Immortality Starts With Investment

”Yao Yuezhi is far too clingy—even wiped clean, she’s still sticky…”

Luo Bingling casually cleaned Ye Chen while wiping her own face. She continued detailing the dangers.

Watching her actions and tone, Ye Chen’s eyes widened. Her words lacked the former forced pretense. Instead, they rang utterly natural—sincere concern. Truly for his sake. Especially while cleaning him—no trace of disdain, as though perfectly natural. If her seclusion had honed acting skills this sharply—to fool even him. Ye Chen wouldn’t believe it. Thus, War God Clan maidens, once devoted, remained utterly faithful—body and heart wholly theirs.

This…

For a moment, Ye Chen struggled for words. Given her current mindset, she’d surely trigger critical hits. But as his Dao companion now. Only doubling—no criticals. When criticals were possible before, her heart and body elsewhere—none triggered. Pure paradox.

Among all women he’d known, only this little waist demoness never yielded a single critical—and never would. Absurdity defined it.

Luo Bingling noticed his fixed stare, assuming desire. She sensed time briefly, then shook her head. ”No time now. You must attend this auction. Many treasures benefit cave heavens—you can’t miss it. Buying everything might confirm your decline—no harm as long as we stay in the Immortal City. Humans hold dominance now. Myriad races talk tough—the War God Clan scorns humans—but none dare truly break rules and provoke human wrath. Safe within the city—even Saints won’t touch us.”

Ye Chen’s mouth twitched, unaccustomed to her constant consideration. Truth be told, he missed her former disdainful pout. And aren’t you War God Clan? Somewhat speechless, he voiced his confusion.

Luo Bingling hid nothing from him now. She revealed the elders’ orders outright.

”The clan wanted me to offer myself—to seize the Dao Cauldron from you. But I’m your woman now. Why give it to them? Is my brain broken? As for Dao Charm Pills—they crave those too. But that divine son’s talent is formidable—potentially your future rival. How could I aid the enemy… I’d feed a dog before him!”

She declared it matter-of-factly. Post-devotion, Luo Bingling had transformed inside and out, completely aligned with Ye Chen. His mouth twitched further. This little waist demoness was truly extraordinary. She severed ties with the War God Clan at light speed!

Ye Chen caught the resentment in Luo Bingling’s tone toward the War God Clan. He understood it. Anyone abandoned for profit—all to cultivate the divine son—would seethe. Luo Bingling was now his woman. He naturally felt for her. Especially since her combat prowess wasn’t outstanding, and her endurance was average. Yet she had devoted herself fully for three days, never leaving his side.

At that thought, Ye Chen gently stroked her head. ”There, there—it’s all in the past. No need for War God Clan resources. As for that divine son—his future achievements will never surpass yours. One day, you’ll suppress him with a wave. The clan will regret it bitterly and beg you to return.”

Luo Bingling shook her head with a wry smile. It wasn’t that easy. As a great clan, the War God Clan held abundant top-tier resources. The divine son enjoyed a first-mover advantage—his cultivation was already far ahead. Surpassing him was unlikely; catching up seemed impossible. But she said no more. The priority now was restoring Ye Chen’s cave heaven origin.

As Heavenly Emperor heir, diminished strength invited endless suppression—death remained possible. Fury sparked at the thought. ”Yao Yuezhi truly lacks restraint—draining so much. Even with it, she only beat Feng Youhuang. Against the Celestial Prince? Useless—she’d still need you, Husband. But don’t worry. My War God Clan possesses a treasure that nourishes cave heavens—they originally refused to offer it.

”But while teaching Yao Yuezhi a lesson, I contacted the clan. I told them to submit it for auction—let you bid high. I claimed I’ll demand it back. Will send it to them—profiting off you. I also specified several other useful treasures. The elders were delighted—all approved.

”Additionally, our Holy Sky Feather Beast egg nears revival. Pity the clan won’t risk it—they’ll reserve it for the divine son. Otherwise, I’d have them auction it too! The Holy Sky Feather Beast is our sacred beast. It accelerates its master’s cultivation, purifies and refines. Flight speed astonishes—it can bless its master. It instinctively seeks fortune and avoids calamity. Innate divine abilities of immense power—tremendous aid for our Body-focused clan! With it, Husband, your strength would return to its peak far sooner. Such a shame… the divine son will cultivate even faster once he claims it.”

Luo Bingling sighed.

Ye Chen’s eyes brightened. He had little interest in pets before. He was strong enough alone. But a sacred beast that augmented its master—intriguing. It stirred genuine desire. He resolved to watch for similar pets later—perhaps for gifting.

…

Ye Chen saw clearly: Luo Bingling now poured her heart entirely into him. She stripped her War God Clan without mercy, eager to funnel every good thing his way. No mere outward elbow—this elbow had grown crooked from the start. But Ye Chen approved wholeheartedly. He smiled at her. ”No need to fret over trifles. Even with a sacred beast, that divine son will never outpace you…”

Luo Bingling blinked. Ye Chen swept his hand grandly. Instantly, a cave heaven gate opened beside them…
