Chi Mei had come knocking.
Almost as soon as the door was kicked open, Ye Zichen put down his cup. Meng Huairong appeared by his side and wrapped her fingers around the newcomer's neck.
"Ye ….."
Before the newcomer could speak, he felt a wave of killing intent envelop him.
His throat bobbed up and down, then he heard the person Meng Huairong had grabbed by the neck scream.
"Ye Zichen, you still want to kill me? You heartless man, I came to find you directly after I came out, but you actually abandoned me after you slept with me! "
At the same time, Jiao Qi led a few of the shop's employees over. His face was covered in fluorescent powder, and his eyes were sinister.
However, when they heard the newcomer's words, they all stopped. Only Meng Huairong frowned.
"Jiao Qi, what the hell are you doing? How could you let someone barge into the young master's room?"
To her surprise, Jiao Qi kept shooting her meaningful glances. Meng Huairong looked at him in confusion.
The newcomer wasn't looking for trouble. Rather, it was Chi Mei, the one who'd dragged Ye Zichen to the Five Elements Great Emperor's tomb.
Meng Huairong might be acting cute in front of Ye Zichen, but don't forget, she was still an earth supreme-level expert. Even though Chi Mei had obtained some good fortune from the mausoleum and was now a Celestial King Realm expert, compared to a Ninth Stage Earth Supreme, she was still far inferior.
"Huairong, let her go," sighed Ye Zichen.
Meng Huairong didn't hesitate and released her. Jiao Qi cupped his hands at Ye Zichen.
"Young Master, this young lady said that she was your wife when she came here, so …"
"I understand. You guys can go back to your own business."
There was no need for Jiao Qi to say anything. Ye Zichen already knew what she'd done. She'd definitely said she was his wife. Jiao Qi didn't believe her, but he still had to treat her with caution. She'd taken advantage of his momentary daze to cover his eyes with fluorescent powder and run up to him.
If it were anyone else, it might be impossible, but to Chi Mei, anything was possible!
Ye Zichen cupped his hands in greeting. Jiao Qi and the others left, then turned to Meng Huairong.
"Huairong, go with them."
"Oh."
Ye Zichen nodded and followed Jiao Qi out of the room, then shrugged helplessly.
"You're really haunting me. I've already hidden here. How can I still let you find me?"
To his surprise, Chi Mei, who was standing at the door, threw herself at him and burst into tears. Feeling the trembling body in his arms and the wet clothes, Chi Mei really cried!
Ye Zichen couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
"What's wrong with you?"
"You're a heartless man. You used me and then abandoned me. I went through so much trouble to find you, but I didn't expect that … you actually had another woman. Have you forgotten our vows of eternal love? Have you forgotten the sincere love we once had? "
"…"
To be honest, Ye Zichen didn't dare say that he'd seen countless women, but he'd spent time with quite a few. It was his first time encountering someone like Chi Mei who could lie through her teeth without blushing or gasping for breath.
A pledge of eternal love?
True love?
He must have transmigrated!
Ye Zichen didn't even try to comfort her. Instead, he pushed her to the side and continued drinking. Chi Mei looked at Ye Zichen with teary eyes and sniffled.
"You …. You have to make it up to me."
"Tell me about it." Ye Zichen glanced at her indifferently, then filled his cup with wine.
"Hey …. It looks like you're doing pretty well. Your shop's doing pretty well, and it doesn't seem like you're lacking the money to refine pills for me. How about …. Just give me a Sea Condensing Pill, alright? "
Chi Mei giggled, then blushed as if she were a bit embarrassed.
"No," said Ye Zichen decisively.
"You …. Fine. How about this? You can waive my labor fees, alright? Hey, Ye Zichen, we've been through life and death together. Besides, you don't seem like someone who's lacking a few million yuan. "
"No way!"
"Then at least give me a discount!"
"No way!"
"Sweetie!" When she saw how cold-blooded Ye Zichen was, Chi Mei had no choice but to act spoiled. "It wasn't easy for me to beg my friends for these ingredients, and there's also the money …. Right now, I'm penniless and in debt. Just do me a favor and give me a discount! Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to work to pay back my debt. "
"Alright, go on then. When you're done, tell me your card number and I'll cheer you on. "
Ye Zichen's expression was as indifferent as ever. He even lifted his cup and took a sip.
Chi Mei, who was sitting not far away, moved her lips. Her bright eyes looked like they were about to spit fire. She glared viciously at Ye Zichen, then pulled the ingredients for the three Sea Condensing Pills from her spatial ring, as well as the labor fees Ye Zichen had promised.
"You're ruthless enough!"
Ye Zichen slapped the ingredients and labor fees on the table, glanced at them indifferently, then waved his hand and put them away. When she saw how he'd collected them without the slightest hesitation, Chi Mei gnashed her teeth in hatred. She clenched her fists so hard they creaked.
"You miser!"
It wasn't like Chi Mei hadn't stayed in the Sky Great District before, especially in Ice Blue City. Every inch of land here was worth its weight in gold. Just the buildings alone were worth at least ten billion, and that was just a conservative estimate. She didn't dare go overboard.
On her way here, she'd seen the pills, artifacts, and talismans in the shop. They were all worth a fortune.
Ye Zichen was already so rich, yet he was still stingy with her? Just the thought of it infuriated her!
When he saw Chi Mei's unwilling expression, Ye Zichen couldn't help but arch his brows and laugh.
"You call me miser? Aren't you being a little too petty? You've already obtained the resources of the Five Elements Great Emperor's mausoleum. I've already seen thousands of Sea Condensing Pill ingredients. You're much richer than I am now, so don't act like you're poor, alright? "
"Who obtained the mausoleum's resources? After I went in, my fire element reached a minor level, and I went from a sky immortal to an immortal king. How am I richer than you? Don't talk drivel. The way I see it, you're the one who obtained it. When I left, I couldn't find you anywhere, and now you've bought a place. Hmph ….. "
Chi Mei glared at him angrily. From the look of it, she wasn't lying. However, only the three of them had gone in. He'd taken the Yao-Sealing Pagoda and left. Chi Mei hadn't obtained the inheritance either. Didn't that mean …..
"I really didn't get any of the resources, but I did obtain a bit of the inheritance. Aren't the resources only the Five Elements Great Emperor's descendants can touch? I'm just an outsider ….. "
"You're right."
When Chi Mei heard that, she suddenly understood. She scrambled to her feet, her body trembling even more violently than when Ye Zichen had infuriated her.
