Heart of the Nine Heavens Jiang Che Turns Vegetarian

Ye Mengyao was naturally thrilled. If she could grow stronger quickly, one day she could stand by Jiang Che's side and support him! Instead of just being a decorative vase in his harem like she was now.

Never underestimate a young lady's competitive spirit!

"Of course, you are the reincarnation of the Supreme Being. Though you may not possess exceptional spiritual roots or physique, you are undoubtedly the most compatible candidate for the Supreme Indifference Scripture."

"Mhm! But... if I cultivate the Supreme Indifference Scripture created by her and follow her path, won't I just be imitating her? How could I ever surpass her?"

Ye Mengyao bit her delicate lip. It was like... copying a top student's exam answers—could you possibly score higher than them?

"My dear Yao Yao, that's entirely up to you. 'Learn from me to live, imitate me to die!' If you wish to transcend the Supreme Being, you must forge your own Path of Indifference. I can't help you with that."

Jiang Che gently patted Ye Mengyao's snow-white shoulder.

[Dao Stone: Can condense the strongest personal Dao—the stronger the Dao Heart, the mightier the Dao formed.]

[Price: 1 billion points.]

Sigh~ Better keep it for now. In the end, Jiang Che alone bore all the burdens.

"Mhm! Hubby, I won’t let you down!"

Ye Mengyao’s gaze grew even more determined.

......

Jiang Che and Ye Mengyao spent a full week in their own little world before finally emerging from the Dragon Palace.

Though it was currently Ye Mengyao’s "season," Jiang Che couldn’t play favorites. Having mastered the laws of time, he had plenty of it to lavish on all his women.

His week inside was merely two days in the outside world.

"Wuwu~ Young Master Jiang Che... you’re here!"

The little mermaid Qing'er wagged her tail and threw herself into Jiang Che’s arms, sniffing at him eagerly.

Before becoming Jiang Che’s woman, she had been full of disdain for him—but now, the contrast couldn’t be more extreme.

"Tch, little vixen... no, little fish demon!" Yu Wan'er grumbled from the sidelines, arms crossed.

[No way, I need to secretly learn how these little green-tea bitches seduce men!]

Yu Wan'er clenched her small fists. She was starting to sense it... the tsundere brat archetype just wasn’t cutting it anymore. She had to adapt!

She refused to become some neglected, pitiful side character.

"Young Master Jiang Che, you’ve arrived. Would you like Xue'er to give you a massage?" Xue'er and several other mermaids crowded around him.

Each had a figure that was either bewitchingly alluring or pure yet irresistibly tempting.

[Ugh! Hope they shake right off! I hate big-chested girls!!!]

Yu Wan'er glanced down at her own modest proportions and felt even more frustrated.

She wanted to learn their seduction techniques, but how could she? She didn’t even have the hardware for it! Was that her fault?

"By the way, where’s your princess?" Jiang Che pinched Qing'er’s soft, delicate cheeks.

"Princess? She... hasn’t been in a good mood lately. Word from the sea clans is that the Nine Heavens Jialan Clan is preparing to abandon her."

"Oh? Abandon her? Her mother is the Jialan Empress..." Jiang Che frowned.

"Her Majesty hasn’t left seclusion. But Young Master... my royal bloodline has stirred the Jialan Clan. If I wanted... I could go to the Nine Heavens and replace Jia Ling'er as the new princess, hehe~"

Qing'er planted her hands on her hips, looking smug.

"That is pretty rough. But let’s leave her to stew a bit longer..."

A proud princess needed to have that pride thoroughly worn down first.

After all, Jia Ling'er’s greatest source of pride was her royal bloodline—but now, Qing'er, after her transformation, had purer royal blood than her. It was a massive blow to her ego.

But let’s not forget, Jiang Che’s system had methods to further purify royal blood, even reaching the level of the primordial mermaid lineage.

Jiang the Angler fishes—only the willing take the bait!

In the end, she’d become his woman anyway. Spending on his own women... was just a practical investment.

......

"Young Master, during this time... many powerful figures from various races have descended through the Nine Heavens’ altars. Their numbers are staggering—just peak Divine Transformation experts alone number in the hundreds..."

Qiu Lin approached Jiang Che and reported respectfully.

"Oh? That fast?" Jiang Che raised an eyebrow.

Qiu Lin nodded. Of course it’s fast! Young Master, you’ve been holed up in the Dragon Palace, indulging day and night, completely oblivious to the outside world!

"Young Master, over a hundred factions and races have requested an audience. I’ve temporarily housed them outside the Dragon Palace... Should I arrange a meeting?"

Jiang Che frowned. A hundred factions? Are they insane?

He wasn’t some emperor holding court for foreign envoys!

"Tell them to scram!"

"Young Master, many of the major clans... have brought beauties as gifts to facilitate negotiations," Qiu Lin whispered.

Ahem. "Tell them to come see me. Now!"

Qiu Lin: "......"

"Young Master, which faction would you like to meet with first?"

Jiang Che shot him a look. "Do I look like I have time to see them one by one?"

Qiu Lin immediately bowed. "Understood. The Destiny Envoy Association has sent down several lovely Chosen Maidens. The elders of the Qingqiu Fox Clan also brought a stunning descendant..."

"Many other clans have also brought beauties. A rough estimate... puts the number at over three hundred."

Cough!

Jiang Che choked. How many?!

Three hundred?!

Honestly, he was sweating bullets.

Did they think he was some kind of breeding stallion?!

Three hundred women—even the Great Sun Sacred Body would crumble under that! And with so many, quality was bound to be inconsistent.

Even if these girls were all decent-looking, Jiang Che’s standards had skyrocketed by now.

The Supreme Indifference Immortal had fallen into his clutches—a true immortal!

He could barely keep up with the women he already had; his harem was practically a powder keg. Where would he find the energy to chase more?

"Send them away too. Out of sight, out of mind!"

Jiang Che waved dismissively. He was genuinely annoyed.

Sometimes, sneaking a taste of the forbidden fruit was exhilarating—but drowning in an ocean of flowers? That just killed the thrill.

The wife is never as enticing as the mistress, the mistress pales next to the stolen, and the stolen can’t compare to the unattainable.

Qiu Lin was stunned. Had Young Master turned over a new leaf?

Had he... gone vegetarian?

"Oh, Young Master! There’s something important I forgot to mention!"

Qiu Lin suddenly spoke urgently.

"Go on."

"The spatial barrier between the mortal realm and the Nine Heavens is weakening. After descending, the Destiny Envoy Association installed something called the Nine Heavens Core in the mortal world."

Nine Heavens Core?

Jiang Che’s expression shifted slightly. He wasn’t unfamiliar with it.
