Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 744

Chapter 744: Not Blindly Being Compassionate

Everyone’s conditions stabilized, and everything returned to a sense of calm as they sat down to concentrate on healing themselves and restoring their spiritual power.

"One hundred high-grade spirit stones for one pill," Dongfang Moqing stated.

"One hundred high-grade spirit stones for each pill," Huang Bai Xing added.

Everyone praised them for being too kind: "......."

"These fifty healing pills are free from me," said Ji Fulin.

Everyone looked at the prince of the Ji clan with gratitude.

-------------

"Why don’t you tell them that those fifty healing pills belonged to you?" Dongfang Moqing asked the slender figure who was reading a book in her room, lying on the bed.

"Why should I?" Shenlian Yingyue smiled. She had endless supplies and precious herbal plants in her small world; it didn’t cost her anything to make the pills and give them away for free.

"You missed the chance to earn spirit stones," Ji Fulin raised an eyebrow.

"Do you have the heart to let them pay when they’ve lost everything?" Shenlian Yingyue glanced at him as if she were looking at a great villain.

"What kind of eyes are those?" Ji Fulin frowned, feeling dissatisfied with her expression.

She shook her head helplessly. Why did she feel like this man’s temper was that of a spoiled, short-tempered child?

In fact, she knew that he had also helped a lot. When she entered her room, Ji Fulin had provided everyone with fresh water to drink.

She didn’t have to ask where he got the fresh water from. Others might think he obtained it from his storage space, but she knew he had a portable space.

Although the spiritual energy from that ’fresh water’ was too faint to be perceived, she, being familiar with the spiritual aura of Spiritual Water, knew that it wasn’t just normal fresh water.

She didn’t know what method he used to turn the Spiritual Water into normal fresh water that could hide from people’s eyes, but she didn’t expose his secret.

"I’m just asking! Even if they can’t pay now, it would be good to make them feel grateful to you. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this unpredictable world," Ji Fulin said, criticizing her kindness. Being kind is good, but being too kind is not good at all.

His words reminded her of the moment when she saved people’s lives but ended up being accused of betraying the sect and working for demons.

Extend your kindness, but keep your eyes open; generosity shouldn’t invite exploitation

"You’re very kind," Dongfang Moqing said as he sat beside her, smiling lightly.

"I don’t help them for free. Aren’t you being kind too?" she smiled back. It was rare for this man, who never engaged in a losing business, to give away so many precious pills for such a cheap price.

Dongfang Moqing turned his face to look out the window and didn’t respond to her question.

Huang Bai Xing completely ignored everyone’s conversation.

The pills that Dongfang Moqing and Huang Bai Xing had given them cost more than fifty best-grade spirit stones, yet they sold them at such a low price.

(1 best-grade spirit stone = 100 high-grade spirit stones)

Until the moment Ji Fulin took out that ’fresh water’ to give to people, she was 100% sure that he had a portable space.

So, it was easy to guess that he had put Jun Mu Jin inside. She felt incredible about how deep his love for her was, that he was willing to trust Jun Mu Jin and expose his portable space to her.

"Come closer," Ji Fulin, unaware of her clever deduction, maintained a mysterious expression to lure her into asking questions.

Shenlian Yingyue leaned in closer and closer until her face was near his.

Ji Fulin, who was about to tease her, was stunned when he caught a whiff of the floral fragrance emanating from her body. A few strands of her soft hair brushed against his face when a breeze blew out of nowhere.

He got to see her beautiful face up close. It was so perfect and flawless. Why hadn’t he noticed her perfection before? This woman’s beauty might not be the most beautiful in the world, but at that moment, he had the feeling that everything he had seen before was just an illusion created by her.

Huang Bai Xing’s eyes were deep, while Dongfang Moqing took out a book to read leisurely, as if nothing had happened; however, his divine sense remained attentive to her every move.

"I’m curious, but I would rather stay curious." Just as the atmosphere grew ambiguous, Shenlian Yingyue pulled her face away and whispered in his ear.

When he turned to look at her, she had already moved far away from him, as if he were a repulsive beast.

Ji Fulin: "..."

Was he really that disgusting?

"Bei Yueyue, what do you mean?" Ji Fulin’s expression darkened.

"It means what it means." She shrugged her shoulders. Hell no, she didn’t want to get closer to him, let alone uncover his secrets.
