Chapter 259 - 107: Meeting by Chance is Destined (6400)_3
The little girl raised an eyebrow, "Really nothing?"
"Really nothing," Chen Yan shook his head.
"Then, I’ll really eat for free, you have no requirements or conditions? After I finish eating, I’ll leave," the little girl said, looking at Chen Yan suspiciously.
Chen Yan nodded calmly, "I already said, it’s fate to meet a fellow cultivator. Since it’s fate, we become friends. Treating you to a meal is no big deal. After this meal, you can leave if you want, I won’t say a word."
Does he want something from her?
Chen Yan isn’t that foolish!
What’s the deal with this crazy little girl?
She is trapped in the mirror world, and can’t get out! If it weren’t for me coming here, she would have to endure solitude and loneliness all the time.
It’s rare to meet someone who can enter this world, talk with her, and be someone she can communicate with!
So, who actually needs who more?
Chen Yan’s mindset isn’t shallow, inviting someone for a meal and then making a request—that’s too petty.
Friendship needs to be built first! With friendship, you become friends... If your friend has some trouble, how can you just stand by and watch? How can you not lend a hand?
This meal cost Chen Yan over 40,000 Hong Kong Dollars, and he didn’t even blink, paying the bill happily himself! He didn’t even charge it to the room—which would have meant Chu Keqing had to pay in the end.
A chance with a Half-Step Venerable, Chen Yan would not give it away easily!
A Half-Step Venerable! In the Domain Realm, it’s equivalent to the top master below the forty-two Saint Positions in the world!
Simply put, ranking forty-third in the world!
Even if there are other masters in the Domain Realm who are stuck at Primordial Spirit Great Perfection—they’re also "tied" for forty-third in the world!
Not only did he treat her to a meal, Chen Yan also had the hotel staff buy several sets of girl’s clothes and deliver them. He left the clothes in the room and voluntarily stepped outside, wandering around for over an hour.
Making his room available, the little girl in the mirror world’s room took a shower and changed into clean clothes.
With the meal and clothes, the total cost was about 50,000 Hong Kong Dollars.
Chen Yan thought...this little girl hiding in the mirror world is not afraid of the "Good wealth is hard to give up" curse.
In the mirror world, even the thunder of the Heavenly Dao can’t reach her.
Not to mention the debt pursuit of the Heavenly Dao?
But the "Good wealth is hard to give up" curse is bilateral; we’ll see next month during the Heavenly Dao settlement, if they can’t get the girl, will they settle with me.
Chen Yan speculated, these settlements are like balancing the books.
The girl is in debt, and I am the payer.
If they can’t find the debtor, maybe the Heavenly Dao won’t come after me either?
In any case, let’s try it first. If it works, I can continue to support this Half-Step Venerable!
Of course, Chen Yan also left some leeway, with a 50,000 expense, he won’t spend any more on this little girl for the next month.
A 50,000 expense is just something that could give him a cold.
We’ll see during the next Heavenly Dao settlement if I’ll be cursed with this girl’s expenses.
We’ll take it from there.

After sitting in the hotel lobby of the mirror world for an hour, Chen Yan went upstairs to his room, knocked on the door, and waited a few minutes before entering.
As he walked in, the little girl was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, TVB was broadcasting a Hong Kong drama.
The little girl had taken a bath and was wearing the new clothes Chen Yan bought.
The originally dirty, stained face was now clear—Chen Yan sighed inwardly.
Her looks are average.
This girl’s appearance isn’t ugly, just that her nose is a bit flat, the distance between her eyes is a bit wide, and her forehead is slightly high.
Not ugly, but not really a pretty little loli either.
Just, okay.
Chen Yan walked over and sat next to the little girl, drinking a couple sips of water before slowly saying, "Fellow cultivator, have you thought about your future?"
The little girl turned her head to look at him, "Hmm?"
"Previously, your life here seemed a bit harsh, but that was because in the outside world you had no friends to support you. Now that we’ve met, I naturally want to help you out a bit," Chen Yan said.
The little girl became interested, "You... said you want to help me? How?"
"Well, I can’t promise much, but I can make sure you’re well taken care of in terms of food and shelter." Chen Yan smiled confidently, "To be honest, I have some wealth in the outside world.
Like today, I can find a safe place for you to stay, where you can live in the mirror world, and I can arrange your meals and provisions, then deliver them to your room.
This way, people outside won’t know, and it won’t alert the Heavenly Dao."
The little girl nodded thoughtfully, "It’s a good idea."
"Not only that! " Chen Yan continued, "Food and clothes are secondary. For us cultivators, these enjoyments aren’t that important."
The little girl muttered quietly, "Actually... they are quite important."
"..." Chen Yan looked at the little girl and continued to smile, "There’s one more important thing I might be able to help you with."
Saying this, Chen Yan deliberately paused, then slowly spat out two words, "Primordial Qi!"
The little girl’s eyes lit up!
