61: Chapter 61 Can you help someone put it on?

"I didn't expect Brother Zhou to be such a devoted lover," Ye Xuan teased.

"Brother Ye, could you help Nan Xu pick out a Source Stone?"

Ye Xuan's performance earlier had caught Nan Xu's eye, and she naturally felt that this handsome older brother was very impressive.

"Miss Nan Xu is quite interested, I see." Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment before a smile spread across his handsome face. "As for picking Source Stones, I can't make any guarantees, but I can certainly accompany you both for a stroll."

They weren't leaving until the day after tomorrow, so Ye Xuan was in no rush; accompanying this young couple for a stroll was fine.

The three of them strolled leisurely through the stone gambling den.

"Heehee, thank you, Brother Ye! Could you take a look for me and see how these few Source Stones are?" Nan Xu's eyes, like Little Moon, flickered as she looked at Ye Xuan expectantly.

Five exquisite Source Stones were displayed on a magnificent table. A middle-aged stall owner sat on a grand armchair to the side, watching the passing cultivators without saying a word.

"Ahem... I think you should ask your fiancé, Brother Crown Prince Zhou Yuan, for his opinion first." Ye Xuan did not have the ambitions of Prime Minister Cao, so he pointed somewhat awkwardly at Crown Prince Zhou Yuan, who was standing to the side with a dark expression.

Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Zhou Yuan finally displayed a look of satisfaction and looked at his young fiancée with hopeful eyes: "That's right, why didn't you ask me?"

"Hmph, I don't want to. Last time I listened to Brother Crown Prince Zhou Yuan, I lost thirty thousand Spirit Stones!"

Unexpectedly, the petite Nan Xu said something shocking, instantly making the atmosphere here become exceptionally strange.

"Brother Ye, please just help me, okay!"

Nan Xu actually acted cute and suddenly hugged Ye Xuan's arm. Although the latter didn't feel much, the murderous aura behind him was exceptionally piercing.

Unexpectedly, Crown Prince Zhou Yuan forced a smile onto his gloomy face and nodded towards Ye Xuan.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this guy is truly too thick-skinned. He sees his own fiancée pulling and tugging at another man and isn't even angry. It's no wonder he has that cuckold type of plotline," Ye Xuan muttered in his heart.

"Alright, alright, let go first. I can help you pick a Source Stone."

Ye Xuan deliberately kept a cold face, putting on an aloof appearance, but that peerless face of his only became more attractive.

"Wow, Brother Ye is really so good-looking!" Unexpectedly, Nan Xu became even more infatuated, holding her pretty face in her hands. This time, she didn't act rashly toward this Brother Ye, who could be called an immortal among men.

"Let's go with this white Source Stone."

Ye Xuan looked carefully and discovered that among the five Source Stones on the table, only this one matched the description in the life-destiny script; it should be the Source Stone that would yield the Heaven-grade Ice Flower Hibiscus Jade.

"Heehee, oh, just this one? Brother Ye, I actually wanted to pick this Source Stone just now too. I didn't expect your eye for things to be the same as mine."

All five Source Stones were dull and lackluster; only this white rough stone was relatively pretty, which was also the reason Nan Xu liked this particular Source Stone.

Nan Xu took out one thousand Spirit Stones and bought that white Source Stone.

"Fairy, would you allow this humble one to cut the Source Stone for you?" A cultivator in the True Profound Realm gathered his courage and stepped forward to ask.

Because Nan Xu was very beautiful, the young True Profound Realm cultivator was very tempted and wanted to help to win the beauty's favor.

"Hmph, who wants you to cut it for me? Go away quickly!"

Nan Xu gave that person a dissatisfied look, then looked at Ye Xuan with eyes full of little stars: "Brother Ye, can you help me cut the Source Stone? Your luck must be very good!"

Her expectant gaze was something Ye Xuan couldn't quite handle, and he could only helplessly look at Crown Prince Zhou Yuan again: "Brother Zhou, what do you think?"

"Hahaha, Brother Ye, there's no need to be polite. Since your luck is good, then you should cut it. I'm sure you'll definitely be able to cut out something good."

Crown Prince Zhou Yuan laughed magnanimously, then said with some apology: "I can only blame this girl for liking handsome men, and since Brother Ye happens to fit this condition, as long as Nan Xu is happy, it doesn't matter."

"Since that is the case, then I, Ye, will respectfully comply."

Ye Xuan took out the small Source Knife from earlier, infused a trace of Mystic Power into it, and began to cut the white Source Stone in front of him bit by bit.

The white shavings were peeled away bit by bit.

"Wow, so amazing!" Nan Xu clapped her little hands.

A faint Sword Intent was drifting around, making Crown Prince Zhou Yuan click his tongue in amazement. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how could he believe that a Spirit Profound Realm cultivator could actually grasp Sword Intent and even use it on a Source Knife to cut a Source Stone? Such precise control of Mystic Power was simply too terrifying.

Truly a remarkable person!

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, this young man's talent is truly terrifying. To be able to easily mobilize Sword Intent and use it on a Source Knife at his cultivation level is simply unbelievable."

The old man following behind Crown Prince Zhou Yuan spoke again, a hint of appreciation on his aged face, "Compared to that young man surnamed Yun from earlier, I'm afraid he is the true prodigy."

"Wow, that is the Heaven-grade Spirit Jade, Ice Flower Hibiscus!"

Nan Xu's petite body shouted in surprise, and she even rushed over impatiently, picking up the palm-sized Heaven-grade Spirit Jade.

At this moment, this petite young girl's favorability toward Ye Xuan rose from seventy to eighty.

"Good! Hahaha... Brother Ye has truly opened my eyes today. A Heaven-grade Spirit Jade—it just so happens that Nan Xu is missing a hairpin. With this Spirit Jade, we can craft a fine spiritual treasure."

Just as Crown Prince Zhou Yuan was overjoyed, his favorability had already risen to sixty-five.

Seeing this happen, Ye Xuan was somewhat ashamed; this couple was truly interesting.

The matter of crafting the hairpin was left to the stall owner. Within ten minutes, the hairpin was crafted; it was ice-blue all over, as deep and moving as the ocean water.

"Wow, Brother Ye, can you help me put it on?" Nan Xu asked, again saying something shocking.

At this, Ye Xuan immediately had a headache. What was going on? Did this woman have any self-awareness at all?

Her own man was right there, and she was asking him to help her put on a hairpin?

Why didn't she ask him to marry her on behalf of her fiancé?

"This..."

Facing Ye Xuan's helpless gaze, Crown Prince Zhou Yuan laughed magnanimously: "Hahaha, as long as little Nan Xu is happy, anything is fine!"

"???" Ye Xuan was dumbfounded. "You're still laughing? This is your future wife!"

"Has a favorability of seventy made you lose all guard against me?"

"How can there be such a stupid fool in this world."

"Heehee, wow, this hairpin is truly too beautiful. Thank you, beautiful Brother Ye."

After Ye Xuan personally put the hairpin on for Nan Xu, the petite girl spun around in place. Her gauze dress fluttered, and she was as innocently cute as a free spirit, becoming the sole focus of the place.

Crown Prince Zhou Yuan also laughed out loud. His fiancée had become even more beautiful after putting on the hairpin; how could he not be happy?

"By the way, it is now noon. Nan Xu and I are going to attend the Xuanbao Pavilion auction this afternoon. I wonder if Brother Ye would be willing to grace us with his presence?"

The setting sun was already hanging in the sky. Ye Xuan had wandered around the stone gambling den with the two of them for an hour, and he only felt a headache. Whether in his previous life or now, accompanying a woman shopping was always a troublesome affair.
