Immortality Starts With Investment Chapter 619: This Secret Lets Me Hold You Forever!

Heading to the cave abode to "establish rules"? Ye Chen's gaze sparkled with excitement. He lowered his head, acting obediently. "Apologies, my fiancée, your beauty overwhelmed me. I couldn't resist. It won't happen again…"

Yi Qingwu huffed coldly, retorting, "Who's your fiancée?" Then she spun around, floating gracefully toward Holy Maiden Peak. Ye Chen trailed right behind.

The prodigies of Heavenly Intention felt somewhat relieved. Even if their Holy Maiden was getting married, it looked like she had Ye Chen firmly in hand—a minor consolation.

Within the cave abode, Yi Qingwu prepared to caution Ye Chen about staying low-key to dodge problems, but he suddenly pushed her head downward. Enraged, she barked, "Ye the Fourth, how bold! What do you think I am?"

Ye Chen laughed softly, murmuring, "Qingwu, you don't want Heavenly Intention Holy Land learning you slew the Heavenly Intention Holy Son, right?"

Anger flared in her eyes. "Ye the Fourth, you're utterly shameless!"

Yet, no matter her rage, she refrained from fighting back, yielding quietly. In that instant, she whispered, "You get to use this secret just once."

Ye Chen exhaled in satisfaction, locking eyes with her moments later, smirking. "This secret? I'll keep you bound by it eternally."

He had assumed her prior performance aimed to taunt the Heavenly Intention Holy Son, but since he was already deceased, no need for pretense remained. However, her response proved his error—she truly relished this interplay. Thus, he went with it, yielding... splendid outcomes. The osmanthus scent proved utterly captivating, irresistible.

...

Over the week, Ye Chen fretted that she might demand closeness risking his cultivation. Astonishingly, she never mentioned it. Come the seventh day, he inquired.

Her expression was determined, burning with rivalry, as she declared, "Last time, that barefoot woman surpassed me, grabbing the advantage! Next round, I'll match her—perch longer, force her to witness and suffer!"

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Ye Chen offered a mental thumbs-up, apparently praising Yi Qingwu's resolve, yet really honoring the little demoness who aided him greatly.

...

The week elapsed. Heavenly Intention Holy Master dispatched elders to entertain Ye Chen, acknowledging his exceptional talent worth nurturing. Yet every overture got rejected, denied entry to Yi Qingwu's cave abode, dismissed as "discussing the Dao." Their week-long isolation sparked rampant rumors, particularly shattering the hearts of Yi Qingwu's fans.

An entire week? Ye the Fourth went too far. Why not treat their Holy Maiden more tenderly?

Inside, the pair, previously coiled like a snake, now cultivated normally apart. Yi Qingwu's elegant face feigned icy detachment, but her rosy cheeks revealed the truth, lending her an enchanting charm, akin to a masterpiece come alive.

Ye Chen observed her closely, mulling his upcoming present. For optimal returns, origin energy was ideal—it would elevate her aptitude and multiplier, magnifying later gift benefits. First, though, he required details on her refining time for the Heavenly Intention Holy Son's origin. If excessive, he'd skip waiting. His master awaited, Immortal Qi to deliver, filial duty to fulfill.

"Qingwu, how much time to refine the Heavenly Intention Holy Son's origin?" Ye Chen questioned.

Yi Qingwu's eyes bulged in suspicion, staring daggers. "Threatening me with that again? What fresh shame now?"

Ye Chen: "…"

Half a day passed before he persuaded her of his sincerity, no intent to "etch runes."

She reflected briefly. "Roughly half a month. Those origins were pristine, simple to integrate."

Ye Chen's eyes gleamed. Cleaner origins processed quicker, and his had been cleansed via the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar—a peerless immortal tool crafted from a fallen immortal's demonic shell. Its refining power was supreme.

Handing these to his fiancée, she'd probably absorb them within two months tops. He could afford that. Promptly, he delved into the void, summoning a vortex of impeccably pure origin power.

Yi Qingwu's astonishment eclipsed prior shocks. This origin shone perfectly pure, free of taint, and immense—five or sixfold the Heavenly Intention Holy Son's. She gazed at Ye Chen, feelings swirling intricately.

He beamed warmly. "It stems from the Star River King Body and my ambushers. I stored their origins, purifying them relentlessly with the Indestructible Heavenly Art. You're close to Mahayana; strengthening your body presently will aid you immensely post-breakthrough."

Her pupils quivered in awe. She'd received the Indestructible Heavenly Art from him. These origins could vastly enhance his own frame, but he'd hoarded and refined them ceaselessly for her sake.

His profound affection weighed heavily on her. She attempted refusal. "Save them for yourself. The Immortal Path holds countless enemies…"

Ye Chen shook his head firmly, tone commanding yet affectionate. "On the Immortal Path, none merit being my enemy. You outrank ascension in my eyes. All treasures go to you."
