Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 690: Chapter 690: Strange Charm Is No Match for the Human Heart (Part 2)

“Speak then, what matter brings you here?”

Rarely teasing the Rain Monster Girl, Wang Chen was in high spirits, and while he had originally planned to send her away, he now decided to listen to her for a bit longer.

After all, he had no intention of granting the Hehuan Sect Disciple her wish.

Realizing the situation, Yu Fei chuckled softly, casting a coquettish glance at Wang Chen before gracefully taking a seat opposite him.

“Brother Wang, do you know?”

Locking eyes with Wang Chen, the Rain Monster Girl said, “Your purchase of Yue Buyi’s residence has disrupted my plans.”

...

“Disrupted your plans?”

Wang Chen immediately paused, “Buying his house is none of your concern… wait a moment!”

A flash of insight crossed his mind, “Could it be that Yue Buyi’s concubine, who was humiliated and committed suicide, was your Sect sister?”

Yu Fei let out a deep sigh, “She was my Senior Sister, deceived by Yue Buyi when he left our Sect, entrusting her heart to someone unworthy.”

Wang Chen puzzled, “Your Senior Sister was so weak?”

Yu Fei, with her high-tier Purple Mansion Cultivation Level, would mean that her Senior Sister, at the very least, also possessed power at the Purple Mansion tier, and given that female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect are all skilled in secret methods, it was astonishing that someone managed to strip her naked and publicly humiliate her.

“She had to relinquish her cultivation upon leaving the Sect,”

Yu Fei said with a distant look in her eyes, “All for love, willing to become a Mortal!”

Yu Fei’s Senior Sister was also a talented individual, advancing rapidly in her cultivation and considered a Nascent Soul Breed within the Sect.

However, she was stuck at the peak of the Purple Mansion for ten years, never able to succeed in Solidifying her Pill.

In order to overcome her emotional blockage, the Senior Sister came to Yongle Immortal City, mingling in the Courtesan House to experience the mortal world.

When she left, Yu Fei’s Master had predicted that she would encounter a love calamity and arranged for Yu Fei to assist her Senior Sister in this critical moment, to help her through the hardship.

Neither Yu Fei nor her Master expected the love calamity to strike with such ferocity.

The Senior Sister fell and would not turn back, yet entrusted her heart to an unworthy man, ultimately meeting a tragic end.

“I intended to kill that Yue Buyi,”

Yu Fei said with a sigh, “But my Senior Sister left a dying message, begging me to spare his life.”

She and her Senior Sister shared a bond akin to siblings, making it difficult to refuse the latter’s last request.

Actually, Yue Buyi had had the capability to prevent his wife from committing the evil act.

But this high-tier Purple Mansion chose to stand by and watch.

In fact, had he clarified his stance at the beginning instead of deceitfully concealing things from his wife, matters might not have gone so disastrously wrong.

In fear of his wife like a tiger, Yue Buyi turned Yu Fei’s Senior Sister into a sacrificial lamb!

Wang Chen fell silent.

That Yue Buyi was truly despicable!

“Ask the world, what is love that it commands one to pledge their life unto death.”

It ended up being a misguided devotion.

Yu Fei’s eyes brightened, “Brother Wang, those words of yours are truly wonderful.”

Wang Chen shook his head, “I heard it from someone else before. So the strange rumors about this house were spread by you, weren’t they?”

Yu Fei smiled radiantly, “Indeed.”

That’s more like it!

The Strange Charm of men’s hearts, when calculated by others intentionally, transforms a good house into a Strange Residence. Without knowing the truth, no matter how much one tries to perform rites for salvation, they cannot break the Evil Wraith within their hearts!@@novelbin@@

But what does this have to do with one named Wang?

Wang Chen bluntly said, “I had no knowledge of the situation. If you’re looking for trouble, go find the real culprits!”

“The true culprits will definitely be sought after,”

Yu Fei said with distress, “Originally, I planned to torment him and his venomous wife slowly, but now that Brother has disrupted my plans, I have to adapt and devise a new strategy.”

In this world, there are countless ways to make a person unable to live as they wish yet also unable to die as they desire.

Yu Fei certainly wouldn’t kill Yue Buyi, but she would never let him off easily!

But when all is said and done, she insists on shoving part of the blame onto Wang Chen!

Wang Chen laughed indignantly, “If you think this counts as me owing you a favor, you’re wrong.”

“I wouldn’t dare think so.”

Yu Fei looked pitiful, “Brother has misunderstood me too deeply!”

Really?

Wang Chen sneered, “Good.”

He put on a heart of stone, an unyielding and ruthless appearance, leaving Yu Fei with no choice but to leave, filled with deep resentment and disappointment.

But intuition told Wang Chen that this was just a facade.

The monster girl wouldn’t be so easily dismissed!

However, Wang Chen couldn’t possibly give up the residence he had just acquired; he finally had a foothold and a place to cultivate in Yongle Immortal City, where he would have to spend his time before Condensing the Core.

If necessary, Wang Chen would also sell the residence to acquire a Condensing Core Treasure.

After driving Yu Fei away, Wang Chen closed his doors and pulled out a stack of talismans from the Sumeru Ring.

They were all Rebirth Talismans!

“Dust to dust, earth to earth, may the lost souls return to the earth…”

After casting dozens of self-made Rebirth Talismans, Wang Chen stood in the courtyard silently chanting the Rebirth Mantra.

Clusters of Spiritual Light flickered silently around him.

Although the so-called strangeness was just Yu Fei seeking revenge on Yue Buyi, after understanding his senior sister’s experiences, Wang Chen felt a tinge of pity for this miserable woman.

Therefore, saying prayers for her soul in the place she died was also a way to settle his own heart.

What Wang Chen never expected was that just as he finished chanting the Rebirth Mantra and completed the simple ritual, a wind suddenly arose in the courtyard.

The wind swept up leaves, which gathered into the shape of a graceful woman right in front of him.

“She” bowed to Wang Chen, seemingly grateful and saying farewell.

Moments later, the wind ceased, the leaves settled, leaving only a lingering scent.

Rest in peace.

Wang Chen suppressed the surprise in his heart and bowed in respect to send her off.

He couldn’t tell if it was psychological, but he felt that his residence had become much brighter and warmer!

In the following days, not receiving any Talisman Messages from the Evil-Suppressing Department, Wang Chen stayed home and dedicated most of his time to cultivating.

His current Cultivation Level was the eighth tier of the Purple Mansion, and he was making every effort to reach the ninth tier as soon as possible, then onto the peak to prepare for Condensing the Pill.

According to his plan, Wang Chen intended to challenge the Golden Core Realm within three years!

He didn’t know how long this peaceful life would last, so he didn’t waste a moment.

However, relaxation is also part of the cultivation journey, and occasionally Wang Chen would go out to unwind, ordering a table full of delicacies at the nearby taverns to worship his “five viscera” temple.

As a result, he actually heard about Yue Buyi.

This faithless man had recently fallen on hard times, first, his corrupt behaviors during his tenure at the government office were exposed, leading to half a month’s imprisonment in the dungeon and the loss of all his wealth due to fines.

His lawful wife left him a severance letter, cutting off their marriage.

The severely stricken Yue Buyi seemed to have encountered an Evil Wraith as the distinguished Purple Mansion actually went mad, ranting nonsense on the streets until his family took him into custody.

Even if he survived, his life was utterly ruined.

And his story had long been gossip in Yongle Immortal City, likely to be infamous for decades.

Wang Chen overheard this and knew well it must be Yu Fei’s doing!

The monster girl is ferocious indeed.
