Chen Ku's Gratitude, Yaochi Overjoyed!

Chen Ku's sudden expression of gratitude took Yaochi by surprise!

If it were anyone else, having gained over a dozen spiritual treasures, they would likely be beside themselves with glee. Who would even remember Yaochi's so-called guidance?

What's more, as attendants to Hongjun, no one ever paid Haotian and Yaochi any attention.

Today, Chen Ku was the first to thank her so earnestly.

For a moment, Yaochi was stunned, feeling somewhat at a loss.

"This... you're too kind, Fellow Daoist!"

"Your success is due to your own good fortune."

Yaochi replied with extreme politeness.

As she spoke, a blush crept onto her face, adding to her charming beauty.

Just then, Haotian, who was standing beside her, suddenly snorted and glared at Chen Ku with displeasure.

Clearly, he was also resentful of Chen Ku's astonishing gains.

At the same time, he was secretly blaming Yaochi.

If you hadn't pointed Chen Ku in the right direction, how could he have obtained such a bounty?!

Although he didn't turn around, Chen Ku was well aware of Haotian's reaction.

However, he ignored it completely.

He had stayed behind on purpose, and certainly not for a few empty words of thanks.

With a flip of his palm, two divine lights instantly appeared.

"These two spiritual treasures, one is a Top-Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, the Golden Hairpin of Chaos!"

"Once unleashed, it is unparalleled in attack, piercing through all things, unstoppable."

"The other is a Top-Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, the Nine-Colored Rainbow Dress, with astonishing defensive power, impervious to all spells."

"Please accept these two spiritual treasures, Yaochi, as a token of my gratitude."

Chen Ku said.

Having become Jie Yin's disciple, he naturally referred to himself as 'Poor Daoist,' just like Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.

However, as he spoke, he wore a faint smile, which gave Haotian the impression of a philanderer, making him even less fond of him.

At the same time, the Golden Hairpin of Chaos and the Nine-Colored Rainbow Dress revealed their true forms.

The former was incomparably sharp, its cold light gleaming, seeming to possess the power to pierce through all things.

The Nine-Colored Rainbow Dress, on the other hand, was iridescent and radiant, dazzlingly beautiful.

Vast swathes of Daoist runes flowed and surged, also demonstrating the unparalleled defensive power of this treasure.

As for Yaochi.

Seeing Chen Ku directly take out two spiritual treasures, both of which were Top-Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures, her heart couldn't help but leap.

As a woman, Yaochi naturally had a fondness for beauty.

Regardless of how amazing the power of these two treasures was, if they were to fall into Yaochi's hands, they would undoubtedly make her even more beautiful and graceful!

In addition, their top-notch offensive and defensive capabilities further increased their value.

It could be said that even if it were any other woman, they would probably find it difficult to resist such a temptation.

However, Yaochi quickly regained her senses.

"This... how could I possibly accept this?!"

"Fellow Daoist, these two treasures are too precious, Yaochi is ashamed to receive them!"

Yaochi repeatedly waved her hands in refusal, appearing flattered and alarmed.

She had pointed Chen Ku in the right direction earlier out of a little kindness in her heart and had not expected to receive such an astonishing reward from Chen Ku.

Moreover, although she had never traveled the Primordial World, she knew that Top-Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures were extremely precious.

Placed in the world, they would be enough to attract the competition of many powerful figures, even Quasi-Sages.

Therefore, even though Yaochi was incredibly tempted, she still maintained the proper clarity and rationality, and immediately declined.

Chen Ku's gratitude made her feel deeply unworthy!

But Chen Ku was determined, despite Yaochi's refusal.

"Haha, there's no need for you to refuse so vehemently, Yaochi!"

"These two spiritual treasures are suitable for women to use, and they wouldn't be of much use in Poor Daoist's hands."

"Moreover, repaying kindness is always Poor Daoist's principle of action."

As he spoke, Chen Ku struck a rather smug pose.

Chen Ku wasn't deliberately trying to be some kind of "do-gooder," nor was it because he had too many spiritual treasures.

He was simply trying to forge a good relationship.

Yaochi was often by Dao Ancestor Hongjun's side, and furthermore, after the demon race was destroyed, she would become the Celestial Court's Queen Mother.

Forming a good relationship with Yaochi could never be wrong.

Besides, as Chen Ku had said, the Golden Hairpin of Chaos and the Nine-Colored Rainbow Dress were inherently more suitable for women to control.

For Chen Ku, adding them to his collection and then gifting them to Yaochi was merely a convenient gesture.

Seeing Chen Ku's demeanor, Yaochi giggled, her body swaying with laughter.

Since he had already spoken to this point, she naturally couldn't refuse any longer, so she had to accept the two spiritual treasures Chen Ku gifted her.

"In that case, then I thank you, Fellow Daoist!"

At this moment, Yaochi's gaze toward Chen Ku became even gentler.

The reason she had pointed out the direction to Chen Ku earlier was because Yaochi had a slight fondness for him.

Receiving the "thanks" of two spiritual treasures deepened the fondness in Yaochi's heart even further.

More importantly, when facing Chen Ku's gift, Yaochi had thought that he was just being slightly polite, putting on a show.

After all, Yaochi had previously witnessed Chen Ku not hesitating to antagonize the Celestial Court in order to obtain opportunities.

And now, Chen Ku, who seemed to "value treasures as his life," was actually so generous, giving away two Innate Spiritual Treasures in one go.

This kind of shocking contrast made Yaochi's heart stir even more, and a strange light flickered in her beautiful eyes.

This scene also made Haotian, who was on the side, look at Chen Ku with a bright gaze.

You should know that both he and Yaochi were guarding the Treasure Distribution Rock.

Now that Chen Ku was giving treasures to Yaochi, would he also receive the same treatment?

At the thought of this, Haotian couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation in his gaze toward Chen Ku.

Who knew that after doing all this, Chen Ku just smiled at Yaochi and said:

"Everything is done, this Daoist will return to the Purple Cloud Palace first!"

Then, without even looking at Haotian, Chen Ku strode away and returned to the Purple Cloud Palace.

Leaving behind Haotian with a bewildered expression.

Coming back to his senses, he looked at Chen Ku's back, and couldn't help but feel jealous.

"Hmph, Yaochi is really lucky."

Haotian said this in a strange tone.

Hearing this, Yaochi was stunned, and then responded:

"Earlier, Brother Haotian wasn't blaming me for helping Fellow Daoist Chen Ku?!"

"Hehe, good causes will naturally bear good fruit!"

This sentence immediately left Haotian speechless.

Heart-wrenching!

Nakedly killing someone's heart!

Haotian's previous "lecture" to Yaochi was like a slap, hitting Haotian's own face hard.

In fact, how could he not know that it was because of his previous disregard for Chen Ku and his failure to offer assistance.

This was what earned Chen Ku's same disregard.

For a time, Haotian felt regret in his heart.

This kid really doesn't play by the rules.

After all, being in the Primordial World, Haotian had already seen that all beings put "interests first."

So-called promises, trust, and so on, were all worthless things in the Primordial World.

Moreover, Yaochi had only pointed out a direction earlier; if it were any other great power, they would definitely not have taken it to heart.

Let alone gifting two Top-Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures.

Who knew that Chen Ku would be so loyal and righteous.

It could be said that although he was thick-skinned, he was definitely not hypocritical.

Damn it... if he had known that Chen Ku was so "grateful for kindness" and had such amazing generosity.

How could he have stuck to those so-called rules?!

On the other side!

Chen Ku had already returned to the Purple Cloud Palace.

And at this moment, a familiar scene was unfolding.
