C66 Cousin's heart

"Cousin, please don’t say no. All these years, you have been treating me so well, but I have never given you anything. So please take it." Ye Yang said sincerely.

Looking back on the time when they were young, Ye Qingxuan had indeed been taking great care of Ye Yang. But Ye Yang was very autistic and bad tempered.

He often saw Ye Qingxuan's care as pity and ridicule. From time to time he would swear her verbally and chase her away.

Thinking back on it, Ye Yang felt extremely guilty. Although it was not his own fault, he still felt that he owed her a lot.

"But I …"

"Please don’t. Alright, go back and submit your missions, everyone. I will bring my cousin to stow away her mount," After greeting everyone excitedly, Ye Qingxuan climbed onto the Colorful Phoenix Bird with Ye Qingxuan.

The Colorful Phoenix Bird let out a clear cry, flapped its wings, and instantly flew tens of kilometers away.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ye Yang gently took out a jade plate, and handed it over to Ye Qingxuan. He said, “When I was out there this time, I saw a fruit on a tree. It seems delicious. Have a taste.”

Ye Qingxuan took the jade plate, and looked at the round red fruit. Just as she was about to put it in her mouth, her body suddenly trembled, and she stared at the fruit in disbelief.

Ye Yang screamed inside. And indeed, Ye Qingxuan’s beautiful eyes flashed with shock. She said, "Cinnabar Fruit!"

"Ahem, looks like it. Cousin, just eat it," Ye Yang said.

The reputation of the Cinnabar Fruit had long ago spread through the entire continent. Almost every ordinary girl would have a picture of the Cinnabar Fruit hanging over her bed.

They dreamt of one day receiving the blessing from heaven, obtaining Cinnabar Fruit, and maintaining young forever.

It could be said that the image of the Cinnabar Fruit was already deeply imprinted in their souls. So Ye Yang’s little trick didn't deceive her, and she recognized the fruit.

Ye Qingxuan's delicate hands slightly trembled, and two streams of tears rolled down her snow-white face, as she sobbed gracefully.

"Ye Yang, you are so good to me. However, I can only accept your kind intention. It's just that this treasure is hard to come by even in a thousand years. Giving it to me would be such a waste."

Ye Yang felt a wave of guilt. Ye Qingxuan had always been silently protecting him, and had never asked for anything in return.

Ye Yang stretched out two fingers, picked up the Cinnabar Fruit, placed it next to Ye Qingxuan's mouth, and said, "Right now, I have already touched this Cinnabar Fruit. If you don't eat it, its essence will soon dissipate. Come on. Don’t waste it.”

Seeing that Ye Yang was so determined, Ye Qingxuan's heart was filled with warmth as she gently opened her lips.

Ye Yang placed the Cinnabar Fruit into Ye Qingxuan's cherry lips and only relaxed after seeing her swallow it down.

Ye Qingxuan suddenly threw herself into Ye Yang's embrace, and her tears were like pearls. She choked with sobs, "You’ve given me the Cinnabar Fruit. But what about Yu Qing? She’s the one closest to you.”

Ye Yang gently embraced Ye Qingxuan's delicate body. His nose was filled with the fragrance of her hair, and he laughed, "Aren’t we close enough?"

Hearing that, Ye Qingxuan's heart beat faster, and her face felt hot. She buried her head in Ye Yang's embrace, but held Ye Yang tighter.

"Don't worry. Who told you there's only one Cinnabar Fruit?"

"You have another one?" Ye Qingxuan was shocked.

Ye Yang smiled and nodded.

A treasure like the Cinnabar Fruit would definitely bring about a fatal disaster for Ye Yang. Now that Ye Yang had not only given her one, but also frankly admitted that he had another, it meant that he fully trusted her. A wave of warmth filled her heart.

Ye Qingxuan gently pulled away from Ye Yang's embrace. But when she retracted her hands, she felt something hard.

Looking down, she immediately blushed. She quickly turned and cursed: "Ye Yang, you’re such a bad boy!"

Ye Yang was startled. He lowered his head and wished to jump down from the air and finished himself.

At some point, a huge tent propped up between his legs, looking like it was about to break out.

Ye Yang didn't know how to explain the situation. His feelings for Ye Qingxuan were pure as the sun and moon, and he definitely didn't have any sexual desire for her just now.

Who would have thought that he would be ruthlessly sold out by his "little brother"? There's nothing he could do to remove the stigma off his name.

"I … I …" Ye Yang open his mouth and tried to speak several times, but no word came out.

"You don't need to explain. It only means that you’re a grown man." Ye Qingxuan said softly as she blushed, but she did not dare turn around to face Ye Yang.

Ye Yang secretly hated himself. He ruthlessly struck his little brother. But the greater the pressure, the greater the rebound force, and it almost broke his pants.

Ye Yang hurriedly gathered his spirit energy and eliminated all distracting thoughts. After operating for a while, he diverted his concentration, and the awkward situation disappeared.

When they arrived at the place where mounts were stored, they had already forgotten about the awkward situation just a while ago. Ye Yang greeted the person in charge and stored the Colorful Phoenix Bird here.

This was a special area, which provided the high-ranked elites with the maintenance and care of their mounts.

However, the demonic beast mounts here were usually provided by the families of the elite students. Those who had the ability to catch their own demonic beasts were few and far between.

When the Colorful Phoenix Bird appeared, the dozens of mounts around it all felt uneasy. Some even started trembling.

Ye Yang looked around and found there were only four Second Ranked mounts, other all being First Ranked demonic beasts. And there were various kinds, including wolves, insects, tigers and leopards.

After paying the management fee of 2000 points a year, Ye Yang left another 200 points as a tip for the manager, telling him to take good care of the Colorful Phoenix Bird.

The manager was overjoyed and received the points. He swore to heaven that he would treat the Colorful Phoenix Bird as his parents. After receiving the identity plate, Ye Yang was then assured and left with Ye Qingxuan.

With the identity plate, they could come to visit the mount anytime. After returning to the Academy, Ye Yang parted with Ye Qingxuan and directly went to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

Ye Yang found Tie Li in a courtyard in the middle of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. Tie Li asked a little puzzledly, "You asked me to find an open area. May I have your order, Mr. Ye?"

Ye Yang did not waste time saying anything. With a wave of his hand, the Flaming Salamander fell into the courtyard, causing the entire Treasure Gathering Pavilion to tremble.

"Flaming Salamander," Tie Li was shocked.

"I wonder, Uncle Tie Li, how many points do I get from this Flaming Salamander?" Ye Yang said. He had already used up all his points, so he needed more right now.

Tie Li checked and found that other than missing a leg, and a large hole on top of the Flaming Salamander's head, its entire body was completely intact.

Then Tie Li asked in surprise, "This Flaming Salamander has already reached the late stage of the Third Rank. Its defense is strong, and it has almost no weakness. Even normal Fourth Ranked Demonic Beast would find it difficult to deal with it. How did you kill it, Mr.Ye?”

"Um. It’s against the rules, isn’t it?" Ye Yang said as he frowned.

"Oh, I was unthoughtful. Please do not take offense, Mr. Ye!" Asking about the privacy of others was a taboo among martial cultivators, so Tie Li quickly apologized.

"It’s fine, Uncle Tie Li. Take a look at it and tell me how many points this is worth. I want to exchange for some points, because right now I have no point left." Ye Yang laughed.

Tie Li calculated for a bit and said, "This Flaming Salamander is very well preserved. It can make over a hundred pieces of armor, and can completely defend against a warrior's full power attack."

"A set of armor is worth two hundred points, so a hundred sets would be twenty thousand points. I will give you twenty-two thousand points, and it’s the best I can offer in my power. Are you satisfied with that, Mr. Ye?" Tie Li said cautiously.

"No problem, Uncle Tie Li. Your reputation is unquestionable. I definitely trust you. But can you leave me the meat of this newt?" Ye Yang asked.

Ye Yang's words made Tie Li feel extremely comfortable, and he said generously, "Newt’s meat is not even worth much. Just take them all!"

"It's just that this Flaming Salamander is extremely lustful in nature. Its meat is even more potent than some strong aphrodisiacs. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to eat it. What do you want this meat for?" Tie Li was a little doubtful.

Ye Yang suddenly realized. No wonder after he ate it that day, his whole body became hot and dry. And he made a fool of himself when he was with Ye Qingxuan. On the way to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, he felt aroused when he saw female students. Now he understood why.

However, after thinking about the benefits that the Flaming Salamander meat had brought him, Ye Yang decided to continue eating. He could avoid going out and it wasn’t a big deal.

Towards Tie Li's doubt, Ye Yang only said that he wanted to carry out some experiments. It was just for fun and stuff.

Tie Li did not suspect anything, and ordered the Flaming Salamander to be dragged to the back to process, and told them to preserve the meat.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ye Yang waved his hand and said, "Uncle Tie Li, do you recognize this demonic beast?"

The corpse of a grey spider that was the size of a round table appeared in front of Tie Li's eyes. Tie Li stepped forward and looked at it carefully. The more he looked, the more shocked and uncertain he became. And he even took out a manual to check cautiously.

He said with a look of pleasant surprise, "This is a Dark Rock Spider. It is naturally drawn to dark, afraid of light, and it lives in a group. It is extremely toxic and paralyzing. It can threaten an expert of Emperor Level."

"Also, the poison sac is completely preserved. No matter if it's to concoct poison or to refine medicine, it's all top quality. I will give you 50,000 points for this corpse," Tie Li said expectantly.

Ye Yang was also shocked. He didn’t expect a corpse without crystal nucleus to worth such a high price. He asked for the reason immediately.

It turned out that the Dark Rock Spiders were extremely rare, and they could only sneak attack in dark environment. It was extremely powerful and its venom was even more potent. Even an expert of Emperor Level would get into trouble if he touched its venom.

Therefore, it could be sold at a sky-high price. And its crystal nucleus was not that important anymore.

After understanding all of these, Ye Yang once again threw the Blue-eyed Eagle's corpse out. But now Tie Li was already numb. He used up all of his expression of shock and could only stare at it in a daze.

However, the price of the Blue-eyed Eagle greatly surprised Ye Yang. Tie Li only offered him a price of 3000 points.

Tie Li gave him a reason. Although this Blue-eyed Eagle was a Fourth Ranked Demonic Beast, its body's value was extremely low. The most precious part of it was its crystal nucleus of wind attribute.

But Ye Yang was not prepared to give it away. So Tie Li could only let it go. All that was useful about this Blue-eyed Eagle was its feathers.

Arrows made from Blue-eyed Eagle’s feathers would have the wind attribute, and fly further completely silently.

Now both sides were satisfied. They all had what they wanted. And Ye Yang took out five more "Bone Break" inscription.

In the end, Ye Yang left the Treasure Gathering Pavilion with a huge sum of more than 110,000 points. Ye Yang lightly stroked the little thing in his arms, turned around, and headed towards the Scripture Pavilion.
