Devil Whisper

Ye Chen felt a bit uncomfortable under Bai Yu's gaze; it was like a big man looking at a young, innocent girl.

"Your Excellency Bai Yu, please don't look at me like that. It makes me feel quite uncomfortable."

Bai Yu realized her gaze was too intense and chuckled.

After chatting for a while longer, Ye Chen left.

When he arrived outside, Xuan Nu immediately approached him. "Ye Chen, what did Master Bai Yu talk to you about?"

"Nothing much, she just asked me for some soul orbs," Ye Chen said as he walked.

"soul orbs! She asked you for soul orbs!" Xuan Nu exclaimed.

"Yeah, what's wrong? Why are you so jumpy?"

"How many? How many did you give her?"

Ye Chen curled his lip and said, "About a hundred or so."

"A hundred or so! Are you crazy? Couldn't you have just given her a few? You know I still need them! Those were mine!" Xuan Nu said, getting a bit angry.

Ye Chen looked at Xuan Nu: "She helped me so much, helping Dark Ji open the Dark Sacred Hall and absorb the gold power; I couldn't just not give her any reward."

"You give them away as you please, but you can't give that many! Giving my things to others, you've gone too far!"

Xuan Nu was a bit angry and shouted loudly.

Ye Chen stopped and said in a low, slightly angry voice, "Xuan Nu, what do you mean 'your things'? I obtained them, and I can give them to whoever I want! You can only have them if I give them to you; you can't just snatch them! Why should they all be yours? If you want them, be sensible. If you don't want them, then stop talking! Look at what you've become. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking; you're too calculating!"

After saying this, Ye Chen left without looking back, leaving a stunned Xuan Nu behind.

This Xuan Nu had begun to change, becoming selfish and disappointing.

Ye Chen understood why she didn't help when Yu Nian and the others were in danger before, but she hadn't even told him. Now, seeing a powerhouse like Bai Yu, she was starting to cozy up to her.

This made Ye Chen very dissatisfied. He began to feel that Xuan Nu's previous displays of affection were just for the sake of soul orbs, for her own benefit.

Ye Chen would naturally not indulge such a person.

Xuan Nu looked at Ye Chen's retreating back and hurriedly chased after him.

"I'm sorry, Ye Chen, I'm sorry. I was too petty. It's my fault. I know I was wrong!"

Xuan Nu grabbed Ye Chen's arm and said in a soft, gentle voice.

Ye Chen looked down at Xuan Nu, who was looking at him with pleading eyes.

Ye Chen sighed slightly and said, "Alright, you go first. I have other things to deal with."

Pulling Xuan Nu's hand away, Ye Chen returned to the Safe Zone.

Just as he reached the door, he heard voices coming from the room next door where Yu Nian and Tang Qiu were.

"I'll go tonight!" Tang Qiu said excitedly.

"I want to go too," Lin Nuoyi said delicately.

"Actually, I want to go too," Yu Nian said softly.

The room fell silent. After a minute, Tang Qiu's voice sounded again.

"How about we all go together? I heard Ye Chen is going out again in the next two days. If we go one by one, someone will definitely miss out."

"Yeah, that works. Then Sister Yu Nian, you go knock on the door first."

...

To Ye Chen, the voices in the room sounded like the whispers of a demon, and he couldn't help but shiver.

"Forget it, I'd better go to Chen Ruxin's place to hide for now!"

Thinking of this, Ye Chen walked towards Chen Ruxin's place.

On the rooftop of the Tiandao Alliance, Chen Ruxin was sitting there looking at financial reports. Seeing Ye Chen approach, Chen Ruxin excitedly put down what she was holding and threw herself into Ye Chen's arms.

*Smooch*, Chen Ruxin kissed Ye Chen on the cheek and said with love in her eyes, "Ye Chen, you're back?"

Ye Chen hugged Chen Ruxin's soft, boneless waist and hummed in acknowledgment.

After sitting down, Chen Ruxin sat on Ye Chen's lap, picked up the financial report, and said happily, "Ye Chen, I've earned a lot of gold coins recently. Our Chen Xin Trading Company earned over 50 million gold coins last month!"

"Amazing! You really are a Genius at business!" Ye Chen dotingly pinched Chen Ruxin's little cheek.

Chen Ruxin opened the monster chat room, opened a group chat, and pointed to a message: "Look, this is the ranking of the major trading companies. The first is the Shenzhou Chamber of Commerce, the second is the Shangcheng Chamber of Commerce, and our Chen Xin Trading Company is already ranked sixth! If we work a little harder, we might be able to reach the top three. Sigh."

Chen Ruxin was talking excitedly, but then she sighed disappointedly.

Hearing Chen Ruxin's sigh, Ye Chen asked with concern, "What's wrong? Why are you sighing?"

"The top ten trading companies all have Breakthrough experts above LV71, but we don't. I'm afraid that one day someone will target us and use their strength to suppress us and annex our trading company."

Chen Ruxin pouted and said worriedly.

Hearing Chen Ruxin's worry, Ye Chen smiled, "What are you afraid of? Don't forget your man. I'm also a LV71 powerhouse now! A Breakthrough expert too!"

After saying this, Ye Chen summoned Dark Ji.

"LV71!" Chen Ruxin's pupils dilated, and she said in shock.

Seeing the LV71 Dark Ji, Chen Ruxin was stunned.

"You! You were only LV63 when you came back last time. How... how did you become a Breakthrough expert in just half a month?"

Ye Chen patted Chen Ruxin's head and smiled, "Don't forget, your man is a Genius!"

*Smooch!*

Chen Ruxin kissed Ye Chen on the cheek. Suddenly, tears appeared in her eyes.

"Thank you, Ye Chen. With you supporting me from behind, I... I can do it with peace of mind. Thank you, thank you for supporting me!"

Chen Ruxin sobbed in Ye Chen's arms.

Ye Chen felt a pang of heartache. Chen Ruxin was a business mogul who dominated the outside world, but she was still just a girl.

Especially in front of her loved one, she was even more of a weak girl who needed protection and support.

Ye Chen gently held Chen Ruxin in his arms and said, "Silly girl, no matter what happens, I will always support you from behind!"

"Mm, thank you, Ye Chen. I love you!"

"I love you too!"

Ye Chen kissed Chen Ruxin on the cheek.

Ye Chen sat on the chair, and Chen Ruxin sat in Ye Chen's arms.

The two faced downwards as the sun slowly set, the sunset's glow scattering across Chen Ruxin's face.

It brought a flush of red to Chen Ruxin's beautiful cheeks.

"Ye Chen, the sunset is so beautiful."

"Yeah, it's beautiful, but you're even more beautiful."

"Hehe, you really know how to talk. Your mouth is so sweet, let me have a taste!"

After saying that, Chen Ruxin's delicate lips pressed against his.

A minute later, Chen Ruxin's face was as red as an apple, and she said softly, "Don't go back tonight, okay? You didn't stay with me last time you came back. Stay with me here tonight. I... I miss you very much."

"Mm, okay. I'll coax you to sleep tonight."

"Mm!"

Chen Ruxin shyly buried herself in Ye Chen's arms, and the two quietly watched the sunset.
