Chapter 1389: Huge Returns

Man Shu originally wanted to keep Ye Liuyun.

But when the words reached her lips, she couldn't bring herself to say them.

Ye Liuyun had done her a huge favor, and she couldn't rely on her own strength to forcibly keep him.

Doing so would leave Ye Liuyun dissatisfied, and she herself couldn't get past that hurdle in her heart.

"All right! Since you insist on leaving, I won't stop you! But wait a moment—I know there are many resources inside Xuecheng you can take!"

Man Shu told Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun directly refused her kindness: "No need! I'd rather leave it for you! Rebuilding Xuecheng also needs plenty of resources—I've already gotten quite a lot from Xie Tianhong."

"This trip hasn't been in vain!"

Man Shu laughed: "I know you helped me not for the resources.

What I want to give you are things that we and Xuecheng have no use for, but you can use.

You'd better take them; leaving them here would be useless!"

"Well then, I'd rather obey than stand on ceremony!"

Ye Liuyun also stopped being polite—since Man Shu had no use for them, not taking them would be wasteful.

So Ye Liuyun followed Man Shu to a place near the palace that looked like a storage room.

"These are all things collected by that Foreign Tribe—feel free to take everything!"

Man Shu opened the door and let Ye Liuyun take whatever he wanted!

Ye Liuyun was also stunned—inside lay a pile of Storage Rings.

He swept his Divine Sense over them and found each Storage Ring contained plenty of good stuff.

Ye Liuyun's clone waved a hand, lifting all the Storage Rings, while Ye Liuyun himself sorted and inspected them inside the Space World.

There was nothing inside bearing the Foreign Tribe's evil aura.

They should be resources the Foreign Tribe gathered while leading Demon Cultivators from various places.

This is literally like a pie falling from the sky.

Ye Liuyun was overjoyed—he hadn't expected such a huge haul.

But that wasn't the end of it.

Man Shu then brought Ye Liuyun to an open clearing.

It resembled a small square, utterly unnoticeable.

Man Shu released her Divine Sense.

Immediately, the entrance to a Secret Realm appeared.

"Come in with me—it's very safe here!"

Man Shu said, stepping into the Secret Realm first.

Ye Liuyun followed her in.

Upon entering, Ye Liuyun was also shocked.

Inside lay a large quantity of Energy Crystal Balls.

"These were gathered by our Snow Tribe's predecessors when they went out to collect—so I know other worlds exist beyond this one!"

Man Shu brought Ye Liuyun along, looking and explaining at the same time.

Then he pointed to a pile of Energy Crystal Balls and told Ye Liuyun: "Those Energy Crystal Balls are useless to our Snow Tribe people—you can take them all!"

Ye Liuyun sensed them; although some of the energy wasn't very pure, he could basically use them all.

Inside there were even a few Demon Race Energy Balls—Lei Ming could benefit from them as well.

There were also some ferocious beast's Essence Pellets, etc., that Long Nv could use.

"Thank you so much!"

After Ye Liuyun gathered the items, he repeatedly thanked Man Shu.

"In this Secret Realm, I'm just like an ordinary person—I can't use any power!"

Man Shu said to Ye Liuyun.

"What do you mean?"

Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

"Seeing so many resources, I only gave you a little, and you're not moved?"

"If you wanted to seize them by force, this would be the perfect chance!"

Man Shu laughed.

The Energy Balls Ye Liuyun took amounted to less than one-tenth.

What Man Shu said was also all true.

In this Secret Realm, the Snow Tribe cannot use martial force.

This was the designers' original concern—fearing the Snow Tribe might accidentally destroy this place, so they made it that way.

Ye Liuyun, however, spoke solemnly: "A gentleman loves wealth, but acquires it rightly! Though I need resources greatly, I never even thought of taking what I shouldn't."

On the contrary, you view me this way?"

Ye Liuyun didn't bother to consider whether Man Shu was testing him.

But since she harbored such thoughts, it shows Man Shu still hasn't fully trusted him.

Seeing Ye Liuyun angry, Man Shu also said to him: "Our Snow Tribe has been deceived repeatedly, ultimately leading to our extermination."

I also truly can't read people's intentions, so I just wanted to test you again—hope you can understand!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun reflected on the Snow Tribe's experiences and could also understand Man Shu's feelings.

"I can understand you! Forget it—let's consider this matter over."

I won't bring it up again, and you shouldn't keep testing me either!

He also had no choice but to say so.

Man Shu nodded gratefully and led Ye Liuyun out of the secret realm.

After they left, the secret realm vanished again on its own.

It appears that this secret realm can only be summoned by Snow Clan people.

"But I'm leaving now, why are you still testing me?"

Ye Liuyun thought it over, felt something was wrong, and so asked.

Man Shu's face flushed slightly, and she said shyly to Ye Liuyun, "I just hope you'll come again someday—that's why I showed you these resources!"

Ye Liuyun shook his head and said, "Even if I come again, I'll only be coming to see friends—not for these resources."

"Just friends?"

Man Shu wondered to herself.

But she didn't say it aloud.

She told Ye Liuyun, "Our Snow Clan is sincere with people and doesn't like to fight! I tested you again just to confirm your character—my ultimate goal is to get a promise from you!"

"Oh?"

"What promise?"

Ye Liuyun still thought she had some major matter to entrust to him, so he didn't dare answer immediately, but prepared to assess the situation first.

If it exceeded his abilities, he wouldn't dare agree.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's solemn expression, Man Shu suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

Ye Liuyun also froze.

"The promise I want is that you come again before you leave this world!"

Man Shu said to Ye Liuyun.

"Just that? I promise you! But why must I come again?"

Seeing that Man Shu's request was so simple, Ye Liuyun immediately agreed.

But he didn't understand why Man Shu made such a request.

"Then don't ask! I'm not ready yet."

"I'll tell you when the time comes!"

Man Shu didn't tell Ye Liuyun her thoughts.

"Alright then."

"Next time you tell me!"

Ye Liuyun didn't insist either.

"Remember your promise, don't forget! I'll be waiting here for you!"

Man Shu reminded Ye Liuyun.

"Okay!"

Ye Liuyun readily agreed.

He also recorded the coordinates here in the Black Tower.

Next time he comes, he doesn't want to go through the trouble of crossing Xueyu again.
