Full-Level Rich Daughter Makes a Strong Comeback - Chapter 932

Chapter 932: Elite Competition

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Though feeling restless knowing her lanugo hair had been taken by an unknown person, Ye Leng’an remained relatively composed. She believed her strength would shield her from easy manipulation.

“I’m fine.” Huangfu Ruiling’s lips curled into a faint smile, though his eyes flashed danger. “I won’t let anyone harm you.”

Despite his gentle tone, his resolve was unwavering.

Regardless of the hidden agenda behind her stolen hair, it was best not to provoke any action that might harm Ye Leng’an. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire.

Ye Leng’an chuckled and shook her head, then reached out to stroke Huangfu Ruiling’s brow. “Enough with the frown. Isn’t it better now that we know? It’d be worse to be blindsided later.”

Huangfu Ruiling nodded, saying no more.

“Forget about it.” Ye Leng’an rose, hands on the desk, smiling at Huangfu Ruiling. “I don’t have classes this afternoon. Let’s go out and have some fun!”

Despite her nonchalance after learning about the events at the Ye family, she still felt a bit repulsed. Therefore, she decided against returning to alchemy in the afternoon. Her mind was too restless for effective practice. Refining pills now would likely be futile, wasting precious herbs. She opted to skip it altogether.

Thus, she desired nothing more than to go out and enjoy herself in the afternoon.

Seeing Ye Leng’an’s playful demeanor, Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t refuse. And he had never considered turning down any of her requests.

In the afternoon, after lunch, they headed to the amusement park.

Entering the park, they found not just children but also adults.

Seeing the variety of rides and hearing the laughter around them, Ye Leng’an felt as if transported to another world.

In her previous life, she had been to this place. But back then, the truth of her and Ye Xiyuan’s switch had yet to be revealed. The Ye family had treated her well then. However, Ye Xiyuan’s emergence and subsequent changes in the family had soured everything. Eventually, she met an untimely demise.

Returning to the amusement park now, she felt a sense of disorientation, even unreality.

“What’s wrong?” Huangfu Ruiling noticed Ye Leng’an’s distraction immediately, patting her shoulder gently. “Why are you standing here lost in thought?”

“It’s nothing.” Ye Leng’an shook her head, brushing off past memories. “Just reminiscing about some old times. But they’re all in the past.”

Indeed, the past was behind her now. She was no longer the weak and vulnerable Ye Leng’an of before. Reborn, she was now a cultivator of the Ascension Stage, returned from the cultivation world.

In this life, everything was different. Ye Xiyuan no longer had the power to trample her.

“Now that it’s in the past, let’s not dwell on it,” Huangfu Ruiling said lightly. “The future is what matters most.”

“Yes, indeed!” Ye Leng’an took his hand and led the way forward. “Since we’re here today, let’s have a blast! You probably haven’t been to an amusement park like this before, have you?”

Had it not been for her visit to the Ye family today, she probably wouldn’t have reminisced about the past. But since it was all in the past now, she shouldn’t dwell on it.

Huangfu Ruiling allowed her to lead him forward. Though he remained silent, the tenderness in his eyes was enough to ensnare anyone.

In the afternoon, they shed all constraints of their identities and played like children in the amusement park.

It wasn’t until evening that they left the park and went to have dinner together.

“Oh, by the way, we’ll probably need to visit the Hidden World next month,” Huangfu Ruiling said, placing peeled shrimp into Ye Leng’an’s bowl. “The Elite Competition in the Hidden World is about to begin. We have to go back.”

“Elite Competition?” Ye Leng’an was taken aback by this sudden news. “What kind of competition is that?”

Hearing her confusion, Huangfu Ruiling proceeded to explain the rules and origin of the Elite Competition in detail.

Ye Leng’an listened intently, her interest piqued. After understanding, she became excited. “It sounds like a lot of fun! And I feel like this competition will be much more thrilling than the previous Family Competition!”

“Indeed.” Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “The Family Competition involves the younger generation of cultivators, with varying levels of strength. But overall, their abilities aren’t too high. However, this Elite Competition is different. The age range for participants is much wider. But…”

At this point, Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes flashed with a hint of darkness. “The Elite Competition is much crueler than the Family Competition.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Leng’an was momentarily stunned but quickly regained her composure. “You mean, cultivators may lose their lives in this Elite Competition.”

“In every Elite Competition, there are cultivators who perish,” Huangfu Ruiling continued. “Before the competition begins, many choose to sign a life and death contract. Once you participate, you’re responsible for your own fate. Neither your family nor your allies can seek revenge for any reason.”

Ye Leng’an understood. “No wonder the Elite Competition is held only once every 20 years. If it were held more often, I’m afraid many lives would be lost!”

However, she somewhat understood those who willingly signed the life and death contract. When there was no way out, people were more likely to tap into their potential, even surpassing their limits.

Winning could lead to great cultivation progress while losing meant death.

Regardless, it was a personal choice.

Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “However, every Elite Competition identifies many talented individuals. Some are recruited by the Enforcement Team. Therefore, there will be no shortage of participants in the Elite Competition. Especially for powerful rogue cultivators, if they seek backing, they may participate in the Elite Competition to attract the attention of major factions and achieve their goals.”
