h4Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Just Wait for My Call/h4

The more she thought, the more possibilities emerged. Jinsheng quickly dismissed any wild guesses.

Jinsheng asserted: It must be my imagination. Lou Yan Zhi’s personality doesn’t seem like he’d be interested in me.

Caicai: Just don’t let him seduce you.

Jinsheng: ...Are you underestimating me?

What Beast Husband hasn’t she seen before?

How could she possibly be tempted!

She was still thinking about going home soon to reunite with her Beast Husbands.

With this in mind, Jinsheng consciously kept her distance from Lou Yan Zhi.

During this time, a total of thirty auction items were presented.

Lou Yanjin, all by himself, won twenty-eight of them.

The two that went to others were life-saving elixirs.

He didn’t need elixirs and had no reason to snatch something someone might urgently need for survival.

Soon, it was time for the Parasol Wood to make an appearance.

Upon seeing the Parasol Wood, Jinsheng tossed aside all the messy guesses swirling in her mind.

She listened anxiously to the auctioneer’s introduction, ready to ce her bid.

"The thirty-first item, named Parasol Wood, is said to possess it, you’ll be able to meet the Divine Phoenix. Perhaps someone here is meant to have it. The starting price for the Parasol Wood is five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, with each bid increase no less than one thousand top-grade Spirit Stones."

"One billion." As everyone hesitated over the authenticity of the Parasol Wood, Lou Yan Zhi casually spoke up: "One billion top-grade Spirit Stones."

"Are you crazy?" Jinsheng looked at him in shock.

Why not increase the price slowly?

With Lou Yanjin’s recent auction demeanor, even if Lou Yan Zhi only bid ten million, no one would likely challenge him.

"I forgot to mention that although the Secret Realm in the Cloud World requires a few more days to open, it’s hard to guarantee that there won’t be a surprising early entry." Lou Yan Zhi exined, "If we can obtain the Parasol Wood, we won’t have to wait for the Secret Realm to automatically open. I can send you back to the Mist Continent in advance."

"You came to the Cultivation World to find me because you were worried about me."

"But I’ve already returned home. Don’t you want to go home quickly?" Lou Yan Zhi smiled thoughtfully: "I know you’re also worried about those Beast Husbands waiting for you at Cloud tform."

"Thank you." Hearing Lou Yan Zhi’s words, Jinshengpletely dismissed her earlier suspicions and doubts about him.

She looked for Caicai in the Star System Map.

Jinsheng: I think Lou Yan Zhi is quite good.

Jinsheng: He clearly helped me merely to assist, just like he came to the Mist Continent from the Interster World for the sole purpose of resolving the causality that he caused by making me traverse to the Mist Continent.

Jinsheng: Now knowing I came to the Cultivation World because of him, he’s more proactive in sending me back, spending money and effort.

Jinsheng: I even feel guilty, thinking he does all this with hidden intentions toward me.

Caicai: Hmm...uh...that’s also true. When Lou Yan Zhi is not sinister, he’s quite a decent person.

Jinsheng: Caicai, stop talking about Lou Yan Zhi that way. He lent you points and gave you Spirit Stones.

After speaking, Jinsheng quickly fetched the Star System Map: "Map, calcte my resources in the Interster World and find something worth two billion for Lou Yan Zhi to use."

Since Lou Yan Zhi helped her return home.

And since Lou Yan Zhi won’t be going to the Interster World, Jinsheng ns to leave him some specialties from the Interster World.

As thanks for his help in acquiring the Parasol Wood.

She knows Lou Yan Zhi will not ept it if given directly.

Her gaze falls on Lou Yanjin, who is still bidding, preparing to use his hand to pass it on to Lou Yan Zhiter.

A billion top-grade Spirit Stones, before the auction ended, someone had already sent the Parasol Wood up.

Lou Yan Zhi calmly took the wooden box, without opening it, directly handed it to Jinsheng: "Hope you like it."

"It’s hard not to like it." Jinsheng happily epted.

Upon hearing the Parasol Wood was sent up, Lou Yanjin became very nervous.

But fearing his strange behavior would be noticed by Jinsheng, he focused entirely on bidding.

Regardless of whether he liked it or not, he first shouted a price.

To avoid his gaze constantly drifting toward the fake Parasol Wood in Jinsheng’s hand.

Jinsheng opened the wooden box and saw inside a small branch sprouting green buds and gold.

She’d never seen Parasol Wood before, so she wasn’t familiar.

Curiously, she poked at its golden bark, "Does the Parasol Wood in the Cultivation World look like this?"

[Master, testing ongoing] the voice from the Star System Map came.

[Master, because this is from a different universe, I’m syncing the data and need some time]

"It’s okay, no rush." Jinsheng replied.

However, with Lou Yan Zhi here, Jinsheng didn’t feel like he would bring her to an auction selling fakes.

"Now that we have the Parasol Wood, should we open the Secret Realm now or wander the Cultivation World a bit longer?" Lou Yan Zhi asked with a smile.

"Hmm..." Jinsheng hesitated.

Though she really wanted to explore the Cultivation World.

She was eager to go home.

If the Parasol Wood can enter Cloud World, she could help Que Zelian sooner.

"Understood." Seeing Jinsheng’s reaction, Lou Yan Zhi knew the answer.

He stood up and reached out to Jinsheng: "I’ll take you to the Secret Realm now."

"I want to go too." Lou Yanjin, who was bidding, turned to reply.

"Stay out of the way." Lou Yan Zhi nced at Lou Yanjin and exined to Jinsheng: "If the Secret Realm is the Cloud World where Que Zelian is, my brother needn’t go."

If this time Cloud Sky is the way home for Jinsheng.

It won’t provide any benefit by entering the Secret Realm.

Hearing Lou Yan Zhi wasn’t taking him, Lou Yanjin instantly fell silent.

He could only continue bidding.

Once Lou Yan Zhi took Jinsheng away from Tongtian Pavilion, Lou Yanjin slumped back into his seat.

The auction downstairs continued seamlessly.

Yet this time, Lou Yanjin’s consistent bidding was absent.

Lou Yanjin sat in his original position, frustratedly pulling at his hair: "Ah, ah, ah, what to do, what to do."

"My brother’s acting strange."

As the little tagalong who loved following Lou Yan Zhi since childhood, Lou Yanjin knew his terrifying older brother better than anyone in the family, even their mother.

Considering various reactions just earlier, Lou Yanjin sensed something was off with Lou Yan Zhi.

"Forget it, it’s none of my business. Jinsheng’s my brother’s friend; she should be okay, right?" Lou Yanjin muttered to himself.

Yet thinking about Caicai, Lou Yanjin started worrying: "That A-Chong seems pitiful. If my brother really goes mad, what will happen to him?"

"Maybe I should follow? My brother wouldn’t beat me to death, would he?"

Concerned for the penniless A-Chong, Lou Yanjin bravely rushed toward the Secret Realm’s location.

Yet when he hurriedly reached the cave housing the Secret Realm, all he saw was devastation.

There wasn’t even a cave; the mountain had crumbled, ame with ck coals.

Lou Yanjin was horrified by the sight, hearing sounds behind cracked, exploded boulders.

He looked behind the massive stone and saw Caicai tightly bound by the Immortal Binding Rope.

"A-Chong, what’s happened to you?" Lou Yanjin hurriedly assisted Caicai in getting untied.

Once freed, Caicai roared furiously toward the sky: "Lou Yan Zhi, go to hell!"

"You wait, I’m going to get even!"

"Where’s my brother?" Lou Yanjin pursued Caicai with questions: "Did he get blown up?"

"He didn’t get blown up." Caicai fumed: "He tied me up and ran off with Jinsheng."
