Immortality Starts With Investment Chapter 621: I'm the Woman You'll Never Have!

Even with Ye Chen wanting for nothing at the moment, gifting had to continue. The future was unpredictable—what if an Age of Dharma Decline descended? Details from the Heavenly Emperor were scant, but Ye Chen perceived the immortal realm's lack of vitality. Hoarding resources made perfect sense.

Upon departing Holy Maiden Peak, he discovered its emptiness—no disciples remained. Yi Qingwu's distant nature ensured she had no followers. Ye Chen shook his head. Such a hassle. As her intended husband, he'd have to assist in running her peak, particularly to enable gifting on family visits.

He roamed the skies of Heavenly Intention Holy Land like he owned the place. An elder flew up, inquiring about his intentions. Upon hearing "just strolling," the elder's lips twitched. Not many in Heavenly Intention favored Ye Chen, but he wandered freely without concern.

"I have duties to handle. Maybe the Holy Son ought to head back to Holy Maiden Peak…" the elder suggested, not keen on escorting him.

Ye Chen gestured dismissively with flair. "No worries, Elder. Tend to your tasks. I'll wander our holy land some more, check out if any talents pique my interest."

The elder's mouth twitched once more. Our holy land? He behaved as if he were Heavenly Intention's Holy Son. Yet the Holy Master's directives were explicit, stressing the gravity, so nobody ought to harm Ye Chen. It would be alright. The elder departed.

Ye Chen pressed onward through the air. Heavenly Intention's otherworldly allure, with cranes soaring gracefully overhead, stayed breathtaking even after its downturn caused by him. As a holy land, its roots ran deep, undoubtedly filled with outstanding female cultivators.

Before long, his gaze sharpened with excitement. A crane drew near, bearing a woman clad in a water-blue gown, her waist bound by a jade sash, her form elegant, skin like fresh snow, beauty captivating. She was no ordinary figure, having reached the Deity Transformation Stage.

His system activated: "Detected gifting target: Lan Feifei! Feedback multiplier: 1,500x!"

Ye Chen nodded in approval. An elite multiplier for a Heavenly Intention female genius. Ideal. He sped toward her without delay. The crane came to a stop.

Lan Feifei furrowed her brows, identifying him instantly. Over the last week, rumors of the alliance between Heavenly Intention and Heavenly Evolution, with Ye Chen betrothed to their Holy Maiden, had spread across the holy land, igniting fury. The deep-seated grudge made his integration as one of their own hard to stomach, particularly for male disciples who adored Yi Qingwu. Their sacred beauty taken by an outsider cut deep, despite their slim chances.

Numerous female disciples shared the opposition to Ye Chen. The Heavenly Intention Holy Son had been their distant icon—mighty, remote, unparalleled. Ye Chen, his slayer, became the object of their scorn. His bold intrusion into their holy land was outrageous.

Lan Feifei counted herself among that group. Upon entering Heavenly Intention, the Holy Son's majestic aura had ignited her reverence, but his betrothal to Yi Qingwu compelled her to suppress her emotions. His demise by Ye Chen's hand ignited her loathing—not only for Ye Chen, but also for Yi Qingwu, whom she despised as brazen for welcoming her betrothed's murderer.

Facing Ye Chen now, only her inferior power and the holy land's ban on clashes held her back from striking. She quelled her fury and fixed him with an icy stare. "What does the Heavenly Evolution Holy Son seek by obstructing my way?"

Ye Chen remained undisturbed by her frostiness—predictable considering his past with Heavenly Intention—and grinned. "Not much. You're at the peak of Deity Transformation, just a step from Unity. I'd like to offer pointers on the Unity path."

Lan Feifei stared in shock for a moment. Advice from Ye Chen, whose aptitude outshone most Heavenly Intention elders, could propel her cultivation forward dramatically. Any Deity Transformation peak expert would crave it. His motive puzzled her initially, but tales of his lecherous ways made sense. He was drawn to her looks.

She scoffed, shaking her head. "Fourth Holy Son, showing sudden generosity? Do you desire me? Too bad, I'm not Yi Qingwu. You'll never compare to the Heavenly Intention Holy Son in my heart. I'm the woman you'll never claim!"

Her outburst brought relief, yet Ye Chen showed no anger or distress, merely nodding with a gentle smile. "You're mistaken. I simply noticed your proximity to Unity and wished to assist."

Her skeptical gaze screamed disbelief. Ye Chen fell silent, then revealed a water-blue divine stone. "This Blue Crystal Divine Stone matches your water attribute cultivation perfectly. Refining it amid your breakthrough might bolster your domain's might. Take it."

Lan Feifei's eyes bulged. For water-based cultivators, it was a peerless treasure, boosting spells and unlocking superior domains upon reaching Unity. And Ye Chen was simply… handing it over?

Her breathing hastened, yet pride, animosity, and resolve made her clench her teeth. "I don't want it!"

Ye Chen offered a subtle smile. "Once I give something, it's not reclaimed. Toss it away if you like." He turned and soared back to Holy Maiden Peak, quick and firm.

Stranded on her crane, Lan Feifei yearned to depart with poise, affirming her determination. But her gaze fixated on the stone, her form frozen in place.
