TDCM Chapter 37

 Chapter 37 - Little Monster Pretending to Be Cultured

If Yuan Chu hadn't withdrawn that strike in time, he would have died! His grasp on Ye Chenyuan tightened. His eyes stared at Yuan Chu, ruthless and terrified.

"What kind of monster are you?"

Yes, only a monster could kill people above their cultivation. Only a monster couldn't be trapped by the illusions. Yuan Chu was just a little seven-year-old girl on the surface! But how could a seven-year-old do all this? She had to be a monster!

"Monster Yuan Chu" stood in front of Zhou Daofu. The prison she had basically destroyed was riddled with holes, light streaming through them.

Yuan Chu's heart tightened at the sight of Zhou Daofu's fingers drawing blood from Ye Chenyuan's neck. Her face was cold. "Let him go and I'll let you leave."

How would Zhou Daofu dare to let him go? Ye Chenyuan was his last line of defense. He wouldn't let him go even in death!

"No! You leave here now. Leave the Zhou family! Or else, I will kill him immediately!"

The women had all run away, and his plan was completely revealed. He had no choice but to keep Ye Chenyuan, exchange souls with him, and occupy his body. Ye Chenyuan would be the one to suffer the rage of the influential families!

Seeing that he still wanted Ye Chenyuan's body, Yuan Chu was so angry she laughed.

"You think you can escape? How about this? If you let go of him, I'll give you a seventh rank talisman that will let you teleport a thousand miles away. If you don't agree, I won't hold back!"

She looked like she didn't care about Ye Chenyuan at all. It seemed that if Zhou Daofu didn't agree to the trade, she would kill both him and Ye Chenyuan.

Zhou Daofu couldn't figure out Yuan Chu's character anymore. He didn't know if she was truly so cruel, but if it were him, he would do the same. Disciples could be replaced; it wasn't worth letting go of an enemy who deserved to die.

In truth, Yuan Chu's heart was racing. She gazed at Ye Chenyuan with guilt in her eyes. He wouldn't misunderstand her and think she didn't care about him, right?

Ye Chenyuan couldn't speak at the moment. Plus, after being imprisoned, he couldn't enter the Sky Pearl. However, with Yuan Chu's nervous glance, he sensed her thoughts and smiled. He gazed back at her, sending his belief in her. He knew she wouldn't hurt him, so he didn't seem hurt at all. He was so calm he didn't seem like a hostage.

Zhou Daofu thought for a moment and then gritted his teeth. "Okay, I’ll exchange with you!"

The seventh rank talisman was enough for him to escape a place no one could catch him!

Yuan Chu didn't waste words and pulled out a talisman. The golden pattern on it showed how extraordinary it was.

The talisman flew to Zhou Daofu. He should have let go of Ye Chenyuan, but instead, a hidden light shone in his eyes. He sucked in one last breath of spiritual energy and grabbed the talisman, laughing heartily.

"You want me to let him go? In your dreams! This brat is mine!"

He wanted to take Ye Chenyuan with him?!

"No!" Startled, Yuan Chu reached for him. At that moment, Zhou Daofu activated the talisman!

An explosion erupted, blowing off one of Zhou Daofu's hands. However, he cried out again, because Ye Chenyuan, who had escaped the seal, cut off his other hand!

"How could... How could..." Zhou Daofu stared at his empty arms in disbelief, his face ashen.

The master could fight past her cultivation level, and the disciple could break a seal meant for Nascent Souls. What kind of abnormal master-disciple pair was this?!

Yuan Chu didn't take the time to look at him. She stared at Ye Chenyuan and then started to physically check him.

"Are you alright? Did that explosion hurt you? Are you injured?"

A talisman that could hurt a Nascent Soul was very powerful. Yuan Chu was afraid she accidentally hurt him!

Also, that moment of terror told her a hundred and one times that she was someone with a disciple; she had to change that risky style of behavior.

Meanwhile, Ye Chenyuan was quite happy he had finally cut off Zhou Daofu’s hand. Although he was a bit hurt, it was nothing.

“Master, I’m fine.”

“Ah? Good, it’s good you’re fine!” Yuan Chu was filled with guilt. She withdrew her hands, embarrassed.

She had wanted to use the talisman to exchange for Ye Chenyuan. That way, even if Zhou Daofu activated it, it wouldn’t hurt her disciple. But who knew he would be so evil? He deserved his hands cut off for wanting to take Ye Chenyuan with him!

If Zhou Daofu knew her thoughts, he would have spit blood! He was evil?! Her disciple was in his hands, yet she hadn’t hesitated to try to trick him with a fake talisman. She was the evil one, okay?

 Soon, Yuan Chu tied up Zhou Daofu. Amid his anguished wailing, the first to arrive was Tianhe Sect, who had received a call for help. This land was under their jurisdiction, but they understood there was nothing for them to do when they saw Zhou Daofu’s wretched state.

Yuan Chu patted her hands and said to them, “So it’s people from Tianhe Sect! It’s an honor, an honor! I’m from Myriad Sword Sect. I already sealed this old fellow’s dantian, so he can’t self-destruct, but he intentionally harmed many beauties. You guys at Tianhe Sect have to treat them like princesses, ‘kay?”

Smiling, Yuan Chu threw Zhou Daofu in front of the people from Tianhe Sect.

They were a couple of Core Formation cultivators; the Nascent Souls had yet to come.

The leader immediately bowed when he saw that Yuan Chu was a Nascent Soul.

“We’ve troubled you, Honored Sir. Please be assured, we’ll take this person back to the sect and wait for judgment!”

Yuan Chu nodded but didn’t leave. The people from Tianhe Sect were confused, their leader carefully asking, “Does Honored Sir have any commands?”

Yuan Chu smiled and rubbed her nose. “That, well it’s not quite a command, but since I caught a big baddie for you guys and saved Tianhe Sect a lot of trouble, shouldn’t you guys…” Shouldn’t you guys reciprocate a bit?

They understood, but how could they have anything on them that a Nascent Soul would want?

Once they were sweating with anxiety, Yuan Chu laughed and continued, “Of course, how could I ask for my juniors’ things? Though, I saw that the Zhou family has a pretty nice tree…”

The other person’s mind blanked, and he blurted out, “May you do as you please, Honored Sir! Not to mention a tree, if Honored Sir wants, you can come back to Tianhe Sect with us, and they will definitely reward you with food and drink!”

Yuan Chu immediately waved her hands. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m not greedy; I just like to pretend to be cultured, so I will be satisfied with just this tree. May we meet again if fate decrees!”
