Returning to his room, Ye Chen immediately retrieved the storage bracelet from the System Space. The bracelet was silver with bck patterns, looking understated yet luxurious. When he tried it on, it automatically resized to fit snugly on his arm, eliminating any worry of losing it by accident.

  Ye Chen immersed his mind into it, attempting to use it, only to discover that it required a drop of blood for the first-time activation. This feature pleased Ye Chen even more, as it added an encryption function, making it far superior to a storage bag.

  He bit his finger and let a drop of blood fall, completing the recognition process. Instantly, Ye Chen felt a special connection with the storage bracelet. Its usage was simple: just touch the item you want to store with your palm, and it would be transferred into the bracelet.

  Quickly, Ye Chen stored his refined pills, herbs, and various miscelneous books into the storage bracelet, feeling relieved. Perhaps because cultivators have excellent memories and there’s no regution in this world, the books Ye Chen bought were quite explicit, covering all sorts of genres. If anyone saw them, it would be utterly embarrassing. He had even disguised himself when purchasing them. Now that they were hidden in the storage bracelet, he no longer feared being discovered, allowing him to finally rex.

  Retrieving items was also convenient, requiring only a thought. Ye Chen pyed with the storage bracelet for a long time, even pcing his alchemy furnace in and out several times. It seemed to have no drawbacks, as long as there was space, anything could be stored, though it did consume some mental energy.

  Ye Chen was thoroughly entertained for a while until his expression suddenly changed. He remembered something—he had crossed over after falling asleep. He hadn’t had the chance to delete his browsing history and chat records. If the police or his family saw them... it would be disastrous!

  Ye Chen had once thought that with the Destiny Bonding System, if he ever became a deity, he would return to Earth for a visit. But now, he felt there was nothing worth longing for on Earth. Forget it, he wouldn’t go back... Earth, it’s better not to return!

  In the days that followed, Ye Chen’s life returned to tranquility. He continued his routine of cultivation and alchemy, accumuting spirit stones. He had offensive spells and defensive spells; now he only cked a spell for escape. Ye Chen was very concerned about his safety, determined to become a well-rounded cultivator with no weaknesses.

  As for Lin Ke'er’s return, it didn’t affect Ye Chen’s mood at all. On the contrary, Lu Jing, who received a storage bag, became even more enthusiastic, visiting Ye Chen every day after work to cook for him, which made Ye Chen quite happy.

  Although he had the Lick Spirit System and had to give gifts, being a lick spirit required skill. If you were a devoted lick spirit, the woman wouldn’t feel the crisis of losing you and wouldn’t take you seriously. But if you were a fickle lick spirit, it was different. As long as the gifts were valuable enough, the woman would compete for ownership, valuing the lick spirit more and even starting to give back.

  Clearly, Lu Jing was like this. She had snatched Ye Chen from Lin Ke'er and knew she could be taken away by someone else, so she was especially enthusiastic, occasionally offering benefits.

  As for Lin Ke'er? Ye Chen was curious to see if she could really hold back.

  In Lin Ke'er’s room, she looked somewhat dispirited. She had pnned to rest after returning from the mountains, but she hadn’t slept for three days. After all, just thinking about missing out on a spell and a storage bag during her trip to the mountains would keep any cultivator awake. Not to mention, Ye Chen’s value far exceeded her expectations at the time.

  But now, it seemed Ye Chen, the lick spirit, had truly been taken by Lu Jing. Lin Ke'er felt even worse, wanting to cry, regretting not spending a little more money to avoid rooming with that wretched woman, Lu Jing.

  Lin Ke'er had been waiting for Ye Chen to come and apologize, as he had been quite nice to her. She was willing to give him another chance. But no matter how long she waited, Ye Chen didn’t come, making her a bit anxious. Could it be that Ye Chen really didn’t like her anymore, completely enamored with Lu Jing?

  If Ye Chen had no value, Lin Ke'er wouldn’t care. But his value was unimaginable. In such a situation, how could Lin Ke'er willingly accept losing Ye Chen as a lick spirit?

  Today, Lin Ke'er tidied up and prepared to go out. It was the day to collect her share from gathering herbs. When she first returned, she had been looking forward to it, as it was about twenty low-grade spirit stones. But now, she felt indifferent.

  Lu Jing hadn’t done anything, just funted a bit, and received a gift of two medium-grade spirit stones. And herself? After a month of hard work, she only earned twenty low-grade spirit stones. The difference was tenfold, why?

  With these complicated feelings, Lin Ke'er soon arrived at the captain’s courtyard. Her teammates were also there, some already leaving with spirit stones, smiling brightly. Jin Wuqing, the captain’s brother, was greeting everyone. Seeing Lin Ke'er, his handsome face broke into a smile, “Ke'er, you’re here. Why so te?”

  Lin Ke'er’s expression was indifferent as she looked at Jin Wuqing. Initially, she wanted to build a good retionship with him, as he was already at the fifth yer of Qi Refining and the captain’s brother. Having a good retionship with him would be beneficial. But now, her thoughts had changed, even losing interest in going back to the mountains for herbs.

  Why? Because compared to Ye Chen’s gifts, her efforts seemed meaningless. Since she didn’t want to go back to the mountains, building a retionship with Jin Wuqing was pointless.

  Jin Wuqing noticed Lin Ke'er’s cold demeanor and frowned slightly, puzzled. After Lin Ke'er collected her spirit stones, Jin Wuqing said as he escorted her out, “My sister is in seclusion. We’ll wait for her to come out before the next trip. We’ll notify you then...”

  Lin Ke'er nodded, but she was already considering giving up.

  “Would you like to have a meal together, Lin?” Jin Wuqing invited, having a good impression of Lin Ke'er. She was cool and beautiful, with a particurly tall figure. Although she was distant, Jin Wuqing didn’t mind. He thought a few more trips to the mountains and some hero-saving-beauty opportunities would win her over.

  However, Lin Ke'er shook her head, “Sorry, I’m not feeling well, maybe next time...” Watching her leave, Jin Wuqing frowned slightly, feeling that Lin Ke'er seemed different since her return.
