Chapter 104: Chapter 104

After Ye Yu left the Bu family, he didn’t hurry back to the Azure Cloud Sect.

Instead, he summoned the spirit boat that Li Ruowang had given him and lay down inside.

He couldn’t figure out why, but every time he simulated lately, he ended up disappointed.

His luck was truly abysmal.

However, Ye Yu was not discouraged.

For the past few days, he had been with Bu Lingfei and hadn’t done any dream simulations, so he figured he had accumulated some good luck.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Yu eagerly began a new dream simulation.

【Every dream is a new life for you!】

【Loading map and characters.】

【Selection completed!】

【Talent for this dream: Prodigal Sacred Body (Purple)】

【The higher the wasteful spending…】

【The faster the cultivation improvement.】

Seeing this dream’s talent, Ye Yu’s expression became rather strange.

A purple talent was already considered extremely high-tier.

But how come this “Prodigal Sacred Body” didn’t sound like a good thing no matter how you looked at it?

But if spending money was the key, so be it.

Just throw money around extravagantly? Easy enough.

The next second, a familiar pull came over him, and Ye Yu’s vision went black.

【Age 0, Ye Yu was born in the palace of the Great Yong Dynasty.】

【He became the sixteenth prince of the current emperor of Great Yong.】

【The Great Yong Dynasty is located in the southern part of the Northern Desolate Continent.】

【The national power is strong, the territory vast, and talents emerge in large numbers.】

【As Ye Yu looked at the golden and splendid decorations around him…he immediately felt delighted in his heart.】

【Not bad, looks like there’s plenty of money to squander.】

【Should be enough for him to squander extravagantly to his heart’s content!】

【At 8 years old, Ye Yu began using his innate dream talent.】

【For meals, he wouldn’t eat unless it was spirit beast meat of at least the Golden Core stage.】

【And he had to eat half and throw the other half away, emphasizing wastefulness.】

【Clothes could only be worn for one day before being discarded.】

【He used his mother consort’s pearl necklace to play by throwing it at the lake’s surface.】

【He’d randomly split ancient zithers for firewood and tear up cultivation manuals for fun.】

【This series of actions allowed Ye Yu to reach the early stage of the Qi Refining realm within two days.】

【Seeing the good results, Ye Yu immediately planned to expand his wasteful endeavors further.】

【He aimed to reach the Foundation Establishment as soon as possible.】

【However, he also tried to control the pace.】

【He couldn’t appear too monstrous in his talent, lest he attract unwanted attention and get targeted and eliminated.】

【After all this time living here…】

【Ye Yu had come to understand the basic situation of the Great Yong Dynasty.】

【There were no fewer than eighteen princes.】

【The eldest prince was over a hundred years old.】

【Yet the position of Crown Prince in the Great Yong Dynasty had always remained vacant.】

【His father, Emperor Ye Kuiliang, had repeatedly stated in public that the Crown Prince was the cornerstone of the nation and should be chosen based on ability, not by seniority.】

【Isn’t this purely raising venomous insects?】

【With eighteen princes and no need to follow seniority, it meant that each one had a chance.】

【They would naturally strive to perform well in order to gain the title of Crown Prince.】

【As for this temptation, Ye Yu just smiled and said nothing.】

【Eighteen candidates, double nine-dragon struggle for succession, hell-level difficulty.】

【Anyone willing to tackle such a quest is welcome to.】

【Ye Yu, on the other hand, felt that being an emperor was not worth it.】

【Isn’t ascending to the Heavenly Realm much better?】

【So, during his current youthful stage, he decided to keep a low profile.】

【He wouldn’t let others see him as a strong competitor.】

【This way, he could live a bit longer.】@@novelbin@@

【At 9 years old, Ye Yu realized that his previous thoughts were indeed a bit naïve.】

【Although his mother, Lady Zhou, doted on him, his prodigal behavior eventually reached the ears of Emperor Ye Kuiliang.】

【Ye Kuiliang immediately issued a decree to confine Ye Yu for three months.】

【During these three months, all his food, clothing, and other necessities were to be the most frugal.】

【Ye Kuiliang’s slogan was: Special treatment for the rebellious son of the Ye family.】

【To be honest, this method was indeed harsh.】

【Previously, Ye Yu had been feasting on extravagant banquets and wasting resources.】

【But during his confinement, his meals consisted of plain noodles with only water, without even a trace of meat.】

【Such a huge contrast left Ye Yu feeling very distressed.】

【He repeatedly pleaded with Ye Kuiliang, saying that he was just a child and needed proper nutrition.】

【Facts proved this was useless.】

【After the three-month period, Ye Yu’s clothes were all torn.】

【He had lost weight and looked emaciated.】

【As for his cultivation, there was no progress at all.】

【Ye Yu was very upset. Without indulging in wastefulness, how could he cultivate at all?】

【This path cannot be cut off!】

【It seemed that in the future, when indulging in extravagance, he would have to be more cautious and avoid being too conspicuous.】

【But where would the money come from? That was a big problem.】

【You see, before a prince reaches fifteen years of age, they receive no stipend.】

【And since Ye Yu’s previous behavior, Ye Kuiliang had issued a decree specifically to Ye Yu: Each meal must not exceed ten taels, and he must not damage any items in the palace.】

【If there’s another offense, the confinement will be extended to three years.】

【In response, Ye Yu felt like he had ten thousand alpacas galloping wildly in his mind.】

【Hmm, encountering such a rebellious father again, it’s really infuriating.】

【Lady Zhou noticed Ye Yu’s gloominess.】

【She quietly slipped him a storage ring.】

【Inside were many silver notes and spirit stones.】

【Lady Zhou even added a few grandiose words; My child, spend freely, be extravagant—there’s nothing wrong with that.】

【Your mother has nothing else, just plenty of money. The largest trading company in the Great Yong Dynasty is your grandfather’s.】

【Upon hearing these words, Ye Yu’s heroic spirit was rekindled!】

【He hadn’t expected that his mother would become his greatest ally in his prodigal journey.】

【In that case, let’s go all out and indulge!】

【In the following days, Ye Yu frequently tossed silver notes to the palace maids and eunuchs.】

【Whenever he encountered a cultivator, he threw spirit stones.】

【Reason?】

【No reason. The prince is happy today, it’s just for fun!】

【After half a year, all the palace maids, eunuchs, and even cultivators regarded Ye Yu’s arrival as if seeing their own father.】

【They all fawned over him excessively.】

【Ye Yu’s path of money-throwing continued unabated, and his generosity grew increasingly lavish.】

【When Lady Zhou learned of this, she felt quite distressed.】

【Although the Zhou family was indeed wealthy, they couldn’t sustain such daily extravagance.】

【She thought about reprimanding Ye Yu but ultimately decided against it.】

【After all, everyone has their own interests and hobbies.】

【If he enjoys spending money, so be it. The Zhou family can afford it; worst case, we’ll just save a bit more in the future.】

【When Emperor Ye Kuiliang learned of this… 】

【He was so angry he slammed the table and stood up on the spot.】
