Without any makeup, her skin, just bathed, was as delicate as freshly blossomed cherry petals, with a hint of light pink amidst its whiteness, reminiscent of a peach kissed by rain, making one unable to resist the urge to savor its tender flavor.
Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes shone like bright stars, holding a touch of shyness that only added to her alluring charm.
The outer layer of her shoulders revealed a glimpse of skin and fabric that swayed gracefully, evoking a sense of intimacy at first glance.
The wedding dress fit her perfectly, accentuating her rounded bust and seemingly fragile waist. Beneath the hem of the skirt, exquisite crystal-embellished shoes sparkled, highlighting her delicate toes.
As he took in her beauty from head to toe and then back again, Dongfang Hao felt an instinctive rush of blood, his throat tightening, and his gaze deepening.
Luo Bingbing immediately understood his expression but chose to ignore it. Instead, she said directly to him, "Honey, let's go! We’re getting married."
However, at that moment, Dongfang Hao did not want to leave. He leaned closer to Luo Bingbing's ear and softly whispered, "Wife, can we go later?" His voice was filled with seductive allure.
Upon hearing this, Luo Bingbing felt her heart flutter but ultimately steadied herself and quickly stepped aside, slipping out of Dongfang Hao's embrace in an instant.
"Honey, if we don't go soon, they might come back."
Realizing he had gotten carried away, Dongfang Hao suppressed the fire within him and said to Luo Bingbing, "Let’s hurry! If we don’t leave now, I’m afraid I might ruin this wedding dress."
Walking down the street in their wedding attire drew many curious glances from passersby. However, those onlookers expressed only admiration and envy; there was no hint of surprise.
Statistics show that every year 120,000 couples register for marriage in Las Vegas. Many newlyweds also come here for their honeymoon. Therefore, seeing people in wedding dresses and suits on the street is not unusual; Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing were merely one couple among many.
Amidst the blessings from strangers, they obtained their marriage certificate and quickly made their way to a nearby church.
Upon entering the church, they found not only a pastor but also five or six pairs of newlyweds who had just finished their prayers. Seeing that Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao had not yet prayed, they willingly offered to be witnesses for their marriage.
"Mr. Dongfang Hao, do you take Miss Luo Bingbing as your wife? In wealth or poverty, in sickness or health, will you love and cherish each other until death do you part?"
Listening to the pastor's melodious voice stirred a sweet warmth within everyone present, flowing slowly from the depths of their hearts into every corner of their bodies.
"I do! I take Luo Bingbing as my wife. In wealth or poverty, in sickness or health, we will love and cherish each other until death do us part!"
The pastor listened to Dongfang Hao's words, momentarily taken aback, naturally due to his last statement. However, he quickly revealed a tolerant smile.
Luo Bingbing, without a second thought, gave the same answer as Dongfang Hao.
After seeing both of them place the wedding rings symbolizing their vows on each other, the pastor smiled and said, "May the divine always be with you. Now, the groom may kiss the bride."
Gazing directly at Lovely One, Dongfang Hao slowly said, "Wife, I love you!" Without waiting for her response, he leaned down and kissed Lovely One.
The flickering candlelight illuminated the empty church. The painted dome, witnessing the suffering of the Lord for humanity, bore witness to everything that transpired.
It wasn't until they were both breathless that they reluctantly parted their lips. After nodding in gratitude to those around them, they quickly left the church.
Once they returned swiftly to the luxurious suite at Mandray Bay Resort Hotel, Dongfang Hao pushed Luo Bingbing against the door and kissed her again.
However, just as they were kissing, the doorbell rang, accompanied by the sound of their phones on the coffee table.
Without needing to think, they knew it was Yijun Che returning. Thus, they reluctantly released each other’s lips once more.
Luo Bingbing was relatively calm, but Dongfang Hao was seething with anger. He really did not want to open the door but felt compelled since the primary purpose of this trip was Love Pearl.
So he had no choice but to suppress his frustration and slowly opened the door.
Since their expressions had returned to calmness, Yijun Che and his companion did not notice anything unusual upon entering. However, they were slightly surprised to see the two dressed in wedding attire.
Then Yijun Che shared what they had discovered with Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing.
After listening, they remained silent. They had no thoughts regarding the buildings surrounding the Convention Center but were immediately concerned about what Yijun Che mentioned: that they had found another hidden force during their investigation. Even that gangster could not uncover any details about these individuals, which piqued their interest.
They not only asked detailed questions but also instructed that gangster to send more personnel to investigate those people's identities.
While Luo Bingbing and others discussed these individuals, those people were reporting Yijun Che's situation back to their leader. They knew about the gangster's background but could not find out anything about Yijun Che's sudden appearance.
Upon hearing this, their leader ordered them to investigate Yijun Che's identity immediately.
However, since neither side had appeared again or met, they searched for several days without receiving any news.
Although they knew the background of that gang, Luo Bingbing deliberately set up a special barrier around the Mandray Bay Resort Hotel where they were staying to prevent anyone from investigating their situation. This barrier obscured all the videos inside, making it difficult to see certain content. Moreover, the gang members had not returned to the Mandray Bay Resort Hotel to look for Luo Bingbing and the others since that day.
Five days later was the day of the auction for the Love Pearl at the Convention Center.
On this day, Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao woke up early. The three of them made meticulous preparations for the auction, from their formal attire to the weapons they carried.
Once all preparations were complete, a gang member arrived immediately in a black stretch limousine to pick them up at the entrance of the Mandray Bay Resort Hotel.
On the other side of the city, someone else was also setting out at that moment.
Indeed, that person was Murong Shang. That night, his private jet landed directly on the rooftop of the Murong Family's luxurious villa, where there was a runway exclusively for Murong family aircraft.
The mysterious person encountered by Yijun Che and his group was also one of his subordinates.
Two cars from opposing directions headed towards the centrally located Convention Center and arrived simultaneously at its entrance.
Coincidentally, Dongfang Hao and Murong Shang both stepped out of their cars at the same time and saw each other. The shock of encountering two powerful souls from ancient times in this futuristic world was unimaginable.
Since Murong Shang had crossed over into his own future body, his appearance had not changed much; likewise, Dongfang Hao had come over in his original body, so he looked unchanged as well. Additionally, Luo Bingbing had washed off the disguise on his face that morning, allowing Murong Shang to recognize him immediately.
“Dongfang Hao!”
“Murong Shang!”
After both called out each other's names simultaneously, they were momentarily stunned...
At this point, Luo Bingbing and Yijun Che also got out of their car. Upon seeing Murong Shang, Luo Bingbing was genuinely surprised, but Yijun Che recognized immediately that the man standing behind Murong Shang was one of the mysterious individuals from that night.
He recognized that person, who in turn recognized him right away. Subsequently, that person informed Murong Shang while Yijun Che directly told Luo Bingbing that this man was one of those involved with the mysterious forces from that night.
After hearing what their companions said, neither of them was overly surprised; after all, they were not strangers and already had a good understanding of each other's abilities.
After slightly raising an eyebrow, Luo Bingbing slowly walked to Dongfang Hao's side with Yijun Che and said to Murong Shang across from them, "This is quite unexpected!"
After scanning the three people across from him, Murong Shang nodded lightly and replied, "Indeed, it is unexpected."
It seemed as if he was sharing his surprise at seeing someone he hadn't met in a long time, or perhaps explaining this sudden encounter.
While they were conversing, a waiter standing at the entrance of the Convention Center suddenly approached them to inform them that parking was not allowed at the entrance.
Subsequently, they instructed their driver to move the car immediately. As soon as their car left, other vehicles began to arrive in succession.
Seeing that other cars were approaching their area, Dongfang Hao coldly said to Murong Shang, "Since our goals are the same, let's each rely on our own abilities."
Once he finished speaking, Dongfang Hao turned to Luo Bingbing beside him and said, "Honey, let's go inside!"
Murong Shang stood quietly in place, contemplating Dongfang Hao's group's purpose for seizing the Love Pearl. It wasn't until a long while after Dongfang Hao and his companions had entered that he slowly made his way into the Convention Center.
Not long after he entered, the auction began. Naturally, the first items up for bid were some relatively ordinary treasures, which were priced around one hundred fifty thousand dollars.
The Love Pearl, being the highlight of this auction, was scheduled to be presented last. When it became clear that the auction was nearing its end, the auction supervisor personally brought out the rare pink pearl.
Although Luo Bingbing and her companions felt extremely excited upon seeing the Love Pearl, they did not immediately place a bid, nor did Murong Shang take the lead in bidding.
Since the Love Pearl was a unique treasure, its price was naturally much higher than those of previous items. The starting price set by the Convention Center was three million dollars.
When the bidding reached ten million dollars, Murong Shang began to place his bid while Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing had yet to start bidding.
Although Murong Shang rarely attended such galas, he bore a striking resemblance to Murong Ling, who frequently participated in various meetings and events. Therefore, upon seeing him, outsiders immediately recognized him as Murong Ling's only son.
As soon as he placed a bid, some people quickly withdrew from bidding; after all, in today's world, the financial strength of Murong Group was not something they could compete with.
It should be noted that last year, Murong Group ranked among the top three in global financial power!
However, just because others were not bidding did not mean that Dongfang Hao and his group would refrain from doing so. It was clear that the final two bidders for the Love Pearl would be Murong Shang and Dongfang Hao.
They started the bidding at eleven million dollars, gradually raising it to twenty million, thirty million, forty million... until it reached one hundred million dollars.
Just as Murong Shang was about to continue raising the bid, someone in a corner of the Convention Center suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! I never expected that a pearl I casually picked up from the roadside would be worth a hundred million."
Since Murong Shang and his group had not stopped bidding, the venue was very quiet, and everyone heard his words clearly.
People turned to look and saw a man around fifty years old sitting in the VIP section laughing heartily. Beside him was a woman dressed in management attire from the Convention Center, trying to calm him down and telling him not to be so excited.
Upon hearing this, Luo Bingbing quickly moved in front of him and directly asked, "Where did you find this Love Pearl?"
Yijun Che noticed that she had directly used her Ability without any regard for the surrounding environment or its impact on herself. He couldn't help but frown and said to Dongfang Hao beside him, "Bing Bing should really be more careful! This is a public place!"
Originally, Yijun Che wanted Dongfang Hao to say something about that Little One, but he didn't expect that after hearing his complaint, Dongfang Hao would look at him coldly, his gaze filled with warning.
Instantly, Yijun Che had no choice but to retreat weakly.
The man laughing in the VIP section immediately turned pale upon seeing Luo Bingbing and stammered, "You... you... you're the beauty who lost the pink pearl, right?"
Hearing his words, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but smirk slightly, revealing a mischievous smile as she calmly said, "So you know that Love Pearl belongs to me?"
Her tone was both questioning and affirming, which genuinely shocked everyone present.
Before the crowd could regain their composure, Luo Bingbing continued, "As the saying goes, possession should return to its rightful owner! It shouldn't be too much for me to come and reclaim my own belongings, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman in management attire immediately responded, "Miss, you should know that this is the Convention Center. Moreover, we are holding this auction according to legal procedures."
Her tone was both threatening and warning, which instantly angered Dongfang Hao. He quickly walked over to Luo Bingbing's side and before she could respond, he coldly said to the woman, "Is that so? But I can assure you that no one here at the Convention Center knows the origin of this Love Pearl."
Upon hearing his words, the woman fell silent. The Convention Center staff who had wanted to speak earlier also didn't know how to respond now.
After listening to their conversation, Murong Shang furrowed his brows tightly. At this point, he was completely certain that this Love Pearl must be related to Luo Bingbing.
Just as he was deep in thought, a melodious voice rang out again. "Do you know why this pearl is so rare and pink?"
After a brief pause, Luo Bingbing continued, "That was formed from my master's blood and soul, the Love Pearl."
Upon hearing her words, everyone fell silent, and the entire Convention Center became very quiet. In this unusually silent moment, a distant yet familiar voice suddenly echoed through the venue.
"Xi'er, Xi'er, little one, little one..."
For the voice in front of her, Luo Bingbing felt only a slight ripple in her heart, but upon hearing the latter part, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Master, where are you?"
"Hehe, I still prefer you to call me Old Man. Little one, your time in this world is limited. I can help you complete one last task. However, you only have three days. Remember, Speed is essential."
At the moment the voice of Snow Spirit Elder faded away, the box containing the Love Pearl automatically opened, and the Love Pearl flew into Luo Bingbing's hand.
The entire process was very brief and quite bizarre; even Luo Bingbing found it hard to believe. After all, Snow Spirit Elder's soul had dissipated in ancient times—how could he still speak?
Of course, this miracle was due to the Phoenix's rebirth flames from last time. During that fire, the Phoenix not only absorbed the Spirit Beasts and demonic energy scattered in the air by the demon king Silver Wolf but also secretly helped repair Snow Spirit Elder's soul.
However, it approached this with a trial-and-error mindset since even it did not know whether that ancient inheritance from memory would work. Therefore, it did not inform Luo Bingbing about this matter.
As before, Luo Bingbing slowly extended her hand, and the Love Pearl automatically landed in her palm. After securing the Love Pearl in her hand, she couldn't help but glance at the others around her.
However, when her gaze fell on their faces, she was immediately taken aback because everyone wore a dazed expression, their eyes filled with a dreamy look.
Just as she was puzzled by this, she heard Dongfang Hao's voice beside her. He leaned close to her ear and said, "Wife, we should take this opportunity to leave quickly!"
After hearing his words, Luo Bingbing nodded immediately. However, when their eyes landed on Yijun Che's face, they saw the same dazed expression and dreamy look.
Raising an eyebrow slightly, they quickly approached him and called out to him several times. Yet he remained unresponsive like everyone else around them.
Thus, Dongfang Hao had no choice but to hoist him onto his shoulder and carry him away.
But just as they took a few steps forward, Murong Shang's voice suddenly rang out from behind them. "What? You think you can just leave like this?"
Upon hearing his voice, Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing were quite surprised, but they still stopped in their tracks.
Dongfang Hao turned around and asked, "What do you want then?" As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Bingbing immediately replied, "Are you trying to take my Love Pearl?"
After shaking his head slightly, Murong Shang slowly said, "This Love Pearl originally belongs to you; I naturally won't take what others cherish."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Hao quickly retorted, "How hypocritical! I wonder who was the one who did something so despicable back then."
"Hmph! Dongfang Hao, I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
"Settle the score?" After pondering for a moment, he continued, "We should indeed settle our accounts, but not now; we need to find another time."
Upon hearing this, Murong Shang immediately asked, "What? Are you afraid?"
"Who knows who is afraid?"
"Then bring it on!" With that, Murong Shang launched a fierce attack on Dongfang Hao. Luo Bingbing understood that this was a battle between men, so she did not intervene.
After gently placing Yijun Che aside, Dongfang Hao faced the challenge head-on, catching Murong Shang's full-force strike with one hand. He didn't even take a step back and instead gave Murong Shang a mocking smile.
In contrast, despite using all of his power in the attack, Murong Shang not only failed to push Dongfang Hao back even a step but was also forced back a few steps himself.
Seeing the smirk at the corner of Dongfang Hao's mouth only fueled his anger further, and he charged at Dongfang Hao again.
Luo Bingbing was intently watching their battle when she suddenly heard Yijun Che exclaim beside her, "Wow! Why did they suddenly start fighting?"
Hearing his voice, Luo Bingbing turned to him and asked, "You're awake. Is there anywhere that feels uncomfortable?"
Shaking his head lightly, he replied, "No, I just feel a bit dizzy. By the way, did you get the Love Pearl?"
"Don't you remember what happened just now?" Luo Bingbing asked in confusion.
Yijun Che looked puzzled and asked, "What happened just now?"
After hearing his words, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but think to herself, "It seems he really doesn't know what just happened. This means the others in the hall are unaware as well. But why is Murong Shang awake?"
"Wow! This is the legendary Lightness Skill!"
"Is that internal energy?"
While Luo Bingbing was lost in thought, everyone at the Convention Center gradually regained consciousness. Upon seeing Dongfang Hao and Murong Shang flying and fighting in mid-air, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
As soon as the supervisor of the Convention Center woke up, he noticed that the Love Pearl in his hand had vanished. Without caring about the ongoing battle between Dongfang Hao and Murong Shang, he immediately ordered the security personnel to apprehend Luo Bingbing.
In an instant, several security guards armed with mini firearms rushed toward Luo Bingbing. Seeing them approach, she raised an eyebrow and said to Yijun Che beside her, "We need to leave here immediately; otherwise, we'll get into trouble."
Then, Luo Bingbing used her Ability to float over to Dongfang Hao's side, preparing to teleport him away with her.
At that moment, the guards had their guns aimed at Luo Bingbing, but she didn't seem concerned. When Murong Shang saw someone aiming at Luo Bingbing, he immediately lunged toward her.
However, just as Luo Bingbing activated her Ability to teleport, Murong Shang was also swept along with them as they left the Convention Center.
Since Luo Bingbing only wanted to leave that place quickly and teleported randomly, they ended up in an unfamiliar location.
Unfortunately, this unfamiliar place turned out to be a desolate mountain.
Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao clearly witnessed Murong Shang's earlier actions. Therefore, once they arrived at the desolate mountain, Dongfang Hao did not make things difficult for him.
Seeing that they had left the Convention Center in the blink of an eye and arrived at an unfamiliar place, Murong Shang felt quite puzzled.
Luo Bingbing frowned as she looked at the confused Murong Shang and said calmly, "You weren't dreaming; everything is real. Let the past be in the past! Since heaven has allowed you to be reborn on Earth, there must be a reason for it. Live well on this planet!"
Listening to Luo Bingbing's words, Murong Shang's thoughts began to drift away.
Indeed! His empire was gone. Even if he could return to ancient times, he would have nothing left. Why should he be so entangled in this?
With that thought, his heart began to open up slowly. He then said to Luo Bingbing, "Thank you! I was indeed wrong about the past..."
"Past events are like clouds of smoke; let them drift away with the wind!" Luo Bingbing interrupted directly.
After a slight nod, he asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time. "You were originally from Earth, right?"
"Yes, you guessed correctly."
As soon as Luo Bingbing finished speaking, Yijun Che chimed in, "Alright, cousin! We should head back; otherwise, Grandpa and the others will worry."
Then, Luo Bingbing and the others took Murong Shang to the foot of the mountain, where there was a gas station, and they let Murong Shang figure out how to return on his own.
They then used their Ability to teleport directly back to Yingqi's villa. When Luo Tianyou and the others saw them return safely, they were very happy.
When Luo Bingbing recounted what had happened at the Convention Center to everyone, they couldn't help but furrow their brows. However, Yingqi seemed to have known about this matter all along, so he immediately urged Luo Bingbing to hurry up and pack their things.
That night, the whole family went to the forbidden area. After placing the Love Pearl in the center position, they instantly disappeared from the forbidden area and arrived in an alternate ancient world.
