A woman's handbag can cost over a hundred thousand, so treating someone to a meal that costs two thousand yuan is a small matter. However, Ye Tiancheng controlled the man with his true energy, causing the man to bang his head on the table.
"I'm sorry! I apologize to you again. I performed terribly just now, and I'm also embarrassed to continue eating your meal. I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, the man left dejectedly. The beautiful woman looked embarrassed. Just as she was trying to find a way out of the awkward situation, a man in a suit called out to her.
"Miss, I'm also alone. My client stood me up today. If you don't mind, I'll order another set meal. How about we share a table?"
The woman saw that the man speaking was gentle and refined, and most importantly, he had a kind heart. It was clear from his words that he was willing to help her out of her predicament. Regardless of whether there would be any future development, his gesture was important.
"Okay, but today I met a stingy man who gave me psychological trauma. This meal is on me."
"I'm a shareholder of this establishment, so I get a significant discount. You don't need to worry about the cost. Just order whatever you like to eat."
The situation on that side had a happy ending and no longer required attention. Liu Lanying's smile was something Ye Tiancheng hadn't expected. He always felt like she had something on her mind. In reality, she hadn't eaten much. Compared to now, it was obvious she seemed quite happy.
"What's wrong? After watching the commotion, I see your mood has improved."
"It's not because watching the commotion improved my mood, but because I discovered, Brother Ye, that you've recovered your abilities. Everyone else might not know, but I must know that you did all of this. You turned the tide and prevented that woman from losing face." Liu Lanying looked at Ye Tiancheng with stars in her eyes, full of unstoppable admiration. "Actually, the thing I like most about you is your respect for women. Many men think women are accessories to men, and even say things like women are clothes. But you respect us and are willing to do things for us. You are truly a good person."
Ye Tiancheng blushed profusely. He hadn't expected her to see through everything. He thought he had been quite discreet. He felt quite embarrassed.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have acted so obviously, letting you see through it."
"Brother Ye, it wasn't obvious at all. It's just that I know you too well. I know what you're doing with every move you make. But that doesn't detract from you. In my heart, you are a good person."
No matter what Ye Tiancheng said, Liu Lanying was now as if under a spell.
She didn't care about anything else. Now she felt Ye Tiancheng was perfect in every way.
"Alright, as long as you believe me, that's enough. Also, seeing you smile makes me happy. I don't like seeing you with a gloomy face. I prefer seeing you smile; it's very cute."
Ye Tiancheng finally complimented Liu Lanying. The gloom that had plagued her for days vanished. In reality, forcing a smile wasn't a pleasant feeling. It was like persuading herself, fighting against herself, which also harmed her body. In such a situation, Liu Lanying was the most distressed.
But now it was better. Liu Lanying also had great faith that things would improve. As long as Ye Tiancheng was around, all disasters would pass.
Ye Tiancheng soon went to Liu Lanying's ancestral home. To solve the problem, he couldn't just wait there every day. He should go and assess the situation. Liu Lanying was tied up with the expansion of the pig farm in the village, so Ye Tiancheng had to shoulder the entire burden at this time.
Ye Tiancheng went quietly. As expected, it was very lively there. Many people were scrambling to get their hands on things. The price had already reached over 40 million yuan. These people were all here for the treasure. Kuai Shu Ge.
Ye Tiancheng was not in a hurry. This should be the last fragment of the Fuxi Qin. Once Ye Tiancheng obtained the fragment, other things would no longer be valuable. He would deal with them as he saw fit. He estimated that the house would be greatly reduced in price, and then Ye Tiancheng would find a way to ensure a fair distribution, at least a fifty-fifty split.
Ye Tiancheng entered the mountain that very night. There were many demons and monsters in the mountains, but now Ye Tiancheng was filled with true energy, and no one dared to do anything to him. Ye Tiancheng was confident that he could obtain the Fuxi Qin fragment. If he couldn't get it this time, he probably wouldn't have another chance.
As soon as Ye Tiancheng entered the mountain, he encountered a monster covered in blue energy, about two people tall. It was not only strange but also terrifying in appearance. It was impossible to describe its features. It had many legs, resembling a spider, but its body was like a toad with many eyes. In short, it gave people goosebumps all over.
"What a damned monster, I'll kill you right now!"
Ye Tiancheng fought the monster for a long time and finally managed to subdue it. It lay on the ground, motionless. At this moment, a voice suddenly echoed from within him.
"Master, this monster seems quite delicious. Since you've already killed it, could you bestow it upon me to eat?"
Ye Tiancheng had experienced countless dangers along the way, but he had never thought that Little Stone could appear. He guessed that the fellow had run away because he was too weak, and now that there was something good to eat, he had appeared faster than anyone. Such a person was truly the most unreliable stone. Compared to him, Nuwa Stone was much better.
"Why are you so gluttonous? You can eat this kind of thing. I'm truly impressed. Why didn't you jump out when I was in danger? Now that there's something good to eat, you're running faster than anyone."
"Indeed. That's because I'm too weak. I only have healing functions and cannot attack. The Snow Lotus and Turmeric you consumed earlier, if I hadn't mixed them together inside you, even if you ate them, they would have been useless. Instead, the two items might have clashed, and your body couldn't handle it, causing you to explode into a pool of bloody flesh, which would have been quite terrifying."
With Little Stone saying that, Ye Tiancheng began to feel a sense of dread. His whole body trembled uncontrollably. This feeling was indescribable, but it was genuinely terrifying.
"Then I'll give it to you to eat. Grow well. I'll have a use for you sooner or later. I can already feel it. You're no ordinary little stone. Calling you Little Stone is an understatement. You're practically a divine stone, a super powerful one."
Ye Tiancheng's expression immediately changed. Facing a capable little divine stone, he immediately began to praise it. If something had ability, it must be praised properly; otherwise, it would be a waste. No matter how you looked at it, it wouldn't be right.
A phantom of a young girl suddenly appeared and began to devour the monster's corpse ravenously.
The girl's phantom seemed much larger than the last time she appeared, as if she had grown. She looked even more adorable, but her way of eating was still a bit brutal, not at all like a cute little girl.
"That thing is so disgusting. How can you eat it? I'm truly amazed. I can't even bear to look."
While Little Stone was eating, the monster also emitted bursts of foul odor. "Foul odor" wasn't accurate; it was more like an extremely unpleasant smell. This smell made people's eyes water uncontrollably. It was extremely irritating.
"So delicious. The more people this monster kills, the more terrifying it grows, and the more delicious it is for me to eat. It's also more beneficial for my cultivation."
Little Stone was eating happily. No matter what others said, she had her own theories and no one could stop her.
"Master, I've finished eating. I'm so full. I won't need to eat for a long time because I'm simply too stuffed."
"As long as you like it. Hurry back inside after you're done. Don't show yourself again. There will be many difficulties ahead. Remember to take care of me a little while you're inside me. We rise and fall together."
After Little Stone repeatedly agreed, she disappeared. Ye Tiancheng continued forward. Next, he had to climb a mountain. For others, climbing the mountain would be difficult and risky, with the possibility of falling. However, Ye Tiancheng had it much easier. He leaped up, grabbed a vine, and climbed upwards. Ye Tiancheng's speed was extremely fast. If not for the protection of his true energy, he would not have been able to move so quickly. He was almost flying.
He moved forward and soon reached the mountaintop. Feeling the whistling wind in the mountains, Ye Tiancheng felt an instant sense of exhilaration. It was incredibly satisfying. This feeling was indescribable, as if he had conquered the entire mountain and placed it beneath his feet, with no further worries.
After walking only a few steps on the mountain, Ye Tiancheng suddenly felt a chill all over his body. Then he heard extremely strange sounds approaching from all directions.
He didn't know what they were, but they carried a great evil aura. Ye Tiancheng could already feel that this immense evil aura enveloped the entire being. It was definitely going to be a tough battle, and he couldn't avoid it.
Ye Tiancheng used his true energy to protect himself completely. When those monsters flew towards him, they stopped outside the protective layer, trying to break in, but they were unable to do so. However, Ye Tiancheng could feel that he was being attacked from all sides. The sensation was unbearable, as if he were about to die. Ye Tiancheng decided not to resist and the only thing he could do was to run as fast as possible.
Ye Tiancheng's true energy layer was on the verge of collapse. These monsters seemed to be endless. After some were repelled, others swarmed towards him, making him feel utterly miserable, as if he were about to vomit.
Ye Tiancheng ran desperately, with the monsters in hot pursuit. Suddenly, Ye Tiancheng ran to a place and found that there was no path ahead. It was a very, very deep cliff. A pile of rocks had fallen down. If he had taken even half a step further, he would have fallen to his death, his body shattered.
"You scared the life out of me!"
The monsters were less than a meter away from him. Ye Tiancheng had no choice but to unleash another wave of true energy. This wave of true energy sent all the insects at the forefront flying away.
Then, Ye Tiancheng gathered all his strength and leaped over 10 meters high. He then prepared to jump to another cliff. He was just a little short. If Ye Tiancheng's strength had been even slightly weaker, he would have fallen into the abyss.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ye Tiancheng didn't know how much unknown power had emerged within him, propelling him to another cliff.
