Human Emperor?

Ye Hua frowned slightly.

He was familiar with the name, but he did not expect that the Lord of the Human Emperor's Palace would come in person.

Hasn't the Emperor's Palace been closed for hundreds of years? Why would the Emperor suddenly descend the mountain?

The older brother and sister chatted for a long time until they were sore and dry-mouthed that they noticed Ye Hua had finished his medicine and was waiting with an empty bowl.

"Oh dear! Young man, I'm sorry, we got so engrossed in our conversation that we forgot about you!" The older brother hurriedly took the medicine bowl from Ye Hua's hands.

Ye Hua smiled nonchalantly, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm already very grateful that my elder brother and sister were willing to take me in, how could I dare to trouble my elder brother any further?"

"Young man, you're too kind. By the way, what's your name?"

“My name is…” Ye Hua paused, his eyes looking at the bed board, and said, “Wang Mu, Wang with three horizontal strokes, Mu as in wood.”

"So it's Brother Wang Mu. My name is Li Jing. I'm probably a few years older than you, so you can just call me Brother Jing," Li Jing said, patting his chest.

Ye Hua scratched his head, looking quite embarrassed, and said, "Brother Jing..."

"Hey! That's more like it! You focus on recovering! Your sister-in-law and I are outside, just call us if you need anything!" Li Jing grinned, "I've been in trouble before, and a cultivator surnamed Wang saved me back then. Now that I've saved you, it's like saving my past self, hahaha—"

Li Jing laughed heartily, and his laughter brought a smile to his wife's face as well.

"Really? Then it seems I'm truly destined to be with you, Big Brother and Big Sister." Ye Hua said, taking out two rings from his waist.

"Here you are, big brother and sister. This is just a small gift, please accept it!"

Li Jing took the ring and examined it curiously. "What is this?"

He didn't notice that the instant he took the ring, a dark shadow slipped down his arm and into his clothes.

Ye Hua explained, "This is a storage ring that can hold the space of a room. Consider it a gift from me to your older brother and sister."

Li Jing hurriedly said, "Oh! How can we accept something so valuable? Take it back quickly!"

"Oh, brother, don't refuse. This is just a small token of my appreciation, nothing to mention." Ye Hua pushed Li Jing's hand back and smiled at him, "I have plenty of things like this here! Look!"

As he spoke, Ye Hua pulled out a large bag of rings from somewhere, piling them up as if they were free.

When had Li Jing and his wife ever seen so many storage rings? They were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

"By the way, brother, can I ask you for a favor?"

"What's up?"

Ye Hua said, "I am penniless right now and urgently need some silver to make ends meet. As you know, things that we cultivators buy are very expensive, so I would like to ask you... to sell all these rings, is that alright?"

“This…” Li Jing and his wife exchanged a glance, looking somewhat hesitant.

Ye Hua readily agreed, "Of course, I won't let you do your work for nothing, brother. You buy these rings, and we'll split the money 70/30, I'll get 70% and you get 30%, how about that?"

Li Jing hesitated and asked, "This thing... must be very expensive, right? How much does one cost?"

Ye Hua held up five fingers, shook them, and said a number.

Li Jing was shocked. "It's worth that much?"

Ye Hua smiled helplessly, "If it weren't for the circumstances, I wouldn't be willing to sell these things. Brother, please help me sell them all?"

Li Jing's heart was pounding wildly.

He looked at the large bag of storage rings as if he were looking at a mountain of silver.

Finally, he swallowed hard, picked up the bag, and said firmly to Ye Hua, "Brother, don't worry, I guarantee I'll sell them all!"

Ye Hua smiled and replied, "Then I'll leave it to you, brother."

After saying that, Li Jing excitedly left the house with his wife.

Watching the two leave, Ye Hua's lips curled into a smile. "Sell them, sell as many as you can... How can I rebuild my Dead Soldiers Corps if I don't sell more?"
