Chapter 115: You Keep Going, I Won't Speak

Feigning solemn nonsense, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but admire his own talent—how could he conjure such absurd tales? And yet, the effect was remarkable. Just look at the adoring glances from these little fangirls; Ye Qiu was thoroughly satisfied.

“Hmm, not bad, not bad. No wonder they say, ‘A man without shame is invincible under heaven.’ Well, I’ve already reached invincibility...” Ye Qiu chuckled inwardly, ready to spin more tales. “You see, at that time, the situation was nothing short of tragic and heroic. Fortunately, I descended from the heavens, turning the tide and saving all from doom, successfully repelling the Immortals...”

“Exalted senior!” The fangirls screamed enthusiastically, utterly believing every word.

Even the Skydevourer Sparrow standing nearby was stunned. “Damn, that works? No way! If I hadn’t been there, I might’ve believed it...” The Sparrow was impressed by Ye Qiu’s audacity—his lies told without a hint of shame or hesitation were a skill in themselves.

After hearing a few sentences, the Sparrow almost doubted what it had seen earlier. Was it possible that Ye Qiu’s version was the truth? But then again, did Ye Qiu truly appear so majestic and heroic back then?

“No, no, this guy’s talent for bluffing is just too powerful. I have to learn a few tricks. Look at these fangirls’ adoring eyes—if I master this, I’ll surely fulfill my grand dream of marrying the Peacock Clan’s little princess...” The Sparrow decided to memorize every word and expression Ye Qiu used, planning to try it out in a few days.

“Senior, so what happened next? After the Immortals were driven back, what came afterward?” The others were eager to hear more, pressing for details.

Ye Qiu took a calm sip of tea, exuding an air of unshakable composure. “Well, after that...” Suddenly, his eyes flicked to the doorway, where a striking white figure stood, staring at him in disbelief.

It was Yue Chan.

The atmosphere turned awkward immediately. Ye Qiu looked guilty and stopped midsentence.

“Damn, why did she come back now? This is bad, bad. I finally got a few fangirls to buy my story, and now she’s going to expose me, isn’t she?” Ye Qiu’s heart tightened, forcing a crooked smile. “Why are you back? Couldn’t you give me a heads-up...?”

Yue Chan said nothing, still stunned by what she had just overheard. She was caught in self-doubt. Was this really the Ye Qiu she knew?

“This guy...” She was rendered speechless.

“Go on, I won’t interrupt...” she finally said.

“Uh, haha... I don’t know what you mean!” Ye Qiu laughed awkwardly. It was so embarrassing—just as he was bragging, he got caught.

“You were so eager just now! Keep going...” Yue Chan said meaningfully, making Ye Qiu’s heart skip a beat. Was she out to get him?

With an unblinking calm, Ye Qiu replied, “I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about. Am I the kind to brag? Do I look like one?”

At this, Cao He and the Skydevourer Sparrow silently nodded, itching to say, “You don’t look like it—you are that kind of person...” But when they met Ye Qiu’s cold glare, they quickly shut up.

Yue Chan was embarrassed. She never accused him of lying, so why was he confessing like this?

Though baffled, she didn’t expose Ye Qiu’s bluff. She needed time to process—after all, she had been genuinely surprised. In her mind, Ye Qiu had always been a mature, refined scholar. Who would’ve thought he was such a master of tall tales?

Reflecting on their first meeting, Yue Chan relaxed. Well, this talent for nonsense seemed to have been with him since childhood. After all, he had built his reputation on trickery and deceit—it wasn’t surprising.

“Oh, maybe I misheard? Never mind, go on, I won’t interrupt...” Yue Chan smiled playfully. She enjoyed watching Ye Qiu get flustered; it brought her inexplicable joy.

Ye Qiu hesitated, feeling uneasy. “Alright, let’s stop here for today. I’ll tell you more when there’s a chance...” He couldn’t continue boasting. His carefully crafted heroic image couldn’t be shattered by Yue Chan.

After all, Yue Chan had witnessed everything in the Chaos Heaven firsthand. Nothing was as exaggerated as Ye Qiu claimed. Hundreds of mortal deities? Heaven forbid—if that were true, the Great Wilderness would have long been wiped out.

“You can’t lie like that; you scared me for a moment...” Yue Chan was speechless, rolling her eyes at Ye Qiu before gracefully moving aside to rest.

As soon as she entered, the young girls flocked to her, leaving Ye Qiu feeling a pang of loss. “Damn, after all that effort to win over those fangirls, they’re all gone now...” he thought.

Suddenly, he asked, “By the way, how’s the situation up there? After I left, no major problems, right?”

Yue Chan replied calmly, “Well, except for the angel Xi Feng, almost all have perished. Angel Ruo Xi and Xi Feng are locked in a decisive battle at the Infinite Sea Cliff. It’s a grudge from their Heavenly Realm; we’re staying out of it. So far, it seems Ruo Xi won’t lose, but I sense something’s off with her...”

“Oh... you noticed it too?” Ye Qiu was curious. He had suspected something about Ruo Xi early on and was surprised Yue Chan saw it as well. They were on the same level; the outcome was uncertain. How could she tell?

Yue Chan reclined elegantly in a rocking chair, the young girls massaging her legs. Her flawless, alabaster limbs beneath the white gauzy dress were mesmerizing. Ye Qiu swallowed nervously.

Look at those long white legs... Better stop, he reminded himself—he was a gentleman.

Yue Chan spoke softly, “Perhaps you forgot, my cultivation method is the Azure Lotus Art, which spans eternity and understands all things. Within me, the Wisdom Heart discerns good from evil. How could I not see the problem with Angel Ruo Xi?”

Ye Qiu silently nodded, not fully grasping the meaning but pretending to understand.

So, Yue Chan truly deserved the title of the top peer, unlike Ye Qiu, who hadn’t participated in the peerless immortal trials. No one knew where he had come from, and there were no rumors about him in the Great Wilderness. He was simply excluded.

“Hmm... this little angel has reached that realm, but her mindset is unstable, lacking sufficient confidence. Normally, she doesn’t show it, but once in battle, she becomes overly cautious. Even when she could kill her opponent with a single sword, she always misses the chance,” Ye Qiu said seriously.

He might not be good at much else, but he was sharp at spotting such flaws. If he said there was a problem, there definitely was.

He was the so-called King of Bluster—if you asked him, he could list hundreds of flaws, but if you wanted him to fight, sorry... he wouldn’t.
