567: Chapter 567 Should I Lend You Money?

Kalsis suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head, his gaze crossing over Fiya and landing on Zhao Zhao.

The action was impulsive; even he didn't understand why he had turned back.

Perhaps it was out of unwillingness to let go, perhaps it was because Zhao Zhao hadn't glanced at him once from start to finish, or perhaps he just wanted to disgust her one last time!

He walked back, stood in front of Zhao Zhao, and wore a gentle smile on his face, his tone as friendly as if he were catching up with an old friend.

"Oh? Zhao Zhao? Are you actually here too?"

"Back then, I had thought that perhaps we could be together in the future. I never expected that after several thousand years, things have changed so much!"

"Coming to the Bank now, could it be that you've purchased some Cultivate resources?"

His tone was calm and his expression sincere; it sounded just like an old friend meeting by chance after years apart, exchanging a few pleasantries!

There was no mockery, no blame, and it even carried a faint trace of regret.

But to those who knew the inside story, this was practically a slap in the face in public—you're purchasing Cultivate resources at the Bank?

Just the two of you?

Just buying that junk worth a few dozen dark night crystal?

Hearing this, Zhao Zhao's brows furrowed.

Had this Kalsis really stooped to this level?

Complex emotions surged in her heart: anger, disgust, and a deep sense of disappointment.

Honestly, back then, she hadn't actually felt there was anything wrong with Kalsis.

When he pursued her, he had indeed seemed sincere, showing concern for her well-being, sending messages every day, and saying he would marry her once she completed her Breakthrough to Ancient God!

She was two thousand years old at that time and didn't know what true sincerity or hypocrisy meant; she just felt that being liked by someone was a nice feeling!

It wasn't until she heard Emilia describe Chen Yi's attitude toward his women that her face turned green!

No, is pursuing someone just about verbal declarations?

After pursuing for so long, had he ever given her anything decent?

He didn't even provide the most basic Cultivate tools!

heaven soul spirit flower?

Don't even think about it!

He only knew how to say, "I will protect you for the rest of my life," and, "I will marry you when you complete your Breakthrough to Ancient God!"

What's the use of empty words?

Anyone can move their lips, right?

Look at Chen Yi, on the other hand; although the money was inherited, he spent it for real!

heaven soul spirit flower, six thousand energy purple crystal, and he didn't even blink!

Buying her Cultivate resources, over ten thousand, and he didn't even blink!

He didn't say anything like "I will protect you for the rest of my life," but every action he took was helping her become stronger!

This was true sincerity, this was a man!

One only knew how to talk, the other actually did it!

The difference was clear at a glance!

And now, you still want to come over and disgust people?

Zhao Zhao couldn't even be bothered to reply.

She simply gripped Chen Yi's sleeve, staring at Kalsis expressionlessly as if looking at a piece of dog shit blocking the way.

Chen Yi had naturally seen through Kalsis's twisted intentions long ago.

From the moment this guy walked back, he knew what he was trying to do.

He smiled and spoke in a leisurely manner: "Your Excellency must be Kalsis, right? Since you've come to the Bank, you must be here to purchase supplies! After all, the Moonlight Festival is about to begin soon, so purchasing some Cultivate resources to improve oneself is quite normal!"

When Kalsis heard this, he almost laughed out loud.

Purchasing some Cultivate resources to improve oneself?

Purchasing this trash?

Purchasing junk for Thirteenth Rank trash to use?

It was enough to make the world malice laugh itself to death!

He quickly suppressed his amusement; he couldn't let his expression break.

It was probably hard to win Zhao Zhao back now.

But it didn't matter!

Since he couldn't have her, he would make the best use of her!

In front of Fiya, he would thoroughly humiliate Zhao Zhao and this human she considered a big spender, vent his anger, and incidentally boost his favorability with Fiya!

This would prepare the way for marrying Fiya and taking complete control of the Starlight Pavilion!

After all, although Fiya was only a Heavenly God, the Starlight Pavilion behind her was what he truly needed!

He put away that hypocritical mask of friendliness, and a look of undisguised mockery curled the corners of his mouth.

"I remember you must be that Chen Yi, right? The one who inherited Chen Yu's legacy, the one who's been making such a scene lately!"

"But from what I can see, the supplies you've selected are all low-grade goods for False Gods?"

"Could it be that a dignified super-rich man who inherited Chen Yu's legacy can only use such scraps to Cultivate? No way, right? No way, right?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough for everyone present to hear perfectly.

The customers handling business in the Bank lobby, the staff behind the counters, and even the guards standing at the door all shot their gazes over.

Strange expressions appeared on everyone's faces.

What was going on here?

Chen Yi was also taken aback upon hearing this.

He knew Kalsis was coming to mock him and was prepared to handle it.

But he really hadn't expected this guy to mock him on this point?

Bro, if you're going to mock someone, why mock me for not having money?

He almost laughed out loud!

Had this Kalsis really lived for tens of thousands of years?

How could he be so childish!

He still smiled calmly, his tone light and breezy: "Ah, these Cultivate resources were just picked at random; no need to pay them any mind!"

Kalsis almost pissed himself laughing.

Pretend, keep pretending, let's see if I don't beat your face until it's swollen!

If such Cultivate materials were bought at a regular Cultivate shop, they would not only have a wider variety but would also be cheaper!

Because of service fees and large transactions, the Bank not only had fewer varieties, but the prices were also higher, and one had to offer extra favors!

Looking at how you were picking and choosing and comparing prices just now, was that the behavior of a normal rich person?

Who are you trying to fool?

Sure enough, a poor loser is a poor loser; even if he inherits a huge legacy, he still can't change his poor loser personality!

He took half a step forward, his smile becoming even more brazen.

"Your Excellency Chen Yi, actually, to tell you the truth, your girlfriend Zhao Zhao and I were once lovers!"

Zhao Zhao turned her head sharply and glared fiercely at him.

Pursuing her was one thing, and she hadn't even agreed yet, but to call her a lover in public—his intentions were malicious!

Kalsis felt even better after that glare—the more you care, the more I want to say it!

Ignoring Zhao Zhao's gaze, he continued: "I see that you seem a bit tight on cash lately! I can't bear to see my ex-girlfriend suffer! How about this, do you want me to lend you a few hundred energy purple crystal so you can buy some supplies suitable for your current Rank?"

Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire hall turned deathly silent.

Several customers put down their business and turned their heads, their gazes shifting back and forth between Chen Yi and Kalsis.

The staff lowered their heads and pretended to be busy, but their ears were pricked up high.

The two guards at the door exchanged a look, and neither said a word.

Everyone understood the meaning behind Kalsis's words!

You have no money, you're poor, you can't even afford to buy your girlfriend something decent, and you have to rely on me, her ex-boyfriend, for relief!

And this was in the Bank lobby, in front of everyone!
