Yanjing, with a total population exceeding ten million, is Huaxia's largest city. If one were to stand on the rooftop of a skyscraper and look down, they would see nothing but matchboxes, with buildings of varying heights crammed tightly together.
At this moment, two women stood atop the headquarters of Ning Pharmaceuticals in Yanjing. One wore a white velvet dress, her expression serene. A closer look would reveal her to be a stunningly beautiful young woman. Her clothes fluttered gently in the breeze, swaying slightly. Combined with her exquisite beauty, she truly resembled a Nine Heavens Immortal Maiden, making onlookers only dare to admire her from afar, fearing that even a slight approach might disturb her.
"Qingxue, do you really want to marry that guy, that... Ye Mo?"
The speaker was a girl in a red dress standing beside her. Though she too was charming, she paled significantly in comparison to the girl in white.
The young woman in the white dress gazed intently at the countless distant high-rise buildings and the lines of cars moving like foraging ants, remaining silent. It was as if none of it concerned her.
The girl in red sighed and said:
"Qingxue, I know you never wanted to marry that good-for-nothing Ye Mo. Honestly, who in this world could ever be worthy of you? Though I know your declaration at that gathering about marrying Ye Mo was just nonsense, or rather, using that good-for-nothing as a shield."
"But Qingxue, for girls of our status, marriage is a major affair that we can't decide for ourselves. You might fend them off once, but there will be many more times. If you keep using that good-for-nothing as an excuse every time, with the methods of those young masters from the capital, he might just disappear forever. Then you'd have no more excuses."
The girl in white frowned slightly and said:
"I didn't tell anyone to kill him. Besides, what does his life or death have to do with me? When I got engaged to him, I didn't even know if he was round or flat. If he really gets killed, he'll only have himself to blame. Mu Mai, didn't you say he's having a very difficult life right now?"
"Give him a million. Consider it payment for using him as a shield. After this, there's no need to mention him again. I am me, he is he; we have no connection whatsoever."
"Qingxue, giving him a million will only make him rush to his death faster. Do you even know what kind of person he is? He's a discarded scion of a prominent family, without any of their qualifications. If he gets a million, won't he immediately brag about it to the whole neighborhood? I think twenty thousand is enough."
The girl named Mu Mai quickly said.
"Alright, go do it. I don't want any more trouble over this."
After saying that, the girl in the white dress said nothing more. She simply stood there silently, gazing at the distant sky, lost in thought.
"Ye Mo, Ye Mo, are you alright? Get up quickly, it's time for class. Today's lesson is going to be terrible, hurry and wake up!"
A voice seemed to be shouting in Ye Mo's ear, and he felt a strange sensation.
"This idiot, he must be too ashamed to face anyone, that's why he's covering his face."
Another voice echoed in his ear, but Ye Mo still didn't wake up.
Ye Mo looked around blankly. There was no one he knew; all the faces were unfamiliar.
Seeing Ye Mo's bewildered expression, many laughs rang out. Seeing the people around him laughing loudly, seemingly mocking him, he immediately didn't dare to ask aloud. He could only secretly remain on guard, wary of someone making a move against him.
Looking at the classmate sitting next to him, it seemed only he wasn't mocking him. He had even kindly woken him up just now.
"Where am I? Who am I? Why does this look like a lecture hall?"
Ye Mo was startled and instinctively blurted out the questions.
"Haha..."
Another round of laughter erupted.
"Ye Mo, I think you're being too muddled. Is Yan Yan someone anyone can just casually write a love letter to? It was fine when you were still part of the Ye family, but now you're not a Ye anymore. Be careful from now on. Next is Miss Yun Bing's English class. You absolutely cannot let her catch you."
A voice from his deskmate rang out in Ye Mo's ear. The soft sound was audible only to Ye Mo, showing that his deskmate was also very worried.
"I really don't remember clearly anymore. I had a terrible headache just now and forgot a lot of things." Ye Mo said, feeling a little helpless.
His deskmate sighed, naturally not believing that Ye Mo genuinely couldn't remember; he must just be trying to save face. He still hadn't grasped the truth: he was no longer the Ye Mo of the Ye family.
Ye Mo's headache throbbed in waves. He still remembered that he and his master, Luo Ying, were refining primal pills when the rabble from Xi Liu Sect came to fight. Then there were sounds of slashing and a powerful explosion. He also remembered his master hugging him and fleeing afterward, but why was he here now? Was this still Luo Yue Continent?
That's right, he was sitting here now, but where was his master? His master was only three years older than him. Moreover, the reason Xi Liu Sect had suddenly attacked them was because his master was too beautiful. The Young Master of Xi Liu Sect wanted to take his beautiful master, but she had refused, which led to this whole incident.
If his master fell into the hands of Xi Liu Sect, the consequences would be unimaginable. Thinking of this, Ye Mo couldn't suppress the horror in his heart and suddenly stood up.
"What's going on here? Didn't you hear the class bell?"
A woman with a cold expression, holding several textbooks, stood on the podium. Her cold gaze swept over all the laughing students below, and the sound of laughter abruptly died down. Everyone knew this was Miss Yun Bing's English class. What she hated most were noisy students, and once she noticed someone, they were absolutely in for a bad time.
Ye Mo felt something strange. Although he understood these words, they were clearly not the words he usually used. Could this really no longer be Luo Yue Continent?
Frowning, Ye Mo wanted to understand more clearly, but his headache returned, and a flood of jumbled memories came rushing back.
Ye Mo, the third-generation grandson of the Ye family, whose father, Ye Wentian, had passed away two years ago. He had no impression of his mother whatsoever. Ye Mo himself had been expelled from the Ye family after his father's death, the precise reason being that Ye Mo was not Ye Wentian's son.
More precisely, after Ye Mo's father died, Ye Mo's lineage was re-examined and determined not to be of the Ye family. It was because of this that he was expelled from the Ye family.
He also had a younger sister named Ye Ling and a younger brother named Ye Zifeng, but they were not his full siblings; they were half-siblings, sharing the same father but different mothers. Three years ago, his father, Ye Wentian, seemingly aware of a debt owed to Ye Mo, proposed a marriage alliance with the Ning family to the Old Master of the Ye family. Perhaps Ye Wentian knew his health was failing and wanted to help Ye Mo find a stable backing, which was why he sought out the Ning family in the capital.
Naturally, the Ning family was delighted to agree to an engagement with the Ye family, one of the five great clans in Huaxia. The Old Master Ning's granddaughter, Ning Qingxue, was promised in marriage to Ye Mo. Today, three years later, the twenty-one-year-old Ning Qingxue had become one of the most beautiful young women in the capital.
However, Ye Mo had become a disaster for the Ye family, and the reason was simple. During a hospital examination, Ye Mo was found to have lost function in a certain part of his body – to put it bluntly, he was impotent. Yet, it seemed that everyone in the capital knew about it overnight. The Ye family, one of the five great clans in the capital, had a cripple, and the Ye family suffered a great loss of face.
—Ah!!!!
The memories stopped there. Ye Mo cried out in alarm, stood up, and almost pulled down his pants to check. He had somewhat grasped that he might have been reborn into the body of someone named Ye Mo, but he still couldn't be considered a normal person. This was worse than death.
—Student, what's your name? Class has started, why are you shouting? Come to my office after class.
The beautiful teacher, whose lecture had been interrupted by Ye Mo's shout, looked very displeased.
The other students in the class were secretly snickering. This English teacher was probably the only one who called students to the teacher's office at the slightest provocation. You couldn't refuse to go, because your grades were in her hands.
Ye Mo sat down dejectedly. Although he didn't fully understand the internal family disputes, he had some grasp of his own situation. It was highly probable that he had been expelled from the Ye family because of his lost function. Perhaps he wasn't even a true member of the Ye family, and who knew what tricks might have been played during a DNA test?
What Ye Mo worried about wasn't being expelled from the Ye family; he fundamentally didn't care much about that. What truly concerned him was his "impotence" and the fate of his master, Luo Ying.
But he also understood why the students in the class were laughing: it was because his previous body had been expelled from the Ye family and had also pursued a beautiful female student named Yan Yan. As a result, his love letter was taped onto the blackboard, and then she stood on the podium, looking down at him contemptuously and saying:
—Young Master Ye, can you even get into bed with me?
So that was it. No wonder the entire lecture hall had erupted in laughter. It was highly possible that the original Ye Mo had died from this very humiliation. To tell an impotent man to get into bed with her—wouldn't that make his entire world collapse? Although the person being spoken of wasn't him, Ye Mo's expression still darkened.
Looking at the female student named Yan Yan, her beauty was indeed outstanding, but her looks made Ye Mo feel very uncomfortable. He truly didn't understand why his previous body had wanted to pursue her.
But Ye Mo quickly understood the reason. It was because when the previous Ye Mo was still in the Ye family, everyone fawned over him, including the girl named Yan Yan. Later, when the news of his impotence spread, he felt ashamed and humiliated, which made him want to find a girlfriend. But he truly hadn't expected that the girl who used to flatter him would treat him like that. This humiliation and shame were what caused him to fall unconscious, leading to his rebirth.
He hadn't expected to be reborn here either.
He didn't understand a single word of the beautiful teacher's lecture. Even if he did understand, Ye Mo wouldn't want to listen. He absolutely could not accept his current state of impotence. Being reborn like this was worse than not being reborn at all.
After sorting through his memories a bit, Ye Mo's face darkened again. He first decided not to concern himself with the issue of his impotence. Even if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here seemed extremely thin, making it fundamentally impossible to cultivate. Could it be that he was truly stuck on this place called Earth, unable to even die?
Whether or not he attended university was no longer important. The most crucial thing was to clarify his current situation, the connection between his impotence and the Ye family's reputation. Although he had been expelled from the Ye family, who knew if he might suddenly be killed? Perhaps there were other hidden reasons behind his expulsion from the Ye family. Was his safety guaranteed now?
After the dismissal bell rang, the first thing Ye Mo did was not go to the beautiful teacher, but rush out of school. He wanted to find a place to check if his manhood was truly "paralyzed."
Fortunately, there weren't many other things around Ninghai University, but there were plenty of small alleys. Ye Mo quickly ran into a quiet alley with few passersby and hastily pulled down his pants.
His little brother was indeed very small. However, Ye Mo wasn't disappointed by its small size, nor did he fail to achieve an erection because of it. He sighed in relief. It wasn't that he was impotent; rather, his little brother was too large, but its development was blocked by a meridian, creating a false appearance of impotence. Before he cultivated on the Luo Yue Continent, he was a master healer. He understood situations like this at a glance.
However, for Earth's current science, clearing such a blocked meridian was still a distant dream. But this was difficult for Ye Mo. Although he currently lacked the ability to clear the blocked meridian and make his little brother robust, the meridian would automatically clear itself once he cultivated to the third Qi Layer.
However, Ye Mo was immediately disappointed. Because on this Earth, with such weak spiritual energy of heaven and earth, cultivating to the third Qi Layer was an extremely arduous task. Perhaps he wouldn't be able to reach that level in his entire life. In that case, he would still be impotent.
With another sigh, Ye Mo was about to pull up his pants when a startled cry suddenly made him jump.
"– You pervert...!"
A woman's voice shrieked in front of Ye Mo. Ye Mo had just been checking his little brother and had unexpectedly forgotten to check his surroundings. He hadn't realized that this small alley connected to a road, with only a blind corner ahead.
Ye Mo didn't show any madness. Besides, he wasn't in a position to act crazy right now. He quickly pulled up his pants and fled.
"Ye Mo, why is it you?"
After the woman shrieked, she unexpectedly asked in a startled tone. It was very clear that she knew Ye Mo.
