Ye Zhendong’s expression suddenly became very strange.
"What could you possibly have to do? Isn’t eating, drinking, and playing enough for you every day?"
Ye Yu naturally extended his palm.
"Eating, drinking, and playing also require capital. Come on, hand over some divine stones."
Ye Zhendong let out a snort of laughter.
Ye Yu’s strength was low. For better protection, he was basically never allowed to leave.
Within Xuanji Hall, there was also nowhere to spend divine stones.
For no reason at all, what did he need divine stones for?
Ye Zhendong had just been about to refuse when he suddenly thought of something important.
Since his son had grown up and understood how to appreciate the beauty of Divine Maidens, then asking for divine stones now very likely meant he was preparing to launch a monetary offensive.
As the Young Master of Xuanji Hall, he naturally could not be too shabby in his spending.
Perhaps it was time to allocate him some divine stones.
Thinking this, Ye Zhendong immediately raised his right hand and said softly, "No problem. How many divine stones do you want? Father will get them for you."
Ye Yu did not hesitate at all. "Then give me one hundred thousand for now. If it’s not enough, I’ll ask you for more."
The moment Ye Zhendong heard that number, he nearly collapsed.
"How much? One hundred thousand? Did you find yourself a gold devouring beast?"
As the man of the Hall Master of Xuanji Hall, Ye Zhendong’s net worth was considerable.
But divine stones were an extremely precious currency in the God Realm, with very high value.
One hundred thousand was absolutely not a small amount for him.
Even setting aside heavenly materials and divine artifacts, purely counting divine stones, he could not even scrape together one hundred thousand in his storage ring.
That was why Ye Zhendong reacted so dramatically.
A gold devouring beast?
Hm.
A very apt description.
Although the system currently charged several thousand divine stones at a time.
There was one thing that had to be noted.
Qi Yuan was still in the Mortal Realm, her realm low.
If each recharge was already in the thousands now, then once she reached the God Realm in the future, it would surely be tens of thousands at a time.
One hundred thousand divine stones sounded like a lot, but in reality, it would not last many recharges.
So Ye Yu believed this request was not excessive.
He patted Ye Zhendong’s shoulder and said, "Just consider that I found a gold devouring beast. Hurry up and give me the one hundred thousand divine stones. Once we’re done, I’ll arrange for you to be the Chief Judge of the Dance Competition. How about it? A good deal, right?"
Ye Zhendong slapped Ye Yu’s hand away and pulled open his collar, exposing his neck.
"No divine stones. One life. If you want, cut me down."
Such a stubborn display made Ye Yu curl his lips slightly.
"Sigh. It’s just some divine stones. Is it really that serious?"
Two hours later, under Ye Yu’s maneuvering, Ye Zhendong ultimately yielded one hundred thousand divine stones.
Sometimes life was like this.
If you did not push the old man a little, you would never know how rich they truly were.
What?
You ask why Ye Zhendong obediently submitted?
The answer was simple.
When Ye Yu pushed two Divine Maidens into Ye Zhendong’s arms and used a Recording Stone to capture the scene—
Everything became very simple.
The next day.
On his birthday, Ye Yu awoke from his dream with a smile on his face.
When a person has expectations for the future, their mood is always pleasant.
To be honest, he was truly curious what kind of huge gift Mother had prepared.
He was already a bit impatient.
When he heard from a divine attendant that Mother Shi Tiange had summoned him,
Ye Yu immediately rushed to the main hall.
There, he saw Shi Tiange and Ye Zhendong seated at the head position, but his gaze did not linger on them. Instead, it kept scanning the table in front.
Where was the birthday gift?
Was it not taken out yet?
Was the sense of ceremony really this strong?
That only made him even more expectant.
Shi Tiange said with a face full of smiles, "Yu’er, happy birthday. To celebrate your birthday this time, Mother has prepared a gift for you. I hope you will like it."
Afterward, Ye Zhendong gave a glance to the divine attendant outside the door.
The latter understood immediately, bowed slightly, and made a gesture of invitation.
Then, a Divine Maiden in a white dress slowly walked in from outside.
She perfectly embodied the classical beauty of the God Realm, yet the aura around her was extremely cold and aloof.
Especially her eyes.
They were as calm as an ancient well underground, without the slightest ripple.
After entering, she walked to Ye Yu’s side. The two stood parallel, then bowed slightly toward Shi Tiange and Ye Zhendong at the head position.
"This junior, Cui Yanshui, greets Hall Master Shi and Elder Ye."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu’s eyes widened abruptly. He looked at her in disbelief and said in a trembling voice, "You’re Feishui?"
The three people present were instantly covered in black lines.
Ye Zhendong deliberately coughed and said in a low voice, "Yu’er, do not speak nonsense."
Cui Yanshui turned to look at Ye Yu and said word by word, "Yes. I am Feishui."
Ye Yu’s gaze flickered as he awkwardly scratched his head.
Scenes from childhood involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
When he was four or five years old, Shi Tiange would often invite friends to visit Xuanji Hall.
Several of her close friends also had children.
So when they came, they would bring their children along.
That way, while the adults gathered, the children could be together and would not feel bored.
At that time, Ye Yu had disdained playing with little brats.
But to avoid attracting Shi Tiange’s attention, he had to pretend to play along.
Among that group of children, the one who left the deepest impression on him was a chubby little girl.
Her storage ring was filled entirely with food. She was almost always eating.
Every time, she stuffed her cheeks until they were bulging.
The other children liked to tease her when they saw this.
Once, during some pushing and shoving, Cui Yanshui failed to hold onto her sweets, and they all fell onto Ye Yu’s head while he was sunbathing.
The sour and sticky sensation made Ye Yu collapse on the spot.
Subconsciously, he had blurted out—
"Feishui, what are you doing?"
And it was because of that sentence that the nickname Feishui became permanently attached to Cui Yanshui.
The other children immediately surrounded her and began chanting, "Feishui! Feishui!"
Cui Yanshui had been so angry that she cried.
Ye Yu had felt somewhat guilty and wanted to apologize, but by then she had already left.
From that day onward, Cui Yanshui had never come to Xuanji Hall again.
But the name Feishui had remained very clear in Ye Yu’s memory.
He truly had not expected that after so many years, Feishui would return again.
And she had changed so much.
She had become so slim.
Recalling how heartbroken she had cried back then, a wave of guilt rose again in Ye Yu’s heart.
Perhaps the apology owed for so many years was finally due.
So Ye Yu said softly, "I’m sorry. Back then, I spoke without thinking."
The corner of Cui Yanshui’s lips lifted slightly. Using mind transmission, she said, "It’s alright. We have a long life ahead. Please take care of me."
