Chapter 082: Pretending to be Mysterious?
"Chen, just tell me, okay? Please?" Xie Yao said, clinging to Yang Chen's arm and acting cute.
"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. Alright, it's getting dark; let's go for a walk," Yang Chen replied.
"Okay, I’ll listen to you." Instantly, Xie Yao put the matter of the Four War Generals out of her mind. She happily linked arms with Yang Chen and went shopping with him. Although Yang Chen had been to Silver Moon City before, he had never really enjoyed it. Now that he was back, he wanted to explore properly, especially with Xie Yao as his free tour guide. However, Xie Yao was even more curious than Yang Chen, touching and looking at everything around.
"Were you living in Silver Moon City before?" Yang Chen asked curiously.
"Yes, why?" Xie Yao replied, puzzled.
"Then why are you so curious? It feels like it's your first time here," Yang Chen explained.
"Of course it's different! You don't know how strict our Crimson Tooth Yongbing group is. Even if we are allowed to disband freely, we must return to designated areas to live; we can't move around freely at all. So, the rules of the Shadow Kill Yongbing group are much better; there are only four simple rules. Ha ha." Listening to Xie Yao's explanation, Yang Chen felt helpless about the methods of the Red Dragon.
"Chen, what do you think of this accessory?" Xie Yao pointed at a pink hairpin in front of them.
"This young lady has a good eye; although this hairpin is just a tool, it has an engraved space inside that can store fighting energy. When you and your enemy are both injured, you can use this stored fighting energy to instantly kill your opponent," the stall owner explained.
At that moment, Yang Chen became curious: "A space that can store fighting energy? Do you have any more of these hairpins? Or where did you get this one?"
"None left; perhaps I'm the only one on the entire continent with an item that has the ability to store fighting energy. To be honest with you, this hairpin was obtained four years ago during our Yongbing group's exploration of ancient ruins in the wilderness. We lost thousands of brothers for it. Since then, the Yongbing group has been in decline, and many brothers have left; now I’m the only one left."
"I'll take it, how much?" Yang Chen asked.
"80,000 Purple Gold Coins," the stall owner, a middle-aged man with blood-red hair, replied with a surprising price.
"Oh? Do you think it's worth 80,000 Purple Gold Coins?" Yang Chen inquired.
"Chen, let's not buy it, okay? It's too expensive; he's trying to rip us off," Xie Yao hurriedly said.
"What does it matter if it's worth it or not? If you want to buy it, buy it. If not, I'm not forcing you," the middle-aged man said indifferently.
"Can I take a look?" Yang Chen asked.
"Sure." The middle-aged man wasn't worried that Yang Chen would run off with it and casually tossed it to him. Yang Chen caught it and infused his fighting spirit into it. No matter how much fighting spirit he poured in, there was not the slightest fluctuation. At the same time, his soul power couldn't penetrate it either, preventing him from probing anything.
"Do you want it?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Isn't it just 80,000 Purple Gold Coins? Consider me believing in your gamble. Here." Yang Chen took out a Purple Gold Card from the Demon God Ring and said, "There's 100,000 Purple Gold Coins inside; you can keep all of it." After saying this, Yang Chen turned to leave; he needed to find every possible way to uncover the secret of this item.
"Wait, I said I would only take 80,000 Purple Gold Coins and not a single coin more. So, consider the remaining 20,000 Purple Gold Coins as payment for this square." The middle-aged man flicked his wrist, and a white square about three fingers wide and half a centimeter thick shot toward Yang Chen's neck. When it touched Yang Chen's skin, it strangely stopped and then transformed into a white thread that wrapped around his neck.
"What is this thing?" Yang Chen asked as he touched the cold white square on his chest.
"A small thing, but it's my most important item. However, since I've met a brother today, I'll give this to you as a gift. May you be safe," the middle-aged man said. After speaking, he merged into the void and disappeared without a trace.
"Wait." The middle-aged man in the space never appeared again.
"Wish me peace? Are we that familiar? However, being able to merge with Void must mean you are a Saint of Combat level expert. No matter what your purpose is, I remain unyielding." Yang Chen said firmly.
"Chen." Xie Yao said gently. A man who is willing to spend lavishly for you must have you in his heart. This was Xie Yao's own standard of evaluation.
"As long as you're happy. However, I'm very curious about this Formation that stores Fighting Spirit. Let me study it for a couple of days, okay?" Yang Chen said lazily.
"Yes, I'll do whatever you say." Xie Yao replied softly.
"Yao'er, it's already dark. Is there anywhere fun to go?" Yang Chen asked.
"Let me think. Oh, the Stargazing Platform at the highest point allows one to feel as if they are amidst the stars. It's a must-visit place for many couples at night," Xie Yao said.
"Great, then let's go to the Stargazing Platform. I'll take you to catch stars," Yang Chen smiled and said.
"Mm-hmm." Xie Yao nodded repeatedly. The two leaned against each other, and under Xie Yao's guidance, Yang Chen arrived at the Stargazing Platform. It was about the size of a basketball court and stood a hundred meters high; however, in the center of this Stargazing Platform, there was a thirty-meter tall tower.
"Yao'er, what is that tower?" Yang Chen pointed at the tall tower in front of him and asked.
"Oh, that? I heard it's called the Stargazing Tower. But no one has ever gone up there; it's said that only those with royal disciple status can ascend. Otherwise, it's treated as rebellion and punished by exterminating the Nine Clans," Xie Yao explained.
"Oh?" Yang Chen suddenly revealed a mischievous smile and said, "I see."
"Chen, you don't want to go up there, do you?" Xie Yao said with concern.
"Hehe, how could I?" Yang Chen replied. "Heavenly Gift is here too? Yao'er, you stay here; I'll go find Heavenly Gift."
"Okay, you go ahead. I'll wait for you," Xie Yao said gently.
Yang Chen walked over to Heavenly Gift, who was gazing at the starry sky, and said, "Why are you alone here?" Heavenly Gift looked down at Yang Chen and replied, "Young Master, I am observing the fate star of the Fourth War General."
"Oh, what have you discovered?"
"The Fourth War General is about to descend." Yang Chen glanced at the brilliant war star in the north and asked, "When will he arrive?"
"In a moment," Heavenly Gift answered.
"So soon?"
"Not soon; it's already a bit late."
"........."
Yang Chen turned back to Xie Yao and said, "Let's just stay here quietly and watch for the celestial phenomenon later."
"Everything is up to you," Xie Yao said gently. The man and woman quietly gazed at the stars above, engaging in soft conversation.
"Young Master," Tian Ci called out.
"Yao'er, I'll go over for a moment," Yang Chen said.
"Okay, go ahead," Xie Yao nodded.
"What is it, Tian Ci? Has the Fourth Star of War descended?" Yang Chen inquired.
"It will take about another minute," Tian Ci replied, counting on his fingers.
"Will there be any unusual phenomena?"
"There will."
"Will it appear here?"
"There will be a little."
"Good, tonight, let's put on a show!" Yang Chen said with enthusiasm.
After speaking, he put away the emblem of the Shadow Kill Yongbing group from his chest and wore the emblem of the Crimson Tooth Yongbing group instead. Although he couldn't officially claim it, simply wearing it was acceptable.
