Chapter 407: The Patriarch of Hell Has Woken Up!

“The Patriarch of Hell! When will you ever wake up if not now?!”

The green halo on the Patriarch of Hell was fading as soon as Ye Chen was done speaking. Finally, Ye Chen had joy on his rather exhausted face.

The halo had not vanished. Instead, the patriarch had absorbed it! That meant that Ye Chen’s Soul-brewing Pill worked.

A moment later, the halo on the Patriarch of Hell vanished completely. The patriarch that had been still suddenly moved.

Poot!

A stinky fart spread in the room!

Ye Chen’s face froze, and he waved to open the windows. He used the wind to blow the stink out of the room.

“Who was it? Which b*stard called me?!” a mumble came from the room, “Darn it, I was having fun with the bunch of ladies from the Propitious Star Albizia Sect. Which b*stard woke me up?!”

The Patriarch of Hell jumped up from the bed immediately. He looked around the room with killing intent filled his face, appearing pissed off.

His body froze when he saw Ye Chen. He used his claws to rub his eyes as if he had just seen a ghost. “Xiao Yezi?! That’s not right. Didn’t I already return to the Ashen Purple Planet and recovered my cultivation base? Didn’t I have 3,000 beauties in my harem? Why am I seeing you, you devil?!”

The patriarch had confusion on his face, and his dog hair stood up as he composed his messy memories. He nodded and bowed to Ye Chen immediately. “Oh, Master, it’s you!”

Ye Chen said wryly, “Are you done with your wet dream?”

If the Patriarch of Hell behaved like a pervert in the past, Ye Chen would have given him a slap without hesitation.

“Thank you for saving my life, Master!” The Patriarch of Hell jolted and bowed to him. There was faint warmth in his eyes.

He recalled many things such as the Ye family being attacked by the five half-step martial venerables from Shang Santian, Ye Wushuang choosing to buy them time by sacrificing himself, as well as the patriarch himself protecting the Ye family by exhausting his Divine Consciousness to elevate his level.

Back then, he thought he would definitely die. Never had he thought that Ye Chen would have revived him. How could he not be excited and moved by that?

“The Patriarch of Hell!” Ye Chen suddenly yelled in his deep voice.

The Patriarch of Hell was secretly stunned because he thought the devil was going to teach him a lesson again. He secretly thought of things to say to butter Ye Chen up.

However, what Ye Chen did next stunned him.

Ye Chen clasped his fists at him. “Thank you!”

The patriarch was dumbstruck!

‘Damn! This devil is thanking me? The sun must be rising in the west, or is this an illusion? Could this devil have done it on purpose? Is he messing with me? That’s right! That must be it! I won’t fall into his trap.’

Ye Chen had no idea what he was thinking about as he smiled lightly and said sincerely, “Thank you for saving my family. From now on, you will no longer be my slave. You don’t have to call me master. We’re fellows now!”

“What did you say?” The Patriarch of Hell thought he heard it wrong. When he realized that Ye Chen looked sincere, he suddenly rubbed his palms and said, “Well, can you not call me Cutie?!”

He hated that name. When he was in the coma, he had dreamt. He dreamed of returning to the cultivation world. He regained his status of the Patriarch of Hell, the overlord of the cultivation world. Many lady cultivators slept with him, but all of them called him Cutie.

The name was his nightmare!

“Sure, so what’s your real name?” Ye Chen nodded lightly.

The Patriarch of Hell blushed. He stammered as he spoke, “You can’t make fun of me if I tell you!”

“Of course!” Ye Chen smiled lightly.

“Well, my real name is Zhuang Qingchun...” the Patriarch of Hell rubbed his palms and spoke in hesitation.

Ye Chen raised his brows. “Pretending to be innocent[1]? This name doesn’t really match your flirtatious character!”

“It isn’t ‘pretending to be innocent’. It’s Zhuang Qingchun. The same ‘Zhuang’ like the philosopher Zhuang Zhou, ‘Qing’ as in clear and ‘chun’ as in fragrant.” The Patriarch of Hell’s hair stood up while watching Ye Chen’s expression. He knew that Ye Chen would have such a reaction.

After all, his name was just too cheesy. Anyone else would think of that when they heard his name. That was the reason why he was hesitant to reveal his name. Ultimately, his name was no better than Cutie.

“Sure!” Ye Chen smiled and went downstairs to take his daughter away from Su Yuhan. He retrieved a drop of blood from her middle finger. Then, he revoked the master and slave contract between her and the patriarch through a secret tactic.

The patriarch’s spirits were lifted the moment the contract was revoked. He instantly felt that he was no longer tied down, and he finally believed what Ye Chen said.

Ye Chen returned to the room and said to the patriarch while looking at him, “Fellow Zhuang, you’re free from now on. The world is vast, so you can go wherever you want under the premise that you won’t make me your enemy. You can come back to look for me when you’ve broken through to Foundation Building. I’ll carry out my promise, which is to help you look for a spirit transfer body and give you a human body.”

He decided to do this to repay the patriarch for sacrificing for his family. After all, humans were not plants. How could he not have feelings?

“Wait, Fellow Ye!” The Patriarch of Hell clasped his fists at Ye Chen in all seriousness and changed the subject, “I didn’t say I’m leaving.”

He was a dog now, so where would he go? Moreover, the Ye family treated him well. It would be foolish for him to leave before he recovered his human body.

“So, are you saying you want to stay?” Ye Chen was surprised.

“That’s right!” The patriarch nodded and said, “In this world, Fellow Ye, you’re the only person who speaks the same language as I do. Moreover, with your terrifying talent, I believe that I’ll recover faster from staying with you!”

He was clear about his intention: he wanted to follow Ye Chen! After all, he had witnessed Ye Chen’s compelling power.

A regular Spirit Assembly cultivator would have the combat strength on par with a Martial Dao master with a mediocre body at most. However, Ye Chen was the other way round. Forget the fact that his body was invincible, but he had also defeated all Martial Dao masters with his cultivation base that had yet to reach Foundation Building!

Ye Chen was such a great pillar! It would be dumb for the patriarch to not hold onto him tightly!

“Sure!” Ye Chen smiled calmly. “You may stay, but you should know what you must do. The grudge between us has been resolved, so we don’t owe each other now. You must work hard to gain benefits from me!”

“Doesn’t matter!” The Patriarch of Hell’s shrugged and smirked as he spoke, “Well, can you make me some food? I want Australian lobster, Boston lobster, and more king crabs. After that, I want to find a lady and do things to her.”

He did not even drink a drop of water for the couple of days he had been in a coma. Since he had yet to go fully into breatharianism, he was starving.

Ye Chen nodded and got Lin Tai to prepare those dishes.

The patriarch suddenly added, “Oh, right, can you add some dog food? I want the brand and flavor that I usually eat...”

[1] His name Zhuang Qingchun sounds exactly like ???, which means pretending to be innocent.
