"Husband, husband, how did I do?"
Inside the inner world of the Spirit Nurturing Ring.
Mo Lianxing had transformed into the appearance of a Southern Mermaid, her entire body submerged in the celestial pool, with only half of her jade-like shoulders exposed. Her blue hair, like seaweed, cascaded around her, making her look enchantingly alluring.
Her fish tail coiled around Jiang Che's body.
Even Jiang Che had to admit that Mo Lianxing's mermaid form was breathtakingly beautiful, far surpassing the mermaids they had just seen in the underwater Dragon Palace.
"Ahem, your performance was just average!"
Jiang Che coughed dryly. Of course, he knew what Mo Lianxing wanted—the dragon-phoenix essence blood he had conjured earlier with special effects!
Truth be told, his system store did carry such essence blood, but the problem was... it was too expensive!
[True Dragon Essence Blood (Divine Transformation Realm): 2 million points per drop]
[True Dragon Essence Blood (Nirvana Stage): 5 million points per drop...]
There was a saying, wasn't there?
Money is for women to see, not for women to spend!
Even though Mo Lianxing had already bonded with him spiritually, he still couldn't splurge recklessly, right?
"Uh..." Mo Lianxing's lips twitched.
Damn it! She got played for free!
Literally. Free.
"Husband~~~ I'm still in the Nirvana Stage right now. After my physical body is reforged... if I could cleanse my spiritual marrow with a drop of Nirvana Stage or even Creation Realm True Dragon Essence Blood, reaching the Emperor Realm in the future wouldn't be impossible!"
The little ingrate refused to accept being taken advantage of and still wanted to push her luck!
"What? You want to transform into a dragon girl for me?"
Jiang Che feigned excitement. Sometimes, playing dumb was an art!
Mo Lianxing's lips twitched again. It seemed she had truly been played this time.
Those True Dragon and Phoenix essence blood drops were probably reserved by Jiang Che's master for his cultivation. Thinking about it, it made sense—True Dragons were incredibly rare even in the Nine Heavens, and each one possessed unparalleled combat prowess. A single drop of Nirvana Stage dragon blood was worth far more than top-grade spirit stones.
"Husband, if I transform into a dragon girl, will you give me a drop of dragon blood?"
Mo Lianxing batted her beautiful big eyes.
"No!"
"Oh~~~"
The woman stuck out her tongue. Cheapskate!
But after all, he was her sugar daddy. She still needed him for the top-grade Body-Shaping Pills.
Only after Jiang Che's spirit left did Mo Lianxing reveal her true nature.
"Pah! Miser!"
Mo Lianxing stroked her chin. "No, I need to find a way to make him cough up some gold."
She was quite annoyed, slapping the water with her fish tail.
"Damn this fish tail! If it weren't for the spirit stones, I wouldn’t even bother transforming into this thing!"
With a wave of her delicate hand, Mo Lianxing reverted to her original appearance—simple yet stunning enough to captivate the world.
......
Jiang Family Villa.
The moment Jiang Che stepped through the door, Yu Wan'er circled him, sniffing intently.
"Something's off! Very, very off! Jiang Che, why do you smell fishy? Did you go fooling around again?!"
Once it dawned on her, Yu Wan'er glared at Jiang Che with fury in her eyes.
Weren’t there enough girls at home for him to mess around with? Why did he have to go out and cheat?
The Jiang Family had every type of girl imaginable—peerless beauties, adorable lolitas, aloof domineering ladies, cold academic geniuses... even Su Mianmian and Huangdoufen, two catgirls!
Men really were insatiable beasts!
Faced with the fuming girl, Jiang Che remained utterly calm.
"That’s right, I did go fooling around—and not just with one. I fooled around with hundreds of tons..."
Yu Wan'er was dumbstruck.
Hundreds... of tons?
Did he go drive a tank or something?
She was utterly confused. What did Jiang Che mean?
"Jiang Che... you... you..."
Seeing her stammer, Jiang Che chuckled and scooped her up in his arms.
"Don’t hug me! You reek of fish! Get lost!"
Of course, Yu Wan'er was the classic tsundere—cursing Jiang Che with her words but wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, clinging to him like a little koala.
Holding Yu Wan'er with one arm, Jiang Che called out all the girls in the Jiang Family Villa.
The villa was massive—four floors with dozens of bedrooms. At first, it had been quiet, but now it was bustling with life.
After all, the family had grown!
"This place feels a bit small now. Once the Dragon Palace is built, I’ll set up a portal... then we can move in there."
Jiang Che’s words left Yu Wan'er bewildered.
"What Dragon Palace? I... I’m warning you, the Jiang Family is already big enough. Don’t you dare bring in more girls!"
But as she said this, her voice lacked conviction.
Though she wasn’t worried about her place by Jiang Che’s side, she loved him deeply—and every time another woman appeared, it twisted her heart.
Soon, Ye Mengyao, Qin Qiaoqiao, and the others came downstairs.
Now that the era of spiritual revival had begun, as Jiang Che’s closest companions—and with access to top-grade spirit fields and spirit-gathering arrays—their cultivation conditions were leagues above other cultivators in Dragon Country.
"Jiang Che, guess what realm I’ve reached now!" Qin Qiaoqiao rubbed her hands excitedly.
She had discovered her talent for cultivation was shockingly good. After practicing the Human Emperor Scripture for less than half a month, she had already reached the Heavenly Origin Realm!
"Oh? Mid-stage Heavenly Origin Realm? Qiaoqiao, you must have an extraordinary spiritual root. Tonight, I’ll help you cultivate... let’s aim for the Sky-Shattering Realm soon!"
Qin Qiaoqiao beamed and nodded eagerly.
At that moment, Mo Lianxing’s voice echoed from the Spirit Nurturing Ring.
"Your little girlfriend has a top-grade Water Spirit Root. With a supreme spiritual root and the dense spiritual energy from a top-grade spirit field, it’d be weird if her cultivation speed wasn’t fast!"
Ahem, a Water Spirit Root!
No wonder. Water Spirit Roots were great. Jiang Che nodded in understanding.
So it was a top-grade Water Spirit Root—that explained everything!
"Darling, could you do me a favor and check the spiritual roots of the other girls?"
Before, even though Qin Qiaoqiao and the others had been nurtured into ancient martial experts by Jiang Che, they hadn’t stepped into the cultivation world, so their spiritual roots remained dormant. Not even Mo Lianxing could detect them.
But now, things were different. Having cultivated the Human Emperor Scripture, their spiritual roots had awakened!
Mo Lianxing yawned and stretched lazily.
This damn Jiang Che was really treating her like a tool!
But for the sake of spirit stones, she endured!
Spirit stones were everything. For them, she had even sold herself. What was a little humiliation compared to that?
But when she activated her Insight Eye to examine the spiritual roots of Jiang Che’s harem, she was utterly stunned.
