When Ye Chu woke again, Yang Hui was by his side. She was tending to him with great care. Seeing him awake, a captivating smile spread across her lovely face. Her red lips parted slightly as she spoke with excited allure, “The young master is awake!”
Jin Wawa’s chubby face instantly appeared before Ye Chu. Looking at Yang Hui, who was gently holding Ye Chu and carefully helping him sit up, Jin Wawa regarded Ye Chu with utter disdain. “Your character is so poor. You’re a plague upon an entire city, yet you somehow found such a gentle and beautiful maidservant. It’s truly unbelievable.”
Turning to Yang Hui, Jin Wawa put on what he believed to be a perfect smile, his plump face scrunching up. “Miss Yang Hui! Why don’t you follow this God of Wealth? I shall make you a Goddess of Fortune!”
“No! No need!” Yang Hui waved her hands hurriedly, her face flushing slightly. She held Ye Chu close, looking at him with pitiful eyes.
Having spent several days with Jin Wawa, Yang Hui had long since regarded him as a madman. This fellow was simply incurable. After being with him, everything he saw looked like gold ingots.
His food had to be shaped like gold ingots. The stools he sat on had to be carved into gold ingot shapes. His bed had to be fashioned into gold ingot shapes… In short, everything he ate, used, or slept on had to be made into gold ingot shapes. What was he if not a madman?
Yang Hui couldn’t help but shudder at the thought of following Jin Wawa. Anyone who stayed with such a person would surely go mad.
“If you dare try to steal her from me again, when we return to Wuxin Peak, I will push all your gold ingots and whatnot off the cliff.” Ye Chu stared at Jin Wawa intently. Yang Hui was so gentle and virtuous, and he adored her deeply. With her by his side, he never had to worry about anything in daily life. How could Ye Chu bear to let Yang Hui go? Such a beautiful and charming maid, Ye Chu truly loved her to the extreme.
Jin Wawa looked at Ye Chu with contempt. “For this God of Wealth to take a fancy to her is her good fortune. Miss it, and she’ll never get another chance.”
Ye Chu took a deep breath. In his heart, he recited, “Life is so beautiful, yet I am so irritable.” After repeating this dozens of times, he finally suppressed the urge to strangle Jin Wawa.
“Didn’t you say I wouldn’t get hurt taking the Fairy Hairpin? How do you explain me lying in bed right now?” Ye Chu glared at Jin Wawa furiously.
Jin Wawa rolled his eyes. “Who knew you were so weak that you couldn’t even withstand a trace of aura casually emanated by the Fairy Hairpin. You can only blame yourself. Otherwise, do you think you would still be alive if the Fairy Hairpin had actually attacked you? It would have torn you to shreds with the greatest of ease.”
After saying this, Jin Wawa thought of something else. He pointed at the Fairy Hairpin in Ye Chu’s palm and said, “Let this God of Wealth take a look at this thing! You truly are a pauper. Even when you fainted, you gripped the Fairy Hairpin so tightly, as if afraid someone would snatch it away.”
These words caused both Yang Hui and Yang Ning to look at Ye Chu. They thought to themselves that the young master was indeed clever. Before fainting, he had gripped the Fairy Hairpin so tightly that the only way to take it from him would be to chop off his hand. There was simply no other method.
Jin Wawa had looked at the Fairy Hairpin several times with shining eyes and had tried to pry open Ye Chu’s palm many times. Clearly, he had designs on the Fairy Hairpin.
Ye Chu naturally knew Jin Wawa’s character well. He cast a disdainful glance at Jin Wawa, his gaze falling upon the Fairy Hairpin, but he did not hand it over. “Has that shit-eating worm you cursed at left?”
“Naturally, I beat him and he ran away!” Jin Wawa laughed heartily.
Ye Chu looked at Yang Hui, and seeing her nod, he let out a sigh of relief.
Ye Chu’s seizure of the Fairy Hairpin had driven the young man into a frenzy, causing him to fight until blood was spilled. But Jin Wawa was no pushover. He had clashed with the young man head-on, even going so far as to fight with his life on the line. In the end, the young man could only retreat with hatred in his heart.
Thus ended this world-shaking battle, though half of that city had collapsed and been reduced to ruins.
“This Fairy Hairpin was won by me. Don’t get any ideas.” Ye Chu stared at Jin Wawa and said, “At most, I’ll trade you two gold bars for it.”
After speaking, Ye Chu took out two gold bars and tossed them to Jin Wawa.
Yang Hui secretly laughed at the sight, thinking that the young master was truly bullying him. A Quasi-Supreme artifact, and he wanted to trade it for just two gold bars. It was truly a grand gesture.
But the result left Yang Hui, Yang Ning, and Ye Jingyun dumbfounded. They saw Jin Wawa explode in anger, glaring at Ye Chu as he said, “Do you take this God of Wealth for a beggar? Two gold bars to send me away? Scram! At least three, no, five!”
Ye Chu glanced at Jin Wawa and said, “Just two. Take it or leave it. Gold bars are precious. I obtained them through bloodshed. If you don’t want them, you get nothing.”
Before Ye Chu could even finish speaking, Jin Wawa had already hugged the gold bars to his chest. Suddenly, he smiled ingratiatingly. “Don’t be so serious. Two it is. I’ll make do. After all, we are fellow disciples!”
“…”
The three women present all felt their minds were insufficient, thinking to themselves, is this the thought process of a madman?
“Of course, if you give me a few more gold bars, this God of Wealth might be able to tell you the method to control the Fairy Hairpin.” Jin Wawa smiled at Ye Chu.
Without a word, Ye Chu tossed out another gold bar. “One is my bottom line! Not a single one more!”
Jin Wawa cast a disdainful glance at Ye Chu and tucked the gold bar into his chest. “What a pauper! Very well, this God of Wealth is kind-hearted, so I shall tell you!”
After speaking, Jin Wawa tossed a jade box to Yang Hui and said, “Study the contents thoroughly, and you will barely be able to use the Fairy Hairpin!”
“Young master! Here…” Yang Hui obediently handed the jade box to Ye Chu, but Jin Wawa said, “Ye Chu, it’s best you don’t touch this. This is an item belonging to the Sage of Love. It can resonate with your Supreme Will. If you truly try to control it, it can cause your Supreme Will to grow to an unimaginable degree, instantly breaking the balance you have worked so hard to maintain and completely engulfing you.”
Ye Chu was stunned. He had not expected such an outcome. He looked at Jin Wawa in confusion and said, “Are you trying to scare me for the sake of the Fairy Hairpin?”
Jin Wawa spat, “Is this God of Wealth such a greedy person?”
When everyone nodded, Jin Wawa glared and said, “Hmph! If you don’t believe this God of Wealth, then try it for yourself. Besides, this thing was forged for women. It is more suitable for a woman to control it. Did you see that shit-eating worm demonstrate any real ability when he controlled it? Of course, this has to do with his control technique, but another reason is that he is a man.”
“This thing is also divided into male and female?” Ye Chu felt even more that Jin Wawa was unreliable. This fellow’s words were becoming increasingly absurd.
Jin Wawa ignored Ye Chu and swept his gaze over Yang Hui. “Of everyone present, only Yang Hui is most suited to cultivate that control method, and most suited to obtain the Fairy Hairpin. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. If you become engulfed and die, rest assured, this God of Wealth will absolutely find you a place with excellent feng shui.”
“Scram!” Ye Chu cursed loudly. “But I saved your life. Aren’t you going to show some gratitude? You who call yourself the God of Wealth should know how to repay kindness!”
Jin Wawa tilted his head back and thought for a moment. “What you say makes sense. In that case, this God of Wealth shall help all of you advance by one level.”
“…”
With these words, the four of them fell silent, their hearts racing. Yet they could not help but look at Jin Wawa with doubt. Did he truly possess such means?
