Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 665: You're a Good Man!

"Fairy Lan, let's fight!" Ye Chen's battle intent surged.

Spectators, buzzing about the Minor Space Technique he gifted so solemnly, gaped, eyes glued. The two on the sky battlefield were this era's top prodigies, unmatched. Their clash would be earth-shaking. Unmissable. Now starting, the crowd buzzed with excitement.

…

Lan Nuo, planning excuses, felt Ye Chen's rising intent. Startled, her aura erupted reflexively, boundless power surging, chaos qi swirling around her. She seemed an ancient goddess, chaotic and ethereal. But inwardly, she panicked. A real fight? Should she unleash her Heavy Pupil Pure Land to block prying eyes?

As she pondered, Ye Chen spoke gravely, "Ten years apart, Fairy Lan, you're even more stunning! In this fight, I'll hold nothing back. But on the Immortal Path, past prodigies and sealed ancients await. I don't want my trump cards exposed. So, I'll set up an array to block all prying!"

His words caused an uproar. He dismissed this era's prodigies, eyeing only past ones or ancient monsters sealed in divine sources for the Immortal Path. Such arrogance. Most shocking—he, already monstrous, had hidden trump cards? He was defying the heavens.

Spectators grumbled. They'd traveled far to watch. No view? Unfair.

Lan Clan frowned. They doubted Lan Nuo's chances, ready to intervene. An array could risk her safety. Who knew if Ye Chen's array was safe?

But anxious Lan Nuo, hearing this, relaxed instantly, saying without hesitation, "I also want to see your true strength. Please, set up the array!"

Her agreement stunned the crowd. Letting Ye Chen block all view—how confident was she?

Lan Clan members exchanged looks, unsure if they should stop her.

Ye Chen's lips curved. He deployed the array disk, instantly cloaking them, hiding them from sight.

…

Lan Clan's Immortal City fell silent. Even Saint Kings' divine senses couldn't pierce the array. The scene wasn't what they'd expected. Yet no one left.

Lan Nuo's strength was unclear, but Ye Chen's was undeniable. Killing nine with one, without lifting his hand from his companion's waist. His terror was clear. Yet, facing Lan Nuo, he was cautious, using trump cards. Her strength exceeded imagination.

Everyone grew curious about the outcome. Would Lan Nuo match him? Or, against all odds, suppress him? Even without seeing, no one left.

In Lan Clan's Immortal City, Luo Bingling clutched her jade bottle, glaring at the sky battlefield with a mix of irritation and confidence. She couldn't see through the array. But having sat beside Ye Chen during his fights, his arm around her, she knew his strength. No matter how strong Lan Nuo was, she couldn't match him. He'd likely end it quickly.

Once done, Luo Bingling would gift him the Yellow Spring Water. Then, mimicking Su Yuxuan, use her feet. The combo would leave Ye Chen smitten, drooling at her feet. Smirking, she felt the Dao Cauldron was close.

…

To outsiders, a world-shaking battle raged within the array. In reality, it was silent. Neither Ye Chen nor Lan Nuo moved.

Ye Chen feared Lan Nuo's overconfidence, thinking she could take him. A fine girl with a top physique deserved care.

Lan Nuo worried he'd actually fight her. After a long pause, seeing no move from him, she relaxed. Hesitantly, she asked, "Fellow Daoist Ye, you've always seen through my strength, haven't you?"

He raised a brow, nodding. He approved—she knew her limits, just loved to show off, not blindly arrogant.

Lan Nuo sighed in relief, her cold gaze turning clear. Gazing at his handsome face, her cheeks flushed. "I understand your intentions, Fellow Daoist Ye. You're a good man, but I've never considered a Dao companion. As the Lan Clan's sole heir, I must marry in, not casually pair…"

Ye Chen's lips twitched. She thought he liked her. Rumors, no doubt, painting him as a womanizer. He didn't blame her—his praise and those rumors would make any female cultivator think so. But a good guy card? A first since transmigrating. Fine, rejection was fine—as long as gifts triggered critical hits!

As he prepared pleasantries, Lan Nuo whispered, "I feel your care, and I'm grateful. I'm fond of you too, not just from gratitude. But for my clan, I hope our bond stays secret, just us. Childbirth harms female cultivators' vitality, so most wait until their cultivation peaks to try. I'd like to delay having kids…"

"But I'm willing to have several with you. One should take my surname to inherit the Lan Clan. If you mind, it's fine—they don't have to. I'll discuss with the ancestor, pick a talented side-branch heir instead…"

Ye Chen's eyes widened. Good guy card, then straight to kids? Wasn't this pace a bit too fast?
