Chapter 716

"Love is priceless as long as you like it!"

Ye Yu’s short eight words made Jiang Jinhe smile even more charmingly.

"I really didn’t expect that, Ye Demon Friend, you are so sentimental. A demon like you is truly rare.

But as far as I know, the wanted scroll has been out for quite some time.

Yet there’s still no news.

That’s really bad news.

How about this, Ye Demon Friend, you give me eight million demon stones, and I’ll be with you, how’s that?"

At this point, Jiang Jinhe reined in her smile and looked at Ye Yu very seriously.

Those bright eyes could move anything.

At that moment, on her colorful magical robe, a streak of flowing light seemed to slowly rotate.

Ye Yu was slightly distracted for a moment.

As his consciousness began to blur, a surge of power welled up from his chest and quickly filled his whole body, completely dispelling the negative state inside.

It was the Heavenly Realm’s Taichu Profound Skill.

Had he just been enchanted?

Sure enough, this newly appointed Demon King City Lord before him was not to be underestimated.

But Ye Yu had no intention to reveal this; instead, he deliberately pretended to have a dazed look and took a step forward.

Slowly approaching Jiang Jinhe.

Just as the two were about to fully come into contact,

Jiang Jinhe’s mouth drew a perfect arc.

Then she reached out to push Ye Yu away, but suddenly her wrist was grabbed.

"Has the City Lord changed his mind? You promised eight million demon stones, I can pay you right now!"

Jiang Jinhe was about to speak but suddenly saw the playful mockery in Ye Yu’s eyes.

Only then did she realize that everything just now was entirely deliberate.

He hadn’t been charmed by her at all.

This confirmed her suspicions.

This person in front of her was definitely a great Demon King without doubt.

"I’m not regretting, just that I don’t like it when other demons are nearby.

It makes me uncomfortable!"

Jiang Jinhe joked, shifting the blame onto Feng Zhenxin beside her.

Ye Yu smiled and said, "If you don’t like it, then let him leave!"

Feng Zhenxin said nothing, slightly bowed, then left the ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) room directly.

Leaving them the chance to be alone.

Jiang Jinhe narrowed her eyes slightly.

What does this mean? Could it be he really has other intentions toward me?

Don’t be ridiculous!

Eight million demon stones is indeed an astronomical number, but for a Demon King realm powerhouse, demon stones’ effect is already very small.

Whether one can break through realms depends on opportunity, talent, and constitution.

So to Jiang Jinhe, demon stones are unimportant.

And there’s no way she would be with Ye Yu just for eight million demon stones.

Just as Jiang Jinhe was about to confront Ye Yu,

she saw him casually sit down in the main seat.

He poured two cups of demon tea and made a gesture inviting her.

Seeing this, Jiang Jinhe walked over directly and sat opposite Ye Yu.

She didn’t even glance at the demon tea before her.

To her, she had just tested Ye Yu once with enchantment, so naturally he would find a way to regain the upper hand.

This tea was very likely problematic, so she wouldn’t drink it unless absolutely necessary.

But Ye Yu didn’t think too much about it.

Instead, he bluntly asked, "Since the City Lord came today, why not just say what it’s about.

We’re not close, but there’s no need to beat around the bush. After all, you are a great Demon King, and time is precious."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinhe stopped fidgeting.

"Liangxin Workshop is very important to Jianyao City. The reason I gave up my secluded cultivation and came here is partly because of Liangxin Workshop.

To be honest with you, in the future, I will need Liangxin Workshop to do me a small favor.

So who owns it isn’t important.

What matters is that it must be within my sphere of influence.

If anyone wants to move it away, that person is my enemy!"

Hearing this,

Ye Yu couldn’t help but laugh.

"I never said I want to move Liangxin Workshop away. I’m just using this place to find someone.

City Lord, you’re overthinking."

"I hope so!

As long as Liangxin Workshop stays in Jianyao City, whatever you want to do, I won’t interfere."

Jiang Jinhe carefully stared into Ye Yu’s eyes,

hoping to see something, but unfortunately, nothing.

Then Ye Yu once again seriously told Jiang Jinhe that he absolutely had no intention to move Liangxin Workshop, so she shouldn’t overthink.

In response, Jiang Jinhe immediately made a move, claiming she could also help with the wanted scroll’s matter as a gesture of goodwill.

After agreeing,

Jiang Jinhe prepared to leave.

But as she got up, she suddenly heard Ye Yu laugh and say, "About what you told me before—the eight million demon stones in exchange for being with me—is that still on?"

Jiang Jinhe stopped, frowning slightly.

Just about to speak,

a strange glow radiated from under her feet.

When she turned again, she found herself already teleported outside Liangxin Workshop.

Looking at the towering giant tower ahead,

Jiang Jinhe couldn’t help but laugh softly.

Whispering, "Interesting."

......

In the Underworld.

In a secret realm at the extreme north.

This was the legendary Dark Forest.

Dongkui and Ying Naiyan, after tremendous effort, finally killed all three Wangtian Tree Beings.

The two sat on broken tree stumps to rest.

"You didn’t say before that these three Tree Beings would be so tough, really exhausted me!"

Dongkui couldn’t help but complain.

Even with her Ghost King realm cultivation, she was in grave danger in the recent fight.

Had she known this, she would have prepared more before coming.

Ying Naiyan shook her head slightly and said, "Master, these are the legendary Wangtian Tree Beings. Killing three is enough for you to brag about your whole life.

Alright, let’s prepare to move on!

The sooner we get to the Heavenly Realm, the calmer we will be!"

After saying this, Ying Naiyan raised her hand and pointed ahead.

Following her finger was a severely withered ancient tree.

From its appearance, it was completely dead.

Coupled with the dim surroundings, it gave a terrifying and desolate feeling.

Dongkui’s expression turned serious: "Just to be clear, you’re going to the Heavenly Realm alone. I’m not going.

Also, do you really think this thing can help you succeed in going to the Heavenly Realm?

Feels kind of mystical.

Don’t let anyone fool you!"

"Impossible to be fooled. Last time, I almost succeeded!

If not for...

Never mind, come with me first, I guarantee this thing will work, just needs some technique."

Ying Naiyan walked to the dead old tree and took out a basin-sized glowing orb from her storage ring.

This was the spring source of the Night Ghost Spring.

Ying Naiyan carefully placed it in the center of the dead tree.

Soon, the spring source merged with the old tree.

Immediately, the secret realm started to shake violently.

The next second, the old tree revived, bursting with vitality and growing rapidly.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Ying Naiyan’s face.

It’s starting, this time it will definitely succeed!
