Chapter 3423: Qualified Character

Ye Liuyun shook his head and retorted: "This has nothing to do with gender. You have to know that in fights between Martial Cultivators, many are decided the moment you strike. Which matters more to you, face or life?"

Chen Yueying thought for a moment and admitted Ye Liuyun was not wrong: "Fine, you're right. I'll focus on refining my physical body."

But in her later battles, she still couldn't help avoiding injury herself. "No way, I'm afraid I'll ruin my clothes!"

"Don't you have any armor or protective garment?" Ye Liuyun asked her. wap.

"I'm not a soldier, so armor feels odd. I don't often use protective garments; I rely on Defense Array Plate or Defense Artifact, so I haven't prepared any. Do you have any armor that fits me? I'll buy a set from you."

Chen Yueying thought that returning to the city to buy would waste time; if Ye Liuyun had something suitable, she might just buy a set from him.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and simply handed her a set of golden‑plated armor.

He thought a set of golden‑plated armor was still not as valuable as a Primordial Power of the Taixu World. He had obtained three Primordial Powers of the Taixu World from Chen Yueying, and they were his own earnings.

But when Chen Yueying saw the golden‑plated armor, her mouth widened.

"Th‑this… is this armor made of gold plating?" Her voice trembled as she spoke.

"Yes, but its defensive ability is rather weak, only a Void Rank First Grade, yet it's enough to wear as clothing!" Ye Liuyun, seeing she recognized golden plating, gave no further explanation.

Chen Yueying reached out to touch it, but she still pushed the garment back.

"You should take it back; I can't afford this! Just sell me an ordinary set of armor instead!"

"Hmm? Is this thing valuable here?" Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

Hearing that, Chen Yueying curiously asked Ye Liuyun back: "Is golden plating common where you're from?"

"Not really; it's rare. I just happen to have a few pieces that were refined, but even the highest grade only reaches Void Rank First Grade."

"How many?" Chen Yueying's eyes widened even more at his words.

"What? You don't see many here?" Ye Liuyun pressed.

Chen Yueying nodded: "Golden plating is scarce; only great figures or a God King's gifts have it. And to turn such a large amount of golden plating into clothing is already extremely luxurious. Usually it's made into weapons or treasures.

Your piece of clothing is worth at least hundreds of Primordial Powers of the Taixu World, and it might not even be purchasable! Where could I afford it!"

"You don't need to buy it; it's a gift. That way you won't have to worry about your clothes tearing in future battles!" Ye Liuyun was sincere and had no intention of asking for money.

In his eyes, this set of golden‑plated armor was worth one Primordial Power. Yet he knew that later he would also value it and wouldn't pull it out lightly.

"Th‑this… do you know that this whole set of golden clothing can…"

Chen Yueying wanted to say that such a precious gift could even be a betrothal present, but she felt embarrassed and stopped herself.

Ye Liuyun didn't mind what she intended to say; after understanding her meaning, he said: "Alright, I get it. But this still belongs to you; I won't take it back just because I now know its value.

You shouldn't refuse either; training in battle is urgent now. Put it on quickly!"

Chen Yueying was persuaded, blushed, accepted it, joyfully put it on, and even changed a few styles and colors of the clothing.

"I think you'd better not flaunt it outside, lest people eye you!" Ye Liuyun laughed and reminded her.

Chen Yueying immediately caught on, stopped showing off, and changed the outfit to the same color and style as what she had worn before, layering it on.

But she then laughed: "You go fight first; I need a moment. Now that I'm wearing this, I'll be even more reluctant to break it!"

"Ha ha!" Ye Liuyun also burst into laughter.

He immediately tossed her another Void Rank First Grade armor: "Take this for free; I have plenty. Our refining technique can even forge this Water Grade item."

"Then later I'll find a refiner to upgrade all your golden‑plated armor, as thanks for your generous gift!" Chen Yueying said with a smile.

"Indeed, that's a good idea!" Ye Liuyun agreed, tossed the armor aside, and went back to admiring the clothes while he went to practice his techniques.

Chen Yueying watched Ye Liuyun's back and let her thoughts wander.

"This guy really isn't greedy for wealth! I told him the value of the clothing,

and he still gave it to me… He can't be interested in me romantically, sending it as a token of affection… It must be that kind of intention, otherwise why give me such a precious thing…

Pfft, why am I having a spring dream? He never showed that side… What should I do? I have nothing to give him back…"

Chen Yueying was left dumbfounded, her face turning red from time to time, rambling endlessly, her heart pounding. Please download the Ai Yue app for the latest content.

After a long while, she finally regained her composure.

"At least his character is indeed qualified; let's handle the business first, lest someone else snatch it away!"

Blushing, Chen Yueying laughed, took out a Transmission Talisman and sent out several messages.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun was chatting with the Book Demon.

"Are you sure it's a Time Halo?"

The Book Demon replied confidently: "Exactly. Do you think my eyesight could be wrong?"

"Then why does it differ from the Time Halo I obtained earlier?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"Nonsense, is your sword any different from others? Are other swords not swords?" the Book Demon retorted.

"Nonsense, is your sword the same as anyone else's? Are others' swords not swords at all?" the Book Demon retorted sarcastically at Ye Liuyun.

"Looks like the Taixu World does have people with Time Power."

"That's certain! At least this woman isn't simple. Those who obtain such treasures are all destined for great opportunities!" the Book Demon confirmed.

Earlier, when Chen Yueying put on the golden‑plated armor, she unintentionally revealed a circular pendant hanging from her neck. Ye Liuyun also happened to notice, which caught the Book Demon's attention.

"Her Time Halo power, can I break it?" Ye Liuyun asked the Book Demon again.

"With her Divine Soul Power, you can definitely break it. But if someone's Divine Soul Power is stronger, that's uncertain! Keep cultivating your Divine Soul Power without stopping!" the Book Demon reminded.

"Alright!" Ye Liuyun then, after each battle, pulled the opponent's Soul into his Sea of Consciousness, sent it to the Refining Soul Cauldron for refinement, and stored it in a Soul Sealing Pearl.

The Soul Power he had obtained from Song Qingyun, and the soul source collected in the Soul Sealing Pearl, were already being absorbed and refined by his own soul source; he hadn't stopped cultivating. Grabbing souls now was only to stock up more cultivation resources.

He had previously obtained Song Qingyun's Divine Soul Power, and the soul source collected inside the Soul Sealing Pearl, and these were still being continuously absorbed and refined by his soul source; he, however, had not stopped cultivating. At this moment, taking action to capture souls was merely to stockpile a bit more cultivation resources.
