Chapter 978: Chapter 982 Various Exclamations

“There’s only one bed… What do we do now?”

Looking at the exquisite wooden bed, Guo Man said awkwardly.

“I think we can make do.”

Xia Liu’s expression was extraordinarily serious, as if he was enduring some great sacrifice.

“Oh, oh, in that case, you sleep on the floor.”

Guo Man also replied seriously.

“Haha, just kidding! I’ll ask Boss Ye to arrange a firewood shed for me.”

“Hehe, I was joking too. We’ve already established our relationship; sleeping together is just a matter of time, so…”

As she reached the end of her sentence, Guo Man stuck out her tongue at Xia Liu, unable to continue.

Hmm?

Xia Liu was slightly startled. Looking at the playful and adorable Guo Man, a strong desire surged in him.

The urge to lean down and kiss this cute little girl.

But he held back.

Now, at this critical juncture, he couldn’t act impulsively.

Not to mention that time was running out—Ye Xuan had Divine Sense. If she perceived it, it would be downright embarrassing.

Moreover, he had promised that he wouldn’t solve this issue for her, and he had resolved not to progress their relationship until that point.

Stubborn or not, once he made his decision, he wouldn’t easily change his mind.

“When you can cultivate, I’ll make my move. No need to rush.”

Xia Liu’s lips curled up slightly, a devilish glint flashing in his eyes.

“Pfft! What do you mean? I don’t have that kind of thought! How can you be so dirty!”

Guo Man didn’t expect Xia Liu to reject her.

Him saying this—wasn’t he pushing her into a pit of fire? She wasn’t anxious! She didn’t desire him at all!

“Haha, just joking. Miss Guo Man, don’t be mad.”

“Who’s your ‘Miss’? You’re older than me, aren’t you? Who knows if you’re some old demon who’s lived for hundreds of years.”

Remembering the Age Halting Fruit incident, coupled with Xia Liu’s identity as a cultivator, Guo Man became more convinced that Xia Liu was some long-standing old monster.

“Pfft! I have a birth certificate, okay? When we return, I’ll show it to you—proving I’m alive and full of youthful energy!”

Xia Liu laughed. If he were hundreds of years old, he’d have ascended by now.

“Oh, oh, but those things can be forged. Who knows if yours is real.”

Guo Man rolled her eyes. This guy dared to frame her, so she had to get back at him!

“Alright then, I originally thought I’d wait until after this mission to ‘hee-hee’ with you. But now I feel the time is right!”

“Ah! You better not mess around. This is the Ye Family’s territory; there are lots of people…”

Guo Man was terrified. If Xia Liu succeeded, doing such a thing in broad daylight would be mortifying.

“Haha, just joking. Pack up; we’re getting ready to head out.”

After a cheerful laugh, Xia Liu stepped outside. Seeing how scared Guo Man was, he felt reassured.

Going up against him? This girl was still a little lacking.

After waiting at the door for ten minutes, Guo Man finally exited the room, looking reserved.

Though her cheeks still had a slight blush, she had recovered significantly from earlier.

Xia Liu simultaneously used Divine Consciousness Sound Transmission to communicate with Ye Xuan.

The time had come for him to face Ye Wuya, who had long resided in the Bamboo Sea!

“Xia Liu, try to keep a low profile later. There are a lot of Ye Family members gathered before the Bamboo Sea, and Senior Ye Wuya could be observing in secret.”

Upon seeing Xia Liu, Ye Xuan reminded him immediately.

“Got it. This is Ye Family territory; I wouldn’t dare go against the rules here.”

Xia Liu understood this well.

Ye Wuya was, ultimately, a Ye Family member. He certainly wouldn’t like to see any of his clan—even those with ill intent—being bullied by outsiders.

Xia Liu hadn’t planned on bullying anyone anyway. After all, the cultivation of those people was far too weak.

Bullying them would be pointless and beneath his dignity.

“In that case, let’s set off.”

Ye Xuan wasn’t meeting Xia Liu for the first time. This guy knew how to endure and speak wisely.

Even Guo Man, normally cold and distant, had been brought back to his place. This time, he was sure to be fine as well.

After walking with Ye Xuan for half an hour, Xia Liu and the group finally arrived at the back mountain.

Ahead stood a massive stele, engraved with numerous names.

Ye Guichen, Ye Luo, Ye Mo, Ye Fan…

As well as many bearing other surnames.

This stele seemed like a symbol. To inscribe one’s name on it was undoubtedly an honor!

“The names recorded on this Monument of Names belong to clan members and Warrior Realm powerhouses who successfully passed through the Bamboo Sea Sword Array over the generations.”

“So these individuals are those who passed through the Sword Array…”

Xia Liu carefully scanned the names, finding only a mere dozen or so. Ye Wuya’s name was among them, ranking tenth.

It seemed the top ten on the list were all powerhouses from 300 years ago.

After the top ten, the names became sparse, with Ye Hai listed at the very bottom.

“Yes, plenty of warriors have challenged the Ye Family’s Bamboo Sea Sword Array over the years, but very few have successfully passed through. Even Ye Min is making his third attempt now…”

“His third?”

Xia Liu was a bit taken aback. To have tried three times without succeeding—Ye Min was truly something else…

As Xia Liu gazed ahead, Ye Family Martial Artists outside the Bamboo Sea began to look over at him.

“Is that young man the new Heavenly Mansion Chief?”

“Oh my god! He’s so young!”

“Damn! Terrifying—he looks about the same age as me.”

“Holy crap, does he really have Path-Entering Peak cultivation?”

“Wow! How did he cultivate to have such terrifying power at such a young age?”

“Unbelievable. So the rumors are true! The new Heavenly Mansion Chief is a guy in his twenties!”

“Wow! He’s so handsome!!!”

“Ye Mei! Don’t drool over him! Look at the woman beside him—she’s breathtakingly stunning.”

…

As Xia Liu appeared along with his companions, the Ye Family’s younger members were immediately stunned.

It wasn’t just his identity or cultivation—it was his incredible youthfulness that caught their attention.

When they first heard tales of Xia Liu, they had all reacted with disbelief.

How could there be a Path-Entering expert only in his twenties anywhere in the world?

Now, seeing him in person, they realized the legends were true. This Heavenly Mansion Chief, Xia Liu, was indeed incredibly young!

“Heh, everyone, don’t be surprised. A youthful appearance and high cultivation don’t necessarily mean he can pass through the Bamboo Sea Sword Array.”

Seeing the crowd’s clamor over Xia Liu, Ye Yuan said with a cold laugh.

“Exactly. Even if his cultivation is strong, the Bamboo Sea Sword Array isn’t something ordinary warriors can pass through.”

“Right! If the esteemed Heavenly Mansion Chief fails to pass, then those rumors wouldn’t seem all that impressive after all.”

“Haha! Suddenly, I really want to see the Heavenly Mansion Chief challenge the array. Wonder how many minutes he can last?”

“Normal Earth-Rank Warriors can last three minutes. Heaven-Rank Warriors ten minutes. Path-Entering Martial Artists twenty minutes. I estimate the Heavenly Mansion Chief Xia Liu can last twenty minutes.”

“I agree. If you’re unfamiliar with the Bamboo Sea Sword Array, lasting twenty minutes might actually be difficult.”

“If he doesn’t even last twenty minutes, then wouldn’t the title of Heavenly Mansion Chief be…”
