Chapter 1295: Kind-hearted Wanru
Peerless Medicine God · 第1295章 善良的婉茹
Liang Wanrong, Zhang Shun, and the group of guards stared wide-eyed, unable to believe the two figures on the elephant's back.
They wondered if they were seeing things!
Riding on the elephant were none other than Ye Yuan and Liang Wanru, whom they had thought long dead in the sea of beasts.
Liang Wanrong was dumbfounded. She never expected that the 'senior' she had begged for help was actually the two of them!
But how was this possible?
They were riding a first-stage late-phase divine beast!
Two good-for-nothings had actually tamed a divine beast?
How... how could you...
Liang Wanrong muttered to herself, still unable to believe what she saw.
Not only her, but Zhang Shun also looked utterly confused.
The Demonic Giant Elephant was extremely狂暴, killing anyone it saw, yet it had been tamed by the two of them.
Ye Yuan glanced at them and said with a faint smile, "You guys keep playing. We're just passing through, won't disturb you."
Liang Wanrong's heart jolted. If Ye Yuan left, they were as good as dead.
"Sister, I am your sister! Are you really going to watch your own flesh and blood be killed by these beasts?" Liang Wanrong cried out.
Liang Wanrong was clever. She knew Ye Yuan wouldn't save her, but Liang Wanru would!
Sure enough, Liang Wanru's delicate body trembled, and she looked at Ye Yuan with pleading eyes.
Her meaning was all too clear.
She wanted Ye Yuan to save Liang Wanrong!
Ye Yuan sighed inwardly. This girl was far too kind-hearted.
Even after how Liang Wanrong had treated her, she still chose to be forgiving.
But Ye Yuan wasn't so benevolent.
A woman with a heart as venomous as a snake or scorpion—once saved, she would only cause more trouble later.
"Hey, using your own sister as bait to buy yourself a chance to escape. Miss Wanrong, you're quite the good sister! Now, are you going to exploit Miss Wanru's kindness again?" Ye Yuan mocked.
Liang Wanrong bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes, pitiful enough to melt anyone's heart.
"Sister, I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong! I was just momentarily confused to do something so beastly! Boohoo..."
As she spoke, Liang Wanrong began to sob, looking utterly pathetic.
As expected, Liang Wanru's heart softened. She reached out her jade-like finger and tugged at Ye Yuan's sleeve, the plea in her eyes growing stronger.
Seeing this, Liang Wanrong secretly rejoiced.
This stupid sister of hers was such a pushover!
There was hope!
Ye Yuan remained silent. Liang Wanru tugged harder at his sleeve, tears threatening to spill from her eyes.
Ye Yuan sighed softly and said, "Fine, I hope you won't regret this!"
Having lived two lives, Ye Yuan understood human nature all too well.
Someone like Liang Wanrong was the type who would never change their ways.
Saving her today would not earn her gratitude; instead, it might breed resentment.
Seeing Ye Yuan relent, Liang Wanrong and the guards were overjoyed.
"Great! Thank you! Thank you, brother-in-law!"
Liang Wanrong blurted out, directly calling Ye Yuan 'brother-in-law'.
Ye Yuan sneered inwardly. Liang Wanrong's act was too拙劣 in his eyes.
If you're going to act, at least be convincing—hide that glint of murder in your eyes, okay?
But Liang Wanru blushed deeply and waved her hands repeatedly.
At that moment, the two of them sat on the elephant's back, one in front and one behind. Although Ye Yuan was perfectly proper, the scene was indeed somewhat intimate.
Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Everyone, make way!"
At Ye Yuan's command, the demon beasts indeed parted to make a path.
Seeing this, Zhang Shun's eyes nearly popped out!
He had thought these demon beasts were all afraid of the Heavenly Giant Elephant, but now it seemed they were actually in awe of Ye Yuan!
Ye Yuan was merely a cripple whose divine sea had been destroyed—how could he make these demon beasts fear him so?
What gave him the right?
More importantly, among these demon beasts were even divine beasts like the Cloud-Splitting Roar Leopard and the Heavenly Giant Elephant!
Little did he know that although Ye Yuan's cultivation had been completely废, the aura of the dragon clan still lingered on him.
Wu Chen had said that even in the Tongtian Realm, the dragon clan was an extremely noble divine beast bloodline.
After Ye Yuan broke through to the divine realm, his bloodline had evolved to the divine level.
How would these demon beasts in the Ten Thousand Beast Forest dare to act presumptuously before him?
A mere beast tide was nothing to fear for Ye Yuan.
But Liang Wanrong, in her self-righteous cleverness, had staged a disgusting scene, fully exposing her true nature.
Zhang Shun stared at Ye Yuan, his gaze filled with wariness.
This man who had appeared from nowhere seemed quite extraordinary!
He increasingly felt that Ye Yuan was an enigmatic existence.
Though he couldn't even condense divine essence, his methods were endless.
Even a cultivator at the Heaven-Seeing Divine Realm couldn't make the demon beasts in a beast tide so terrified!
"On behalf of my brothers, Zhang Shun thanks Brother Ye for the great life-saving grace! I hope Brother Ye will forgive any previous offenses." Zhang Shun bowed to Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan said indifferently, "If you want to thank someone, thank Miss Wanru. Given my temper, I would never have saved you."
Zhang Shun was taken aback; he hadn't expected Ye Yuan to be so blunt.
But at this moment, he couldn't afford to be displeased, so he also thanked Liang Wanru.
Ye Yuan and his companion rode the Heavenly Giant Elephant all the way through the Ten Thousand Beast Forest before releasing it.
Along the way, they cut quite a majestic figure.
Liang Wanrong's mount couldn't even stand straight before the Heavenly Giant Elephant, so she had to drag her injured body and walk on foot with the guards.
During this journey, she also became much more subdued, no longer acting as arrogantly as before.
When the Heavenly Giant Elephant left, it raised its trunk as if saluting Ye Yuan.
Seeing this, the guards marveled.
They had never witnessed such a scene before.
Over these days, Ye Yuan had fully absorbed the medicinal power of the Profound Origin Pill, but due to the severity of his injuries, his physical body had only recovered forty to fifty percent.
After a few more days of travel, the group finally arrived at Guishan City!
Zhang Shun cupped his hands to Ye Yuan and said, "Brother Ye, this is Guishan City. Do you have any plans?"
Ye Yuan glanced at Liang Wanru and said, "I haven't yet repaid Miss Wanru's life-saving grace. How about I go with you to the Liang family, if that's acceptable?"
Ye Yuan had originally planned to part ways with this group upon reaching Guishan City.
As for Liang Wanru's life-saving grace, he would repay it later.
But now, he was somewhat worried about Liang Wanru and thus decided to enter the Liang family with her.
In truth, Zhang Shun hoped Ye Yuan would leave. He was now very wary of Ye Yuan, and along the way, Ye Yuan had seen too much, which might be detrimental to the Second Miss.
But with Ye Yuan wanting to enter the Liang family, he really had no reason to refuse.
With Miss Wanru present, his refusal would be useless anyway.
Liang Wanru's eyes showed surprise when she heard Ye Yuan's words.
"Great, great! Brother-in-law, it's wonderful that you can enter the Liang family! As your sister-in-law, I must properly repay your life-saving grace!" Liang Wanrong agreed cheerfully.
Zhang Shun glanced at her and sighed helplessly.
This little girl really thought Ye Yuan was so easy to deal with?
Whether his entry into the Liang family would be like catching a turtle in a jar or inviting a wolf into the house was hard to say!
