187: You are worse than your master! Giving away the sword manual is not a sign of martial ethics.

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for marrying Leng Yue. The System detected Leng Yue has a Superior Spiritual Root!”

“Congratulations to the Host for acquiring 30 merit points!”

“Congratulations to the Host for acquiring 30 merit points!”

“Congratulations to the Host for acquiring 30 merit points!”

...In the bamboo forest early in the morning, birds chirped crisply. Ye An lay on the ground, checking the reward records from last night!

His heart finally saw a glimmer of hope for getting out!

However, what surprised him was that even with Leng Yue's immense strength, she only possessed a Superior Spiritual Root.

It seems that even if everyone has the same Spiritual Root, each person's strength will still vary greatly depending on their environment, resources, and their Heart-Nature!

Ye An thought, then opened the System panel, and immediately saw the current remaining merit points!

“Current remaining merit points: 250 points!”

Looking at the remaining merit points, Ye An smiled with satisfaction.

Although it was only a little over two hundred points a day, at this rate, he would be able to leave in less than a month!

“Should I check the favorability?”

This thought suddenly popped into Ye An's mind.

Thinking this, he looked at Leng Yue, who was lying beside him with her back turned.

Although he felt in his heart that this girl probably wouldn't develop any favorability towards him.

After all, he had forced her last night... Yet, Ye An, as if by a ghost's prompting, still clicked on Leng Yue's information!

“Leng Yue's current favorability is: 10%”

Looking at this 10% favorability, Ye An couldn't help but be stunned.

To be honest, he really hadn't expected there to actually be 10% favorability!

Could this be the legendary 'love grows over time'?

Thinking this, Ye An quickly turned Leng Yue over.

But then Ye An froze, seeing Leng Yue with her eyes closed, seemingly still asleep!

However, two lines of clear tears had already flowed from her eyes.

Clearly, this woman was already awake!

Ye An didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only take out a storage ring and place it in Leng Yue's hand!

“I will take responsibility for you!”

“Inside are some daily necessities and Medicinal Pills!”

“I'll come find you again tonight!”

Leng Yue remained unresponsive. Ye An knew she was currently furious.

So he didn't stay any longer, immediately getting up and leaving!

This matter could only be handled slowly; rushing wouldn't help!

However, he was also worried, so after arriving outside the bamboo forest, he called Manor Elder over!

“I'm going back to Cultivate. You help me watch her, don't let her do anything foolish!”

Manor Elder's expression was strange when he heard this, and he said,

“You're truly ruthless, kid. If a girl isn't willing, you resort to force!”

“Although my Master was also a philanderer in his previous life, my Master relied on deception. You, kid, actually rely on robbery! You're worse than my Master!”

Ye An said helplessly,

“You have the nerve to criticize me? If it weren't for your Master setting this ridiculous rule!”

“Would I be like this?”

“But don't worry, I still stand by what I said: I will take responsibility!”

“You take responsibility? How will you take responsibility? She has no feelings for you!”

Manor Elder said helplessly.

Ye An, however, said with a serious expression,

“There are no feelings now, but I believe love grows over time!”

“Just you wait and see!”

After Ye An finished speaking, he said no more, directly returned to the manor, then sat cross-legged in the square and began to circulate the Star Gazing Art!

Manor Elder also sighed helplessly, silently guarding outside the bamboo forest!

Sure enough, Leng Yue then attempted suicide once!

It was just a pity that Manor Elder stopped her.

Seeing Manor Elder blocking her, Leng Yue completely despaired!

She leaned against the bamboo, sitting there blankly, unmoving!

She sat until nightfall!

...As night fell, sure enough, Ye An came again!

Only this time, Leng Yue didn't even look at him. She just sat there blankly, all light gone from her eyes.

Clearly, she was truly in despair!

There's a saying, 'the greatest sorrow is a dead heart.' At this moment, she was perhaps in that very state!

Ye An came before Leng Yue and handed her a book!

Leng Yue was startled, looked down, and saw several large characters written on the book's cover!

“Slaying Immortal Swordplay, Part One!”

Ye An sat beside her and said,

“This Slaying Immortal Swordplay, Part One, belongs to my Master, the Immortal Flying Star, who is also the owner of this manor!”

“Many years ago, when he traveled to a Hidden Family, he obtained this sword manual!”

“There are three volumes in total: Part One, Part Two, and Part Three!”

“With my current strength, I can only help you obtain Part One! But it is definitely the best sword manual among all that I can access!”

Leng Yue, however, gritted her teeth and said,

“Do you think giving me a sword manual can compensate for the harm you've done to me?”

“I don't need it!”

As Leng Yue spoke, she directly threw the sword manual towards Ye An!

However, Ye An raised his hand and caught it, then placed it back on the ground!

“I know it can't compensate, but I still stand by what I said: I will take responsibility for you!”

“Since you hate me, what's the use of just sitting here blankly?”

“My strength is increasing day by day. If you just sit there, you'll have even less chance to kill me!”

“This Slaying Immortal Swordplay is a Peak Heavenly Grade sword manual. After Cultivating all three parts, it will be enough to threaten my life and death!”

“If you want revenge, you can try to learn it!”

“After all, only by learning it will you have a chance for revenge, won't you?”

Leng Yue was startled by these words. Clearly, there seemed to be some truth to what Ye An said!

Her current strength was at least still above Ye An's, although she couldn't catch him due to his speed!

But if this sword manual was truly so powerful, she wasn't without a chance for revenge!

Most importantly, if she didn't Cultivate, she would continue to be bullied by this guy!

If she Cultivated, she would still temporarily be bullied by this guy!

Then she might as well Cultivate!

Moreover, didn't she initially want to obtain things from this Flying Star Manor?

Thinking of this, Leng Yue turned to look at Ye An!

“You'd better be lying to me, otherwise, if you truly give me a chance!”

“I will definitely kill you!”

Seeing the rekindled anger in Leng Yue's eyes, Ye An smiled instead!

At least, new hope had ignited within that anger!

What people fear most is having no hope, and only when there is hope can one start anew!

Ye An looked at Leng Yue and said,

“I can make a blood oath that the Slaying Immortal Swordplay I gave you is indeed the strongest sword technique I can currently access!”

“But I cannot guarantee that you will definitely be able to kill me!”

“After all, I am also getting stronger. Whether you can kill me depends on your own ability!”

Seeing that Ye An had said all this, Leng Yue just snorted coldly, too lazy to bother with him anymore.

She held the Slaying Immortal Swordplay and turned to flip through it.

And as Leng Yue began to read this Slaying Immortal Swordplay, Part One, she discovered!

Ye An had actually not lied to her!

Because the sword technique recorded in this Slaying Immortal Swordplay was indeed extraordinarily profound!

At least it was far more profound than any sword technique she had ever Cultivated before!

Although she couldn't be sure that she could definitely kill Ye An with this sword art!

It could absolutely make her strength advance by leaps and bounds!

Thinking this, Leng Yue stopped wasting words, immediately got up, took out her accompanying sword, and began to Cultivate according to the records in the sword art.

Ye An was not in a hurry, he just sat by and watched quietly!

Until an hour later.

Leng Yue had initially grasped the profoundness of the Slaying Immortal Swordplay and stopped to wipe her sweat and rest.

Only then did Ye An hand over the food and water he had already prepared.

Leng Yue glared fiercely at Ye An, then took the food and water and began to eat!

Ye An then drank some wine for a while!

Only after Leng Yue had eaten and drunk her fill did he get up and say,

“It's getting late, and you've eaten and drunk your fill!”

“Let's rest early!”

“You!”

Leng Yue immediately gritted her teeth in anger, but at the same time, her face instantly turned red.

Before she could even open her mouth to refuse!

Ye An had already pointed a finger at her abdomen.

The familiar feeling from last night quickly resurfaced, causing Leng Yue to immediately curse angrily!

“You actually ambushed me, you have no martial virtue!”

Ye An, hearing this, just smiled, and casually pulled Leng Yue into his arms, looking at her delicate, pretty face, and said,

“You didn't dodge, so can you blame me?”
