Chapter 1017: Mysterious Transmission Voice

"This guy really struck treasure! Two supreme beasts of rank five, one supreme beast of rank one, a knife‑shaped core pill slave, fifty beasts in total, and it only cost a little over 100 million top‑grade Spirit Stones."

Xia Tianqiong silently calculated: a hundred million top‑grade Spirit Stones probably couldn't even buy a single fifth‑rank supreme Huo Hu.

So she didn't hold back—she not only selected a beast, but also quietly took a Gathering Core Tree from Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun said nothing, letting her do as she pleased.

Afterward, he released Xia Tianqiong and the slave, letting them continue eating.

And the slave now finally realized how wealthy Ye Liuyun truly was. She had been trying to tally his fortune earlier but still hadn't figured it out.

"Can you sit at the table and eat now?" Ye Liuyun asked her with a smile.

She first nodded instinctively, but then, realizing, she shook her head like a tambourine and still refused to sit down to eat.

Ye Liuyun, helpless, ordered some meat dishes just for her, letting her eat aside.

He even borrowed a set of new clothes from Long Nv for the slave: "You may change out of the clothes you're wearing."

The slave glanced at the exquisite outfit, quickly wiped her hands with it, and then took it.

She felt the fabric of the clothes and was reluctant to put them on for a moment.

Seeing her hesitation, Ye Liuyun encouraged her: "Go ahead and wear them; later we'll get you some properly fitting clothes to keep."

Hearing that, the slave finally nodded.

However, she didn't hold back from Ye Liuyun; she simply tore off her tattered clothes and then placed the new outfit on the bed.

The scene left Ye Liuyun and Xia Tianqiong staring in astonishment.

But the slave seemed unfazed. As a slave, she was lower than even the beasts, let alone any sense of privacy.

Moreover, all the slaves were the same—never getting enough food each day, they never thought about anything else.

"This… you really need to teach him properly when you go back!" Xia Tianqiong sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun.

"Yes, yes!" Ye Liuyun didn't know what else to say, so he could only agree repeatedly.

Then, he ordered many more meat dishes for the slave.

The slave's whole body was gaunt as wood and covered with scars, clearly the result of prolonged starvation, beatings, and battle wounds.

Xia Tianqiong said nothing, simply eating silently together with Ye Liuyun.

After they finished eating, Ye Liuyun finally remembered to ask the slave's name.

The slave was still busy eating; when Ye Liuyun asked, she hurriedly squeezed out two characters: "Dao Nu!"

"Shall I give you a new name?" Ye Liuyun thought that having the character 'slave' in the name was insulting.

The slave naively nodded; the master could call her any name he liked, no need to ask her.

"Your core pill, is it naturally knife‑shaped?" Ye Liuyun asked the slave.

The slave nodded in confirmation.

After thinking, Ye Liuyun said, "Then from now on you'll be called Ye Tiandao, right? I'll just call you Tiandao in daily life!"

"No, no." Xia Tianqiong immediately objected: "How can a woman be called Tiandao? It sounds like a male name!"

"Hmm!"

Nevertheless, the slave answered in one breath, "Alright."

To her, any name was the same. And this name lacked the 'slave' character, so she liked it and readily agreed.

"Sigh… you really aren't picky!" Xia Tianqiong was speechless about the slave.

"It's just a name; as long as it's distinctive and easy to remember, that's fine!" Ye Liuyun, not really good at naming, was too lazy to think of a prettier one.

Thus, the name Ye Tiandao was set.

He waited until Ye Tiandao could no longer eat, then placed her back into the Space World.

His clone took her to the Life Spring Water to let her recover her body.

But Ye Tiandao, fearing her clothes would get wet, carefully removed and stored them before jumping into the pool.

The clone immediately began instructing her: "Tiandao, when you change clothes in the future, you can let me step aside!"

Ye Tiandao looked at him puzzled and said, "I wouldn't dare!"

Saying that, she also stood up timidly.

Ye Liuyun could only wave his hand, letting her soak in, and walked away alone.

He sighed inwardly: "Better to take it slow from now on. Once she gets familiar with me and knows what kind of person I am, she'll change."

Lei Ming and Long Nv watched, both greatly astonished.

"Big brother, I want to be like her too!" Lei Ming immediately clung to Ye Liuyun, laying out conditions.

"Don't even think about it. Stop causing more trouble!"

The clone drove Lei Ming away, then retrieved the Divine Splitting‑Mountain Sword. It also selected several supreme‑rank Defense Artifacts, preparing to give them to Ye Tiandao after she finished soaking.

It also prepared a Divine Sword for her as a means of self‑defense.

It even roasted plenty of meat for Ye Tiandao, and allocated some meat, pills, and Spirit Stones to be stored for her.

Ye Liuyun himself went with Xia Tianqiong to a merchant guild, buying many clothes and daily necessities for Ye Tiandao as reserves.

Afterwards, the two returned to the residence prepared for them by the War Dragon Sect.

However, at this moment Ye Liuyun sensed the masked mysterious person reappear.

Moreover, it was clear that his Divine Sense deliberately swept toward Ye Liuyun so he would notice.

Ye Liuyun was pondering how to respond when the mysterious person suddenly sent a Transmission Voice: "Come see me alone! News about your parents!"

After speaking, the mysterious person sprinted off into the distance.

Hearing it concerned his parents, Ye Liuyun didn't dare delay and immediately sent Xia Tianqiong into his Space World to wait.

"Tianqiong, go into my Space World and wait a while; I'm going to handle something!"

"Huh? What's wrong? What are you going to do?" Xia Tianqiong, seeing Ye Liuyun's serious expression, asked immediately.

"No time to explain! You go in first, I'll tell you later!"

If Xia Tianqiong disagreed, he couldn't pull her in, so he anxiously urged her onward, fearing that a long delay would cause him to lose the mysterious person.

"Alright!" Seeing Ye Liuyun's anxious expression, Xia Tianqiong could only agree.

Ye Liuyun then immediately pulled her into the Space World and chased after the direction in which the mysterious person had fled.

"Information about my parents? Could it be true? If it's false, then that person must be someone close to me; few people know I'm searching for my parents!"

Ye Liuyun pondered in his mind while pursuing.

The mysterious person had already attained the Ninth Layer Early Stage, so Ye Liuyun wasn't at all worried about his own safety.

The mysterious person also wasn't deliberately shaking him off; instead, he kept leading the way a short distance ahead.
