40: Chapter 40 The Rich Woman's Gentle Kiss

As Lin Ye searched the crowd for Wen Xi's figure, their eyes met instantly~

Upon seeing Lin Ye, Wen Xi immediately dashed toward him as joyfully as a happy little deer, her heart brimming with delight.

Her steps were light and vibrant, causing everyone around to turn their heads in surprise!

Just as Lin Ye opened his arms to welcome her, Wen Xi arrived before him like a charging little piglet,

and then, without any hesitation, she threw herself into Lin Ye's arms and hugged him tightly!

She buried her face deep into Lin Ye's chest, as if she had found the most comforting harbor...

Wen Xi wrinkled her nose slightly, trying hard to sniff that fresh, natural scent on Lin Ye,

the scent that belonged solely to her Little Ye-zi...

It was like a breeze in early summer in the forest, carrying a faint fragrance of grass and trees...

Wen Xi murmured, "I haven't smelled Little Ye-zi for a month; let me get a good whiff."

Her nose moved gently against Lin Ye's chest, like a greedy little kitten,

enjoying this long-lost, familiar scent to her heart's content, every breath filled with satisfaction and happiness.

Lin Ye was caught off guard by Wen Xi's sudden enthusiastic hug, but his heart was filled with warmth and emotion.

He gently embraced Wen Xi, patted her back lightly, and said softly:

"You silly girl~ I'm back now, aren't I? You can smell me as long as you want from now on!"

His voice was filled with doting affection as Lin Ye shifted his body, changing his posture to let Wen Xi hold him more comfortably.

Wen Xi snuggled even tighter into his arms, as if she wanted to treasure this long-lost warmth in her heart forever!

Seeing this scene, the people around couldn't help but reveal knowing smiles, and the surrounding air seemed to become soft and warm.

"Alright, if you keep hugging me, I'm going to be strangled to death," Lin Ye said, lightly tapping Wen Xi's little head.

The two walked hand in hand along the bustling street, surrounded by lively crowds and an array of shops.

But their attention was focused solely on each other, chatting away.

"School starts tomorrow. How is your Winged Race developing?" Lin Ye asked softly.

As intelligent creatures with Excellent-grade bloodlines, Wen Xi needed to put in more effort and use more methods to cultivate her Divine Domain's belief system.

Wen Xi had gone out for training during this vacation to accelerate the establishment of her belief system with her family's help.

After all, Wen Xi didn't have Moonlight Elves as Believers who were born as fanatic Believers like he did;

that was simply a bug! Fortunately, the gaia consciousness didn't ban accounts!

Wen Xi giggled, her eyes sparkling,

"It's alright. With my grandmother's help, the Winged Race's current belief system is being cultivated quite well.

Most of the dependents have reached the stage of True Believers, and there are even a few Devout Believers!

Besides, I have established a perfect mechanism for spreading beliefs...

A portion of the Winged People have already successfully broken through to Tier 2 strength, you know~"

She boasted to Lin Ye proudly, her tone filled with pride and confidence!

Upon hearing this, a flash of admiration passed through Lin Ye's eyes. He gently stroked Wen Xi's hair and said tenderly:

"Not bad, as expected of my rich benefactor, truly amazing!"

Lin Ye's action was full of doting, as if he were petting a cute little animal, and his words were filled with affirmation and praise for Wen Xi!

Hearing this teasing, Wen Xi couldn't help but show a shy smile.

"Do you still have any card loading opportunities?" Lin Ye continued to ask.

Wen Xi frowned slightly, her face showing a trace of distress:

"Ah~ In the beginning stages of the Divine Domain, the number of card loading opportunities is too few. I only have one left that just refreshed today!"

She sighed, a flash of helplessness in her eyes, "There are so many high-star, high-quality cards that I can't load, it hurts my heart!"

Her tone was filled with regret for those precious cards.

Watching Wen Xi invisibly showing off her wealth, Lin Ye couldn't help but tap her head and said with a smile:

"Speak properly, don't provoke a poor guy like me!" His tone was teasing.

Wen Xi heard this, a flash of slyness in her eyes, and she said mischievously:

"Wow! With your senior's support, you must be richer than me now!

If you are a poor guy, then wouldn't I be a beggar?

No, even if I become a beggar, you still have to live off me!

I'll beg for food and then feed you! You can't abandon me!!"

Her words carried a hint of playfulness, seriously expressing that no matter what she became, Lin Ye could not leave her support!

Lin Ye laughed out loud upon hearing this, gently putting his arm around Wen Xi's shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Fine, fine, fine, this poor guy will live off you. As long as you're willing to give, I won't mind at all!"

Their laughter echoed through the street, causing people around to turn and look.

"And the senior isn't as exaggerated as you say; I still have to rely on my own efforts!"

Lin Ye complained silently in his heart; he had no choice but to continue cheating. Deep Blue adding points never goes out of style!

Lin Ye did not refute the existence of this virtual "senior"; currently, this setup provided him with many conveniences.

In this fantasy world, strength is respected and resources are king.

Having a "senior" silently supporting him from behind not only provided him with powerful resources and assistance but also shielded him from a lot of external pressure and conflict.

As long as the cards could be loaded safely, Wen Xi's family probably wouldn't spend too much energy investigating the source of the cards.

After all, the practicality and safety of the cards were what they cared about most.

As long as these cards could bring tangible benefits to Wen Xi's Winged Race, they wouldn't ask too many questions.

In this way, Wen Xi's family would be his first layer of shielding, and the second layer, the "senior," wouldn't be needed.

Lin Ye understood in his heart that even if Wen Xi's family really wanted to investigate the source of the cards, they might not necessarily be able to find any clues.

The source of these cards came from his Golden Finger, and after he had used it so many times, the gaia consciousness hadn't reacted at all.

It seemed that the Golden Finger was likely not harmful.

Because the nature of the Golden Finger was so high that the gaia consciousness wouldn't want a ticking time bomb inside the Main World!

And a super nuclear bomb at that!

Unless there was a method and powerful force at a higher level than the gaia consciousness, it would be impossible to peek into the essence of the Golden Finger, let alone the truth behind it!

The two played happily for the whole afternoon; time seemed to become exceptionally gentle and slow in their company.

When the setting sun gradually sank and the sky was stained with a gorgeous sunset glow, it was time for them to part.

At the moment before parting, Lin Ye finally handed the carefully prepared five-star mythic weapon card to Wen Xi.

At this moment, Wen Xi suddenly stood on her tiptoes and gently pressed her warm, soft, fragrant lips onto Lin Ye's!

This gentle kiss, like a blooming flower, instantly blossomed with endless sweetness and happiness.

Lin Ye hugged Wen Xi tightly, feeling her warmth and tenderness.

One card earned him a warm, fragrant kiss from Wen Xi; definitely worth it!!!

The best!!!
