Ye Xiaolu glance at the stone cauldron, “Did something happen? I don’t see it.”
“I ask that you hold out your arm, gorgeous, and hold the couldront before you breathe on it again.”
The Batman gave it to Ye Xiaolu, who hardly felt its weight.
Ye Xiaolu breathed on it again.
“Many thanks.” The Batman took the cauldron back and dipped some white liquid on it.
Hum~
The cauldron shot out a blinding light as it changed shape into something different.
The cauldron got smaller, turned green, and looked to be the texture of wood rather than stone.
The shape was also stunning. It was so impressive no one would want to let it go, not that the intoxicating aroma coming from it wasn’t doing that already.
Ye Xiaolu blinked, “Stone turned wood. A broken cauldron into a good cauldron. Did my breath has something to do with it?”
“Of course it has. It’s all thanks to the lady that the cauldron is restored.”
“The agarwood cauldron from the Lost Age is made of an extinct tree. A single whiff of its aroma can bring out the youth in a person, maintain their appearance and can even prolong life by dozens of years while using it. “
The shop owner jumped over, “Guest, I’ll pay ten thousand god crystal coins for the wooden cauldron!”
“Ha-ha-ha.” The Batman laughed.
Ye Xiaolu stuck out her tongue.
Ten coins turned ten thousand, talk about a steal.
“I won’t sell it regardless of price. I finally found a green agarwood cauldron, and it’s all thanks to the lady here. With a beauty helping me, my luck has turned.“
The Batman Yu Buyi gave the cauldron to Ye Xiaolu.
“It is all thanks to this angel that I could find the cauldron. A beauty must have beautiful things. Please take it, miss.”
“What? You’re just giving it?”
“Yes.”
“Thanks.”
Ye Xiaolu had no restraint, taking the agarwood cauldron for herself and caress it.
“May I know the lady’s illustrious name?”
“I am Ye… Ye Tianxian. Yes, Tianxian!”(T/N: lit. immortal)
“A beautiful name for a beautiful woman.” The Batman showered praises.
“You’re quite the charmer. Sister likes it.”
“Sister? Ha-ha-ha, even how you call yourself is adorable.”
Li Mo found it harder and harder to keep his forced smile.
“May I ask, where does miss Tianxian will be staying?”
“It’s undecided yet.”
“Oh.”
Yu Buyi mulled, then gave her a golden paper.
“And what’s this?”
“This is Ancient Planet’s invitation for the yearly Lost Era Auction. It will start ten days from now. I would like for miss Tianxian to join me.”
Ye Xiaolu pointed at him, “You and me? We barely know each other.”
Li Mo rolled his eyes, ‘Yet you just accept things from strangers?’
Yu Buyi was awkward, “Can’t we get to know each other better?”
“We can, but do you have another invitation? Give it here.”
Yu Buyi glanced at Li Mo, “And he would be?”
“My lil’ bro.”
“Oh, alright.”
Yu Buyi bought it and relaxed, while also giving Ye Xiaolu another invitation.
“This invitation costs a hundred thousand god crystal coins, right?”
Li Mo said as he put his hand around Ye Xiaolu’s shoulders.
“The f*ck are you doing?” Ye Xiaolu felt uneasy.
“What?” Yu Buyi didn’t quite catch Earth’s colorful ‘expressions’.
“Oh nothing. Thanks.”
“Oh.”
“Sorry, but we still have matters to attend to. Bye.”
Li Mo dragged Ye Xiaolu away.
“Oh my, are you jealous?” Ye Xiaolu said amused.
“As if. More like revolted.”
Leaving Ancient Rare Antiques, Li Mo breathed in and out a few times.
“Are these invitations really a hundred thousand god crystal coins a pop?”
Li Mo nodded.
“S***, he’s filthy rich.
“Quite nice.”
Ye Xiaolu fiddled with the cauldron.
“And upright too.”
Li Mo walked on.
“Is that all you have to say?”
Ye Xiaolu ran after him.
“What else is there?”
“Didn’t you hug me out of jealousy?”
“I thought I told you I was revolted.”
“The guy is loaded, and a hunk. How is he revolting?”
“Good point.” Li Mo nodded.
“F*ck you! Spit it out already!” Ye Xiaolu rushed over.
Li Mo didn’t mean anything by his gesture really, “For a Lost Era’s artifact to restore one’s appearance it needs many bizarre ways to activate it.”
Ye Xiaolu nodded, “Breathing on it sure is one.”
“I don’t know about breathing, but when the agarwood cauldron activated, it had nothing to do with breathing.”
“So why have me do it? S***, to hit on me?”
“You’re not so dumb after all.”
“You’re the dumb one, while I am playful and clever.”
“When he activated the cauldron, he used reality drug, that white vial. Its price would shock the world, a hundred thousand god crystal coins at the least.”
“How much is this cauldron then?”
“Thirty thousand.”
“Isn’t that a loss?”
“Of course it is. But he already knew this outcome before he even used that drug.
“His sonar trait is sharp.”
“A hundred thousand water vial used on a thirty thousand cauldron. He sure doesn’t stint when flirting…”
“But lighten up, lil’ Mo, I am clever and crafty. He will never have me.”
“I would’ve actually found it better if he had.”
“You like green caps, perhaps?”
“You wear them!”
“Do you know the biggest difference between humans and Batmen?”
“Wings?”
“It’s their member. Ever saw a studded mace?“
“Go. F*ck. Yourself!”
“Really, it’s not only identical, but the studs are quite pointy too…”
“Go. F*ck. Yourself!”
“I still think you should try it.”
“Go. F*ck. Yourself!”
Li Mo laughed and entered the carriage.
An hour later Li Mo arrived at a hotel called Ancient Residence.
Ancient Residence was part of Gu Yiming’s business, and opulent to extreme. Gawking at the hundred kilometer tall building, Ye Xiaolu whispered to Li Mo about the price.
“Ten thousand a night.”
“Are we that rich?”
“We can always sell the carriage.”
Li Mo called a teller and pointed at the mandarin duck carriage.
“Take it to the auction, with a starting price of ten thousand god crystal coins. Deliver the payment to room 10000007 in Ancient Residence.”
“Understood, sir.”
The gaudy carriage flew away.
Ye Xiaolu went bleary eyed.
“How much is our carriage worth?”
“Don’t know, but should go for a couple of ten thousand god crystal coins.”
“Ha-ha-ha, how amusing, brother. Look, they’re broke yet still want to stay at Ancient Residence so he sold off his carriage. Ha-ha-ha, I can’t take it.”
Li Mo and Ye Xiaolu checked in when they heard laughter behind them.
“What damn business does us selling have to do with you?” Ye Xiaolu flared.
The two laughing looked practically human. But that was where the similarities stopped. Their hair and forehead were a dead giveaway. With the heaven character marked on their foreheads and fiery long hair.
They were Celestial Fire aliens.
On Ancient Planet, aliens from Nine-headed race and Celestial Fire race were everywhere. But here, every race was treated equally, no exceptions.
The mocking one, Huo Sangzi looked at Ye Xiaolu blankly.
One had to admit, no matter how dumb was the Elven Queen, her looks would win her a miss universe contest.
“Silver Armor, is your slave for sale?”
Huo Sangzi stared at Ye Xiaolu.
Celestial Fire race had one particular ‘quality’, their men were horndogs.
“Go see if your mom’s for sale. I’m buying!” Ye Xiaolu was never one to step down from a threat.
“Oh, how feisty. But I like it. I just love taming a wild horse.”
Huo Sangzi raised two fingers, “Two hundred thousand god crystal coins for one night with you.”
“Ask your mother!”
Ye Xiaolu slapped. Huo Sangzi saw it, but smiled instead of dodging.
Bang!
Huo Sangzi spun around a few times, coming back to his senses after a long, long while.
