A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

Congratulations!

Ye Chen smiled and said sincerely.

For a cultivator who has been stuck at a bottleneck for more than half a year, breaking through to a higher realm is undoubtedly a cause for celebration...

But after he finished speaking, his voice gradually faded away.

"Why don't you let go first? I'm having trouble breathing..."

At this moment, the shapely Lin Ningxue clung to him like a koala, her arms wrapped around his neck, making Ye Chen's face turn red...

Enjoying it is fine, but at least give me some steam...

"what?"

Lin Ningxue was startled, only then realizing she was clinging to Ye Chen. Her face flushed red with embarrassment, and she quickly jumped down, taking two steps back. She lowered her head shyly, unable to look Ye Chen in the eye...

"Senior brother... I'm sorry..."

"I was just so happy, I didn't mean to take advantage of you..."

"Senior brother, don't be angry."

Her cheeks were burning hot, and she was so nervous she could barely speak...

Such behavior is extremely shameful.

She was terrified that Ye Chen would be angry about this, and what if he stopped talking to her altogether...?

Ye Chen looked at Lin Ningxue, whose face was flushed and who kept apologizing, and shook his head with a smile at her timid appearance.

This girl is so cute...

With such great figures, it's hard to say who's getting the better deal.

Why not do it again?

"It's nothing... there's nothing to be angry about." Ye Chen waved his hand dismissively.

Hearing Ye Chen say this, Lin Ningxue finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Chen then carefully examined Lin Ningxue in front of him, noticing her slightly flushed skin, and asked with concern.

"Has the medicinal effect of the Fire Spirit Grass been fully extracted?"

"Yes!" Lin Ningxue nodded immediately, "They're all refined..."

"Thank you so much for the medicine, Senior Brother! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to break through to the third level of Qi Refining so quickly!"

Thinking about the breakthrough in her long-standing cultivation level, Lin Ningxue's face once again beamed with joy...

"It's all right now that the refining is complete..."

Ye Chen nodded in relief and said meaningfully.

"Don't thank me yet, this Fire Spirit Grass isn't given away for free..."

"Um?"

Lin Ningxue's heart skipped a beat. She hesitated, glancing at Ye Chen with a hint of nervousness in her eyes, her mind racing with all sorts of thoughts...

Didn't my senior brother previously tell me that I could just take this Fire Spirit Grass in person?

Could it be that they've changed their minds?

Or is it that... my senior brother was planning to trick me from the very beginning?

Now that she has already refined the Fire Spirit Grass, there is definitely no way to return it. What if her senior brother makes some unreasonable demands?

It seems I have no choice but to agree...

Lin Ningxue's face grew increasingly flushed, her nervous little hands unsure of what to do, hesitating whether she should take the initiative to undress herself.

Now, the only thing she can use to counteract the Fire Spirit Grass is her innocence...

"Senior brother...I understand..."

"Do whatever you want...do whatever you want!"

Lin Ningxue gritted her teeth and went for it, pursing her alluring lips as she spoke.

With her eyes slightly closed, she looked completely at ease, appearing very alluring.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's expression froze, and his gaze towards Lin Ningxue became strange...

What did this girl understand?

Damn, is he acting like an animal again?

This king has always robbed people of their money but not of their virtue, and he never bullies women!

At that moment, he felt an urge to fuck this girl...

"I want you to give me all the morning dew you collect every day from now on!" Ye Chen said irritably.

He just wanted to threaten her into giving him some morning dew, but who knew this girl would directly offer herself to him...

They completely stumped Ye Chen.

This girl looks so innocent, what's on her mind?

"what?"

"Morning...dew?"

Lin Ningxue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Ye Chen in astonishment, asking incredulously.

"Senior brother, you...you gave me a Fire Spirit Grass just so I would collect morning dew for you?"

She was still a little dazed, thinking she had misheard...

"Otherwise what?" Ye Chen spread his hands helplessly, and looking at Lin Ningxue's surprised expression, he suddenly leaned over, raised his eyebrows and grinned mischievously.

"Did you think I wanted to...?"

"No...no!"

Before Ye Chen could finish speaking, Lin Ningxue shook her head, her face flushed, and denied it.

"I wasn't thinking about that kind of thing..."

"I just feel that... Senior Brother's request is... a bit too low."

"It's just some morning dew, not worth the trouble, senior brother."

A single Grade-four Fire Spirit Grass is of immeasurable value to an outer sect disciple, far exceeding what Morning Dew can compare to. This transaction is unequal, so it's no wonder she misunderstood earlier...

Let alone her, anyone who received a precious spiritual herb and then received a request from it would assume the other party was lusting after her body...

"What I want isn't just a little morning dew..."

Ye Chen stopped teasing her and looked at Lin Ningxue in front of him with a serious expression.

"I want you to give me all the morning dew you collect every day from now on..."

"Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. Every now and then, I can give you another Fire Spirit Grass in exchange..."

The morning dew collected throughout the morning, after being refined by the Purple Gold Gourd, is enough to cultivate a Grade 4 Fire Spirit Grass.

Ye Chen asked her to collect several days' worth of morning dew in exchange for a Fire Spirit Grass. It seemed like Lin Ningxue was getting a good deal, but in reality, he wasn't losing out either; he could at least harvest a few more Fire Spirit Grasses...

After all, collecting morning dew by himself would be hard work, and he could only collect enough for one bottle at most. Having more people would double the output...

This is a win-win situation: it ensures Lin Ningxue doesn't work for nothing, and it also makes her willingly add water to the crystal bottle...

"But senior brother, if we give you all the morning dew, what about the fire spirit grass in the spirit field?" Lin Ningxue asked hesitantly. The amount of morning dew she could collect each day was limited, and she would inevitably have to give up one thing for another.

Meeting Lin Ningxue's gaze, Ye Chen calmly said, "Of course, we use spring water to irrigate it. Do I need to teach you how to add water to the crystal bottle?"

"This...this isn't a good idea, is it?" Lin Ningxue asked with some concern.

After all, watering the Fire Spirit Grass with mountain spring water will only slow its growth rate, and if the sect finds out, there will be punishment...

Ye Chen saw the worry in her heart and threatened her in a feigned fierce manner.

"To tell you the truth, the Fire Spirit Grass you just ingested was cultivated from seeds I brought back from my herb garden, along with some morning dew I secretly hoarded..."

"If the elders of the Spirit Herb Garden find out, do you think they'll let you off the hook?"

"Junior sister, you probably don't want to be expelled from the sect, do you?"

Lin Ningxue: ? ? ?

Faced with Ye Chen's threat, Lin Ningxue panicked immediately...

"Senior brother, I do!!!"
