Chapter 98: Help Me Put It On!

Xu Daoyan stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly held the letter containing the secret that his mother had given him.

Looking at Xu Daoyan's joyful expression, Shi Man smiled and asked, "Young Master Daoyan, if the Heavenly Concealment Immortal Robe were to cost all the immortal coins you have and still leave you in debt by several tens of millions, would you buy it?"

"Of course I would!" Xu Daoyan didn't understand why Shi Man would ask such a question.

Shi Man smiled slightly but felt a bit uncomfortable. She asked, "Young Master Daoyan, do you need anything else?"

"Not for now. I don't even know what I need. After I finish refining the ten-thousand-year-old spirit copper, I'll take a look and come back to find Miss Man!" Xu Daoyan was very eager. He wanted to give the Heavenly Concealment Immortal Robe to Yun Wu as soon as possible.

Seeing that Xu Daoyan was still wearing the Thunder Armor but buying an exquisite immortal weapon for someone else, Shi Man was speechless.

"Miss Man, I'll take my leave first!" Xu Daoyan got up and bowed.

"Uh, aren't you going to take a look at the other items?" Shi Man looked at Xu Daoyan, paused, and then suddenly remembered something. She quickly added, "Young Master Daoyan, rest assured, it won't be like last time!"

"Uh? It's not because of that. I need to return to Fulong Academy first to give the Heavenly Concealment Immortal Robe to someone and then use the ten-thousand-year-old spirit copper for refinement." Xu Daoyan explained, and Shi Man felt relieved. She was afraid he might still be upset about the last incident.

"Then, Young Master Daoyan, please take your time!" Shi Man watched as Xu Daoyan and Bai Shi left. A flash of light, and they disappeared from the room.

"Miss, the Heavenly Concealment Immortal Robe, even with the Heavenly Stone Order, would cost at least 250 million immortal coins! This amount of 100 million immortal coins is not a small sum. What were you thinking?" Hong'er sighed.

"It's fine. I can make the decision on this amount. Consider it as compensation for last time!" Shi Man sighed softly. She had always wanted to find an opportunity to express her apology but never had the chance.

Hong'er glanced at Shi Man, feeling a bit sorry for her.

Xu Daoyan and Bai Shi returned to the small building in the back mountain of Fulong Academy. They saw Gao Ziqi frowning and playing chess with Meng Ziyang. Xu Daoyan asked, "Senior Brothers, where is Miss Yun Wu?"

"In the bamboo house next to you." Gao Ziqi didn't even look at him but said, with his ears perked up.

"Um, Bai Shi, go back to the house first. I'll find Miss Yun Wu!" Xu Daoyan instructed. Bai Shi nodded and went back to the house, while Xu Daoyan walked towards Yun Wu's bamboo house.

"Miss Yun Wu!" Xu Daoyan knocked lightly on the door.

"Please come in, Young Master Daoyan!" Yun Wu's voice came from inside the bamboo house. Xu Daoyan pushed the door open and saw her sitting cross-legged on a bamboo bed.

The furnishings and layout were identical to Xu Daoyan's room!

"Miss Yun Wu, is it convenient now?" Xu Daoyan was afraid of disturbing her cultivation.

"Of course, Young Master Daoyan, what is it? Please speak freely!" Yun Wu stood up, her eyes sparkling like stars, and her lips curved into a smile as she looked at him.

"Uh, Miss Yun Wu, you blocked a sword for me, and your immortal robe was damaged. I just went to the Stone Dragon Chamber of Commerce, and this is my gift of thanks!" Xu Daoyan took out the Heavenly Concealment Immortal Robe.

"An exquisite immortal weapon, hmm? It's actually made from Heavenly Concealment Purple Dragon Skin. This kind of refinement technique is from a high-ranking figure of the Mo family. The value of this immortal robe is at least 300 million immortal coins, Young Master Daoyan, you... " Yun Wu was moved. She knew that the value of a rich man's generous spending and a poor man's single coin was different. She deeply understood that such a man should be cherished. She had seen how much loot Xu Daoyan and she had gained from their joint cultivation, and she estimated that all of it would amount to this much. But he was willing to spend all his money on her, which had a different meaning.

"Uh? It's not that expensive. Miss Man only charged me 150 million immortal coins!" Xu Daoyan didn't know that the Heavenly Concealment Immortal Robe was so valuable. It seemed that Man had deliberately given him a discount. He would have to go to the Stone Dragon Chamber of Commerce to thank her later.

"Miss Man? Who is she?" Yun Wu raised an eyebrow and immediately focused on Xu Daoyan, asking.

"Uh, she is the daughter of the president of the Stone Dragon Chamber of Commerce, Shi Man." Yun Wu's change in expression and tone made Xu Daoyan feel a bit strange.

"Oh? You two are very close?" An immortal robe worth 300 million could be sold to Xu Daoyan at half price, which was an unusual relationship.

"We only met once, but some things happened." Xu Daoyan was very honest.

"Can you tell me about it?" Yun Wu was curious.

Xu Daoyan briefly recounted the story, and Yun Wu sighed. With her experience, she naturally understood what had happened.

"Um, Miss Yun Wu, please accept it!" Xu Daoyan placed the Heavenly Concealment Immortal Robe aside and turned to leave.

"Young Master Daoyan, can you help me put it on?" Yun Wu knew about Shi Man's feelings, but this didn't hinder her, as it was a gesture of Xu Daoyan's affection.

"Uh? Wear two immortal robes at once? That doesn't look good, does it?" Xu Daoyan felt very strange and said seriously.

"Clumsy, help me take off the old one and put on the new one, isn't that better?" Yun Wu laughed and walked up to Xu Daoyan.

"What... " Xu Daoyan's face turned red, and he quickly turned around, saying, "Miss Yun Wu, men and women should not touch each other. I can't do this!"

"Ha ha..." Yun Wu laughed heartily, very happy. She walked around to face Xu Daoyan, who was the same height as her. They looked into each other's eyes, and she said, "If Young Master Daoyan doesn't help me put it on, I won't accept it."

"This!!!" Xu Daoyan was flustered by Yun Wu's teasing and quickly said, "Miss Yun Wu, you must accept it."

"I said, if you don't help me put it on, I won't accept it." Yun Wu's eyes were misty, gazing at him.

"..." Xu Daoyan didn't know what to do, unsure whether to leave or stay.

Seeing Xu Daoyan's embarrassed look, Yun Wu laughed even harder and said, "Young Master Daoyan, this is my only request. Will you fulfill it for me?"

"Men and women should not touch each other. I dare not offend, Miss Yun Wu. I'll take my leave. If you don't want it, just throw it away!" Xu Daoyan bit his lip, avoided Yun Wu, and ran out of the bamboo house like he was escaping.

Yun Wu didn't stop him, watching Xu Daoyan's back with amusement. "This fool, so many people would beg for what he has, but he... "

Xu Daoyan's heart was racing, his face red, and his breathing rapid. He hurried back to his bamboo house.

Meng Ziyang and Gao Ziqi were playing chess.

"Brother Daoyan is truly unappreciative of his blessings. She made such a request, and he still talks about men and women not touching each other. I really want to teach him a lesson!" Gao Ziqi looked heartbroken and tearful.

"Ziqi, you really lack respect. Eavesdropping on others, and you're his senior brother." Meng Ziyang was speechless, clearly aware that Gao Ziqi had been eavesdropping on Xu Daoyan and Yun Wu's conversation.

"Ziyang, you don't understand romance. I'm concerned about Brother Daoyan's love life and giving him some guidance as someone who has been through it. If everyone were like you, many women would be left alone and lonely." Gao Ziqi teased.

"..." Meng Ziyang was silent, clearly having a woman he loved. Only Gao Ziqi dared to tease him about it. He placed a chess piece.

"Ah ah ah... I lost again." Gao Ziqi was frustrated. He had been eavesdropping and made several mistakes, leading to a quick defeat.

Xu Daoyan returned to his bamboo house and tried to calm himself. He felt that his relationship with Yun Wu had taken a step forward.

Bai Shi saw Xu Daoyan's strange expression and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing, nothing. Continue your cultivation."

Xu Daoyan's voice trembled, and Bai Shi, seeing his state, realized, "It seems something good is about to happen between Master and Miss Yun Wu..."

Xu Daoyan sat cross-legged on the bed, his heart filled with waves of emotion. This feeling was strange but also wonderful.

"First, cultivate, cultivate!" Xu Daoyan took out a copper block the size of a human head and used his spirit copper body to draw out its power.

Sure enough, a force far more pure and powerful than the best golden immortal stone flowed into his lungs, evolving into a more powerful immortal aura.

The power contained in the spirit copper, through his lungs, permeated his entire body, refining his spirit copper body.

The spirit copper body had three stages: initial, minor success, and great perfection.

Each stage was different. Currently, Xu Daoyan was only at the initial stage.

He closed his eyes, gradually drawing the power of the ten-thousand-year-old spirit copper into his lungs, evolving the immortal aura, and refining his spirit copper body. As long as he continued to cultivate, the spirit copper body would soon reach the minor success stage!

While Xu Daoyan was cultivating, inside the Tian residence.

Tian Tian returned to her palace, which was exquisitely decorated. The white gold oil lamps hanging on the walls burned with the fat of the Northern Mystic Fish, which had the power to calm the mind and enhance the soul. The price was extremely high, with just one ounce of oil costing 100,000 immortal coins. In her palace, there were hundreds of oil lamps, and the consumption was unimaginable.

The flickering lights of the oil lamps illuminated the palace in a golden glow.

Tian Tian was dispirited, her heart filled with various emotions. She dismissed all the maids and sat in the main hall, her eyes red, tears streaming down her face. "I won't marry, not to the Xiao family, absolutely not. Why has Mother become like this!"

She muttered to herself, hugging her knees and curling up in the armchair.

A figure appeared before her, someone she knew very well.

"Father, you finally came!" Tian Tian, seeing her father, burst into tears, like a child finding hope, and rushed into his arms. She knew only her father could help her with this matter.
