358: Chapter 355: Ye Chuxue’s Coming of Age Ceremony!
Yuann Hua had never imagined that he would watch his own ear getting eaten by a dog.
Ever since then, he had developed an inexplicable hatred toward Huskies.
“Mr.
Yuann, Young Master Yuann, please have so cake!” Li Chen cut two large pieces of cake and handed them to Yuann Jinsan and Yuann Hua.
After the grandfather and grandson exchanged a glance, Yuann Jinsan sighed softly and took the cake from Li Chen with both hands: “Thank you, Immortal Master Li!”
“You’re welco, it’s the least I could do.”
Having said that, Li Chen then held another piece of cake in front of Yuann Hua.
“Young Master Yuann, please.”
At this point, Yuann Hua was in no mood to eat cake, and he was so humiliated that he didn’t reach out to take it.
“What, do you want to feed you?”
As he spoke, Li Chen grabbed the cake and sared it onto Yuann Hua’s face.
Yuann Hua was utterly furious, wiping the cake from his face and screaming hysterically, “Damn it, Li Chen you…”
However, before he could finish speaking, he was firmly pulled back by Yuann Jinsan.
“Immortal Master Li, we have eaten the cake and will take our leave now.
For today’s humiliation, our Yuann Family will certainly repay it twofold another day!”
Li Chen nodded and said, “Alright, I’m always ready for a challenge.
But if there’s a next ti, it won’t be as simple as just offering you cake!”
Facing the extrely arrogant Li Chen, Yuann Jinsan didn’t say anything more but just snorted angrily and dragged the distraught Yuann Hua toward the exit.
After seeing off Yuann Jinsan and Yuann Hua, Li Chen withdrew his gaze and surveyed his surroundings.
Wherever his gaze went, people dodged and kept out of his way, none daring to et his eyes.
Li Chen’s gaze finally landed on Old Lady Tang, and he bowed respectfully: “Granny, Chuxue and I will address you this way, you don’t mind, do you?”
“Not at all, not at all, how could I possibly mind?” Old Lady Tang waved her hands and helped Li Chen up.
Then, she gave Zhou Lian a fierce glare.
Zhou Lian had been scared out of her wits ever since she learned that Li Chen was Immortal Master Li, to the point where her pants were wet and dripping water.
“Li, Li, Li Chen, oh no, Immortal Master Li, about the previous incident, I, I, I apologize…”
Li Chen waved his hand and said coldly, “You don’t owe an apology; it’s Chuxue you need to apologize to.
Go talk to her about it!”
Zhou Lian nodded repeatedly like a pecking chicken, then hurriedly ran to Ye Chuxue.
“Chuxue, I…”
Seeing her daughter stamring and unable to speak, Tang Yufeng quickly took off her jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it over.
“Chuxue, the previous incident was all a misunderstanding.
Today is your 18th birthday, and as an aunt, I didn’t prepare a gift.
This pair of jade bracelets represents an aunt’s good intentions!”
Ye Chuxue knew it was her Fourth Aunt’s dowry jewelry, her favorite accessory, and insisted on not accepting it.
At this mont, Old Lady Tang coughed gently and said, “Cough cough, Chuxue, this is your Fourth Aunt’s well-aning gesture, just accept it!”
Hearing her grandma’s word, Ye Chuxue felt awkward and unsure of what to do.
Li Chen stepped forward and took the jade bracelet: “Then, thank you, Fourth Aunt!”
After speaking, he handed the jade bracelet to Ye Chuxue.
“Chuxue, take it.
Otherwise, the entire Tang Family won’t be at ease.”
Ye Chuxue was not versed in the ways of the world, but from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of her Fourth Aunt Tang Yufeng sighing in relief after parting with the bracelet, and she knew that what Li Chen said was true.
She then nodded gently and smiled at Tang Yufeng: “Thank you, Fourth Aunt, I really like this bracelet!”
“It’s good that you like it, it’s good that you like it!” Tang Yufeng wiped the sweat from her forehead and gave Ye Chuxue an apologetic smile.
The jade bracelets were worth millions and were her dowry jewelry.
Giving them away like this obviously pained her.
However, since Ye Chuxue accepted the gift, it ant that she had forgiven her, and there would be no more dwelling on past grievances.
Seeing this, other mbers of the Tang Family also presented their gifts, which they had prepared earlier, and made them several tis richer to present to Ye Chuxue overwhelmingly.
Ye Chuxue did not refuse but accepted them all.
Whenever a gift is given, the stone hanging in one’s heart finally lands on the ground.
Otherwise, with the thods of Immortal Master Li, there would be no need for him to take personal action to deal with them.
Simply a word or a glance would have countless people at his beck and call.
At this mont, Ye Yuancheng and Tang Lan, who were deliberately sent away by Old Lady Tang, also rushed over in a hurry.
They were all dumbfounded when they learned the truth of the matter.
Tang Lan was still sowhat better, showing not much surprise.
She had always paid close attention to Li Chen, and had previously been in contact with Li Chen’s mother for a while, so she was ntally prepared for him being Immortal Master Li.
Ye Yuancheng was a different case altogether.
He usually paid no attention to Li Chen.
He could never have imagined that the usually quiet and lowest-ranking student could be the omnipotent Immortal Master Li.
How could he not be shocked?
Fortunately, he hadn’t driven him away.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It was his wife and daughter who had the insight to recognize a True Dragon!
Thinking of this, Ye Yuancheng unconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
After exchanging a look with his wife Tang Lan, he walked towards his daughter and Li Chen.
Ye Chuxue coquettishly called out, “Dad, where did you run off to just now?”
Li Chen also called out, “Uncle Ye!”
Ye Yuancheng nodded at Li Chen and said, “Li Chen, Uncle may have been a bit harsh before.
Don’t take it to heart!”
While speaking, he took Ye Chuxue’s hand and placed it in Li Chen’s, saying, “You and Chuxue have grown up together, like childhood sweethearts, and now she is of age.
Now, I entrust her to you.
I hope you will take good care of her on behalf of your aunt and !”
“Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?” Ye Chuxue blushed and chided softly.
But even though she said this, she clenched Li Chen’s hand tightly, as if she would lose sothing precious if she let go.
Li Chen looked at Ye Chuxue and nodded vigorously, saying, “Uncle Ye, don’t worry, I will take good care of Chuxue for the rest of my life and never let her down!”
Seeing this scene, Tang Lan was also overjoyed to the point of tears, rushing over to tightly embrace Ye Chuxue.
“Chuxue, happy birthday!”
Li Chen held a cake with eighteen colorful candles and walked over to Ye Chuxue.
“Xue’er, make a wish and blow out the candles!”
Ye Chuxue nodded like a pecking chick, put her hands together, and began to make a wish.
After making her wish, she blew out all the lit candles in one breath.
Colorful strears and balloons all rose into the sky at this mont.
A large group of people surrounded the birthday girl Ye Chuxue and began to sing the birthday song.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you…
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you…
The atmosphere was warm and filled with joy!
Hearing the blessings of family and friends, Ye Chuxue knew she was the happiest person in the world at this mont.
Moreover, she would continue to be happy, until the very end of ti.
Ye Chuxue glanced at Li Chen beside her, her happy smile almost overflowing from her watery eyes.
With the tip of her finger, she traced words in the air.
I wish to be acquainted with you,
With no end for a long life.
Mountains shall crumble,
Rivers shall run dry,
Thunder shall roar in winter,
Snow shall fall in sumr,
Only when heaven and earth collide,
Shall I dare to part with you!

The last few lines are from “Shang Ye,” originating from Han Music Bureau’s folk songs, a tiless love poem.
They were once spoken by Xia Zixue and Erkang in “My Fair Princess.”
