Chapter 37

After severing his connection with the consciousness of the rules, Ye Feng felt an inexplicable烦躁 as he returned to reality. He had always thought that this world was scientific, but it turned out that it wasn't. The principles he had always adhered to were fundamentally wrong.

His worldview was changed once again.

After another cigarette, Ye Feng got up and left Dongfeng Road, taking the bus to the law firm where Qin Yan worked on Huai'an Road.

On the bus, after the vehicle left Dongfeng Road, Ye Feng focused his senses again. This time, he was not disappointed; he sensed many souls around him.

Withdrawing his senses, Ye Feng finally confirmed that even if there were evil cultivators in Mingzhu City, their activities were limited to the Dongfeng Road area. If this evil cultivator really relied on refining souls to enhance his cultivation, his ability or appetite did not seem very large. At least, he did not have the ability or appetite to refine all the souls in the entire Xiabei District.

In this complex world, there were more than just the masses. Too many unknowns and mysteries awaited Ye Feng to uncover one by one.

After composing himself, Ye Feng got off the bus near Qin Yan's law firm. He found a supermarket and bought some basic toiletries like toothpaste, a toothbrush, and a towel, as well as a new set of clothes and shoes for himself.

After leaving the supermarket, Ye Feng got a neat and tidy haircut. Then, seeing that the time was right, he went to the law firm.

Qin Yan's law firm was located in the middle of Huai'an Road, in a good location. The building where the firm was located had five floors, with the ground floor being street shops and the second floor being the office of Qin Yan's law firm.

At this time, the staff of the law firm should have already left for the day, but Qin Yan was still there, waiting for Ye Feng.

Ye Feng decided to take Qin Yan out for dinner tonight because he would start working tomorrow. He wouldn't have time during the day, and in the evenings, he would need to collect souls and cultivate.

Ye Feng estimated his finances. His savings, plus the salary he received after being fired by his boss, minus the part he gave to his mother when she returned home and the deposit for Miaoyuan Water, left him with less than 15,000 yuan in his bank account.

He needed to reserve at least 10,000 yuan for rent and essential living expenses, leaving him with less than 5,000 yuan to freely dispose of.

Of this 5,000 yuan, he first needed to set aside a portion to take Qin Yan out for a decent meal. Second, he would need to rely on this money for all his living expenses until he received his first paycheck next month.

So, Ye Feng felt that he was really poor now.

Actually, if Ye Feng wanted to get money, it would be very simple. He could just take out one of the jade boxes from the Ling Gathering Cabinet in the space, which contained cultivation techniques and heavenly treasures, and sell it. The value of these jade boxes from another cultivation world in Huaguo was unimaginable. While they might not be worth a city, they were certainly very valuable.

But Ye Feng did not want to do this. He felt that if he did, it would be disrespectful and rude to the Nine Stars Space and the Tianyuan True Immortal.

With hands and feet, one should be self-reliant. This was Ye Feng's principle, just as his mother had taught him from a young age: being poor does not mean being without ambition. What is rightfully yours, you should strive to obtain; what is not, you should not desire or fantasize about. Honesty and sincerity are precious. Living a poor and hard life is not scary; what is scary is a low and despicable heart. No amount of money can buy back kindness and purity.

Therefore, Ye Feng had never entertained any thoughts about those jade boxes.

But at the same time, Ye Feng was not a stubborn and inflexible person. Since he was the master of the Nine Stars Space, using it to improve his and his family's living conditions was not out of the question. However, this required careful consideration. The jade boxes themselves could not be touched, but the heavenly treasures inside them could be used, such as the Yin-Yang Fruit.

Ye Feng had once imagined that after the Yin-Yang Fruit matured, he would keep a portion for his family and a Yin Fruit for himself and Qin Yan for beauty and youth preservation. The rest could be used wisely, though he had not yet thought of a good way to do so.

This was not urgent. He needed to wait for the right opportunity and be well-prepared. Such things with heaven-defying effects must be handled with caution.

When Ye Feng met Qin Yan, his new short and neat hairstyle made her look at him with new eyes. She even suddenly had some thoughts that made her blush and her heart race. At that moment, she really thought Ye Feng was handsome, and the more she looked at him, the more she felt he had a special charm and charisma that was very attractive.

Ye Feng was no longer the same Ye Feng who had looked haggard in the detention center. Now, he was full of energy, with a ruddy complexion. After cultivating and strengthening his body, especially after reaching the initial stage of the Second Level of Qi Condensation, his appearance and aura had changed significantly. At first glance, he seemed ordinary, but the more you looked at him, especially when you got close and sensed his unique cultivation aura, the more you would realize he was extraordinary. This was especially true for women, which was partly why Wu Xinghua had impulsively kissed Ye Feng and enthusiastically arranged a job for him.

Of course, Ye Feng did not understand this. If he knew, the image of the Tianyuan True Immortal in his heart would certainly fall again. He would think that the Tianyuan True Immortal must have been a playboy in his youth who enjoyed making women infatuated and indulging in pleasure.

Ye Feng suggested taking Qin Yan to a good restaurant in Mingzhu, but he did not know what kind of restaurant was considered good. More importantly, he had never been to such a restaurant and could not judge whether his finances could afford it.

So, Ye Feng somewhat awkwardly let Qin Yan choose a place and even mentioned his budget limit, which was 2,000 yuan for a meal.

Yes, Ye Feng did not want to pretend to be rich. Although he felt a bit awkward, he honestly reported his financial capability. He was not afraid that Qin Yan would laugh at him for it.

Seeing Ye Feng's behavior, Qin Yan was amused and suddenly felt that Ye Feng was really nice, genuine, and even a bit cute.

This feeling made her heart beat a bit faster.

She coughed a few times loudly to hide her indescribable feelings and then smiled, "Ye Feng, if you really want to take me out for a fancy meal in Mingzhu, 2,000 yuan might not be enough, let alone 20,000 yuan. But I don't like fancy meals. How about this: I know a seafood street by the sea where the barbecue is quite good. The prices are reasonable, and the food tastes great. Most importantly, the environment is elegant and spacious, and you can enjoy the night sea view while eating. How about we go there?"

Ye Feng had no objections and nodded, "Sure, let's go there. Sister Yan, that's a great suggestion. To be honest, I've never really had seafood before. More importantly, I've been in Mingzhu for several years and have never seen the sea."

Qin Yan smiled, "If that's the case, what are you waiting for? Let's go now. The earlier we go, the better chance we have of getting a good spot."
