Chapter 247 - 221: Entering the Demon Beast Mountain Range
The night deepened, silencing the world as the moonlight shimmered like water.
It was quite late when the banquet finally slowly dispersed. Ye Chen didn’t reveal much about the matters on Trial Road, but according to his clan, he had already dominated Trial Road.
What an astonishing achievement it was. Trial Road gathered almost all the young geniuses of the entire Tiandu Continent for a feast of talents, and standing out was no small feat—fewer than a hundred did—but Ye Chen had conquered Trial Road and swept through it invincibly, showcasing his formidable strength.
But then, recalling that he could even slay a Martial God, everyone felt relieved again.
Everyone knew that in this generation, the Ye Family had produced an unparalleled prodigy who was destined to propel the humble Ye Family forward and perhaps one day it would become another super force that dominated the Tiandu Continent.
As the night deepened, after the banquet, Xia Wei, who hadn’t seen Ye Chen for a full year and was filled with longing, wouldn’t allow Ye Chen to refuse, pulled him directly into the house to talk for a long time before letting him out.
Ye Chen sat on the eaves of his courtyard. Although a year had passed, the courtyard was often cleaned and neither dust accumulated nor changes were made; his parents had instructed that everything be maintained as it was, making it a forbidden land that couldn’t be entered at will.
He took out a pot of fragrant fine wine, drinking alone under the moonlight in silence. Elder Yan, who often chattered, didn’t come out to disturb him, as if he understood his mood.
Suddenly, a sweet fragrance approached, accompanied by a charming and graceful figure that came to sit next to him. With beautiful eyes unwaveringly gazing at him, she remained silent. Ye Chen turned his head and smiled gently, tenderly stroking the soft hair of the visitor, showing a close intimacy: "Zimei, you’re here too."
The visitor was Ye Zimei. After more than a year, the girl had grown even more graceful. Although just past her sixteenth year and barely an adult by standard, her beauty was beginning to show—a blend of allure and innocence.
Give it a few more years, and Ye Chen believed she would become a stunning national beauty.
