Chapter 592: Cooperation

Seeing Liu Ruyan remain silent, Ye Lin was in no rush, instead continuing to speak.

"To show my sincerity in cooperating, I can tell you a piece of news first."

"Qiu Weizhi is currently setting up a killing array at the entrance of the mine, intending to kill both of us inside this mine."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's expression changed slightly.

"Then why are you still so calm?"

"Oh, don't worry, the killing array he is setting up can only kill you, it can't kill me."

Ye Lin said, patting his chest.

Long before Qiu Weizhi began to make his move, Ban Muming, who was responsible for keeping watch, had already reported the entire situation to him.

Liu Ruyan fell silent again; she truly did not know what she had to be reassured about in this situation.

"How exactly do you want to cooperate? Are we joining forces to get rid of Qiu Weizhi?" Liu Ruyan couldn't help but ask.

"No, no, no, a Qiu Weizhi is not enough to make me go to such great lengths."

Ye Lin waved his hand and then continued to ask.

"I have taken a liking to your illusion and charm arts; I want you to work for me."

Ye Lin already had a rough plan in his mind.

On the Longevity Continent, one cannot move an inch without Immortal Source Stones.

Therefore, he had to rack his brains to earn enough Immortal Source Stones first.

Originally, he had intended to kill Liu Ruyan directly, but upon discovering her abilities, he suddenly changed his mind.

Liu Ruyan's abilities might just allow him to successfully earn his first pot of gold on the Longevity Continent!

"Work for you? And what benefit do I get?" Liu Ruyan frowned.

"You can obtain Yang energy, an inexhaustible supply of Yang energy." Ye Lin wore a smile on his face.

The cultivation technique Liu Ruyan practiced was clearly of the dual-cultivation type; this condition was one she simply could not refuse.

"Why should I trust you?" Liu Ruyan said coldly.

"If you don't believe me, you can continue to absorb Yang energy from me until you've had enough," Ye Lin said.

"Are you not afraid of death?"

Liu Ruyan furrowed her beautiful brows.

For those men who attempted to possess her, she only ever dared to absorb one-tenth of their Yang energy.

That way, even if they felt physically weak when they woke up the next day, they would only think it was due to overexertion the day before.

Furthermore, losing one-tenth of one's Yang energy could still be recovered through slow nourishment.

But once all the Yang energy was drained in one go, the other person would undoubtedly die!

"You can't drain me to death; don't you know what kind of constitution I have?"

Ye Lin smiled confidently, his face cold and stern, as he spouted nonsense.

"Don't say one Liu Ruyan, even if a hundred more Liu Ruyans came, it would be impossible to drain all the Yang energy from my body."

"Because... I possess the Pure Yang Constitution!"

Liu Ruyan was slightly stunned; she had indeed heard the name of this constitution.

The Pure Yang Constitution is also known as the Innate Virgin Saint Body.

A cultivator with this constitution, as long as they maintain their virginity and stay away from women, can advance their cultivation by leaps and bounds!

But once they break their vow and cannot resist the temptation of women, the cultivation speed of the Pure Yang Constitution will plummet, becoming worse than even those with dull talent.

If the other party truly had the Pure Yang Constitution, he could indeed provide her with a continuous supply of Yang energy.

"Fine, one try will tell!"

A cold glint flashed in Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes.

She no longer hesitated, not even bothering to hide it, and began to frantically absorb Yang energy from Ye Lin.

Yet, the more she absorbed, the more alarmed she became.

In a short amount of time, the total amount of Yang energy she had absorbed from Ye Lin was already equivalent to the sum of Yang energy from ten male ascenders.

But even so, Ye Lin showed no signs of weakness and was still full of energy.

Liu Ruyan was secretly delighted; this Ye Lin was undoubtedly a walking, human-shaped experience pack for her.

"Alright, that's enough."

Just as Liu Ruyan intended to have her fill in one go, Ye Lin reached out and pinched her red lips.

"Qiu Weizhi's killing array is almost finished; if you keep staying here, you're going to die here."

"And you?" Liu Ruyan asked in return.

Judging by Ye Lin's meaning, he seemed to intend to continue staying in the mine?

"Just do as I say, don't ask so many questions."

Ye Lin couldn't be bothered to explain anything to Liu Ruyan; his soul-body army was still inside, frantically digging for Immortal Source Stones.

As long as he could hold out through today, Ye Lin would have enough energy to reshape his body; how could he possibly leave at such a critical moment?

"I understand."

Liu Ruyan took a deep look at Ye Lin.

She always felt that this guy seemed to have many more secrets.

At the very least, as far as she knew, the Pure Yang Constitution had no way to be immune to her charm arts.

Liu Ruyan walked straight out of the mine and bumped into Qiu Weizhi at the entrance.

"Why did you come out so soon?"

Qiu Weizhi's expression changed wildly; his killing array was still a little bit off.

"I come out whenever I feel like it."

Liu Ruyan curled her lips slightly.

"What about you, Team Leader? What are you doing sneaking around here? You wouldn't be trying to take the opportunity to kill me, would you?"

"Of course not, how could I want to kill you?"

Qiu Weizhi waved his hands repeatedly, the smile on his face looking slightly awkward.

"It's good that you don't. Don't worry, Team Leader, your secret—I'll be eating off it for a lifetime."

Liu Ruyan giggled, her eyes alluring like silk.

Yet, no evil intent could be seen on Qiu Weizhi's face, only thick resentment.

Decades ago, a female ascender and Liu Ruyan were brought back to the 81st Mining District together.

Qiu Weizhi, overcome by a moment of evil desire, wanted to make a move on Liu Ruyan.

As it turned out, he hadn't expected Liu Ruyan to be extremely skilled in illusion and charm arts, and Qiu Weizhi fell for it by accident.

Through a twist of fate, the muddle-headed Qiu Weizhi turned his claws toward that female ascender, and Liu Ruyan even kept the evidence.

If that were all, it would be one thing, but that female ascender happened to be lucky; her talent was spotted by a passing cultivator, and she became a disciple of the Immortal Cloud Sect!

When Qiu Weizhi learned of this news, he was nearly scared out of his mind.

Compared to a disciple of the Immortal Cloud Sect, he, a mere team leader of a mining district, was no different from an ant.

The other party wouldn't even need to take action personally; as long as she showed she disliked him, it wouldn't be long before he, Qiu Weizhi, would disappear from this world for no reason.

Fortunately, that female ascender was in a coma at the time and did not discover the incident.

And this incident became a secret between Liu Ruyan and Qiu Weizhi.

Relying on this advantage, Liu Ruyan lived extremely comfortably in the 81st Mining District.

It was precisely because of this that Qiu Weizhi had always wanted to get rid of Liu Ruyan, yet never dared to do it himself.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now, Team Leader~"

Liu Ruyan waved her hand and left directly.

"Wait! What about that Ye Lin who went into the mine with you?" Qiu Weizhi asked in pursuit.

"Him? After entering the mine, I acted as his counselor, and then he just passed out from the guidance."
