Chapter 474 The Feeling of Falling in Love

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The cultivators widened their eyes and looked at Li Ye excitedly. For a moment, they all held their breath and made no sound, for fear that Li Ye would be scared to death.

As the cultivators watched, Li Ye twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled with difficulty. “You’re all right, so I’m relieved. Ahem…”

The cultivators were stunned.

They didn’t expect that the “seriously injured” hero’s first sentence would be this! All the cultivators were so moved that their eyes were red. However, these words were exactly in line with the hero’s identity.

“Wow!”

A female cultivator suddenly shouted. She covered her mouth and cried out loud.

Then, cries came one after another, which were particularly moving in the night of the forest.

They looked at Li Ye, distracted.

When the cultivators were attacked by the fierce beasts and suffered heavy casualties, this man came forward bravely. He killed groups of fierce beasts and gathered all the cultivators together. For the cultivators’ safety, he went deep into the group of beasts alone and fought bloodily. With his own strength, he shared a considerable part of pressure for the cultivators.

Even the most powerful cultivator would run out of Spiritual Qi in such a fierce battle.

His appearance covered in blood and his caring smile made him holy and noble.

Who would not be moved?

“The hero is not dead!”

“Hero Li is still alive. As I said, such a person would not be killed by the fierce beasts!”

Unlike the female cultivators, the male cultivators burst into a thunderous cheer and quickly ran to surround Li Ye, shouting all kinds of praises. They would have thrown Li Ye into the air if they hadn’t been worried that he was badly injured.

Seeing the cultivators’ crazy behavior, the proprietress couldn’t bear to look at them, covering her eyes, and Duchess smiled so hard that her eyes curved into crescent moons. Anyway, Duchess was sincerely happy that Li Ye was worshiped by everyone. Hong Xiu and Qi Potian joined the group of cultivators who worshipped him.

Looking at the excited cultivators, Li Ye felt that everyone was extremely cute.

Li Ye felt that it was the right time to make hay while the sun shone, so he pretended to cough. He said to the cultivators in a weak voice, “We are all heroes. You fought a bloody battle and repelled the fierce beasts that were several times more than us. Such an achievement is enough to make every cultivator proud! The fierce beasts have retreated, but there are several thousand bodies in the forest. Their fur, blood, and bones are rare treasures and the necessities to refine Dan Pills and magic tools. Now it’s time for you to reap the spoils…”

At this point, Li Ye deliberately paused to give the cultivators with fiery eyes some time to react. Then he continued to act. “Ahem, I, ahem… Everybody… Ahem…”

“Don’t say anything, Hero Li! If you didn’t save us from the fierce beasts at the risk of your life, we would be killed by them, and we wouldn’t have the chance to reap the spoils. We are lucky to be alive now. The fierce beasts’ bodies should be yours, and we can’t take any of them!”

It was the bearded man in his prime who was talking. His cultivation was at Level 9 of Qi-refining. He looked righteous at this moment.

Li Ye’s eyes lit up when he heard this. This was exactly what he wanted to hear.

Although the fierce beasts were not high grade, they were not ordinary. After all, many of them had the strength of the Spiritual Master Realm. The key was that there were many of them. If Li Ye collected all of them, he would definitely make a big fortune. Even if they were exchanged into Magic Treasures, they would enhance the Luke Sword a lot.

Li Ye couldn’t help but look at the bearded cultivator. He was very satisfied that he was so sensible. Such a clever cultivator must have a promising future. He must accept him as his own use and cultivate him well.

In fact, he saved these cultivators because he wanted the fierce beasts besides establishing fame. After all, when someone helped you, you should repay him. Now that Li Ye saved their lives, they shouldn’t compete with Li Ye for the fierce beasts.

If Li Ye didn’t save them, he had to take great effort to kill the several thousand fierce beasts, and it would be very difficult to collect them. After all, it was inconvenient to move in the forest. If he wasted too much time, he would have to run away once the situation in the sky changed.

Li Ye was happy in his heart, but he looked serious. “What are you talking about? Did I save you for the fierce beasts?”

Seeing Li Ye’s reaction, all the cultivators felt ashamed, and at the same time, they admired Li Ye more. It was rare for a person to have such a sharp sense of integrity.

The bearded cultivator was stunned at first, but then he became more serious than Li Ye. “Hero Li, you saved us because of your kindness. Of course, we know that you expect no return or treasure! But we have consciences. We survived because of you, but you almost died in the battle! If you don’t want these fierce beasts now, you’re looking down on us. How can we still have faces to live in the world? Please don’t refuse us, Hero Li!”

The bearded cultivator’s words immediately aroused all cultivators’ resonance, and they shouted one after another.

“Hero Li, you’re righteous, and we’re not ungrateful!”

“Yes, we have consciences, too!”

“Hero Li, you deserve the fierce beasts!”

“My life belongs to Hero Li, so the fierce beasts are nothing!”

Looking at the excited cultivators, Li Ye looked very tangled. He hesitated and said, “This… Alas, this…”

The bearded cultivator waved his big hand. “Everybody, don’t stand still. Hero Li is seriously injured and needs to be taken care of. Let’s help Hero Li collect the treasures on the fierce beasts. Don’t let Hero Li be tired again!”

The cultivators agreed in unison and scattered around without hesitation, rushing to the fierce beasts’ bodies. They were in high spirits.

Li Ye sat down on the trunk and looked at the busy cultivators. He sighed with emotion in his heart. “They are good people and good demons. I’m moved. No, I want to cry. I want to cry…”

A quarter of the 2,000 cultivators were killed by the fierce beasts, and they suffered heavy casualties. If it were in normal times, they would have lost their morale. But now they worked together to pick up the treasures on the fierce beasts for Li Ye. They were full of energy and didn’t feel sad at all.

For the cultivators, there was light in their hearts and hope in their eyes.

Duchess came to Li Ye and clenched her little fists. Her little face was full of admiration. “Elder Brother Ye, you’re awesome!”

Of course, she knew Li Ye’s intention, so when she saw the cultivators who were willing to go through fire and water for Li Ye, she admired Li Ye more. How could a normal person win over so many cultivators in such a short time?

Hong Xiu’s eyes sparkled as she stared at Li Ye. She looked proud and thought to herself, “This is my hero. He’s extraordinary.” Her eyes grew hot as she looked at Li Ye, like two burning fires.

Qi Potian looked at Li Ye with admiration and fell into deep self-doubt. His outlook on life, world outlook, and values were being challenged at this moment and about to be overturned.

He also wanted to be respected and praised by the cultivators, like Li Ye.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t always boast that he was the butcher of Blackstone Ridge and an elder of a famous group of cultivators. He boasted because he was afraid of being looked down upon by others, and he wanted to get others’ recognition.

“I was stupid, selfish, and mean. I only knew to calculate the small profits all day long, but I didn’t know that no pain, no gain! If I can be as generous and righteous as Brother Li, I will be admired by others.” Qi Potian had sudden enlightenment in his heart, and his eyes gradually became firm.

When he looked at Li Ye again, he looked like seeing his life coach.

Looking at the busy cultivators, the proprietress twitched her eyes. When she saw Li Ye’s weak but righteous look, she gnashed her teeth secretly and thought, “How shameless! I have lived for several hundred years, but I have never seen such a shameless person… He is so shameless that he can help the demon clan achieve the big plan!”

The proprietress had lived for several hundred years, so she had a rich experience. Unlike Duchess’ full support for Li Ye and Hong Xiu’s simple yearning for her Mr. Right, she knew what kind of person could help the demon clan achieve the big plan in the current situation.

From Panfeng City to Blackstone Ridge, Li Ye was despicable and shameless when he put on an act. He was righteous when he cheated the demons out of Magic Treasures and cultivators. He was decisive when he dealt with the demon tiger and the demon bear. All this made her full of expectations for the future.

She really wanted to know how many changes this man could bring to the demon clan and how he walked out a magnificent way.

With this in mind, when the proprietress looked at Li Ye, her heart suddenly beat faster for no reason. Her heart thumped with a chaotic rhythm for a while. The proprietress stood stunned at once.

“This… Oh, no! It’s the feeling of falling in love!”

The proprietress had already decided not to have expectations for Li Ye, but she couldn’t control her heartbeat now. She was shocked, and panic spread from her heart to her face.

A while later, the sparrow fluttered its wings and flew down from the treetop. In front of Li Ye, it said excitedly, “The battle situation is clear. The fierce beasts in the sky will be repelled in about an hour later! Should I inform You Daxiao to bring people here? If he joins the battle now, we can end the battle!”

Li Ye thought for a moment and rejected the sparrow’s proposal. Since the situation was clear, it was not necessary for You Daxiao and the other demons to appear. This was not the best opportunity.

Before long, the cultivators in the forest finished breaking up the fierce beasts. They took off the treasures and put them in the storage bags. Then they handed them to Li Ye together. Because there were so many things, there were several storage bags.

Li Ye pretended to refuse and then accepted the treasures. He roughly estimated that there were about 4,000 fierce beasts’ bodies and that a quarter of them were in the Spiritual Master Realm. If he exchanged all the treasures for Magic Treasures, he could exchange for more than 200 low-ranking Magic Treasures.

“It’s said that a horse can’t be fat without a night meal, and a man can’t be rich without a windfall. A battle brings a fortune.” Li Ye was very happy.

This was only the fierce beasts that attacked the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage. Then how much were the fierce beasts in the sky worth?

As it turned out, Li Ye thought a bit too much. Not many fierce beasts were killed in the sky. The fierce beasts retreated in the end because it was already light. They seemed to have received some kind of command that they chose to retreat before they suffered too many casualties.

Li Ye, Duchess, Miss Hong Xiu, and the others flew to the treetops. When they saw the fierce beasts retreating in force, they all felt a little strange.

The proprietress said bluntly, “This battle is very unusual. The fierce beasts have never ambushed cultivators before. Especially in the case of small casualties, they would never retreat. They are ferocious and bloodthirsty. They won’t stop until they die.”

Li Ye had already discovered the anomaly, and now when he heard what the proprietress said, he was more convinced of this.

But he didn’t know that the anomaly of this beast tide was whether because of the Macaque King’s involvement or the other unknown reasons.
