Chapter 1115 - Nothing But Trouble
Chi i’s expression didn’t seem the slightest bit faked. She bit her lips as if she’d heard earth-shattering news. Her eye bulged and her breathing grew ragged as she tightly clenched her fists.
Soon, she started pacing back and forth and muttering to herself, “No wonder he was in such a hurry to leave when we finally got out. He even told that Ye Zichen took all the treasures! That sincere expression of his tricked !”
When he heard her murmuring, Ye Zichen couldn’t help but arch his brows and wonder about her relationship with Wu Yi.
They were siblings and descendants of the Five Elents Great Emperor. Was there any need to lie about receiving their ancestor’s inheritance?
However, neither her words nor her expression seed fake.
“It really frickin’ pisses off! To gather enough ingredients for the Sea Condensing Pills I sold everything I could possibly spare. I begged and wheedled and just barely scraped it all together but Wu Yi, he..... Argh! It’s utterly infuriating!”
Chi i continuously vented her fury. A few tis, she was tempted to break things or set them on fire, but perhaps out of consideration for her inability to reimburse Ye Zichen’s losses, she refrained. Instead, she bit her lips and paced back and forth.
She slamd her fists into the table, grabbed Ye Zichen’s immortal brew and took a few swigs before finally calming down.
“Next ti I see him,” she snorted, “I’ll definitely teach him a lesson!”
“Are you sure you don’t want to go looking for him right now?”
When she saw how angry she was, Ye Zichen assud she’d run off and look for Wu Yi right away. To his surprise, she decided to leave it for next ti. In that case what does she plan to do first? Surely she doesn’t intend to stay here?
Chi i was a nace. Ye Zichen couldn’t relax with her around.
She was nothing but trouble; he didn’t want to spend any more ti with her.
“Of course I’m going to go look for him right away, but you haven’t given the pill yet. What happens if you run away while I’m looking for him? Then if he insists he doesn’t have anything either, haven’t I lost big ti?”
Chi i replied with all sorts of excuses. Ye Zichen truly didn’t want to get involved with her, so he simply pulled a Sea Condensing Pill from his spatial ring and placed it on the table.
“Here! A Sea Condensing Pill for you! Now hurry up and settle the score with Wu Yi! You absolutely mustn't delay!” Before Ye Zichen even finished his sentence he saw a breeze sweep by and the pill disappear without a trace. Chi i, anwhile, opened the dicine bottle to examine it. In truth, this wasn’t just her; any immortal king who’d just received a Sea Condensing Pill would react in much the sa way.
She carefully sensed its dicinal effect, then imdiately put the lid back on and tightened it for fear that its dicinal properties would disperse into the air and lower its effectiveness.
“Sweetie, you’re just awful! If you had finished Sea Condensing Pills on hand, why did you demand all that stuff from ? I suffered a lot to gather up all those ingredients. Why didn’t you tell you already had a finished product! I could have repaid you in all sorts of other ways!”
As she spoke, she batted her eyes demurely and coquettishly.
Ye Zichen really didn’t know how to handle this sort of woman. He rolled his eyes at her, speechless, then frowned. “Quit spouting all that nonsense. I already gave you your pill, so hurry up and leave.”
“Do you really hate that much?” said Chi i pitifully, her watery eyes filled with hurt. It really ached to see her exquisite face scrunched up with sadness and a little pout.
But Ye Zichen knew just what kind of person Chi i was, so there was absolutely no way he’d fall for her sches. He nodded noncommittally and smiled coolly, “Yes, that’s exactly how much I dislike you.”
“Is that so?” Won really changed their tone quickly. Chi i was completely different from a mont ago. The instant Ye Zichen spoke, her expression darkened, and she laughed coldly, “If you hadn’t said that, I would’ve felt a little guilty, but since you did... .well, you deserve this.”
Ye Zichen instantly realized that sothing was wrong. He looked right at Chi i and asked,“What are you trying to say?”
“Nothing,” sneered Chi i. “It’s just that before I ca here, I caused a bit of trouble for soone, and it seems like he’s rather influential in the Sky Great District. But I’m just a weak woman. How could I possibly defeat him myself? I had no choice but to say I was your wife and that if he had the guts, he could co looking for in Ice Blue City. Given the ti, he’s most likely arrived by now.”
Chi i’s expression was playful, and her eyes seed to say...... How dare you bully ! I’ll teach you a lesson!
He just knew she was trouble! Before Ye Zichen could even speak, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
It seems he’d fallen for her sche.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
“Co in,” he said softly. The door swung open. Jiao Qi stepped inside, scanned both Ye Zichen and Chi i, and said, “Master, there’s a group outside. They’ve surrounded our general store. Their leader is currently shouting all kinds of nasty things. The others want to go teach them a lesson, but I stopped them so I could report to you first.”
“Chi i, you.... Not bad.” He glared at her. Anyone who dared surround Ye Zichen’s general store in Ice Blue City had to be extraordinary. It didn’t matter whether they knew Ye Zichen’s strength or not; just owning such a building proved that Ye Zichen was extraordinary.
Even so, they still dared surround him. They were obviously high-status figures even within the Sky Great District.
Back when Ye Zichen was living in seclusion in Raging Fla City, Chi i had almost ruined everything by dragging him into the Five Elents Great Emperor’s mausoleum. Now he was happily gathering intelligence in Ice Blue City and she’d co to make trouble for him again.
Ye Zichen understood: so long as Chi i was around, he’d have no peace.
When she heard Ye Zichen helplessly berate her, Chi i shook her head and stuck out her tongue at him.
Ye Zichen couldn’t be bothered with her. Instead, he turned to Jiao Qi and said, “Go out and take a look.”
“Wait, I’ll go with you,” tittered Chi i as she followed after them.
Outside the general store.
A long-haired youth sat before the shop. He was seated atop a “human chair.” Unbelievably, the man acting as his chair was a sky-immortal expert. Rember, although this was the Sky Great District, sky immortals were still elites! Yet now one was acting as another man’s chair. The onlookers couldn’t help but sigh at the youth’s lofty status.
At that mont, a middle-aged man appeared next to the youth. Waves of spiritual energy whirled around him, so strong that he was obviously an immortal king, and a strong one at that.
However, this mighty expert shockingly stooped over and cautiously glanced at the youth.
The youth sensed soone to his side and arched his brows, but ignored the newcor.
Although he was an immortal king, the middle-aged man wasn’t displeased with the youth’s behavior. “Young Master,” he said, “I’ve already investigated the man who owns this store.”
