Jiang Ruoxu: It's all gone, completely wiped out

Mo Lianxing was utterly bewildered.

As a ghost, she should have passed right through Jiang Che’s body in her incorporeal state. Yet, she had actually made solid contact with him—the sensation... left her momentarily dazed.

Before she could even process it, Jiang Che’s large hand had already wrapped around her slender waist.

Mo Lianxing: “???”

But she wasn’t stupid. She quickly figured out the reason.

[Damn it! This guy actually has soul-manipulating magic? Why didn’t he say so earlier???]

With that, Mo Lianxing began struggling.

Just then, Jiang Che’s voice echoed in her mind through telepathy, “Don’t want the top-grade spirit stone anymore?”

Mo Lianxing: “......”

...

Jiang Ruoxu was annoyed. He had been standing with his back turned for over ten minutes, reciting the calming verses of the Human Emperor Scripture dozens of times.

Yet, he still couldn’t fully quiet his mind.

[I just don’t get it. What’s so great about that stuff between men and women? Is it more fun than showing off? More fun than cultivation?]

His little brother was suffering.

Just as his patience was about to run out, Mo Lianxing’s voice finally drifted over.

“Disciple... you... you can turn around now.”

At this moment, Mo Lianxing seemed... off.

Her gaze flitted away, avoiding eye contact.

Her thoughts were in disarray as she recalled the agreement she had just made with Jiang Che.

She had assumed that, as a spirit, Jiang Che wouldn’t be able to do anything to her. But who could’ve guessed... that his master would teach him such shameless techniques?

“Master... this...”

Jiang Che shot Jiang Ruoxu a glare, “Still calling her ‘Master’? From now on, change that—just call her ‘sister-in-law’!”

Jiang Ruoxu: “......”

Wait, what? I came here and lost my master?

And gained a sister-in-law instead?

You absolute monster! You utter fiend!!!

“Master, you...”

Jiang Ruoxu looked pleadingly at Mo Lianxing. Master... please don’t fall for this!

Mo Lianxing met his gaze with resignation.

Deep down, she was still resistant to Jiang Che. But now that he could physically interact with her soul, she knew he’d start making outrageous demands.

Even without a Body Reconstruction Pill, they could still... touch.

“Ruoxu, you should keep calling me ‘Master.’”

“Sister-in-law”... just sounded too vulgar.

Her words slightly mended Jiang Ruoxu’s nearly shattered Dao heart.

Thank goodness. If he really had to call her “sister-in-law”... he might’ve lost it completely.

“Here, Lianxing... the top-grade spirit stone I promised you. It’s engraved with a Spirit-Sealing Array, locking away all aura and phenomena—only the purest elemental spiritual energy remains...”

Jiang Che took out a top-grade spirit stone and placed it in Mo Lianxing’s hand.

Instantly, Mo Lianxing was overjoyed.

Cradling the stone, she could clearly sense the immense spiritual energy within. In the Nine Heavens, a single top-grade spirit stone like this could spark endless battles among cultivators, drenching the land in blood.

If not for the people around her, she might’ve even bitten it to check its authenticity.

“Thank you, Young Master Jiang...”

“Still ‘Young Master’? Don’t make me say it a third time!” Jiang Che’s voice was icy.

“Thank you, husband!” With her treasure in hand, Mo Lianxing had no qualms about calling him that.

A kiss for a top-grade spirit stone? Totally worth it!

She was already scheming about Jiang Che’s inheritance—no, his wealth.

“Brother... what about me? Don’t I get a top-grade spirit stone too?”

Little brother Jiang Ruoxu rubbed his hands together, looking at Jiang Che with hopeful eyes.

Jiang Che glanced at him and smirked, “What? Your ‘Show-off System’ doesn’t have top-grade spirit stones? That weak, huh?”

Jiang Ruoxu’s face instantly flushed red.

He wasn’t surprised Jiang Che knew about his system—he’d admitted it himself before.

You can mock me, but don’t you dare mock my Show-off System!

“Who... who said that? Of course my system has top-grade spirit stones!”

Jiang Ruoxu stiffened his neck defiantly.

“Oh? Your system’s that amazing? Then show me one!” Jiang Che taunted.

“Ruoxu, you have top-grade spirit stones in your system?”

Even Mo Lianxing was shocked. Had this disciple been hiding things from her?

He’s already keeping secrets from his master... sigh, how heartbreaking.

Then again, she’d also kept a few... ahem... ultimate techniques from him.

“Of course I have top-grade spirit stones!”

Jiang Ruoxu gulped and opened his system shop.

[Spirit Stone Fragment Box: 0.005% chance to obtain a top-grade spirit stone fragment, 95% chance for low-grade fragments, 3% for mid-grade, 0.1% for high-grade...]

[Price: 200 Show-off Points]

Looking at his remaining 2.8 million Show-off Points, the little brother gritted his teeth!

The odds were terrible, but he believed in his luck!!!

As a man blessed by the heavens, a 1-in-20,000 chance was child’s play for him!

“System, buy 10 boxes and open them all!”

With a wave of his hand, he spent 2,000 Show-off Points!

Just 10 boxes—and instantly, a golden light flashed!

Holy crap!!! He actually hit the jackpot!

Jiang Ruoxu’s eyes nearly popped out.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for your heavenly luck! Obtained: Top-grade spirit stone fragment ×1, High-grade spirit stone fragment ×1, Low-grade spirit stone fragments ×8.]

Hell yeah!

Instantly, the little brother was pumped!

Only 10 boxes to get one? That 1-in-20,000 odds weren’t so bad after all!

“System, give me 100 more! I’ll definitely fuse a full top-grade spirit stone this time and shove it in Jiang Che’s smug face!”

But... his hopes were dashed.

[Ding! Host opened 100 boxes. Obtained: Mid-grade spirit stone fragments ×4, Low-grade fragments ×96.]

Jiang Ruoxu: “......”

How did he go from godly luck to absolute trash so fast?

The whiplash was brutal.

Gambling was addictive—especially when there was a hidden dealer. With Jiang Che around, this was no different from online gambling. The house didn’t fear you winning; they feared you quitting!

“System, another 500 boxes!”

Jiang Ruoxu tossed out 100,000 Show-off Points without hesitation.

[High-grade spirit stone fragments ×19, Mid-grade fragments ×27...]

Jiang Che gave him hope—19 high-grade fragments at once!

But still no top-grade fragments.

“Dammit, is this system rigged? Scamming piece of junk!”

Jiang Ruoxu was fuming, cursing the system while buying another 5,000 boxes for an all-in gamble!

The 5,000 boxes didn’t disappoint—he finally pulled 2 top-grade fragments!

In no time, Jiang Ruoxu was completely hooked.

"Perfect! Just one last fragment left—gotta buy another 1,000 boxes!"

[Ding! Friendly reminder: Your "Cool Points" balance is down to 198. Keep flexing!]

Jiang Ruoxu: "???"
