Chapter 2000: At a Loss

"Do you two have anything you want to buy?"

Ye Liuyun finally asked Feng Hong Xiu and Qing Yan again.

Qing Yan immediately said no, but Feng Hong Xiu deliberately thrust her chest toward Ye Liuyun and, alluringly, asked, "What?

Are you going to buy a gift for me?

How about just giving me that little white cat?

I'll trade my white cat for it!"

"Hehe!"

Ye Liuyun laughed awkwardly, "Don't misunderstand, I was just asking."

"If you have something to buy, go ahead; I'll wait here!"

Feng Hong Xiu almost vomited blood from Ye Liuyun's anger.

"You… really are… generous!"

Ye Liuyun immediately changed the subject, asking Ling Er to arrange lodging for them.

Ling Er promptly led Ye Liuyun and the others to the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance inn district and found a quiet Side Courtyard for them.

After assigning rooms to Feng Hong Xiu and the half‑beast werewolf, Ye Liuyun took Qing Yan into the Space World to check Ye Tiandao's training progress for the newcomers.

Ye Tiandao also equipped those newcomers with weapons and armor from the spoils of the previous Spear‑Tip Brigade and was conducting individual special training on them.

Bai Hu was running around the Space World with the little white tiger; when he saw Ye Liuyun return, he rushed over and asked Ye Liuyun to give it a name.

"Just call it Little White!"

Ye Liuyun has always been casual when naming.

Thus the little white tiger got a new name: Little White.

For Little White's cultivation—its pills, ferocious‑beast core pills, and meat—Ye Liuyun had Bai Hu arrange them, and also gave Little White a Transforming Pill.

He also gave the pill formula to Lin Luoyi, asking her to brew more Transforming Pills.

The few Transforming Pills left in Ye Liuyun's hand were handed to Bai Hu to use on the Lion Tiger Beast, the Vermilion Bird, the Barbarian Ox, and other ferocious beasts for transformation.

Long Nv also brought that little girl to thank Ye Liuyun.

"Thank you, brother‑in‑law!"

The little girl said brightly to Ye Liuyun.

She called Long Nv sister and naturally called Ye Liuyun brother‑in‑law.

"Ha ha, will you bite me again?"

"What's your name?"

"How did you end up captured in the slave market?"

Ye Liuyun also started chatting with her.

"My name is Wen Tianjiao; I slipped out of the Dragon Clan to have fun, got separated from my brother, and was captured by bad people and taken there."

Although Wen Tianjiao is young, his description of the events is quite clear.

"Then can you transform into a dragon form for me to see?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

"Sure!"

Wen Tianjiao agreed enthusiastically and immediately turned into a little green dragon, soaring into the air.

Ye Liuyun nodded and instructed Long Nv, "Take her with you for now; we'll talk when we return to the Dragon Clan.

Don't let it delay your cultivation either.

Normally you can let her play with Lan Xin.

The two are close in age, so they can play together.

That little girl is no ordinary kid!"

Ye Liuyun, to make caring for Lan Xin easier, has already signed an equal contract with her, guaranteeing she won't leak secrets and keeping her by his side.

"Alright."

Long Nv gave a nod, transformed into a black dragon, flew with Wen Tianjiao into the sky to play for a while, then brought her down to look for Lan Xin.

Qing Yan was already staring dumbfounded at this point, not knowing where to begin asking.

"Your Space World is this big?

And that Bai Hu and that little girl..." Qing Yan said, looking at Ye Liuyun in shock.

"Yes, this is my Space World.

They are the ones I just purchased! Those Martial Cultivators currently training and the stationed soldiers form my elite army.

Come with me, and I'll introduce you to a few more friends.

By the way, what weapon do you usually use?"

"I use a sword!"

Qing Yan's mind was already blank, unable to think; whatever Ye Liuyun asked, she answered.

Ye Liuyun took her to Lan Xin.

"Qing Yan, whenever you have time, come help Lan Xin.

She is the chief steward here!"

After introducing them to each other, Ye Liuyun had Lan Xin find a sixth‑grade divine sword and armor for her.

"Your current realm isn't high, and your sword intent is weak, so use a sixth‑grade weapon first, lest you stand out too much."

"When your sword intent strengthens in the future, switch to a better weapon!"

Ye Liuyun explained this to her.

"Hmm!"

Qing Yan kept agreeing, feeling a bit at a loss.

The Sixth Tier weapon was already two grades higher than her original longsword.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun also gave the Ten Thousand Poison Heart Sutra and the Shadow Concealment Technique to Qing Yan, then handed her to Lan Xin, letting them get familiar with the environment and the people in the Space World.

Ye Liuyun himself returned to the Xuan Kong Shi to check the Shadow's transformation progress.

"Hmm, everything is going smoothly.

Perhaps after another forty days inside the Xuan Kong Shi, he can go out to join the battle against the Chengzhu Fu."

Ye Liuyun also had the Black Tortoise help the Shadow stock up on cultivation resources, so he could transform while raising his realm.

Then, he himself began cultivating inside the Xuan Kong Shi.

Soon after, Lan Xin led Qing Yan into the Xuan Kong Shi, handed her a Storage Ring, and let her cultivate here in peace.

"Lately I don't have any tasks for you, so just cultivate here for now! All the resources you need for cultivation are in this Storage Ring; when you run out, come find me for more!"

Lan Xin also knew Qing Yan still needed to go out frequently to help Ye Liuyun with some errands, so she arranged for Qing Yan to start cultivating first.

Qing Yan also saw the Black Tortoise undergoing transformation and that middle‑aged man shedding toxins here.

"My master truly has an eye for talent!"

Qing Yan praised in her heart while sitting down to calm her chaotic thoughts.

Being with Ye Liuyun was an eye‑opener for her; she couldn't quite accept it at once.

She never dreamed that Ye Liuyun could be so affluent.

Besides the True Dragon and Bai Hu and other prized Monster Beasts she had seen, there were resources like Magic Crystal Mountain, Fire Crystal Sun, Xuan Kong Shi, as well as transformed spiritual ginseng, whole pools of Life Spring Water, various Mineral Veins, medicinal herbs, ferocious beasts; the resources could be stacked in piles inside the Storage Ring, and the Divine Crystals and elixirs she used for cultivation were supplied endlessly…

She kept thinking, and couldn't help but smile.

"My luck is just too good!"

She felt excited just thinking about it.

She checked the Storage Ring Lan Xin had given her again.

Inside were not only Divine Crystals, Sword Intent Crystal Stones, refined Qi, body‑refining, and Seventh Tier soul‑condensing elixirs, but also resources for enhancing bloodlines and cultivating poison sources.

Moreover, she knew the Xuan Kong Shi provided ten times the normal time for her cultivation, making her even more excited and unable to sit still.

For a moment, she didn't know where to start cultivating!

Finally, unable to stay still, she ran out of the Xuan Kong Shi to chat with Lan Xin and Hua Xiangyuan sisters.

Ye Liuyun, upon learning of her thoughts, didn't intervene.

Usually newcomers go through an adjustment period; they'll get used to it gradually.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance, Wang Yufei immediately took a Healing Elixir, her broken arm bone healed, but the resentment in her heart remained unchanged.

After returning to Chengzhu Fu, she went to the City Lord Wang Tianqing, crying and lodging a complaint.

"This is outrageous! Which bastard dared to bully my daughter! Attendants, go investigate at once.

Keep an eye on that kid; don't let him get away!"
