Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 144: No! He Is Too Fat!
As Li Mei faced the trial of echoing reflection, the fake Li Mei pointed at good and bad things that happened because of her unknown actions.
Everything was still fine, as most of it was related to her mortal life but it didn't take too long, and things took a dramatic turn.
"Look! He is Ye Chen, who abandoned you just because you did not resist! Did not stop him from philandering and chasing others! In the future he will do the same with you," the fake Li Mei stated as she glanced at the real one with pity.
Feeling her gaze, Li Mei couldn't help but shiver, especially after seeing the illusion of Ye Chen, who did not care about her and even left her alone without any mercy.
Although she understood this was not real, it still hurt her, but she did not say anything.
"Oh, Li Mei, don't tell me this really shattered your heart? You have known all along that your senior brother just wants your body and once he gets that, you will be useless to him, yet you are still stupidly relying on him," the fake one continued to mock.
While hearing her, Li Mei's eyes flashed with emptiness, and she sighed deeply.
"If senior brother really wants my body, then I would still be useful to him, but the reality is senior brother just does not care," she replied with a hint of bitterness as she recalled how Ye Chen rejected many women from a mile away.
Maybe it was because they were not as pretty as her but as long as he lifts a finger, hundreds of women will flock around him. Furthermore, who was she? Just a little talented female disciple from the mortal world. If he was really after her body, then he wouldn't be helping her and even giving her a special physique, which appears in ten thousand years.
Not to mention he had many chances of making a big move on her, especially when they started sleeping together. At that time her mind was messed up with strange thoughts and she really wouldn't be able to say no if he tried something, but did he?
"Wait, wait, wait! You are thinking wrongly! Look, all Ye Chen wants is to mess around with other women and accept no anger, jealousy, or resistance from any of you! Don't you think this is wrong?!" the fake Li Mei saw through her thoughts and screamed.
"You are right… Senior brother is wrong. But he is a bad guy so that's just who he is. However, it does not mean he is forcing anyone… Well, except for me." Li Mei replied with a pout and continued.
"Even so, I find this better than getting a cold eye from senior brother. Maybe I was like this from the day I met him," she added with a red face as she somehow recalled Ye Chen standing naked in the retreat room with a shameless smile.
"You!" the fake Li Mei was speechless and before she could speak, something shattered the illusion.
With nothing stopping her, Li Mei climbed the next step, facing similar scenarios where the fake one pointed out what her actions might cause.
However, Li Mei remained calm and cleared such trials without any problem. Of course, she did feel jealous knowing what her senior brother's future might be, but she did not have any thoughts of monopolizing him.
Especially since she understood his speed of cultivation as well as how useless she was to him. Maybe in the future this will change but at that time Ye Chen might already be fighting against heavens so all she could do is let go of such thoughts.
As for unfairness? Yes, it was unfair for her but still it was better than not getting any love and care from him.
…
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
"Again? How is this possible?" The old man Yang Wuji muttered with a puzzled look as suddenly a few disciples got stuck in the condition of heart realm entrapment.
They were none other than Li Zhenyuan, Xue Feng, Zhu Dong, and a few others.
"It's all empty." Ye Chen shook his head helplessly as his divination method failed to look at what was causing this.
"Empty? Are you sure?" The old man became stunned after hearing him and hurriedly made a few hand symbols to divine.
Lin Xian'er didn't understand what they were doing but she also made a few random hand symbols, wondering to see what would happen.
Just as she was doing this, the old man frowned as he got the same results as Ye Chen. Then his frown only got harder as he thought of a few things.
'Is that thing interfering with the trial? But why?' He thought with a baffled look.
Ye Chen saw the old man figuring out something, but he did not inquire, as he made a guess that this was done on purpose.
'Looks like the inheritance is not so simple,' he thought to himself while patting the little girl's head, who was disappointed at how nothing happened when she made hand symbols.
Nonetheless, it didn't take too long, and her attention was focused on Li Mei, who was about to clear the trial.
…
"Only nine hours remained and a few more people got enlightenment, even Ye Chen's enemy!"
"Damn it, I should've climbed slower; at that rate I might also be enlightened rather than failing!"
"Humph, idiot, don't you see that only talented disciples are getting enlightened? I don't think you have any so stop dreaming!"
"Yeah, there are still many others failing, and I have noticed it's because of their talents."
…
"Old man, what are the next trials? Is it related to talent?" Ye Chen inquired as he also noticed this.
The old man, of course, saw this too and hesitated a little before replying.
"The next trial could be considered related to talent; however, not entirely, as even you can fail," he explained.
Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded with a thoughtful look and then, before he could inquire further, the little girl started to tug him.
"Brother Ye Chen, look! Sister Li Mei is at the last step! Let's go, we should welcome her," she suggested, her eyes filled with excitement.
Watching her like this, Ye Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Aren't you too excited for someone who is not related to you?" He questioned as he let the little girl lead him.
"Humph! How is Sister Li Mei not related to me? I am the admirer of demonic Ye Chen, which also means I admire everyone besides you, even your junior sister!" The little girl stated with a snort.
"I see. Then what about Fatty? Do you admire him too?"
"No! He is too fat!"
"What about Crown Prince Ji Feng?"
"Hmm? Is he your friend? But I still won't because I hate this kingdom! They forced me to study in school and it was the most terrorizing thing I have experienced!"

"Hiss! This is really the most difficult and suffering past I have ever heard."
"Really? I told same thing to Sister Jiarong and others but all they did was laugh at me."
"What?! Did someone really laugh at your terrifying past? Then they must be a demon because only demons can laugh at the suffering of a little girl."
"Senior brother! What are you teaching that kid?!"
Just as Ye Chen was busy leading the little girl astray, Li Mei cleared the final trial only to see him doing bad things.
"Xiao Mei I am your lovely senior brother. How could you shout at me like this when I am just teaching bad things to someone?"
"That's why I shouted!"
"Does that mean I am a bad guy in your eyes?"
"Don't you know yourself?"
"Then you won't mind if I bully you, right?"
"Grrr, I will bite you!"
…
"Cough! Cough! You two, there is a child here." The old man Yang Wuji had no choice but to intervene as he saw Ye Chen taking Li Mei in his arms before starting to flirt in their love language.
Only after hearing the old man's words did Li Mei remember where she was and her face turned red, especially since she saw Lin Xian'er covering her eyes with small hands but there were few gaps from where she was spying on everything.
"Senior brother, it's all your fault," she whispered with a resentful look and hurriedly separated from him.
"Umm, Sister Li Mei, do you know that you can't hide behind me?" Lin Xian'er said as she saw Li Mei standing behind, thinking of her as some big pillar.
"I-I'm not hiding! Also forget everything that guy said: he is not a good person," Li Mei replied with a pout.
Watching her like this, Lin Xian'er couldn't help but laugh inwardly; however, she did not expose her and nodded with a serious look.
"Don't worry, I was just testing if he was a bad person or not and since he is, I won't even listen to a word from him," she assured with confidence.
