I Am A Prodigy Chapter 323

323 Readers Who Turned From Fans Into Haters

Ye Lingchen slept until it was noontime. He woke up and lazily stretched his waist before getting ready to head over to the meeting point with Xu Nan.

There were too many things going on in recent days and updates for Celestial Bane had slowed down significantly. The book review area was full of complaints, but when Ye Lingchen uploaded the latest buffer chapter, the book review area exploded with even more comments.

Little Chen was a bookworm who read any and every book as long as it was a best-seller. He would then pick out his favorite works and followed them zealously. After Celestial Bane was published, he fell deeply in love with that work. He would never miss any chapters to the point the book become part of his routine. The more he read it, the more exciting it became.

[Unfortunately, I am Y is pulling a fast one on us. The latest updates are always sporadic. I miss the days when there were tens of thousands of words updated in one day!] Little Chen lamented. Forget about the reduced updates, even the update time had become unstable. Sigh…

While he was busy complaining, he opened QQ Read like he always did. At first glance, his heart skipped a beat and he had a happy look on his face. Celestial Bane had been updated!

Surprise!

He clicked into Celestial Bane without any hesitation and began satiating his hunger for the story.

That part was also a major climax for Celestial Bane. When the Demon Sect and the Orthodox Sect gathered on Clear Skies Peak, they entered an endless battle with each other. Following countless misunderstandings, everyone felt that Zhang Xiaofan and the Demon Sect were somehow connected.

Just as the demons were about to retreat, Clear Skies' Caretaker did not hesitate to use the Celestial Bane Sword Formation for fear of Zhang Xiaofan's future potential. There was no doubt that Zhang Xiaofan would be killed!

When Celestial Bane Sword Formation started, the sword Qi was released and the wind screamed as it took on the shape of a huge sword. The boundless sword Qi enveloped Zhang Xiaofan.

A flurry of perplexed looks stared at Zhang Xiaofan. There came from brothers who grew up together, confidantes, and fellow friends—all of which seemed unable to change Zhang Xiaofan's deathly fate.

No, Zhang Xiaofan was the protagonist! He could not possibly die!

Little Chen was extremely serious when reading those chapters. He read it word by word and the plot deeply moved his emotions. It was only one chapter, but time passed as slowly as a century. He was constantly on edge and he continued to read on.

[Silence covered the world in an instant. Even the imposing and earth-shattering aura of the Celestial Bane Sword Formation ceased…

Those gentle, fair hands that were all to Zhang Xiaofan had gotten familiar with all those years appeared beside him. There was a quiet yet crystal clear sound of a bell and he was pushed to one side.

It was a sound that had probably been in slumber thousands of years, but it was ringing softly at that very moment, chanting softly for its beloved lover:

'Spirits of the Nine Netherworlds, all the Celestial Deities, and Demons, with this I offer my blood and body as a sacrifice…

She stood in the raging storm while her slightly reddened eyes looked at Zhang Xiaofan. Her faint and clear face carried a faint smile.

The wind blew her light-green clothes. It fluttered and danced about like the most poignant scene in the world…]

Little Chen felt a wrench in his heart after reading that. An extremely bad hunch began looming over him.

When he read about the green-clothed woman hurtling toward the giant sword like a moth rushing toward a light, Little Chen's eye sockets became teary.

[…Three lives and seven generations, forever in hell; for the sake of love, death brings no regrets…]

Tears flowed down his cheeks and Little Chen began crying. It was the first time he ever shed tears when reading a novel.

“F*ck! F*ck!” He could not control himself from standing up and cursing out incessantly. All he felt was suffocation in his heart. “Bi Yao died? Did the author really killed off my Bi Yao!”

Celestial Bane was the hottest book of its time and some people have analyzed statistics on who was the most well-received female character within the novel.

Surprisingly, the most popular woman was Bi Yao from the Demon Sect. However, the story had written about her death.

Little Chen was not the only one who cried. When the chapter was uploaded, countless people read it too and there was a great number who cried at the same time.

[F*CK! This is fake, right! Author, come out right now! You're just lying to gain our sympathy, aren't you?]

[Author, if you're writing about Bi Yao's death, I'll abandon the book and become a hater! That's right, I'm not bluffing!]

[Fuck! Bi Yao will be resurrected, right? Author, do you still have a heart? You're an animal!]

[Ah, ah, ah, author, show yourself, and die! Why did you write about Bi Yao's death? I was happy when I started reading and now you show me this?]

[This whole day, no, this whole month, I'll be in a bad mood! Author, if you don't resurrect Bi Yao, I'll seek an explanation from you even in the very end!]

The entire book review area was flooded in an instant. Many even called on everyone else to wage war against Ye Lingchen and force him to resurrect Bi Yao.

As a result, the name 'Bi Yao' unexpectedly shot up the trending searches.

Ye Lingchen naturally ignored all that. By then, he had already arrived at the place that he agreed-upon with Xu Nan.

Spacelab Restaurant was a well-known dining establishment in Capital. The price was not too high but the atmosphere was very good. It was perfect for couples. The entire restaurant was warmly-colored, and the food was served not by the waiter but slid down a slide directly to your table. It was very unique.

“Master, here!” As soon as he entered the restaurant, he saw Xu Nan beckoning him over. Ye Lingchen smiled and walked toward her.

Very soon, however, he froze for a moment and looked at another person in surprise. “Teacher Xu?”

“Ye Lingchen, you're Xu Nan's master?” Xu Wanqing also looked at Ye Lingchen in shock. Her mouth was slightly agape and she was bewildered.

“Sis, you know him?” Xu Nan was also stunned.

Ye Lingchen smiled bitterly. He did not expect Xu Wanqing to be Xu Nan's sister. It made sense why Xu Nan would scout Earth's Gate's base in the dead of night. Xu Nan's sister was kidnapped, so it was only natural that she would take it seriously.

“He's the math genius I told you about,” Xu Wanqing said and calmed down quickly.

“GASP!”

Xu Nan inhaled sharply and looked at Ye Lingchen in disbelief, “Master, you're good at math too?! You're amazing!”

“I dabble in it. It's nothing worth mentioning,” Ye Lingchen said modestly.

“Master, I realize your pretentiousness is also outstandingly refined. So amazing!” Xu Nan marveled yet again.

“I think you should learn more from your sister and be a gentler, quieter maiden.” Ye Lingchen rolled his eyes.

Xu Nan pouted, “Master, do you feel anything toward my sister? It's unfortunate though because you came a step too late. My sister already has a sweetheart.”

Mm?

Ye Lingchen could not help but look at Xu Wanqing in amazement. He could not imagine that such a devoted and quiet woman of mathematics would have someone that she liked.

“Xu Nan, don't talk nonsense!” Xu Wanqing blushed and retorted immediately.

“Tch, come on Sis, even a fool can see that you wear Superman Y's bracelet every day. You keep watching Superman Y's videos over and over again. What else could that be if it isn't love?” Xu Nan commented loudly before pausing. She then said, “If you ask me, Superman Y isn't as good as my master.” …
