Chu Yue Li gazed affectionately at Qin Chen while speaking, her eyes shimmering with emotions, almost weaving into threads.
At first, she was merely curious about investing in Qin Chen, but after all that had happened, his strength had already left an indelible impression in her heart.
Such a peerless genius, an invincible figure, possessing both looks and power—who wouldn't like him?
As their conversation flowed, a faint fragrance lingered in the air; a corner of her sheer garment slipped from her shoulder, revealing her fair and smooth skin. Even the deep cleavage beneath her collarbone subtly caught one's eye.
Qin Chen: "..."
Raising a hand, an invisible force spread out, pulling Chu Yue Li's garment back up to her collarbone.
"Master Chu, let's keep business discussions professional; one must maintain their image," Qin Chen said, feeling speechless.
Chu Yue Li was taken aback, her brows knitting slightly in grievance, looking pitiful, "My Lord, do you look down on me?"
She leaned closer to Qin Chen, her breath fragrant, pleading, "My Lord, you may not understand, but while I may seem frivolous, that's merely a facade crafted for survival in this ruthless world. In truth, I have yet to experience the affairs of men and have guarded my purity like jade."
Qin Chen: "??"
He let out a bitter laugh, "Master Chu, I actually have a wife."
"I don't mind," Chu Yue Li shook her head, "In this world, which successful man doesn't have multiple wives or dalliances? That's in a man's nature; how can one suppress their nature? As long as a man treats the woman he loves well, that is enough."
Qin Chen's expression turned serious, "Miss Yue Li, your thoughts are quite dangerous, and I do not agree. Nature is nature, but in this world, aside from nature, one must also bear responsibility; otherwise, how are humans any different from beasts? Even among beasts, some are rather monogamous."
Chu Yue Li sighed, "Young Master Qin, you should only have one wife, right? To be your wife would be so fortunate. A man like you is too rare in this cosmic sea! I have learned so much!"
Qin Chen was stunned.
"Ahem, let’s not discuss this topic any further," Qin Chen hurriedly took out a spatial treasure, "Master Chu, please sell these items at the Eternal Pavilion."
Receiving the spatial treasure, Chu Yue Li smiled, "Young Master Qin, rest assured, I will sell these items quickly. Now that my cultivation has progressed, once I return to report, my family will provide even more support. I will be able to sell throughout the entire cosmic sea, and I fear they might be sold out in an instant."
"Then I look forward to Master Chu's good news," Qin Chen replied with a smile.
"Young Master Qin, won't you consider Miss Yue Li a bit more?" Chu Yue Li inched closer to Qin Chen, her eyes enchanting.
Qin Chen felt speechless and replied lightly, "Saroya, see our guest out!"
A flicker of disappointment crossed Chu Yue Li's eyes as she turned to leave, "If Young Master Qin changes his mind, please feel free to inform me. My family in the Eternal Pavilion is quite prestigious!"
As her voice faded, she walked away.
"My Lord!"
In a flash, Saroya appeared before Qin Chen, scratching his head in confusion as he glanced at the slightly dejected Chu Yue Li, "My Lord, what's wrong with Master Chu? Why does it feel like she just experienced a heartbreak?"
Qin Chen shot him a look, "You have too much free time, don't you?"
"Ah?" Saroya quickly replied, "No, this subordinate was just seriously absorbing the heart of the great emperor. If you don't believe me, look at my current cultivation..."
Buzz!
A terrifying aura of peak great emperor instantly spread out, infused with the powerful Bloodline Power of the komodo beast clan, suppressing the void around them, causing the surrounding space to tremble as if it would shatter.
"My Lord, see? My strength has increased significantly, and I’m already among the best of the peak great emperors. If I can refine that trace of divine emperor's origin from the ancestor of the Black Dragon Society, I might have a chance to touch that legendary realm."
