High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

Jiang Yue'er closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling violently.

Tears streamed down her face, and she felt incredibly angry.

She hated this man, hated his domineering nature, hated his tyranny, and hated that he had brought her to this state.

But she hated herself even more, hated her powerlessness, hated that she had to comply with his humiliation.

Su Jie lowered his head and kissed away the tears at the corners of her eyes, his voice low and gentle: "Alright, now that we've met, why are you crying so excitedly? You know how much I care about you."

Jiang Yue'er bit her lip and remained silent.

She sneered inwardly. He wouldn't hurt her? He was already hurting her, in the cruelest way.

He destroyed not her body, but her dignity, her pride, and everything she had built up over dozens of eras.

However, she decided to endure it, otherwise everything would be over if he killed her. She would always have a chance to turn the tables.

Su Jie's hand slid from her shoulder to her waist, and with a gentle pull, he lifted her up.

Jiang Yue'er's body stiffened abruptly. She instinctively wanted to struggle, but in that instant, her reason held her back.

She couldn't struggle; she was his Daoist partner, and Daoist partners wouldn't react this way.

Her face flushed red, her heart pounded as if it would jump out of her chest, and her mind went blank.

The anger in her heart, the urge to tear his throat apart, was suppressed beneath a calm mask.

I was just acting. I am not Jiang Yue'er, I am Jiang Rou'er, I am his Daoist partner who loves him deeply. I am willing, I am doing this voluntarily.

This sentence kept repeating in her mind, as if she were brainwashing herself, or convincing herself not to resist.

However, she still couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart, and couldn't deceive herself.

Jiang Yue'er was pinned against a chaotic wall by Su Jie, her back was icy cold and her front was burning hot, leaving her in a dilemma.

Her hands were on his chest, her mind racing. She needed to calm down, or she really wouldn't be able to keep up the act.

"Wait...wait a minute." Her voice trembled, her fingers gripping his shirt tightly.

"Xuan...Xuan is still right there, are you going to let him keep an eye on him?"

Su Jie looked down at her flushed cheeks and evasive eyes, paused for a moment, and then smiled.

He released her, took a half step back, but didn't let her go. Instead, he pulled her into his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and spoke in a lazy tone:

"No wonder you were embarrassed just now, Rou'er. It turns out there was someone nearby. I was just overthinking it."

Jiang Yue'er leaned against his chest, closed her eyes, and let out a long sigh of relief.

She had temporarily passed this hurdle, but before she could even feel relieved, Su Jie's next actions left her completely stunned.

Su Jie didn't let go of her, but simply beckoned to Xuan: "Xuan, come here."

Xuan knelt on one knee before Su Jie, his voice hoarse yet submissive: "Master."

Su Jie took out a thousand top-grade cosmic crystals from the system space and tossed them casually.

Dark golden crystals piled up into a small mountain in the void, their dazzling light illuminating the entire void rift.

Su Jie calmly said, "Take this and get a VIP membership. Sign in, grind monsters, collect cosmic crystals, and then you can figure out what to do next, just don't waste your time."

Xuan's pupils contracted slightly, and he raised his head, a faint glimmer of light flashing in his empty eyes.

He lowered his head, accepted the thousand top-grade crystals with both hands, his voice still hoarse: "Yes, Master."

He immediately spent money on in-game purchases, and the light screen exploded with golden fireworks.

Supreme Membership Achieved.

The flight speed skyrocketed to 10,000 light-years per day, and the sensing range expanded to 30,000 light-years.

With the foundation of a ninth-tier supreme being, plus the extra three million constant power of a supreme member, he is invincible on this battlefield for the next hundred years, except for Su Jie.

With his newfound power after spending money, he could recoup his investment of a mere thousand top-grade cosmic crystals in less than ten years, so Su Jie felt comfortable letting him spend the money.

Xuan stood up, bowed deeply to Su Jie, then turned around, transformed into a dark golden sword light, and disappeared into the depths of the void.

Jiang Yue'er stood behind Su Jie, watching this scene, her eyes reddening.

It's heartbreaking. A thousand top-grade cosmic crystals were wasted by that trash Xuan.

That's ten times her entire fortune!

She has lived for dozens of eras and sat in the position of Dao Child of the Heavenly Maiden Temple for so long, only managing to save up a little over a hundred top-grade crystals through stinginess.

This man, however, casually gave his slaves a thousand coins. He didn't even blink.

She bit her lip, her heart churning with overwhelming emotions.

Shock, jealousy, greed, and resentment—she experienced them all.

She cooperated with Su Jie in the previous act because she was intimidated by his fighting power; she was forced, helpless, and had no choice but to submit.

But now, she truly believes it.

This man is truly incredibly wealthy.

He really does have hundreds of thousands of top-grade cosmic crystals; that's not an exaggeration.

She watched helplessly as Xuan took away the pile of top-grade crystals, and felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Those are all hers, they should all be hers.

She is his "Daoist partner," so why should he give so much to a slave?

She took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the greed and resentment that were about to overflow.

She lowered her eyes, her voice so soft it could melt water: "You...you're so generous to your subordinates..."

Su Jie turned around, glanced at her, reached out and ruffled her hair, his tone as casual as if he were coaxing a child:

"You are my Daoist partner, which is different. He will be my slave, and I will pay him wages. It's a fair trade."

Jiang Yue'er's heart skipped a beat.

Daoist partners are different.

She mentally went over those words several times, a slight smile playing on her lips, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.

Oh well, consider today as being bitten by a dog.

Since he's convinced she's Jiang Rou'er, she'll continue acting.

Would a master who is so generous to his slaves be stingy with his own partner?

Once she tricks him into helping her get a permanent membership and obtains the bonus of millions of constant power and full battlefield vision, then it's uncertain who will be the true king.

She buried her face in his chest, wrapped her arms around his waist, and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Then you can't be biased. I want some too."

Su Jie looked down at her, a slow smile spreading across his face, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

He reached out, grabbed her chin, forcing her to lift her head, his voice low and dangerous: "What do you want? Hmm?"

Jiang Yue'er's cheeks flushed, she bit her lip, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum: "...Eternal Membership."

Su Jie laughed heartily, kissed her forehead, and said in a doting tone:

"Alright, everything I have is yours, but there's no rush. Come on, let's do some things that couples in the Daoist realm should do first. I've been holding back for so long!"
