Chapter 2343: The Eccentric Couple

Just as Qin Hu and his companion were too terrified to leave the city, Ye Yuan had already left Yunxiang City.

He naturally wouldn't really keep playing with them indefinitely, and he knew that after those few incidents, the two of them probably wouldn't dare to leave the city anymore.

He had also earned enough War God Points from them; there was nothing more to gain.

However, the two were scared out of their wits and simply didn't dare to gamble.

They would rather be killed by the Heavenly Dao than give Ye Yuan any more War God Points.

Sun-Moon Gorge was a relatively dangerous place near Yunxiang City.

In the gorge, there were many mid-stage Heavenly Emperor realm savage beasts.

Given Ye Yuan's current strength, this was clearly the most suitable place for cultivation.

Before leaving, Ye Yuan went to the Spirit Treasure Hall again and used Qin Hu's and his companion's War God Points to exchange for thirty-six low-grade Heavenly Emperor spiritual treasures.

He made slight modifications to the sword formation, using twelve peak-grade Heavenly Emperor spiritual treasures as the core, supplemented by forty-eight low-grade Heavenly Emperor spiritual treasures, driving a thousand Heavenly Lord spiritual treasures.

In this way, with the enhancement of the peak-grade Heavenly Emperor spiritual treasures, the power of the sword formation was even stronger.

In the Primordial War Realm, as soon as you left the city, you could encounter danger at any time.

Of course, the closer to the city, the weaker the savage beasts; the farther from the city, the stronger the savage beasts.

Along the way, Ye Yuan had killed many savage beasts, but the War God Points he obtained were not many.

Only now did he realize how difficult it was to earn War God Points.

Killing low-level savage beasts yielded almost no War God Points.

And when killing high-level savage beasts, once your rank was high, the War God Points you obtained would become fewer and fewer.

Eventually, your bottleneck would arrive.

So here, you needed to constantly grow stronger to surpass yourself.

"Hey, husband, there's a little guy here!"

"Don't look, or I'll kill him!"

"Hehe, husband, I just love it when you're jealous! How about we kill him?"

"Mwah, wife, I love your beautiful and moving look too! But this little guy's realm is too low; killing him won't bring any benefit. Let him go."

"Hehe, my husband is the kindest! Love you!"

"Mwah, wife, I love you too!"

...

Suddenly, a man and a woman approached from not far away.

Their conversation made Ye Yuan shudder.

They were clearly a couple, but their speech was so saccharine it was unbearable.

Ye Yuan took one look: the man was extremely ugly, and the woman was about the same.

Then the man said the woman was beautiful and moving, and the woman said the man was handsome and upright.

He really didn't know where they got the nerve.

These two were truly a perfect match, a pair of live wires.

However, that such an ugly couple were also Sons of Calamity surprised Ye Yuan quite a bit.

The saying 'you can't judge a book by its cover' probably applied here.

Ye Yuan couldn't be bothered with them and intended to leave directly.

If it came to a fight, he naturally wasn't afraid.

But unexpectedly, as he was about to leave, the woman suddenly said, "Little brother, your strength is too low. Why not come with us? My husband and I will protect you!"

The man immediately flew into a rage and said, "Aiya, you're infuriating me! Are you saying you don't have your eye on this pretty boy?"

The woman rolled her eyes and said, "Stop it! I just find this child endearing, reminds me of our own child! If he were still alive, he'd probably be just as handsome, right?"

As she spoke, the woman actually started to cry.

The man fell silent upon hearing this, choked with emotion.

Ye Yuan originally wanted to ignore them, but seeing their genuine emotion, which didn't seem fake, he felt awkward about leaving.

However, just as he was about to refuse, the man suddenly said, "Kid, you heard that. My wife thinks you're pitiful. In this Sun-Moon Gorge, stick with us!"

Ye Yuan smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for your kind intentions, but I'm used to traveling alone. I won't impose on you two."

His words were very polite.

After all, they meant well, so Ye Yuan maintained a degree of respect.

But the man didn't accept it.

His face fell, and he said sternly, "I told you to follow, so follow. Why so much nonsense?"

Ye Yuan shook his head upon hearing this. What an eccentric couple.

The woman quickly said, "Oh, you fool, what if you scare the child? Little brother, it's really dangerous here! And there are many bad people in Sun-Moon Gorge. If you come with us, we can share some War God Points with you!"

This woman was really protective of him, like a mother hen.

But Ye Yuan had come here to train; what was the point of following these two?

So he had to decline their kindness.

Ye Yuan cupped his hands again and said, "Madam, I truly appreciate your kindness. But I came here to train, so I really can't follow you two. Farewell."

With that, Ye Yuan turned to leave.

But just then, his vision blurred, and the man blocked his path.

The man's face darkened, looking very angry, and said, "You brat, you don't know what's good for you! Since you won't follow willingly, I'll have to use force!"

Ye Yuan couldn't help but laugh. He had heard of forced buying and selling, but never forced training companionship.

"Brother, if you can keep me here, then I'll follow you without complaint," Ye Yuan said calmly.

"Heh, kid, you're quite arrogant! You don't know our reputation, do you? We are the Heavenly Mandarin Duck and Earthly Mandarin Duck, famous throughout the Tongtian Realm!" the man said.

Ye Yuan remained unmoved and said calmly, "Senior Heavenly Mandarin Duck, please!"

Heavenly Mandarin Duck's face darkened, and he suddenly threw a punch.

But he clearly held back some strength, thinking that Ye Yuan's frail body couldn't withstand his punch.

Earthly Mandarin Duck stood by, smiling silently, watching the show.

Facing the punch, Ye Yuan neither dodged nor avoided, throwing a punch of his own.

He understood that he had to speak with strength against this Heavenly Mandarin Duck.

Boom!

A loud noise rang out. Ye Yuan stood motionless, while Heavenly Mandarin Duck stumbled back several steps.

The immense force surged into his organs, and he quickly circulated his divine essence to neutralize it.

Ye Yuan had also not used his full strength in this punch.

But the couple looked surprised, clearly not expecting Ye Yuan to be so strong.

"Perfect Eight Revolutions! Kid, I didn't see that coming—you've got some real skill!" Heavenly Mandarin Duck said in surprise.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior Heavenly Mandarin Duck, may I leave now?"

Unexpectedly, Heavenly Mandarin Duck shook his head and said, "My wife and I mean what we say. I told you to follow, so follow! If you keep talking, I'll get serious!"

Ye Yuan was getting a bit annoyed by their persistent pestering.

These two were clearly being unreasonable.

"Is that so? Then I'd like to see Senior Heavenly Mandarin Duck's skill! Please!" Ye Yuan said calmly.
