Chapter 58 : Confused - Heavenly Luo Sect

"I'm sorry, I came here to chat with you, but ended up going in seclusion for so long," Qin Shi Meng stood up from her chair and bowed apologetically as soon as Ye Yong entered the room.

With her beautiful features, furrowed eyebrows, lightly bitten lips, and apologetic eyes, Qin Shi Meng was truly charming. Even if Ye Yong was not in a good mood, seeing her at this moment would dissipate any resentment he had towards her.

Furthermore, Ye Yong treated Qin Shi Meng as his wife and was investing in her as a future female immortal emperor. This increased his favorability and was mutually beneficial.

"The sea of the world is vast, and there are countless beings. We are fortunate to have met and become friends. True friends don't need to be too calculative. If we calculate everything, it will only distance us from each other." Ye Yong spoke with great wisdom and sophistication.

Although what he said made sense and had a high level of sophistication, Qin Shi Meng always unilaterally accepted Ye Yong's help and gifts, feeling quite imbalanced. She also wanted to do something for Ye Yong, but she couldn't think of anything she could do.

Seeing Qin Shi Meng's distress, Ye Yong interrupted her thoughts. "Shi Meng, if you really consider me a friend, the best reward you can give me in the future is to remember me when you ascend to become an immortal. That's enough."

"Shi Meng doesn't think she can ascend to become an immortal before you. Who knows, maybe you'll still be the one to help me succeed," Qin Shi Meng sighed. She was usually self-reliant and didn't rely on her family members in the clan much.

Since Ye Yong broke off their engagement, she had been receiving his favour's. She was afraid she would get used to it, and if she did, what would happen? Now she was starting to get used to it, just like when she learned the sword technique, the first person she wanted to see was Ye Yong.

Well, as he said, true friends don't need to calculate too much. If she calculated too much, it would hurt their relationship. Qin Shi Meng could only silently remember Ye Yong's favor and consider repaying him in the future, but she decided to rely on him less in the future.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Ye Yong took out five spiritual dishes from his storage ring that almost made them lose their souls.

Xiao Huan was a mortal and completely dumbfounded, staring at the spiritual dishes with drool at the corners of her mouth. Wu Xue was a little better but still kept licking her lips.

"You can't eat these two dishes. If you eat them, your soul will explode and you'll become an idiot," Ye Yong said truthfully.

The spiritual dishes that nourished the soul and spirit were indeed good, but they were not something that anyone could eat, let alone these were super-class, equivalent to fourth-class spiritual dishes. Once a mortal's soul received an excessive amount of nourishing energy, it would really explode.

As soon as they heard that they would become idiots, Xiao Huan and Wu Xue finally came to their senses, but despite their fear, they really wanted to know what they tasted like. Because the two spiritual dishes had a strong flavour that even cultivators found hard to resist, let alone mortals.

"You can take these three dishes to your room and eat them," Ye Yong knocked on Wu Xue's head, and Wu Xue nodded, picking up two dishes and rushing into her room. If she stayed here any longer, she was afraid she would lose her sanity. Even if she turned into an idiot, she still wanted to taste that delicacy.

Xiao Huan held the last dish and followed behind Wu Xue without looking back. Cultivators were too terrifying. They could even kill people with food.

After Wu Xue and Xiao Huan left, only Ye Yong and Qin Shi Meng were left in the living room.

Qin Shi Meng looked at the two super-class spiritual dishes with some embarrassment and lightly coughed, covering her little mouth with her jade hand, afraid that Ye Yong would see her salivating.

As a young lady of the Qin family, she had tasted all kinds of rare delicacies, but she had never tasted anything like these magical foods before. "These are..."

"Just some small spiritual dishes, don't worry about it and eat," Ye Yong took out a rice cooker filled with spiritual rice and said, "I'll go get some food for those two girls first."

After Ye Yong went into Wu Xue's room, Qin Shi Meng looked at the spiritual dishes with some dumbfoundedness. To be honest, she had been in a state of exhaustion for four days straight since her realization. Her body wasn't tired, but her mind was exhausted. Now, just the smell of the dishes was restoring some of her consumed soul energy. If Ye Yong called these dishes just small spiritual dishes, she wouldn't believe it. They were absolutely not ordinary spiritual dishes to have such a strong attraction on her soul.

Qin Shi Meng's curiosity about Ye Yong had reached its limit. She really wanted to peel away Ye Yong's secrets, but she couldn't do that. Ye Yong had given her trust by teaching her how to break through the seven-colored foundational level, giving her the mysterious Enlightenment spirit tea and now the spiritual dishes that restored her soul. But why did Ye Yong trust her so much? Qin Shi Meng couldn't recall ever showing him a good face or responding to his enthusiasm. When she cancelled the

engagement, she was even happy... Except for her appearance, Qin Shi Meng didn't think she had anything that Ye Yong would covet, but now that Ye Yong had changed, his eyes were so sincere and no longer had the strong possessiveness that made her repulsed...

Ye Yong came out of the room with a comfortable and kind smile and served Qin Shi Meng. He then asked, "Why aren't you eating?"

Qin Shi Meng didn't understand. She didn't understand why Ye Yong had changed so much and why, after he changed, she couldn't muster up the slightest disgust towards him. All she knew now was that she couldn't wean herself off her dependence on Ye Yong.

"Thank you," Qin Shi Meng took the bowl and said softly.

"It's nothing. Come again next time to eat. If you don't come, I'll come find you," Ye Yong replied.

"Uh..." Qin Shi Meng lowered her head and lightly bit her lip, not looking at Ye Yong again, and buried herself in eating.

Ye Yong didn't mind because the Favorability System would tell him the answer to any changes in Qin Shi Meng's attitude towards him.

Qin Shi Meng's Favorability had now reached 82 points. Her attitude towards Ye Yong had changed from "wanting to know more about intimate friends" to "confused."

Seeing this description of her attitude, Ye Yong knew that she was probably experiencing her first love and developing feelings for him.

Ye Yong sighed that she was indeed the number one female lead. It took over 80 points of Favorability for her to develop some feelings for him, while if it were Wu Xue, she would already be hugging and kissing him.

But Ye Yong knew that this had to do with personality, and he also knew that the Favorability System didn't cap at 100. He had thought about how some hard-to- capture female leads might need over 100 Favorability points to develop feelings for him.

Regardless of whether it was over 100 or not, the Favorability points still needed to be added. So Ye Yong only knew that after Qin Shi Meng's Favorability increased by over 10 points, he had received over 30,000 Transcend Points. One point of Favorability was worth about 2,000 Transcend Points.

It was worth noting that Wu Xue's value was now 148, so an increase of one point of Favorability was already worth 3,000 Transcend Points. If Qin Shi Meng could reach Wu Xue's level, wouldn't that be worth 4,000 or 5,000 points?

I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to get out of this. Ye Yong looked at Qin Shi Meng with increasingly satisfied and pampered eyes.
