I'm Not Interested in Money!

I'm Not Interested in Money! Bai Yao was a young, beautiful girl with exceptionally fair skin. Two trails of tears ran down her face as she said, "Someone from the Church has infiltrated this place. Whether intentionally or not, I feel like I've been dragged into a terrifying war."

Chen Wang pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

He was thinking about whether Bai Yao's words were true, and at the same time, whether there was any use in keeping a female researcher by his side.

Chen Wang glanced at her and said flatly, "You've gotten involved in something this big. Aren't you afraid I'll sell you off because I'm scared?"

Bai Yao wiped away her tears. "I am afraid. But you're the only person I can trust now. I have no other choice."

Chen Wang smiled.

His greatest confidence came from nothing else but his ability to travel between two worlds. Though the cultivation world was just as dangerous as the Great Winter World, as long as he survived well between them, he could use their differences to rapidly raise his own strength.

Chen Wang found Bai Yao another place to stay. It was not in the Slum Area, and it was far more luxurious than the shabby apartment Bai Yao had lived in.

Bai Yao was somewhat surprised when she arrived.

The monthly rent for this house was at least ten times that of her old place. Both its security and supporting facilities were of the highest grade.

This was the kind of place only wealthy people in the Shelter could afford to live in.

Bai Yao said in surprise, "You're so young, yet you have so much money."

Chen Wang said calmly, "Money is just a number to me. I'm not interested in money."

Bai Yao suddenly raised her head, her eyes brimming with shock. The image of this young man became increasingly mysterious in her eyes.

Could he be some top talent raised by a major power?

Or the descendant of some Great Clan, disguising himself while undergoing a trial?

In an instant, Bai Yao was completely stunned by Chen Wang's words.

Chen Wang was quite satisfied as he watched her reaction.

That line was no ordinary display of arrogance. Even in the Winter Wasteland World, it was enough to shock people.

Sitting by the bed, Bai Yao suddenly said in a seductive tone, "Do you need me to sleep with you tonight?"

Chen Wang frowned. "Looking like you do right now?"

Bai Yao blushed. Though her face was smeared with filth, it could not conceal her bashful expression, and her eyes were exceptionally bright.

Bai Yao blushed and said softly, "Of course not. I can take a bath first."

Chen Wang said with distaste, "You really should take a bath."

Bai Yao blushed again. In this era, women admired powerful men, and their bodies were their greatest capital.

Back at the Morning Star Research Institute, there had been people who pursued Bai Yao, but at the time, she had devoted herself wholly to research.

Her usual image there had also been rather cold and aloof.

When she entered the bathroom and saw its furnishings, she was still somewhat surprised.

These truly were facilities only the rich could possess.

In the Great Winter World, water was an extremely scarce resource, and bathing was a luxury.

Even at the Morning Star Research Institute, she had used communal baths.

Yet the apartment Chen Wang had found had a spacious bathtub. The lighting in the bathroom was hazy, creating a rather enchanting atmosphere.

Who exactly is he? Why is he so rich? To actually live in such a luxurious place.

Bai Yao could not help but feel amazed.

She had just gone through something terrifying, but she had experienced even more terrifying things before. Thus, she quickly adjusted her mindset.

This man is very charming. I need to find a way to deepen our relationship.

Bai Yao shook her head and splashed some water over her face.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yao began washing her body. Steam filled the entire bathroom, and her lovely figure appeared and disappeared amid the mist. Her curves rose and fell in all the right places, her legs were long, and her lower belly was flat without a trace of excess flesh.

It was hard to imagine that such a slender girl had such an alluring figure.

Standing before the large mirror, Bai Yao looked at her graceful body and turned around once. "After drifting from place to place for so long, they actually haven't gotten smaller."

Bai Yao murmured softly.

She washed quickly but thoroughly. Wrapping herself in a bath towel, she walked outside. Only the towel covered her body, revealing her fair, slender legs. Her hair had just been dried, with a few droplets of water still clinging to it.

She was as radiant as a lotus rising from the water, breathtaking at first glance. In any era, she would have been an exceptionally beautiful woman.

Chen Wang sat with an imposing posture, a thoughtful look in his eyes. Bai Yao walked before him and slowly crouched down. From this angle, her figure was completely exposed. Her hand lightly rested on Chen Wang's firm thigh, her gaze seductive.

Chen Wang had encountered too much information today—the second-order ghost, the Night Wanderer.

It had left him deep in thought. He looked at Bai Yao, with her graceful figure and seductive face.

He said flatly, "Are you trying to seduce me?"

Bai Yao smiled charmingly. "You saved my life. I want to repay you."

Chen Wang's gaze slowly traveled down from her fair neck.

His brows rose. "Couldn't tell."

Bai Yao blushed, but Chen Wang was already getting to his feet. "I killed someone today. I'm not in the mood."

He stood and left, saying coldly, "This is only a transaction between us."

"And besides, surviving isn't that hard."

With that, he left.

Red Cloud Sect Market was bustling with voices. It possessed both the ethereal, otherworldly air of cultivators and the warmth of mortal life, the two blending together perfectly. Chen Wang, who had been wealthy, decisive, and ruthless in the Winter Wasteland World, had now reined in his sharpness. Apart from his handsome face, there was nothing about him that inspired fear.

His face was exceptionally clean, showing neither ambition nor sharpness, nor any murderous aura. With a Wind Riding Talisman tucked against his chest, he entered the Market to trade.

Ever since his physical condition had been greatly enhanced, especially after he injected the Second Order Genetic Potion, Eagle Eye,

his hands had become increasingly steady, and his eyes could see finer details than ordinary people could. When it came to drawing talismans, this meant greater concentration and a significantly improved success rate. After selling the Wind Riding Talisman this time, Chen Wang received three Spirit Stones in exchange.

In the Winter Wasteland World, Third Order Genetic Potions were exceptionally precious.

Just as Bai Yao had said, even if he joined one of the Three Great Powers, he would not be able to obtain one without sufficient merit and contributions. Even Second Order Genetic Potions were priceless and unavailable on the Black Market; they simply could not be bought. Otherwise, Chen Wang would have dearly liked to inject a few more Gene Serums.

Ordinary people living in the Great Winter World naturally did not dare inject themselves with serums so freely. Gene Serums themselves placed an enormous burden on the body, could destroy some bodily functions, and carried a certain amount of risk.

But Chen Wang was a cultivator. He could look inward at his own body and eliminate hidden injuries within it, so he had no such concerns.
