"Sure, I won't mind gifting this to Li Mei, so give me this artic sword," Ye Chen agreed without any hesitation while enjoying the softness he felt through his arm.
However, he maintained a calm look.
Watching him like this, Lan Ming was a little upset; however, she perked up and started to explain all kinds of items here.
Of course, she made sure to keep his left hand pressed between her soft mountains, which made Li Mei feel sour.
'Humph, I can also do this!" Li Mei thought sulkily before hugging Ye Chen's right arm with flushed expression.
Feeling the softness coming from both sides, Ye Chen was pleased even more.
However, this wasn't the case for the male and female disciple who were watching him.
"How could he be so lucky, damn it?"
"Why wasn't I there? I should've gone and introduced every item if I knew I could do this!"
The male and female disciples whispered with anger and regret.
Fortunately, the old man wasn't here; if not, he might spit out blood after seeing his lovely granddaughter like this.
Just as the disciples were busy whispering, Ye Chen calmly faced the softness and kept looking through the different items.
'It would've been better if I had some kind of inheritance or memory that explained these things,' he thought to himself while asking Lan Ming to get the things he needed.
What he wanted were only some low-grade herbs, seeds, and some miscellaneous items, which totaled about a hundred low-grade spirit stones.
It was expensive; however, for the treasure pavilion, it was nothing; because of this, he didn't shy away from taking things for free.
After this, he continued to look around more and got a few extra items that he liked.
"Lan Ming, thanks for your help; you saved me a lot of time by explaining everything." Ye Chen thanked her with a serious look.
Hearing this, Lan Ming knew it was time for him to leave, and she couldn't help but become upset.
"Brother Chen, are you going back now? Can't you stay here for more time?" She inquired with an unwilling expression as she tightened the grip on his hand.
From when she was a kid, she had always dreamed of a handsome, charming brother whom she could marry and have kids with.
However, reality struck hard as she grew up and found out ugly male disciples everywhere. Some of them were good-looking, but, in her eyes, they were still ugly whenever she recalled her handsome brother from a dream.
Although she wasn't able to see the face of her mighty brother, she knew he was handsome beyond heaven.
But everything was useless since it was only a blurry dream, and her friends started to make fun of her that no one like that existed.
Nevertheless, she remained confident that there was a mighty brother beyond heaven's waiting for her.
It was when she saw Ye Chen descending from heavens.
Suddenly, the blurry dream from years ago became clear, and the figure of Ye Chen talking to her softly appeared in her mind.
It was at that moment she knew he was her mighty brother from dreams she wanted to marry, and just like some love-struck fool, she lost her reasonings before waiting for his arrival.
The time passed day by day, making her heart burst into anxiousness, until she suddenly received the news of his arrival today and came here running.
She had waited for this day for more than a week, and now seeing him leave again, she was unwilling.
'At least take me with you, brother Chen! I want to live with you!' She said it in her heart as she looked at him with hope.
Ye Chen didn't know her thoughts, so he became a little stunned at her sudden hopeful gaze.
'Am I that handsome?' He muttered in his heart, wondering if the beauties would start killing each other just to get close to him.
However, he didn't ponder over too much and looked at the lovestruck girl with a smile.
"Lan Ming, it's time for us to leave, so I can't stay here. But you should know where I live, right? Then just drop by whenever you want to; I promise you will be able to come and go freely there," he replied with a soft tone.
There was no reason for him to reject her affection. Moreover, Lan Ming was the little boss of this treasure pavilion and could help him get some items that Zhen Yunqi couldn't with her status.
Not to mention he could also sell items with her help; because of this, he planned to work with her, and if she could directly come to his courtyard, it would be good as there wouldn't be any prying eyes.
Lan Ming didn't know about his thoughts, so she became stunned when he said she could go and find him whenever he wanted.
'D-does brother Chen want to do that?' She thought with a blush and forgot to react.
Meanwhile, Li Mei hugged Ye Chen's arm tightly, wondering why he was asking someone else to come to their courtyard.
'Senior brother, that's our courtyard; you should at least ask me if I am okay with it or not,' she thought with a sulky look.
When suddenly Lan Ming snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Ye Chen with a flushed face.
"Brother Chen, I love you!" She whispered before she threw herself in his arms and snuggled in his chest without any warning.
'Ahh~ this is my handsome, mighty brother! Nn~ I can't control myself anymore. I want more cuddles. I want more~' she thought in her heart while rubbing her face in his chest like some cat.
"W-what are you doing?" Li Mei couldn't help but exclaim with wide eyes when she saw this.
"Sister Li Mei, don't worry, I am not after brother Chen's heart but his body," Lan Ming replied with a serious look, trying to make her worries go away.
However, this didn't make Li Mei feel good, and she only became anxious, but before she could say something, Ye Chen intervened.
"Lan Ming, when you have time come to my courtyard, I will give you something good," he said as he patted her head.
Hearing him Lan Ming didn't hesitate and nodded.
"I will, brother Chen!" She replied with an obedient look.
After this, Ye Chen exchanged a few more words and left with all the things he wanted.
Watching his fading back, Lan Ming couldn't help but feel sad; however, after remembering that she could go and see him soon, she perked up.
