I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character

Chapter 42: It’s Fine Even if You Beat Him to Death



Spiritual veins were opened when breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Normally, the number of spiritual veins a cultivator had would be finalized after the Foundation Establishment Realm, but there were actually some special methods that could be used to open the other spiritual veins.

Ye Yong didn’t linger and immediately set up a concealment formation and told Qin Shi Meng the special methods. As for why he had to get so close and whisper it with a concealment formation, well, it was because he was afraid that someone would read his lips. He definitely wouldn’t do something like taking advantage of the situation.

Qin Shi Meng’s mind was in turmoil, but she still memorized the methods that Ye Yong told her.

It was a pity that she was already in the Crystallization Realm- otherwise, she would have definitely chosen to recultivate like Ye Yong did to open all her spiritual veins while in the Foundation Establishment Realm and wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble.

Of course, she wouldn’t blame Ye Yong for not telling earlier. After all, with her previous prejudice against Ye Yong, there was no way that she would believe him. Rather, she was quite grateful that Ye Yong didn’t hold a grudge against her and even gave her the Crystallization Auxiliary Stone and the method to open spiritual veins despite her previous cold attitude towards him.

“Don’t worry, I will keep suitable materials for you once I find them.” Ye Yong wanted to whisper in Qin Shi Meng’s ears for a bit more, continue breathing in the scent from her body, and even bite her tempting earlobes.

Fortunately, with his divine physique’s support, Ye Yong was able to maintain his sanity. If he had given in to his temptations, Qin Shi Meng’s favorability would most certainly plummet, and even if they were still friends by then, they would most definitely not be able to whisper to each other like this.

Ye Yong understood the principle of haste makes waste. After he finished speaking, Ye Yong stepped back, clearly knowing his boundaries.

Qin Shi Meng was also relieved. Yes, her heart was beating extremely fast, but it wouldn’t stay that way the whole time as she hadn’t developed any love for Ye Yong. If Ye Yong had continued to stay close to her, she would feel repulsed by it even though she wouldn’t say anything about it. As such, Ye Yong’s approach was correct- it made her heart skip a beat and didn’t make her feel repulsed.

“Then I’ll thank you for your kindness in advance.” Qin Shi Meng didn’t want to just keep accepting Ye Yong’s help. She wanted to repay him, and even though there was nothing she could help him with right now, she still remembered his kindness in her heart so that she could one day repay him.

Ye Yong was very pleased to see that Qin Shi Meng’s favorability had increased by 6 more points. All I did was tease her a little and I got both favorability and transcend points. Is this really a cultivation? It’s not a galgame in disguise, is it?

Favorability 44, attitude [Worth Being Close Friends With].

A petite, bun-headed girl with a cute face appeared on the platform.

“Whose child is that? So cute.”

“You don’t know who she is? And you even called her a child? Do you want to die?”

The male cultivator who had spoken was currently being stared at by a bunch of people, and even the “little girl” on the platform was staring at him fiercely. This frightened him so much that he immediately bowed down to apologize. “I’m sorry!”

Only then did the “little girl” relax her face a bit. She didn’t pursue the matter any further, and if the male cultivator hadn’t apologized in time, he would probably already have been buried into the ground by the “little girl”.

Those who didn’t know who the “little girl” was whispered and asked those who knew.

Ye Yong was quite excited as he looked at the “little girl” on the platform. A new heroine! A legal loli too! No one would be able to guess that she was actually 21 years old just by looking at her. She was Liang Xiao Rou, an inner disciple of the Sword Pavilion Hall, with a cultivation at the 8th layer of the Crystallization Realm.

A cultivator at the 8th layer of the Crystallization Realm at the age of 21 could be considered a genius even in the Center State Continent. Her father, Liang Meng Chao, was a true, tough man in every way. In the middle part of the , when the 5 continents were in chaos, he led a group of hot-blooded cultivators to defend the border and died heroically while fighting the invasion of the demons.

Liang Xiao Rou cried when she heard about it, but this also made her more determined to walk the path of a cultivator, becoming feared by the demons as the Demon-Slaying Immortal Reverend. Wherever there were demons, she would appear to slaughter them. She had a small figure, but she stood on a mountain of demon corpses.

In the past, Ye Yong could only read the and imagine such a contrasting and spectacular scene, but now, he could see it with his own eyes! This was why he was excited! Not because Liang Xiao was a loli. Besides, she wasn’t even a true loli. Whenever she releases all of her strength, she would become a mature-looking woman, although she couldn’t maintain that state for too long.

Wait, isn’t this even better? Ye Yong was excited just thinking about it. He was talking about the scene of Liang Xiao Rou killing demons.

However, there weren’t any fortuitous encounters related to Liang Xiao Rou in the beginning parts of the , otherwise, Ye Yong would definitely prioritize joining the Sword Pavilion Hall with both her and Qin Shi Meng in it. However, because he had to capture another heroine in the Music and Artistic Hall, he could only give up on joining the Sword Pavilion Hall.

As the name suggested, the Music and Artistic Hall was a place where the cultivators practiced music and artistic techniques. It was completely unrelated to the sword cultivator that Ye Yong wanted to become. However, he didn’t have a choice if he wanted to capture more female leads and obtain transcend points.

“All of you! Listen!” Liang Xiao Rou put a hand on her waist and pointed at the people below with her other hand. She said in a cute voice, “Don’t think that you’re all disciples of the Heavenly Luo Sect just because you passed the assessment. If your cultivation increases too slowly within 5 years, you must pack your bags and scram! Only if you are still qualified after 5 years can you truly be considered a disciple of the Heavenly Luo Sect!”

Even though the Heavenly Luo Sect that Ye Yong joined was just a branch of the main sect, it still had about 60,000 people. Every 5 years, the number of people in the sect would decrease a little, and the newly recruited disciples would fill in the gaps. This way, the amount of people in the Heavenly Luo Sect remained about the same.

Why did the number of people in the Heavenly Luo Sect decrease every 5 years? Well, the Heavenly Luo Sect had a rule that those who couldn’t meet the requirements after 5 years had to leave, and on top of that, some cultivators would inevitably die while going out during missions. The Heavenly Luo Sect recruited around the same amount of disciples every time, just like most other sects. Otherwise, the sects would have easily become overcrowded.

This recruitment was an exception because of the secret realm, and the Heavenly Luo Sect recruited twice the amount of disciples that it normally would. That didn’t matter though, as time would tell whether or not worth keeping in the sect.

After saying a few other rules, Liang Xiao Rou left with a hmph. A middle-aged female cultivator then came out to tell the disciples that they had time to bid farewell to their families. They would board the flying ships from the Heavenly Luo Sect once they arrived.

Although joining the Heavenly Luo Sect didn’t mean that the cultivators couldn’t go home, some cultivators had homes that were very far away- some even came from other continents. The land in the Heavenly Luo Sect alone would require days to travel over, so ordinary cultivators wouldn’t really have a chance to visit their families much.

It was much more easier for the cultivators from the big cultivation families to visit their homes. All they had to do was send a message to their elders through the transmission stone, and the elders would send over someone with a cool ride to pick them up.

However, because cultivators meditate and cultivate a lot, time passes by quite quickly for them, so the young masters and young ladies of the big cultivation families normally visit their home once a year, while some don’t even go back to visit for decades.

“Yong Er, you gave such a pleasant surprise to us. Your grandparents, parents, and other elders will definitely be very happy when they hear about it,” the eldest grandfather, Ye Mao’s blood-related grandfather, said with tears in his eyes. The cultivation might not mean much, but a 7-colored foundation was truly amazing.

Although the Ye Family was amazing in the Greay Zhou Dynasty and even the East Forest Continent, they weren’t even worth mentioning in front of all the amazing existences in the Center State Continent. The Center State Continent was the place with the most amount of hidden families.

Now that Ye Yong was revealed to have unlimited potential and could become a Great Ascension Realm in the future, the Ye Family would truly stand out. Having lived for 1,200 years and with most of his lifespan depleted, the Eldest Grandfather was extremely excited just thinking about the possibility in the future. “If you encounter any troubles in cultivation, don’t worry and just ask us. We have enough resources.”

“Grandpa, what about me?” Ye Mao asked.

“I’ll feel relieved if you’re even half as amazing as Yong Er.”

“No, I mean, what about the resources for me?”

“Exchange for them yourself with the contribution points in the sect! Why did you think we made you join a sect otherwise? Don’t rely on the family for everything.”

Ye Mao wanted to cry. Are you Ye Yong’s grandfather or mine?

Eldest Grandfather said to Ye Yong, “Please help me take care of this loser. Feel free to beat him and teach him a lesson if he dares to cause any trouble as long as you don’t beat him to death.” After hesitating for a while, he added, “It’s okay even if you accidentally beat him to death.”

Ye Mao almost cried when he heard it. I’m also considered a genius for reaching the 6th layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm at the age of 20! How did I become a loser? Besides, I;m the older cousin here, not Ye Yong? And how come he’s allowed to beat me to death?

“Don’t worry, Eldest Grandpa, I’ll keep an eye on him,” Ye Yong said. He had already been thinking that. If you dare to cause trouble, even if I don’t beat you to death, I will still break your legs.

Ye Mao shivered upon seeing Ye Yong’s fierce gaze.
