Chapter 31: Chen Ku's Gratitude, Yaochi Overwhelmed by Favor!

Chen Ku's sudden thanks left Yaochi astonished!

If it were anyone else, gaining more than ten spiritual treasures would have made them overjoyed and forgetful; who would still remember Yaochi's so-called guidance?

Moreover, as Haotian and Yaochi, serving as attendants beside Hongjun, they had never attracted anyone's attention.

Today, Chen Ku was the first to offer her such solemn thanks.

For a moment, Yaochi stood frozen, actually feeling at a loss.

"This... Fellow Daoist, you're too polite!"

"Your gains are also due to your own fate."

Yaochi responded very politely.

As she spoke, unconsciously, a rosy glow flew across her face, adding a touch of shy beauty.

At that moment, Haotian beside her suddenly snorted coldly and gave Chen Ku a hostile glare.

Obviously, he also felt some resentment over Chen Ku's astonishing gains.

Likewise, he was secretly blaming Yaochi.

If you hadn't pointed Chen Ku in that direction, how could he have gained such a harvest?!

Although he didn't turn around, Chen Ku was fully aware of Haotian's reaction.

However, he paid no attention and simply ignored it.

He deliberately stayed behind, naturally not just for a casual verbal thanks.

He flipped his palm, and two divine lights instantly appeared.

"These two spiritual treasures: the first is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Hunyuan Golden Hairpin!"

"Once unleashed, its attack is unmatched, piercing all things, unstoppable."

"The other is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Nine-colored Rosy Robe, with astonishing defensive power, impervious to all laws."

"Please, Junior Sister Yaochi, accept these two spiritual treasures as my thanks."

Chen Ku said as such.

Having taken Jieyin as his master, he naturally also called himself a poor Daoist, just like Jieyin and Zhunti.

Merely, as he spoke, he wore a faint smile, giving Haotian the feeling of a playboy, increasing his dislike.

At the same time, the Hunyuan Golden Hairpin and Nine-colored Rosy Robe revealed their true forms.

The former is peerlessly sharp, its cold light glimmering, seeming to possess the fierce aura of piercing all things.

The Nine-colored Rosy Robe, meanwhile, flows with radiant colors, divine light shimmering, appearing exquisitely beautiful.

Vast sheets of Daoic divine patterns flow and surge, also displaying this treasure's unrivaled defensive power.

And Yaochi.

Seeing Chen Ku directly produce two spiritual treasures, both top-grade innate existences, her heart couldn't help but surge.

As a woman, Yaochi naturally had some love for beauty.

Not to mention the astonishing power of these treasures, if they were to fall into Yaochi's hands, they would undoubtedly make her even more gorgeous and charming, with extraordinary bearing!

Furthermore, with its top-tier offensive and defensive capabilities, its preciousness rises to another level.

One could say that even any other woman would find it hard to resist such temptation.

However, shortly after, Yaochi came to her senses.

"How... how dare I accept this?!"

"Fellow Daoist, these two treasures are too precious; Yaochi feels unworthy to accept them!"

Yaochi waved her hands repeatedly in refusal, looking overwhelmed by the favor.

She had merely pointed Chen Ku in the right direction earlier, acting out of a little kindness from her heart, never expecting such a tremendous reward from him.

Moreover, although she had never wandered the primordial chaos, she also knew that top-grade innate spiritual treasures are extremely precious.

Placed in the world, it would be enough to draw the contention of many mighty powers, even Quasi-Saint experts.

Therefore, although Yaochi was deeply moved, she still maintained her due clarity and reason, immediately speaking to decline.

Chen Ku's such gratitude made her feel deeply unworthy of it!

But regarding Yaochi's refusal, Chen Ku had already made up his mind.

"Haha, Junior Sister Yaochi, you don't need to refuse like this!"

"These two spiritual treasures are naturally suited for women's use; in my hands, they wouldn't be of much use."

"Moreover, repaying kindness is always my principle."

While speaking, Chen Ku deliberately acted rather smug.

Chen Ku was not intentionally trying to be a do-gooder, nor did he dislike having too many spiritual treasures.

He did this merely to form a good karmic bond.

Yaochi often accompanies the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and later, after the Demon Race is destroyed, she will become the Queen Mother of the Heavenly Court.

Forming a good karmic bond with Yaochi will surely not be wrong.

Furthermore, as Chen Ku said, the Hunyuan Golden Hairpin and Nine-colored Rosy Robe are naturally more suited for women to wield.

Chen Ku putting them away and giving them to Yaochi was merely a casual matter.

And looking at Chen Ku's appearance also made Yaochi laugh softly, her branches trembling.

Having come to this point, she naturally could not refuse further, so she had to accept the two spiritual treasures Chen Ku gave her.

"In that case, then thank you, Fellow Daoist!"

At this moment, Yaochi's gaze toward Chen Ku also grew gentler.

The reason she earlier gave Chen Ku directions was to show she harbored some fondness for him.

Receiving the "thanks" of the two spiritual treasures only deepened Yaochi's fondness.

More importantly, when Chen Ku previously gave treasures, Yao Chi still thought he was merely being slightly polite, just putting on a show.

After all, Yao Chi had previously witnessed that Chen Ku, in order to obtain an opportunity, did not hesitate to become hostile with Xiating.

And now, Chen Ku, who regards treasures as his own life, is unexpectedly so generous that he produces two primordial spiritual treasures at once.

Such a startling contrast made Yao Chi's mind race even more, with brilliant light flickering in her beautiful eyes.

This scene also made Haotian's eyes light up.

You should know, he and Yao Chi are both guardians stationed beneath Dividing Treasure Rock.

Now that Chen Ku has given treasures to Yao Chi, I wonder whether I will receive the same treatment.

Upon thinking this, Haotian couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation as he looked at Chen Ku.

Who would have thought, after doing all this, Chen Ku merely smiled at Yao Chi and said:

"All matters are finished; this poor Daoist will now return to the Purple Sky Palace!"

Immediately, without even glancing at Haotian, Chen Ku strode away swiftly and returned to the Purple Sky Palace.

Leaving behind only a disheveled Haotian.

After coming to his senses, he gazed at Chen Ku's back, unable to suppress the jealousy burning within.

"Hmph, Junior Sister Yao Chi really has good luck."

Haotian said this with a tone of sarcasm.

Upon hearing this, Yao Chi was startled, then immediately responded:

"Earlier, Elder Brother Haotian, weren't you blaming me for helping fellow Daoist Chen Ku?!"

"Hehe, good karma will naturally bear good fruit."

This remark instantly left Haotian speechless.

Heart‑piercing!

Nakedly murderous heart‑piercing!

Earlier, Haotian's 'lesson' to Yao Chi was like a slap that fiercely struck his own face.

In fact, he well knows that it is precisely because he previously ignored Chen Ku and did not offer help.

This resulted in Chen Ku returning the same indifference.

For a moment, Haotian's heart was filled with regret.

This kid really does play by his own rules.

After all, being in the Primordial Wasteland, Haotian has long seen that all beings put profit first.

So‑called promises, trust, and the like are utterly insignificant in the Primordial Wasteland.

Moreover, Yao Chi merely pointed out a direction earlier; if it were any other mighty being, they would certainly not take it to heart.

Let alone giving two high‑grade primordial spiritual treasures.

Who would have thought Chen Ku would be so devoted to love and righteousness.

One could say that although he is thick‑skinned, he is absolutely not hypocritical.

This damn.... if only I had known earlier that Chen Ku repays kindness and his methods are astonishing.

How could he possibly abide by those so‑called rules?!

Meanwhile!

Chen Ku has already returned to the Purple Sky Palace.

And at this moment, a familiar scene is unfolding.
