Chapter 1900: I'll Take You Out!

"Oh my, what a handsome young man! Come on in, our Carefree Grove is a place of warmth and tenderness, I promise you'll forget all about going home."

As soon as Ye Yuan arrived at Carefree Grove, a middle-aged woman immediately came up and grabbed him, pulling him inside.

Ye Yuan looked at the madam and asked, "Is there a girl here named Jiang Haitang?"

Hearing this, the madam immediately became wary, looking at Ye Yuan with deep meaning, and said with a smile, "Young master, she's a rose with thorns. Though she's pretty, she's fiery-tempered! We have plenty of good girls here. How about... you choose another?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This young master likes spirited horses. I want her. Arrange a room and bring her to me."

The madam narrowed her eyes and nodded, "Since the young master likes her, so be it. Someone, take this young master to the best room."

At that, a pimp scurried over and led Ye Yuan to a top room.

This place of smoke and willows was also very popular among martial artists.

The path of cultivation was extremely tedious, and not everyone could devote themselves wholeheartedly to the Dao.

Some martial artists of mediocre talent, after reaching a certain realm, found it hard to break through further, and naturally clung to the pleasures of the world.

Such martial artists actually made up the vast majority.

Along the way, Ye Yuan noticed that Carefree Grove's business was booming.

The girls here were quite beautiful, and each had considerable cultivation, which surprised Ye Yuan greatly.

Having reached the Divine Lord realm, or even the Divine God realm, how could they willingly come here and become playthings for men?

Ye Yuan remained expressionless and arrived at a top room, where the decor was extremely luxurious.

Before long, two burly men escorted a girl and pushed open the door.

Ye Yuan fixed his gaze and saw that the girl looked haggard, with faint bruises on her face.

Her hands and feet were shackled.

But before coming, she had obviously tidied herself up carefully, covering up much of it.

Though haggard, the stubbornness and death wish in her eyes could not be concealed.

Ye Yuan looked at her and sighed inwardly.

After entering, the girl glared at Ye Yuan.

If looks could kill, Ye Yuan would have died several times over.

But Ye Yuan didn't mind and said calmly, "Unlock her handcuffs and shackles."

The two burly men were taken aback and hesitated, "This... isn't appropriate, is it? Young master, this girl is fierce; she's already injured several guests."

Ye Yuan said, "Do you think a girl whose Divine Sea is sealed can hurt me?"

One of them thought it over and still unlocked Jiang Haitang's restraints, snorting, "Behave yourself! If you dare be rude to the guest again, you know the consequences!"

With that, the two burly men left.

Ye Yuan poured himself a glass of wine and also poured one for the empty seat opposite, gesturing for her to sit, and said with a smile, "Sit down and talk. Have a drink to calm your nerves."

Jiang Haitang did not sit. She looked at Ye Yuan and sneered, "Shameless wretch, trying to drug me with wine? Dream on!"

Ye Yuan just smiled at this, drank his glass in one gulp, and said with a smile, "Your name is Jiang Haitang?"

"So what if it is?"

"Is your father Jiang Yutang?"

Jiang Haitang's expression changed, and she said coldly, "Who are you?"

Ye Yuan looked at her and smiled, "Eight hundred years, Divine God Fourth Heaven, not bad, not bad! It seems the effects of the Supreme Void Elixir have fully manifested."

This time, Jiang Haitang was truly shocked.

She stared at Ye Yuan in astonishment, "You... who exactly are you? How do you know I took the Supreme Void Elixir?"

The fact that Jiang Haitang had taken a divine-grade Supreme Void Elixir was known only to her and her father.

So how did this young man know?

Unless...

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You've already guessed, haven't you?"

Jiang Haitang stared intently at Ye Yuan, incredulous, "You... you are Ye Yuan? Impossible! My father said that when you left Tianying Imperial City, you were only at Divine God First Heaven. It's only been a few hundred years; how could you have reached Divine God Fifth Heaven? Could it be... could it be that you swallowed a Divine God Dao Fruit?"

Ye Yuan again made a gesture for her to sit and speak.

This time, Jiang Haitang did not refuse and sat down opposite Ye Yuan.

But still, she did not drink.

Ye Yuan could tell that she was still wary of him.

It seemed that Jiang Yutang's imprisonment and her own fall into the brothel had made her highly guarded against everyone.

"Extend your hand," Ye Yuan said.

Jiang Haitang was startled, but still extended an arm as instructed.

Ye Yuan reached out and placed his fingers on Jiang Haitang's pulse, slowly closing his eyes.

Soon, he opened his eyes and nodded, "Not bad, it is indeed the Supreme Void Elixir I refined."

Jiang Haitang was taken aback, "You doubt me?"

Ye Yuan smiled, "Just as you doubt me, of course I would doubt you too."

Jiang Haitang thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, but I took the Supreme Void Elixir eight or nine hundred years ago. Can you tell if I am Jiang Haitang just by taking my pulse? Or... are you bluffing?"

Ye Yuan smiled, "The medicinal power of a divine-grade pill doesn't dissipate so quickly. I'm sure you've felt its benefits. Higher-grade Void Spirit Pills and even Hao Spirit Pills can affect a martial artist's entire life. I refined the pill myself, so I naturally know it well."

Jiang Haitang knew Ye Yuan was right; with her talent, she would not have been able to reach Divine God Fourth Heaven so quickly.

Over the years in cultivation, the power of the Supreme Void Elixir still played a role at critical moments, allowing her to break through bottlenecks faster.

After all, Jiang Haitang's current strength had already caught up to Jiang Yutang!

Such a rate of progress was unimaginable for her before.

"Th... thank you!" Jiang Haitang said.

Ye Yuan shook his head, "I'd be grateful if you didn't hate me. If not for me, your father wouldn't have been thrown into death row, and you wouldn't have ended up like this."

But Jiang Haitang shook her head, "You don't need to say that. My father said he owes you a great favor. He must fulfill his promise to you! I know, it's all for me..."

At this point, Jiang Haitang could no longer hold back her tears, which flowed like water from an opened sluice.

Ye Yuan sighed, "Brother Jiang is truly a man of his word! Don't worry, I won't let Brother Jiang die just like that. But you... how could you be so foolish as to seek help from a wolf?"

Jiang Haitang wept like a pear blossom in the rain, sobbing, "I... I really had no other choice."

Listening to Jiang Haitang's tearful account, Ye Yuan's anger was reignited.

It turned out that when Jiang Haitang went to see Yu Jinsong, he demanded that she give herself to him before he would release Jiang Yutang.

Jiang Haitang was fiery and refused to submit, but Yu Jinsong had lit Soul-Eating Incense in the room.

He drugged Jiang Haitang, defiled her, sealed her Divine Sea, and sent her to Carefree Grove.

Jiang Haitang, with her fierce temperament, had long harbored thoughts of death, but with Jiang Yutang's fate unknown, she clung to life until now.

After hearing this, Ye Yuan sighed again, took Jiang Haitang's hand, and said, "Come on, I'll take you out."
