He Just Wanted to Live a Good Life but Surpassed the Protagonist – 21 The Door to a New World

Ye Yong was resting in the gazebo, making tea.

Although time passed especially quickly when cultivating in seclusion, as a modern young man, Ye Yong felt a little bored after more than 10 days.

No mobile phone, no internet, this life was hard to endure.

If it weren’t for the cute little maid to pinch her face and tease her, Ye Yong would have thought that cultivating was meaningless.

Because Ye Yong was good to her and didn’t act like the rumors said he would, the little maid, Wu Xue, no longer had any of her previous defensiveness. Her favorability was also rising rapidly. In the past few days , it had unknowingly reached 30, and her attitude was now [Worship].

Favorability increased, and the reversal points increased. It could be said that both sides were happy.

Although Ye Yong didn’t calculate how many reversal points each favorability increase gave him, ever since Wu Xue’s favorability turned positive, each increase in favorability would give him hundreds of reversal points. Now, Ye Yong had more than 10,000 reversal points .

Ye Yong exchanged a few thousand of these reversal points for two Heaven-grade sword techniques and then hung up the background to practice. Although he didn’t have a mobile phone or internet to pass the time, his quality of life was still very high .

‘Ding~ You have blocked the protagonist’s minor opportunity and his first meeting with Qin Shimeng. You have obtained 43,000 reversal points.’ Ye Yong, who was drinking spirit tea, suddenly heard the system prompt.

“What’s the situation? What opportunity did I block the protagonist from? How did I block his first meeting with Qin Shimeng?” Ye Yong was confused. In the past two weeks, he had been gathering energy every day and had never left the house or met Qin Shimeng.

Besides, with Qin Shimeng’s personality, it was impossible for Ye Yong to hinder her movements.

Did the system have a bug?

If that was the case, I hope there would be more of these bugs. That way, he would have enough reversal points to exchange for immortal pills. After eating them, he could directly become an immortal, becoming invincible in the lower realm. By then, he could even kill Long Tian. Ye Yong didn’t believe it. If he really became an immortal now, who could protect Long Tian, who was still in his infancy?

However, the immortal pills needed tens of millions of reversal points, and the Immortal Emperor pills needed hundreds of millions. Ye Yong could only YY for a while. It was impossible for him to accumulate enough reversal points.

First of all, to continuously snatch the protagonist’s opportunities and women, he needed his own strength to keep up. And to improve his own strength, he had to spend reversal points to buy resources.

It was impossible to save them. At least in the early stages, spending was necessary.

According to the temperament of those systems, Ye Yong felt that by the time he had enough reversal points to exchange for an immortal pill, he would have already become an immortal.

“Young Master, Miss Qin requests to see you. Shall I invite her in?” The little maid Wu Xue ran into the courtyard with little broken steps.

“She’s here?” Ye Yong was truly puzzled. According to the original novel’s plot, shouldn’t she meet the protagonist Long Tian at Lingyou Mountain?

Ye Yong clearly remembered that Qin Shimeng was stuck at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage and needed Spirit Energy Grass. And Qin Shimeng only brought one Crystallization Seventh Layer subordinate with her, while the rest were at the Foundation Establishment stage. They encountered a Crystallization Eighth Layer Savage Snake, and they either died or were injured. Qin Shimeng wanted to avenge her subordinates and didn’t leave immediately. As a result, she happened to meet the protagonist Long Tian, who was entering the mountain to collect herbs.

Long Tian initially threw out a beast repellent, giving the Crystallization Seventh Layer cultivator an opportunity to kill the Savage Snake. Unfortunately, that Crystallization cultivator had used up a lot of spiritual power protecting the young lady and the other Foundation Establishment cultivators, and failed to pierce the Savage Snake’s heart on the first try, only breaking through its scale armor defense. After a great battle, it was Long Tian who seized the opportunity, using an ordinary long saber to pierce through the broken defense and stab the Savage Snake’s heart, finally finishing it off.

This was how Long Tian and Qin Shimeng met.

The little unaffiliated cultivator was both intelligent and brave, leaving a very good impression on Qin Shimeng. He also gave two stalks of Spirit Energy Grass to Long Tian and even gave him some of the Savage Snake’s blood.

The Savage Snake’s blood could strengthen the physique, and the Spirit Energy Grass could enhance cultivation. These were both very useful to Long Tian, who was still in his infancy.

Now that Qin Shimeng had come looking for him, who would she meet at Lingyou Mountain with Long Tian? Or rather, why had Qin Shimeng not gone to Lingyou Mountain but had come looking for him instead?

While Ye Yong was puzzled, Wu Xue had already brought Qin Shimeng in.

Because Wu Xue felt that the young master had once liked Miss Qin so much, even if the two of them really owed each other nothing, they could still be friends. In fact, this was not the first time Qin Shimeng had come to find Ye Yong; she had already come three times in the past two weeks, but each time, Ye Yong was in closed-door cultivation, so she chatted for a while with Wu Xue and returned.

Today, Ye Yong was not cultivating, so she happened to catch him at the right time.

Seeing Ye Yong again, Qin Shimeng had an indescribable feeling. It was as if this man was very unfamiliar. He was completely different from the impression she had of him.

Although his appearance had not changed, his gaze and temperament were completely different, as if he were another person. Two weeks ago, when Ye Yong came to break off the engagement, Qin Shimeng had this feeling when she saw him, but now it was even stronger.

“Sit.” After training his divine body, Ye Yong’s self-control had obviously improved a lot. He would not have wild thoughts just because he saw Qin Shimeng’s beauty.

He stood up very politely and watched Qin Shimeng take a seat.

Qin Shimeng also bowed politely to Ye Yong and gave a small salute.

“What’s wrong? Is there something you need me for?” Ye Yong poured Qin Shimeng a cup of spirit tea. Now, his mind was full of questions. Why would Qin Shimeng come looking for him instead of meeting Long Tian at Lingyou Mountain?

“I heard that you abolished (feichu) your cultivation…” Qin Shimeng observed Ye Yong and found that he was no different from a mortal, without a trace of cultivation. And she was now at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment stage . In two weeks, she had gone from the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage to the seventh level. This progress shocked the Qin family. They had originally complained about Qin Shimeng breaking off the engagement, but now they were much quieter.

“Yes, you don’t have to take it to heart. That was my own decision. I plan to start cultivating again.” Because he was still in the Qi Refining stage, Ye Yong could not sense Qin Shimeng’s exact realm, but he could see that she had broken through: “How is your cultivation now?”

“Thanks to you, I’m at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment stage.”

“That’s the result of your own hard work. How is it thanks to me?” Ye Yong smiled.

If one did not look at Ye Yong with prejudice, then he was truly very handsome. His features were distinct, his appearance was graceful and handsome, and his smile was particularly heartwarming. However, the difficulty of conquering Qin Shimeng was obviously much higher than That of the cute Wu Xue, and Ye Yong’s previous impression on her had been too poor, so she did not have any special feelings.

“If you hadn’t given me that miraculous cultivation method, I wouldn’t have been able to break through so smoothly.”

“So, this is the result of your own hard work. A suitable cultivation method for a suitable person. I merely pushed you in the right direction.”

“You’ve become much more modest.” Although she did not have any good feelings (haogan) for Ye Yong for the time being, the feeling he gave Qin Shimeng was no longer as hypocritical as before. At least Ye Yong’s words made her feel quite sincere.

“People always change. I heard that there seems to be Spirit Energy Grass on Lingyou Mountain…”

“Yes, I did hear about it a few days ago. What, do you need it? If you need it, I can send someone to help you get it.”

Although Spirit Energy Grass was not a rare spiritual herb, it would be bought up very quickly whenever it appeared on the market. Although large families had stockpiles, the Qin family had originally planned for Qin Shimeng to rely on the Ye family, so they had not provided her with these at all. With Qin Shimeng’s personality, she would not ask her family for them, so she chose to go and collect them herself.

“I don’t need it.” Ye Yong shook his head. He suddenly understood why Qin Shimeng had not met Long Tian. Because he had given Qin Shimeng the heart method in advance, Qin Shimeng, who had originally been stuck at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage and needed Spirit Energy Grass to break through, now had the heart method, so she could break through directly and did not need Spirit Energy Grass at all. Therefore, she did not go to Lingyou Mountain.

F*ck, so it could be like this?

Ye Yong felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.
