I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character

Chapter 7: Qin Shi Meng

Ye Yong could only see the side of Qin Shi Mengs face, but it was still enough to make his heart flutter.

As a cultivator in the Seventh Layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Ye Yong had much better vision than mortals. He could see that Qin Shi Mengs skin was white and tender and didnt have any flaws. The curvature of her nose and the thickness of the corners of her mouth were so perfect that it was as if God had carefully calculated what would be the most beautiful proportions. She was a fairy.

Ye Yong could smell the beautiful aroma that Qin Shi Meng emitted. That, combined with her stunningly beautiful face, would capture the heart of most people.

Before Ye Yong had transmigrated, he had seen a lot of female stars, but none of them could compare to Qin Shi Meng- not even those that had plastic surgery.

This was an effect of being a cultivator. Their auras would be completely different than those of mortals, not to mention that Qin Shi Meng had a special bloodline.

For a moment, Ye Yong didnt want to give up on Qin Shi Meng. However, he got afraid when he thought about how the male lead would come into contact with Qin Shi Meng two weeks later. He said it before- there are many beautiful heroines, but he only had one life.

Liu Feng gave Qin Shi Meng a salute. Long time no see, Lady Qin Shi Meng.

Actually, we just met yesterday. Qin Shi Meng didnt move and just kept her eyes closed.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

Ye Yong was someone who knew the plot of the novel, and he knew how much Qin Shi Meng hated him. As such, he didnt beat around the bush and got to the point directly. Im here today to talk about the engagement.

Qin Shi Meng didnt react.

Ye Yong smiled faintly. Im here to cancel the engagement.

As expected, as soon as he said those words, Qin Shi Mengs eyelashes moved and she opened her eyes. It was a pair of eyes so beautiful that it would make people captivated the moment they saw them.

Ye Yong felt his reasoning get attacked. He was a mortal and not a cultivator, and not even Ye Yong, an actual cultivator, could resist Qin Shi Mengs beauty, so it was out of the question for him.

Ye Yong bit his tongue, causing blood to come out. He waved away all the irrational thoughts in his mind and thought of the vengeful male lead. I dont want to die!

Ye Yong took out the engagement cancellation letter from the storage ring and forced himself to look away. He no longer dared to look at Qin Shi Meng, because looking at her more could cost him his life.

Qin Shi Meng didnt know what had happened and just stared at Ye Yong dumbfoundedly. Engagement cancellation? Such a good thing? Could it be a trap?

Qin Shi Meng stood out, stretched out her hand, and took the letter. She opened it and saw that it was indeed an engagement cancellation letter. It also had the Ye Familys seal, so it couldnt be fake.

Because she had a really bad impression of Ye Yong, Qin Shi Meng thought that Ye Yong was scheming something. What do you want?

Nothing. Just like what the letter said, we are not fit for each other. Therefore, we should cancel our engagement.

Qin Shi Meng found it strange that Ye Yong was looking away and not staring at her like he usually did, as if he had been threatened. But the Ye Family is one of the strongest families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Ye Family Elders are all Nascent Soul Realm and above, so there shouldnt be anyone that could threaten Ye Yong

Could I be hallucinating from being too obsessed with sword inlightenment?

Everything happened so suddenly that Qin Shi Meng couldnt believe that it was actually happening.

Then, Lady Qin, farewell, Ye Yong said, leaving.

Qin Shi Meng was confused about what was happening. She took a deep breath and recited the Heart Cleansing Technique to try to get herself out of the illusion, but no matter how much she tried, the engagement cancellation letter was still in her hand.

Qin Shi Meng couldnt calm down, and she was both puzzled and happy. She took the letter and went to the Qin Familys discussion chamber.

The Qin Familys elders exploded when they learned that Ye Yong had given Qin Shi Meng the engagement cancellation letter.

Shi Meng! Why did you accept the letter? Why didnt you discuss it with us first?

Quickly catch up to Young Master Ye and ask him why!

The marriage between Ye Yong and Qin Shi Meng would be a great opportunity to strengthen the Qin Familys power. The sudden cancellation of the engagement was as if the opportunity that was right in front of him had disappeared, and they of course were unwilling for that to happen.

Shi Meng, what happened? Qin Shi Mengs father, Qin Feng, was also very nervous. He wasnt the head of the family- rather, he was merely a chamber master. Even though he had quite a bit of power, he wanted more, and Ye Yong was the opportunity that could give him more power.

I dont know. He just suddenly came to me, gave me the letter, said that we are suited for each other, and left, Qin Shi Meng answered.

Thats not possible! Who doesnt know that Young Master Ye likes you? Speak, did you threaten Young Master Ye? Some elders were furious.

I did not.

Shi Meng, this matter doesnt just relate to your future but also the familys future. I hope you think about it.

Qin Shi Meng sneered. Do you elders care about my future or the familys future?

Of course its your future! You can get way better resources in the Ye Family than in the Qin Family. Besides, Young Master Ye is a dragon among humans, and even if he cant get to the Great Ascension Realm, there is absolutely no problem for him to get to the Void Realm. If you follow him, then you might also get to the Void Realm.

The most powerful old man in the Qin Family was an Ascension Realm Layer Nine cultivator, while the Ye Family had three Ascension Realm Layer Nine cultivators.They even had a cultivator in the tenth layer of Ascension Realm in the Heavenly Luo Sect. If he could break through to the Void Realm, then Ye Family would be in a stable position as the number 1 family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Besides, even if they had the same number of powerhouses, the Ye Family had a way better reserve of resources.

Oh? Qin Shi Meng knew exactly what the elders were thinking. She was only 17 years old, but she was already in the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment Realm. If Ye Yong, who was even more talented than her, didnt exist, the elders wouldnt dare to go against her wishes as she was the most talented lady in the Qin Family.

The problem lay in the fact that Ye Yongs status and talent outshined her own.

Since you elders say that you care about my future, then why would you force me to marry someone I dont like?

Why do kids know about liking? Youll naturally like him when you get into contact with Young Master Ye more.

Quick, take this engagement cancellation letter and catch up to Young Master Ye.

Impossible. Chase after him yourselves if you want to. Marry him yourselves if you want to. I, Qin Shi Meng, dont need to really on a man like him to get to the Void Realm and the Great Ascension Realm. I can even get to the Saint Realm and Tribulation Realm! Our Qin Family should be proud of me and not see someone as better and treat me like a product.

How could you speak like that to your elders? Disrespectful.

Qin Feng, control your daughter. The elders were unhappy with what Qin Shi Meng had said.

Qin Feng understood his daughters personality, but being able to have a joint marriage with the Ye Family was extremely tempting, so he whispered, Shi Meng, listen. Go talk to Young Master Ye and ask the reason. Lets not worry about the engagement right now. We at least need to know the reason.

Hmph. It must be because this girl had been so cold to Young Master Ye and had been ignoring him that caused Young Master Yes heart to become cold, an elder snorted.

Its your fortune that Young Master Ye likes you. You dont even know whats good for you!

Qin Shi Meng has pissed. Are these people Qin Familys Elders or Ye Familys lackeys?

Seeing most of the elders speak for Ye Yong, Qin Shi Meng realized why Ye Yong canceled the engagement without any hesitation at all. It was just part of his scheme- he wanted to pressure her with her family!

With this sudden realization, Qin Shi Meng hated Ye Yong even more.

However, she was, ultimately, someone of the Qin Family. She couldnt just forget the kindness that the Qin Family had given by raising her. So under the elders and her fathers persuasion, Qin Shi Meng took the letter, put on a veil, called a few maids, got on a flying carriage, and headed to the Ye Familys residence.

As for Ye Yong, well, he didnt return to the Ye Familys residence. After leaving the Qin Familys residence, he went to Cheng Ying City, strolling through the streets as he observed this foreign yet familiar cultivation world.
