I am the Immortal Emperor, and I am VIP 50.

"I...I'm sorry," Wei Yuan said suddenly, his face pale, after an hour. "I need to rest for a bit. I can't condense spiritual energy for the time being."

"Huh? Is that all?" The customer to Wei Yuan's left pouted. "I haven't had enough yet, how come you're done?"

Another customer nodded in agreement, "Exactly, look at your friend. He's just a student from No. 2 Middle School, and he hasn't even changed his expression. Even though you're dealing with two people at once, you shouldn't be this exhausted, right?"

"Yeah, if you can't do it, just say so. What do you mean by 'take a break'?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan was momentarily at a loss for words to refute it.

He looked up at Zhou Yu, who was sitting opposite him, and was being very affectionate with Hua Xin. He was also full of confusion.

How come this dog doesn't look tired at all?

Although he was supposed to be dealing with two people at the same time, Wei Yuan actually just divided the spiritual energy he had condensed into two parts and then transferred them to the two people respectively.

Therefore, his energy expenditure was not much different from Zhou Yu's when he was only dealing with Hua Xin.

Even so, Wei Yuan's mental state was starting to give out. Even with the support of the High Center Method, and the high-intensity practice of the Returning to Truth Breathing Technique for an hour, plus consideration for the emotional well-being of the two guests, he couldn't hold on any longer.

In contrast, Zhou Yu...

This kid's face was all oily; he didn't look like he was practicing the Returning to Truth Breathing Technique at all.

How could his mental strength be that powerful?

Even Hua Xin found it a bit strange and asked Zhou Yu, "Aren't you tired?"

"Tired? What's there to be tired about!" Zhou Yu said with a straight face. "Only those who haven't contributed anything to Sister Hua would complain about being tired! Sister Hua and I are kindred spirits, I'm deeply impressed by your talent, and I'd give my life for you. How could I possibly complain about being tired?"

Hua Xin and her sisters were dumbfounded. Did they really have such a strong personal charm? She could even make Zhou Yu forget the fatigue of practicing the Returning to Truth Breathing Technique and wholeheartedly gather spiritual energy for her?

"I didn't realize," the customer to Wei Yuan's left said admiringly as he released him. "I thought all the students from No. 2 Middle School were rejects, but I didn't expect there to be a real man among them... Come here, little brother, I have something good for you..."

The guest to Wei Yuan's right also released him and waved to Zhou Yu, "Come here, little brother, I have some perfume you can smell~"

Wei Yuan: "???"

Zhou Yu grabbed Hua Xin's hand. "No way! My heart is set on Hua-jie. We're practically siblings, not even from the same father. She's my dearest friend, my own brother!"

Hua Xin was deeply moved, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

The beautiful woman to Wei Yuan's left pulled a short sword from her pocket and casually tossed it onto the table. "The latest magical weapon from Anti-Entropy Arms, worth two hundred thousand on the market. Come here and it's yours."

The beautiful woman to Wei Yuan's right also took out a jade bottle from her pocket and placed it on the table. "These are pills produced by the Anti-Entropy Immortal Medicine. Each one costs 30,000. There are ten of them here. Come here... these are yours."

Hua Xin sneered, "What are you two joking about? Do you think these things will break up my relationship with him...?"

Zhou Yu knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "From today onwards, the four of us are dearest family and friends, brothers and sisters!"

Wei Yuan: "..."

Hua Xin: "..."

Her two sisters: "Hahahaha~!"

Reaching out and grabbing Zhou Yu's collar, Hua Xin lifted him off the ground. "What do you mean?"

"My meaning is quite clear," Zhou Yu said calmly, "You are all my wings..."

Hua Xin was furious. "You think I won't kick you? Keep obediently channeling spiritual energy into me alone!"

After saying that, Hua Xin turned around and glared at the two of them. "He's mine! Which one of you will try to make a move?"

The two sisters pouted, "Fine, fine, what a fake sisterhood! It's all yours, all the good stuff is yours, and you get to give us all the bad stuff!"

Wei Yuan: "..."

No, when did I become the worse one?

He's from No. 2 Middle School, and I'm from No. 1 Middle School!

……

As she continued to absorb the spiritual energy Zhou Yu was transferring to her, Hua Xin felt increasingly uneasy.

The spiritual energy this kid condensed was too pure. Even the purest spiritual energy that Hua Xin had ever seen was not as pure as the spiritual energy condensed by Zhou Yu.

And the strangest thing is...

Hua Xin seems to be addicted.

The spiritual energy that Zhou Yu condensed was extremely pure and had a strong dependency.

Before this, Zhou Yu had never tried to transfer his spiritual energy to others, so he was unaware of this matter. However, as the person involved, Hua Xin had gradually come to experience this addictive feeling.

The spiritual energy that Zhou Yu delivers is cyclical; it can only be delivered after one complete cycle of the cycle.

Now, Zhou Yu can run the Lv6 Returning to Truth Breathing Technique for about thirty cycles in an hour, which is equivalent to transporting spiritual energy once every two minutes.

At first, it was fine. Hua Xin felt the spiritual energy being transported over, and before that refreshing feeling had even ended, the next batch of spiritual energy arrived.

However, as time goes on and the number of times spiritual energy is infused increases, the duration of this feeling becomes shorter and shorter.

So much so that two minutes is no longer enough for Hua Xin.

"Huff... Hah... Huff... Hah..."

Hua Xin's breathing became slightly rapid. She wiped her lips and asked, "Can you condense your spiritual energy any faster?"

Zhou Yu glanced at him sideways and said, "Sure, but it'll cost extra."

"How much?"

Zhou Yu glanced at his panel and saw that upgrading the Returning to Truth Breathing Technique from Lv6 to Lv7 would require a full 500,000.

"It will cost 700,000."

"What?!" Hua Xin's eyes cleared. "How much?"

Zhou Yu hesitated for a second, "I just applied for a discount for you, now it's only 600,000..."

Although Hua Xin is indeed not short of money, it's not like she would spend all of her 600,000 yuan on tips for her temporary Daoist partner.

Moreover, as soon as the number was announced, Hua Xin, who was still somewhat immersed in this feeling, suddenly sobered up and abruptly removed the instrument from her hand.

Hua Xin stood up from the sofa, her face slightly flushed, and the back of her clothes were faintly damp with sweat.

"Wh...what's wrong?" Wei Yuan asked hurriedly, not knowing what had happened.

"No, it's nothing," Hua Xin shook her head, glanced at Zhou Yu, and then said, "I'm going out for some fresh air."

After saying that, she fled the private room as if she were escaping a disaster.

Too dangerous!

Hua Xin touched her chest; her heart was pounding, and oxytocin was being released rapidly, affecting her emotions and mindset.

Zhou Yu's spiritual energy was of an extremely terrifying purity; it was even addictive once one came into contact with it. This...

This is practically ice!

Watching Hua Xin flee the private room as if escaping a disaster, Zhou Yu, now with some free time, exchanged glances with the three people sitting on the opposite sofa.

"W-what are you doing?"

Zhou Yu blinked.

"Does what we just said still stand?"

The three people: "..."
