Chapter 1325: Letting Shen Qingge Gain a Bargain!

The meeting gift Ye Chen displayed before her eyes truly surpassed Shen Qingge's understanding of gifts. Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits—these could be given as gifts? Even if it was merely letting her choose one, it was still far too outrageous.

Shen Qingge stared at Ye Chen in astonishment and, for a time, did not know what to say. While she was still in the Shen family, the clan had originally prepared an ordinary Great Luo Dao Fruit for her.

Yet before she could obtain it, she had already left. The Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits Ye Chen had taken out were countless times more precious than ordinary Great Luo Dao Fruits. If she could obtain one, it would save her at least several decades of bitter cultivation. Yet… this was truly far too valuable… What could she use to repay it?

Shen Qingge's expression grew complicated, and her body stiffened in place.

…

On Ye Chen's side, he was about to open his mouth to persuade her when he furrowed his brows and raised his head once more. He saw a woman whose figure somewhat resembled Shen Qingge's, standing high in the air and coldly watching him and Shen Qingge.

Compared to Shen Qingge, this woman's full moon was a bit more rounded, while Shen Qingge's was more domineering. Beyond that, Shen Qingge possessed apricot eyes that made her entire person appear somewhat softer. The woman who had arrived above possessed a pair of slightly sharper phoenix eyes that made the auras of the two seem worlds apart. Most importantly, this woman's cultivation stood at the peak of Ancestral Immortal.

Therefore, in an instant, Ye Chen guessed this woman's identity. Shen Qinghuan. The original blind-date partner Immortal King Tuoba had found for him. At the same time, a system prompt sounded within Ye Chen's mind, confirming his guess.

"New compatible recipient discovered…"

"Shen Qinghuan: one million times!"

This multiplier left Ye Chen raising an eyebrow. One million times? Was it real? One had to remember that until now the only one-million-times multiplier he had ever seen belonged to his master Western Empress. And now another one had appeared? Were the daughters of the Shen family this fierce? One at eight hundred and eighty thousand times and one at one million times? Was the seed of this cheap father-in-law of his so powerful?

Ye Chen had originally believed Shen Qingge belonged to the type who was suppressed, possessing talent yet hiding it. Only now did he realize that this younger sister of hers was truly even stronger.

Yet the astonishment in his heart remained only astonishment. Ye Chen quickly withdrew his gaze. Because, with the eyes of one who had by now examined countless gifts, this woman was not a suitable gift recipient. Her cultivation as an Ancestral Immortal stood higher than his own. Moreover, she appeared extremely arrogant, proud, and disdainful.

Clearly, she was a little princess raised in luxury. It would be difficult to make her give birth to a heart of gratitude. Without a heart of gratitude, even one million times was inferior to Shen Qingge's eight hundred and eighty thousand times.

Therefore, Ye Chen only raised his head for a single glance before withdrawing his gaze and looking once more toward Shen Qingge.

…

On Shen Qingge's side, she remained immersed in shock and had not discovered Shen Qinghuan's arrival. Only when she sensed Ye Chen's gaze shift did she notice someone. She immediately raised her head and saw Shen Qinghuan.

Upon seeing this younger sister of hers, Shen Qingge's face turned cold. She deeply swept a glance over the position of the other party's chest.

Shen Qingge coldly turned her head and could not be bothered to say another word. She looked toward Ye Chen once more, lightly bit her silver teeth, and after expending enormous determination, finally spoke. "Fellow Daoist Ye, this is far too valuable. I cannot accept it!"

It was truly far too valuable and difficult to repay. The path ahead of her would be very hard; she could not drag Ye Chen down.

High in the firmament the arriving Shen Qinghuan's heart was full of pride. One of the two was an elder sister inferior to herself, and the other was a mud-legged fellow she looked down upon. This caused the gaze with which she looked at the two to carry a lofty downward glance. Yet when she saw the nine Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits lined up in a row, she still could not help her pupils contracting.

She could see it. This mud-legged fellow from the Nineteenth Realm intended to gift one of the Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits he had obtained to Shen Qingge.

Looking at that Multiverse Space Great Luo Dao Fruit, Shen Qinghuan's gaze grew somewhat complicated. The time of her own growth had precisely missed the opening of the Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruit secret realm.

Although both the clan and her mother's side had poured all their strength into helping her gather Great Luo Dao Fruits and she had obtained a full seven, she ultimately lacked sufficient luck and failed to obtain one of the space attribute.

She had spent a full seven years before thoroughly comprehending the Great Luo space laws of the Third Realm. She had spent so long, yet Shen Qingge could now obtain one with ease. It truly left her unwilling.

The original mentality of coming to watch a joke gained a few more twisted elements. She looked toward Ye Chen and discovered that this mud-legged fellow from the Nineteenth Realm possessed a temperament better than she had imagined.

His appearance was handsome, his posture upright, and he looked rather presentable. He was also willing to gift such treasures as Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits. Had she known earlier, she ought to have gone to the meeting herself today. Otherwise, how could she have allowed Shen Qingge to pick up such a bargain?

Yet in the end it was merely a single Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruit. Even if Shen Qingge obtained it, she would have only one and would never catch up to herself. Shen Qinghuan further anticipated Ye Chen's reaction upon seeing her.

Ye Chen had grown so obsessed upon seeing Shen Qingge, who was far inferior to herself. Now that he saw her actual person, how astonished ought he to feel?

Yet in the instant their gazes met, Shen Qinghuan did not wait for Ye Chen's obsessed eyes—only indifference. In the next second, Ye Chen shifted his gaze away. This caused Shen Qinghuan to narrow her eyes.

…

Immediately afterward, Shen Qingge also looked over. Shen Qinghuan revealed a disdainful smile. She was precisely mocking Shen Qingge for only being worthy of picking up the things she herself discarded. Yet when Shen Qingge saw her, she was also frighteningly calm, as though she had merely swept her gaze over a stranger. In the next moment, she withdrew her gaze and spoke with Ye Chen.

The manner in which the two ignored her caused Shen Qinghuan to narrow her eyes. Then she directly let out a cold laugh. "Shen Qingge, what pure and lofty act are you putting on? Your mother stole a man. As her daughter, you naturally inherited the same nature. Yet rest assured. This Ye Chen is one I discarded. You may take him with peace of mind. Let this Multiverse Space Great Luo Dao Fruit serve as your betrothal gift. In the future, you may also follow this person back to the Nineteenth Realm to live with peace of mind."

Ye Chen heard this and narrowed his eyes. He grew somewhat displeased. How had he become something she discarded? Why did this creature feel even more disgusting than Wang Xuanji?

Opposite her, Shen Qingge smiled upon hearing this and spoke to Ye Chen. "Fellow Daoist Ye need not grow angry. She is jealous."

Since Ye Chen had chosen Shen Qingge, he would no longer hold any expectations toward Shen Qinghuan, even if the other party possessed one million times. If he wished to obtain both, he would be destined to become a clown unable to gift either.

Therefore, Ye Chen nodded. "In the end, I still need to thank this woman. Fortunately, she did not come and allowed Fellow Daoist Qingge to come instead… allowing me to meet an even better person. This meeting is rare. Please, Fairy, accept this Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruit…"

Shen Qingge smiled at once upon hearing these words. She had also thought it through. She ought no longer to refuse. The happier she accepted, the more uncomfortable this younger sister of hers would feel. The faster she elevated herself, the more this younger sister of hers would find food tasteless and sleep impossible. Under such circumstances, she of course needed to properly make this younger sister of hers uncomfortable…

Chapter 1326: Who Can Use Only One?

Shen Qingge made her decision. She would accept the Multiverse Space Great Luo Dao Fruit. She truly needed to elevate her strength rapidly. Only then could she take revenge. As for Ye Chen's kindness toward her, she would remember it. Once her Longevity Bone revived and everything returned to its peak, she would absolutely repay Ye Chen a hundredfold.

At this thought, Shen Qingge's apricot eyes rested on Ye Chen, filled with gratitude. "Since that is the case, then I will not stand on ceremony and will accept this Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruit… In the future, Qingge will certainly repay Fellow Daoist Ye's kindness."

…

High in the firmament, Shen Qinghuan's expression twisted upon hearing Ye Chen's words. She was ten thousand times better than Shen Qingge. This man completely knew that she looked down on him and therefore only spoke stubbornly to belittle her and curry favor with Shen Qingge. A mere single Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruit—she did not care about it in the slightest.

While she was thinking in this manner, she saw Ye Chen below shake his head. "What does Fairy mean by this?"

At this moment, Shen Qingge was about to accept the Multiverse Space Great Luo Dao Fruit. Upon hearing the words, the hand she had extended stiffened for a moment.

Ah? What did he mean? Could it be that Ye Chen had only taken out the Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits for her to look at and display his strength? That what he truly intended to gift was something else?

If that were truly the case, Shen Qingge would not feel regret. After all, these originally belonged to Ye Chen. Yet she could not help feeling a bit awkward. Most importantly, Shen Qinghuan was still watching from above, making it even more humiliating…

The previously displeased Shen Qinghuan immediately curved the corners of her mouth. She had known it. How could a mud-legged fellow from the Nineteenth Realm possibly be so generous?

Even if he himself had no use for them, he would still sell them and exchange them for resources. He would never simply gift them away. This Shen Qingge had truly lost face in a spectacular fashion.

Yet just as Shen Qinghuan was about to laugh aloud, Ye Chen raised a hand. The nine Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits before him were all pushed forward and flew in unison to hover before Shen Qingge.

Under Shen Qingge's astonished and uncomprehending gaze, Ye Chen's face carried a gentle smile as he spoke. "What do you mean by a single Dao Fruit? How could I be so stingy toward Fairy Qingge? If outsiders saw it, they would think I was petty toward Fairy Qingge! Nine fruits—all nine are gifted! All of them belong to Fairy Qingge!"

Ye Chen had specially inquired of the system. Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits could also be gifted like pills, up to a maximum of ten at a time. This of course suited Ye Chen's intentions best. After all, Shen Qingge might not be suited to every type of law within the Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits. If he gifted them one by one, some might trigger critical hits while others might not.

Moreover, gifting them one by one was also troublesome; the further he went, the harder it would likely become to persuade the other party to accept. Gifting them all at once in a single package brought the shock to its highest point. Not only was it convenient, but the benefits were also pulled to the maximum. Under such circumstances, how to choose needed no further words.

…

The moment Ye Chen's words fell, the somewhat awkward smile on Shen Qingge's face instantly froze. The upward-curving corners of Shen Qinghuan's mouth also instantly drooped. What? All of them?

The preciousness of Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits was known to the entire world. They could allow a Golden Immortal to break through to Great Luo and directly reach the peak of Great Luo. Such treasures, and Ye Chen had actually gifted them all? Did Ye Chen no longer intend to live?

Shen Qinghuan's expression twisted. The value of this gift was so great that even she felt moved. After all, even if she herself could not use the Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits, she could still exchange them for vast resources that would bring enormous benefits to future cultivation.

What virtue or ability did Shen Qingge possess to obtain so many Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits? If she used them all, then would Shen Qingge's foundation at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm not surpass her own at that time?

It was fake. It was absolutely fake. Ye Chen was merely angry that the true principal had not come and was putting on this appearance for her to see. He absolutely could not truly gift them.

Most likely, once Shen Qingge declined a little, he would immediately take all the Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits back. Yes, it was absolutely like that.

Shen Qinghuan stared fixedly downward.

Did Ye Chen himself no longer intend to break through to Great Luo Golden Immortal? Moreover, why would Ye Chen do this? Even if it were truly love at first sight, he could not possibly disregard his own cultivation. Could Ye Chen be doing this to support her face?

Shen Qingge's face was filled with bewilderment. Yet she immediately waved her hand. "Fellow Daoist Ye, this is far too many. I cannot use them either…"

No matter what, she first refused. The preciousness of nine fruits already surpassed imagination. Their value was such that many Immortal Monarchs could not produce them even after exhausting their entire family fortunes. How could she thick-skinnedly accept them?

On Ye Chen's side, he did not speak aloud this time but transmitted his voice. "Fairy Qingge, you also do not wish to be looked down upon by your younger sister, do you? You also hope that after leaving the Shen family, you will not become a laughingstock of the Shen family but instead make everyone envy and be jealous of you, do you not? If you refuse, it will only make your younger sister believe I am putting on an act with you and look down on you even more! Shen Qingge, do you truly not wish to slap her face?"

This voice transmission left Shen Qingge's expression complicated to the extreme. Of course she wished to. At present she still lacked the ability to personally take back her own bones. Yet if she could strike a blow against Shen Qinghuan, that was of course good. Not to mention that no one liked being mocked or looked down upon. Yet this was truly far too precious…

Seeing that Shen Qingge was still hesitating, Ye Chen continued transmitting. "Your younger sister was clearly called over by that old… father of yours. If you live poorly, your father will certainly think of every means to make you return and may even invite the Immortal King old ancestor of your Shen family to appear.

“Yet if you obtain so many Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits, it will be different. You can openly tell them that remaining in the War God Academy allows you to live better than in the clan. Forcing you to return would only delay your path. In this way, even the Immortal King's old ancestor cannot force you to return."

Hearing these words, Shen Qingge was thoroughly moved. Yet the gaze with which she looked at Ye Chen grew complicated to the extreme. She could not figure it out—truly could not figure it out. Why was Ye Chen so good to her?

Face, substance—he had considered everything for her. Could Ye Chen truly love her? Yet looking across the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, where was there love of such high value? Yet if it was not love, what else could Ye Chen be seeking from her?

Shen Qingge's pair of apricot eyes gazed deeply at Ye Chen. In the end, her full and delicate body deeply saluted Ye Chen. "Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Ye. Qingge is endlessly grateful… In the future I will certainly repay you!"

Shen Qingge made up her mind. As long as Ye Chen did not wish to dig out her bones, then in the future, whenever Ye Chen encountered trouble in any matter, she would pour out all her strength and spare no cost to help Ye Chen and repay him…

…

Shen Qingge was a decisive person. Since she had decided to accept, she no longer hesitated. After expressing her thanks, Shen Qingge immediately raised her hand. The nine Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits, like a multicolored long dragon, were directly taken into her palm.

High in the sky, Shen Qinghuan bit her silver teeth tightly, filled with disbelief.

At the same time, a system prompt finally sounded within Ye Chen's mind…

Chapter 1327: That Ought to Have Been Mine!

"Congratulations to the host for successfully gifting…"

"Gift given: nine Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits!"

"Eight-hundred-and-eighty-thousand-times feedback in progress…"

"Detected that the gift given by the host is extremely important to the recipient, triggering maximum critical feedback…"

"Triggered critical hit feedback…"

"Feedback: six thousand Mixed Origin Great Luo Dao Fruits! Two of each attribute!"

"Mixed Origin Great Luo Dao Fruits: …"

Looking at the system feedback, Ye Chen's eyes immediately brightened. Previously, when gifting Mixed Origin Great Luo Dao Fruits to Hai Yunxue, he had still worried that after giving everything, he would fail to gather a complete set.

Yet now, in the blink of an eye, there were two sets. After using one set himself, there was still one left over. Eight hundred and eighty thousand times was truly terrifying and had not disappointed him. The extra set could be completely given to those beauties of his for use.

A single one could allow his Dao companions to possess abilities far surpassing ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals of the same realm. When he grew strong first, he could also drive his Dao companions to grow strong afterward. Absolute profit.

At this thought, Ye Chen looked toward Shen Qingge with ever greater regard. Shen Qingge had indeed not disappointed him and possessed a heart of gratitude. She was already like this while still a sickly invalid. What about after she recovered in the future? Her multiplier would absolutely be even higher than her younger sister's. He must carefully cherish her.

…

High in the firmament, Shen Qinghuan watched Shen Qingge casually accept the nine Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits and nearly crushed her teeth. Nine Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits—precious beyond imagination. That cheap woman Shen Qingge had actually obtained them just like that? On what basis?

She recalled that back when she herself advanced to Great Luo, the entire family had poured all their strength yet only gathered seven for her, and those were all ordinary Great Luo Dao Fruits. As for Shen Qingge? A mere waste had actually eaten better than herself.

Most importantly, Shen Qingge had obtained this opportunity from the very blind-date chance she herself had discarded. This left Shen Qinghuan even more unable to accept it. Those had clearly all been hers.

At this thought, she even directed her anger toward Ye Chen. Ye Chen had clearly intended to meet her for the blind date at the beginning. Since she had not come, Ye Chen ought to have directly refused the blind date. How could he casually accept a substitution?

Moreover, now that she herself had arrived, why had he not gifted them to her? Although she was no longer a Great Luo and could no longer use them, whether contributed to the clan or taken out for exchange, they could still bring her vast resources. On what basis had Ye Chen unilaterally gifted them to someone else?

…

Sensing Shen Qinghuan's furious gaze, Ye Chen's brows furrowed slightly as he raised his head. "Are you sick? Why are you glaring at me?"

Ye Chen had never been the type to swallow his anger. Not to mention that the relationship between these two sisters was poor. Of course, he would unswervingly stand on the side of the elder sister who had greater needs, higher development potential, and a heart of gratitude.

Ye Chen's words left Shen Qinghuan's expression even more twisted, with killing intent surging. A mere Golden Immortal dared to say that she, a lofty Ancestral Immortal, was sick? It was simply seeking death.

Shen Qinghuan's fists clenched tightly. Were this not the War God Academy, she would already have wanted to strike and thoroughly teach Ye Chen a lesson.

On Shen Qingge's side, she understood this younger sister of hers far too well. Of course, she understood why this younger sister was glaring at Ye Chen. A smile could not help appearing on her face. She spoke softly to Ye Chen. "Fellow Daoist Ye, that woman is glaring at you because she feels that the original blind-date partner this time was her, so the gifts you presented ought naturally to have been hers as well!"

Ye Chen frowned upon hearing this. Was this woman this deranged? Fortunately, the blind-date partner had not been this Shen Qinghuan. Otherwise, with an empty one-million-times multiplier that failed to critical hit, he would have been able to die of anger.

Shen Qingge's straightforward words and Ye Chen's disdainful gaze left Shen Qinghuan's teeth nearly crushed. She glared coldly at Shen Qingge and Ye Chen and spoke in a frigid voice. "Utterly ridiculous. I, a lofty Ancestral Immortal and the rightful princess of the Shen family, would care about these bits of trash? Only a daughter of a cheap woman like you and a mud-legged fellow from the Nineteenth Realm who has never seen the world would value them so highly. My suitors are each top prodigies of the upper five realms. To curry favor with me, their expenditures far surpass your imagination. How could a mere mud-legged fellow from the Nineteenth Realm and a mere nine Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits possibly compare?"

Shen Qingge understood this younger sister of hers far too well and knew the other party was merely being stubborn. She could not be bothered to answer Shen Qinghuan and instead gazed at Ye Chen with soft eyes. "Fellow Daoist Ye, if the one who met you for the blind date today had not been me, would you still have gifted these presents?"

Ye Chen smiled at once upon hearing this. He felt that this Shen Qingge's aggressiveness was also rather strong. Yet of course he needed to cooperate. Therefore, Ye Chen shook his head. "Of course not! If it is not Fairy Qingge, I do not want them! They are unworthy…"

Ye Chen's words left Shen Qingge smiling like a flower, her apricot eyes curving into slits.

High in the sky, Shen Qinghuan could no longer maintain her composure; her face was filled with fury.

Ye Chen actually dared to say she was unworthy? She stared fixedly at Ye Chen, killing intent surging. For daring to humiliate her like this, she would absolutely make Ye Chen die.

Watching the dog man and woman below sing in harmony and frantically attack her, she could no longer remain still. After casting a sinister gaze over the two of them, Shen Qinghuan clenched her teeth in her heart.

She would certainly make both of them pay the price. Then she coldly snorted once, her full and graceful figure turned, and she roared away. In only an instant, Shen Qinghuan's figure had already vanished. Soon she returned to her own divine peak.

…

Shen Wanshan waited here with his heart burning with anxiety. From time to time, scenes of his daughter being deceived and bullied by Ye Chen, giving birth to a child, and then being abandoned after the affair floated through his mind.

Now that his younger daughter had finally returned and he saw only Shen Qinghuan alone, he immediately furrowed his brows and urgently inquired. "What is going on? Why has your elder sister not returned with you?"

Upon hearing Shen Qingge's name, Shen Qinghuan could not help but snort coldly. "Shen Qingge's vision is short-sighted. That Ye Chen gifted her Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits, and she has completely devoted herself to Ye Chen. Father need not overthink it. Shen Qingge is living very well by Ye Chen's side and will not return to the Shen family!"

Shen Wanshan clenched his teeth upon hearing this. "A single Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruit? This Ye Chen truly is willing to part with it in order to keep my daughter! Yet it is merely a single one. If I pay a price, I may be unable to find one. I will go at once and tell Qingge to return!"

Shen Qinghuan coldly smiled once. "That Ye Chen gifted Shen Qingge nine Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits. Can Father find those as well?"

Hearing this, Shen Wanshan's eyes instantly widened. "Nine Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits? This Ye Chen only kept a single one for himself? This Ye Chen is truly willing toward your elder sister!"

Shen Wanshan felt somewhat shocked. Previously, he had only believed Ye Chen was currying favor and wishing to climb up through the Shen family. He had never expected Ye Chen to actually take out nine Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits as gifts. Paying such an enormous price clearly meant sincerity.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghuan's expression grew even uglier. Because she also felt the same way. Yet the more sincere Ye Chen was, and the more he paid everything the more uncomfortable she felt. Had it not been for her momentary lapse of judgment, those priceless Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruits ought to have been hers.
