In the quiet inner chamber, there were only Jun Xiaoyao and Xia Bingyun.

Jun Xiaoyao was looking at Xia Bingyun.

Her black hair was as dark as ink, elegantly styled into a graceful bun.

Her skin was as fair as jade, with a radiant glow.

Her features were delicate and charming, her eyes captivating.

Her figure wasn't exaggeratedly curvy, but her curves were graceful, exuding the elegance of a lady.

She emanated an aura of elegant and intellectual beauty.

Noticing Jun Xiaoyao's scrutinizing gaze, Xia Bingyun, unusually, felt a tinge of nervousness.

She had always seen through others, but this time, she felt that Jun Xiaoyao had seen through her.

In front of Jun Xiaoyao, it seemed as if all her secrets were laid bare.

"Why are you nervous? I, the Divine Son, am not a demon. Are you afraid I'll devour you?"

Jun Xiaoyao chuckled softly and sat down.

Hearing this, a blush rose on Xia Bingyun's face.

Those words, why did they sound a bit ambiguous and teasing?

"It's the first time meeting the rumored Divine Son, I can't help but feel nervous," Xia Bingyun said.

"There's no need. Do you know what I want from you?" Jun Xiaoyao tapped the armrest of the chair and said calmly.

"I don't know," Xia Bingyun replied truthfully.

Due to the Treasure Basin, she had many treasures.

However, considering the identity of the Jun Family's Divine Son, she thought there weren't many things on her that would interest Jun Xiaoyao.

"Could it be..." Xia Bingyun suddenly thought of something.

It was a secret known only to her, not even her parents or her sister Xia Chuying knew.

"I, the Divine Son, want one of the Nine Great Celestial Books on you, the Treasure Book!"

As these words fell, Xia Bingyun's delicate body trembled, and her mind roared!

She hadn't imagined that her greatest secret could be discovered by Jun Xiaoyao so easily.

Of course, Xia Bingyun did not know that Jun Xiaoyao already possessed the Body Book and the Void Book.

He could use these two books to sense the Treasure Book on Xia Bingyun.

As for other Celestial Book Controllers, sensing Jun Xiaoyao was impossible.

Because if Jun Xiaoyao didn't want to reveal it, no one could see through him.

"How did Lord Divine Son know?" Xia Bingyun asked curiously.

The Treasure Book was her greatest secret, never revealed to anyone.

"Because I am also a Celestial Book Controller," Jun Xiaoyao said directly.

"I see," Xia Bingyun nodded slightly.

Although she didn't understand how Jun Xiaoyao could sense her Celestial Book through his,

it was naturally Jun Xiaoyao's own method, and she couldn't delve into it.

"Then how did the Divine Son know that Bingyun controls one of the Nine Great Celestial Books, the Treasure Book?" Xia Bingyun continued to ask.

"Is the Emperor's Treasure Basin something you can just pick up?" Jun Xiaoyao smiled.

If that were luck, it would be too good to be true.

"As expected, it can't be hidden from you, Lord Divine Son. Indeed, Bingyun controls the Treasure Book."

Now that the secret was fully exposed, Xia Bingyun couldn't keep it hidden any longer.

She briefly explained the situation.

It turned out that when she was very young, she obtained half of the Treasure Book.

Later, she used the half of the Treasure Book in her possession to find the Emperor's Treasure Basin.

And within the Treasure Basin, was the remaining half of the Treasure Book.

The Nine Great Celestial Books are considered spiritual treasures of Heaven and Earth, which mysteriously find their owners, making them Celestial Book Controllers.

Xia Bingyun is the controller of the Treasure Book.

"So now, I, the Divine Son, want this extremely precious Treasure Book. Will you hand it over?" Jun Xiaoyao asked, looking at Xia Bingyun.

He had long decided to collect all Nine Great Celestial Books.

Jun Xiaoyao vaguely sensed that there was also a great secret behind the Nine Great Celestial Books.

There are even rumors that if one gathers all Nine Great Celestial Books, they can glimpse the path to immortality.

Of course, rumors are just rumors, as no one has ever gathered all Nine Great Celestial Books.

You could say that such precious treasures as the Nine Great Celestial Books cannot be measured by any value.

Someone like Xia Bingyun, a commercial noble family member who specializes in assessing value, should be reluctant to give it away.

However, whether to give it or not is Xia Bingyun's concern.

Jun Xiaoyao was determined to obtain it.

If persuasion didn't work, he would resort to force.

But, to Jun Xiaoyao's surprise, Xia Bingyun hesitated only for a moment before brushing her delicate fingers over the space magic ring on her finger.

A scroll with a gold foil-like texture emerged.

Xia Bingyun held up the scroll with both hands and offered it, saying, "The Treasure Book is here."

"Oh?"

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He took the scroll and, after a brief inspection, could confirm.

This was indeed the real Treasure Book, not a counterfeit.

This decisiveness made Jun Xiaoyao view Xia Bingyun in a different light.

"Such a precious thing, and you just handed it over?" Jun Xiaoyao said with interest.

He had thought he would need to use some force.

"You saved my younger sister, Lord Divine Son, and Bingyun is deeply grateful. It's just a Treasure Book. If the Divine Son wants it, it will naturally be offered." Xia Bingyun showed no sign of reluctance.

"It seems you've probably comprehended most of this Treasure Book already?" Jun Xiaoyao laughed.

After all, Xia Bingyun had obtained half of the Treasure Book when she was young.

No matter how profound the Treasure Book is, Xia Bingyun should have comprehended some of it.

Xia Bingyun admitted, nodding slightly.

The reason she decisively handed over the Treasure Book, apart from wanting to please Jun Xiaoyao, was indeed because she had already understood some of its essence.

Of course, due to Xia Bingyun's talent, she couldn't fully grasp all its essence.

"For whatever reason, you certainly surprised me, the Divine Son." Jun Xiaoyao spoke while unceremoniously storing the Treasure Book in a spatial spiritual artifact.

With this, Jun Xiaoyao had obtained three of the Nine Great Celestial Books.

The Treasure Book of the Nine Great Celestial Books controls the Artifact Dao and possesses the ability to refine artifacts.

When cultivated to the extreme, it can control any divine weapon, and even Emperor's Weapons, and can also take away another's weapon.

Furthermore, the Treasure Book has the ability to sense and search for various treasures and mineral deposits.

This is also why Xia Bingyun could be called a little rich lady.

Besides the help of the Treasure Basin, the Treasure Book also helped Xia Bingyun find many treasures.

"To be able to assist the Divine Son, even in a small way, is Bingyun's honor," Xia Bingyun smiled.

She was a strong woman, extremely capable and shrewd.

Since there was an opportunity to connect with the high branch of Jun Xiaoyao, she naturally wouldn't let it slip away.

"In that case, do you wish to always be loyal to me, the Divine Son?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

These words caused Xia Bingyun to pause for a moment, and then a hint of delight flashed in her beautiful eyes.

With her intelligence, she understood what those words meant.

Actually, earlier, Xia Bingyun was considering in her heart how to establish a relationship with Jun Xiaoyao.

She wanted to propose it, but feared it might backfire, making Jun Xiaoyao displeased and thus ruining everything.

But now, Jun Xiaoyao had taken the initiative to propose, undoubtedly giving her a chance.

"Bingyun is, of course, willing," Xia Bingyun agreed without hesitation.

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes were profound as he said, "You need to think it through. I don't just want you; I want the entire Xia Family to be part of my Monarch Court."

"This means that, to some extent, everything in the Xia Family will belong to the Monarch Court, including those resources and the Emperor's Treasure Basin!"

As he finished speaking, the joy on Xia Bingyun's face froze instantly.

She had thought Jun Xiaoyao wanted to keep her by his side alone.

But she found out that Jun Xiaoyao wanted the entire Xia Family!

Along with all the resources and treasures, including the Emperor's Treasure Basin.

This was simply asking to take over everything from the Xia Family!
