Chapter 2: The Infuriated Xu Yao

Listening to Li Chen’s words, Zhao Yong had felt utterly speechless.

As far as he knew, Xu Yao had just been named the new campus beauty of Haining University! If even Xu Yao was mediocre and vulgarity , then what kind of woman could possibly catch Li Chen’s eye?

Upon hearing Li Chen’s comment, Xu Yao had almost spat out a mouthful of blood in disbelief.

“You! You! You!” She had pointed at Li Chen, suddenly feeling an overwhelming sense of humiliation. She had nearly ground her teeth to dust with the repetition of the word ‘you,’ and her face had turned a deep shade of red from the indignation.

Mediocre and common? She, Xu Yao, had never received such an evaluation before.

Just as Xu Yao was fuming, a thought had occurred to her.

No!

He must be trying to attract her attention this way! Over the years, there had been many who had tried to get her attention through various means.

Realizing this, Xu Yao had quickly calmed down, a knowing smile gracing her face.

“Li Chen, are you trying to get my attention with such a clumsy method? Do you think I’m stupid? Let me tell you, it will only make me despise and look down on you even more!”

On the other side, having had a moment to recover, Li Chen had withdrawn his arrogant gaze, and turned to look at Xu Yao in puzzlement, “Get your attention?”

“Keep pretending!” Xu Yao had snorted coldly, the disdain on her face deepening.

Li Chen had looked at Xu Yao’s self-righteous expression, but couldn’t fathom where she was getting her confidence from.

Seeing Li Chen remain silent, Xu Yao had smirked triumphantly. She had guessed right!

Hmmph! After all this posturing, wasn’t he going to try and win her favor?

However, what Li Chen said next had frozen the self-satisfied smile on Xu Yao’s face before it could fully bloom.

“You may leave,” Li Chen had said airily, as if each word were precious, as if speaking any more to them would be a waste.

Xu Yao had stared at Li Chen, her face a picture of disbelief, her little fists unconsciously clenched.

Leave?

Shouldn’t he be saying nice things to win her attention?

Being a campus beauty, Xu Yao had never lacked attention. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have attracted so many suitors the moment she stepped into the university campus. However, for some reason, when Li Chen, who had pursued her for so many years, had suddenly turned his attitude and asked her to leave, Xu Yao had felt somewhat lost and empty.

Zhao Yong, who had been sitting on the ground, had shivered and hastily stood up. “Uh… Brother Chen! Then I won’t bother you anymore! Rest assured, from now on, Sister Yao is your girlfriend. If anyone dares to hit on Sister Yao, I, Zhao Yong, will be the first to not let him off!”

With that, Zhao Yong had hurriedly brushed past Xu Yao like a gust of wind, disappearing into the corridor.

Xu Yao had hesitated for a moment, but her feet had remained rooted to the spot.

For some unknown reason, the more Li Chen had ignored her, the more unsettled Xu Yao had become in her heart. She had grown increasingly unwilling to just walk away.

Xu Yao had no idea that what she considered her proud assets were utterly worthless in Li Chen’s eyes.

Seeing Xu Yao standing in place, lost in thought, Li Chen couldn’t help but frown slightly.

He had planned to cultivate here for a while. Having been reborn, he had not possessed any cultivation base, which had made him feel quite insecure.

For cultivation, one naturally needed to find a place free from disturbances, and this rooftop had seemed perfect for that.

“Still not leaving?” Li Chen had looked at Xu Yao for a moment before uttering three indifferent words.

“Is this rooftop your property? Why should I listen to you and leave?” Xu Yao had glared, her breathing rapid in anger.

No sooner had the words left her mouth than Xu Yao herself had hesitated, unable to clarify her own thoughts.

Normally, Xu Yao would have left without a second word, but today, for some unknown reason, she had felt like standing her ground against Li Chen.

Li Chen had paused upon hearing this, cast a curious glance at Xu Yao, and said nothing more. He had gone off to one side, sat down, and began cultivating.

Seeing herself being completely ignored by Li Chen, Xu Yao had become even more infuriated.

Yet, she had found herself in a predicament—neither able to leave nor to stay, in a rather awkward situation.

“Hmph! All you know is to put on airs! Let’s see how long you can keep this up!” Xu Yao had kicked a stone away and sat down at a distance. She had decided to stick around.

Unbeknownst to even herself, Xu Yao’s attention had been subtly captured by Li Chen.

At that moment, Li Chen had already plunged deep into his cultivation.

Time had no meaning in the mountains; years could pass in the blink of an eye.

Such was the nature of cultivating immortality.

When Li Chen had finally finished his cultivation and opened his eyes, the sun had already set.

“Phew!” Exhaling deeply, Li Chen had slowly stood up.

With that motion, the joints all over his body had cracked audibly.

In the path of cultivation, there had been nine great realms: Postnatal, Prenatal, Foundation Establishment, Spiritual, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Unity, Mahayana, and Immortal Ascension.

Within the Postnatal realm, there had been three sub-realms: Light Force realm, Dark Force realm, and Transforming Force realm.

After an afternoon of cultivation, Li Chen had already become a cultivator at the Light Force realm.

Checking the sky, Li Chen had frowned slightly, “Seems a bit slow…”

He had noticed through his afternoon cultivation that the spiritual energy of the Earth had almost run dry. Given the vast amount of spiritual energy needed, he had feared that without external aids, it would take him an entire lifetime to even reach the foundation establishment realm.

These external aids had referred to rare medicinal ingredients and gemstones containing spiritual energy.

However, any of these items on Earth would cost a fortune, wouldn’t they? Given Li Chen’s current circumstances, he couldn’t even afford a single spiritual material or a fragment of a spiritual stone!

As he was internally lamenting his situation, Li Chen had suddenly paused. Not far from him, Xu Yao had been staring at him as if he were some sort of monster.

Having dryly watched Li Chen all afternoon, Xu Yao had already grown impatient. But as time wore on, it was as if she were competing with Li Chen in a contest of wills, growing increasingly determined to see it through.

Xu Yao was convinced that Li Chen was just putting on a show for her. If she didn’t expose his tricks right in front of him, she couldn’t soothe the anger in her heart!

But what was that crackling sound just now, like frying beans?

It couldn’t be an illusion!

Yet, how could a normal person make such a sound?

Seeing Xu Yao’s ghost-like expression, Li Chen had paused only momentarily before averting his gaze.

As the sky had begun to darken, Li Chen had decided not to further engage with Xu Yao.

“I’m leaving,” he had uttered briefly, striding towards the stairway.

Watching Li Chen simply get up and leave, Xu Yao’s mouth had slightly opened, but she hadn’t been able to utter a single word.

It wasn’t that she had nothing to say; rather, she couldn’t find the words to express the dissatisfaction and anger boiling inside her at that moment. Xu Yao, who had always been the belle of the university, had never been so coldly dismissed!

On the other side, Li Chen had barely descended a few steps when he heard a hysterical cry echoing from the rooftop.
