Yu Wan'er's Little Trick

"Achoo! Who's thinking about me?" Jiang Che sneezed, feeling as if someone was secretly talking about him.

His sixth sense was eerily accurate.

"Jiang Che, I love you! I want to lay a whole nest of eggs for you!"

Chi Nai wrapped her arms around Jiang Che's neck, her sharp fangs pressing against his skin.

As a descendant of the Crimson Gold-Melting Python lineage, Chi Nai was cold-blooded—her body icy like a block of ancient glacial ice.

Right now, her slit pupils had turned a deep crimson.

"Cough, cough... Chi Nai, calm down first. I’m going out for a smoke..."

Jiang Che summoned the Binding Immortal Rope and swiftly tied her up.

Once outside, Jiang Che wiped the sweat from his brow.

He had severely underestimated the instincts of the Crimson Gold-Melting Python—it was terrifying!

Ten times scarier than Ji Ningxue’s mother.

"I need to find a way to suppress her serpentine nature," Jiang Che muttered, wiping his forehead.

After rummaging through his system for a long time, he finally found a specialized pill designed to curb the instincts of the Crimson Gold-Melting Python bloodline.

And it wasn’t even expensive—just a few hundred thousand points. For Jiang Che now, that was pocket change.

......

"Cough, cough... Jiang Che, you’re out already?"

The moment he stepped outside, Yu Wan'er greeted him with a bright smile.

"Are you tired? You’ve been working so hard... Want a massage?"

Jiang Che yawned, eyeing the mischievous girl.

"Unwarranted kindness always has ulterior motives!"

Yu Wan'er’s smile froze instantly—her warm gesture had been met with cold rejection.

But for the sake of setting an example for her sisters, she forced another smile.

"Jiang Che, you must be exhausted. Let me give you a shoulder rub..."

But she immediately regretted her words when she realized she couldn’t even reach his shoulders—standing at less than five feet tall.

"Just spit it out!" Jiang Che said impatiently.

It was obvious Yu Wan'er wanted something.

"Well... I heard Sister Shen Yu awakened the Ten-Aperture Exquisite Heart? That’s an immortal physique, right?"

"Yep. What about it? You want one too?"

Yu Wan'er’s eyes darted away. "N-No, I don’t want that. I just... my cultivation speed has been too slow lately. I was hoping for a different immortal physique."

Jiang Che: "..."

Damn, straight-up asking for an immortal physique!

"You think immortal physiques grow on trees? They’re crazy expensive!"

Yu Wan'er instantly deflated. She knew she was being unreasonable—this was worse than asking for money. Whatever method Jiang Che used to obtain immortal physiques, the cost had to be astronomical.

"Fine... I-I don’t want it anymore."

[Hmph, stingy! You gave that mermaid an immortal physique without hesitation. Guess there’s no love left for me, wuwuwu~~~]

"Alright, alright, I’ll give you one."

"Who says I’m not generous?"

Jiang Che sighed. Recently, the Jialan Clan had dropped a ton of points, the old geezers from the Jiang Family had coughed up hundreds of millions, and even Chu Yuan and his little leechers had contributed.

His points seemed to multiply on their own—the more he spent, the more he had, leaving him with nothing but an empty shell.

"Go on, what kind of immortal physique do you want?" Jiang Che yawned.

"R-Really???" Yu Wan'er’s eyes sparkled.

"Have I ever lied to you?"

Yu Wan'er giggled, rubbing her hands together. "Any immortal physique is fine! I’m not picky—even scraps will do!"

Jiang Che smirked, though his smile carried a hint of mischief.

"How about... the Jade Vine Immortal Physique?"

[Jade Vine Immortal Physique: A supreme physique that governs the Dao of All Living Beings. Born with innate purity, harmonizing with the vitality of all things—an untainted physique without a trace of impurity. Boasts unparalleled cultivation speed and the easiest path to comprehending the Great Dao of Life. Also functions as a top-tier cultivation furnace.]

[Price: 300 million points.]

Anything related to the immortal realm was bound to be ridiculously priced!

"Jade Vine Immortal Physique? Are... are you sure this is an immortal physique?"

Yu Wan'er squinted at Jiang Che suspiciously. The name sounded sketchy—was he tricking her?

But she didn’t dare ask outright.

"Take it or leave it. This is a one-time offer—no second chances!"

"I’ll take it! Fine, I’ll take it!" Yu Wan'er panicked.

Jiang Che might be a scoundrel sometimes, but he wouldn’t deceive her. Definitely not harm her!

"Good. Let me tell you—the Jade Vine Immortal Physique is insanely powerful. It’s top-tier even among immortal physiques..."

Yu Wan'er tilted her head. She still felt like Jiang Che was pulling her leg.

"Here, give me your hand. Let’s awaken that physique!"

Yu Wan'er obediently extended her tiny hand.

The next second, the essence of the Jade Vine Immortal Physique surged into her body, violently reconstructing her constitution.

Yu Wan'er’s original physique wasn’t terrible, but it was mediocre at best—nowhere near immortal-grade.

The Nine Heavens was vast beyond measure, yet among its countless trillions of beings, fewer than ten possessed immortal physiques. That’s how rare they were!

Take Chen Ningshuang, for example. Before reaching the Divine Transformation stage, her cultivation speed had been sluggish. But after awakening the Ten-Thousand Tribulations Indestructible Immortal Physique, she reached mid-stage Divine Transformation in just half a month.

As for Jiang Che? He always claimed he’d just entered Divine Transformation.

"This—"

Yu Wan'er’s eyes widened as she stared at her hands. She could feel her body undergoing a complete metamorphosis—her meridians and spiritual roots were being reforged, while black impurities oozed from her pores.

"Eek! So gross! What is this?!" She flailed, her entire body seemingly coated in mud.

This kind of marrow-cleansing was usually excruciating—akin to being flayed alive. But Jiang Che, ever the kind soul, had numbed her pain in advance.

Immortal spiritual energy materialized from her spiritual roots, nourishing her body. In an instant, all the filth vanished from her skin.

Around her feet, green vines and delicate sprouts burst forth from the earth.

A scene of vibrant life, thriving in abundance.

Yu Wan'er herself had transformed completely. Her figure became even more petite and delicate, her skin now as soft as tofu, exuding a faint, sweet fragrance.

The Jade Vine Immortal Physique naturally carried the essence of vitality.

Though her height and appearance remained unchanged, her aura had elevated to a noble elegance—her very life essence had ascended to a higher plane.

But the most shocking change?

Yu Wan'er’s hair—originally black—had turned...

Green.

Yes.

Green.
