Hard Work gone to waste

Yang Tian continued to stare at Chu Yuechan. His facial expression was utterly emotionless; Chu Yuechan couldn't guess what he was thinking.

"This matter had escalated for no reason. You can go away now." Yang Tian said with a surprisingly soft voice.

Chu Yuechan was somewhat shocked upon hearing his soft voice and was thankful. He wasn't holding a grudge against her!

This was good! It meant that her sect wouldn't face a tragedy!

Just as she was about to fly away quickly, Yang Tian spoke out, "Do not forget about our earlier deal. Also, instead of 1 month. You need to protect me 2 months from now on."

The deal that Yang Tian was referring to was naturally the one in which Chu Yuechan would have to protect Yang Tian within the Wasteland of Death.

His words made her even more grateful. She immediately nodded her head and replied to him with a fearful tone, "I will do what I have said…"

After saying that, she was gone.

At that moment, Yang Tian heard Jasmine's sound resound within his head, "You… Why did you let her go so easily?! Did you fall for her or something?"

Her voice already showed that she was in a foul mood.

To this, Yang Tian spoke with an utterly calm voice, "The strength is truth in this world. A naïve person like me had forgotten that. She used her cultivation base to crush me and wanted me to do what she wanted. You used your strength to break her. The reason I was humiliated by her was that I am weak. My cultivation base is weaker than her."

Jasmine kept on listening to Yang Tian's words. This time, he wasn't using the Spiritual Pulse. He was speaking with his mouth. She could feel the emotion within his voice. Rage… It was anger which held the promise to destroy everything around him!

"The reason I stopped you wasn't because I was saving her. It was because I wanted to take my revenge with my own hands." He said to Jasmine with a hint of calmness in his words.

Before Jasmine could ask him anything, he continued, "Since she wanted to suppress me with her cultivation base and felt that whatever she was doing was right. She can't blame me when the tables have turned."

"And how would you do that? Are you saying that you are going to get to the Emperor Profound Realm? Even with your speed of cultivation, you would need nearly 2-3 years to reach the Emperor Profound Realm," Jasmine said to Yang Tian, a little curious if this was what he meant.

"That is indeed one option, but I can't wait for so long. I don't have such good patience…" Yang Tian said with a brutal look on his face.

"… I will show her despair. Such despair that she would want to die! And as she is thinking of dying, I will 'save' her before pushing her in the fucking abyss even deeper!" Yang Tian seemed to have made a promise.

"Nobody… And I mean, nobody messes with me and thinks they can get away with it!" As Yang Tian finished speaking, Jasmine remained silent for a short period.

She asked him soon enough, "What are you planning to do?" She was truly curious about his plans.

"You don't need to think much about it. You will naturally know of it when the time comes." Yang Tian didn't give a clear reply and instead asked her, "What of the poison within your body? You used a lot of power right now…"

"…"

"Speak now!"

"6 months of hard work has gone to waste…" Jasmine said with a hint of helplessness in her voice.

Yang Tian clenched his fists as he heard her words. He couldn't blame Jasmine for using her power right now; the situation was truly dire. If Jasmine hadn't appeared, he would have asked her to come out since Chu Yuechan really didn't plan on giving up at that time.

He blamed that on Chu Yuechan as well.

Jasmine's recovery was already slow since this was just a single part of the Sky Poison Pearl out of two. He needed the other part from the Azure Cloud Continent before it could fuse with its other part and increase the detoxification rate of Jasmine's poison.

At this rate, he could ask for Jasmine's assistance only a limited number of times. He needed to give her even more time…

While he was lost in his thoughts, Yang Tian heard Jasmine's voice again, "Do you know, I was furious when I heard that you were letting her go. I remembered how you didn't even hesitate to kill me when I threatened you, but you were unexpectedly letting her off the hook. It really disappointed me…"

Yang Tian shook his head and replied her straight away, "I cannot truly be ruthless to you because you are Xisu's sister. At that time, when I heard you threaten me, I could only threaten you back with your life. I couldn't use any schemes or be even more ruthless to you… But, Chu Yuechan is different. I had no relation with her before this. I also gave her an unexpected boon. However, she still made a move against me. She should expect no mercy from me when I drown her in the sea of despair!"

"Mhm… Ok." Jasmine said she was somewhat satisfied with his response. She was also curious about how he planned on bringing down that woman with his own strength.

"Alright… Go to sleep for 2 more months. This time, seal your strength. That should accelerate the detoxification a little…" Yang Tian instructed her with a sigh.

Jasmine nodded her head and soon sealed her strength and went into a deep sleep.

Yang Tian's eyes flickered for a brief moment before he returned to the house. He still had to recover from those internal injuries.

Xia Yuanba returned soon enough. He went to see Yang Tian in his room and inform him that he had brought all those things. He was startled to see some blood leaking out of Yang Tian's mouth.

"What happened, Brother Tian?!" He was truly anxious to see Yang Tian in such an appearance.

"I-it's nothing. I just need to rest a little. I absorbed more ice profound energy than my body could handle." Yang Tian said with a weak smile.

"…Brother Tian…" Just from seeing that face, Xia Yuanba could deduce that Yang Tian was lying to him. Something significant must have happened that he wasn't telling him.

"…I will get stronger…" This thought continued to linger in his mind as he walked to his room and cultivated.

As Yang Tian stared at Xia Yuanba's retreating body, he thought 'This is still not enough… He needs an even greater motivation to become stronger.'
