[Beep! Host has scammed Yunya, gaining 1.5 billion points.]
[Beep! Host has scammed Tian Chan, gaining 2 billion points.]
Hiding in the shadows, Tian Chan was completely dumbfounded. Why was this Jiang Che so bold? He actually dared to get handsy with her junior martial sister, Yunya?
Did he not know the difference between immortals and mortals?
Before becoming an immortal, a cultivator's essence was called the essence of life, but after ascending to immortality, it transformed into the essence of the immortal dao. This was the true difference between immortals and mortals.
What was even more outrageous was... he actually dared to touch Junior Sister Yunya right under her nose?
[Young Master Jiang! What is the meaning of this? You know full well that I am here...]
Tian Chan sent a telepathic message to Jiang Che.
[Oh right, I almost forgot you big guy were still here. Hurry up and get lost, don't ruin my mood.]
Jiang Che caressed Yunya's soft, boneless little hands, feeling a sense of shyness like a new bridegroom.
[Beep! Host has scammed Tian Chan, gaining 1.5 billion points.]
[Young Master Jiang, I came here this time to negotiate the purchase of the Life-Extending Immortal Pills with you. This matter is of great importance!]
[What does that have to do with me? Get lost right now, or I won't sell you a single pill. However, if Fairy Yunya serves me well... I might let her bring a few bottles of pills back for you for free. How about that?]
Jiang Che's mocking voice ignited the anger in Tian Chan's heart. She was a dignified Supreme Immortal Venerable. Who wouldn't respectfully call her Palace Master Tian when they saw her?
But she could do nothing about Jiang Che. After all, she was the one asking for a favor!
If Jiang Che really refused to give her the Life-Extending Pills, the blow to the morale of the many warriors on the Nine Heavens frontline would be absolutely devastating.
Despite her anger, Tian Chan still left through gritted teeth. She knew very well that Jiang Che couldn't possibly break through Junior Sister Yunya's defenses; in the end, the only one who would be broken was himself!
Immortals and mortals were different. Just as the saying goes: what else can you leave behind besides a pool of drool?
[Junior Sister Yunya, please... endure this hardship for now.]
Tian Chan lowered her eyes, her thoughts somewhat chaotic. She didn't even know how she walked out of the immortal boat.
However, what she didn't know was... Jiang Che wasn't afraid of death at all!
Not to mention that Yunya was merely a Third Tribulation Immortal Lord, even if she were a Supreme Immortal Emperor... our Young Master Jiang would still have a way to conquer her!
...
A few days later.
[Beep! Host has scammed Yunya, gaining 2 billion points.]
Yunya had been terrified these past few days, enduring both psychological and physiological pressure!
She never imagined that someone could resurrect infinitely. Of course... her state of mind at this moment was extremely complicated.
Her body had already betrayed Her Highness the Palace Master, but her heart absolutely would not. Her heart would forever belong to Senior Sister Chan'er!
"Fairy Yunya... now that things have come to this, do you have anything else to say?"
Jiang Che rested his chin on one hand and glanced at Yunya in front of him. At this moment, the woman was wearing a plain-colored dress, her black hair slightly messy, and her face revealed a trace of poignant beauty.
"I have nothing to say... You... you are indeed a terrifying person."
Yunya looked at Jiang Che, a psychological shadow faintly forming in her heart.
This man had died thousands of times in front of her, but every time he died, he would resurrect with full health... It evoked a heartfelt fear.
"Heh—" Jiang Che smiled mockingly and gently licked his thin lips.
It was a pity that Tian Chan wasn't here!
"Tell me, what do you want? I am very happy... you can make any request, as long as it's not too excessive."
Having learned from the past, Yunya didn't dare to mention a single condition at this moment. She only wanted to silently increase Jiang Che's affection for her, and then secretly help Senior Sister Chan'er.
Seeing that Yunya remained silent, Jiang Che shook his head and took out a huge jade bottle resembling a gourd. "You served me well. I'm rewarding you with this bottle of Life-Extending Pills."
Yunya numbly took the jade bottle, feeling a burst of sorrow in her heart. This kind of thing where she exchanged her dignity for benefits... was almost about to destroy her dao heart!
But soon, she was dumbfounded. This jade bottle full of Life-Extending Pills... were impressively all top-grade Life-Extending Pills!
Top-grade Life-Extending Pills, each one could increase one's lifespan by ten thousand years, and there were at least 150 of them in this jade bottle. So many Life-Extending Pills... was she really worth this many pills?
"Young Master Jiang, I... I..."
So many pills were enough to buy her life!
It was indeed no exaggeration. Even though she was a Third Tribulation Immortal Lord... there were at least one or two hundred Third Tribulation Immortals in the Nine Heavens. This contained one and a half million years of lifespan!
Whoever obtained this would practically achieve eternal life.
"If you lack pills in the future... you can come find me. For a price, of course!" Jiang Che grinned.
To put it bluntly, it was paying for services.
Yunya remained silent, just staring blankly at the pills in her hands.
So many top-grade Life-Extending Pills were enough to temporarily relieve Senior Sister Chan'er from her predicament.
Thinking about it this way, this transaction was actually very cost-effective!
She still had self-awareness. Although she was somewhat attractive, she was definitely not worth these pills.
Not to mention one hundred and fifty top-grade Life-Extending Pills, even if just one was taken out... those fairies in the Nine Heavens whose lifespans were drying up would probably fight tooth and nail for it.
This was the terrifying aspect of lifespan; everyone feared death!
"Young Master Jiang... a-after this, if I accompany you, can I still get this many pills?"
Yunya asked with a trembling voice.
"Baby, weren't you dreaming just now? Why are you starting to dream again?" Jiang Che smiled lightly. "I am a businessman, and everything here has a clearly marked price. From now on, I can offer at most the price of 1 top-grade Life-Extending Pill per time. That should be fair to you, right?"
One pill???
As expected, she was being overly optimistic. If he could give her over a hundred pills every time... she could easily earn enough Life-Extending Pills, and Senior Sister Chan'er wouldn't have to expend so much mental effort.
Between over a hundred pills and just one... the huge sense of disparity made her feel very depressed, but being able to give one top-grade Life-Extending Pill was already not bad.
Thinking about this, bitterness welled up in her heart.
"Young Master Jiang, thank you. I will serve you well from now on."
Yunya knew very well that she had no turning back. She could only help Senior Sister Chan'er by sacrificing herself.
If she could earn ten top-grade Life-Extending Pills from Jiang Che in one day, then in a hundred days, that would be a thousand pills!
If she worked a little harder, she could completely rely on herself to help Senior Sister Chan'er solve her problems.
Moreover, as a Third Tribulation Immortal Lord, she could briefly affect the flow of time. At worst, she could just compress the time flow to complete the tasks.
"Young Master Jiang! Without further ado, I will show my utmost sincerity. I hope you... keep your word."
The negotiation was successful. Yunya was about to start desperately working to earn immortal pills.
[As long as I can share Senior Sister Chan'er's burdens, I am willing to go through a mountain of swords and a sea of flames!]
Jiang Che swore that Fairy Yunya was absolutely the most hardworking fairy he had ever seen... bar none!
[Sys... System, I need emergency backup! I can't keep getting my Immortal Origin squeezed dry like this. Do you have a better solution?]
Jiang Che was truly terrified!

rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot?

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
