Immortality Starts With Investment

The Little Demoness’s arrival shifted the battlefield’s dynamics. The Feather Transformation King and others darkened, unprepared for Ye Chen’s many Central Continent allies.

With the Nether God Holy Land’s Saint King joining, the top-tier forces were now even. As the Heavenly Emperor’s heir, where were Heavenly Emperor Hall’s people? Top cultivators clashing wouldn’t resolve quickly. Killing Ye Chen today was tough.

The Firmament Overlord Body clan’s Saint King coldly glanced at Ye Chen, then left without hesitation. Others followed. The Feather Transformation King gave up without threats, preparing to leave. Only his Saint wife glared at Ye Chen, her beautiful eyes burning with killing intent, memorizing him, before departing with her husband.

…

Enemies gone, Immortal City’s spectators were disappointed. But beyond that, they were stunned. The Heavenly Emperor’s heir was tied to the Nether God Holy Land’s First Divine Maiden? Sitting on his lap upon meeting—clearly intimate.

Yet it was Ye Chen’s first time in the Central Continent. Rumors surfaced: the Nether God Holy Land’s First Divine Son fell in the Endless Sea, letting the First Divine Maiden rise.

Now, it seemed his death was tied to Ye Chen. Likely, Ye Chen killed him for her. His devotion to women was intense. But it paid off—women stood up for him in danger. Such clout was staggering…

…

Crisis averted.

Feng Baiyu glanced at Ye Chen, exasperated, then retreated with his elders. War God Clan and Nether God Holy Land experts vanished into the void.

Ye Chen smiled at the Little Demoness. Her multiplier was still 2,500x, but she’d reached early First Heaven.

”Why’re you here?” he asked, arms around her slim waist. Her timing was perfect. As a Dao companion, her 2,500x doubled to 5,000x feedback—far better than Luo Bingling’s non-critical 4,000x. The War God Clan’s support didn’t faze him. They were after the Dao Cauldron. If killing him could get it, they’d strike without hesitation.

At her serious expression, she said, ”Senior Brother, I have something to tell you. Set up a formation to block all prying eyes!”

Ye Chen raised a brow but didn’t hesitate, pulling out an array disk. Not even Quasi-Immortals could peek. Before activating it, he glanced at Luo Bingling. Her face soured as his hand left her waist.

What was this? He ignored her for Gu Yunyun before, fine. Now, some barefoot woman outranked her? Any random stray, and she’s expected to yield her spot? When he pulled her onto the chariot, it wasn’t like this. She wouldn’t budge.

Luo Bingling raised her chin proudly, unmoving.

Su Yuxuan smirked, ”Senior Brother, fine, let this purple-haired sister listen…”

Ye Chen nodded, tossing the array disk. Instantly, the trio and chariot were enveloped, vanishing from sight.

”Junior Sister, are you heading to the Immortal Path to find…” Ye Chen began. But he was cut off.

In Luo Bingling’s shocked gaze, Su Yuxuan’s Qi surged, removing barriers. Maintaining her position, she cultivated with Ye Chen, sharing insights.

”I have much to do, but you’re my priority, Senior Brother. Ten years apart—where were you? I missed you…”

After over a decade, Su Yuxuan’s longing poured out in soft murmurs. The chariot’s seats were cramped, with Luo Bingling closer than Yi Qingwu last time. Inconvenient. But Su Yuxuan was unfazed.

Luo Bingling, witnessing this for the first time, gaped. She wanted to leave, fearing the fallout, but pride kept her rooted.

Even Ye Chen was stunned. The Little Demoness was wilder now, diving in despite company. More intense than before. Did she have such a kink?

…

Ye Chen wasn’t into it but indulged her enthusiasm. During, he asked about her recent life. She’d broken through to Mahayana over a year ago. Nether God Holy Land found a secret realm in the Immortal Path’s first realm to boost her strength, refining her nether qi. Hearing Ye Chen was in Central Continent, she planned to cultivate there and see him.

Confirming she had no urgent news, just wanting privacy, Ye Chen relaxed. He quietly accompanied her. In past dual cultivations, they weren’t confined to one spot or method. But with Luo Bingling staying, Su Yuxuan didn’t leave either, maximizing the limited space.

Luo Bingling regained composure, cultivating calmly, occasionally glancing at them indifferently.

A week passed. Their cultivation ended.

Luo Bingling, always composed, touched her face. Stunned, then furious, her eyes blazed with killing intent. Utter humiliation…

Facing her wrath, Su Yuxuan, unfazed, rested wearily in Ye Chen’s arms. What could Ye Chen do? He pacified Luo Bingling, saying Su Yuxuan didn’t mean it.

…

Luo Bingling’s icy gaze locked on Su Yuxuan. She did it on purpose. Even adjusting direction at the end. Once she got the Dao Cauldron, this woman was dead!

But then, something worse hit. Every week, Ye Chen gave her a bottle of Dao Charm Pills. Today was gifting day. Yet, he gave her pills to the barefoot woman!
