YM778.TV Chapter 32: Critical Hit
"Morni…" his aunt said, but abruptly stopped mid-sentence as she widened her eyes and stared intently at Chen Tian\'s face.
Leng Zhiqing also remained silent and gaped at Chen Tian\'s face, displaying a look of utter astonishment. She seemed too stunned to talk, her gaze locked on Chen Tian\'s features.
"Is there something on my face?" Chen Tian asked, noticing the expression on their faces. As they looked at him, he raised his eyebrows in curiosity, wondering what could be causing the strange look.
As he tilted his head and looked at Aria, she blushed and averted her gaze. Luckily, neither his aunt nor Leng Zhiqing noticed her reaction, as both were in daze.
"What\'s wrong?"
Chen Tian looked puzzled and asked them what was wrong. They both hesitated before his aunt finally spoke up and said, "Tian."
"!!!"
Chen Tian hesitated before responding, "Y-Yes?"
"You know you can tell me everything. You won\'t hide anything from me.
Right?" Chen Ying said as she looked into Chen Tian\'s eyes.
The sight of his aunt\'s gaze caused him to feel a little nervous, as he knew that her gaze was indicative of only one thing: that he had done something wrong.
"Did I do something!?" Chen Tian began to recall if he had done anything wrong, but he couldn\'t remember.
Suddenly, a realization dawned on him, "Don\'t tell me."
He quickly glanced at Aria, whose face was looking down.
Chen Tian suspected that Aria might have revealed what had happened to his aunt, and if that were true, he would be in big trouble.
\'Shit!\'
Noting that Chen Tian was not responding to her, she called out. "Tian?"
"Yes, Aunt?" Chen Tian replied, attempting to conceal his nervousness.
"Be truthful with me. Have you undergone any plastic surgery?" She asked with a straight face.
"What do you mean?" Chen Tian replied.
"I mean… How could I say this, but you\'re more handsome than I remember?" She pointed at Chen Tian\'s face, telling him that he was handsome.
"…"
Upon hearing his aunt\'s words, Chen Tian was left dumbfounded. He couldn\'t believe that all of this—whatever it may be—was due to his facial appearance.
Chen Tian thought that he was in trouble after what he did to Aria.
And was it really possible that he had become more handsome?
"It didn\'t seem like I changed that much, so why did they think I looked more handsome?"
After Chen Tian returned his hair and eyes to their previous appearances, he didn\'t notice much change in his overall appearance.
However, due to the effects of the Primordial Yin Yang Technique, there was a certain aura emanating from him that seemed to attract women towards him.
This was something that Chen Tian was unaware of.
"Well, aunt, I always looked handsome," he said with a confident smile.
"Huh?" his aunt responded, raising an eyebrow in confusion.
"Oh, come on, Aunt, you don\'t believe me," he replied, still grinning.
"No, you looked like a Chimpanzee before" she answered immediately, her face remaining expressionless.
She didn\'t even show the slightest bit of mercy.

If this were a Chinese novel, Chen Tian might have already coughed up blood from her answer. Fortunately, we are dealing with reality here.
"I really didn\'t do anything, and this is how I look," Chen Tian replied.
"Okay, I\'ll believe you. Perhaps it\'s just teenage adolescence," Chen Ying said.
"Oh and I almost forgot, you should stop playing that multiplayer game call something. You were screaming so loudly yesterday that we couldn\'t sleep. Plus, you suck at it anyway."
"Cough"
Chen Tian coughed as he took another critical hit. He felt like he might start really coughing up blood any moment.
"Okay, let\'s eat now," she said, and she began to eat.
Aria, who was still feeling embarrassed, glanced at Chen Tian, who had also started eating. Leng Zhiqing had also begun eating alongside Chen Tian.
Sensing someone\'s gaze on him, Chen Tian turned his head and looked at Aria. When their eyes met, Chen Tian smiled at her.
Aria felt her heart skip a beat, and she blushed, feeling a warm sensation spread across her cheeks. Embarrassed by Chen Tian\'s gaze, she immediately lowered her head and began to focus on eating her food.
"Nice, it is only a matter of time," thought Chen Tian to himself, as he felt confident about his chances with Aria. However, he decided to take things slowly and not rush into anything.
But unbeknownst to them, Aria\'s actions caught the attention of someone, and this person\'s gaze was far from kind. The individual looked at Aria with such intensity, as if she had a grudge against her that could last a century.
Who was that person?"
It was none other than Leng Zhiqing. Upon noticing Aria\'s blushing, Leng Zhiqing\'s face grew even darker, and she began to think deeply about something. However, the exact nature of her thoughts remained unknown to everyone.
After dinner, everyone began to prepare for the day ahead. Chen Ying had an important business meeting to attend, so she had to leave. She also took Aria along with her to help her.
Before she left, Chen Ying reminded Chen Tian about the birthday party tonight and told him not to forget.
Leng Zhiqing, on the other hand, returned to her room for some unknown reason. Chen Tian noticed that this girl was not behaving as usual.
Chen Tian stepped back into his room. He walked over to his desk, pulled open the drawer, and retrieved a pen and a piece of paper. Next, he switched on his computer.
He began searching on his GooGoolo browser for any historical legends and myths that are in this country.
After searching for historical places for 30 minutes, he finally found a location that piqued his interest.
On his computer screen was a photo of a mountain located not far from his house, approximately one or two hours away by train.
"Mount Kunlun"
That was his next destination. He was going there in the hope of improving his cultivation.
