"There are actually over a hundred?" Gazing at the spirit vein lines on the map writhing like earthworms, Ye Haochuan’s heart couldn’t help but thump wildly.
A single low-grade spirit vein is a trendous wealth for a cultivator. If he obtained all these hundreds of spirit veins, he could definitely support dozens of sects.
"This record is quite old, so so of the spirit veins recorded have already been discovered and excavated. Only about one-third remain, and those are the most hidden or hardest to mine!" The Second Clan Leader shook his head and said.
"One-third is still quite considerable!" Ye Haochuan laughed, "Seems like not killing you guys was wise!"
At this mont, Ye Haochuan had already completely forgotten about past grudges, and even felt a bit lucky. If he had killed these three, he might never have known about this.
Aside from a normal cultivator’s desire for red crystals, Ye Haochuan had another significant reason for needing them: to use the red crystals to revive the woman in the Crimson Cloud Gold Coffin, then obtain the Earth Wisdom Bead from her.
The thought of tens or hundreds of billions of red crystals had once given him a headache, but now with this, a hundred billion red crystals didn’t seem like such a big deal.
As he thought about this, he reached out for the three fragnts in the Second Clan Leader’s hand.
However, a slender hand grabbed two of the fragnts first.
"What do you an by this?" Ye Haochuan asked, puzzled, at the woman who had taken the two fragnts.
The woman pouted and said, "You’re so greedy! These two stones clearly belong to my subordinates, why do you want to take them?"
"They were just using them as ransom to save their lives, of course I should keep them!" Ye Haochuan said as if it was only natural.
The woman scoffed, "Oh, please, you need ten billion red crystals; just one from the Lost Forest is more than enough. The rest all still belong to them!"
After saying that, she added, "I trust soone as handso and upright as you wouldn’t do such a thing as robbery, right?"
Well, she sure shut up. This girl is too hard to deal with!
Ye Haochuan examined the woman, and with a cold voice said, "What if I don’t take them? The last one is mine, and with just the two in your hand, you still can’t reveal the map!"
"That’s easy!" The woman’s face lit up with a sly smile. "These spirit veins count as resources we both own. We’ll mine them together. I was supposed to get two-thirds, but I’ll let it slide and split it fifty-fifty, how about it?"
"You want to team up with ?" Ye Haochuan asked curiously, "You should know I’m currently being hunted by the Holy See, aren’t you afraid of the danger following ?"
"You’re also Asian, you should know, given my situation, appearing publicly would surely attract the Holy See’s pursuit. Since I dare to co out, I’m naturally not afraid!" The woman said, full of confidence.
You knew that? I thought you didn’t!
Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but laugh internally.
Whether or not she’s afraid of being hunted is one thing, but appearing despite knowing there’s danger seems pretty foolish to .
"Fine, if you’re determined to offer your first ti, you can consider yourself my woman, I’ll give you a chance to tag along!" Ye Haochuan raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, you’re so annoying!" The woman cast a seductive glance and said, "Now that we’ve said what needs to be said, let’s find a place where you can enjoy my first ti properly!"
"Sure!" Ye Haochuan lifted the woman’s chin with a finger, wearing a sly grin on his face.
With the spirit veins secured, he didn’t really need anything else, but since the lady was so eager to offer, not accepting seed a little disrespectful to the audience.
The task of finding a secluded and romantic place ultimately fell on the Third Clan Leader. Soon, he led the two of them to a quiet courtyard.
This was originally his other residence, located beside an artificial lake. The surrounding area was full of sturdy bamboo, emitting a pastoral and idyllic vibe.
"Well then! What position do you want to try?" Once the Third Clan Leader left, Ye Haochuan chuckled.
"You’re so impatient! Go wash up first, I need to prepare!" The woman giggled.
"True, best to be nice and clean!" Ye Haochuan laughed, turning towards the bathroom.
While washing up, he suddenly heard a crashing sound outside, as if sothing had shattered.
Taking two steps out to investigate, Ye Haochuan found the woman hurriedly picking up broken ceramic shards on the ground.
Sohow, a simple cooking setup had appeared in the spacious hall, along with a pile of cooking ingredients, looking out of place against the lavish decoration.
"What are you doing?" Ye Haochuan asked in confusion.
"Obviously cooking..."
The woman just then raised her head, and Ye Haochuan noticed so soot on her fair face, making her look like a little cat.
"Ah~" The woman hadn’t finished speaking before suddenly covering her eyes and screaming, "You scoundrel! Why did you co out without any clothes on?"
"What’s the big deal? When we do that thing later, won’t you see it too?" Ye Haochuan retorted with a smirk.
"What thing requires taking off clothes?" The woman suddenly asked with a feigned innocent look.
"You..." Ye Haochuan suddenly understood, and with a cold face, demanded, "What exactly was the first ti you ntioned?"
"Of course, it’s cooking for the first ti!" The woman replied cheerfully, "You’re the first to ever try my cooking, isn’t that a huge honor?"
"What kind of honor is that!" Ye Haochuan cursed, "Who wants to eat your first-ti cooking? I wanted your..."
"What do you want?" The woman looked sowhat confused, but then seed to realize sothing, and exclaid, "Are you talking about that first ti?"
"Ugh!" The woman expressed with utter disgust, "Your thoughts are so filthy! I treat you as a friend, offering you food, and you actually thought of sleeping with ?"
Damn it, who said I want to be friends with you? And weren’t you the one leading on earlier?
Ye Haochuan wore a face full of frustration.
By now, how could Ye Haochuan not understand he had been tricked by this girl?
This girl, appearing harmless, was actually just a cunning trickster, constantly toying with others.
There’s no way she didn’t know what I wanted when talking about the first ti, not a chance.
However, Ye Haochuan’s frustration soon faded.
Before coming, he’d already suspected she was up to sothing, just didn’t expect it to be this way.
"Ah well, with the spirit veins, I’m content!" Ye Haochuan laughed easily, swiftly put on clothes, and prepared to leave.
"Hey, where are you going? I’m not done yet! I promised you my first ti. If you leave now, won’t it waste all my effort?" The woman called after him. But from her voice, it wasn’t hard to detect a hint of victorious delight.
