25: Chapter 25 Li Mubai: You really are a dog!

The sun was high in the sky.

Ye Qing sighed with emotion.

As expected, achieving a Breakthrough to the seventh stage of the Indestructible Vajra was quite difficult.

It required long-term, persistent effort.

After heading out.

Zhou Lingxue had already prepared the meal. She looked at Ye Qing, full of energy, with a sweet smile on her Face.

"Husband, you've worked hard. Come and eat."

Ye Qing sat down. He was in a good mood today.

After all, he was going to receive two more crystal cores today.

And they were sixth-rank exotic beast crystal cores at that!

"I'm heading to Jinling Imperial Spirit University in a while. You should just stay home and rest. You expended quite a bit of energy in yesterday's battle."

Ye Qing said.

"Okay." Zhou Lingxue sat down to eat as well.

After the meal.

Ye Qing walked outside.

He left the school gates and headed toward Jinling Imperial Spirit University.

A while later.

Inside the club.

Zheng Yuxin glanced at the door from time to time.

Then, when she saw a figure enter, her eyes lit up. However, upon seeing it wasn't Ye Qing, she let out a heavy sigh.

The person arriving: "..." Eh?!

What's the meaning of this?

Am I not welcome?

Should I leave? Huh? Should I leave?

After waiting for a while, Zheng Yuxin got tired and slumped onto the table.

On the side, Zheng Jia looked at her, thinking she was feeling unwell again.

"Yuxin, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?"

"That's not it. Hey, Older Brother, why didn't the leader come today?"

"You mean Big Brother." Zheng Jia had become very accustomed to using the term "Big Brother" by now; it came out almost instinctively.

"He probably went to collect a debt today."

"Hm? Collect a debt? What debt?"

"I forgot to tell you yesterday."

Afterward, Zheng Jia began to explain.

Ah? There's such a thing!

"Big Brother Ye Qing is so cunning!" Zheng Yuxin listened with great interest. She hadn't expected Ye Qing to have such a cunning side!

"But you, little girl, why are you suddenly so concerned about Big Brother?"

As Zheng Jia said this, Zheng Yuxin's Face visibly turned red.

"What nonsense are you spouting, Older Brother! I, I, I, I don't have any!"

Zheng Jia couldn't be bothered to listen to his sister's explanation.

Over at the entrance of Jinling Imperial Spirit University.

Li Mubai was already waiting.

However, there were red marks on his neck.

Li Mubai touched his neck and secretly thought, this was clearly the work of his own Older Sister; if she weren't related, she wouldn't have been able to strike so ruthlessly.

He looked into the distance and sat down on the side, a helpless expression on his Face.

"When is this guy coming?"

Li Mubai held back his anger. If he weren't afraid of losing Face because news of him being blackmailed spread, would he be waiting here early in the morning?

Since the news of him being saved couldn't be silenced, the matter of him being blackmailed for two sixth-rank exotic beast crystal cores must absolutely not get out.

Otherwise, how could he continue to live in Jinling Imperial Spirit University? Would he even be able to show his Face?

"This bastard, why isn't he here yet?"

Li Mubai thought to himself.

From the side, a voice came, "Senior Li, are you waiting for someone?"

"Ah, yes." Seeing others greeting him, Li Mubai put away the coldness in his eyes and responded with a smile.

"Look, it really is Senior Li."

"Who is he waiting for? I've seen him waiting here for a long time."

"I don't know, but whoever can make Senior Li pay such attention must not be an ordinary character!"

"I'll wait and see too!"

Conversations drifted over from nearby.

Li Mubai looked at the growing crowd and felt panicked. If Ye Qing came and opened his loud mouth to ask for two crystal cores, wouldn't he be completely screwed?

A while later.

Ye Qing strolled over.

Li Mubai went up to meet him, and seeing Ye Qing's handsome Face, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

This guy, beaming with joy—he really wanted to punch him hard in the Face!

Afterward, Ye Qing looked at Li Mubai's neck.

And the faint dark circles under his eyes.

He raised an eyebrow.

They weren't there when he came back yesterday.

What happened to you overnight?

Didn't expect this guy to be into that sort of thing.

"You, you're quite wild. Young man, you still need to exercise some restraint." Ye Qing said earnestly.

Li Mubai: "..."

What the hell are you saying, huh?!

Then, he looked at Ye Qing's gaze and understood.

I... it's not what you think. I'm not the kind of person who likes candles, whips, and dog chains!

Forget it, forget it!

Now is not the time to explain in public. Besides, the more you try to cover this up, the darker it gets.

"Come with me. I'll give you the two sixth-rank exotic beast crystal cores, but I hope you shut up. Don't ever mention these two exotic beast crystal cores or yesterday's events again!" Li Mubai said in a low voice.

Hm?

Ye Qing looked at him playfully, then said righteously: "This is the reward for saving someone, a symbol of my righteous act. How can I not publicize it properly!"

"I was even planning to go back and tell our principal to put it on the honor roll!"

"If you say that, it puts me in a difficult position!"

Pfft!

Li Mubai almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Difficult position?! Then don't do it!

Li Mubai immediately wanted to flip the table, but he had to endure it for now!

"However, regarding this matter, it's not that it can't be handled!" Ye Qing added.

"How can it be handled!"

Li Mubai's eyes were spitting fire.

"You have to pay more!"

Li Mubai: "..." Holy crap!

What the hell! You want money for this too?!

You must be obsessed with money! Huh?!

If it weren't for the public setting, he would really want to attack Ye Qing!

"Fine! I'll give you one more fifth-rank exotic beast crystal core! Is that enough!"

"Straightforward. I like your personality."

"Let's go, let's go."

Ye Qing said, following Li Mubai inside.

A while later.

Three crystal cores fell into his hands.

Ye Qing weighed the crystal cores.

The two had just gone out not long ago.

"Eh? Ye Qing, you're here?"

From behind, a voice came.

Ye Qing turned around and saw that the person speaking was none other than Li Ziqin.

"You actually came to see Mubai. I thought..."

"Thought I was just saying it, right?"

Ye Qing smiled. Then, Li Ziqin looked at Ye Qing's bag. "What is this?"

"This?" Ye Qing said, showing it to Li Ziqin.

The next moment, Li Ziqin's beautiful eyes widened. She couldn't believe what she was seeing!

This is! A sixth-rank exotic beast crystal core, right!

It seems there's also a fifth-rank exotic beast crystal core!

"Why are you carrying so many crystal cores with you?"

"Sigh, I saw that classmate Mubai was injured. I came to see him, and I didn't know what to bring, so I brought some crystal cores. But it seems classmate Mubai has already recovered, so he probably doesn't need them."

Ye Qing said slowly.

This!

Listening to this, Li Ziqin's heart trembled!

Bringing such a valuable gift!

This person, what a grand gesture!

How loyal and righteous!

It's no wonder Father thinks so highly of him!

At that moment, Ye Qing's standing in Li Ziqin's heart rose even higher.

Li Mubai: "..." ???

What the hell! You are truly a dog!

He gritted his teeth. "I feel like I haven't fully recovered yet. I still need them."

"What else do you need? Do you have no shame!"

"How can you be so thick-skinned!"

After saying that, Li Ziqin's hand directly pinched Li Mubai's ear.

Then, a great force was applied!

"Ow, ow, ow! Sister, I was wrong!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I don't want them anymore!"

A while later, Ye Qing leaned over, moving close to Li Mubai's bright red ear. "Did you think I would have said that if your sister wasn't here?"

"You, you are too naive."

"You!" Li Mubai stared at Ye Qing, his lips twitching uncontrollably!

Ahhh, I refuse to believe that in my own territory, I can't beat you?!

You didn't bring your contracted spirit today, did you!

At that moment, a cold smile tugged at the corner of Li Mubai's mouth.

A plan slowly took shape in his mind.
