C21 (1/2)

In the morning, a thin rosy morning glow appeared in the east. The first rays of dawn mixed with the thin morning mist, lighting the mountains and rivers on fire.

”Phew, I've finally broken through to the fourth grade.”

After cultivating for most of the night, Ye Zichen's wish was fulfilled and a third crack appeared on the Blood Egg within his soul.

”No money.” Ye Chenfeng refused without even thinking about it.

If it wasn't for the unexpected harvest last night, he would only have a few dozen taels of silver left on him.

”You …”

Ji Qingxue was getting annoyed by the 'stingy' Ye Chen. She ground her teeth and said, ”I'll lend you the two thousand silver. I'll pay you back double in a while. Is that feasible?”

”I said that if there's no money, there's no money.”

”You … ”Why are you so stingy as a man? I didn't say that I won't return it to you.”

”Moreover, I even saved you last night. If it wasn't for me, you would have already been killed.”

Ji Qingxue was so angry after being rejected by Ye Chenfeng that she jumped up and down. Her impression of the timid and petty Ye Chenfeng dropped to the extreme.

”Alright, alright, alright. I'll give you two thousand silver, okay?”

As he looked at Ji Qingxue, who was burning with anger and had a determined look, Ye Zichen helplessly took out two notes worth a thousand silver and stuffed them into Ji Qingxue's hands, ”Don't ask me for more money before you give me the remaining seven hundred thousand silver taels. It's not easy to get my money.”

”Keep your money for the rest of your life.” Holding the two thousand taels of silver in notes, Ji Qing Xue said with hatred.

Ye Zichen shook his head helplessly as he watched Ji Qingxue angrily leave. He then continued to circulate the Soul Devouring Secret Art and devoured soul crystals to solidify his cultivation as a Rank 4 Spiritual Beast. He was preparing for the White Emperor Martial Palace's end-of-year examination two months from now.

According to the rules of the past, taking the top three places in the White Emperor Martial Palace would allow one to participate in the final examination of the Skyfire Martial House.

However, it was extremely difficult for the final exam of the Skyfire Martial House. If Ye Chenfeng wanted to smoothly pass, he would have to work hard in the remaining days.

”Ye Zichen, this is the clothes I bought for you. Hurry up and put it on so you can accompany me to Shiya's place and offer your birthday to Old Master Bai.”

Two days after Ji Qingxue disappeared, she knocked on Ye Chenfeng's door once again, threw him a set of gorgeous clothes, and urged him coldly.

Roughly two minutes later, Ye Zichen walked out wearing a set of expensive clothes.

Although Ji Qingxue hated that stingy Ye Chenfeng from the bottom of her heart, once he put on his gorgeous clothes, it was as if Ye Chenfeng had become a completely different person.

Ji Qing Xue's facial features were as distinct as a sculpture. A pair of deep eyes shone with a cold light. He had a tall and straight nose, and his medium lips were brimming with a dazzling smile that made Ji Qing Xue look at him a few more times.

”Ye Zichen, Xi Ya's father is the White Emperor City Lord, and her grandfather is also an important person in the Kingdom of Zi Jin. When we arrive at the City Lord's Mansion, you should speak as little as possible.” Ji Qingxue was afraid that Ye Zichen would lose because of his words, so she reminded him seriously.
