Genius Daddy in the City Chapter 786 - I’ve Fallen for You!

Chapter 786: I’ve Fallen for You!

After Ye Chen put away the things in his hands and removed the barrier outside the room, he said while frowning, “Come in!”
Creak!
The door was pushed open gently. Mu Caiwei, who was dressed in a plain dress, walked in slowly. She had broken through to the venerable stage after consuming the Golden Dragon Pill that Ye Chen gave her.
Perhaps it was the increase in her strength that made her seem more elegant and otherworldly. Coupled with her weak and pretentiously cold temperament, she gave people the urge to take care of her like a goddess who had been banished to the mortal world.
Sensing Ye Chen’s gaze, Mu Caiwei felt a little scared and nervous. She walked in quietly like a kitten and said with a blushed face, “Young Master Shi, sorry to disturb you so late at night. Please forgive me…”
Ye Chen smiled lightly. He said while smiling after sensing the change in her aura, “You broke through?”
“Mm…”
Mu Caiwei nodded lightly and said in a soft voice, “All thanks to Young Master Shi. If it wasn’t for your Golden Dragon Pill, perhaps I would’ve needed another year to break through to the venerable stage.”
She clenched her fists after saying that. Suddenly, she mustered her courage and stared at Ye Chen’s rather ordinary facial features with her beautiful eyes. She said hesitantly, “You’re leaving tomorrow?”
Ye Chen was stunned at first. He then nodded and said, “That’s right. I’ve been out for a while now. My family must be worried about me…”
Mu Caiwei lowered her pretty face when she heard that. She seemed a little sad, but she quickly forced a smile and said, “Young master was being hunted down previously. Even though you’ve achieved the Emperor Stage, you still have to be careful along the way.”
At that moment, she had no idea that her expression was like a wife telling her husband to go on a long journey. Under the light, her gentle and charming smile made Ye Chen lose his focus.
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, he felt a fragrant breeze hitting him suddenly. When he snapped back to reality, he realized that the beauty was already standing close to him.
Before Ye Chen could react, her pretty face turned red. She bit her red lips lightly with her pearly white teeth. Then, she tiptoed quietly. Her soft red lips carried an infatuated heat as she tapped Ye Chen’s lips quickly like a dragonfly touching the water.
Although the touch was extremely short, it left a lasting aftertaste in Ye Chen’s mind. When she wanted to run away, he reached out to grab her slender waist by instinct. At that moment, her weak and soft body stiffened slightly.
Under the flickering red candles, their eyes met, and their hearts beat at the same rate.
Eventually, it was Mu Caiwei who took a deep breath in and said in a barely audible voice, “What if I say that I have f-fallen for you?”
Ye Chen froze when he heard that. He then retracted his hand and took two steps back. He said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I won’t stay for you!”
Mu Caiwei’s face, which was as red as blood, turned slightly pale. She held back her tears and turned to leave. A faint voice followed, “I’m willing to wait for you…”
After watching her leave, Ye Chen could not help but stare blankly at the hand that held her earlier. He said with a bitter smile, “You’re leaving. Why can’t you control yourself?
“This is just great. I gave her an empty hope…”
…
He did not sleep the entire night. The next morning, Ye Chen walked out of his room after tidying up. King Mu had already gathered all the members of the King Mu Fort and waited outside quietly.
After Ye Chen walked out, he took a good look at everyone. His gaze finally stopped on Mu Caiwei for a few seconds. However, he noticed that her eye bags were heavy, as if she had not slept well the whole night. She lowered her pretty face immediately after noticing his gaze.
Jiu’er could not stop crying, her face full of reluctance.
King Mu stood up and said, “Senior Shi, everyone knows that you’re leaving, so they volunteered to send you on your last journey to repay the great kindness you’ve shown us!”
Plop!
As a loud noise was heard, everyone knelt on one knee and said to Ye Chen in great sadness, “We’ll send the young master off!”
“We’ll send the young master off!”
“We’ll send the young master off!”
“…”
Ye Chen was happy to leave. However, he felt sad after what they did. He took a deep breath in and said while smiling, “There’s no need for that, everyone. We’ll meet again if we’re fated!
“In the future when I’m not around, all of you must remember not to use my name as you wish, or you’ll definitely bring about a fatal disaster!”
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly made a grabbing motion towards the purple bamboo forest outside the King Mu Fort. Under everyone’s dumbfounded gazes, the purple bamboo forest that was close to 50 square meters shrunk rapidly, turning into a dazzling longsword!
Ye Chen lifted his head and looked at Mu Caiwei, “Lend me a drop of blood!”
Mu Caiwei was stunned at first. She then bit her finger and a drop of blood shot at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen extended his hand to catch it. He flicked his finger and merged it into the longsword. With a thought, over ten precious refining materials shot out from his storage ring.
“Condense!”
With a wave of his sleeve, he integrated the longsword and a dozen or so weapon refinement materials into one. In the end, he tossed the longsword towards King Mu and said in a deep voice, “This sword contains a trace of my divine might. It’s like the full force strike of a martial emperor. It can be used three times, and it can only be activated by the bloodline of the people of the King Mu Fort. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, you shouldn’t use it simply. Remember this!”
“A full force strike like a martial emperor?”
Hearing this, King Mu was first stunned, then he excitedly accepted it, “Thank you, Senior Shi. I will definitely follow your instructions!”
“You guys may leave. Jiu’er, send me off!”
Ye Chen waved and walked far away. Jiu’er, who was crying hard, wiped her tears and followed him immediately. She said as she walked, “Young Master, can you not leave? J-Jiu’er doesn’t want you to leave!”
Ye Chen only turned around to look at her after he walked a kilometer away. He did not know whether to laugh or cry, “As the saying goes, ‘All good things must come to an end’. Why are you crying?”
Jiu’er opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
“Don’t speak, and don’t move!”
Ye Chen said and tapped the space between her brows, “Focus and feel what’s in your mind!”
Jiu’er immediately did as she was told. One must say that transmitting memories was no different from torture to ordinary people, but this girl did not make a single sound.
After he was done, Ye Chen looked at her pale face and said, “Take your time to digest what I’ve given you. You can’t pass it on to anyone else, not even your fort master. If you can reach Foundation Building, we might meet again!”
After saying that, he took out a few bottles of medicinal pills and handed them to her, “These medicinal pills are for you too. You’ll have to depend on yourself in the future!”
Ever since he came to the Ancient Desolate Realm, Jiu’er was the person closest to him. Ye Chen was the most worried about the 15-year-old girl. After discovering that she had three spiritual roots, he decided to teach her cultivation techniques.
Jiu’er nodded immediately. She had also realized how important the thing that Ye Chen had passed to her was. She said after hesitating for a while, “Young Master, c-can I tell the young mistress about this?”
“Sure!
“I’m leaving!”
As soon as he said that, Ye Chen disappeared from where he was. Jiu’er started crying again, feeling extremely sad, “Young master, I haven’t even said it yet. Jiu’er l-likes you too…”
…
All the people in the King Mu Fort had already retreated. Only two figures remained standing where they were, staring into the distance in a daze.
King Mu took a deep breath in before turning to look at Mu Caiwei beside him with an extremely pained expression, “A-Aren’t you going to send him off?”
“So what if I did? So what if I didn’t?”
Mu Caiwei’s body trembled slightly upon hearing this, and she bit her lips with a stubborn expression, “Perhaps we’re not from the same world…”
“Sigh…”
King Mu sighed softly.
Right at this moment, an exquisite figure swiftly ran over from afar, “Young mistress! Young mistress!”
Mu Caiwei forced a smile and said, “He left?”
“Young master has left!”
Jiu’er nodded while panting heavily, and then she said in an extremely serious manner, “But Young Master told me before he left that he wanted you to wait for him for three years. He’ll definitely come back and marry you in three years!”
King Mu immediately exclaimed, “What?”
Mu Caiwei was first stunned, and then a wisp of blush instantly surged onto her jade-like face. She glared fiercely at her, “Bad girl! How dare you lie to me!”
“I’m not lying to you!”
Jiu’er’s small face fell. She immediately said with incomparable grievance, “Young master really said that. He said that he was embarrassed to say it in front of you. Otherwise, why would he ask me to send him off alone?”
Mu Caiwei’s pretty face was flushed red. She had completely lost her usual cool and cleverness. She looked at her with slight apprehension, “Really?”
“Yeah!
“Young master also said that you should wash up and wait for him!”
Jiu’er nodded immediately and took out the bottles of medicinal pills that Ye Chen gave her, “Young master said that he doesn’t have anything valuable, so he asked me to give these to you as a betrothal gift!”
King Mu took them and opened them. His expression changed drastically, “Grade-4 medicinal pills, these are medicinal pills. Senior Shi, no, that son-in-law of mine is really generous!”
