207: Hongniang's evaluation! You, Yang Yucheng, are a ruthless person.

That night!

Yang Yucheng, Ye Mei, and Ye Yu played some provocative little games.

So, the two of them looked a bit tired and their energy was somewhat depleted, which was understandable.

And in the dead of night, Yang Yucheng pricked up his ears and listened to the pouring rain outside, which had lessened considerably.

Outside the window.

Even with the windows tightly shut, the fresh, damp air, mixed with earth, rocks, and vegetation, gradually seeped through the cracks in the doors and windows.

Yang Yucheng's originally somewhat excited spirits couldn't help but clear, and his mind returned to calm.

As for that drowsy sleepiness...

After he entered the Middle Three Realms, he no longer had these common human ailments.

Whether it was the desire for food and drink or these other things, none of them existed!

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

Just then.

A suppressed laugh, as if it could no longer be held back, completely erupted in Yang Yucheng's mind!

It was Red Maiden!

Hearing this laughter, Yang Yucheng's previously relaxed mood couldn't help but tense up.

Even he felt a bit strange about it.

"Don't tell me you've been secretly watching the whole time!"

Yang Yucheng narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them, yet a sense of relief also rose in his heart.

Fortunately, Red Maiden was a female; otherwise... if it had been a male secretly watching, Yang Yucheng would truly have killed him to silence him!

But it was fine that Yang Yucheng didn't say anything; the moment he opened his mouth and brought up such a topic, Red Maiden's stifled laughter burst forth like bamboo shoots after the rain, one after another, cackling and rocking back and forth.

For a while, she simply couldn't stop.

The goose-like laughter in Yang Yucheng's mind also sang out loudly!

Two red palms paddle clear ripples, a line of white egrets ascends to the blue sky!

"Hahahahaha!!!"

"Yang Yucheng, you are truly the most ruthless person Red Maiden has ever witnessed across these several heavens and earths. How could you endure such a thing?"

"Two charming, beautiful maidens, like flowers and jade, actively came to flirt, and you could still resolve it in this manner?"

"Truly admirable!"

"Red Maiden has seen many brilliant and talented individuals in this life, but none have ever been able to compare to you!"

Red Maiden's words of admiration came through.

Yang Yucheng felt no pride or arrogance at all.

As for a few hours ago, when Ye Yu and Ye Mei threw themselves into his arms, Yang Yucheng also felt no sense of self-satisfaction.

Are you kidding?

Did he really think the dozen terabytes of hard drive he collected in his previous life were for nothing? He had long experienced thousands of things and was not comparable to ordinary people.

It was merely a bit of willpower; what did that count for?

Yang Yucheng remained silent, simply too lazy to continue discussing this topic with Red Maiden.

"Yang Yucheng, you are a ruthless person!"

Red Maiden continued to evaluate him.

Yang Yucheng still ignored her!

Gradually!

Red Maiden grew bored and then abruptly stopped, going back to sleep!

Inside the zhaoshen treasure mirror fragment that Yang Yucheng had refined, Red Maiden had been mostly sleeping; otherwise, after she regained her sentience, such a long period of time would have been quite boring.

It would easily drive the artifact spirit mad.

"I need to find a way to properly learn more advanced artifact refining techniques. Can I make the artifact spirit temporarily fall asleep?"

"And the Awakening method, I also need to properly learn that!"

Yang Yucheng opened the window.

A cool breeze came in, and Yang Yucheng's spiritual power stirred, enveloping Ye Yu and Ye Mei in a layer.

This was to prevent the two of them from catching a cold and harming their bodies!

Yang Yucheng would only allow something like tonight's events to happen once; a second time was absolutely not allowed!

It was simply his dark history!

And these things could only be hidden in that black box; no one else should ever know!

...The sun gradually rose.

The originally deep, melancholic, blue sky gradually became a mix of dark and bright.

With the rooster's crow, the vast Ye Family finally seemed to gain a touch of human warmth!

Yang Yucheng's residence was a standalone courtyard, identical to the island he had previously inhabited.

Without his command, no one would deliberately disturb him, except for the servants attending to him within the courtyard.

Even if there were, they would have to notify him in advance through the maids and servants within the courtyard.

Even last night, when Ye Yu and Ye Mei came to take advantage of the proximity, they had to do so in this manner.

Otherwise, it would truly be somewhat provocative!

About half an hour passed again.

The great sun ascended!

A golden light burst forth between heaven and earth, and the golden morning glow illuminated the world, also shining upon Yang Yucheng's slightly open, dark and bright eyes.

Waking up, Yang Yucheng felt his body seemed to have become several times lighter.

With a thought, Yang Yucheng once again used the Heavenly Secret Technique.

Looking, the chains had actually receded further.

Although the extent of their recession was not as obvious as last night, the trend was still significant!

Thinking of this, Yang Yucheng immediately called out, "Red Maiden, what's going on?"

Red Maiden seemed to have just woken up as well, speaking with a hazy feeling.

"Could it be that Ye Tian experienced some new hardship last night, causing his Luck to rise? And then, you also benefited a lot from it?"

"Not very likely!"

Yang Yucheng shook his head, denying this guess.

If there had been any disturbance in the Ye Family last night, he should have noticed it immediately.

But there wasn't.

"Then it must be something else!"

Red Maiden continued to guess, "Perhaps, some things that originally belonged to Ye Tian have now been taken by you."

"Perhaps that would also have the same effect?"

Red Maiden's words were just a casual guess.

But Yang Yucheng's reaction!

Yang Yucheng's eyes focused, his gaze slightly narrowed.

Before long, his gaze subtly shifted, already falling upon the bodies of Ye Yu and Ye Mei on the long couch.

The mystery was thus solved.

"So, this is how it is?"

Yang Yucheng thought to himself.

"In that case, Junior Brother Ye Tian, I am truly sorry for what comes next!"

As Senior Brother Yang, he truly didn't want to do this, but he couldn't possibly push away benefits that were delivered to his doorstep.

So, after much thought, Yang Yucheng could only make these Children of Destiny suffer a bit more.

And what could Yang Yucheng have taken?

Of course, it was these two young maidens before him.

The two of them might not be important supporting characters to Ye Tian, just like Sun Xiuqing, the noble daughter of the Sun Family, who was his childhood sweetheart before.

But their relationship with Ye Tian, the Young Clan Head, was definitely ambiguous.

That's why there was a certain destiny linked to them.

And that's why Yang Yucheng had such a harvest!

All deductions were logically sound and reasonable!

...Time quietly passed, and the bright, clear daytime had thoroughly arrived.

There were several serving maids, carrying washbasins, attending not only to Yang Yucheng but also to Ye Yu and Ye Mei beside him.
