Chapter 263: Abnormal Behavior
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This sentence alone was enough to make Ye Chen feel a chill run down his spine. It was as if a pair of eyes were staring at him from the depths of the abyss.
Luo Yuntian had once said that there were only two ways to activate a tombstone. The first was that he had to become strong enough to make the ancient expert within it feel that he was qualified enough to activate it. The second was that he had to do something that received that ancient expert’s acknowledgement.
It seemed that the second method was in play at the moment, as it was clearly the illusory blood dragon and his Slaughter Dao that had incited a reaction from the third tombstone.
However, the light from the tombstone was too faint, so it was not possible to activate it yet. He could only wait.
At the very least, the initial trigger requirement had been met. Ye Chen had already seen how powerful Chen Qingcang was, so he knew that the expert within this tombstone was definitely a terrifying existence. Furthermore, this expert seemed to specialize in the Slaughter Dao.
Ye Chen snapped back to reality when the car arrived to pick him up.
Lei Shuwei was also inside.
“You handle this. 1’11 head back.”
While Ye Chen was in the car, he received a call from Sun Yi.
Over the past few days, Heavenly Justice Group’s products had been launched in Jiangnan Province, and a new round of product sales was about to begin.
This time, the products would be put on sale in several first-tier cities other than Jiangnan Province, including Capital City, Shang City, Shen City, Chuan City, and so on.
Of course, Capital City and Jiangnan Province were the most important. As such Sun Yi informed him that she was working overtime, and told him and Xia Ruoxue not to wait for her.
Ye Chen naturally did not have much of an opinion on this, but when he returned to the villa, he realized that Xia Ruoxue was not there either.
Was he going to have to eat dinner alone?
He had originally planned to cook those rare ancient delicacies for them to eat, but now it seemed that he would have to wait a few days.
At this moment, Ye Chen’s phone lit up. To his surprise, it was a message from Xia Ruoxue.
“I bought two movie tickets. Are you free in an hour?”
Ye Chen’s expression turned strange.
A movie? What was she thinking?
This was not her style at all. If she was inviting him to a banquet, it would be understandable.
While he was pondering the matter, she sent him a follow-up message.
“Just treat it as fulfilling a small wish of mine.”
Ye Chen thought about it briefly, and in the end did not refuse.
Half an hour later, Jiangnan Province’s Jinyi Cinema.
A beautiful figure appeared at the entrance of the cinema, who naturally attracted looks of admiration from the surrounding people.
Xia Ruoxue had dressed up meticulously. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and there was a pearl hair clip tying it together. She was wearing a tight, off-shoulder chiffon top, and she looked both alluring and elegant.
She was also wearing a pair of light blue skinny jeans and a pair of black casual shoes. However, her gaze remained cold, which kept certain parties at a distance.
That being said, it did not stop everyone, as a number of brave souls took the initiative to approach her and introduce themselves.
However, Xia Ruoxue only responded coldly and curtly. After a while, the potential suitors stopped trying. However, many hovered nearby, wanting to see who she was waiting for.
Not long after, Jordan appeared at the entrance of the theater in casual attire. Just as he was about to call Xia Ruoxue, a sweet voice rang out.
“Ye Chen, over here!”
Turning his head, he saw Xia Ruoxue waving her hand in the air, and when he saw her outfit, he was stunned.
She was jaw-droppingly beautiful.
Xia Ruoxue saw that Ye Chen was in a daze and smiled. She walked over and held Ye Chen’s hand.
“The tickets have been checked. Let’s go in.”
“Alright…”
Ye Chen and Xia Ruoxue walked toward the ticket gate.
“d.a.m.n it! She actually has a boyfriend! How unlucky!”
“Although that kid looks okay, he’s obviously not as handsome as me! The world isn’t fair!”
“Did that guy save the world in his previous life or something?”
Various comments were flying around from the onlookers out of jealousy. However, there was nothing they could do about it.
Hall 2.
The movie was a romantic comedy.
However, Ye Chen was not in the mood to watch a movie at all. He turned his head and looked at Xia Ruoxue, who was occasionally laughing and smiling.
He could feel her tight grip on his hand.
It was as if she was afraid that he would break free.
What was wrong with this girl?
It was as if she had become a different person today. Sensing Ye Chen’s gaze, Xia Ruoxue turned her head and met his gaze.
“What’s wrong? Don’t I look good today?”
Ye Chen shook his head.
“You look very good. It’s just that your behavior is a little strange. Although this is normal for ordinary girls, it’s not for you..”
