Chapter 115 A Request from Another Should Be Fulfilled
"Okay!"
Lü Qianqian smiled gracefully, as beautiful as a fairy descended to earth, and agreed without hesitation.
Zhuo Yang was stunned for a moment, feeling like he had been tricked.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He cautiously asked, "Aren't you going to hesitate for a moment, or try to find a way to trick me?"
Lu Qianqian tilted her head slightly and said softly, "Why hesitate? Without you, I wouldn't have been able to snatch these treasures. Besides, without your life-saving act, I would have died long ago. I owe you a huge favor."
"This isn't like you!" Zhuo Yang looked at her, his brows furrowed.
In Zhuo Yang's memory, Lü Qianqian was very similar to himself; neither of them would suffer a loss unless the enemy was too powerful, in which case they would temporarily retreat, but they would definitely make a comeback.
"Little Phoenix, you wouldn't be hiding a few treasures like you did when the gold was being distributed, would you?" Zhuo Yang looked at Lü Qianqian with a wink, teasing her.
Lu Qianqian glanced at him, covered her mouth, and smiled elegantly, "Zhuo Yang, do you think I'm an ungrateful woman?"
"Yes!" Zhuo Yang nodded.
Anger surged to her head, and Lü Qianqian was almost bursting with rage. She had intended to have a good talk with Zhuo Yang, to build a closer relationship, and perhaps even recruit him into Phoenix Pavilion.
Given Zhuo Yang's attitude towards me, loyalty wouldn't be an exaggeration, but his infatuation is certainly considerable. If I treat Zhuo Yang well, he'll be a valuable assistant when we get to the demon realm…
As it turns out, this guy actually mistook her for an ungrateful woman!
"What did you say?!" Lu Qianqian said, each word distinct and louder than the last, her anger barely contained.
"What I mean is..." Zhuo Yang felt an inexplicable fear, like the feeling of someone who had successfully cultivated into a demon and was about to undergo a heavenly tribulation, as if he were locked in by the Heavenly Dao.
He swallowed hard and said quickly, "You are a woman of heavenly beauty, the embodiment of the essence of heaven and earth, the most beautiful woman on this planet!"
"Heh, you've got a strong survival instinct!" Lü Qianqian sneered twice, staring at Zhuo Yang with a death stare in her eyes. "What exactly did you mean just now?"
This hurdle is insurmountable.
Zhuo Yang felt helpless. He put away his smile and adopted a serious expression: "You're just as shameless as me. You'll never let go of any benefits easily. I think you'll try to trick me."
"But then I thought again, you're the same kind of person as me, which is why I'm interested in you and want to marry you."
"So I'm not angry anymore. It doesn't matter what you give me, we're all family here anyway!"
If she hadn't said the second thing, Lü Qianqian would have immediately made Zhuo Yang pay, or at the very least, they would have died together.
"Hmph, you can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!" Lü Qianqian turned her head away disdainfully, reached behind her with her small hand, and threw out an iron ball.
“Meteorite Iron!” Zhuo Yang clicked his tongue. “I have no use for this stuff. You could use it to improve the quality of the Narrow Space Ruler, but it won’t be very effective and it would be a waste of time.”
"However, Concubine Guo'er doesn't have any good weapons yet!"
Then he added, and casually reached into his Qiankun bag, stuffing the meteorite iron inside.
"You mean...Guo'er...a concubine?" Lü Qianqian's eyes flashed with cold light as she locked onto Zhuo Yang.
"Yes, you're jealous?" Zhuo Yang looked at her in surprise. "Don't worry, you're my wife, she's just a concubine, she's not even married into the family yet!"
"I can't be bothered with you!" Lü Qianqian quickly turned her head away, really not wanting to look at him.
What does it have to do with me if he takes a few concubines? Why should I be angry?
That's what I'm saying, but I have acid reflux and feel a bit uncomfortable. It must be because I didn't eat a good lunch or dinner.
Lu Qianqian threw out another glass bottle the size of a fist, containing some powder that reflected a metallic luster.
"Immaculate True Iron?" Zhuo Yang scanned it with his demonic eyes, then shook his head. "It's just iron powder containing a tiny bit of Immaculate True Iron. You can keep it for refining weapons and giving it away."
If it were pure, immaculate iron, Zhuo Yang believed that Lü Qianqian would never have taken it out, even if it meant death. That stuff was used to forge divine artifacts, and it was incredibly precious even in the immortal realm, almost impossible to find in the mortal world.
Lü Qianqian rolled her eyes and put away the glass bottle. She really did have plans to refine the artifact and give it away. The Phoenix Pavilion was currently plundering treasures by exploring secret realms in various places, but there were so many experts within the pavilion that there weren't enough treasures to go around.
Then, she took out a bottle of pills.
After looking at it, Zhuo Yang threw it back immediately, saying, "It's just a Marrow Cleansing Pill. This thing is useless to both of us."
Lu Qianqian suppressed her anger and put away the porcelain bottle. After hesitating for a while, she took out the most important thing.
A box carved from pure white jade, when opened, reveals three diamond-like crystals, their interiors radiating a bluish-green aura.
"Spirit Crystal Stone!" Zhuo Yang narrowed his eyes.
“Yes!” Lü Qianqian smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes sweeping over Zhuo Yang. “You know how precious spirit crystals are, I don’t need to tell you. There are three here, how do you plan to divide them?”
"One for each person, and I'm giving the rest to a friend, so I'll take two." Zhuo Yang finally became serious, smiling indifferently.
Lü Qianqian frowned: "You have a friend who wants to form a Nascent Soul?"
Zhuo Yang gave a wry smile: "Probably, but I'm not sure for sure."
"You don't even know what that friend is up to, yet you're asking for an incredibly precious spirit crystal on his behalf?" Lu Qianqian was seething with anger, especially since the person who was making her so angry was Zhuo Yang!
Seeing Zhuo Yang nod, she angrily threw two spirit crystals at him, "I bet that person is a woman!"
Zhuo Yang said indifferently, "Zhou Hanxiao is the Southeast Region Manager of Longting All-Selling Trade Company!"
"Gah?"
Lu Qianqian let out a strange sound. She wanted to curse Zhuo Yang for caring about other women, but she choked back her words.
She quickly coughed twice to cover her embarrassment, and asked through gritted teeth, "How did you get involved with that cunning guy Zhou Hanxiao? Aren't you afraid of being sold out by him and still helping him count the money?"
His anger vanished instantly, and he began to worry about Zhuo Yang.
Zhuo Yang smiled faintly and said, "I am committed to fulfilling the trust placed in me. Promises are very important to me."
Lu Qianqian rolled her eyes and pouted, "I can't be bothered with your business. Don't cry in front of me when you get tricked by Zhou Hanxiao!"
"You care about me?" Zhuo Yang's expression changed instantly, looking both surprised and delighted.
A blush rose on Lü Qianqian's cheeks as she angrily retorted, "Who cares about you? Go to hell!"
"You're just saying that!" Zhuo Yang said with glee, casually reaching to his waist and pulling out a beautifully crafted phoenix hairpin.
He placed it in front of Lü Qianqian and chuckled, "Since you care about me, I'll give you this nice thing!"
"Golden Phoenix Hairpin!" Lü Qianqian's eyes widened as she stared at Zhuo Yang in disbelief.
Golden crystal is an extremely rare treasure that can perfectly fuse with any kind of true essence to enhance the power of spells. The purer the golden crystal, the greater the enhancement in power.
This phoenix hairpin, crafted entirely from gold crystal, is a rare find even in the celestial realm; it can be considered a truly superior spiritual artifact. If it were refined several more times with other precious treasures, it could become a magic weapon, or even a spiritual treasure!
