Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice-Chapter 908: Fighting with Ye Chen again

Behind the Golden House, or also a building where the Teyvat currency called Mora is produced.

Not far from there, there was a traditional-style mansion with a large courtyard and at this moment—a man was lying on a bed made of bamboo.

He was none other than the protagonist Ye Chen.

Since being defeated by Eiji a week ago, he had returned to his pig-like lifestyle.

Every day, he continued to laze around. But don’t misunderstand, since he had the Salted Fish System, he became stronger in the process.

So far, he had earned quite a few rewards from his system and became a Cultivator who had entered the Spirit Palace Realm.

The power of his devil fruit had also increased a lot from last time. He felt great and thought of taking revenge on Eiji.

"Wait a little longer, Eiji. When I’m ready. I will personally find you to cut off your head."

"And Ningguang, I’ll also make you regret choosing to be with that bastard!"

For a moment, Ye Chen’s expression looked ferocious but he immediately calmed himself down and entered lazy mode again.

Otherwise, he was worried that the system would not reward him after he lay down from morning to afternoon.

Because of that, the servants in his house looked at him with a disdainful look and called him a lazy pig behind his back.

That was rude.

But for the sake of revenge, Ye Chen was willing to endure humiliation!

That was what he was thinking before he heard one of the servants working in his house speak to him.

"Master, there is a guest coming to see you."

Ye Chen opened his eyes again and glanced at the unremarkable woman standing beside him.

He frowned.

"I believe I’ve asked you to refuse anyone who wants to see me including Ningguang!"

He thought Ningguang would visit him someday to apologize. However, he would not forgive her easily after what she did before.

Ningguang: "....."

Ye Chen, you’re too narcissistic.

"S-Sorry master, but I dare not refuse to let him in because he is... he calls himself Lady Ningguang’s fiancé, Eiji Seiya."

"...!"

Hearing the name of the person he hated, Ye Chen immediately stood up.

"Eiji came to see me and he called himself Ningguang’s fiancé!? That bastard... He must have done it on purpose to give me more humiliation!"

He was surprised and quickly looked angry. Ignoring his servant who was intimidated by him, he rushed straight to the living room.

There, he saw a handsome silver-haired man sitting with one leg crossed and drinking a cup of tea.

"Eiji...! What are you doing here!?"

Without rushing, Eiji continued to sip his tea before smiling at the protagonist.

"Nice house, Ye Chen. But the scent here feels like the bitter past. I came to ensure that you are no longer sad and harbor resentment because of what happened between us before."

[Host, what game are you playing?]

[I also have the same question, my king.]

Miss System, Leme, shut up and watch.

Hearing what Eiji said, Ye Chen was stunned for a moment before snorting.

His face was grim and he said, "Are you kidding me, Eiji? There’s no way I’m letting the past pass me by! You stole my fiancée, Ningguang!"

"You forgot something. I also defeated you before."

"You...!"

Eiji took another sip of his tea, he looked at the protagonist who came from a certain country with an amused look.

Ye Chen clenched his fist, the aura/qi within him exploded and made the building tremble.

The Oppression of the Spirit Palace Realm locked onto Eiji.

"Eiji, I’m different from myself a week ago. Now I have the power to kill you! But there’s no need to rush. First, I’ll break your bones and trample you like a dog!"

[Hahaha! These words... It really reminds me of the protagonists of a certain country.]

[Ye Chen, you managed to entertain me.]

Many heroines fell silent.

As usual, Eiji didn’t take the protagonist seriously and saw him as a source of entertainment for him.

Right now, he knew Ye Chen was really gaining power. There weren’t many people in Teyvat who could be his opponent.

But power at this level...

"What is this? You said you wanted to break my bones. Why do I feel like you’re massaging me?"

Ye Chen was dumbfounded.

In front of his eyes, Eiji was still sitting casually as if he was not affected by his oppression.

He felt humiliated.

"No way! Stop pretending, Eiji. I know you’re enduring pain right now."

Eiji made a confused expression.

"Instead of pain, you actually make me feel like I’m being massaged. If possible, you should add more power."

"Ahhh! You underestimate me! Eiji, you think this is all I can do? You’re wrong!"

Ye Chen couldn’t believe that after leveling up this much, he was still unable to hurt the man in front of him in the slightest.

He raised one of his hands forward and instantly, his body was enveloped in golden light.

He used his devil fruit ability, Pika Pika no Mi.

Instantly, he released a shot of golden light that was much stronger than in the past.

*BOOM!*

The attack shattered the living room and perforated the wall. The ground and trees within a radius of hundreds of meters were also destroyed by it.

But... Eiji was fine, the chair and table in front of him were even still intact!

Ye Chen froze.

"How is that possible..."

Eiji folded his hands together, the space around him seemed to tremble. He wouldn’t be injured just because of an attack at that level, but to prevent the chair and table he was using from being destroyed. He used the same force field as one of his wives, Ames.

"Not bad, Ye Chen. But is this all you have? For someone who has the System, you’re rather disappointing."

Ye Chen was startled, his heart beating fast. "You... how did you know about that?!"

"I also know you somehow peeked at the fun things Ningguang and I did in her office. Precisely when Ningguang was serving me with her mouth."

Eiji smirked.

His words were like arrows piercing Ye Chen’s heart.

Ye Chen’s face looked green, he couldn’t help but remember the scene Eiji was referring to.

He thought it was just a nightmare when he fainted after being severely injured by the attack of the man in front of him.

But no, the things he saw were actually real!?

It hurt, his heart hurt like an NTR victim.

Even so, what was more important was that Eiji knew he had the System!

Who was he really?

How could he know that kind of thing!?

A thicker killing intent filled Ye Chen’s eyes.

"Enough with this nonsense! Since you already know my secret, I won’t let you go! You really have to die here, Eiji!"

"You say that but what else are you going to do?"

Eiji asked curiously.

Wordlessly, Ye Chen took out something from his inventory. A silver sword with ancient engravings appeared in his hand. He did not use Vision, but the air around him suddenly became so sharp that it cut the air nearby. He was a Sword Cultivator who had reached a very high level in secret.

From now on, he was serious!

"Feel this! Nine Shadows Slash!"

Ye Chen shot out as fast as lightning. His body seemed to split into nine, attacking Eiji from all directions at a speed beyond human logic.

However, Eiji did not move an inch and only relied on his force field still being active.

*Clang! Clang! Clang!*

The nine slashes hit Eiji’s force field, creating sparks that flew and illuminated the entire area of the house.

With Eiji at the center, a pillar of fire was even created and soared into the sky.

It was impossible for the scene not to attract the attention of the residents in Liyue. However, Ye Chen did not care.

He was determined to kill Eiji. Even if he had to create a huge mess.

Still...

"Why?" Ye Chen trembled with anger when he looked at the man who was still sitting drinking tea in front of him. "This technique can blow up mountains! How did you—"

"Are you blind? You don’t see the force field around me? For your information, this is an ability possessed by a Void Dragon. As the Dragon Emperor, I have it."

"Y-You’re the Dragon Emperor!?"

Ye Chen didn’t know what kind of Dragon Emperor Eiji was, but that title sounded domineering and made him envious.

"By the way. Nice slash. However, you wasted too much energy on the extra moves. In my world, we call it ’inefficient aesthetics’."

After saying that, Eiji’s eyes turned black and his cheeks seemed to have grains of cosmic dust in them.

"Now it’s my turn. Gravity Fall."

Ye Chen wanted to refute what Eiji said the sword technique army he used before.

But at this moment, he felt like his body weighed ten tons. He fell to the floor, his knees crushing the marble until it cracked. He tried to stand up and lift his sword, but it felt like it was being pulled by the core of the earth.

The bones, flesh and internal organs of a Cultivator in the Spirit Palace Realm were extremely strong. But under the gravitational manipulation Eiji used, Ye Chen was tormented and in pain.

He shouted while pushing the qi within his body to get rid of the gravity around him. "I will not lose! I am the chosen one! I am the only one destined to be at the top! There is no way I will continue to be defeated by a villain like you, Eiji!"

[Excuse me, Ye Chen. Who are you calling a villain? Me?]

The heroines who had known Eiji for a long time couldn’t help but think: Isn’t that right?

To be precise, Eiji had the same image as a villain that usually appeared in the NTR series.

"Yare-yare."

Eiji shook his head and stood up. The force field around him disappeared and he said, "You’re just a man caught up in delusions. For example, why should Ningguang choose a man who likes to laze around like a pig? I know you did it on purpose because of your system. But from Ningguang’s point of view, she didn’t leave you because you were weak, but because you didn’t care about how you looked to others. In the past, having a fiancé like you must have made her ashamed."

Eiji stepped closer, his footsteps sounding on the shattered floor. He looked at Ye Chen who was kneeling helplessly with a cold yet sympathetic gaze.

Ye Chen felt extremely humiliated.

Veins stood out on his forehead, neck and both hands.

Damn it! Eiji was not only very strong, but his words kept touching his pain points and driving him crazy.

"You think cheap gravity can stop me? I am a Cultivator who has reached the Spirit Palace Stage! I can still fight you!"

Ye Chen released all his energy and slowly stood up. His sword no longer just emitted an aura, but turned into a giant pillar of light that split the roof of his own mansion.

"Forbidden Art: Heaven Judgment Sword Rain."

Thousands of energy swords appeared on the ceiling, all aiming at the point where Eiji stood. With one wave of Ye Chen’s hand, the thousands of swords fell down like meteors. Explosion after explosion shook the area.

A few seconds later.

Eiji’s figure could be seen standing in the center of the blast crater, his clothes that had been tailored to the fashion in Liyue fluttering in the strong wind. To be honest, just like Ye Chen, he now looked like a cultivator with black clothes and golden motifs.

At that moment, his good looks were at the maximum level.

Just by seeing hin fine after receiving that attack, Ye Chen vomited blood.

"Rain of sword qi... It’s a classic attack of cultivators, but it lacks variety."

"Pufft!"

Ye Chen vomited blood again from his mouth.

Don’t misunderstand, it was also because he had internal injuries after releasing the previous attack.

Eiji spread out both his hands. Behind his back, a seven-layered magic circle appeared that rotated in opposite directions. The space around him began to warp and crack, a black aura slowly exiting his body.

Vaguely, a giant humanoid shadow appeared behind him. It was the manifestation of the first Pillar of the 72 Pillars of Solomon—Baal.

The more terrifying Oppression of a cultivator in the Spirit Palace Realm widened with him as its center.

The sky above Liyue became extremely dark as if a storm was about to arrive. Every bird and other animal living in the forest frantically ran as far away from Eiji’s location as possible.

Ye Chen’s face paled and he was frightened when he felt the power from the man in front of him.

"Ye Chen, I increased my output a little. I wonder if you can still live after receiving my next attack?"

"Level 7 Magic: Arc Flash Hazard."

Instantly, the atmosphere was compressed into two poles of positive and negative energy and caused a vortex, where the balance was disturbed and caused a pure white explosion released from the tip of Eiji’s palm.

Ye Chen widened his eyes and panicked, he immediately changed his stance. He bit his finger, smearing blood onto the blade of his sword.

"Don’t be arrogant! Secret Technique: Dimension Breaking Slash!"

Ye Chen slashed his sword which was now coated in black flames capable of burning the soul. The slash created a tear in the air and collided with the attack Eiji released.

*BOOM!!*

A huge explosion engulfed Ye Chen’s house and the surrounding area.

Thick smoke enveloped Eiji’s figure who did not move an inch from his position.

As for Ye Chen?

Ignoring the wounds on his body, he suddenly appeared right behind Eiji and slashed his sword which was now coated in green flames capable of burning the soul.

"Die!!!"

However, before his slash was about to touch his target. Time seemed to stop for Ye Chen. His sword stopped just a millimeter away from Eiji’s neck.

M-My body can’t move!

Damn, what happened!?

Ye Chen wondered in his heart.

"You must be curious what happened. I’ll tell you... I just stopped time."

Eiji turned around and looked directly into the eyes of the protagonist who was filled with hatred towards him.

With Time Matter, he made the time around him freeze.

"!?" Ye Chen was shocked.

The bastard in front of him also had the ability to stop time!?

Cheating, that’s too cheating!

System, do something so I can kill him!

{Sorry, but I can only give you a random reward early for today.}

Then, do it!

{Ding! The host has gained the Grand Master level dishwashing ability.}

Fuck! Can’t you give me a reward that is useful in this situation!?

Ye Chen almost died from anger at his system. But the next second—Eiji punched him in the stomach with a hand covered in red-colored energy ripples called Hamon.

Because he had the Gold Experience Requiem (GER), he was able to learn how to use solar energy from Jojo’s series.

With his understanding, he managed to do it with one try. Ye Chen felt an intense pain shake his stomach and blood came out of his mouth.

His body was thrown at supersonic speed, he crashed into the trees until he landed on the edge of the river. Ye Chen’s body felt paralyzed, his energy system falling apart.

In cultivators’ terms, he had a qi deviation and his dao heart was destroyed because he was defeated by Eiji for the second time.

Eiji teleported to the side of the river and walked on the water towards the lying Ye Chen. "If I’m serious, Liyue will vanish from the Teyvat map along with you. Consider it a mercy that you were once a part of my woman’s past, Ningguang."

His words were like salt sprinkled onto Ye Chen’s wounds.

"Eiji... You... Bastard..."

His vision darkened, he cursed before passing out.

The protagonist was dying now.

Eiji looked at his pitiful figure with an indifferent gaze and wondered if he should kill him?

Honestly, even though he wasn’t serious, the previous fight entertained him. It had been quite a while since he had a punching bag as good as Ye Chen’s.

Still, when he was thinking of leaving the place. Someone who had been peeping for quite a while seemed to misunderstand and showed himself between him and Ye Chen.

He appeared from the ground with stone pillars emitting geo-energy, one of the elements in Teyvat.

Those stone pillars hid Ye Chen. From what he was doing, he was clearly trying to protect him. Gosh, is this the protagonist’s plot armor?

It seemed so.

"Enough, Sir Eiji. The shaking from this place has already been felt all the way to Liuli Pavilion. If you continue, the foundation of this city could shift."

The man who had just appeared said calmly.

"Huh?" Eiji was a little surprised the other party knew his name. That meant, he had been watching him for a long time.

Of course, as the one who had played Genshin Impact, he also recognized him.

"Should I call you Zhongli or Stone God, Morax?"

Morax raised his eyebrows, he didn’t expect his own identity to be instantly recognized by the young man in front of him.

Although at this time, he had disguised himself as a human named Zhongli.

He smiled faintly and said, "The insight of the Dragon Emperor from another universe does not disappoint. I’m Morax, but that was in the past and now I’m a human. You can call me Zhongli. As the God of Contracts, I came not to fight, but rather to ask for a compensation for the shock you caused to my country’s Ley Line."

This man also heard the conversation of him and Ye Chen.

Was it because he was the Stone God? All the stones in Liyue could be his eyes and ears.

Still, the last part Morax said left Eiji stunned.

What is the Ley Line?

It was a giant network of elemental energy and memory that flowed throughout the world, connected to the Irminsul Tree... a giant silver tree that lay deep beneath the ground of Teyvat and served as the world’s central database or "brain". They keep records of the past and circulate elements.

"In short, you want me to stop? But Ye Chen was the one who attacked me first, I was just defending myself and got a little carried away. Almost all the shocks and chaos here happened because of his attacks. My attacks just kept his attacks from spreading to other areas."

Morax blinked his eyes.

He felt that the young man in front of him was shameless. How could he not be? It was true that Ye Chen was at fault because he attacked him first.

But who provoked him with the matter of his engagement being canceled and the woman he liked being snatched up by another man?
