Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 665: Youʼre a Good Man!

”Fairy Lan, letʼs fight!” Ye Chenʼs battle intent surged.

Spectators, buzzing about the Minor Space Technique he gifted so solemnly, gaped, eyes glued. The two on the sky battlefield were this eraʼs top prodigies, unmatched. Their clash would be earth-shaking. Unmissable. Now starting, the crowd buzzed with excitement.

…

Lan Nuo, planning excuses, felt Ye Chenʼs rising intent. Startled, her aura erupted reflexively, boundless power surging, chaos qi swirling around her. She seemed an ancient goddess, chaotic and ethereal. But inwardly, she panicked. A real fight? Should she unleash her Heavy Pupil Pure Land to block prying eyes?

As she pondered, Ye Chen spoke gravely, ”Ten years apart, Fairy Lan, youʼre even more stunning! In this fight, Iʼll hold nothing back. But on the Immortal Path, past prodigies and sealed ancients await. I donʼt want my trump cards exposed. So, Iʼll set up an array to block all prying!”

His words caused an uproar. He dismissed this eraʼs prodigies, eyeing only past ones or ancient monsters sealed in divine sources for the Immortal Path. Such arrogance. Most shocking—he, already monstrous, had hidden trump cards? He was defying the heavens.

Spectators grumbled. Theyʼd traveled far to watch. No view? Unfair.

Lan Clan frowned. They doubted Lan Nuoʼs chances, ready to intervene. An array could risk her safety. Who knew if Ye Chenʼs array was safe?

But anxious Lan Nuo, hearing this, relaxed instantly, saying without hesitation, ”I also want to see your true strength. Please, set up the array!”

Her agreement stunned the crowd. Letting Ye Chen block all view—how confident was she?

Lan Clan members exchanged looks, unsure if they should stop her.

Ye Chenʼs lips curved. He deployed the array disk, instantly cloaking them, hiding them from sight.

Lan Clanʼs Immortal City fell silent. Even Saint Kingsʼ divine senses couldnʼt pierce the array. The scene wasnʼt what theyʼd expected. Yet no one left.

Lan Nuoʼs strength was unclear, but Ye Chenʼs was undeniable. Killing nine with one, without lifting his hand from his companionʼs waist. His terror was clear. Yet, facing Lan Nuo, he was cautious, using trump cards. Her strength exceeded imagination.

Everyone grew curious about the outcome. Would Lan Nuo match him? Or, against all odds, suppress him? Even without seeing, no one left.

In Lan Clanʼs Immortal City, Luo Bingling clutched her jade bottle, glaring at the sky battlefield with a mix of irritation and confidence. She couldnʼt see through the array. But having sat beside Ye Chen during his fights, his arm around her, she knew his strength. No matter how strong Lan Nuo was, she couldnʼt match him. Heʼd likely end it quickly.

Once done, Luo Bingling would gift him the Yellow Spring Water. Then, mimicking Su Yuxuan, use her feet. The combo would leave Ye Chen smitten, drooling at her feet. Smirking, she felt the Dao Cauldron was close.

…

To outsiders, a world-shaking battle raged within the array. In reality, it was silent. Neither Ye Chen nor Lan Nuo moved.

Ye Chen feared Lan Nuoʼs overconfidence, thinking she could take him. A fine girl with a top physique deserved care.

Lan Nuo worried heʼd actually fight her. After a long pause, seeing no move from him, she relaxed. Hesitantly, she asked, ”Fellow Daoist Ye, youʼve always seen through my strength, havenʼt you?”

He raised a brow, nodding. He approved—she knew her limits, just loved to show off, not blindly arrogant.

Lan Nuo sighed in relief, her cold gaze turning clear. Gazing at his handsome face, her cheeks flushed. ”I understand your intentions, Fellow Daoist Ye. Youʼre a good man, but Iʼve never considered a Dao companion. As the Lan Clanʼs sole heir, I must marry in, not casually pair…”

Ye Chenʼs lips twitched. She thought he liked her. Rumors, no doubt, painting him as a womanizer. He didnʼt blame her—his praise and those rumors would make any female cultivator think so. But a good guy card? A first since transmigrating. Fine, rejection was fine—as long as gifts triggered critical hits!

As he prepared pleasantries, Lan Nuo whispered, ”I feel your care, and Iʼm grateful. Iʼm fond of you too, not just from gratitude. But for my clan, I hope our bond stays secret, just us. Childbirth harms female cultivatorsʼ vitality, so most wait until their cultivation peaks to try. Iʼd like to delay having kids…”

”But Iʼm willing to have several with you. One should take my surname to inherit the Lan Clan. If you mind, itʼs fine—they donʼt have to. Iʼll discuss with the ancestor, pick a talented side-branch heir instead…”

Ye Chenʼs eyes widened. Good guy card, then straight to kids? Wasnʼt this pace a bit too fast?
