So, he laughed heartily, happily patting Qin Chen's shoulder, saying, “Good, let’s head back now.”
“Wait!” Zi Yun Xianzi quickly said, a radiant smile on her face, “Can you sell me a Dao Fruit?”
“Not selling, you’re not my wife!” Qin Chen glanced at her and replied straightforwardly.
Zi Yun Xianzi was momentarily taken aback; not only was she gifted in martial arts, but she was also an outstanding beauty. Being so decisively rejected by Qin Chen made her teeth itch with the impulse to bite him hard.
She forced a smile and said, “Your Excellency, I am a good friend of your future wife Ji Ruyue. Could you sell me one?”
“You’re a good friend of my wife, how could I not know? Who knows if you're not playing me.”
Zi Yun Xianzi took a deep breath, her forehead veins bulging, and said, “Do I need to deceive you? Besides, you're so smart, could I really fool you?”
“That’s true.” Qin Chen nodded.
Zi Yun Xianzi was about to spit blood; this man was too narcissistic. She forced another smile and gently asked, “So, can you consider selling me one now?”
Her younger brother really needed a Dao Fruit.
“No way!” Qin Chen continued to refuse decisively.
“You…”
Zi Yun Xianzi was so angry she was about to explode.
“However, if my wife Ruyue says you’re really her good friend, then I can give you a fruit.”
“Really?” Zi Yun Xianzi's eyes lit up, “But what if Ruyue doesn’t agree to marry you?”
She felt down again; how could someone as proud as Ruyue agree to marry him?
“No matter if my wife Ruyue agrees to marry me or not, as long as you didn’t deceive me and are indeed her friend, then I’ll give you one right here.” Qin Chen patted his chest and said.
He didn’t even know the situation with the Ji family; stepping in might be like entering a dragon's lair or tiger's den. Having Zi Yun Xianzi with him would at least provide an insider, making the Ji family more wary.
Moreover, with Zi Yun Xianzi around, it would also be easier for the Ji family to let Ruyue come out.
“Alright, then what are we waiting for? Let’s go to the Ji family together.” Zi Yun Xianzi said excitedly, then turned to Ji Ruri and asked, “I wonder if Brother Ji is willing to take Zi Yun along?”
“It would be my honor.” Ji Ruri was overjoyed, feeling that inviting Qin Chen was indeed the right decision, as it brought unexpected gains.
“Yu Zhiqi, you return to the family first and tell them I’m going to the Ji family. There’s no need to worry.” Zi Yun Xianzi said to those under her command.
Immediately, Qin Chen, along with the Ji family and Zi Yun Xianzi, flew towards the Ji family’s warship.
Upon boarding the warship, they found it quite spacious, with tables, chairs, and a soft couch, with the table filled with rare fruits.
“Wow, so beautiful! We don’t have such fun stuff in my mountains.”
Qin Chen unceremoniously pounced onto the soft couch, being the first to lie down, while plucking a grape and tossing it into his mouth. Not bad, it tasted very sweet, quenching his thirst, and there was a hint of true essence circulating within, which was beneficial for cultivation.
“You, get up! This is my couch.”
Ji Ruxing originally held Zi Yun Xianzi with a smile, but upon seeing Qin Chen lying directly on her fragrant couch, her pretty face immediately darkened, and she shouted.
This shameless man really had no shame, daring to desecrate her couch. Who gave him the audacity?
“Oh, is this your couch? No wonder it’s so fragrant. But, I’m a guest; shouldn’t the couch be given to the guest?” Qin Chen said in confusion.
Ji Ruxing was speechless and said, “Then Sister Zi Yun is also a guest. Why don’t you let Sister Zi Yun sit? You should get away from here.”
She said angrily, having a bit of a cleanliness obsession.
“I never said she couldn’t sit! Come, sit over here!” Qin Chen patted the space beside him, “There’s plenty of room here; you can sit over here. Don’t be so stingy.”
Ji Ruxing was going crazy; how could this person have no self-awareness? A woman’s fragrant couch was something a man could casually sit or lie on?
