"Master, did you kill all these demons?"
Su Yu'er asked.
"Of course!"
Yi Feng replied.
"Then, can I join you?"
Su Yu'er clung to Yi Feng's arm, her eyes filled with hope.
"What do you mean?"
Yi Feng took a step back, eyeing her warily.
This woman...
Was she trying to steal his kills?
"Master, what I mean is, can you take me along when you hunt? I'll just watch from the side, and maybe you can let me kill just one," Su Yu'er said earnestly, holding up a finger.
Hmm.
If she gave it her all, she might be able to take down one demon.
As long as she killed one while following the master, they would be accomplices.
Then she, too, would be the mastermind who had everyone dancing in the palm of her hand.
What a delightful thought.
"Wait, didn't you say you wanted to buy those beads, as many as you could get?" Yi Feng extended his hand. "Show me the money!"
"Money isn't a problem, but you have so many here. I don't have that many Celestial Crystals on hand. Can I pay you in installments?" Su Yu'er asked.
Yi Feng stroked his chin.
Hmm.
True.
Ten thousand Celestial Crystals per bead, and there were three to four million beads here. That amounted to several billion. It was impossible for this girl to come up with that much at once.
"That's acceptable, but I'll need a deposit," Yi Feng said seriously. "And no refunds if you back out."
Su Yu'er promptly took out a storage pouch containing millions of Celestial Crystals and handed it over to Yi Feng.
Yi Feng smiled.
The weight of it felt so satisfying.
"Master, can you agree to my earlier request?" Su Yu'er asked hopefully again. "Just let me follow you."
"No!"
Yi Feng refused outright.
"Ah, don't worry, I'll definitely go back to gather the money. But before I do, can I stay with you for a while? I just want to follow you. Wherever you go, I'll go," Su Yu'er said, clinging to Yi Feng's arm and shaking it.
"No."
Yi Feng refused again.
Leaving aside the fact that this girl needed to gather money, did she think following him around would cost nothing?
Even though...
He now had a fortune, but one must never forget their roots.
Besides, this girl was so eccentric. Who knew how annoying she'd be if she stuck around?
"Master, I'm begging you!" Su Yu'er whined, shaking Yi Feng's arm vigorously.
"Absolutely not."
Yi Feng's tone was firm.
"Wuwu, Master, please! It's so dark. What will happen if you leave me alone? I just want to follow you. I'll do whatever you say!" Su Yu'er said, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Absolutely not!"
Yi Feng's voice grew stern.
This woman, with her nonsensical logic, definitely had ulterior motives.
Yi Feng was resolute.
"Master, don't you like Celestial Crystals? I have a special ability—I can find treasures!" Su Yu'er quickly added. "I've found many treasures for my uncles and masters before, and those treasures contained lots and lots of Celestial Crystals."
As she spoke, her sharp nose twitched. She walked over to a spot not far away and dug into the ground with her hands. A moment later, she pulled out a Celestial Crystal from the soil.
"See, Master? I'm not lying," Su Yu'er said solemnly.
Looking at the Celestial Crystal in Su Yu'er's hand, Yi Feng subtly raised his head.
"As a righteous cultivator, it is my duty to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. Leaving a woman like you alone in such darkness would be a grave mistake."
"You must stay, and you must follow me at all times."
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
