The Power of Convenience

...

...

"Chomp chomp... mm... chomp chomp..." At the lunch table, Lan Xiaoke blinked. "So, does that mean Qianshuang is going to stay over there for a while?"

"There is still a lot to do to rebuild the sect, after all," Ye Chuan said. Because of this, Qianshuang had recently only been coming home at night to rest.

"Isn't that basically like going to work?" Lan Xiaoke looked up.

So exhausting.

Working a job in another world.

As expected, being a pet was the most comfortable. All she had to do every day was act cute and play dumb.

Thinking of this, Lan Xiaoke felt she was incredibly clever.

Sure enough, she was the smartest one.

"With Qianshuang gone, I'm just not quite used to it," Luo Xi said, looking at the table full of food. After all, it had been prepared according to Qianshuang's appetite, so now there was quite a lot left over.

And Bai Qianshuang basically only came back at night to rest; it was good enough if she occasionally made it back for dinner.

"It's fine, just let Xiaoke eat it all," Ye Chuan said.

"Me?!"

"I suppose that works."

"No way!"

During this time, Ye Chuan hadn't entered any other worlds either. After all, as far as he was concerned, ever since he dealt with the Qingyun Sect on the Tianxuan Continent, there wasn't much left to do. At most, he just checked up on the situation at the Yuxu Sect.

So, Ye Chuan chose to rest in the real world for a few more days. There were still a few things he had to do every day, anyway.

Especially the sale of spirit stones, which brought Ye Chuan hundreds of millions in revenue almost every day.

And almost all of this money was invested by Ye Chuan into amplifying equipment, upgrading his alchemy furnace, the medicinal fields, the spirit-gathering array, the protective array, and so on. The consumption rate was at an absolutely terrifying level.

"I always feel like money just slips right through my fingers," Ye Chuan muttered to himself, looking at his wallet.

"What's bothering you, Brother?" a voice came from the side.

Ye Chuan glanced over and found Ye Yue looking at him with a beaming smile.

"What am I bothered by... I don't really have anything to be bothered by right now. I just feel like I need to find a way to improve my strength."

Ye Chuan had a lingering feeling that something big was going to happen. Although he didn't know why he had this premonition, thinking back to what Lilith had said before, he understood that his current strength was not yet truly invincible.

At best, he was just hard to kill?

"Brother, don't overthink it. Let's go out and have fun, okay?" Ye Yue hugged Ye Chuan's arm, bringing her face a little closer.

"Go out and have fun?"

"Mhm! Let's go for a walk," Ye Yue said.

Ye Chuan didn't mind either way, but he indeed hadn't gone out for a walk in a while. "Alright then, let's call Xiaoke and the others. Staying cooped up all day..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Yue's crimson eyes flickered. "Brother, the sisters all have things to do. Let's just go out by ourselves."

"Is that so?"

"Mhm-hm."

Seeing Ye Yue nodding like a chick pecking at grain, Ye Chuan let out a laugh. "Alright, just the two of us will go for a walk."

Hearing Ye Chuan say this, a hint of slyness flashed in Ye Yue's eyes.

To be able to go out with her brother today, she had just bought a new game for Xiaoke to play. She had also told Luo Xi in advance what she wanted to eat for dinner, prompting her to go out and buy ingredients. Qianshuang wasn't home, and as for Wang Yanran and Ke Ning, there was absolutely no need to worry about them.

Oh, and Lilith, her brother wouldn't be able to get her to move at all.

Today, her brother belonged entirely to her.

After simply changing their clothes, Ye Chuan and Ye Yue walked out the door.

"The weather is nice, so where do you plan on going?" Ye Chuan asked Ye Yue beside him.

"I want to go to the commercial street."

"Sure, let's fly over there," Ye Chuan said.

"Brother, I want to be a bit more normal... Walking or taking a taxi is fine," Ye Yue said instead.

A bit more normal?

Seeing the confusion in Ye Chuan's eyes, Ye Yue hugged his arm. "I want to be like a normal girl, just holding hands and going for a walk with my brother."

"Like a normal person?" Ye Chuan looked at Ye Yue's slightly scheming appearance and simply patted her hair.

"In my eyes, you are just a normal, cute girl."

With a single sentence, Ye Yue's face turned red, and the hands hugging Ye Chuan split into many tentacles, tightly wrapping around his arm.

"Alright, let's go."

Looking as if he had seen it all before, Ye Chuan led Ye Yue to the nearby commercial street.

They had wandered around here quite a bit. Perhaps because of the rifts and monsters, even the screen above the entrance of the nearby shopping mall was broadcasting news about monster hunting squads.

"Do you want to become a super martial artist? An Awakening Stone can test your talent!"

"Do you want the power to protect others? An Awakening Stone will lead you to the pinnacle of life!"

"..."

What the hell is an Awakening Stone?

After seeing this advertisement, Ye Chuan crossed his arms. "What is that thing?"

"Brother, I know about this. It seems to be really popular lately," Ye Yue said from the side.

"Really popular?"

Ye Chuan thought for a moment and sent a message to Wang Yanran.

After learning of Ye Chuan's confusion, Wang Yanran quickly replied:

Wang Yanran: The Awakening Stone is just a spirit stone.

That single sentence made everything clear to Ye Chuan.

Using spirit stones to awaken other people's cultivation talents?

To think they would actually run an advertisement like this, it was quite interesting.

"Brother, I want to watch a movie," Ye Yue said.

"Let's go then."

The two of them walked up to the fourth floor of the shopping mall, where there happened to be a movie theater. However, when it came to choosing what to watch, Ye Yue immediately locked onto a romance movie.

The Titani-Nico: Goodbye Nico Nico Nii

"Brother, let's watch this one!" Ye Yue pointed at the poster, her eyes lighting up.

"Romance?" Ye Chuan hadn't expected Ye Yue to want to watch a movie like this, but then again, Ye Yue was just a little girl.

It was normal for her to yearn for romance.

Unlike a mature adult like Ye Chuan, who would much rather watch Dora-B-mon.

"Popcorn and cola." Ye Yue quickly came over with a serving of popcorn and a cola, her small face full of excitement.

"Speaking of which... Ye Yue."

"Hmm? What is it, Brother?"

"Do you have pocket money?" Ye Chuan asked. It seemed he hadn't paid much attention to the matter of Ye Yue's pocket money.

"It doesn't matter, I don't need pocket money," Ye Yue smiled. "They just give things directly to me."

Did she distort their cognition again?

Although this ability was very convenient, Ye Chuan didn't want her to overuse it.

"Didn't you say it yourself? You want to be like a normal person," Ye Chuan said.

"You should use pocket money normally."

"Then will you give me pocket money, Brother?" Ye Yue leaned in closer, her face almost pressing against his. "Can I come and ask you for money every day?"

"You could, but wouldn't it be better if I just gave it to you all at once?"

"No, I want the regular kind."

Although it was an odd request, Ye Chuan agreed to it. "Then you can ask me for pocket money regularly."

"I'll give you two hundred thousand for today first."
