"Fellow Daoist Ye, how could you give my things to another woman?"

  Ye Chen had already known that Lin Ke'er was eavesdropping outside.

  He was quite curious about how Lin Ke'er would react.

  But when Lin Ke'er stormed in angrily and blurted out her first words, Ye Chen couldn't help but ugh.

  What do you mean by "your things"?

  Lin Ke'er's demeanor reminded Ye Chen of a story he had heard in his previous life.

  A man gave a beggar ten yuan every day, but after getting married and facing financial constraints, he reduced it to five yuan a day.

  The beggar angrily accused him, saying, "How dare you use my money to support your wife?"

  This story was oddly simir to Lin Ke'er's current behavior.

  Lin Ke'er clearly felt that everything from her "lick spirit" belonged to her.

  That's why she couldn't accept him giving things to someone else.

  A lick spirit truly has no rights.

  Unfortunately...

  He was no lick spirit!

  Lu Jing was far more dedicated than her.

  Giving gifts and even showing off to his brothers?

  And you?

  What, do you think you're as pure as a lotus?

  Ye Chen asked without any courtesy, "Fellow Daoist Lin, what do you mean by 'your things'?"

  Lin Ke'er was taken aback by his words.

  Then she became even angrier.

  You used to give me gifts.

  Now the things you give to Lu Jing, if they're not mine, whose are they?

  Most importantly, you used to call me Fairy Lin when you saw me.

  Now you've repced the old with the new, and Fairy Lin has become Fellow Daoist Lin, right?

  Men are truly no good.

  Lin Ke'er gred hatefully at Ye Chen and Lu Jing.

  Without saying a word, she returned to her room and smmed the door shut.

  ...

  Lin Ke'er's behavior made Lu Jing secretly delighted.

  She was a bit worried that Lin Ke'er would come back and compete with her for Ye Chen.

  After all, Ye Chen was initially infatuated with Lin Ke'er.

  It's said that the hardest thing for a man to resist is his "white moonlight."

  Who knew if Lin Ke'er was Ye Chen's "white moonlight"?

  But Lin Ke'er's first reaction was to throw a tantrum.

  Isn't this just pushing Ye Chen further away?

  So Lu Jing smiled confidently.

  Lin Ke'er was no match for her at all.

  But Lu Jing still felt a bit guilty and comforted, "Fellow Daoist Ye, is Ke'er angry?"

  "This is all my fault. If I had known that accepting your gift would make Ke'er so upset, I wouldn't have let you be in such a difficult position."

  "Fellow Daoist Ye, don't be mad at Ke'er. There must be some misunderstanding."

  "But I do feel sorry for you. You clearly gave so much, yet Ke'er only knows how to get angry."

  "If it were me, I wouldn't be angry. I would only feel sorry for you..."

  Seeing Lu Jing seizing the opportunity to sow discord, Ye Chen's smile grew wider.

  Ye Chen put on a very touched expression and directly embraced Lu Jing.

  It was summer, and they were dressed lightly.

  Ye Chen fully felt the impact of the embrace.

  Lu Jing was initially flustered, her first reaction was to reject and push Ye Chen away.

  But she thought of something and endured it.

  Ye Chen whispered in Lu Jing's ear, "Fairy Lu, you truly understand me..."

  Lu Jing had never been this close to a man before.

  Let alone having someone whisper in her ear.

  So at this moment, her whole body felt hot, as if ants were crawling all over her, making her uncomfortable.

  But now that Lin Ke'er was back.

  She naturally had to satisfy Ye Chen a bit.

  Even if it was just for the sake of that Storage Bag, being hugged was worth it.

  Not to mention, this was the key to securing victory.

  She had to seize it.

  Ye Chen held Lu Jing for a long time before letting her go.

  The clothes that had been pressed against her bounced back with an astonishing amplitude.

  Ye Chen savored the moment, then raised his hand to bid farewell to Lu Jing.

  Seeing Ye Chen about to leave, Lu Jing was secretly pleased and quickly advised, "Ke'er is just momentarily angry. If you go and apologize, the misunderstanding should be resolved."

  However, Ye Chen shook his head straightforwardly.

  He turned and left through the courtyard gate.

  This left Lu Jing with a smile on her face.

  Her biggest competitor was dealt with just like that.

  Perfect!

  But looking down at her clothes, Lu Jing felt a slight discomfort.

  Ye Chen had hugged her too tightly, pressing her so ft that it was slightly painful now.

  ...

  In the room.

  Lin Ke'er was fuming.

  But she kept gncing at the door.

  In her view, Ye Chen must like her the most.

  Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so infatuated with her before.

  He even gave her the valuable "Longxiang Hands" that his father had prepared.

  So Ye Chen must like her the most.

  Seeing her angry, he would definitely come to comfort her immediately.

  But Lin Ke'er didn't pn to forgive Ye Chen so easily.

  Ye Chen must retrieve the Storage Bag and Magic and give them to her.

  If the Magic had already been used by Lu Jing, then Ye Chen must buy new ones for her, and two of them at that.

  This was the price of betraying her.

  Otherwise, she would definitely not forgive Ye Chen.

  Lin Ke'er thought angrily in the room.

  But as she kept gncing at the door, waiting and waiting, Ye Chen never came to knock.

  Lin Ke'er couldn't sit still.

  She went to the window and saw Ye Chen and Lu Jing tightly embracing.

  Ye Chen hugged so tightly that Lu Jing was squashed ft.

  And after hugging, Ye Chen turned and left.

  He didn't even gnce in her direction.

  This made Lin Ke'er grit her teeth even more.

  Ye Chen, I will never forgive you...

  ...

  Ye Chen, of course, wouldn't bother with Lin Ke'er.

  Ye Chen was no lick spirit; he was a standard profit-seeker.

  With ten times the return, it was easier to just give gifts to Lu Jing.

  Why bother with Lin Ke'er?

  She kept stringing him along without giving any sweetness, not even a meal without a verbal promise.

  And she still had the nerve to be angry?

  Does a lick spirit have no dignity?

  Anyway, Ye Chen was too zy to serve her, so he gave gifts to Lu Jing.

  Watching Lu Jing receive valuable gifts every few days.

  Ye Chen wanted to see how long Lin Ke'er could endure.

  Lin Ke'er's matter was just a fleeting thought in Ye Chen's mind.

  What Ye Chen cared about more was the reward he received after giving the Storage Bag.

  The system prompt had already sounded in his mind.

  But he was busy hugging Lu Jing just now and didn't have time to check.

  Now that he saw it, Ye Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise.

  "Gift successfully given!"

  "The gift was a one-cubic-meter Storage Bag..."

  "Processing feedback..."

  "Detected that the gift given by the host was extremely important to the recipient and exceeded their expectations, causing a significant emotional fluctuation, triggering a critical reward!"

  "Reward: a one-thousand-cubic-meter Storage Bracelet..."

  "Detected that the host does not own any storage equipment, the physical reward will be temporarily stored in the System Space and can be retrieved at any time..."

  Wow...

  It really triggered a critical hit.

  It turned a tenfold reward into a thousandfold one.

  One cubic meter became a thousand cubic meters.

  Most importantly, it upgraded from a Storage Bag to a Storage Bracelet.

  This time, he really hit the jackpot.

  Previously, from the reception at Qingyun Workshop.

  Ye Chen had already understood the difference between a Storage Bag and a Storage Ring.

  A Storage Bag is simuted through formations.

  While a Storage Ring is made from a special Spatial Stone.

  So it doesn't age and is hard to damage.

  There's no worry about not being able to retrieve items stored inside.

  And the retrieval speed is faster.

  It's much higher in grade and safety than a Storage Bag.

  And because Spatial Stones are monopolized, the price is extremely high.

  Usually, only Golden Elixir Stage experts can afford them.

  But even then, it's just a hundred cubic meters.

  And for him?

  One critical hit, and he got a Storage Bracelet with a thousand cubic meters that even Golden Elixir experts might not be able to afford.

  This time, he definitely hit the jackpot!
