The Daughter of Destiny Turns Out to Be a Gold Digger!
Wu Xixue had descended to the lower realm. To be honest, Chen Anlin wasn't quite sure how she managed to do that. He had written some letters for her to take along, some addressed to friends and others to his wife.
In addition, Wu Xixue mentioned that after this trip, she would be heading to a secret realm and wouldn't return for a while—she estimated about half a year. So, during this time, he would have to rely on himself and hoped he could cultivate well.
As he watched Wu Xixue leave, a sense of emptiness settled in his heart. Chen Anlin sighed and shook his head. However, it was probably for the best; he planned to find a beautiful girl soon. But first, he needed to improve his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment stage.
With that thought in mind, he took a Foundation Establishment Pill and entered a training room to officially begin his cultivation.
A few days later, Chen Anlin emerged from the training room with a joyful expression on his face. He had successfully established his foundation ahead of schedule!
With the establishment of his foundation, he felt the spiritual energy within him surge like the overflowing Yellow River—unstoppable and powerful. It was an incredibly strong sensation; those who had never experienced it could hardly fathom the exhilarating power it brought.
As he celebrated his success, word spread somehow, and many people came to visit him. Some brought pills as gifts, others brought talismans, while most offered medicinal herbs.
"Congratulations, Brother Chen, on successfully establishing your foundation! I believe the Snow Saintess will be very pleased!"
The Snow Saintess held deep affection for Brother Chen; she would surely be delighted by this news.
"Yes, congratulations, Brother Chen!"
As he listened to their flattery, Chen Anlin felt a wave of boredom wash over him. He knew very well that these people were not genuinely congratulating him; they were merely trying to curry favor with Wu Xixue through him. If Wu Xixue had no connection to him, these people wouldn’t even bother to acknowledge him.
Although he understood their insincerity, adhering to the principle that gifts are innocent, Chen Anlin accepted their offerings graciously and pretended to invite them out for a meal. However, they all claimed to be too busy and left one by one.
Especially the female cultivators—they all seemed to avoid him.
“Am I really that terrifying?” he muttered angrily as he sent off the last visitor.
Just then, a soft and sweet voice came from outside.
“Senior Brother Chen! Senior Sister Yang sent me here with a congratulatory gift! She said she just learned about your advancement in establishing your foundation and came to celebrate with you.”
Chen Anlin stepped into the courtyard and saw a pure and beautiful female disciple standing there.
Holding a delicate wooden box in her hand, it was clear that this was the gift. The young female cultivator was an outer sect disciple whom Chen Anlin had never seen before. The "Senior Sister Yang" she mentioned was named Yang Lin.
They had met a few times before; she always appeared friendly but never engaged him in conversation. Even this time, she had sent a junior sister to deliver the gift, which felt rather dismissive. Chen Anlin felt a surge of anger and vowed that once he gained power and became stronger, he would pay special attention to Yang Lin, making sure she knew that he, Chen Anlin, held grudges!
As his gaze shifted while assessing the innocent-looking junior sister, Chen Anlin's heart stirred. There was an unusual glow emanating from the top of her head. She was actually the Daughter of Fortune!
Seeing this, Chen Anlin's spirits lifted immediately. Good, good, good! He had decided to befriend this girl! Normally, he would deal with those who bore hostility towards him, but for this girl, he wanted to see how things unfolded. It was similar to his previous encounter with Tang Liu, another child of fortune; if he could win her over, it would be for the best and beneficial for him.
With that thought in mind, Chen Anlin began to check the information on this female disciple.
【Daughter of Fortune: Yao Yao, Fortune Value: .】
【Detection revealed a special ability: Immortal Phoenix Body!!】
Chen Anlin was taken aback. She possessed the Immortal Phoenix Body!
For a moment, he stared at Yang Lin in astonishment; his eyes reflected not only disbelief but also excitement. This physique granted one the ability to be immortal and indestructible. He had read about it in ancient texts—those with such a physique would be reborn as long as they maintained a strong will. Each time they died, they would grow stronger. Moreover, the more they suffered, the faster their cultivation speed.
When Chen Anlin learned about this physique, he couldn't help but feel elated. This was simply a physique that thrived on suffering! He never expected that one day he would encounter a girl with such a remarkable trait.
"Senior Brother? Senior Brother?" Yao Yao noticed Chen Anlin's gaze lingering on her, making her feel somewhat uneasy as if she were being exposed.
"Oh, it's nothing. Thank you for your senior sister," Chen Anlin smiled at Yao Yao.
In her heart, Yao Yao thought about how this person was rumored to be Wu Xixue's man and must be quite wealthy; why hadn’t he given her any rewards? Typically, when junior disciples ran errands for their seniors, they would receive some form of compensation.
So she decided to drop a hint: "Senior Brother, this—"
To her surprise, before she could finish her sentence, Chen Anlin laughed and said, "Look at me; I almost forgot to give you a reward! Here you go."
He generously handed her a spirit stone. These were all gifts from Wu Xixue after he joined the sect.
Yao Yao was instantly delighted, feeling as if she had encountered a wealthy patron. In the days that followed, Chen Anlin secretly inquired about everything related to Yao Yao. He learned that her reputation within the sect was not very good; she accepted the pursuit of several men but would quickly kick them aside. As for the gifts she received, she naturally never returned them. Why would she return gifts earned through her own charm?
However, she always maintained a pitiful demeanor that made people grit their teeth in frustration, yet they were helpless against her. Upon learning all this, Chen Anlin couldn't help but chuckle; it turned out she was just a gold digger.
One day, after Yao Yao had kicked another male disciple to the curb, she pondered where to go next to reel in a few more rich suitors. Suddenly, she spotted Chen Anlin and happily approached him to greet him.
"Hey, isn't this Junior Sister Yao Yao?" Chen Anlin feigned surprise. "Junior Sister, just the person I was looking for! I need some help cleaning up my place."
"Cleaning? I can do that!" Yao Yao exclaimed with joy. The last time Chen Anlin had shown his generosity left a deep impression on her. Other male disciples would fuss over spending ten or twenty spirit stones on gifts, but when it came to Chen Anlin, he casually handed out spirit stones without a second thought.
Sticking with him would surely mean living a life of luxury.
Thus, Yao Yao followed Chen Anlin to his courtyard, where he proposed a long-term arrangement: for every cleaning session, he would pay her ten spirit stones. Yao Yao was so excited she nearly fainted. As an outer sect disciple, she only earned a meager six spirit stones each month.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen! I promise I will do my best!" Yao Yao nodded vigorously.
Chen Anlin smiled and asked, "Yao Yao, do you want to earn even more?"
Naturally, Yao Yao nodded eagerly but suddenly felt the need to play it cool and shook her head instead. "I do want to earn more, but my master said everything should be achieved through hard work."
He chuckled inwardly; clearly, she was just a gold digger putting on an act. If one didn't know better, they might think she was genuinely innocent.
