85: This is called playing hard to get! Playing is mutual.

Mier quickly went to buy food with her maid.

Though Ye An was helpless, he could only endure it.

After all, it wasn't worth it to kill someone's maid over such a small matter.

Fortunately, there was still time in the afternoon. If the little maid was sensible in the afternoon, Ye An wouldn't bother with her... Meanwhile, Ye Mier and her maid were walking down the street.

The maid asked,

"Young Miss, you were almost successful this morning!"

"Why do you always make me interrupt you?"

"You didn't see Young Master Ye's eyes; I felt like he wanted to kill me!"

Ye Mier smiled upon hearing this.

"What I want is for him to be anxious. The more anxious he is, the closer I am to success!"

"This is called playing hard to get!"

The maid asked, puzzled,

"What playing hard to get? We don't even know how long Young Master Ye will help at our shop!"

"Why aren't you hurrying to seal the deal? Why are you still playing hard to get?"

Ye Mier smiled and said,

"I told you you wouldn't understand, and you really don't use your brain!"

"I'm telling you, although based on this morning's performance, I've basically succeeded!"

"But precisely at this moment, I must hold back and not let him have his way!"

"Why is that?" the maid asked, confused.

Ye Mier smiled and said,

"Because the easier something is to get, the less people cherish it!"

"Men are the same!"

"The easier you make it for him to get you, the lower your status will be in his heart!"

"Although I am eager to marry myself off!"

"But I still need to try to raise my status in Ye An's heart!"

"Otherwise, with so many women, once I marry him, I'm afraid he'll quickly forget me!"

The maid obviously didn't understand these things, as she wasn't yet at the age to worry about men.

Ye Mier didn't bother to explain further, saying,

"Don't worry about it; I have my own plans!"

...Lunchtime quickly passed.

And by the afternoon, Ye Mier indeed changed her battle plan.

Using the excuse that the shop was too busy, she stayed on the first floor all afternoon.

She thought this would make Ye An anxious and uneasy, as things had been so heated in the morning.

But in the afternoon, she continuously gave him no opportunities. If it were another man, he would surely be distracted.

Unable to focus on anything!

But she overlooked one thing: Ye An was no ordinary man.

Although he had no women in his previous life, he had watched many TV shows about women.

Especially those who were good at scheming!

Sure enough, he soon realized that Ye Mier was trying to wind him up!

But this trick was clearly useless against him!

Since she wasn't coming, it was a good opportunity for him to quickly prepare some Grade-4 auxiliary profession products.

To prepare for doing business in Jianglan City in the future!

So, Ye An spent the entire afternoon on the second floor, inscribing Formations and Talismans, and finally, he even found time to refine two batches of Fourth Grade Pills in the alchemy room on the second floor!

Although the value of these items might not compare to a single Fifth-Grade Pill.

But at this critical juncture, accumulating more was always good!

...The afternoon quickly passed.

In the evening, Ye An returned to the Main Family. Although Ye Mier had no idea that he wasn't falling for her tricks at all.

But truthfully, being provoked by that little hussy in the morning did leave Ye An somewhat unsettled.

When he returned to his courtyard.

Ye An saw Ye Yinger and Ye Tonger sitting in the courtyard doing needlework!

It looked like they were preparing children's clothes.

Ye An sat down next to them and asked,

"Why are there only the two of you?"

"Where are Xin Lian and Bai Ran?"

Ye Tonger said,

"Sister Xin Lian's body recovered somewhat today!"

"She ate dinner and went to bed early!"

"Sister Bai Ran only went out once today, during lunch!"

"She's still resting in her room right now!"

Upon hearing this, Ye An couldn't help but look at Liu Bairan's room.

"Was last night too stimulating?"

"It actually made this Little Fox Fairy unable to handle it?"

Ye An muttered to himself.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Although Liu Bairan was powerful, she was pregnant now.

Plus, she had indeed been tossing and turning for most of the night, so being sleepy today was normal.

But it seemed like the two of them wouldn't be able to tonight.

Yet his great endeavor of accumulating Karma couldn't stop!

And being provoked by Ye Mier in the morning, Ye An was truly a bit frustrated.

So Ye An smiled and said,

"Since Xin Lian and Bai Ran are resting early!"

"How about your husband takes you to a fun place?"

"A fun place? Where?" Ye Yinger asked curiously.

Ye An smiled and said,

"You'll know when we get there!"

Then Ye An led the two into the storage ring... A night passed quickly.

The next morning, in the courtyard!

Ye Yinger and Ye Tonger had just pushed open their door, preparing to go in and rest.

They immediately saw Ye Xinlian.

"Ying Er, Tonger? Why do you both look so pale?"

"Didn't you rest well last night?" Ye Xinlian asked.

And seeing Ye Xinlian's already recovered complexion, Ye Yinger and Ye Tonger instantly understood.

Why Ye Xinlian had been too tired to get out of bed yesterday!

It was all Ye An's doing!

...Ye An naturally didn't know these things.

A moment later, he arrived outside the shop.

Seeing Ye Mier and the maid busy, Ye An frowned slightly.

He immediately called out,

"Mier, take me to the auction house!"

Seeing the maid still there, Ye An was truly scared!

Afraid of experiencing the feeling of a roller coaster again.

Since that was the case, it was better to go do some proper business.

"Alright!" Ye Mier replied, put down her work, and ran over.

Then, led by Ye Mier, the two hurried towards the auction house.

Along the way, Ye Mier introduced the situation of the auction house.

"The auction house in our Ye Family Pass is an industry of Madam Qin!"

"And Madam Qin is considered a top Family even in White Province City!"

"Throughout the entire White Province City area, Qin Family auction houses are almost everywhere in various cities!"

"It's even said that Madam Qin also has auction shops in other provinces, but of course, I don't know the specifics!"

Ye An nodded upon hearing this, then asked,

"What kind of weapons does this Ye Family Pass auction house usually have? Do you know?"

Ye Mier smiled upon hearing this.

"After Master said he wanted to buy weapons yesterday, I checked it overnight!"

"Actually, not just in Ye Family Pass, but swords are the most popular weapons throughout the entire Great Yan Dynasty!"

"Other weapons are fewer!"

Ye An asked in surprise,

"Why is that?"

"Does everyone want to be a Sword Immortal?"
