Time Stopped for a Thousand Years! The Female Leads Have Darkened! - Chapter 45:

Chapter 45: Satiated and Waiting for the Fish to Bite:

Eating roasted meat and drinking fine wine… But that wasn’t enough!

Behind Ye Wuhen, a female cultivator was massaging his shoulders. Of course, this service was bought with yet another demon core.

The entire trial camp looked at Ye Wuhen with complex expressions.

Everyone thought he was a fool—a pampered young master used to a life of ease, unaware of the need to be cautious.

Yet, seeing him so relaxed and enjoying himself, many couldn’t help but feel envious, jealous, and resentful.

They were all there for the trial… Why did they have to fight so hard, not willing to waste a single point, while he spent his points so freely?

Some people started to plot, but others remained cautious.

After all, they couldn’t figure out how Ye Wuhen got so many demon cores. What if he really was a hidden expert?

“Young master… Aren’t you worried about not having enough points?” The girl massaging him asked sweetly, voicing everyone’s doubts. In an instant, countless ears perked up.

“Points? Oh… you mean demon cores?” Ye Wuhen smiled, pretending to let his guard down. “Haha, they’re not hard to get. As long as you have spirit stones, you can buy as many demon cores as you want.”

“I just bought over fifty demon cores from Zhang Chengzhi.”

“Once I’m done eating and drinking, I’ll go for the final trial!” Ye Wuhen spoke as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

The surrounding crowd was stunned, and their doubts were cleared in an instant. So, all his demon cores were bought!

Many were familiar with Zhang Chengzhi’s reputation and methods. Suddenly, everyone looked at Ye Wuhen with heated eyes. Clearly, they saw him as a wealthy fool, naive and inexperienced.

Ye Wuhen had revealed two crucial pieces of information:

First, he had at least fifty points left.

Second, he would soon go for the final trial, so if anyone wanted to act, they had to do it quickly.

Of course, they had no idea that these were precisely the clues Ye Wuhen wanted to share.

How else could he lure them into a trap and quickly gather the points he needed?

…

Ye Wuhen stood up, “Alright, I’m full. I’m heading to the final trial now.”

“Hehe, ladies… If we meet again, it’ll be in the Qingxuan Holy Land.”

He clasped his hands in farewell.

The crowd around him snickered inwardly. This fool really thought he could pass the final trial just by gathering demon cores.

Mu Qingqing and her team kept their thoughts to themselves but outwardly smiled and waved goodbye to Ye Wuhen, as if they were sending off a beloved friend. After all, he had given them three demon cores.

…

“Captain, we’ve eaten enough. Time to hunt some demon beasts!” As soon as Ye Wuhen left the trial camp, a voice called out from a small team.

The team of seven quickly left the camp.

“We should go too. The sooner we gather points, the sooner we can enter the Qingxuan Holy Land!” Another team followed suit.

Then a third… and a fourth…

Eventually, only Mu Qingqing’s team remained.

“Sister Qingqing, those teams must be up to something, right?” One of the female cultivators asked.

“Yes, Sister Qingqing, shouldn’t we join in the fun? That’s fifty points! We only need fifty more points!” Another added eagerly.

However, Mu Qingqing remained silent, her expression serious.
