In the early morning, a thin layer of rose-colored sunrise appeared in the east. The light of dawn intertwined with the thin morning mist, igniting the mountains and rivers.
"Phew, I've finally broken through to become a fourth-level spiritual beast."
After cultivating for most of the night, Ye Chenfeng broke through as he wished. The third crack appeared on the blood egg in his soul.
At this time, Ye Chenfeng had a feeling that when the power contained in the blood egg grew stronger and more cracks appeared on its surface, he might be able to hatch a spiritual beast that belonged to him.
Just as Ye Chenfeng was sitting cross-legged in the room to consolidate his cultivation, a series of urgent knocks on the door woke him up from his cultivation.
"Good morning!"
Ye Chenfeng opened the door and found Ji Qingxue, who was wearing a white gauze dress and had an elegant temperament, standing outside the room like a fairy.
"It's still early. It's almost noon." Ji Qingxue rolled her eyes at Ye Chenfeng and said, "Ye Chenfeng, do you know that you were assassinated last night? If it wasn't for me, you might have been dead by now."
"Assassinated last night? That's impossible. Why didn't I hear anything?" Ye Chenfeng pretended to be surprised and said.
"Ye Chenfeng, I really wonder if you were a pig in your previous life."
Looking at Ye Chenfeng's surprised look, Ji Qingxue became more depressed and said coldly, "As a reward, you have to give me 2,000 taels of silver so that I can buy a birthday gift for Grandpa Shiya."
"I don't have money," Ye Chenfeng rejected without even thinking about it.
If it wasn't for the unexpected gain last night, he would only have a few dozen taels of silver left. Ji Qingxue, on the other hand, asked for 2,000 taels of silver.
"You …"
Ji Qingxue was very angry at the "stingy" Ye Chenfeng. She gritted her teeth and said, "Consider the 2,000 taels of silver as a loan. After a while, I'll pay you back twice as much. Is that okay?"
"I said I don't have money, so I don't have money."
"You … How can you be so stingy? I didn't say I wouldn't pay you back."
"And I saved you last night. If it wasn't for me, you would have been killed."
After being repeatedly rejected by Ye Chenfeng, Ji Qingxue was so angry that she stomped her feet. Her impression of the cowardly and petty Ye Chenfeng dropped to the extreme.
"Alright, alright, alright. I'll give you two thousand taels of silver."
Looking at the enraged Ji Qingxue, who looked like she wouldn't give up until she got what she wanted, Ye Chenfeng had no choice but to take out two banknotes worth one thousand taels of silver. He stuffed them into Ji Qingxue's hands and said, "Before you give me the remaining seven hundred thousand taels of silver, don't borrow any more money from me. It wasn't easy for me to get my money."
"Keep your money for the rest of your life," Ji Qingxue said resentfully as she gripped the two thousand taels of silver in her hand.
Seeing Ji Qingxue leave in a huff, Ye Chenfeng helplessly shook his head. He closed the door and continued to circulate the Soul Devouring Tactics, swallowing low-grade soul crystals to consolidate his cultivation as a fourth-grade spirit beast. He was preparing for the White Emperor Martial House's year-end assessment in two months.
According to past practice, those who obtained the top three positions in the White Emperor Martial House would be able to participate in the Sky Fire Martial House's final assessment.
However, the Sky Fire Martial House's final assessment was extremely difficult. If Ye Chenfeng wanted to smoothly pass the assessment, he would have to work even harder in the remaining days.
"Ye Chenfeng, these are the clothes I bought for you. Quickly put them on and accompany me to Shiya's residence to celebrate Grandfather Bai's birthday."
Two days after Ji Qingxue disappeared, she once again knocked on Ye Chenfeng's door. She threw him a set of gorgeous clothes and coldly urged him to hurry up.
After about two minutes, Ye Chenfeng walked out wearing a set of expensive clothes that fit him perfectly.
Although Ji Qingxue hated the petty Ye Chenfeng from the bottom of her heart, after putting on the gorgeous clothes, Ye Chenfeng seemed to have changed into a different person.
His facial features were as distinct as if they were carved. His pair of deep eyes emitted a cold light. His tall nose and moderately thick lips were brimming with a dazzling smile. Ji Qingxue couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Her disgust towards him lessened by quite a bit.
"Ye Chenfeng, Shiya's father is the White Emperor City's Lord. Her grandfather is an influential figure in the Kingdom of Zi Jin. When we reach the City Lord's residence, try to speak as little as possible." Ji Qingxue was afraid that Ye Chenfeng would speak too much and embarrass her, so she solemnly reminded him.
"Don't worry, I won't speak carelessly." Ye Chenfeng smiled and nodded his head as he promised.
After agreeing, the two of them took the carriage that Ji Qingxue had hired earlier and arrived at the center of the White Emperor City. It occupied a large area and was extremely luxurious. There were many pavilions and lofts.
Because today was the 70th birthday of the Bai Clan's Old Master, Bai Xi Shan, the City Lord's residence was decorated early in the morning. The winding walls of the residence were entwined with long snake-like red silk, and large red lanterns were hung on the vermilion door.
Waves of melodious music mixed with noisy laughter could be heard from the residence from time to time. However, Ye Chenfeng who always liked peace and quiet frowned.
"Let's go, let's go in."
After getting off the carriage, Ji Qingxue intimately hugged Ye Chenfeng's arm and said softly.
For some reason, when Ji Qingxue hugged Ye Chenfeng's arm, she didn't feel any disgust or disgust from the depths of her heart. Instead, her heart was calm.
It was as if Ye Chenfeng was her support, the harbor of her soul. By Ye Chenfeng's side, she wouldn't be afraid of the biggest storm.
"Chengfeng, Qingxue, you're here."
Just as Ye Chenfeng and Ji Qingxue entered the bustling and jubilant City Lord's residence, Bai Xiya, who was busy in the front courtyard, immediately noticed them.
Today, Bai Xiya deliberately put on light makeup and wore a fiery-red gem around her neck. The tight-fitting black dress accentuated her curvaceous figure vividly, and a pair of straight legs were faintly discernible under the cover of the black dress.
Ji Qingxue also specially dressed up today. Wearing a white gauze dress, she was even more beautiful than a fairy.
When the two of them stood together, they immediately attracted the gazes of almost everyone in the surroundings.
For a moment, the two of them became the absolute focus of attention.
"Di Wanxian, who is the woman beside that trash Ye Chenfeng?"
Lian Sanjun, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, had a tall and straight figure, and an extraordinary appearance, looked at the extremely beautiful Ji Qingxue. His eyes immediately burst out with a fiery light as he asked Di Wanxian who was beside him.
"This is the first time I've seen that lady. She doesn't seem to be from the White Emperor City."
The three Di Family experts who had tried to assassinate Ye Chenfeng had died, so Di Wanxian didn't know about Ji Qingxue's existence.
"Damn it! I didn't expect that trash, who was expelled from the Ye Family, would actually have such luck to hook up with such a stunner. However, such a beautiful lady is not someone he can match up to. "
A cold smile appeared on Lian Sanjun's face. He started to have designs on Ji Qingxue. Naturally, Ye Chenfeng became his main target.
However, what Lian Sanjun hadn't expected was that Ye Chenfeng was the person he had been painstakingly looking for to take revenge on.
