786: Kaizi

"Do I really need to tell you how many Senior Sister Huangfus there are at Tianxin Academy?" the burly young woman said coldly.

"But I really don't owe her any immortal spirit crystals!" Zhang Wuhen said with a depressed look on his face.

"Stinky brat, you still dare to quibble."

Upon hearing this, the burly young woman instantly flew into a rage, swinging her fist as she charged toward Zhang Wuhen.

"Bang! Bang! Bang...!"

"I'll show you how to quibble."

"You actually dare to scam Senior Sister Huangfu out of her immortal spirit crystals! You really do have the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard."

"Snap... Snap...!"

"Ahhh...!"

Accompanied by a shrill scream, Zhang Wuhen's legs were snapped by the burly young woman.

...

Core Disciple area.

In a luxurious palace, a young woman wearing a white dress with skin as white as snow was reading the Chronicles of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

This fair-skinned young woman was none other than Huangfu Xinyue, the second-ranked Core Disciple.

"Ziwei, have you retrieved the immortal spirit crystals?" Huangfu Xinyue asked softly.

"Young Miss, that brat is too detestable; he actually refused to pay up," Chen Ziwei said angrily. "But don't worry, Young Miss, I've already broken his legs."

"That brat really has a lot of nerve to dare to toy with This Young Lady."

Huangfu Xinyue frowned slightly and said, "However, since you have already broken his legs, let's just leave it at that."

"Yes, Young Miss."

Chen Ziwei replied respectfully and then added, "Young Miss, Xiao Yun just sent a Sound Transmission saying that a mark wants to treat her to some medicinal cuisine. Would you like to go and have a taste?"

"Does the Medicinal Cuisine Restaurant have any good ingredients recently?" Huangfu Xinyue asked.

"Yes, I heard that the Medicinal Cuisine Restaurant recently received a batch of top-tier beast meat and Spirit Medicine. Quite a few people have already eaten there, and the reputation is quite good," Chen Ziwei said.

"Hmm, let's go!" Huangfu Xinyue nodded.

...

At this moment, Yang Lingchen was drinking tea in his residence when his sound transmission jade suddenly vibrated, and Yun Mengyao's voice came through:

"Yang Lingchen, you big jerk! Do you even have me in your heart?"

"Mengyao, I'm sorry. I've been busy Cultivating recently, so I haven't had a chance to find you. Where are you? I'll come find you right now," Yang Lingchen hurriedly sent a Sound Transmission to Yun Mengyao.

"Medicinal Cuisine Restaurant, second floor, private room number three." Soon, Yun Mengyao's voice rang out from Yang Lingchen's sound transmission jade.

"Alright, I'll be there immediately."

Yang Lingchen tidied himself up carefully in front of the bronze mirror and then headed toward the Medicinal Cuisine Restaurant.

He had indeed neglected Yun Mengyao during this time; after all, they had only recently confirmed their relationship.

Yang Lingchen had originally intended to go apologize to Yun Mengyao in the next couple of days, so he hadn't expected her to contact him first.

Medicinal Cuisine Restaurant, second floor, private room number three.

"Mengyao, I'm sorry. I went out for training during this time, so I didn't have a chance to find you," Yang Lingchen said sincerely.

"I think you were too busy dating Huang Ruoyu!" Yun Mengyao said with a coquettish pout. "It's been over a month, have you ever taken the initiative to send me a Sound Transmission?"

"Mengyao, please don't misunderstand. I really went out for training during this time. Look at my cultivation level." Yang Lingchen hurriedly released his aura.

"How did you Cultivate? You actually had a Breakthrough to the eighth level of the Earth Immortal Realm!" Surprise flashed across Yun Mengyao's beautiful eyes. Although she knew Yang Lingchen had great talent, this speed of Breakthrough was just too fast!

"I went to a rather distant place and had some fortuitous encounters outside, which is why I was able to have a Breakthrough so quickly," Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

"Then why didn't you send me a Sound Transmission for so long?" Yun Mengyao pouted and said.

"This time, while I was out training, I encountered many dangerous things. To keep you from worrying, I didn't have time to send you a Sound Transmission," Yang Lingchen said hurriedly.

"Then you've been back for two days, why didn't you take the initiative to find me?" Yun Mengyao said with a coquettish pout.

"I was just about to send you a Sound Transmission when you sent yours. Don't you think we share a spiritual connection?" Yang Lingchen revealed a sunny smile and gently took hold of Yun Mengyao's snow-white hand.

"Then what exactly is your relationship with Huang Ruoyu?" Yun Mengyao said coquettishly. "In your heart, who is more important, me or her?"

"Currently, she and I are just Senior Sister and Junior Brother. If you're asking who is more important, then of course you are more important!" Yang Lingchen said earnestly.

"You know what's good for you." A seductive smile appeared on Yun Mengyao's face. "I want you to accompany me tonight!"

"Really? Wouldn't that be too fast?" Yang Lingchen chuckled.

"Pervert, I want you to accompany me to watch the stars! Where did your mind wander off to?" Yun Mengyao said crossly.

"Ahem...! I meant watching the stars too! You didn't think of something else, did you?" Yang Lingchen laughed awkwardly and then gently pulled Yun Mengyao into his arms.

"I didn't think of anything else. Do you think I don't know about your little schemes?"

Yun Mengyao glanced at the protrusion below Yang Lingchen's waist, and her pretty face flushed red.

She had originally thought something else had bumped into her, but when she looked down, she realized it was that place.

"Ahem...!" Yang Lingchen laughed awkwardly, then immediately changed the subject, "Mengyao, let's eat first!"

"Hmm!" Yun Mengyao nodded.

The two of them ate and chatted.

Just then, Yang Lingchen's sound transmission jade vibrated, and Huang Ruochen's voice came through: "Brother-in-law, I've encountered a problem and I don't know how to handle it."

"What's the matter?" Yang Lingchen sent a Sound Transmission.

"Didn't you teach me how to pick up girls the other day? I asked that girl out today, preparing to treat her to some medicinal cuisine, but she, on the other hand, was not polite at all. She ordered two million immortal spirit crystals worth of medicinal cuisine directly, and she even wanted to bring two of her girlfriends along," Huang Ruochen said dejectedly.

"Two million immortal spirit crystals?" Yang Lingchen frowned slightly. "Then why didn't you stop her just now?"

"There are so many medicinal cuisines here, I didn't know the prices! After she finished ordering, I looked at the menu and realized it would cost two million immortal spirit crystals!" Huang Ruochen said helplessly. "Brother-in-law, why don't you lend me some immortal spirit crystals?"

"Then do you like her?" Yang Lingchen sent a Sound Transmission.

"I can't say I like her yet; we only just met!" Huang Ruochen sent a Sound Transmission.

"So she ordered all of these?" Yang Lingchen sent a Sound Transmission.

"That's right, I didn't order a single thing; she ordered it all!" Huang Ruochen sent a Sound Transmission.

"Find an excuse to slip out, then tell the manager of the Medicinal Cuisine Restaurant that the woman inside is paying. While you're at it, bring two jars of spirit wine to private room number three on the second floor," Yang Lingchen sent a Sound Transmission.
