"Chengfeng, you're finally back. We were worried sick."
Mo Yuyan, who was anxiously waiting in the Ancient Ink Merchant Union, saw Ye Chenfeng's return. Her anxious heart relaxed, and a smile appeared on her anxious face.
"Oh right, who is this?"
Looking at the unfamiliar face of the Sword Puppet and feeling the pressure from its body, Mo Yuyan softly asked.
"This is my master. He was the one who repelled the Sword Demon and saved me." Ye Chenfeng introduced the Sword Puppet's identity.
"Master!"
When Mo Yuyan learned of the Sword Puppet's identity and how he repelled the Sword Demon, shock appeared on her delicate face. She looked at the Sword Puppet with eyes full of respect and flattery.
"I'm a little tired. Arrange a place for me to rest." The Sword Puppet said without a trace of emotion.
"Yes, yes. Senior, please wait for a moment. I'll order someone to arrange it." Mo Yuyan didn't dare to delay, and ordered Elder Mei to personally arrange a place for the Sword Puppet to rest.
"That's right, Yuyan. Now that my master has helped me get two keys to the underwater cave abode from the Celestial Star Merchant Alliance and the Solitary Cloud Merchant Alliance, can you give me the key from the Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance?"
"Xingchen, you've obtained the keys to the Celestial Star Merchant Union and the Solitary Cloud Merchant Union?" Mo Yuyan raised her brows, and her heart was in turmoil.
She knew how important these two keys were to the two merchant unions. Unless the two merchant unions were in danger of being exterminated, they definitely wouldn't hand over these two keys.
What she didn't know was that not only did Ye Chenfeng snatch the keys from the two merchant unions, but he also extorted 300,000 mid-grade soul crystals from the two merchant unions.
"Mm!" Ye Chenfeng nodded his head and took out the two keys that he had snatched.
"Chengfeng, as long as you agree to one of my requests, I'll give you the key to the Ancient Ink Merchant Union." Mo Yuyan took a deep breath and gathered her courage. She looked at Ye Chenfeng's handsome face with a burning gaze and said.
"What request?" Sensing the strange look in Mo Yuyan's eyes, Ye Chenfeng frowned and asked.
"I want to have a child with you." Mo Yuyan bit her rosy lips and mustered up her courage.
"What …"
Ye Chenfeng's eyes widened. His mouth was slightly agape as he looked at Mo Yuyan in astonishment. Her cheeks were slightly red and her eyes were watery. He didn't dare to imagine what he had just heard.
"Chengfeng, you are a dragon amongst men. In the future, you will definitely soar through the nine heavens. As for me, I don't expect you to accept my love and stay in the Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance. I only want to have a child with you so that I can entrust my yearning to you," Mo Yuyan said with a complicated tone.
"I'm sorry, but I can't promise you."
Seeing the longing in Mo Yuyan's eyes, Ye Chenfeng did not feel the slightest ripple in his heart. He shook his head and refused without a trace of emotion.
"Chengfeng, am I really that bad? Why can't I make you feel the slightest bit of interest? "
Mo Yuyan was very confident in her figure and appearance. However, she never thought that Ye Chenfeng would reject her without any hesitation. This dealt a heavy blow to her self-esteem, so she asked in a desolate tone.
"This has nothing to do with you. It's just that I wholeheartedly pursue the boundless Dao. I don't want to be affected by personal feelings, and I definitely won't leave behind any attachments here." Ye Chenfeng sighed softly and explained.
"Okay, I understand." Mo Yuyan's face was deathly pale as she said, "Actually, I already expected this result. It's just that I was too naive and had an illusion in my heart."
"Now, I will fulfill my promise and give you the keys to the Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance." Mo Yuyan tightly bit her lips, not letting herself cry. She gave the precious keys and the map to the underwater cave to Ye Chenfeng.
"Thank you! If I manage to obtain a great opportunity in the underwater cave, I will definitely share some with you, "Ye Chenfeng promised as he put away the three precious keys.
"Chengfeng, I'm a bit tired. I'll go back and rest first." With that, the disheartened Mo Yuyan turned around and left with red eyes.
"Aiii!"
Looking at Mo Yuyan's lonely back, Ye Chenfeng gently sighed. Although Mo Yuyan was very beautiful, she did not belong to him. Ye Chenfeng could not accept her.
"Nichang is still cultivating?"
After returning to the courtyard, Ye Chenfeng's sharp perception sensed that Yue Nichang was still cultivating. He didn't disturb her and returned to his room. He took out the three precious keys and studied them for a while before sitting down cross-legged to cultivate.
At dawn, when the sky was just beginning to brighten, a powerful aura came from Yue Nichang's room. Sensing this aura, Ye Chenfeng was delighted. He knew that Yue Nichang had finally finished refining the Devil Crystal Bone.
"Nichang, now that you've refined the Devil Crystal Bone, what level have you reached with your Six Meridian Divine Shield?" Seeing Yue Nichang walk out of the room with her body emitting a powerful aura, Ye Chenfeng softly asked.
"The energy contained within the Devil Crystal Bone is too powerful. After refining it, I've reached the minor completion of the Tendon Refinement realm." Yue Nichang happily said.
After reaching the minor completion of the Tendon Refinement realm, her physical strength had reached fifty thousand kilograms, which was enough to crush a second level Profound Beast Ancestor.
"Nichang, I've already obtained all three keys to the underwater cave. You should rest well today. Tomorrow morning, we'll head to the underwater cave." In order to avoid any unexpected events, Ye Chenfeng wanted to head to the underwater cave as soon as possible.
"You went to the Celestial Star Merchant Alliance and the Solitary Cloud Merchant Alliance?" Yue Nichang asked with some surprise.
"Yes. After repelling the Sword Devil, I went to the two merchant alliances and forced them to hand over their keys. I also extorted three hundred thousand mid grade soul crystals from each of them." Ye Chenfeng nodded and spoke without hiding anything.
"Chengfeng, how strong is your clone?" Yue Nichang had long since known of the existence of the Sword Puppet and was curious about its strength.
"A fifth level Profound Beast Ancestor!"
After entering the underwater cave, Ye Chenfeng's greatest reliance was the Sword Puppet. Therefore, he couldn't hide the Sword Puppet's strength at all.
"A fifth level Profound Beast Ancestor clone. Chengfeng, even I am a bit envious of your fortune." Yue Nichang said enviously.
Just as she said that, Ye Chenfeng's pupils suddenly contracted into the most dangerous pinholes. A sharp sword aura emanated from his body.
Sensing the change in Ye Chenfeng's aura, Yue Nichang's heart tightened and she asked, "Chengfeng, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Two powerful demon beasts have arrived outside the Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance. They're very likely coming for me!" Ye Chenfeng said in a grave voice.
The two demon beasts had come with ill intentions. He guessed that the matter of him snatching the keys to the underwater cave had been exposed. The two merchant alliances wanted to use the demon beasts to eliminate him.
"Demon beasts? Chengfeng, how strong are the two demon beasts outside? "Yue Nichang asked with furrowed brows.
"They're very strong. The strongest one is probably a fourth level Heavenly Beast. The other one is also a third level Heavenly Beast." Ye Chenfeng said in a grave voice.
"Fourth level Heavenly Beast? Could it be that Black Tortoise?" Yue Nichang's face tightened as she thought of how terrifying the Black Tortoise's lightning tribulation was. She couldn't help but feel nervous.
"It's most likely that Black Tortoise!" Ye Chenfeng took a deep breath and said with a grave expression, "Let's go. Let's go out and meet them."
After saying that, Ye Chenfeng transmitted a message to the Sword Puppet and brought him outside the Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance. They saw the half-human, half-beast Black Tortoise King with a huge tortoise shell on his back and four thick and powerful limbs. The Black Tortoise King also had a long snake tail. Its entire body was covered in black snake scales, and it had the head of a beautiful woman and a long snake tongue.
Xingyun, Xinghai, and the two Grand Elders of the Solitary Cloud Merchant Alliance stood behind the Black Tortoise King and the others. They glared furiously at Ye Chenfeng and Yue Nichang, who had brought them great humiliation. They couldn't wait to skin them alive.
