Small Fry~Small Fry~

After Ye Wangchuan finished searching Li Luo.

He finally allowed her to leave.

Hmm... no spatial ring was found.

But Li Luo still managed to produce twelve pills.

She must have a system space.

Otherwise, where else could she hide so many pills?

As for throwing Li Luo down again...

It's possible, but unnecessary.

After all, the difference in talent is only a few levels.

It's better to leave Li Luo with the impression that "as long as she offers Ye Wangchuan treasures, he will let her go."

This way, Li Luo can be motivated to provide more resources in the future.

Since Li Luo has a system, there's no rush to kill her.

Instead, the best strategy is to find a way to make her his slave and milk her system daily.

That's how to maximize the benefits.

"Alright, go ahead and climb," Ye Wangchuan said to Li Luo.

At this moment, Li Luo was lying on the ground, looking utterly defeated.

To avoid being searched by Ye Wangchuan, she had handed over all her belongings.

Yet, Ye Wangchuan still searched her thoroughly.

If only she had known...

She wouldn't have given away so many cultivation pills! Ugh! Villain sentiment points!

My heart aches!

Li Luo sat up.

She tightened her loose clothes and climbed a few steps on the 90-level wall.

Hmm... it's difficult, but she could manage to continue.

After climbing about twenty meters, Li Luo turned her head and asked Ye Wangchuan, who was standing still, "Why aren't you climbing?"

"My talent only goes this far; I can't climb any higher," Ye Wangchuan casually lied.

In truth, he wanted to send Li Luo away and stay alone.

This way, Li Luo wouldn't see him consuming a pile of Marrow Cleansing Fruit.

Such treasures must be kept hidden from the protagonist.

Otherwise, what if she decides to steal them?

But when Li Luo heard this, she pondered for a moment.

She had been tied up for so long, yet she could still catch up to Ye Wangchuan.

This proved that his talent was indeed inferior to hers.

And since she was already on the wall...

This was a perfect opportunity to taunt Ye Wangchuan and earn villain sentiment points!

Thinking this, Li Luo smirked and taunted Ye Wangchuan, "Haha, trash! Is that all you've got? Is that all?"

[Villain Sentiment Points +10]

[Current Total: 20 Points.]

Seeing that only 10 points were added, Li Luo felt a bit disappointed.

It seemed Ye Wangchuan had developed a tolerance to such taunts and no longer cared about them.

She needed to switch tactics...

As for praising Ye Wangchuan to gain sentiment points,

Li Luo had no intention of doing that!

Hmm... got it!

"Oh~ Can't go any further? The Young Master of the Ye family is such a small fry~"

"I never expected that someone from such a wealthy family like the Ye family would have lower talent than a commoner like me."

"Small fry~ trash~ so useless~"

[Villain Sentiment Points +100]

[Villain Sentiment Points +100]

[Current Total: 220 Points.]

Whoohoo! That's what I was looking for!

Seeing 200 points added, Li Luo's eyes lit up.

Apparently, Ye Wangchuan couldn't handle more aggressive taunts.

Too direct taunts had built up a tolerance.

Clearly, Li Luo's strategy was correct.

Ye Wangchuan maintained his cold expression on the surface.

But inside, he was starting to feel a slight urge to hit someone.

"..."

The next second.

Swish!

Ye Wangchuan willed a bag of Marrow Cleansing Fruit to appear in front of him.

The Marrow Cleansing Fruit looked like a dragon fruit but tasted like water.

Crunch.

Ye Wangchuan immediately started munching on the fruit, his cold eyes sweeping over Li Luo.

On the wall, Li Luo shivered, feeling a wave of malice.

Crap!

Ye Wangchuan is about to hit me again!

It's fine, it's fine.

My talent is higher than his; I'm the fastest climber!

By the way, what is Ye Wangchuan eating?

Li Luo squinted and took a closer look at the Marrow Cleansing Fruit.

The next moment, her expression turned horrified as she called out in her mind, "System, open the sentiment point shop! Go to the last page!"

[Marrow Cleansing Fruit]: ??? Villain Points/1 Piece

"!"

Li Luo swallowed hard, clicked on the Marrow Cleansing Fruit interface, and checked the details.

[Marrow Cleansing Fruit]

[Introduction]: Born from the only Marrow Cleansing Tree in the entire continent, it bears fruit once every hundred years, enhancing the talent of the eater. A 1-level talent user can leap to 99 levels after consuming one.

"!!!"

Li Luo's heart skipped a beat as she looked down.

Ye Wangchuan had already eaten three Marrow Cleansing Fruits!

There were still seven fruits in his bag, clearly planning to eat them all.

Wait, buddy?

The Marrow Cleansing Fruit, on the same level as the Nine Great Emperor Experience Card, is a hundred-year limited item on the entire continent.

You're eating ten at once?

And one fruit is enough to max out, so why eat ten?

Are you aiming for 999 levels?

Li Luo only knew that the Ye family was the top family in Chang'an City.

They were quite wealthy.

But she never expected the Ye family to be this rich.

Such treasures, which would cause countless sects and families to fight over, Ye Wangchuan was treating them like snacks!

And he was wasting nine of them!

In fact,

there was no waste.

Ye Wangchuan was munching on the fourth Marrow Cleansing Fruit.

At this moment, he could still feel his talent improving.

Although the maximum was 99 levels,

reaching 99 levels with difficulty and reaching it with ease were definitely different.

Ye Wangchuan kept munching on the Marrow Cleansing Fruits.

Until the tenth Marrow Cleansing Fruit—

Ye Wangchuan took a bite of the final fruit and found that his talent had stopped improving.

It had reached its peak.

Thus, Ye Wangchuan not only maxed out his talent but also concluded that:

Marrow Cleansing Fruits couldn't be eaten like meals; nine fruits weren't enough to fill him up.

Ye Wangchuan stored the half-eaten Marrow Cleansing Fruit in his spatial ring and smiled at Li Luo above him.

The next moment, he dug his fingers into the wall, propelling himself upward toward Li Luo at high speed.

Li Luo: "!!!!!"

"Brother Ye! I was just kidding! Just playing around! Brother Ye!"

"Really? Haha, then I'll play with you too."

Ye Wangchuan reached Li Luo's position, grabbed her ankle, and lifted her up.

Li Luo was immediately flipped upside down.

Ye Wangchuan chuckled and said, "What else do you want to say?"

"Could you be gentler?" Li Luo meekly asked.

"Sure," Ye Wangchuan cheerfully replied.

...

...

"Ahhh! Ye Wangchuan!!! Let go! Let go!!!"

On the wall, Ye Wangchuan was swiftly climbing.

His wrist was connected by a wooden ox tendon rope.

The other end of the rope was tied to Li Luo, who was wrapped like a dumpling.

The scene looked like Ye Wangchuan was dragging a meteor hammer while climbing a mountain.

Ye Wangchuan looked down and said, "I'm helping you climb; you should thank me."

"Please don't help!"

"Okay."

Ye Wangchuan said, then pulled off the wooden ox tendon rope from his wrist and tossed it down.

"Wait, I think you should still help me—"

Splat.

Before Li Luo could finish her sentence,

she was reduced to Li Luo paste.
