Ye Zhendong was completely stunned, pointing at himself in disbelief.
Ye Yu nodded. "That’s right. Don’t doubt it. I’m talking about you. You need half a day just to scrape together a hundred thousand divine stones. If you’re not poor, then who is?"
That sentence nearly choked Ye Zhendong to death on the spot.
A hundred thousand divine stones?
Did he think it was just some casual number?
With that many divine stones, you could even buy the life of an Ancient God Realm cultivator.
(It’s been a while since this was mentioned, so in case you forgot: cultivation realms from low to high — New God, True God, Great God, Heavenly God, Golden God, Ancient God, God Lord, God Venerable.)
Across the entire God Realm, how many God Clan members could take out that many divine stones?
Hearing Ye Zhendong’s agitated voice, Ye Yu didn’t waste any time. With a sweep of his sleeve—
A small mountain of divine stones instantly piled up beside him.
Ye Yu said calmly, "There are one hundred twenty thousand divine stones here. I’ll give them all to you. All you need to do is take them and leave. As for anything else, you’d better not say a single word. Otherwise, this overwhelming fortune won’t belong to you anymore."
Ye Zhendong clenched his teeth tightly, trying not to lose his composure.
Seriously, who could understand this?
His own son couldn’t cultivate, but when it came to throwing around divine stones, he was absolutely unmatched.
So Ye Zhendong found himself torn again and again between his pride and the temptation to fill up his private treasury.
Seeing that he hadn’t spoken for a long time, Ye Yu immediately delivered the killing blow.
"Old man, if I were you, I’d immediately stash all these divine stones away."
"At least that way, no one would notice."
"Otherwise, if my mother sees this, you won’t have a single coin left."
Hearing this, Ye Zhendong didn’t dare hesitate any longer. He immediately stored all one hundred twenty thousand divine stones in front of him.
But he still felt it was too embarrassing, so he forced a deep tone and said in a low voice, "Kid, don’t think giving me a few divine stones solves everything. Out of these one hundred twenty thousand, one hundred thousand are mine to begin with. As for the remaining twenty thousand, consider it interest you owe me. I’m only taking what I deserve. That’s perfectly reasonable."
Ye Yu slightly raised his head.
"You’re sure you want to talk to me like that?"
Ye Zhendong’s heart trembled violently.
After spending so many years with Ye Yu, he knew his temperament all too well.
Whenever he made that expression, it meant his troublesome son was about to stir something up again.
Ye Zhendong instantly regretted it. He should have just left earlier. Why did he have to say so much nonsense?
Was it too late to run now?
Just as Ye Zhendong was hesitating, Ye Yu had already started calling out loudly.
"Mother! The old man just took my one hundred twenty thousand divine stones to fill his private stash. And besides that, he’s also been secretly hiding another reserve of money from you!"
Before his voice even finished—
The previously clear sky instantly filled with dark clouds, thunder rumbling.
Shi Tiange’s heavy voice descended from the heavens.
"Ye Zhendong, you’ve really grown bold. Not only have you learned to talk back, you’ve also learned to hide private money? Have you been lacking a beating lately?"
Ye Zhendong’s face turned pale instantly. He raised his hand and said, "Wife, listen to me expl—!"
His voice abruptly cut off.
A massive arm suddenly descended from the sky, slamming him straight into the ground.
The posture looked exactly like someone planting a radish.
Ye Yu couldn’t help raising an eyebrow.
So this was the legendary combat style of the God Realm? If there was a disagreement, just bury a God Clan member in the ground like ginseng?
In the end, Ye Zhendong failed to keep his private stash.
All one hundred twenty thousand divine stones were confiscated.
Ye Yu, meanwhile, had a serious discussion with Shi Tiange and firmly secured control over the Cui family’s dowry.
Don’t ask why his mother was so easy to persuade.
The answer was simple—"If you take away the dowry, then I won’t go through with the marriage."
Under such reasoning, Shi Tiange could only agree.
Besides, there were still those one hundred twenty thousand divine stones as a base.
Even if Ye Yu squandered the rest of the dowry, as long as those divine stones remained, it wouldn’t count as completely wasting the Cui family’s wealth.
Both face and substance could be maintained. That was enough.
Time passed.
A hundred years slipped by in the blink of an eye.
During this period, the thing Ye Yu did most often was recharge, recharge, and recharge again.
There was no helping it.
He had money, so he spent it.
As for the Cui family, after sending over the dowry, there was barely any further news.
This made Shi Tiange extremely anxious.
She had recently heard that Cui Yanshui had already come out of seclusion sixty years ago and had officially stepped into the Heavenly God Realm.
Back then, it had been agreed that the marriage would happen once she came out of seclusion.
So why was there still no movement now?
Could it be that she had changed her mind?
That wasn’t hard to understand.
Such a young Heavenly God Realm expert was practically one of a kind in the God Realm.
As long as she didn’t fall prematurely, and with the Cui family backing her, her future achievements would be limitless.
With greater strength came broader horizons.
Naturally, she might not look favorably upon a husband who couldn’t cultivate.
But if that were the case, then the Cui family should just say it outright.
What was the point of dragging things out like this?
After thinking it over again and again, Shi Tiange could no longer sit still. She immediately prepared to mobilize Ye Yu and have him make a trip to the Cui family.
Meanwhile, in the Mortal Realm, deep in the night, inside Sifang Tower—
Guang Miao’s delicate and beautiful face appeared somewhat eerie under the moonlight.
Behind her stood several hundred elite members of the Wraith Ghost Sect.
After years of infiltrating Sifang Tower, Guang Miao had successfully risen to the position of elder.
Tonight, it was her turn to guard the sect-protecting formation.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guang Miao and the Wraith Ghost Sect had made full preparations to wipe out Sifang Tower in one decisive strike.
Originally, they hadn’t intended to clash head-on.
But recently, the mortal cultivation world had grown unstable.
If the Wraith Ghost Sect didn’t eliminate Sifang Tower early, they would be restrained in the future.
So they had no choice but to act quickly.
As soon as midnight passed, a streak of red light cut across the night sky.
It was the signal to begin.
Guang Miao immediately opened the sect-protecting formation, and the elite members of the Wraith Ghost Sect poured in like a tide.
Caught completely unprepared, Sifang Tower was thrown into chaos.
Very quickly, screams began to echo throughout the entire sect.
After helping everyone break into the inner sect, Guang Miao did not continue toward the main hall.
Instead, she led a few trusted subordinates straight toward the northern part of the sect.
That was Qi Yuan’s cultivation ground.
Strangely enough, ever since returning from Bitter Joy City, Qi Yuan had remained in closed-door cultivation.
Because of that, Guang Miao had never found a chance to act against her.
But now, she finally had one.
Back in Bitter Joy City, she hadn’t been able to kill her.
But this time, she would show no mercy.
Bang!
Guang Miao kicked open the doors to Qi Yuan’s cultivation ground.
