Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

”By the way, Miss Lio...”

Ling Feng smiled faintly, took out a black card from his sleeve, and handed it to Lio Yunyan, ”This is the Elemental Stones I earned these past few days. I promised to repay a hundredfold, and the three-day period is up. Here are three hundred thousand Upper Grade Elemental Stones!”

Lio Yunyan saw the black card in Ling Feng’s hand, and a hint of shock flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Three thousand Upper Grade Elemental Stones, and in just three days, he actually made a hundredfold profit?

This... how did this guy manage to do it?

Though three hundred thousand Upper Grade Elemental Stones isn’t a vast amount, turning three thousand into three hundred thousand in such a short time—she admitted she couldn’t come close to such an ability.

However, she did not accept the black card. Regardless of how Ling Feng earned those stones, she had never expected any return from the start.

At this moment, the wilful little maid Xiao Cui rushed in from outside, glared at Ling Feng, and then hurriedly said to Lio Yunyan, ”Miss, Master Cheentian is here, waiting for you in the main hall!”

”So Master Cheentian is finally willing to help?”

A glimmer of hope flashed in Lio Yunyan’s eyes. She immediately got up, gracefully bowed towards Ling Feng, and gently said, ”Young Master Ling, I have matters to attend to, please excuse me.”

”If Miss Lio needs any help, feel free to ask. Actually, I am also an Alchemist!”

As Ling Feng watched Lio Yunyan’s departing figure, he shrugged and put the black card back.

Upon hearing Ling Feng’s words, Lio Yunyan paused briefly but eventually left without turning back.

For a while, only Ling Feng remained, sitting alone in the courtyard, muttering to himself: This woman is truly strong-willed!

...

Elsewhere, in the main hall of the Lio family.

A middle-aged, sleazy man, self-identified as Master Cheentian, was sipping tea in the living room.

Upon seeing Lio Yunyan, Master Cheentian immediately swallowed his saliva, his lecherous eyes wandering all around.

”I am Lio Yunyan, greeting the master.”

Lio Yunyan gritted her teeth slightly but gracefully bowed to Master Cheentian.

”Heh heh...”

Master Cheentian bared his big yellow teeth, smiling lewdly, ”Miss Lio, you truly deserve the title of Yeruo City’s most beautiful woman!”

”That’s just baseless rumors spread by others; I dare not accept such praise.”

Lio Yunyan waved her hand, still considering the big picture despite her displeasure at Master Cheentian’s blatant gaze.

”Heh heh, I, the master, dislike beating around the bush, so let’s get to the point.”

Master Cheentian smirked slyly, ”I have no issue with refining pills for you, but Miss Lio, you have to marry me!”

...

...

The meeting naturally ended on a sour note.

”Hmph!”

Master Cheentian flung his sleeve and left in a huff.

In the hall, only Lio Yunyan, Lio Zhong, and the maid, Xiao Cui, remained.

”Miss, how can that man be like that? He’s just a filthy toad!”

Xiao Cui started grumbling again; her feelings towards Master Cheentian were disgust, disgust, disgust to the extreme!

”That Ling Feng is a hundred times better than this guy!” Xiao Cui huffed lightly.

”Young Miss, this person absolutely cannot be used!”

Lio Zhong frowned. If not for Master Cheentian’s somewhat esteemed status in Yeruo City, he would have loved nothing more than to smack him to death.

”I know!”

Lio Yunyan had a headache; even though Master Cheentian was indeed nasty, he was still a powerful Alchemist. With him joining, Yuntian Commerce could temporarily alleviate its current situation.

However, his demands were far too delusional.

No matter which condition, Lio Yunyan could never agree.

Suddenly, Lio Yunyan thought of Ling Feng.

When she left earlier, Ling Feng’s last words were ”Actually, I am an Alchemist,” and although Lio Yunyan didn’t believe it, an inexplicable urge emerged inside her to seek out Ling Feng.

Just as Xiao Cui said, even if it’s Ling Feng, he’s still a hundred times better than Master Cheentian!

And recalling how he turned three thousand Upper Grade Elemental Stones into three hundred thousand in just three days, perhaps he hadn’t been lying!

For the moment, Lio Yunyan had no other ideas, so she got up and headed to the backyard.

She could only pin her hopes on Ling Feng now.

Maybe, as Steward Lio Zhong said, Ling Feng might be a benefactor after all.
