Qing Ling...

Upon hearing the bell, Luo Feng’s mind stirred, and he turned to look behind him.

Beside him was a wooden stall, adorned with various jewelry. Hanging on the rack was a pair of bells, swaying in the breeze and emitting a crisp, pleasant sound.

"Luo Feng, what’s wrong?"

Yang Wanyi noticed Luo Feng’s gaze and asked.

Luo Feng exhaled gently, shaking his head: "It’s nothing."

The sound of the bell just reminded him of Qing Ling.

It’s been nearly two months since their parting in Azure Sky City. He wondered how that little girl was doing. However, with Yingkui around, there shouldn’t be any real problems.

Yang Wanyi cast a suspicious glance at Luo Feng, then turned her bright eyes toward the stall. Her eyes lit up slightly as she stepped forward gracefully, extending her fair and delicate wrist to pick up a light red bracelet from the stand.

The bracelet was entirely transparent, with streaks of crimson light flashing through it, looking extremely beautiful, like the deep starry sky at night, and emitting an astonishing wave of Fire Yuan Qi.

"Miss, you truly have an eye for treasures. This Red Star Bracelet is crafted from the essence of the thousand-meter underground red gold flame rock, wearing it can temper the martial artist’s muscles and bones. If one practices Fire Series Cultivation Techniques, it can even enhance the cultivation effect and martial arts power." Seeing business was at hand, the middle-aged martial artist behind the stall immediately introduced enthusiastically.

Yang Wanyi put on the bracelet, turned to Luo Feng, and asked, "What do you think?"

Luo Feng glanced at it; the bracelet complimented Yang Wanyi’s fair wrist, adding an elegant charm, and since she was practicing the Daluo Golden Flame Skill, which was a Fire Series Cultivation Technique, he nodded and said:

"Not bad, it suits you well."

Yang Wanyi smiled faintly, her eyes shining like stars, then asked, "How many Yuan Stones for this bracelet?"

The middle-aged martial artist adjusted his beard and said, "Eighty-six thousand second-grade Yuan Stones."

Upon hearing this, Yang Wanyi slightly furrowed her delicate brows, stared at the bracelet for a moment, then apologized with a smile to the middle-aged martial artist before gently placing the bracelet back on the rack.

Luo Feng said, "This Red Star Bracelet is nice, why not buy it?"

"The Business Alliance Conference is coming soon, and there will be many places where Yuan Stones are needed. Better leave the bracelet for later."

Yang Wanyi shook her head slightly, despite having some savings, there would be a massive auction after the Business Alliance Conference with many treasures, where money would flow like water.

"It’s only eighty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones, let me get it for you. Consider it a return gift for the Fire Qilin Jade Pendant you gave me before."

Luo Feng flicked his finger, and a wooden box appeared beside him, containing a hundred thousand second-grade Yuan Stones.

To him, eighty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones was not a significant amount. From what he gathered from the demon sect stronghold and the wealth he acquired along the way, he possessed over five million second-grade Yuan Stones, not including secret manuals, making him wealthier than most True Yuan Realm martial artists.

"No need, you still need to buy a third-grade storage ring. But thank you anyway."

Seeing Luo Feng decisively take out the Yuan Stones, a faint smile appeared on Yang Wanyi’s lips, yet she shook her head.

Luo Feng was about to speak when a hearty voice suddenly came from the side. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Waner, it’s just a mere eighty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones. Since you fancy this bracelet, let me gift it to you."

Along with the voice, two figures emerged from the crowd, led by a young man in brocade who casually took out Yuan Stones and handed them to the middle-aged martial artist.

The youth, around eighteen or nineteen years old, was of ordinary appearance, wearing ornate clothes, his belt adorned with jewels, projecting an air of wealth, yet his face was rather pale. His eyes, burning with desire, were fixed on Yang Wanyi, with an unmistakable glimmer of possessiveness hidden deep within.

Seeing the youth, Yang Wanyi’s delicate brows slightly furrowed, with a hint of consideration she said:

"Zhouyan, what a coincidence to meet you here."

The youth’s expression stiffened briefly, then swiftly hid it, smiling: "Indeed, quite the coincidence. I never expected to see you here either. It seems we are truly fated."

The newcomer was Zhouyan, the current Family Head of Heavenly Position Business Line, curious about the young man accompanying Yang Wanyi to Big Market City. Upon hearing of Luo Feng and Yang Wanyi leaving Dayang Commerce Alliance, he followed them here.

"This person is indeed the current Family Head of Heavenly Position Business Line."

Hearing their conversation, Luo Feng looked at Zhouyan, assessing him briefly. Zhouyan’s aura was slightly stronger than Yang Wanyi’s, level seven mid-stage Spiritual Rotation Realm cultivation. But when Luo Feng’s gaze fell on the elderly man in black robes behind Zhouyan, his sight steadied.

The elderly man, thin and frail-looking, was entirely covered in a black robe, his appearance concealed, yet those eyes emitted a chilling coldness, creating an uncomfortable sensation. Luo Feng sensed this person’s aura was more dangerous than the Elder Zhou Yuan he encountered before, a level eight mid-stage Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artist.

"No need, I feel this bracelet doesn’t suit me." Yang Wanyi calmly refused, not taking the bracelet handed over by Zhouyan.

Zhouyan raised his eyebrows, his cold eyes glanced at Luo Feng, and said, "Didn’t you like it very much just now?"

"That was then, now I don’t like it." Yang Wanyi said expressionlessly.

Zhouyan’s face completely stiffened. When Luo Feng wanted to give the bracelet, Yang Wanyi showed no sign of refusal; but when he gave it, he was rejected so coldly. This made him feel very embarrassed.

Zhouyan took a deep breath and said to the middle-aged martial artist, "Take out the best bracelet you have here."

"Yes."

The middle-aged martial artist came to his senses, quickly took down a jade-green bracelet. The bracelet was entirely jade-green, inlaid with a small cyan demon core, and as soon as it appeared, a refreshing sensation permeated the air, exceedingly beautiful, and from the material, it was definitely not commonplace.

The middle-aged martial artist handed the bracelet to Zhouyan and said, "Young Master Zhou, this is the best bracelet in our store. The Wood Spirit Bracelet, crafted from the Xuanqing spirit jade found ten thousand miles below the waters of the North Sea. The demon core inlaid is from the demon core of a top-level seventh-grade demon beast, the Flying Scaled Sea Demon. Wearing it greatly enhances the recovery of Yuan Qi for martial artists. It’s valued at one hundred and fifty-two thousand second-grade Yuan Stones..."

"Alright, this is perfect."

Before the middle-aged martial artist finished introducing it, Zhouyan impatiently waved his hand, took the bracelet, and said eagerly, "Waner, since you don’t like the Red Star Bracelet, how about this Wood Spirit Bracelet?"

Yang Wanyi glanced sideways at the Wood Spirit Bracelet in Zhouyan’s hand and said indifferently, "Sorry, none of these please me. Luo Feng, let’s go."

After finishing, Yang Wanyi naturally took Luo Feng’s arm, paying no mind to Zhouyan’s icy gaze, and turned to leave.

Watching Yang Wanyi lean on Luo Feng, Zhouyan’s face instantly turned livid, with veins throbbing violently on his forehead.

Luo Feng felt helpless inside, but could only follow by Yang Wanyi’s side and turn to leave. As they passed by each other, he glanced at Zhouyan, his eyes slightly moved.

Those eyes were extremely cold, with an unmistakable killing intent hidden within.

"Young Master Zhou, do you still want this Wood Spirit Bracelet?" After Luo Feng and Yang Wanyi left, the middle-aged martial artist cautiously asked.

"I want nothing of this sort! This kind of trash, asking for one hundred and fifty-two thousand second-grade Yuan Stones, even at one Yuan Stone, I wouldn’t look at it!" Zhouyan snorted coldly, waving his hand and smashing the bracelet onto the vendor.

The middle-aged martial artist hurriedly grabbed the bracelet, feeling pained, yet daring not to speak out in anger.

He was a martial artist at the late stage of the seventh level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm and did not fear Zhouyan, but the black-robed elder behind Zhouyan made him very apprehensive. This person was surnamed Qi, one of the three great elders of Heavenly Position Business Line, at the mid-stage of the eighth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, the eldest in qualification among the three great elders, never seen striking.

It’s said that those who saw him strike never saw the sun the next day...

"Family Head, it seems Elder Zhou Yuan indeed missed them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so calm." Watching the direction Luo Feng and Yang Wanyi left, the black-robed elder said hoarsely.

Zhouyan nodded, his gaze sinister, and asked in a deep voice, "Elder Qi Yuan, do you know who this Luo Feng is?"

The black-robed elder said, "Judging by his age and cultivation, he should be the newly rising genius Luo Feng of Linglong Hall. The last time I went to Dayang City, I heard a rumor that Luo Feng and Yang Wanyi are already engaged. But I’m not sure if it’s true..."

"Is that so?"

Zhouyan sneered coldly and snorted, "Elder Qi Yuan, I don’t want this kid to see tomorrow’s sun!"

The black-robed elder frowned slightly and said, "Family Head, if you want to kill this man, it’s easy; however, it might alarm the masters residing at Dayang Commerce Alliance, and then taking away Yang Wanyi..."

Zhouyan understood the meaning and pondered slightly, waving his hand, "Forget it, killing this kid can be done anytime. First, settle the matter with that girl Yang Wanyi tonight; she dared to deliberately humiliate me, and tonight I will make her know what it costs to offend Zhouyan. Elder Qi Yuan, I entrust this matter to you."

"Yes."

The corners of Zhouyan’s mouth curled into a sinister smile, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.

On the bustling street, the sound of bargaining was incessant; frequently seen were pairs of youthful men and women coming and going, with the crisp laughter of women adding more vitality to the prosperous night.

"That person just now is the current Family Head of Heavenly Position Business Line, Zhouyan. His cultivation seems not low." Luo Feng walked beside Yang Wanyi and said.

Yang Wanyi nodded slightly, "In terms of potential, this person can be considered a talent. But unfortunately, he loves women too much, spends all his time on leisurely pleasures."

Speaking of this, Yang Wanyi’s willow eyebrows furrowed with a hint of distaste.

Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask, "His cultivation is higher than yours, in the third round of the Business Alliance Conference martial arts competition, if you face him, are you confident to win?"

"Don’t worry, his breakthrough to the mid-stage of the seventh level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm is largely due to rich resources and lacks foundation. My Daluo Golden Flame Skill has broken through to the seventh level; he is no match for me."

Yang Wanyi’s face showed confidence, then as if remembering something, said, "Zhouyan is vindictive; he might take out his anger on you tonight, be careful."
