Chapter 1640: Chapter 700: Di Shen, Please Support Me

Just as Ye Lingyue entered the main tent, Long Baobao had been secretly observing her every move.

He didn’t miss the moment when Alliance Leader Ning mentioned twenty thousand merit points, and Ling Yue’s face paled.

Although Ling Yue was born in Lonely Moon Sea, Lonely Moon Sea was not well-known in Ancient Nine Provinces.

For her to rise from a novice demon hunter to become the City Lord of Huangquan City, participate in the Jiu Provinces Hunting, and then become the leader of a fourth-tier representative team, was already quite incredible.

She definitely didn’t have that many merit points on hand.

Despite not participating in demon hunting, Long Baobao was a Fang Venerate of the Jiu Provinces Alliance. He often helped demon hunters with Artifact Refining and Alchemy, accumulating quite a lot of merit points.

Ye Lingyue glanced, and Long Baobao’s Jiu Provinces Card was a gold card.

"Baobao, I can’t possibly accept your card, I’ll come up with a way to solve the merit points issue myself."

Ye Lingyue didn’t take the card from Long Baobao.

Long Baobao felt a bit disappointed; he understood that Ye Lingyue always regarded him as an outsider.

If it were Di Shen, Ling Yue would surely accept it without hesitation.

Long Baobao, disappointed, put away his card.

"It’s getting late; I’ll head back to the camp to inform everyone of Alliance Leader Ning’s decision and come visit you another day."

Ye Lingyue stood up to bid farewell to Long Baobao.

Long Baobao watched Di Shen and Ye Lingyue leave.

He was silent for a long time, and Little Corpse leaped onto Long Baobao’s shoulder, patting its master’s shoulder with its claws.

"Master, let it go."

After leaving Long Baobao’s camp, Ye Lingyue inquired about the location of Huangquan Team’s camp and wandered around the Jiu Provinces Main Camp.

As she walked, she pondered.

Twenty thousand merit points — that really was a significant amount, not to mention the ten thousand merit points owed on the soon-to-expire Jiu Provinces Black Diamond Card; she was truly deep in debt.

Although the facilities in the Jiu Provinces Main Camp were comprehensive, it wasn’t Wanxiang City with venues like the Exotic Treasure Pavilion for directly acquiring merit points.

Ye Lingyue felt a bit regretful that she should’ve accepted Long Baobao’s Jiu Provinces Card earlier; how could she gather so many merit points in a short time?

As she walked, someone appeared ahead.

"Ling Yue, is it really you?"

Ye Lingyue looked up and saw Fifth Sister Wuyue smiling warmly and standing in front.

"Fifth Sister, why are you here?" Ye Lingyue genuinely liked Di Shen’s senior sister.

Wuyue was beautiful, well-tempered, and much better than Qin Xiaochuan when it came to handling things.

She was only a few years older than Ye Lingyue, and back in Lonely Moon Sea, when Di Shen was younger, Wuyue had often helped Ye Lingyue.

"I heard from Di Shen that you went to the main tent, but you didn’t return for a long time, so I volunteered to find you. How’s the matter with the Senluo Fruit Ghost King? Did Alliance Leader Ning give you a hard time?"

Wuyue held Ye Lingyue’s hand, inquiring.

"There was no trouble, and punishment was waived. However, the merit points are a bit tricky."

Ye Lingyue had no reason to hide from Wuyue, so she briefly explained the debts she had incurred at Senluo Wanxiang City, which would soon necessitate an additional penalty of ten thousand merit points.

Wuyue listened, and instead of worrying, she laughed.

"I say, Ling Yue, you’ve always been clever, how could you be so stubborn this time? Let me ask you, what are you to me?"

Ye Lingyue hesitated, not understanding what Wuyue meant.

"My good sister-in-law, you’re my Sixth Sister-in-law, and that’s not just a casual title. You’ve no merit points, but doesn’t Sixth Brother have them? If the merit points aren’t enough, go ask Sixth Brother for some; what’s his is yours, just go ask him."

Wuyue giggled.

She saw Di Shen nearly spoiling Ling Yue to the heavens, ready to give her his heart. Yet, Ye Lingyue couldn’t grasp this simple logic.

Di Shen was the absolute main force of the Wuling Team; more than eighty percent of the demon beasts were hunted by Di Shen.

The Wuling City Lord was generous, only taking fifty percent of the merit points each time Di Shen completed a demon hunting task.

Di Shen was different from others on the Wuling Team; he had an independent Jiu Provinces Card that he could use entirely at his discretion.

Ye Lingyue heard this and blushed a bit.

"Fifth Sister, the merit points were earned by Di Shen himself; how can I just take them?"

"Oh, Sixth Sister-in-law, you two really are treating each other separately? I’ve heard from a few sister-in-laws: if men hold extra money, they’ll either squander it or spend it on other vixens."

Wuyue pouted; she grew up at Wuya Peak, where the senior brothers were all honest, and whatever Spirit Stones or Spiritual Artifacts were all confiscated and submitted.

The sister-in-laws often educated that to conquer a man, women must grasp two things tightly: one being a man’s stomach, the other being a man’s storage bag.

"But... Di Shen and I aren’t married, how can we be compared to the sister-in-laws and senior brothers?"

Ye Lingyue was embarrassed.

It was known that spouses shared everything.

Whether it was her mother Nie Fengxing or her parents Lan Cai’er, they both had firm control over stepfather and foster father’s finances.

"Haven’t you and Di Shen already slept together? How can you not be a couple? Or haven’t you two...?"

Wuyue widened her eyes; she distinctly remembered a time she was sent by the master early in the morning to find Sixth Brother, and she found him coming out of Sixth Sister-in-law’s room.

She had thought that Ye Lingyue and Di Shen had already crossed that boundary, but it turns out... they hadn’t.

"Fifth Sister, why are you as loose-tongued as Fourth Brother? Sleeping together doesn’t mean we’re a couple."

Ye Lingyue scolded, internally cursing Di Shen a hundred times; that guy was indecent, always causing trouble and climbing her bed.

"Sleeping together doesn’t count as being a couple, then what does that count as...?"

Wuyue laughed non-stop; suddenly, she seemed to remember something, her face reddened, and she fell silent, thinking about that night with Chi Ye.

That damned red-haired baboon, that lecherous fool; next time she’d meet him, she’d definitely cut him, rendering him impotent.

No wait, who wants to meet him again.

Wuyue gritting her teeth, her expression odd in Ye Lingyue’s eyes.

Wuyue’s words hit a nerve with Ye Lingyue.

Asking Di Shen was indeed the most convenient way, but how should she broach the subject?

Seeing Ye Lingyue distressed, her face scrunched like a bitter melon, Wuyue couldn’t hold back.

"Trust me, ask Di Shen; it’s the best way—worry-free, effortless, and you won’t have to pay back."

Wuyue urged earnestly.

"But, it’s hard to bring up."

Ye Lingyue hesitated.

"What’s hard about it? Let me tell you, you just need to do it like this..."

Wuyue whispered a few words in Ye Lingyue’s ear, and as Ye Lingyue listened, her face alternated between red and white. The two whispered for a full fifteen minutes.
