Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 772: This may take time

The Celestial Jade Lion, abruptly kicked, felt completely baffled.

In recent times, it had worked tirelessly and carefully, generating three Premium Spirit Jades daily with assured standard and output.

Even though... each Premium Spirit Jade it created would inexplicably disappear, it paid little attention, figuring it was a technique from that enigmatic cultivator.

After all, that cultivator hadn't shown up for quite a while, so this routine offering approach seemed perfectly acceptable.

For instance, it had already offered today's share.

Thus, it settled into the coziest spot for a peaceful nap, hardly anticipating that anyone would have the audacity to boot its rear! Absolutely intolerable. Not even that elusive Sword Cultivator had ever struck its dignified rear. Today, it would...

The Celestial Jade Lion's action of whipping around and exposing its teeth halted abruptly.

Those furious red eyes suddenly regained clarity.

"Awoo?"

It flopped down next to Chen Huaian's feet, appearing meek and tame.

A juvenile voice echoed within Chen Huaian's thoughts.

"Boss, what wind blew you here? Got any orders?"

Chen Huaian's lips quirked oddly, struggling to picture the Celestial Jade Lion employing such a youthful tone in that sycophantic manner—like a head eunuch groveling in the emperor's court.

"The Premium Spirit Jades? So many days gone by, and not one has shown up?"

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Jade Lion stared at Chen Huaian in utter shock.

How could it fail to produce them!?

It made them without fail each day!

Chen Huaian, catching the Celestial Jade Lion's mental ramblings, felt a touch of surprise himself.

Mental ramblings rarely involve deception.

These are, after all, genuine sentiments from deep inside.

Who fabricates tales within their own mind?

So... what happened to those Premium Spirit Jades?

"Where did you stash the spirit jades you've made? Bring them to This Venerable One now!"

The Celestial Jade Lion cast a wary look at Chen Huaian and muttered, "Answering our lord, I create three Premium Spirit Jades each day, then set them down. Pretty much within an hour, those three Premium Spirit Jades vanish... It looks like the world absorbs them. I figured it was your arrangement."

Premium Spirit Jades, being elite resources of exceptional purity, don't typically get drawn in by the world that swiftly under regular conditions.

Therefore, it had long assumed Chen Huaian was nurturing the world and intended to nourish it with Premium Spirit Jades.

"Absorbed by the world?" Chen Huaian scowled.

Ridiculous!

Treasures like Premium Spirit Jades, and now the world dares to snatch them right from under him?

A thought crossed his mind. His Great Ascension Stage Divine Sense unfurled like a surging flood. He distinctly detected incredibly rich Spiritual Energy clustered near the Celestial Jade Lion. This power clearly stemmed from Premium Spirit Jades, yet not a trace of any Premium Spirit Jade lingered by the Celestial Jade Lion.

This Celestial Jade Lion spoke the truth.

The Premium Spirit Jades had genuinely been taken in by this realm!

"Tch! This poses a real hassle." Chen Huaian inspected his storage pouch. Four Premium Spirit Jades lingered within, the earlier gifts from the Celestial Jade Lion.

He addressed the Celestial Jade Lion, "Starting immediately, don't let Premium Spirit Jades just sit exposed. Gather them securely and hold them until This Venerable One collects them... You mentioned producing some Premium Spirit Jades today already? Could you whip up a couple more?"

The Celestial Jade Lion appeared distressed.

Boosting output on the spot... this loyal beast struggles with that.

It's akin to someone who usually relieves themselves once daily, yet being pressed to manage five times.

Not out of the question, as long as intake suffices. Without it, they'd be passing nothing but wind.

Chen Huaian, overhearing the Celestial Jade Lion's inner grumblings, went quiet briefly. Then he pulled out a bunch of top-grade spirit jades, narrowing his gaze as he inquired, "If I give you these to consume, can you craft Premium Spirit Jades for This Venerable One?"

The Celestial Jade Lion eyed the top-grade spirit jades in Chen Huaian's grasp, reluctant to voice its thoughts, merely complaining silently—this resembles feeding table scraps to a mutt; it barely breaks even!

Chen Huaian: "..."

His irritation ignited.

He lifted his arm, and a huge shadow loomed over the puzzled Celestial Jade Lion.

A vast heap of raw spirit jade ore materialized in Chen Huaian's palm.

"Devour it! Hungry for more? Gorge yourself! Revel in it!" Chen Huaian smirked and hurled the full ore mound toward the Celestial Jade Lion.

Boom—!

"Sufficient now?!"

Chen Huaian picked up on a wave of thrilled feelings in the Celestial Jade Lion's mind.

—Gratitude, master, for stuffing my tiny belly with this enormous ore mountain.

Chen Huaian: "..."

Hmph, certain creatures simply invite trouble.

He remained seated, biding his time for an hour. It wasn't until the Celestial Jade Lion yielded two Premium Spirit Jades that he exhaled in relief. At the very least, with him overseeing, these supreme resources—which crystallized on the Celestial Jade Lion's back resembling stalactites—didn't dissolve into nothingness.

Gathering six Premium Spirit Jades in total, he promptly acquired the Sacred Soul Pill.

Simultaneously, he sternly reminded the Celestial Jade Lion to safeguard any Premium Spirit Jades it generated.

Should he return next time to discover none again, it wouldn't end with just stuffing a little belly via a large ore mountain...

As he departed the rear hills, Chen Huaian made sure to probe the nearby area. Finding zilch, he couldn't suppress a chilly huff, "This realm is sly indeed, boldly seizing This Venerable One's assets while my back's turned? But now that This Venerable One has caught on, it won't be smooth sailing anymore!"

With those words, he utilized the six Premium Spirit Jades to buy the Canglan World First Purchase Grand Gift Pack.

[Gift pack purchase completed! Production of the gift pack underway, delivery to your Electronic Girlfriend imminent. This may take some time!]

A grin tugged at Chen Huaian's lip: "Hehehe! Innate maximum Battle Power—that ought to qualify as an elite talent in that realm, no? The Suxian Sword Battle Soul stirs to life in the Canglan Realm within three days. My dear disciple won't she be able to strut unchallenged across the Canglan Realm?"

With that in mind, Chen Huaian glanced once more at Li Qingran's status.

Skipping the check was one thing, but viewing it almost sent him into a rage.

The temporal flow in the Canglan Realm evidently diverged yet again from the Cangyun Realm. Merely one hour elapsed in the Cangyun Realm, while a complete day had ticked by in the Canglan Realm.

He observed that Li Qingran, previously among the Flame Boar Family, had already departed. She had led Yang Fei to an isolated spot in Battle Soul City, secured a haphazard dwelling, and now brewed remedies in a adjacent chamber of the home. Yang Fei, meanwhile, reclined on a divan in the main room, now and then emitting a pained hack.

Chen Huaian's expression soured. He realized numerous events must have unfolded in the Canglan Realm amid his oversight.

He scanned about and spotted a replay feature in the mirror's top right, plus an Electronic Girlfriend record to peruse.

Merging both, he swiftly grasped the full sequence.

"You wretched Flame Boar Family! Treacherous curs turning on their benefactor!!" Chen Huaian squinted sharply.

Though a Battle Soul Pill paled beside a Sacred Soul Pill.

For Li Qingran right now, it truly signified a precious kindness, and beyond that, it embodied Yang Fei's boundless motherly affection.

Losing the Battle Soul Pill was trivial, but the disgrace endured by Yang Fei and Li Qingran over it was grave.

How could Chen Sword Master's spouse endure such shame?

Chen Huaian resumed feverishly scanning the mirror face, hunting for concealed premium purchase paths.

[Sacred Soul Pill production in progress. Projected duration: three hours!]

[Care to expend 88 top-grade spirit jades to hasten the manufacturing?]

Spotting this abrupt premium prompt, Chen Huaian's sight blurred in fury.

What in blazes?

No more facade, huh?!
