Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 674: I Become His Simp?

Three days later, Luo Bingling gaped at the pair, entwined like an ouroboros, heedless of her presence. Could it be that good? Sheʼd thought she had Ye Chen tamed. Now, watching them, she felt amateurish. No wonder he hadnʼt drooled or gone brain-dead as sheʼd hoped.

She grew restless, wanting to leave. Her presence only heightened their excitement. She meant to disrupt, not enhance their joy.

…

Luo Binglingʼs eyes lit up, her waist gem sparkling. Done. Just three days. Her presence had worked. They could leave soon.

Yi Qingwu, seeing Ye Chen pull away, let him leave his ”mark” per routine, then frowned. This was just the appetizer. Was he affected by the War God Clan girl?

She found the extra person thrilling—her threats felt more vivid. Glancing at Luo Bingling, who smirked triumphantly, Yi Qingwuʼs phoenix eyes narrowed. She wanted it over quick? Not on her watch.

…

Ye Chen stopped because the cooldown ended. Gift time. He never wasted a second of cooldown. Blocking Yi Qingwuʼs move, he ignored her confused, displeased stare.

He produced a jade bottle, saying softly, ”This is Yellow Spring Water, a treasure for breaking from First to Second Heaven. From the Black Yellow World. When Jianmu stood, some existed here. After it broke, the worldsʼ link severed, and it vanished.

”The War God Clan, with deep reserves, kept some, but after a million years, this is their last. Fellow Daoist Luo gave it to me for a perfect breakthrough. But I think it suits you, Qingwu! Take it.”

His words froze Luo Binglingʼs smug smile. Her Yellow Spring Water! The clanʼs last portion.

Ye Chen was giving it to another woman? In front of her? She recalled his joy when receiving it. Not for himself—for gifting Yi Qingwu?

Her face twisted, abs bulging. She nearly exploded. Unacceptable. Her gift became his tool to woo another. How was she different from Ye Chenʼs rumored simps? Sheʼd become his simp?

Luo Bingling was furious, nearly losing it. Ye Chen sensed her discontent but ignored it. Using Luo Bingling to heighten Yi Qingwuʼs thrill. Once the fiancée triggered a critical hit, heʼd toss Luo Bingling a trinket to soothe her. Easy to handle. Not heartless—gifts didnʼt matter if they didnʼt yield criticals. Without that, she was inherently lesser, just a prop in their game.

…

Yi Qingwu was stunned. Unlike Ye Chen, raised in a holy land, she knew treasures well. For the Mahayana Second Heaven breakthrough, uniting body, soul, and domain perfectly was ideal. Yellow Spring Water was the best for it. Truly extinct. Even before, it came from other worldsʼ trade.

In Black Yellow World, a powerhouse refined the entire river into an Extreme Dao Weapon, monopolizing it. This might be the cultivation worldʼs last portion. Ye Chen, getting it, gave it to her without hesitation. His care warmed her heart. Especially since another woman gave it to him, showing her devotion. Yet he rushed to gift it to Yi Qingwu. Her joy surged. Luo Binglingʼs provocation? Amateur. She could only watch, fuming.

Luo Binglingʼs presence amplified Yi Qingwuʼs excitement, her body trembling, nearly ”gushing” in the void. But despite practicing Indestructible Heavenly Art, boosting her talent and combat power, she knew she couldnʼt ascend. This unique treasure should stay with Ye Chen. She refused. ”Fellow Daoist Ye, Iʼm only early first-tier, no need yet. Youʼre late-stage—use it. Giving it to me to sway me? Never. My late fiancéʼs in my heart!”

Ye Chenʼs lips twitched. Her refusal was sincere, but the last line was to rile him, urging ”business.” He insisted, ”Itʼs for you! At my level, itʼs just a bonus. Itʼs my wish for you! Refuse, and Iʼll return it to Fellow Daoist Luo!”

Luo Binglingʼs resentment nearly solidified. She stood. ”Give it back now!”

This treasure, pushed around? Infuriating.

Yi Qingwu, seeing Ye Chenʼs resolve and maybe not needing it, and Luo Binglingʼs demand, smiled. She took the bottle, ignoring Luo Binglingʼs fiery glare. Chin raised, she told Ye Chen, ”Since youʼre sincere, Iʼll take it. But donʼt think this sways me. Iʼll never forget Heavenly Intention Holy Son!”
