Chapter 1015: Need to Adapt

"Martial cultivators who can directly absorb demon qi and poison are few! My master really is capable!" the fire fox secretly thought.

And Ye Liuyun easily subdued three Honored Rank ferocious beasts, his mood naturally became very good.

The beast arena's matches and sales had basically ended; he immediately pulled Xia Tianqiong along, asking her to treat everyone to a meal.

He planned to give Xia Tianqiong a surprise during the meal, giving her that fire fox.

That female slave silently followed behind Ye Liuyun and them, walking out of the beast arena.

However, before they had walked far, Ye Liuyun and them were surrounded by over ten youngsters at the Zao Hua Realm.

"Kid, you offended me and still want to leave?"

The speaker was none other than that Cheng Young Master!

"Yo, here comes someone courting death!"

Ye Liuyun looked contemptuously at that Cheng Young Master, secretly communicating with the fire fox: "Perfect timing, I'll send you some martial cultivator's elemental pellets and food; afterward you can peacefully cultivate your demon transformation!"

The fire fox naturally had no objection and immediately agreed.

"Still dare say I'm courting death? I think you're tired of living! No need to waste words on him, just kill him outright—his treasures will be yours!"

The Cheng Young Master also didn't want to waste words with Ye Liuyun, lest night bring dreams; he immediately ordered everyone to attack.

"Heh, the treasures on me—you're afraid you can't take them!" Ye Liuyun said, directly releasing the fire fox.

As soon as the fire fox appeared, it not only released an aura that stunned those Zao Hua Realm people, but also directly cast an illusion, rendering them unable to move.

"Give me that person's soul!"

Ye Liuyun said, directly dragging that Cheng Young Master's soul into his own Zao Hua domain to begin a soul search. The rest he left to the fire fox.

The fire fox was not polite either, immediately beginning to devour them whole.

However, it was quite sensible; it kept the storage rings of those people.

By now Xia Tianqiong was completely dumbfounded. "This… this is the fire fox you just bought?"

Ye Liuyun was busy with the soul search and had no time for her. But the fire fox glanced at her and sent a voice transmission: "It's me! Madam, you're quite beautiful!"

She thought Xia Tianqiong was Ye Liuyun's wife. Since he called Ye Liuyun "master," naturally she should call his wife "madam."

Xia Tianqiong's face flushed red; before she could reply, the fire fox went off to devour more people.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun also finished the soul search.

That Cheng Young Master was indeed a member of the Cheng Clan. However, he was merely a descendant of the branch's manager, never having gone to the clan itself, and thus knew little information.

After Ye Liuyun waited for the fire fox to devour those people, he then took the fire fox back first, to avoid exposing it.

As for those storage rings, Ye Liuyun directly gave them to the female slave.

She saw that the female slave had no storage ring on her, making it inconvenient to carry things. That broken sword she still carried on her back was quite conspicuous.

"These… all for me?" the female slave said, somewhat disbelieving.

Ye Liuyun nodded: "Without a storage ring, it's inconvenient for you to carry things. As for other items, you may keep them; I don't lack them either."

Then he pointed to a storage ring and told the female slave that this ring could hold living creatures. Wear this one; later I'll give you a ferocious beast mount and a Divine Rank war blade.

The female slave dully held those storage rings in her palms, seemingly not yet reacting; she just kept holding them while following behind Ye Liuyun and them.

Ye Liuyun and Xia Tianqiong didn't notice her at all, assuming she had put the items away.

Only when they arrived at the restaurant, entered a private room, sat down, and had her sit as well did they notice she was still holding those storage rings.

"Why aren't you wearing it?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

The female slave stammered: "I… I've never worn one! This… isn't suitable!"

Ye Liuyun smiled and explained: "Just input your divine sense into it, erasing the original divine sense, and you can wear it. Then storing things will be convenient for you!"

"Yeah! Just wear it if he tells you to! He doesn't lack this little thing!" Xia Tianqiong also urged.

"Mm!"

The female slave nodded and tried to input her divine sense into it.

Then she let out a "yah" cry.

"What's wrong?" Ye Liuyun thought there might be a ferocious beast inside: "Is there a ferocious beast in there? Don't worry, you can use your divine sense to control those beasts!"

However, the female slave directly placed those storage rings on the table in front of Ye Liuyun.

"There's something inside!"

Ye Liuyun, puzzled, probed them with his divine sense and found that these storage rings contained some spirit stones, pills, Honored Rank treasures, and some daily-use items.

Inside there were no ferocious beasts, nor any divine artifacts.

"Nothing much?" Ye Liuyun didn't quite understand what the female slave was afraid of.

"Spirit stones, treasures!" the female slave said stiffly, eyes wide open as she looked at Ye Liuyun.

"Oh, the things inside are all yours!"

Ye Liuyun said, then grabbed those storage rings and stuffed them into her hands.

"For me?" the female slave felt incredulous.

She had just glanced at one storage ring; the spirit stones inside already exceeded all the wealth of her former master.

Now Ye Liuyun actually wanted to give her all these things.

She found it hard to believe, thinking Ye Liuyun was joking with her. She felt that if she dared to take them, her master might possibly torture her in some way.

So she put the rings back, shaking her head repeatedly, saying: "I dare not, I dare not!"

Her body also shrank into a corner, trembling.

Ye Liuyun and Xia Tianqiong also realized that this female slave was likely accustomed to abuse, having never seen such good things before.

"Don't be afraid, I won't bully you! I have plenty of these things, so I don't mind this bit. Moreover, if you follow me, you'll always need some spirit stones in hand, in case you need to buy something!"

Ye Liuyun began patiently explaining to her.

Xia Tianqiong, meanwhile, had already ordered the dishes on the side, then came over to persuade her as well.

He is very wealthy, with so many Spirit Stones that they are piled into several mountains; he doesn't lack even this bit!

Xia Tianqiong gave an exaggerated explanation.

The female slave was half‑believing, half‑doubting.

When Ye Liuyun had just bought a ferocious beast, she could already tell that Ye Liuyun was very wealthy.

But her former master, however rich, would never give a slave Spirit Stones! Not to mention premium Spirit Stones, even low‑grade Spirit Stones she never received.

She has only ever handled crystal coins. Once, after she fought desperately and won a battle, her former master, delighted, gave her three crystal coins.

She never spends money. She kept those three crystal coins as treasured keepsakes.

But eventually, during another battle, she lost them, which frustrated her for a long while.
