Chapter 385: You're a Little Short, So I'll Lend You 10.5 Billion

Chapter 385: You're a Little Short, So I'll Lend You 10.5 Billion

Jiang Ling Su nodded slightly.

Qiong Yun Ting left with a satisfied smile.

In the attic, only Qi Yuan and Jiang Ling Su remained.

Jiang Ling Su blinked her eyes and asked, "Senior Brother, do you know that she's not my sister now?"

Qi Yuan pondered, "She's our creditor."

"What? Are you really short on money?" Jiang Ling Su was taken aback.

"A little," Qi Yuan replied.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Will this be enough?" Jiang Ling Su took out a storage pouch and handed it to Qi Yuan.

She thought for a moment, then reached into her pockets and took out four more storage pouches.

Finally, she even bit her lip and pulled out a pink storage pouch from her chest.

"These six storage pouches contain all my spirit stones. Will it be enough? I'm lending them to you!" Jiang Ling Su said earnestly.

Qi Yuan was slightly touched by her gesture.

His junior sister, a wealthy lady, was still as kind-hearted as ever.

When Qi Yuan was still young and weak, she had an abundance of gold coins, spirit stones, and even powerful cultivation techniques.

"Hmm, it probably won't be enough. You should keep these, Junior Sister," Qi Yuan said, unconsciously placing his hand on Jiang Ling Su's head and ruffling her hair.

"Not enough? What are you buying that requires so much money?" Jiang Ling Su's expression turned slightly disappointed as she thought of something. She took back her personal savings.

She had forgotten that her senior brother was no longer the same as he used to be.

These savings she had accumulated over the years meant nothing to her senior brother.

At this moment, Qi Yuan's hand rested on Jiang Ling Su's slender wrist, stopping her from retracting the pink storage pouch. "Junior Sister, I don't want to owe anyone. The feeling of being in debt is truly unpleasant, making me want to run at the sight of creditors.

How about this, instead of lending me your spirit stones, why not invest in me? In my game, the real estate industry is especially profitable, a rising sun industry.

Why don't you use these spirit stones to invest in me and buy a piece of land? Once I establish the Netherworld, I'll reserve a plot for you to build a house. How does that sound?"

As Qi Yuan spoke these incomprehensible words, Jiang Ling Su seemed to be deep in thought.

At this moment, Jiang Qian, the manager of the Jiang family's businesses, paused in her tracks. She couldn't help but show a trace of helplessness in her eyes.

"Miss, investing in properties in Cloud Heaven City is not a wise decision," Jiang Qian couldn't help but advise.

Her evaluation of Qi Yuan further declined in her heart.

However, he was the Miss's senior brother, and she couldn't say anything about it.

Although she couldn't gauge Qi Yuan's cultivation, his handsome appearance alone was enough to be accepted into the Jiang family.

Jiang Ling Su glanced at Jiang Qian, "I, the Miss, am investing in my senior brother, not in Cloud Heaven City. I trust my senior brother!"

As she spoke, she pushed the pink storage pouch into Qi Yuan's hands.

"Reserve a good spot for me!"

"Don't worry!" Qi Yuan patted his chest in assurance.

Seeing this, Jiang Qian didn't say more on the matter. She spoke softly, "Miss, there's news that the Divine Painter will return tomorrow."

"Okay, good. Tomorrow, I'll go find her with Senior Brother!" Jiang Ling Su was delighted.

She was still able to help her senior brother.

At this moment, Jiang Ling Su thought of something and asked casually, "I heard that the Jiang family's businesses here are facing some difficulties?"

A hint of worry flashed in Jiang Qian's eyes, but she spoke gently, "Miss, I'll handle these matters well. You just focus on your cultivation, and once your strength grows, all problems will cease to be problems."

Jiang Qian envied Jiang Ling Su.

The Miss was from the main lineage of the Jiang family, born with a golden key, enjoying the best cultivation resources.

Moreover, the Miss had exceptional talent, earning the qualification to witness the Jiang family's ultimate treasure and enhance her talent.

As for Jiang Qian, she was from a side lineage. Without exceptional talent or extremely outstanding beauty, it was almost impossible to achieve significant progress on the path of cultivation.

Usually, those like her would manage some of the family's businesses, earning spirit stones and resources for the main lineage's cultivation.

Therefore, Jiang Qian naturally envied the Miss, who possessed both exceptional beauty and talent.

The Miss's appearance, talent, and lineage—any one of these attributes given to Jiang Qian would drastically change her life.

After reporting the matter, Jiang Qian left the attic with a hint of envy in her eyes.

She wished she were from the main lineage, able to choose what she liked, even raising flowers would be a good life.

Soon, she put aside these thoughts and hurried back to manage the Jiang family's businesses here.

Just then, the sound of footsteps approached. "Jiang Manager, what a coincidence to meet you here."

The person who approached was a man with a sly look, dressed in a crimson robe, holding a fan, and exuding an air of arrogance.

Upon seeing the visitor, Jiang Qian's eyebrows furrowed, "Young Master Feng."

The visitor was named Feng Ruo Han.

A good name, but his reputation was not. He was known as a notorious rich young master in Cloud Heaven City.

However, his family's strength far surpassed that of the Jiang family.

Feng Ruo Han's red robe naturally connected him to the legendary Blood Robe Sword Immortal.

The young man closed the folding fan in his hand and spoke, "I've heard that the young lady of the main lineage of the Jiang Clan is as beautiful as a celestial maiden. I wonder if I, Feng, could have the fortune of meeting her?"

"This matter still needs to be discussed with the young lady."

"Jiang, you're just a member of a side lineage in the Jiang Clan, and you probably won't have any chance of promotion in this lifetime." At this moment, Feng Ruo Han sighed.

"What do you mean, Young Master Feng?" Jiang Qian furrowed her brows, feeling apprehensive.

"It's simple. I want to make a deal with you." A smile appeared on Feng Ruo Han's face. "I still admire Miss Jiang, and I wish to form an alliance with the Jiang Clan. But I'm not exactly the most handsome, and Miss Jiang already has a handsome senior brother by her side.

So, I hope for your assistance. I want you to pour this bottle of potion into Miss Jiang's drinking bowl.

Once she drinks it, she'll develop deep feelings for me, and the Jiang Clan won't discover anything.

Feng Ruo Han: "You want to cooperate with our Feng Clan, right? If you help me this time, the Feng Clan will immediately assist you in resolving your crisis.

I'll also support you from behind, helping you with your promotion. In this lifetime, you won't be limited to being a mere steward. You might even have the chance to reach the Divine Infancy Realm."

Feng Ruo Han stared into Jiang Qian's eyes, awaiting her response.

Jiang Qian's face turned pale, and her hand reached for a teletransportation talisman. "I'm sorry, Young Master Feng, but this joke isn't funny."

Feng Ruo Han's expression froze. "You mean... you want to refuse?"

Malice appeared in his eyes.

Before coming here, he had set up an array. Since Jiang Qian had heard his plan and still disagreed, she could only face death.

After Jiang Qian's death, he would meet Jiang Ling Su.

He smirked, revealing a cruel and lewd smile in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll only play with your corpse for a day."

Jiang Qian's face turned deathly pale as the talisman failed at this moment.

Just then, a flash of red light streaked across the sky.

A thin line appeared on Feng Ruo Han's neck, and in an instant, his head separated from his body, leaving a smooth cut.

His body fell to the ground.

A voice filled with malice and indifference echoed.

"It seems staying at home is indeed better, avoiding all these disgusting matters. Alas, the cultivation world's atmosphere, especially in Cloud Heaven City, is too poor."

A handsome man in a blood-red robe appeared, a hint of helplessness in his words.

Seeing the newcomer, Jiang Qian's eyes widened. "Senior Qi!"

She hadn't expected that Qi Yuan would be her savior.

With this strength... was he in the Divine Infancy Realm?

Her heart tightened with nervousness.

Senior Qi had killed Feng Ruo Han, and the situation in Cloud Heaven City was about to change.

"Senior Qi, he's the young master of the Feng Clan, a local boss here. Please take Miss Jiang and leave this place quickly. I'll handle the aftermath!" Jiang Qian, as the steward managing this area, remained calm, always prioritizing the main lineage's interests.

Qi Yuan smiled. "I'll leave after seeing the strange painting."

After speaking, his figure disappeared, leaving Jiang Qian standing there, her expression changing continuously.

"No, we can't let the Feng Clan know that Feng Ruo Han died in our Jiang Clan. Otherwise, none of us will be able to leave. Alas... Senior Qi was too impulsive, he shouldn't have killed him!"

Jiang Qian sighed, but the deed was done, and she had no solution.

...

"Senior Brother, pack up quickly. We're going to the Divine Infancy Feast. Hey, where did you just go?" Jiang Ling Su sat at the dressing table, glancing at Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan found Jiang Ling Su's makeup process quite incomprehensible.

She already had a beautiful appearance and good skin, so there was no need for makeup.

On the other hand, the women on the Arching Star Scroll, like Wu Qi, could indeed improve their looks by one level in the eyes of ordinary people with makeup.

"I went to kill someone and used the Ten Kill Tyrant Fist to annihilate a clan, rectifying the cultivation world's atmosphere. The atmosphere in Cloud Heaven City is indeed too poor." Qi Yuan spoke casually.

The Ten Kill Tyrant Fist was not a Dao technique but a martial skill.

In the 1619 book, the version is correct!

What surprised Qi Yuan was that the martial arts were indeed unique.

According to records, when Yangshen Realm cultivators from the Immortal Dao went to some mystic lands, their cultivation would drop by one level.

And in those mystic lands, when cultivators reached the Yangshen Realm, their cultivation would also drop by one level.

But Qi Yuan, a Ten Thousand Dao master, didn't have this restriction. He retained his Divine Martial energy, the power of the Yangshen Realm.

"Oh, you killed someone." Jiang Ling Su wasn't surprised, "Senior Brother, come and see how my makeup looks?"

"There's no need for makeup." Qi Yuan gave an objective evaluation.

Jiang Ling Su shot Qi Yuan a glance. "I must completely outshine Qiong Yun Ting!"

"Why bother being considerate towards a friend?" Qi Yuan smiled.

"A friend?" Jiang Ling Su understood Qi Yuan's meaning, covering her mouth with a smile. "Senior Brother, you're the one who knows how to talk. At the Divine Infancy Feast later, you'll be the one doing the talking."

Jiang Ling Su suddenly remembered that Senior Brother's words were much more venomous than hers.

"I have social anxiety, so I'll just find a place to hide during the feast."

(End)

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling Su paused for a moment, "I'll accompany you."

...

Yunzhong City, the Divine Infant Feast, was bustling with excitement.

Not only did many young cultivators appear, but the older generation of cultivators also attended.

Yunzhong City, as well as the major powers of the Helan Continent, all sent representatives.

The protagonist of this Divine Infant Feast was none other than the young master of the Wang family, Wang Yun Teng.

Rumor has it that when he was born, he exuded a unique fragrance, and a White Deer came to bestow spiritual essence upon him.

Wang Yun Teng was also considered the Wang family's great hope.

"Ah, Wang Yun Teng is the same age as me, and he's already a Divine Infant. He's on a different level now."

"The Wang family has produced a Qilin Son, they must have the fortune of a thousand years!"

"I heard that the Wang family is hosting this Divine Infant Feast to announce something important!"

"What's this important matter?"

"It's said to be related to the legendary Blood Robe Sword Immortal!"

"Wow, a Yinshen Powerhouse!"

The guests kept praising.

Wang Yun Teng held Qiong Yun Ting, his expression arrogant.

The cultivators present could all understand this arrogance of his.

After all, it's normal for a young man to be a bit proud.

Qiong Yun Ting's eyes scanned the guests, and when she spotted a familiar figure, she immediately approached her.

"Sister, you've finally arrived. You've kept me waiting, dear sister. Everyone, this is Miss Jiang Ling Su from the Jiang Clan, and also my close friend!" Qiong Yun Ting said happily.

"Someone from the Jiang Clan? Wang Yun Teng's face is indeed impressive, and even someone from the Jiang Clan, which is in another continent, has come to attend the Divine Infant Feast!"

"You don't need to mention the Wang family's face. Which family or sect of Helan Continent hasn't come?"

"Speaking of that, it's strange. The Feng family of Yunzhong City, why hasn't anyone come?"

The Feng family is the top power in Yunzhong City, and they are backed by the Feng Palace, ranking among the top three powers of Helan Continent.

Logically, the Feng family's gift should have arrived by now, but there's no one here. It's indeed peculiar.

"The Feng family is always arrogant. They probably want to make a grand entrance, which isn't unusual."

The guests discussed among themselves.

Qiong Yun Ting's attention, however, was entirely on Jiang Ling Su.

After all, this was a rare opportunity for her to outshine Jiang Ling Su.

"My sister's Dao partner is truly a talented individual. I never expected that in a small place like the Hundred Kingdoms Region, there could be a rising dragon!" Qiong Yun Ting spoke casually, as if making small talk.

On the surface, she was praising Qi Yuan's talent, but in reality, she was hinting at his humble origins.

As expected, the guests, upon hearing that Qi Yuan was from the Hundred Kingdoms Region, originally admired Qi Yuan's talent and wanted to befriend him, but now they all had second thoughts.

The Hundred Kingdoms Region seemed to not even have a Purple Mansion level power.

If not for the matter of the Guangming Palace, they wouldn't even know about the Hundred Kingdoms Region.

Hearing Qiong Yun Ting intentionally referring to her senior brother as her Dao partner, Jiang Ling Su blushed, but at this moment, she didn't have time to explain. Instead, she proudly boasted, "My sister is right, my senior brother is a true dragon. He's even on the Dongtu Talents List!"

The Dongtu Talents List is not something anyone can get on. It represents the strongest of the younger generation in Dongtu.

"He's on the Dongtu Talents List?"

"Qi Yuan, I don't recall hearing that name."

"Sounds a bit familiar, but that person, I think, isn't a young talent."

On the Dongtu Talents List, the strongest of the younger generation are mostly at the Divine Infant Realm, or Yuan Dan Realm.

Qiong Yun Ting heard this, and her eyes widened slightly in surprise.

She never expected that Jiang Ling Su had hidden this important information so deeply.

Such crucial information, and she only reveals it now!

It's to steal her thunder.

"Ah, if only Yun Teng wasn't in seclusion a few years ago. If he had participated in the Dongtu Talents List, getting a top three spot would be no issue." Qiong Yun Ting sighed.

Hearing this, Jiang Ling Su rolled her eyes at Qiong Yun Ting in her mind.

Normally, she wouldn't bother competing with Qiong Yun Ting.

But disparaging her senior brother was something she couldn't tolerate!

As she was about to say something, Qi Yuan, standing beside her, spoke up, "Qiong Xianzi, as I said earlier, if I attend the Divine Infant Feast, you and Wang Yun Teng would lend me some Spirit Stones to resolve my urgent need."

"I won't beat around the bush. When are you giving me the Spirit Stones as you promised?" Qi Yuan asked directly, getting straight to the point.

The other cultivators looked at Qi Yuan, their faces filled with astonishment.

Borrowing Spirit Stones?

This guy is probably here to cause trouble!
