Chapter 1822: Fulfilling the Promise

Just find Steward Liao for business matters; no need to look for me!

Xuan Yuan Ling said this naturally and was about to have someone fetch Steward Liao.

Ye Liuyun laughed, saying, "That won't do; the business is too big for him to decide!"

Hmph! Then I want to see how much resources you can bring out, so I can personally decide for you!

Xuan Yuan Ling also laughed, putting on a pretended serious look.

Ye Liuyun took out more than ten storage rings and handed one to Xuan Yuan Ling.

Take a look at this stuff—is it enough to ask you to step in?

Xuan Yuan Ling took it with a chuckle, but as soon as her divine sense swept over it, she jumped up from her chair.

Did you rob the Royal Mansion?

Xuan Yuan Ling exclaimed in surprise.

Haha, the Royal Mansion might not even have that many good things.

Ye Liuyun looked at her surprised expression and was quite satisfied.

Inside that storage ring were over two thousand five hundred intent crystal stones that Ye Liuyun and his group couldn't use.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun still had plenty of storage rings he hadn't shown her!

Xuan Yuan Ling stared at the other pile of storage rings in Ye Liuyun's hand and asked nervously, "Those storage rings aren't all filled with these, are they? If they were, I couldn't afford to exchange them!"

Ye Liuyun smiled and handed all those storage rings to Xuan Yuan Ling.

Immediately, he pulled out a gold card, waved it in front of Xuan Yuan Ling, and said, "Don't forget to give me half price!"

Got it!

Xuan Yuan Ling gave him a glare, but still had someone summon Steward Liao.

She also needed to discuss the exact prices of some items with Steward Liao.

Seeing so many items, Steward Liao became so excited his voice trembled.

They organized everything, made a list, then asked Ye Liuyun how he wanted to exchange them.

Exchange all intent crystal stones for larger intent crystal stones, medicinal pills and weapons for fifth-rank pills, and other supplies for medium-grade crystal stones.

Next, Ye Liuyun also gave the varieties and other details of the intent crystal stones and medicinal pills.

Then Steward Liao got busy.

The martial cultivators of Yellow Emperor Tower mobilized again, moving resources from the treasure vault.

After working hard for a while, Xuan Yuan Ling handed Ye Liuyun three storage rings: "Big Rich Ye, you currently only need this much."

Especially the intent crystal stones of heavenly-earth power and space power—I've given you those; the rest we need to procure from other shops, and if there's a shortage we'll have to trade with peers.

You'll need to wait about half a month.

We also owe you some medicinal pills, to be delivered together in half a month.

The crystal stones are already here.

This list shows what we still owe you; please check it!

Ye Liuyun checked the items, nodded satisfied, and deliberately exaggeratedly said, "Hmm, not bad."

Yellow Emperor Tower's efficiency is indeed high! Next time I exchange resources, I'll still come to you guys.

Xuan Yuan Ling also laughed, saying, "Forget it! With this exchange, we won't make it back for months."

You'd better not come often in the future!

Ye Liuyun gave a hehe laugh.

Actually, Hua Xiangyuan also expected Yellow Emperor Tower to be short on supplies and promised Ye Liuyun they could exchange some intent crystal stones with him.

But exchanging with Yellow Emperor Tower at half price—this discount is something he can't pass up.

It's just waiting an extra half month; Ye Liuyun doesn't lack that bit of time now.

During this period he just happened to be thinking about how to take down Xuan Yuan Yu.

Alright, the transaction is done—shouldn't Miss Xuan Yuan also fulfill her promise and treat me to a drink? I've been waiting half a day and I'm hungry!

Ye Liuyun laughed.

You're so rich now, yet you're embarrassed to let me buy you a drink? I haven't even said I'd let you treat me!

Xuan Yuan Ling nearly spat blood from anger.

Ye Liuyun then hehe-laughed and said, "Yellow Emperor Tower always values reputation."

Miss Xuan Yuan promised me something; how could I let you break your word? I must give you this chance!

Then do I still have to thank you?

Xuan Yuan Ling, furious, turned and walked away.

Hey? Do you keep your word or not? Are you eating or not?

Ye Liuyun raised his voice and shouted.

You... you're ruthless! Wait for me!

Xuan Yuan Ling stomped her foot, turned, and was about to leave again.

Then when am I supposed to wait until? I'm hungry right now!

Ye Liuyun didn't know what she was going to do, so he asked again.

"You... you're ruthless! Wait for me!"

Xuan Yuan Ling stamped her foot, turned around, and was about to leave again.

"Then how long do I have to wait?

I'm hungry now!"

Ye Liuyun also didn't know what she was up to, so he had to ask again.

"I'll go change clothes, okay?"

Xuan Yuan Ling got so angry that his/her face turned red.

"Is it really this formal just to have a meal?"

Ye Liuyun glanced at his clothes and muttered softly, "I can't even afford good clothes!"

"…" Xuan Yuan Ling was completely speechless, too lazy to bother with him, and hurried out of the private room.

Ye Liuyun smiled at the nearby Liao Steward and said, "Your miss is so stingy, she can't even spare a piece of clothing for me."

Liao Steward, standing nearby, was completely dumbfounded.

He had never seen their miss in such a coquettish, delicate lady form.

And regarding Ye Liuyun, he could only be speechless.

They were about to clear out the Xuan Yuan Building, yet he claimed he couldn't afford a piece of clothing and expected their miss to give him one.

This is downright unreasonable!

He chuckled, bowed his hand toward Ye Liuyun, and left the private room.

Fearing that Ye Liuyun might ask him to deliver something again later.

Ye Liuyun didn't wait long before Xuan Yuan Ling appeared in a green long dress, like a lotus emerging from water, complemented by several exquisite accessories that made them look even more noble.

"I'm leaving! Are you doing this on purpose to get back at me and make me feel ashamed?"

Ye Liuyun also felt that his own attire was far from Xuan Yuan Ling's.

"Hmph! I did it on purpose, so what?"

Xuan Yuan Ling lifted their head and said deliberately.

"Alright, alright, you win! I won't argue with you; as long as there's food, that's fine."

"Shall we go?"

Ye Liuyun immediately stood up and left with Xuan Yuan Ling.

At the doorway waited a vehicle pulled by two Barbarian Oxen.

After stepping out, Xuan Yuan Ling got straight onto the vehicle.

"Is it far?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

Xuan Yuan Ling retorted, "I'm dressed like this; do you expect me to walk there with you?"

"Haha, that's true! You're a refined lady, you can't compare with a wildling like me!"

Ye Liuyun caught on, leapt onto the vehicle, and slipped into the carriage.

From the outside the carriage seemed small, but inside it was surprisingly spacious, equipped with tea sets, a zither, and chess pieces—everything complete.

"Can you still play the zither?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

Xuan Yuan Ling disdainfully said, "If you want to hear me play, it'll be one Crystal Stone per piece."

"Then never mind! I wouldn't listen anyway!"

Ye Liuyun gave up outright.

He wouldn't spend a Crystal Stone just to hear a tune.

"What, you're reluctant?"

"You also went to Warm Fragrance Pavilion before to listen to music, didn't you?"

Xuan Yuan Ling teased Ye Liuyun.

"I was there for official business! Otherwise, what would you think I'd be doing at such a place?"

Ye Liuyun said with great righteousness.

"Oh?"

"Is that so?"

"Where did that Hua Xiangyuan from Warm Fragrance Pavilion go?"

"Do you dare say her disappearance has nothing to do with you?"

"Others may not know, but you can't deceive me!"

Xuan Yuan Ling stared at Ye Liuyun and asked.

"How would I know! I only made a deal with him! As for where she's going, how could I know, and I can't even ask."

"That's the rule!"

Ye Liuyun said deliberately.
