Ye Chen felt a bit uneasy being stared at by Bai Yu, this gaze was like a burly man looking at a virgin girl.

"Lord Bai Yu, don't look at me like that, it makes me feel uncomfortable."

Bai Yu realized her gaze was too intense and burst into laughter.

After chatting for a while, Ye Chen left that place.

Outside, the Profound Maiden immediately came up, "Ye Chen, what did Lord Bai Yu talk to you about?"

"Nothing much, just asked me for some Soul Pearls."

Ye Chen said while walking.

"Soul Pearls! She asked you for Soul Pearls!" the Profound Maiden exclaimed.

"Yeah, what's the matter? Why are you so startled?"

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

Ye Chen pouted and said, "More than a hundred or so."

"More than a hundred! Are you crazy, you can't give her so many, don't you know I need them too! They're mine!" the Profound Maiden said, a bit upset and pouting.

Ye Chen glanced at the Profound Maiden: "She helped me so much, helped the Dark Princess open the Dark Saint Hall, absorb Gold Power, I can't just give her nothing in return."

"You give as you wish, but you can't give so many, giving away my things to others is too much!"

The Profound Maiden was a bit angry, yelling loudly.

Ye Chen stopped, and said in a low angry voice, "Profound Maiden, what do you mean by your things? They are mine to give to whoever I want! If I give them to you, you can have them, if I don't, you can't take them! Why should everything be yours! If you want them, be more sensible, if you don't want them, stop talking! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Your scheming runs too deep!"

After he finished speaking, Ye Chen left without turning back, leaving behind a rather dazed Profound Maiden.

This Profound Maiden has started to change, becoming selfish and unsatisfactory!

Before, when Yu Nian and the others encountered danger, Ye Chen understood her not helping, but she didn't even inform him, and now seeing Bai Yu the strong, she starts to cozy up.

This made Ye Chen very dissatisfied, starting to feel that previously the Profound Maiden's kindness towards him was just for the sake of the Soul Pearls, for her own benefit.

For such a person, Ye Chen certainly wouldn't be indulgent.

The Profound Maiden watched Ye Chen's departing figure and quickly chased after him.

"I'm sorry Ye Chen, I'm sorry, I was being petty, it was my fault, I know I was wrong!"

The Profound Maiden clutched Ye Chen's arm, speaking warmly and softly.

Ye Chen lowered his head to look at the Profound Maiden, who was gazing expectantly at him.

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

He let go of the Profound Maiden's hand and returned to the safe zone.

Just as he reached the doorway, he overheard voices coming from Yu Nian, Tang Qiu, and Lin Nuo's room next door.

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

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

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

The room fell into silence, after a minute, Tang Qiu's voice rang out.

"Why don't the three of us go together, I heard Ye Chen will be going out in the next couple of days, if we go one by one, one of us will surely miss it."

"Hmm, okay, then Sister Yu Nian, you knock on the door first."

...

To Ye Chen, the voices from the room sounded like devil whispers, sending a shiver down his spine.

"Forget it, I better go to Chen Ruxin's place first today!"

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

On the rooftop of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, Chen Ruxin was sitting there checking financial statements, noticing Ye Chen's arrival.

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 face, her eyes filled with love as she said, "Ye Chen, you're back?"

Ye Chen embraced Chen Ruxin's delicate waist, murmuring 'mm' in response.

After sitting down, Chen Ruxin sat on Ye Chen's lap, picked up the financial report, happily saying, "Ye Chen, I've earned quite a few gold coins recently, our Chenxin Trading Company earned over fifty million gold coins last month!"

"That's great! You really are a business genius!" Ye Chen affectionately pinched Chen Ruxin's cheek.

Chen Ruxin opened the Monster Chat Room, opened a group chat, pointing at a message saying, "Look, this is the ranking of various trading companies, the top is the Divine Land Commerce Association, second is the Upper City Commerce Association, our Chenxin Trading Company is already ranked sixth! If we work harder, we could definitely make it into the top three, sigh."

Just as Chen Ruxin was speaking excitedly, she sighed morosely.

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

"All the trading companies in the top ten have LV71 Breakthrough-level figures supporting them, we don't have one, I'm afraid one day someone will target us, suppress us with power, and swallow up our trading company," Chen Ruxin said, pouting worriedly.

Hearing Chen Ruxin's worries, Ye Chen chuckled, "What is there to fear, don't forget about your man, I am now also a LV71 strong Breakthrough-level figure!"

With that, Ye Chen summoned the Dark Princess.

"LV71!" Chen Ruxin's pupils widened in shock.

Seeing the LV71 Dark Princess, Chen Ruxin was stunned.

"You! Weren't you just LV63 when you came back last time? How... how in just half a month's time, you've become a Breakthrough!"

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

Smooch!

Chen Ruxin kissed Ye Chen on the face, suddenly tears welled up in her eyes.

"Thank you Ye Chen, with you supporting me, I can focus on my work. Thank you, thank you for supporting me!"

Chen Ruxin leaned against Ye Chen, sobbing.

Ye Chen felt a pang of heartache, though Chen Ruxin was a dominant business mogul outside, she remained a girl.

Especially in front of her beloved, she was still someone fragile, in need of protection and support.

Ye Chen gently held Chen Ruxin in his arms, saying, "Silly girl, I'll always have your back no matter what!"

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

"I love you too!"

Ye Chen kissed Chen Ruxin on the face.

Ye Chen sat on the chair, with Chen Ruxin in his lap.

They both faced forward as the sun slowly set, the sunset casting its glow upon Chen Ruxin's face.

Making her beautiful cheeks flush a shade of red.

"Ye Chen, the sunset is so beautiful."

"Yes, the hope is beautiful, and you are even more beautiful."

"Hehe, you really are a sweet talker, let me taste it!"

With that, Chen Ruxin's soft lips pressed against his.

A minute later, Chen Ruxin's face flushed like an apple, she whispered, "Don't go back tonight, okay? Last time you came back you didn't stay with me, stay with me today, I, I miss you so much."

"Mm, alright, I'll lull you to sleep tonight."

"Mm!"

Chen Ruxin shyly nestled in Ye Chen's arms, both quietly watching the sunset.
