It was that move again. Chu Qing was caught off guard and Ye Chenxi kissed his lips again. Ye Chenxi’s eyes were filled with smugness and a trace of anticipation.

Chu Qing carried Ye Chenxi and threw her onto the bed. He shook his head and said, “What are you thinking about? Do you think 1 have more to give you? I have given them all to you. There is no more left.”

Chu Qing knew that Ye Chenxi still wanted ambrosia. The taste of power was always intoxicating. However, it was useless to absorb too much ambrosia. Her physique could only change once.

Ye Chenxi accepted this explanation. However, it was inevitable that she was not in a good mood. It was as if her hope had been shattered. No, it was as if she had woken up from a beautiful dream.

Seeing this, Chu Qing took out a Fury Essence Pill from his storage space and waved it in front of Ye Chenxi. “They are gone, but 1 still have this.”

“What’s this?” Ye Chenxi gazed at the medicinal pill in Chu Qing’s hand, her eyes shining with curiosity and excitement. After the recent incident, she had come to view Chu Qing as a valuable treasure and was eagerly anticipating the moment when she could fully uncover his potential.

“The Fury Essence Pill is what 1 promised Aunt Ye.”

“That kind of medicine that can increase one’s strength in a short period of time?” Ye Chenxi asked.

Chu Qing nodded.

Hehe…

Ye Chenxi was secretly delighted. She snatched the medicinal pill from Chu Qing’s hand. As she fiddled with it, she said, “Hey, why are you still calling her Aunt Ye? You should call her Mom.”

Chu Qing thought for a moment and said, “1 think it’s better to call her Mother-in-law.”

“No, I am the one who will address your mother as Mother-in-law,” Chu Qing countered. As Ye Chenxi spoke, she quickly grasped Chu Qing’s implication. Her expression turned slightly sour, and she retorted, “Do 1 have to marry into your family? Wouldn’t it be better for you to marry into mine?”

Of course, it was not good. Chu Qing looked at Ye Chenxi and nodded seriously.

“But what if 1 don’t marry you?”

“That would be your loss,” Chu Qing said half-jokingly.

“Hmph…” Ye Chenxi did not comment, but there was not much joy in her eyes.

“Then how much are you planning to sell these medicinal pills for?” Ye Chenxi changed the topic.

“It’s free. Treat it as a betrothal gift.” Chu Qing hooked Ye Chenxi’s chin and said.

At that moment, Ye Chenxi felt her heart fluttering for Chu Qing. She entertained the idea that marrying him might not be a bad option. She understood that aside from their history, the value of the medicinal pill in Chu Qing’s possession was immeasurable. Yet, he claimed it was free. How could a man like him not be tempting?

“No, it’s the dowry.” Ye Chenxi shook her head and said in order to hide the absurd thoughts in her heart.

“Betrothal gift.” Chu Qing repeated those two words.

“Dowry.”

“Betrothal gift.”

The two of them argued on this issue and neither of them was willing to give in. Ye Chenxi could not win. She was anxious and swallowed the Fury Essence Pili in one gulp. She wanted to compete with Chu Qing again and use her strength to suppress him.

When Chu Qing sensed Ye Chenxi’s thoughts, it was already too late. Ye Chenxi had already swallowed the pill. Chu Qing felt a headache. He felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

When the two of them fought, they did not look like they were fighting. Instead, they looked like they were playing. The air was heating up. Chu Qing’s lips were dry and the fire in Ye Chenxi’s eyes burned brighter.

Everything went smoothly…

Chu Qing’s limbs turned weak as midnight approached. Gazing at the peacefully sleeping woman beside him, he finally realized the additional uses of the Fury Essence Pill.. Ye Chenxi, having consumed the pill, possessed remarkably strong stamina…
