So Poor All I Have Left Is Money! Please Vote and Tip

"Feels amazing!"

By the time he had absorbed the Soul Bone and soul ring, dawn was already breaking the next day. Su Xian stretched lazily, feeling utterly refreshed, not the least bit tired despite having stayed up all night.

But now was time to sleep. If he did not go sleep with Qian Renxue—ah, pfft!

If he did not sleep with his wife, how could that possibly be okay!

After getting out of bed, Su Xian had barely stepped outside when the figure in the courtyard caught his attention.

Qian Renxue was lying facedown on the stone table in the courtyard, a thin shawl draped over her as she slept there.

"Why did this girl fall asleep out here? Wouldn't it have been better to wait for me obediently in her own room?"

Shaking his head, Su Xian's heart ached as he looked at Qian Renxue's stubbornly determined pretty face.

One good wife like this was enough!

Without waking her, Su Xian supported Qian Renxue beneath her knees and behind her back, then gently lifted her into his arms.

Qian Renxue's eyelashes fluttered slightly. Her arms lazily curled around Su Xian's neck. "I'm sleepy. Let's go to your room."

Her voice was barely audible, like the buzz of a mosquito. Qian Renxue seemed too exhausted to keep her eyes open; they only opened a sliver before closing again.

"Alright, to my room."

Without any improper thoughts, Su Xian smiled and nodded, then carried Qian Renxue into his room.

After placing her on the bed, Su Xian watched Qian Renxue curl up like a lazy kitten. He smiled softly, then lay down beside her and sweetly pulled her into his embrace.

She nudged her head around slightly, seemingly searching for a comfortable position. A satisfied smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face as she fell peacefully asleep.

Su Xian held her just like that, and in the blink of an eye, it was already noon.

"Mmm~"

Her nose twitched slightly. Qian Renxue rubbed her sleepy eyes, and the hazy darkness before her gradually dispersed, making everything clear again.

"This guy..."

The moment she woke up, she saw Su Xian holding her. Qian Renxue pursed her lips, her clear eyes brimming with amusement.

Cultivation had drained too much of her energy. She had not expected that, while waiting for him last night, she would end up falling asleep herself.

She only remembered a familiar figure appearing and carrying her back to the room. Perhaps because he was too familiar, because she relied on him too much, she had not resisted at all.

"It's already noon, and you're still not getting up. Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"

Mischievously pinching Su Xian's nose, Qian Renxue carefully tried to free herself from his arms.

"You're awake~"

Though her movements were gentle, they still woke the lightly sleeping Su Xian. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and then, amid Qian Renxue's cry of surprise, he hugged her again and pulled her back onto the bed.

"Don't be like this. It's already noon—we should get up quickly."

She pushed against him lightly, but she could not break free at all. Qian Renxue's face reddened as she looked at Su Xian helplessly.

"It's noon anyway. Let's lie down a little longer and wake up properly, sleepyhead."

Qian Renxue's waist was slender, soft as water, and smooth as silk. Su Xian could not help tightening his arms around her as he shamelessly acted spoiled.

Qian Renxue was utterly helpless inside and could only let him have his way, though a flower-like smile bloomed across her face.

Su Xian tickled Qian Renxue's waist and asked, "By the way, how is your absorption of the Immortal Herb going?"

"Stop messing around."

Her body twisted slightly. Qian Renxue laughed and rolled her eyes at Su Xian, but in an instant, her expression became excited and thrilled again.

"I cultivated according to the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and I really can cultivate Soul Power. Especially with the herb's help, my Soul Power has already increased by three levels."

"If I finish absorbing it all, I might be able to reach above level ten."

Qian Renxue's eyes shone brightly. The effects of the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone were even better than she had imagined. In particular, the improvement to her physique and the clearing of her meridians allowed her to control Soul Power more freely.

As for her Soul Power, even though she had absorbed less than half of it, she had already reached level 52. Once she absorbed it all, she would likely break through level 53.

"Then you'd better work hard. I'm already at level 37 Soul Power. Once I finish absorbing the Immortal Herb within me, I'll probably break through to level 40 soon."

The corners of Su Xian's mouth rose as he put on an arrogant look, but the more he spoke, the more bitter he felt inside.

It was bad enough that one's background mattered in his previous life, but damn it, background mattered even more in this world.

After absorbing a two-thousand-year soul ring and Soul Bone beyond his limits, as well as absorbing part of the Soul Power stored in the Immortal Herb when he hit the level 30 Soul Power bottleneck, he had only reached level 37 Soul Power.

And what about Qian Renxue?

They were both fourteen, yet she was already above level 50!

Being born with level 20 Soul Power was practically like having VIP cheats activated. Fortunately, the author had given him cheats too, or how was he supposed to survive!

Ahem... here, I would like to solemnly thank the author for his support. This award today is not only the result of my own hard work, but also...

Alright, enough nonsense. Back to the main topic!

Seeing Su Xian's smug expression, Qian Renxue secretly felt rather pleased as well. Following his words, she smiled and said, "I know you're amazing. No one else can compare."

"But... we really should get up now," Qian Renxue reminded him.

Su Xian shook his head. "You get up first."

"Then let go of me." Qian Renxue patted the arm wrapped around her and reminded him irritably.

"I'll let go once you get up," Su Xian replied with a straight face.

Qian Renxue: ...

Damn it!

How was she supposed to get up if he would not let go? So he just did not want to get out of bed after all!

Hmph! Lazy winter melon!

An hour later, Su Xian finally agreed to get up, thoroughly satisfied. As for what had happened in the meantime, in short... unsuitable for children, worse than beasts.

Readers!!

Write it properly, damn it! Do you think I can't afford a few measly book coins?!

Hurry up, make it happen!

It was already afternoon, and Su Xian did not intend to prepare an overly lavish lunch. He simply cooked some sweet porridge and the like, both refreshing and cooling in the summer heat.

Inside the garden pavilion.

The two were eating breakfast—no, lunch...

Qian Renxue's mannerisms were elegant, unhurried, and proper. She looked even more like an aristocrat than Su Xian.

As for Su Xian, he was currently chewing large mouthfuls of bread, occasionally taking a few sips of sweet porridge and some of the prepared cold dishes, looking utterly content.

Whenever Su Xian looked at Qian Renxue, his face was always full of smiles, as though everything about her pleased him. He muttered, "Come somewhere with me later."

"Where to?"

Qian Renxue was visibly taken aback. She had thought she had misheard, but seeing Su Xian looking at her as if discussing it with her, she hurriedly asked.

"Going to visit some relatives, and while we're at it, I'll introduce you to some people," Su Xian replied.

"Sure, but I'll need to make some preparations first."

Upon hearing the word relatives, Qian Renxue seemed to know where Su Xian was going. She agreed without the slightest hesitation.

"Just prepare a small gift. It doesn't need to be too expensive—the thought and practicality are what matter. My grandfather's family isn't short on money," Su Xian reminded her.

Qian Renxue nodded, then remembered that the residence was already bare to the bone. Somewhat helplessly, she replied, "Didn't you exchange everything in the residence for gold coins?"

Su Xian: ...

Wuwuwu~ Sure enough, they were so poor that all they had left was money!!
