Starting from the prison, an infinite simulation

"If Young Master Jiang cannot afford it, it is better to let go sooner rather than later. A wise person knows when to yield."

"A low-level web crawler wants to transform into a dragon? Ha! Utterly laughable!"

Huang Yuyuan's words were laced with sarcasm, and Zhao Hao, standing beside him, joined in with unrestrained laughter.

Jiang Yueming's face turned grave, and his eyes grew even colder.

He wanted to speak in rebuttal, but after careful consideration, he swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Because Huang Yuyuan is right.

In terms of status, Jiang Yueming only had the title of the Jiang family's good-for-nothing adopted son, and the Jiang family's disdain and contempt for him were also very clear.

In terms of strength, Jiang Yueming is currently only at the Condensation Realm, while Huang Yuyuan in front of him is a genuine Ancient Realm cultivator, plus the identity of an alchemist. If his strength is not at the upper-middle level of the Ancient Realm, he probably can't beat him.

Jiang Yueming had no advantage in either of these two aspects. Even disregarding these internal factors, he was utterly defeated in terms of external resources.

He didn't have expensive carriages or luxurious mansions.

If one day in the future he has someone he wants to protect, he still won't be able to give them any of these things.

"Huang Yuyuan, your words are far too arrogant. Life is a matter for two people, not just one person's responsibility!"

Just as Jiang Yueming was speechless, Ye Mo suddenly glared at Huang Yuyuan with her beautiful eyes, opened her red lips, and spoke with a cold and stern tone.

Jiang Yueming was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak when Ye Mo spoke first.

"Whether you're rich or poor, if you live the life you're describing, what's the difference between you and a caged bird?"

Faced with Ye Mo's strong counterattack, Huang Yuyuan couldn't help but pause for a moment, a faint smile slowly appearing on his face: "At least a caged bird can live a stable life, while a bird that wanders aimlessly is more likely to turn into dust."

He was becoming increasingly interested in Ye Mo. He had initially thought she was just stunningly beautiful, but it turned out that her children were also exceptional!

This way, Kenga could ignite his desire to conquer, but unlike Zhao Hao, he wasn't brainless and would force himself on someone.

The moment he first saw Ye Mo, he already had a method in mind to slowly and gradually win her over.

"Hmph, Huang... um..." Ye Mo's small hand covering her chest suddenly tightened, and a trace of pain quietly passed through her eyes.

Hearing the barely perceptible pain in Ye Mo's voice, Jiang Yueming fed her the Cleansing Spirit Pill again, saying, "Alright, stop talking. Take it and rest for a bit."

Hearing his incredibly gentle voice, Ye Mo's face flushed red, making her even more endearing, but her bloodied lips still refused to open.

Seeing this, Jiang Yueming had no choice but to take back the Spirit Cleansing Pill. He raised his eyes solemnly to Huang Yuyuan, held up the crystal-blue pill in his hand, and said, "This pill is a third-grade one. Huang Yuyuan, isn't it just that you want a powerful background?"

"What do you think of the background of a third-grade alchemist?"

This time, Jiang Yueming directly threatened Huang Yuyuan because he didn't want to waste any more time here.

Whether it's for Ye Mo or for the people of Dinghai City.

Although it was difficult for Huang Yuyuan to believe his background story when he said it so suddenly, he couldn't afford to slowly break down the other party's psychological defenses right now.

Ye Mo was in very bad condition, and she refused to take the Cleansing Spirit Pill. He knew she was refusing because she was afraid of getting hurt.

Only by dealing with Huang and Zhao can Ye Mo be truly at ease. Otherwise, every time he sees her in pain, his heart aches as if it is bleeding.

"Hmph, you're kidding! Do you think any lousy pill can pass off as a third-grade medicine? Jiang Yueming, do you think we're blind?"

Zhao Hao took a step forward and pointed at Jiang Yueming, unleashing a torrent of abuse, but there was an uncontrollable fear in his voice!

It was obvious that he also knew what a third-grade alchemist meant to them, because there were very few third-grade alchemists in the entire Imperial State.

If a third-grade alchemist really appears, his influence on the Imperial State is unimaginable. If that alchemist wants to avenge Jiang Yueming, then...

Looking across the entire Imperial State, who could stop them besides the heads of the three families? Besides, the heads of the three families would never offend a third-grade alchemist for their sake.

Swish!

Jiang Yueming suddenly glared at Zhao Hao with extreme coldness, as if to say, "The master hasn't said anything, so what are you barking about?"

Zhao Hao's arrogance diminished considerably after being suddenly glared at, but his displeasure with Jiang Yueming was still very clear on his face.

Huang Yuyuan glanced at the crystal-blue pill and pondered deeply.

In his soul perception, this pill was indeed ranked third grade, and if we only consider its healing value, it was comparable to fourth or fifth grade healing pills.

However, what puzzled him was why a mere Jiang Yueming would possess such rare and even world-class pills.

Could it be that he really has a third-grade alchemist as his backer?

That's unlikely. As an alchemist, he knew the nature of every alchemist in the Imperial State well. They would never refine pills for Jiang Yueming without a profit.

It's unlikely that it was made by a potential powerful figure in the Imperial State or by an alchemist from outside the Imperial State.

Firstly, Jiang Yueming is merely a lowly scoundrel, while alchemists are all upper-class nobles. For a noble to concoct pills for a scoundrel without any benefit would be a foolish act that lowers their status.

Besides, what kind of eye-opening benefits could a low-level crawler possibly offer an alchemist?

Secondly, even if Jiang Yueming had a stroke of luck and a potential powerful figure from the Imperial State helped him, why didn't he use this trump card when he first faced difficulties?

Either this powerful being is unable to appear for some reason, or the powerful being is currently severely injured and unable to use his power.

Considering these two points, the current situation becomes less of a concern for Huang Yuyuan.

However, just to be on the safe side, Huang Yuyuan chose to save face and said with a smile, "The background of a third-grade alchemist is indeed impressive. I'm impressed."

Upon hearing that Huang Yuyuan was going to show weakness, Ye Mo's worries finally dissipated. After all, if things escalated to the point where the two sides fought, they would definitely be at a great disadvantage.

Zhao Hao glanced at Huang Yuyuan, his face also showing shock that he would let Jiang Yueming and the others go so easily. However, upon further reflection, he realized that the power of a third-grade alchemist made perfect sense.

However, his resentment towards Jiang Yueming could only be put to rest.

Jiang Yueming raised an eyebrow, remaining silent. He always felt that Huang Yuyuan's smile was too simple.

If they were so easy to let go, why did they push them so hard in the first place? Also, he seems to be plotting something against Ye Mo, but he can't quite put his finger on it.

"Since you've submitted, besides letting us go, why don't you also take care of the pills that the common people need? It would be a good way to demonstrate the kindness and compassion of an alchemist."

Ye Mo gently pushed Jiang Yueming away, broke free from his embrace, and stared coldly at Huang Yuyuan before slowly speaking.

"Yes, Miss Ye, I can fulfill any of your requests, but there's one condition."

"What are the conditions?" Jiang Yueming's eyes instantly turned icy as she looked at Huang Yuyuan's slightly hypocritical smile.

"I want to see what a third-grade alchemist looks like with my own eyes, what do you say?"
