Shen Mu and Shen Long visited the palace of the Goddess.
Before entering the palace door, all of their aura disappeared, there was no light left on their bodies and even their dazzling appearances seemed to have become a blur. At first glance, they were no different from commoners.
They took a deep breath and finally took a step. Upon arriving at the hall, they even lowered their heads, not daring to look around.
There wasn't really anyone in the hall, but as soon as they stopped, a veiled figure appeared in front of them.
"Did you guys get the branch?" asked the figure, Shen Lianxiang.
For the woman, the two men still dared to stare. They didn't dare to look around for fear that their filthy eyes would accidentally see the beauty of the Goddess.
"Here it is, aunt!" Shen Long said, handing the branch over to her.
Even though he dared to look at her, he was still filled with reverence as if this woman in front of him was his own mother. Perhaps if he knew that the woman was offering herself up to Qin Yuan, he might cry blood.
Shen Lianxiang took the branch and looked at it with her calm eyes. Even though she was only a Spiritual Body and her eyes were devoid of any light, they were far sharper than any Epoch Giant's eyes.
At first, she didn't find anything suspicious. However, just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly narrowed her eyes, looking at the branch again and more thoroughly.
"Something is wrong," she said in a low voice, confusing Shen Mu and Shen Long.
"Try to absorb the energy." She returned the branch to Shen Long.
The latter started to have a bad feeling, he pretended to be calm, and started absorbing the branch's energy.
Nothing unusual, but after three seconds, it suddenly became transparent.
Before the three people could react, it turned into light so it couldn't be touched anymore.
"Ahh, what happened?" Shen Long and Shen Mu almost jumped. They don't do that just because they know where they are.
Even so, their faces had already become extremely red, not dissimilar to a monkey's buttocks.
"You have been tricked!" Shen Lianxiang said. She turned around after saying that and walked away.
Unlike the two men, she was still calm. However, if you look into her eyes, you will find a strange ripple.
Shen Long's breath, on the other hand, started to become very rapid. His eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets.
He gritted his teeth and bit his tongue until it bled.
Shen Mu was calmer. Knowing that it would be dangerous if Shen Long ran amok in the palace, so he pulled him out.
As for Shen Lianxiang, she entered a luxurious room with a mattress that looked to be made of various divine beast furs.
The beautiful figure of the Goddess was lying on the bed, hugging a pillow.
It was truly an indescribable sight because of her beauty. Even Shen Lianxiang blinked her eyes a few times.
"What happened?" The Goddess opened her eyes without changing her position.
Shen Lianxiang calmly replied, "They have been tricked, Qin Yuan gave them a fake Sacred Tree Branch."
Hearing that, the Goddess' charming lips parted while her beautiful face froze, making her look like a statue.
Maybe if she really was a statue she would be fought over by all the men because it would definitely be the prettiest statue.
"Ha ha ha!" When she managed to calm down, she laughed. Her laughter sounded so beautiful, it could definitely make a man drunk.
Shen Lianxiang felt strange with her laughter. In her eyes, the laughter of the Goddess sounded like that of a woman charmed by a man's brilliant actions.
"Go away, I still want to sleep!" said the Goddess, waving her hand to Shen Lianxiang. It seemed she didn't want to discuss this.
...
In the city, the old man that Qin Yuan commanded jumped into action without asking anything.
He knew Qin Yuan was extremely powerful, able to move even the city, so he didn't hesitate at all.
Using his strength, he shouted to gather in the city square.
The people from the other realms didn't know what was going on nor did they really care.
While waiting for them, Qin Yuan walked into a restaurant that was still open.
There was nobody else in the restaurant apart from a middle-aged man with a large build, possessing a Transcendent cultivation. He was holding a long knife used for cutting meat.
It seemed that he also wanted to leave, but canceled it because of the arrival of Qin Yuan and the other two, clearly knowing their strength.
"Wait a moment, ladies and gentlemen, the dish will be ready soon!"
He went into the kitchen after saying that. Just a moment later, there was smoke billowing from the kitchen, it emitted an extremely appetizing aroma.
"This man has some ability," Xi Nichang said, giving a compliment as she smelled the smoke.
Of course, that was extremely high praise for the man as she was only a Transcendent, nothing more than an ant in Xi Nichang's eyes.
"But huh, you dare choose to relax in a situation like this," she added as she sat down.
Qin Yuan ignored her as she brought it up again, he looked at his daughter and asked, "how do you feel now, did you feel enlightened while you were here?"
"It's quite helpful!" Qin Wuxin nodded.
After that, she suddenly stared at the location of the Moon Star King's battle.
Incomparably awe-inspiring stars continued to appear there, radiating boundless power and destroying everything. Qin Yuan himself was amazed by the sight as his star strength was also not as good as that man's.
"Are you interested in the techniques?" he asked Qin Wuxin.
"I think they will be of great help to my cultivation," the woman replied.
Hearing that, Qin Yuan thought about asking for the Moon Star King's techniques later. He wondered what he needed to give him in order for him to give them to him.
But suddenly, Xi Nichang said, "if you want the techniques of the Moon Star King, I own almost all of them and I have the right to give them to whoever I want."
"Oh!" Qin Yuan and Qin Wuxin stared at her. The first one asked, "You wouldn't ask for something in exchange for those techniques, would you?"
"No, but as a man, I hope you have self-knowledge," Xi Nichang replied.
"Tsk! So you already think of me as a man?" Qin Yuan laughed.
"Do you want them or not?" Xi Nichang was clearly irritated by being teased.
"Please give them to my daughter," Qin Yuan replied.
Qin Wuxin might be uncomfortable that this involved Xi Nichang, she became somewhat doubtful. Xi Nichang himself was the same, looking uncomfortable having to deal with or communicate with Qin Wuxin.
However, she still did as Qin Yuan asked, sending a beam of light towards Qin Wuxin's head.
The latter closed her eyes for up to a minute.
On the other hand, Xi Nichang looked at Qin Yuan again, as if asking what he would give.
"I'm not the type to take advantage of a woman, take this," he said, throwing a tree branch at her, making her eyes open quite wide.
It was smaller than the one Qin Yuan gave Shen Long, but it was still a Sacred Tree Branch.
"Are you sure you're giving this to me?" She asked.
"I don't think I will use it, so it's better used by my people," Qin Yuan replied as he took out another branch. He placed it in Qin Wuxin's hand.
It was much smaller than the one he gave Xi Nichang.
Of course, it wasn't that he didn't prioritize his daughter, she was his top priority, but her cultivation was lower, so there was no point in giving her a bigger branch. The one he gave her was according to her cultivation ability.
Right after that, the restaurant owner finally came out of the kitchen, carrying a fairly large tray.
There was a pile of roast meat on the tray. Their fragrance made Qin Yuan feel like eating immediately.
However, at the same time, he suddenly heard the sound of a powerful explosion far above the sky.
"Bastard, hand over my branch!" An angry shout resounded from the explosion.
Looking up at the sky with his Heavenly Eyes, Qin Yuan discovered an enormous golden dragon, covering the entire sky. It descended upon that city with lightning-like speed.
"What happened?" Xi Nichang stood up and looked confused. She looked at Qin Yuan with a suspicious expression.
Those words were enough to explain that he might have cheated.
"It seems I can't eat now," Qin Yuan said. He waved his hand, making the city disappear. Only he and Xi Nichang were left.
When it finally saw Qin Yuan, the dragon became even faster. Its golden eyes held nothing but the will to kill.
"System, can you help me replenish the energy from the Heaven Moon Jewel?" Qin Yuan asked the System. He needed it because with his strength alone, it would be difficult to defeat Shen Long.
(You need to pay with 10,000 Karma Points.) Replied System.
"Alright, use it!" Qin Yuan didn't care about his Point Karma in this kind of situation.
Ding!
(Order accepted!)
(10,000 Karma Points are used to replenish the Heaven Moon Jewel energy!)
[Karma Points: 3,026,300]
