The night wind rustled …

When Ye Zichen, with his upper body naked, returned to the yard he rented, he vaguely saw a slim and graceful figure standing outside. He was stunned and stopped in his tracks.

"How could it be her? Why did she come to White Emperor City? "

"You must be looking for me to end the engagement."

Ye Zichen guessed Ji Qingxue's purpose in finding him, then went straight to the point.

"What? Do you want to break off all relations with me?" Ji Qing Xue was startled as she looked at him with her burning eyes.

"Don't you want to?" Ye Chenfeng revealed a faint smile and asked a question in reply.

"If I don't want to, do you believe me?" Ji Qing Xue replied, "If I wanted to break off the engagement, I wouldn't have come by myself."

"Then what did you come here for …" Ye Chenfeng frowned slightly. He could not think of the reason for Ji Qingxue's sudden visit.

"What? Aren't you going to invite me in?"

Ji Qingxue calmly looked at Ye Chenfeng. She discovered that Ye Chenfeng had truly changed. If it was in the past, even if he restrained himself, Ye Chenfeng would still feel slightly excited when he saw her.

But now, the gaze with which Ye Chenfeng looked at him was so calm that it was terrifying.

"If you don't mind my being dirty, come in."

With that, Ye Zichen pushed open the heavily painted scarlet gate and walked into the messy earth courtyard with Ji Qingxue.

Ji Qingxue couldn't help but frown as he looked at the environment Ye Zichen was living in. As the precious daughter of the Ji Clan, when had she ever been to this sort of place before?

When she thought about the dirty and messy place she would live in for a while with Ye Zichen, Ji Qingxue's determination wavered a little.

However, when she thought of the aggressive Jiang Clan, how they would end up in the hands of Jiang Shanshui, and how they would cultivate in the virtual world, Ji Qingxue became determined again.

"Do you want some water?"

Ye Zichen took a set of clothes from the room and put it on before going to the simple and crude outer room. He looked at Ji Qingxue, who was standing in the room like a fairy, and asked softly.

"Thank you, I'm not thirsty."

Ji Qing Xue shook her head. Her voice was as moving as an oriole.

"Speak, why have you come all the way to find me? You can't be here to see me, can you? " Ye Chenfeng sat on a worn out teacher's chair and asked as he looked at Ji Qingxue.

"He's really different."

A thought appeared in Ji Qingxue's mind. However, when she thought about how even if Ye Chenfeng changed, it would not change the fact that he did not have a soul beast, she quickly dismissed the distracting thoughts in her head.

"I... I want to marry you. "

Ji Qing Xue hesitated for a moment as she bit her rosy lips and revealed her true purpose.

"Get married …" He looked at Ji Qingxue's beautiful face and said, "Don't beat around the bush. With your talent and status, you would never willingly marry a trash like me, who was chased out of the family by the Ye family. Did you encounter some trouble and want to use me as a shield?"

"I …"

Ji Qingxue did not expect Ye Chenfeng to be so sharp. His single move had messed up all the plans in her mind, leaving her speechless.

"Tell me your true purpose, or I'll send you off."

Ye Zichen said without a hint of emotion, while his decisive tone caused Ji Qingxue to feel a bit guilty.

"I'm in trouble!" Ji Qingxue took a deep breath and told Ye Zichen everything that had happened to her.

"Jiang Shanshui pursued you. Why did you think of using me as a shield? Do you think the Jiang Clan would believe that you're willing to marry a trash?" Ye Chenfeng laughed self-deprecatingly and said.

"Because we have been engaged since we were young, this is something the entire Violet Gold Imperial City knows."

"Regardless of whether they believe me or not, as long as our marriage turns out to be a reality, with Jiang Shanshui's arrogant nature, he will most likely give up on me. My grandfather will also give up on the idea because of the shame of his family."

"The most important thing is that I have already cultivated to the sixth level of the spirit beast practitioner realm. If I could break through to the Illusory Beast Master Realm at the age of 16, then I don't think my grandfather would have sacrificed me."

Because his little trick had been seen through by Ye Chen from the very beginning, Ji Qingxue could only change her strategy, put down her image and face, and bitterly beg him.

"Ji Qing Xue, have you thought about the consequences of this matter?"

Although Ye Chenfeng, who received the supreme inheritance, was not like before, he was still too weak. He was unable to fight against the number one family in Zi Jin Kingdom, the Jiang family.

"I know that this is extremely unfair to you. While the Jiang Clan might possibly retaliate against you for this matter, I truly do not have any other choice. I do not wish to be ruined by that bastard Jiang Shanshui in my lifetime." Ji Qing Xue replied pitifully.

At that moment, Ye Chenfeng really wanted to refuse, but he did like Ji Qingxue. He did not want to see her get ruined by Jiang Shanshui. As he looked at her pitiful and helpless expression, Ye Chenfeng's heart softened.

"Ye Zichen, I want you to promise me that after this is over, I will give you a huge sum of money so that you can leave this place. At that time, even if the Jiang family wants to take revenge on you, it will be impossible."

Ji Qingxue bit her red lips and promised as she looked at Ye Chenfeng, who was deep in thought.

"Can you pay for this money in advance?"

Ye Chenfeng needed money very much right now. If he could buy enough cultivation resources, then with the inheritance he had obtained, his power would increase by leaps and bounds. At that time, even if the Jiang family wanted to take revenge on him, he would still have to consider it.

"Sure, how much do you want?"

Ji Qingxue did not think that Ye Chenfeng, who was hesitating, would change his mind because of the money. He revealed a surprised expression.

"1,000,000 silver." Ye Chenfeng said plainly.

"I only have 300,000 silver on me right now, but I promise you, I'll think of a way to gather the 1,000,000 silver for you." Ji Qingxue took out a stack of silver notes and looked at Ye Zichen as she spoke.

"Deal!" Ye Zichen received the silver notes from Ji Qingxue and agreed.

For some reason, the moment Ji Qingxue saw Ye Zichen keep the silver, she felt a strange tug in her heart. It was as if the trade between them had caused her to lose something very precious.
