Chinese Superman

Chapter 104 Mr. Ye Explodes on the Spot (10 Chapters, Seeking First Subscription!)

On the shores of the East China Sea, Mount Putuo and Luojia Mountain!

After its spiritual energy was restored, Putuoshan is no longer the ordinary island it once was.

The entire mountain was shrouded in a hazy Buddhist light, with sea mist spreading and a rich spiritual atmosphere. Faint chants could be heard, blending with the sound of the tide.

The ancient temples and palaces nestled in the mountains are resplendent in gold and green, their glazed tiles gleaming warmly in the moonlight.

The 33-meter-tall bronze statue of Guanyin in the South China Sea has a perfect halo appearing behind its head, radiating seven-colored glazed light. Its majestic appearance, holding a vase and willow branch, and its compassionate gaze seem to cover the entire island, adding to its sacred solemnity.

now.

Near Chaoyin Cave, there is a viewing platform.

Ye Honglang ruthlessly smashed the latest limited edition phone onto the bluestone slab, shattering the screen.

His pale face darkened with rage, contorted in fury, as he roared, "Mad dog? She called me a mad dog?! Gao Yuexi, that ungrateful slut! Crazy woman!"

His chest heaved violently, and resentment and unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

But in an instant, Ye Hong laughed maniacally again, slightly adjusting his expensive custom-made suit, and muttered to himself, "It doesn't matter—the imperial seal of the previous dynasty has already chosen me as its master, and I am blessed with good fortune. All relics of the previous dynasty are under my command. At that time, I will ask my grandfather to propose marriage to the Gao family. The marriage between the Ye and Gao families will be a done deal. Let's see how arrogant you are then!"

"The Empress's throne? Hah, giving it to you would be an honor!"

He licked his lips, a wicked smile on his face.

"The most beautiful woman in the world? I'll have to taste her!"

At that moment, two dazzling, bright white beams of light shone from not far away.

"I knew you'd refuse, so I even invited the eldest daughter of the Lu family beforehand, hehe—"

Ye Hong took a few deep breaths, trying to regain his composure as a young master from a prominent family, and turned to look at the car that had just arrived.

A woman stepped out of a car with an unassuming exterior but a luxurious interior.

That's Lu Jingshu, the eldest daughter of the Lu family.

She wore a plain white linen dress with a light blue gauze over it. Her long, black hair was loosely tied up with a single white jade hairpin, and a few strands of hair gently brushed against her cheeks in the wind.

Her appearance was exceptionally beautiful, with exquisite features and a gentle, serene temperament, like a white lotus under the moon, elegant and refined, yet not overtly charming.

Her calm eyes, occasionally flashing with intelligence, clearly indicated that she was no ordinary lady from a prominent family.

"Miss Lu."

Ye Hong forced a smile and greeted him.

Lu Jingshu bowed slightly in return, her voice gentle: "Young Master Ye, you are too kind."

Her gaze swept across the surroundings, gazing at the magnificent Putuo Mountain bathed in moonlight and shimmering with Buddhist light. She exclaimed in admiration, "The Buddhist Kingdom by the Sea, the Sacred Land of the South China Sea, truly possesses a myriad of magnificent sights. Compared to Wuyi Mountain, it is even more solemn and sacred. Once its spiritual energy is restored, this place will undoubtedly become the foremost sacred site in the entire land."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hong felt pleased and could not hide his smugness.

"Miss Lu has a good eye! Putuo is the sacred site of Guanyin, and has been a Buddhist country since ancient times."

"Now that the spiritual energy has been restored, the three major Zen temples—Puji, Fayu, and Huiji—are shining even brighter with Buddhist light. The Three Treasures Nine-Dragon Caisson Ceiling, the Willow Branch Guanyin Stele,..."

The Pagoda of Many Treasures is said to possess many mystical features, including three stone pillars, the character "heart," and two turtles listening to the Dharma, all subtly reflecting Zen principles. The twelve scenic spots, such as Lotus Ocean Crossing at Noon and Thousand-Step Golden Sands, are breathtakingly beautiful. How can these compare to those wild mountain areas known only for their strange pines and rocks?

Wilderness?

Lu Jingshu curled her lips, displeased, but her smile remained unchanged.

Ye Hong was completely unaware that he had said the wrong thing, and took the opportunity to step forward half a step, wanting to take Lu Jingshu's hand and lead the way.

"The moonlight is perfect tonight. How about I accompany Miss Lu to listen to the tides and watch the moon, and explore the area at our leisure?"

"It just so happens that the [Chaoyin Baotuo Li] has just produced the [Dinghui Wugou Fruit], which is a primordial celestial treasure. It would be a wonderful story for us to go and admire it together."

Lu Jingshu quietly tucked her hands into her sleeves, turned slightly to the side, and pointed towards the Chaoyin Cave not far away, just in time to avoid Ye Hong's touch.

"Listen, the sound of the sea tide in Chaoyin Cave blends with the chanting of Buddhist hymns; it is truly wondrous."

"Indeed mysterious."

Ye Hong, still harboring ulterior motives, tried to hold her hand again, but Lu Jingshu deftly dodged, continuing to change the subject: "Young Master Ye, when you mentioned the 'madwoman,' were you referring to Miss Gu Zhi Qiu, the [Golden Jade Sword Envoy]?"

Ye Hong's hand missed its mark, his expression stiffening slightly before he coldly snorted, "Gu Zhi Qiu? Just an ungrateful servant!"

"And Gao Yuexi—humph, all of them are so arrogant and self-important!"

"Unlike Miss Lu, who is so gentle and sensible, and knows how to appreciate true elegance."

He looked at Lu Jingshu with fervent eyes: "Actually, I feel in my heart that the Ye and Lu families are a match made in heaven!"

"Look, my Ye family possesses the innate celestial treasure, the [Fruit of Stillness and Wisdom], which can help people subdue their inner demons and attain the Great Innate Realm. Your Lu family possesses the rebirth celestial treasure, the [Three Talents Nourishing Dao Tea], which can cleanse the meridians and reshape the foundation. If the two are combined, their resources will complement each other, and a large number of Innate Realm experts can be cultivated in a short time. At that time, why should our two families fail to lead the world?"

He tried to get closer again, his tone ambiguous: "Jing Shu, my feelings for you are the only ones that are truly sincere. Gao Yuexi—she's just a bargaining chip for a family marriage."

She confessed her feelings to me privately, but I flatly rejected her!

"In my heart, there is only you—"

Lu Jingshu chuckled softly, her eyes sparkling, "Oh? Sister Gao actually confessed her feelings to Young Master Ye? I've never heard of that before~"

"However, the matter of marriage is decided by the elders of both families, and Jing Shu dares not make any comments. As for jointly cultivating experts—it is indeed a good idea, but it still needs to be considered carefully."

She skillfully steered the conversation back to the main topic: "By the way, didn't Young Master Ye say that the Chaoyin Baotuo Li fruit has ripened? Why don't we go and admire this rare delicacy first?"

Jing Shu was extremely curious about the fruit that could grant someone the power to "attain the Great Innate Realm in a single day."

Seeing that Lu Jingshu maintained a polite yet distant attitude, Ye Hong was secretly annoyed, but he couldn't show it, so he could only go along with her words: "Yes, yes, the precious medicine is important!"

"Miss Lu, please follow me. The Immaculate Fruit of Meditation and Wisdom resembles a white jade bodhi seed, radiating inner spiritual light. It just ripened tonight, a perfect opportunity for you to see it for yourself!"

He led Lu Jingshu toward the location of the Chaoyin Baotuo Li on the back mountain, boasting along the way about how the Ye family occupied Putuo Mountain, cultivated this spiritual root of heaven and earth, and made future plans.

It even includes the fact that he has already obtained the imperial seal of the previous dynasty and will surely become the number one family in the future.

Lu Jingshu listened quietly with a smile on her face, occasionally chiming in with a few words, but her mind was as clear as a mirror.

She could clearly see through Ye Hong's frivolous and shallow nature, his lustful and hypocritical nature.

However, the Lu family and the Ye family do indeed have a cooperative intention at present, and her trip was only on orders to make contact, so it was just a pretense.

"By the way, I wonder who Miss Lu admires?" Ye Hong asked after his boastful talk.

"There are indeed two people who admire me."

"Oh~ who is it?"

Ye Hong immediately became interested.

Lu Jingshu covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her face elegant, yet her beautiful eyes sparkling: "The first place naturally belongs to Young Master Ye Hong, and the second place belongs to Child Martial Ancestor."

"Childhood Martial Ancestor?"

"That extraterrestrial being is just a little brat!" Ye Hong waved his hand, sneering disdainfully. "He just got lucky and created a few martial arts styles."

"If you're so capable, then don't practice!"

Of course, Lu Jingshu only thought it to herself and did not openly refute Ye Hong's words.

Although both are daughters of wealthy families, Lu Jingshu and Gao Yuexi are completely different. Gao Yuexi yearns for freedom and is like a flower on a high mountain, while Lu Jingshu has long been shrewd and worldly-wise, and has developed a keen and insightful mind.

Not long after.

The two passed through the temple and arrived deep in the valley.

There stood a magnificent tree with an ancient and ethereal appearance, its round halo shrouded in splendor, growing quietly beneath the cliff face.

There is a natural stone platform under the tree, which is a place for offerings.

However, the tree was completely empty at that moment.

Not to mention the Dinghui Immaculate Fruit, which resembles a white jade bodhi and radiates spiritual light, even the few spiritual fruits that were originally on the tree are all gone!

The entire precious tree was bare, its branches bare, bathed in the cold moonlight, and it felt desolate.

"This spiritual root of heaven and earth is the Tide-Sound Treasure Tree. When the sea breeze blows, it emits bursts of sacred sounds, with a profound and lofty artistic conception. The celestial treasures it produces are called—called—"

"Concentration and wisdom—pure and undefiled—"

Ye Hong, who was giving his introduction, froze on his face with a smile.

Wait!

Am I seeing things?

Excessive indulgence?

He rubbed his eyes, took a few steps forward, almost pressed his face against the tree branch, and stared intently as he searched.

No.

There really is nothing there.

Not a single leaf is left!

"Where's the fruit?!"

Ye Hong's voice began to tremble. He turned abruptly and shouted at the Ye family guards following behind him, "Where are the guards?! Where is my Dinghui Immaculate Fruit?!"

The guards were also bewildered and terrified.

The people in charge of guarding this place were an elder and two guards, but they were nowhere to be seen!

"Young Master—we don't know either!"

"I saw Third Master meditating here earlier —"

"Find it! Find it for me!"

Enraged, Ye Hong kicked the stone platform.

"The Immaculate Fruit of Concentration and Wisdom is the key to this family's grand plan! Without it, how can I explain to the old man?! How can I explain to our partners?"

! "

He suddenly thought of something, and looked at Lu Jingshu with a start, his face turning pale and then red.

Lu Jingshu remained calm and composed, looking at the bare precious tree and then at Ye Hong, who seemed to have gone mad. A faint hint of mockery flashed in her beautiful eyes, but her face revealed just the right amount of surprise and regret: "This—it seems that Jingshu has come at an inopportune time."

"Has the precious treasure already been taken? Or perhaps—it hasn't even ripened yet?"

"Impossible! Tonight it was clearly—"

Before Ye Hong could finish speaking, his other emergency contact phone suddenly started vibrating wildly.

He irritably pulled out his phone to answer it.

A few seconds later, Ye Hong's face turned completely pale, and his hand holding the phone trembled violently, almost unable to hold it steady.

"Young Master—Young Master—Something terrible has happened!"

"The Nine Dragons Ceiling of Puji Temple is dim, as if it has been tampered with!"

"The caretaker of Fayu Temple reports that the [Willow Branch Guanyin Stele] shows signs of being touched!"

"And there are also strange things at Duobao Pagoda, Chaoyin Cave, and Fanyin Cave—many of these sacred sites! It's like—it's like someone has touched the whole of Mount Putuo right under our noses!" The voice on the other end of the phone was anxious.

Ye Hong was struck dumb, standing there stunned.

Almost simultaneously, a message came through the communication bracelet on Lu Jingshu's wrist.

With her back to Ye Hong, she clicked to view, her usually calm brows slightly furrowed.

An urgent message from Wuyishan: "The branches of the Jiuqu Danxia Paoxian tea plantation have been stolen; this year's new tea has been completely swept away, not a single leaf left!"

"The thief was extremely clever; the guards were completely unaware, and no clues were left behind. We don't know who did it!"

Lu Jingshu raised her hand and gently covered her slightly parted lips, her beautiful eyes revealing shock.

Something happened in Wuyishan too?

And it's tonight!

Coincidence?

Gang-related crime?

It's important to understand that Wuyishan and Putuoshan are not just a few hundred or a few thousand meters apart. Judging from the time difference, the theft in Wuyishan occurred at most ten or twenty minutes earlier than in Putuoshan.

She looked up at Ye Hong, who was now in a fit of rage, then glanced at the desolate, bare tree, and a ridiculous thought suddenly popped into her head:

Could it be—that there's more than one?

It's impossible for thieves to only target the Lu and Ye families.

That's so mean, it's not fair!

But stealing from eight great families in one night is impossible; it's practically a fantasy.

First of all, who would dare to offend all eight great families at once?

It seems they don't want to stay in Xia Kingdom anymore!

Most importantly, the ruins of the restoration controlled by the eight great families are scattered all over the Xia Kingdom, from north to south. Who could possibly travel all of them in one night?
