Chapter 224: No More Arrogance

Chapter 224: Chapter 224: No More Arrogance

’This girl just doesn’t know when to quit.’

Ye Yunyi then looked at the contract, a smile on his face.

"Alright, just get some rest for now. If you get hungry, come out and eat. You’re an adult, so I don’t need to arrange everything for you," Ye Yunyi added.

Over here, Ren Jingyi’s lip twitched as she listened.

’Damn.’

’Is his attitude really so different before and after I signed the contract?’

To be honest, she had been a little touched by Ye Yunyi’s earlier concern. She had thought he wasn’t a bad guy after all.

He was powerful, handsome, and even knew how to take care of people.

But now...

All Ren Jingyi felt was pure hatred!

Hatred for her own lack of strength!

’If only I was strong enough to leave a deep fist print on Ye Yunyi’s handsome face!’

Immediately!

Ren Jingyi flopped onto the bed in a silent rage.

Then she wrapped herself in the blanket.

Ye Yunyi saw this but paid the girl no mind.

After all, he had the contract in hand.

Why would he bother with such things?

With a thought, Ye Yunyi summoned a Divine-level Dark Guard to his side.

Ye Yunyi handed him the contract.

The Divine-level Dark Guard departed.

「A short while later.」

Ren Jingyi felt some of her strength return.

She came out to wander around.

She wanted to check out Ye Yunyi’s courtyard.

And also see what good food he had here.

After all, she’d already paid for her room and board.

’Can’t let it be a total loss, right?’

And so, she walked out.

Seeing all the beautiful women in the manor, she felt a sense of helplessness.

Ren Jingyi had always considered herself a great beauty, but now it seemed she had no particular advantage in this manor.

In fact, she was downright ordinary here!

Ren Jingyi then turned her attention to the women from the Soro Clan, observing them.

It had to be said.

These women from the West were truly beautiful.

They had a different kind of charm compared to the beauties of the East.

In this post-apocalyptic world, there were probably very few men from the East who could experience a Western beauty.

Ye Yunyi was one of that rare few.

While Ren Jingyi was lost in thought...

...on the other side, at the manor’s entrance...

...someone opened the gate.

Then, a group of people arrived.

’What?!’

Ren Jingyi’s eyes widened in disbelief at what she was seeing.

’Jeez.’

’Another group of Western beauties?’

’What’s going on?’

Over here, Ye Yunyi saw them too.

He immediately walked over.

After a brief conversation, he understood.

They were from the Del Clan of the West.

Their intention couldn’t have been more obvious.

It was the same as the Soro Clan and the Rose Clan before them.

However...

’They’re arriving in quick succession.’

’It seems the things I gave the Rose Clan worked.’

’The Rose Clan must have grown stronger in the West.’

’Combined with my reputation here...’

’...all these Western clans must have found out about me.’

’That’s why this is happening.’

But as Ye Yunyi looked at these beauties, he naturally refused no one.

He would take them all in!

Beside him, Ren Jingyi was floored when she saw Ye Yunyi accept them without hesitation.

’Damn.’

’This guy really lives up to his reputation as a marriage maniac.’

’He’ll take anyone who comes.’

「A short while later.」

Ren Jingyi started to feel numb.

’Even more groups of beautiful women arrived?’

’Th-th-this!’

’Have the people of the West gone mad?!’

’Are they trying to send every beautiful woman in the West to Ye Yunyi?’

Ye Yunyi, on the other hand, was grinning from ear to ear.

’This is great.’

’Those Western clans really know how to play the game.’

Ye Yunyi immediately called over the leaders of these few groups.

Then he looked at them.

"When you go back, thank your Patriarchs for me. Also, take these things back to them," Ye Yunyi said, flipping his hand over to reveal several bottles of medicine.

He distributed them among the leaders.

Ye Yunyi opened one bottle, and a fragrant medicinal aroma immediately drifted out.

As the leaders in front of him inhaled the scent, their faces took on expressions of sheer bliss.

The medicinal fragrance was simply intoxicating!

Nearby, Ren Jingyi also caught a whiff of the medicine’s fragrance.

In an instant, she felt refreshed, and the soreness in her body even eased a little.

’Whoa.’

She stared at the medicine.

’That must be some good stuff!’

Then, Ren Jingyi recalled something.

Everyone used to say that this guy, Ye Yunyi, was a master Alchemist who controlled the Medicine Alliance.

But Ren Jingyi hadn’t paid it much mind at the time. After all, at her current level of strength, most medicines were of little use to her.

Or rather, the medicines created by the Alchemists here were of little use to her.

However, she had a feeling Ye Yunyi was different.

She looked at the medicine in Ye Yunyi’s hand with a sense of anticipation.

Here, Ye Yunyi explained, "This is a medicine I refined some time ago. It can enhance one’s strength. Since your Patriarchs sent you all this way, I can’t let you return empty-handed."

"Go back and tell your Patriarchs that we should keep in touch. If I have time to go to the West, I’ll visit your clans as well."

Ye Yunyi’s words brought beaming smiles to everyone’s faces; they were overjoyed.

After all, with that statement from Ye Yunyi, their mission this time could be considered a success.

"Alright, you may head back now."

Hearing Ye Yunyi’s words, they knew better than to linger and quickly put the medicine away.

They then left the manor.

After all, they were now carrying a great treasure.

They needed to return to their clans as quickly as possible.

Ye Yunyi looked at the remaining beauties and began to arrange rooms for them.

Ren Jingyi watched the busy Ye Yunyi.

She knew.

This guy would have his hands full from now on.

"Surely no more beauties are coming, right?" Ren Jingyi muttered. But in her heart, she thought, ’Given the way these Western clans are acting, more beautiful women will probably be sent to Ye Yunyi.’

Just then, there was a knock at the manor gate.

’Damn, one actually came!’

’Let me see if this one is pretty.’

Ren Jingyi thought, her eyes fixed on the entrance.

At that moment, Shangguan Yulan entered the manor.

Ren Jingyi stared at Shangguan Yulan, momentarily stunned.

’This woman is gorgeous, but she’s not from the West.’

’Huh?’

’Why does she look so familiar?!’

Then, her lip twitched.

’My train of thought was stuck on Westerners.’

’Holy crap!’

’Isn’t that the Eighth King General?’

’Could it be?’

Ren Jingyi then recalled the rumors she had heard about the Eighth King General and Ye Yunyi.

’I guess I’ll get to see if they’re true.’

Meanwhile, Shangguan Yulan also spotted Ren Jingyi in the distance.

She observed the dust on her clothes and the expression on her face.

’I remember...’

’Not long ago, at the Spiritual Fusion Barrier, Ren Jingyi was by the side of the Fifth King General, Ren Tianxing. You could say she was full of spirit and brimming with pride.’

But now, she looked like a plucked phoenix covered in dust.

Her heroic spirit was completely gone.

And her previous arrogance had vanished.

Shangguan Yulan thought, ’That Ye Yunyi really has his methods.’

’He’s got a real knack for dealing with arrogant little girls!’

A smile played on Shangguan Yulan’s lips.
