"Understood, Sister Xue."
Faced with Qian Renxue's serious purple eyes, Jin Yue'er could only sit up straight reluctantly.
She placed her hands over her knees, gazing at Ye Tian with some lingering attachment.
She firmly believed...
Sister Xue would make proper arrangements for her!
"..."
Ye Tian's right hand, which he had been about to raise, froze in mid-air.
He glanced at Qian Renxue in surprise, not expecting her to be so reasonable.
Qian Renxue withdrew her gaze from Jin Yue'er and turned back to Ye Tian, clutching the purplish-black pill tightly. She inquired, "Ye Tian, how long can your Marrow Cleansing Pill be preserved?"
"At least six months if properly sealed."
Ye Tian didn't speak too absolutely, leaving some room was always best.
Six months was already shocking enough!
Both Qian Renxue and Jin Yue'er looked at Ye Tian as if he were a monster.
Not only were the effects incredible, but it could also be stored for so long.
Didn't that mean it could completely be used for selling?
Even circulated within the Soul Master Realm!
Qian Renxue suppressed her trembling heart, which had been shocked repeatedly, and tentatively asked, "Then Ye Tian, how many Marrow Cleansing Pills can you make in a day? Could you sell me some?"
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Jin Yue'er was overjoyed.
She immediately turned her gaze to Ye Tian.
Waiting for his response.
"Of course! I won't ask for too many."
Fearing Ye Tian might refuse, Qian Renxue immediately added.
"You can name any price."
"Heh."
Ye Tian chuckled softly and shook his head.
Regarding this matter, Ye Tian refused without even thinking about it.
"I don't want to sell."
"Not selling? Why!"
Jin Yue'er widened her eyes, her face full of confusion.
"Because we're friends."
Ye Tian said with a meaningful smile.
"Friends?"
Qian Renxue looked at Ye Tian, her somewhat disappointed eyes suddenly brightening.
"So, I won't sell them—I'll give them to you for free!"
Ye Tian smiled as he slowly sat up.
"Ah—that's wonderful!"
Jin Yue'er screamed with joy, unable to resist spreading her arms and hugging Ye Tian.
"Haha...
"Ye Tian, thank you. From now on, we're good friends."
Jin Yue'er wrapped her arms around Ye Tian's neck, giggling happily.
Her small nose gently nuzzled against Ye Tian's face.
Qian Renxue also nodded seriously.
With a blossoming smile, she said:
"Yue'er is right. From now on, the three of us are the best of friends!"
"..."
Ye Tian forced a dry smile, feeling somewhat speechless from Jin Yue'er's nuzzling.
Of course he wanted to be friends with Qian Renxue and the others.
But even if they said they were good friends, favors still remained.
The price of friendship is higher!
Free is the most expensive!
In Jin Yue'er's situation, Ye Tian was essentially her savior.
Not to mention the lass herself...
Even a powerful figure like Jin E would understand the weight of this.
"Ye Tian, Sister Xue is right—you really smell wonderful!"
Suddenly,
Jin Yue'er stopped squirming.
She just pressed close to Ye Tian's collar, closed her eyes, and wrinkled her nose slightly.
Sniffing that medicinal fragrance~
Her body seemed to feel more comfortable and lighter.
Ye Tian frowned, feeling somewhat ticklish from her faint breathing.
He was about to raise his hand to push Jin Yue'er away.
On the other side,
Qian Renxue actually leaned in too, curiously sniffing, and exclaimed in surprise:
"It seems even more fragrant than before~"
"..."
Ye Tian was momentarily stunned, not expecting Qian Renxue to join in the commotion.
"This kid sure is popular with the ladies~"
Glowing Feather Douluo hovered in the air, arms crossed, watching the scene below with great interest.
With his playful, childlike nature—
He would never meddle in such trivial matters.
The sunset had completely sunk below the horizon.
A faint twilight surged from the horizon, gradually dyeing the entire sky.
The weak afterglow shone upon the front of Wisteria Residence.
Two female ruffians, one on each side, pressed close to Ye Tian's cheeks,
Gently sniffing the medicinal fragrance.
This made Ye Tian extremely uncomfortable, forcing him to raise his hands.
Slap! Slap!
Two crisp sounds rang out in succession, followed by two delicate cries.
"Ah—"
"Ouch!"
Qian Renxue and the other girl covered their faces, stumbling backward on either side.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Tian stood up directly.
"Ye Tian, how dare you hit my face?!"
Qian Renxue steadied herself, glaring at Ye Tian with a mix of embarrassment and anger.
Jin Yue'er also puffed her cheeks in indignation, scolding:
"And you hit so hard!"
"Who told you to act like ruffians first? I just pushed you away, I didn't hit you."
Ye Tian wasn't about to indulge them.
Even though Qian Renxue was a beauty, it couldn't shake Ye Tian's Dao heart.
Ye Tian genuinely wasn't interested in this sort of thing—
If it were lawful, that would be a different story.
"Who's acting like a ruffian? You—don't talk nonsense..."
Qian Renxue, recalling what had just happened, retorted in unbearable embarrassment.
But Jin Yue'er was much bolder than her.
Covering her small face and placing her hands on her hips.
"Even if we were acting like ruffians, you still shouldn't hit us! We're good friends! No hitting next time..."
"There's a next time?"
Ye Tian frowned at Jin Yue'er.
"Yue'er, what nonsense are you spouting?!"
Qian Renxue lightly patted Jin Yue'er's head, her face flushed with embarrassment.
But she had to admit in her heart—
They would definitely do it again. How could they resist when Ye Tian smelled so good?
"Sister Xue, I didn't say you were a ruffian..."
Jin Yue'er covered her head, mainly protecting the five upright pigtails.
Her grandfather had spent a long time learning how to style them...
"Alright, it's getting late. You should head back soon."
Ye Tian glanced at the sky, not wanting to delay any longer.
He took out two small porcelain bottles and a large glass jar from his Soul Guidance Device, and began preparing in front of Qian Renxue and the others.
"So much~!"
Jin Yue'er stared at the purplish-black contents in the glass jar, unable to help swallowing her saliva.
"Such a large quantity..."
Qian Renxue was also somewhat stunned.
Food-type Soul Masters shouldn't be this well-off, should they?
Ye Tian was truly too exceptional!
"Take these two bottles for now. Twenty pills each—don't finish them all at once... It's best to start with five pills a day."
Ye Tian handed over the two small porcelain bottles.
"Thank you, Ye Tian."
Jin Yue'er excitedly reached out and took the two bottles.
This was her guarantee for awakening her Martial Soul!
Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment.
Then she took out a bag of Gold Soul Coins from her Soul Guidance Device and handed it over.
"Ye Tian, this is for you... though it's not much..."
Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle.
"Little Xue, are you going to buy my pills with money every day from now on? Or should teammates who fight alongside me, sharing life and death, still have to pay me?"
"..."
Qian Renxue was taken aback.
Then she understood, showing an apologetic smile.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have offered money..."
"It's fine."
Ye Tian shook his head.
But Jin Yue'er suddenly had an epiphany:
"Ye Tian, if I become your teammate, can I eat for free for life?"
"Let's wait until you awaken your Martial Soul before discussing this."
Ye Tian waved his hand dismissively.
"Hmph! Are you looking down on me?!"
"I really am not."
"Yes, you are!"
"..."
Watching the two bickering beside her.
Qian Renxue smiled gently and put away the Gold Soul Coin. She raised her hand to softly pat Jin Yue'er's head, signaling her to be quiet.
Glancing at the tightly closed Wisteria Residence.
She pursed her red lips and extended an invitation: "Ye Tian, we're heading back now. Would you like to come stay at our place for the night?"
"No need, I still have some matters to attend to."
Ye Tian shook his head.
He needed to take advantage of his free time to order several sets of Taoist robes and a large alchemy furnace!
As for accommodation—
He could just find any place to spend the night.
"Alright, that's settled then. Goodbye!"
"Mm, goodbye."
Watching Ye Tian's retreating figure, Qian Renxue revealed a somewhat sweet smile.
Ye Tian had helped dilute the coldness she felt from Bi Bi Dong.
Just as she turned to take Jin Yue'er home, Qian Renxue's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yue'er!"
"Didn't we agree on five pills per day?!"
