Immortality Starts With Investment

Ye Chen looked at the completely unresponsive Seven-colored Nirvana Jade and could not help frowning. It really shouldn’t be like this. There should be no problem with Lotus Emperor’s side.

Could it be that holy spirits were naturally cold and cunning by nature? Did it plan to wait until he left the inner world before committing evil deeds?

Ye Chen was also considering whether he should just give up on the holy spirit. He could throw Lotus Emperor’s origin into the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar for conversion and give it to his fiancée together with Celestial Prince’s origin.

As for the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart, the little demoness might need it someday. He could have Senior An deliver it to her.

In short, the holy spirit was not irreplaceable.

Meanwhile, the holy spirit was already trembling in fear. The man before her could even slay a perfectly emerged holy spirit. She would definitely be slapped to death with one palm.

What should she do? What should she do?

The holy spirit recalled what Ye Chen had said earlier and felt a moment of hesitation. After all, she had regained her sense of shame after awakening for so long. But soon, she made up her mind.

…

Just as Luo Bingling was still urging Ye Chen to melt the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade, the jade began to tremble gently.

The graceful figure inside also made slight movements. She seemed to be gazing out from within the haze, her faint actions expressing confusion and bewilderment toward this world.

Both Ye Chen and Luo Bingling raised their eyebrows and immediately focused their attention.

Soon, a childish, baby-like voice came from within the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade. ”Daddy, are you my daddy?”

The intimacy in her tone was unmistakable. The Seven-colored Nirvana Jade even actively leaned toward Ye Chen, rubbing against him like a little puppy.

Ye Chen’s mouth twitched at once. She actually called him that?

Luo Bingling was also a bit stunned. She had at least heard about holy spirits emerging, but she had never seen one awakened ahead of time and did not know what was happening before her eyes.

Still, she twisted her waist lightly and revealed a mischievous smile. ”That’s right. He is your daddy, and I am your mommy!”

Ye Chen: ”…”

Was it really appropriate to bully a holy spirit baby who had just awakened her will like this?

Inside the jade, the holy spirit grew even angrier. If not for this wicked woman, why would she have to call him daddy? And now she even wanted to humiliate her?

Thus, under the gaze of Ye Chen and Luo Bingling, the childish baby voice rang out again, this time filled with disdain. ”I don’t have a useless mother like you.”

Ye Chen’s mouth twitched, his expression strange.

Luo Bingling’s fists immediately hardened. She had never been humiliated like this before.

She raised her hand, ready to smash the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade, and several attacks shot out. However, divine light flowed across the surface of the Nirvana Jade, rendering them completely ineffective.

Luo Bingling’s face darkened even more. The other party had not even emerged yet, and she already could not beat her.

Ye Chen, seeing that the holy spirit had truly developed intelligence and that it was time to bestow the gifts, felt a surge of anticipation. He stopped Luo Bingling, whose vertical pupils had lit up as she prepared to unleash a big move.

After comforting her for a few moments, Ye Chen stepped in front of the holy spirit. ”Do you have a name?”

The baby voice sounded again. ”No! Daddy, are you going to give me one?”

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and said, ”Then let’s call you Caiyu!”

Inside, the holy spirit gave ten thousand silent complaints, wondering how Ye Chen had come up with such a tacky name.

But for the sake of her life, she endured the awkwardness and replied with feigned joy, ”Thank you, Daddy. I have a name now…”

This act of pretending was extremely humiliating.

But Caiyu had already made up her mind. Once she perfectly emerged, she would escape at the first opportunity.

From then on, the mountains would be high and the seas wide—she would never see them again.

As for revenge? Washing away the humiliation?

She no longer had any such thoughts.

Escaping would be enough.

Revenge? That did not exist.

…

Even though the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade was cooperating so well, Ye Chen did not trust it completely. After all, an existence like a holy spirit was far too intelligent. Who knew what schemes it might be hiding?

But it did not matter. Ye Chen had his own way of testing it. He immediately took out the origin left behind by the Lotus Emperor.

Lotus Emperor had comprehended the Dao with the body of an immortal root, then transformed into a holy spirit and nurtured himself for a million years. How vast must his origin be?

Moreover, it belonged to the same holy spirit race.

The moment Ye Chen took it out, the outer shell of the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade began to tremble uncontrollably.

Inside, Caiyu’s eyes widened. As a holy spirit, she could sense that this was the origin of a fully matured holy spirit. To her, it was the greatest tonic in the world. It could save her countless years of nurturing and allow her to emerge ahead of time.

Because the nurturing materials of holy spirits differed, she could even gain some of the other party’s characteristics during the process of devouring the origin, thereby raising her own upper limit.

Of course, not just any holy spirit’s origin would do. For a pinnacle existence like Caiyu among holy spirits, only the origin of a top-tier fully matured holy spirit like the Lotus Emperor was valuable.

Caiyu stared fixedly at the mass of origin, her heart filled with intense longing… She wanted to speak, yet felt some fear. But then she remembered Luo Bingling’s earlier words. If she suppressed her instincts, would she not be even more suspicious?

With that thought, Caiyu did not hesitate. In her childish baby voice, she said, ”Daddy, I…”

Hearing her begin to speak, Ye Chen immediately raised his hand to interrupt. ”Stop. Caiyu, I am not your father. You are a holy spirit born from heaven and earth. I only awakened your intelligence… You can just call me Uncle from now on!”

Caiyu had not wanted to call him Daddy anyway, so she naturally did not resist. ”Uncle, I want this mass of origin. It is an instinctive urge. If I obtain it, I will gain enormous benefits.”

Ye Chen smiled slightly and nodded. ”This item was prepared for you in the first place. There is no need to ask… Consider this origin my gift to you for your awakening.”

Caiyu was shocked upon hearing this… This was the origin of a fully matured holy spirit! Its value was obvious.

Yet Ye Chen had prepared it for her in advance as a gift?

This… Why was he treating her so well?

Beside them, Luo Bingling, who was still gnashing her teeth, also widened her eyes in surprise. She could not help asking, ”Husband, why? Don’t tell me you really want to try the taste of a holy spirit?”

Ye Chen’s mouth twitched…

What the hell did she mean by ”the taste of a holy spirit”? Was he that kind of person?

But it was hard to explain. After all, when he gave gifts to female cultivators, it could still be explained away as his womanizing nature. Giving gifts to a holy spirit, however, seemed rather strange.

So Ye Chen said nothing. He simply activated the secret method Lotus Emperor had taught him and began slowly injecting Lotus Emperor’s origin into the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade.

Seeing that Ye Chen remained silent, Luo Bingling assumed he had tacitly admitted it. She looked at the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade, then at Ye Chen, her expression complicated. Her husband’s womanizing habit was getting more and more serious. As long as the silhouette resembled a female cultivator, he would not even let a holy spirit go.

But as his Dao companion, what could she do? She could only choose to tolerate him!
