"Yes, look at the quantity here, it's amazing!" Yang Dou exclaimed excitedly.
Chen Anlin smiled and without saying a word, began to collect the Spirit Crystal Iron Ore.
"Brother Chen," Yu Xiaoling swallowed hard, hesitating for a moment before speaking, "these Spirit Crystal Iron Ores seem to be useful to others."
"Uh, useful to you?"
"Yes, can I..."
"Alright, let's see how you perform next. If you do well, when we return, I’ll share some with you."
"Thank you, Brother Chen!" Yu Xiaoling said sweetly as she hugged Chen Anlin's arm, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Kuxue Xin felt a bit moved as well. She had seen references to Spirit Crystal Iron Ore in some ancient family texts. This was something far superior to Spirit Stones—infinitely better and rare.
Legend had it that heavenly treasures were indeed good, but they were still mortal items. This ore could be used to forge items for immortals. For instance, when refining weapons, adding some Spirit Crystal Iron Ore would create semi-spiritual weapons.
Semi-spiritual weapons were even more powerful than heavenly treasures; they could manipulate the heavens and earth and cut through iron like mud.
Seeing that Yu Xiaoling could obtain Spirit Crystal Iron Ore made Kuxue Xin secretly resolve to have a good talk with Chen Anlin later. If she performed well enough, perhaps she could get ten or eight pieces of Spirit Crystal Iron Ore as well.
However...
She shifted her gaze to Su Menghan and Zhou Tong. The competition pressure here seemed quite significant.
Chen Anlin counted the Spirit Crystal Iron Ore in this area; there were dozens of pieces, each over half a person tall!
After securing their belongings and checking the area once more, the group finally left. Once outside, Chen Anlin distinctly felt that after losing the Spirit Crystal Iron Ore, the quality of the lake water had noticeably declined. It wouldn’t be long before this place was no different from any other.
Yang Dou summoned the treasure ship, and just as Chen Anlin was about to board, he glanced at Kuo Xuexin and felt a surge of amusement. He hadn’t even invited her, yet this woman still wanted to tag along.
Under Chen Anlin's gaze, Kuo Xuexin quickly said, "What if I encounter danger all alone here?"
"Fine, I'll send you home," Chen Anlin replied without further comment.
Kuo Xuexin was taken aback; this guy wasn’t going to keep her with him. There were so many treasures aboard! Was she really less important than that fish demon? After all, even the fish spirit had been taken to the capital by Chen Anlin.
Soon enough, the treasure ship took off. Chen Anlin pulled out three spirit stones and handed them to Kuo Xuexin.
"This is what I promised you before."
Kuo Xuexin accepted the spirit stones, frowning. "Are you really letting me go?"
"Since you seem to understand the situation, I'll let you off this time. But if you dare to cross me again in the future, heh heh heh, it won’t be so easy to resolve. Do you understand?"
Kuo Xuexin huffed in annoyance, "You’ve already ruined everything for me."
"You were the one who started it," Chen Anlin retorted.
"But..." Kuo Xuexin stood on the deck, aware that she was in the wrong and couldn’t find anything else to say. For some reason, after spending time with Chen Anlin, her initial dislike had faded; now she felt a twinge of reluctance at their impending separation.
Am I being abandoned? Kuo Xuexin couldn’t help but wonder.
"What's wrong? Do you still want to serve me?" Chen Anlin asked from behind her.
"Not at all."
"Heh, if you miss me, feel free to come find me in the capital."
"I won’t come looking for you," Kuo Xuexin replied defiantly before adding, "Can I have some of that spirit crystal iron ore?"
"Not yet. It's too valuable; I need to present it to His Majesty first," Chen Anlin firmly refused. He wasn’t going to be a sycophant anymore; he wouldn’t be swayed just because a woman showed interest in him. Giving her spirit stones was merely a gesture of acknowledgment for what Kuo Xuexin had contributed.
As for the precious Spirit Crystal Iron Ore, he was unwilling to give it to anyone.
What a miser!
After being rejected without hesitation by Chen Anlin, Xuexin could only curse inwardly.
The Wan Sword Mountain Villa had arrived.
Yang Dou called out.
"I understand, everyone. I'm leaving now. Yu Xiaoling, I hope to see you again next time."
Xuexin looked at Zhou Tong and Su Menghan, sighed inwardly, and then jumped off the treasure ship.
"Xiao Anzi, how can you let her go after spending a night together? Isn’t that a bit too much?" Yang Dou approached from behind.
Chen Anlin shrugged, "She has the Sword Yin physique; I don't have any feelings for her. If I were to like someone, it would be you all."
"You’re such a bad guy for wanting her physique," Yang Dou couldn't help but exclaim, realizing that he had transformed from a once-smitten admirer into a villainous character.
She didn’t think much of it, though. After all, as a subordinate of the Empress, she had done many bad things herself—like assassinations and even wiping out entire families of enemies.
So she didn’t take Chen Anlin’s actions to heart at all.
As for Su Menghan and Zhou Tong, they were even more devoted to Chen Anlin. They would unconditionally support him in whatever he did!
"What a bad guy; clearly, he's just an adorable little villain!" Chen Anlin said as he wrapped his arms around Yang Dou.
Yang Dou's face turned red, "Are you really calling yourself a little villain?"
"Yes, I'm weaker than you, Sister Dou'er; isn’t that what makes me a little villain? You’re the big villain."
"Enough with the banter; I need to control the treasure ship. It’s been so long; the Empress must be missing us."
With her face still flushed, Yang Dou hurried to the front of the deck.
Chen Anlin sniffed his hand; Sister Dou'er always smelled so good.
Speaking of which, despite her strong abilities, she was quite shy and easily embarrassed.
