I Just Want to Live Well, but I Surpassed the Protagonist – 30 Still Poisonous

By the time Wu Xue woke up, it was already evening.

She still clearly remembered what had happened before.

That was when the young master kissed her.

If it was when she had just become Ye Yong’s maid, Wu Xue would definitely have been very afraid and wouldn’t have dared to resist. But now? She only felt joy and sweetness, but when she thought about how she was just a maid with no status or strength, that bit of joy and sweetness faded a lot.

“Awake?” At this moment, Ye Yong came into her room with dinner.

“Young master! How could you do such a thing!” Wu Xue hurriedly got up.

“Alright, I said that you’re my person. It’s normal for me to do something for you.” Ye Yong sat by the bed and looked at Wu Xue, who was shyly lowering her head. “How’s your body?”

“Much better.”

“Oh really? Why do I feel that your body is burning up?” Ye Yong deliberately reached out to lift Wu Xue’s chin, his fingers gently touching her cheek.

The fever got worse.

Ye Yong could see that Wu Xue’s eyes were filled with tears. It wasn’t grievance, but shyness that made her want to cry. “Young master, please don’t tease me.”

In fact, Ye Yong really wanted to kiss her again, but he thought that if she fainted again later, it would delay his cultivation.

The little cutie was very cute, but he needed strength to protect her, and she also needed strength to protect herself. He would take her to the Tianluo Sect later. The competition within the sect was very intense. Even as the villain ‘Ye Yong ‘, he still had opponents and enemies.

“Eat. After you’re done eating, cultivate according to what I said.”

“Yes.” Wu Xue nodded obediently.

Ye Yong sat by the bed like this, watching her eat with small bites, paying great attention to her manners.

After Wu Xue finished eating, Ye Yong told her the important points to note and prepared to go into seclusion. However, before he entered the seclusion room, Wu Xue grabbed his clothes. “Young master, how many days will you be in seclusion for?”

“The Tianluo Sect’s assessment will start in 8 days. I estimate that I’ll need to go into seclusion for 7 days to try and adjust my condition to the best.” In fact, Ye Yong wanted to try his best to break through to the Crystallization Period and act cool with Qin Shimeng.

“That means I won’t see you for 7 days. I, I want… I want to hug you. Can I?” Wu Xue was a maid, so logically speaking, she shouldn’t be able to make requests to her master, but she couldn’t suppress her emotions.

“Of course you can. In the future, you don’t need to ask for my permission. You can come and hug me yourself.” Ye Yong gently hugged the thin and weak girl.

Speaking of which, Wu Xue’s experience was miserable enough. She had been weak and sickly since she was young, becoming a burden to her family. After she grew up, her mother disappeared, and her uncle despised her, selling her like a commodity. If it had followed the plot of the novel, she would have been beaten up by ‘Ye Yong’ for a period of time, making her physically and mentally exhausted every day.

Fortunately, before the plot of the novel could develop, Ye Yong appeared. Not only did he not treat her as a servant, he even doted on her and spoiled her, so it was not strange for her to rely on Ye Yong and act spoiled (spoiled) with him as if he was someone close to her.

“No one will be able to bully you in the future with me around.” Ye Yong said softly.

“Mm.” Wu Xue hugged Ye Yong’s waist with some trepidation. Sensing that Ye Yong didn’t dislike it, she carefully leaned her head on his chest.

Wu Xue hadn’t felt such a sense of peace of mind in a long time.

Favorability +2.

She’s such an easily satisfied person.

“I should go cultivate.” After a while, Ye Yong let go of Wu Xue. Wu Xue also reluctantly retracted her hand. She lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to look at Ye Yong. “Yes.”

———

5 days later.

“Tenth level of Foundation Establishment! At this rate of consuming top-grade spirit pills, even a pig could take off.” Ye Yong sighed. ” However, in the novel, it seems that piling up pills is not recommended for the Foundation Establishment stage, so most Foundation Establishment cultivators are taking things slowly and steadily.”

Taking out the crystal assistant stone, Ye Yong prepared to crystallize.

The development of the situation was not as he wished, but it was not beyond his expectations.

“Bang!” The spiritual vein expanded once more, Foundation Establishment Level 11!

“This is toxic…” Ye Yong was helpless.

He wanted to crystallize! Crystallize! Who would care about someone at Foundation Establishment Level 11? Was this something to show off?

“It seems like the limelight will be stolen by Qin Shimeng.” Ye Yong sighed again. “Forget it, let’s just increase my cultivation. Ignoring other factors, assuming that my combat strength increases by one point for every level increase, Qi Condensation Level 20 should be equivalent to Foundation Establishment Level 5 or 6. Then, Foundation Establishment Level 20 should be equivalent to Crystallization Level 4 or 5, right? Plus, I have eight spiritual veins, and my spiritual energy far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators. That means that even though I’m only at Foundation Establishment Level 11, I have the strength of a Crystallization Level 1 cultivator?”

Although the spiritual energy of a Foundation Establishment Level 11 cultivator was still spiritual energy and not compressed spiritual crystals, the amount of spiritual energy stored was not as much as a Crystallization Level 2 or 3 cultivator. However, as long as Ye Yong entered the Crystallization Stage, a large amount of spiritual energy would condense into spiritual crystals, and he might become invincible. With dozens of spiritual crystals, he would be able to single-handedly challenge a Crystallization Level 10 cultivator at Crystallization Level 1.

However, he had never reached that realm, so Ye Yong was not sure what would happen.

His only worry was that by the time he reached Crystallization Level 10, everyone else would have started to achieve the Golden Core Stage, while he would still be struggling to continue Crystallizing at Level 11 or 12, advancing slower than others. Although he could fight above his level, in the world of cultivation, people usually looked at cultivation level first. Those with lower cultivation levels would be looked down upon.

“Huh, come to think of it, I’m playing the pig to eat the tiger.” Ye Yong quickly comforted himself and found a reason.

“There are still two days left. I’ll try to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment Level 11 or break through to Level 12.”

———

Two more days passed, and Ye Yong came out of seclusion. In two days, he had circulated his divine technique, absorbed spiritual energy, and took crazy amounts of pills to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment Level 11, almost reaching Level 12. It was an unprecedented realm.

The gap between each major realm was vast. No matter how awesome a Foundation Establishment Level 10 cultivator was, it would be very difficult for them to defeat a Crystallization Level 1 cultivator unless they had a protagonist’s halo.

But Ye Yong didn’t have a protagonist’s halo, he had a cheat. Even though he was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he dared to fight a Crystallization Level 2 cultivator.

In addition to having sufficient spiritual energy, the speed at which his automatic cultivation techniques improved also increased significantly as his cultivation level increased.

What Five Tigers Fist and Cold Iron Palm? They had already reached the realm of perfection.

In two months, he had reached the realm of perfection in 38 Profound Level martial techniques. Who else could do that? Not even a protagonist.

But Ye Yong didn’t rush anything. To unleash the partial power of a Profound Level technique, one needed to at least reach the Golden Core Stage. At the Nascent Soul Stage, one could unleash about half of its power, and at the Spirit Transformation Stage, most of its power. To unleash its full power, one needed to reach the Void Refinement Stage.

Profound Level techniques were the top-tier techniques in the lower realm for a reason. Each one could cause a bloody storm.

But the Primordial Chaos Divine Technique was linked to Ye Yong’s current Primordial Chaos Body. The stronger the divine technique, the stronger his physique. Although he couldn’t use the power of chaos yet, he would be able to start using it once he reached the second level.

The power of chaos was an extremely powerful existence, feared even by immortals. It was a type of divine power. At that time, forget about the Crystallization Stage, even if a Golden Core cultivator came, Ye Yong would still be able to fight.

Of course, the power of chaos was extremely rare. Everyone wanted to obtain it, and if they couldn’t, they would destroy it. Therefore, Ye Yong had to keep it a secret like a protagonist’s trump card. He would never use it unless he had no other choice. Otherwise, once someone discovered it and spread the news, Ye Yong would be in danger.
