An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad - Chapter 32

Chapter 32 — Senior, you don’t want to be found by the Soul Cult cultivators, right!

Ye Yuxiao left the room, leaving only Yang Chen and Empress Yan behind.

“Senior Empress Yan, as Yan’er’s stepfather, I am very grateful to you for always protecting him! This way, his mother and I can worry less!”

Empress Yan’s eyebrows furrowed tightly.

At this moment, she had no intention of listening to Yang Chen constantly emphasizing the objective fact that he and Lin Yan were stepfather and stepson.

Her focus was all on Yang Chen’s words.

Inform the Blood Blade Sect of what happened here! Why would this kid say that? Could it be that he knows there are Soul Cult cultivators among the Blood Blade Sect’s cultivators!? However, the Soul Cult is a very secretive organization. Even though the Soul Cult has infiltrated the Northern Spirit Realm. It’s not something he should’ve known!

Empress Yan stared at Yang Chen intently. Trying to discern some clues.

“Senior Empress Yan, why have you been staring at me? Could it be that you think I’m quite handsome? Do you like my looks? Are you Interested?”

A smile appeared at the corner of Yang Chen’s lips.

“You, insolent! What nonsense are you talking about?”

Empress Yan was suddenly stunned.

There was a moment of panic and anger in her heart.

Because whether in her lifetime or in her current state as a soul. No one dared to speak to her in this tone with such words.

“Yang Chen, this seat asks you, what did you mean by that just now?”

Empress Yan thought for a moment and asked.

“What do you mean?”

A smile crept up on his face.

“Senior Empress Yan should be clearer and better with your words than someone like me!”

“You!” Empress Yan furrowed her brows.

This kid isn’t as simple as he seems on the surface. He’s quite tricky.

At this point, Yang Chen walked to Empress Yan’s side, close to her, and gave her a sidelong glance.

Although Empress Yan was just a soul shadow, she was very lifelike, her enchanting figure fully on display. From a horizontal perspective, it was unusually towering.

“What are you looking at? Stay away from this seat!”

Empress Yan noticed Yang Chen’s movements, immediately reprimanded, and quickly stepped back. Her beautiful eyes stared at Yang Chen with anger.

She, Empress Yan, a great powerhouse of the world, a great fire cultivator.

This kid actually dared to be so frivolous towards her! He’s truly seeking death!

Empress Yan wanted to slap Yang Chen to death. But she held back. Because of what Yang Chen had just said.

It made her hesitate.

He gave her another smile.

“Senior Empress Yan, actually, the main reason I asked you to come over was to ask for your help!”

“Hmph, asking this seat for help? You, the Xuantian Saint Son, also have a Protector in the Soul Transformation realm. What help can this seat offer you?” Empress Yan’s tone was somewhat cold. She now had a very poor impression of Yang Chen.

Yang Chen smiled, then looked towards the Red Cloud Mountains outside of Red Cloud City, and said: “Only Senior can help me grant this favour! To show my sincerity, I can tell Senior Empress Yan that the treasure in the Red Cloud Mountains is not just any treasure, but a Primordial Fire nurtured by heaven and earth!”

“What!?”

Hearing this, Empress Yan was stunned. This kid actually knew that the treasure in the Red Cloud Mountains was Primordial Fire!

Seeing her shocked expression, Yang Chen’s mouth curved slightly, and he continued: “I can also tell Senior Empress Yan that this Primordial Fire is named Green Lotus Heavenly Flame! It’s ranked 58th on the list of Primordial Fires!”

“Green Lotus Heavenly Flame!?” Empress Yan was completely stunned.

Her beautiful eyes looked at Yang Chen full of surprise.

How did this kid know?

The reason she could sense the aura of the Primordial Fire was because she already possessed a Primordial Fire herself, and she was a great fire cultivator who had practiced for tens of thousands of years, extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of flames. And she was confident that in the entire Northern Spiritual Realm, only she could sense it.

Even the head of the Xuantian Sect, such a giant of the Northern Spiritual Realm, could only perceive that it was a Primordial treasure being born.

But this kid.

Actually knew it was a Primordial Fire. And not only that, he also said what kind of Primordial Fire it was. Even she could only sense that it was a Primordial Fire, but she was not sure which kind!

Yang Chen continued to talk nonsense: “Senior Empress Yan must be very curious, right? In fact, I obtained an inheritance! This Primordial Fire is nurtured by the power of heaven and earth under the control of the inheritor! And, the inheritance I obtained also requires this Primordial Fire to be fully activated!”

Yang Chen fabricated and gave himself a reason.

“I see!”

But Empress Yan believed him. After all, only this explanation could convince her.

“Senior, what I want you to help me with is to ask you to retrieve the Primordial Fire and give it to me!”

Upon hearing Yang Chen’s words, Empress Yan was stunned.

Retrieve the Primordial Fire and give it to him? What about Yan’er? Yan’er also wants this Primordial Fire!

Moreover, thinking of the disrespectful look he had just given her, Empress Yan felt a surge of anger.

“Impossible!” Empress Yan directly and decisively refused.

However, Yang Chen had already guessed that she would refuse.

After all, Lin Yan, his junior brother, also wanted it!

“Senior Empress Yan, the inheritance I obtained is special and cannot be separated from that Primordial Fire! So, this Primordial Fire is something that I must have!”

“Hmph!” Empress Yan snorted coldly. A hint of disdain flashed across her enchanting face.

“The birth of a Primordial Fire occurs at location that has the hottest temperature between heaven and earth! Not to mention you, even Nascent Soul and Soul Formation cultivators find it difficult to approach!”

“What Senior Empress Yan said is true!” Yang Chen nodded in agreement.

“Which is why I sought Senior Empress Yan’s help! I think, Senior Empress Yan also doesn’t want the Soul Cult cultivators to know about your existence, right?!”
