Chapter 469
As the saying goes, every profession has its specialty.
Although Ran Jingjing had a lively and somewhat unreliable personality,
she had cultivated to the Underworld Ghost Realm and lived through long years.
She had encountered countless ghosts and events along the way.
When it came to cultivation, she had her own unique insights.
Under her guidance, in less than half a month, Xin Wan'en completely shattered the long-standing bottleneck in her cultivation, advancing one step further and reaching the Ghost Immortal Realm.
Ye Yu also benefited from this, advancing in his cultivation.
He leaped straight to the peak of the Earth Ghost Realm, just a step away from the Heavenly Ghost Realm.
This made him very happy.
He specially gave Ran Jingjing a verbal commendation!
Yes, just a plain verbal commendation in the literal sense.
Because aside from that, Ye Yu had nothing to give Ran Jingjing as a reward.
What? Heavenly materials, earthly treasures? Cultivation techniques?
Don't even mention that Ye Yu didn't have them.
Even if he did, wouldn't it be better to help Xin Wan'en with a direct boost?
How could he give them to Ran Jingjing?
It was just absurd!
But even so, Ran Jingjing didn't say much.
She even praised Xin Wan'en as a good seed with great talent, only lacking experience.
She said that with proper cultivation, in a hundred years, she would reach the Earth Ghost Realm.
When saying this, Ran Jingjing was filled with pride.
In just a hundred years, crossing two major realms—this could be considered a remarkable feat in the entire Underworld.
However, Ye Yu was not entirely satisfied with this progress.
A hundred years was a bit too long, right? Could it be shortened?
This caused Ran Jingjing to break out in black lines.
She directly said, "Not everyone can have your terrifying speed."
"A hundred years is already the shortest time."
Hearing this definite response, Ye Yu could only shrug and agree.
He didn't forget to throw out another grand promise to Ran Jingjing.
"In short, work hard, and I won't treat you unfairly."
To be honest, when saying these words, Ye Yu felt like a heartless boss.
The feeling of having no money yet still being able to pressure his subordinates to work hard and earn money was just too satisfying.
Straightforward people are easy to trust.
Ran Jingjing was just such a person, so she believed Ye Yu's words completely.
Whenever she heard promises of future rewards, she was thrilled.
Sometimes, she even became so excited that her bones emitted a faint glow.
It looked shiny and beautiful, really captivating!
Ye Yu had an impulse to pinch them.
Well, that thought was definitely not good.
Who would want to pinch someone's bones?
Staying in the Underworld for too long, Ye Yu realized he wasn't normal anymore.
One year later.
As time passed, Xin Wan'en grew more and more respectful towards Ran Jingjing.
One day, when Ye Yu found Xin Wan'en and urged her to keep going,
Xin Wan'en said seriously, "I will work hard and strive to surpass you, and truly embody what a mentor should be."
Ye Yu couldn't help but laugh.
Surpass him? In this life... no, to be precise, in this dream, don't even think about it.
Xin Wan'en looked confused and asked, "What are you laughing at? Stop laughing. By the way, can you be nicer to Jingjing? She's not the fool you make her out to be."
"She's amazing, and she treats me very well."
"And if you really want to calculate, she could even be your great-grandmaster."
Hearing this, Ye Yu, who was eating a spirit fruit, choked and spat it out.
Great-grandmaster?
Why did that term sound so niche?
Wait, now that he thought about it, Xin Wan'en was his mentor, and Ran Jingjing had taught Xin Wan'en.
If he were to really think about it, calling her a great-grandmaster wasn't an exaggeration.
Seeing Ye Yu's surprised expression, Xin Wan'en said seriously, "Didn't think of that, huh? Under her guidance, I've made great progress."
"Recently, if nothing unexpected happens, I might break through to the next small realm."
"All of this is thanks to Jingjing."
"If possible, can you treat her a bit better?"
"I've noticed that for the past six months, you've been praising her verbally, but when it comes to real °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° benefits, you haven't given her anything."
"This makes people think the Xin family is really stingy."
"I've prepared some nourishing heavenly materials and treasures. Can you take them to Jingjing? It's my gesture of appreciation."
Saying this, Xin Wan'en handed Ye Yu a storage ring.
Seeing this, Ye Yu instinctively started to refuse.
What a joke, how could he give such good things to someone else?
He should eat them himself; it would be better for both of them.
How could he hand them over so easily?
But Xin Wan'en insisted.
She said if Ye Yu didn't go, she would throw everything away.
A moment later, Ye Yu had no choice but to agree.
He had just communicated with the system.
If he gave these items back to Xin Wan'en, it would be a wasted operation, and wouldn't trigger his talent. This chapter was first seen on MV^LEM^PYR.
Since that was the case, Ye Yu didn't want to struggle anymore.
He arrived at Ran Jingjing's lodging door.
Looking at the storage ring in his hand, Ye Yu couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Has it really been a year since the promises were made?
And truth be told, Ran Jingjing really was dedicated; there was nothing to fault her for!
Maybe it's time to be a bit nicer to her?
Ye Yu slowly exhaled a breath.
Just as he was about to knock on the door,
The door opened automatically.
Ran Jingjing walked out and, upon confirming that Ye Yu was alone, excitedly said, "Senior, what brings you to my place today?"
Ye Yu raised the storage ring in his hand and said, "You've been working hard lately. Here, some things to help replenish your body."
Ran Jingjing took the storage ring and scanned it with her spiritual sense.
Although there wasn't anything particularly stunning in it,
She was still very excited.
She immediately said, "Thank you, Senior. This is the first time you've given me something."
The first time?
Oh, it seemed like it really was the first time.
Usually, it was just empty promises.
This made Ye Yu realize that Xin Wan'en was right.
Ever since he had persuaded Ran Jingjing to come over, she had been wholeheartedly dedicated.
But him? He didn't even know what she truly wanted.
A boss like this was truly a failure!
So, Ye Yu walked straight into the room and asked the question that had been on his mind.
Ran Jingjing, what do you want? Or rather, what do you want to do?
