296: Chapter 296 Classic Useless Boyfriend-Breaking Story? You're Unlucky to Have Met Me!

Hearing the pleasant notification sound of the System in his mind, Cao Kun was instantly overjoyed.

"Oh my, an unexpected harvest. I was wondering why there was a magpie chirping the moment I stepped out; turns out someone was rushing over to deliver a gift."

"I love plundering the beauties of others! Especially these self-important Children of Luck; stepping on them feels absolutely top-tier!"

Following the guidance arrow of the System, his gaze glanced seemingly casually toward the corner of the staircase leading from the second floor to the first floor.

That layer of black robe, which blocked Divine Sense, was merely a formality before Cao Kun's Heavy Pupils. His gaze pierced directly through the black robe, locking onto the young Face below that was full of jealousy and gnashing teeth.

Not only that, Cao Kun also discovered the ancient black iron ring worn on his finger. Under the truth-seeing vision of his Heavy Pupils, the space inside the ring was completely exposed. Inside, an elderly Soul with a faint aura was sitting cross-legged.

"Yo, a Trash counterattack trope with a built-in grandpa? Tsk, classic." Cao Kun sneered inwardly.

Hiding an old man in a ring, carrying a blood feud, having blind fools jump out to get their Faces slapped wherever he goes, and then picking up treasures and collecting a harem along the way.

"Tsk, this leek looks very plump. It would be a disservice to the System's arrangement not to harvest it." Cao Kun withdrew his gaze, his eyes rolled, and mischievous thoughts bubbled up.

In order to quickly enrage this Child of Luck hiding in the shadows and complete the first phase of the task, he looked down at the delicate and enticing Pei Qinglan in his arms. He deliberately raised his voice slightly to ensure that the person at the corner of the staircase could hear clearly.

"Chief Manager Pei, you haven't come to find me after being in seclusion for so long. Have you missed your Young Master?"

How could Pei Qinglan know that Cao Kun was using her as bait to fish? Blown by Cao Kun's hot breath, she felt her earlobes soften, and a tingling sensation spread throughout her body. If not for Cao Kun holding her waist, she might not have been able to stand steady.

She lifted her bright and moving Face, her Phoenix eyes overflowing with affection, gazing infatuatedly at Cao Kun. "I have..." "Qinglan... Qinglan has been missing Young Master day and night."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but bite her rosy lower lip, her voice delicate and soft. "If Young Master doesn't believe me, you can go to the VIP room upstairs in a moment and verify it yourself~ Qinglan will definitely satisfy Young Master."

These blatant, bold words, without any concealment, floated word for word into the ears of Xiao Chen at the corner of the staircase. Xiao Chen's mind buzzed. It was like being struck by lightning.

"Bitch!!!" Xiao Chen roared in his heart, his eyes turning blood red. The important matter she mentioned upstairs was running down here to have an affair with this pretty boy?!

He thought this woman had brilliant business acumen and was playing hard-to-get with him! It turned out she was just in a hurry to come down and throw herself into another man's arms!

For this pretty boy, she actually didn't even want the transaction for the true dragon marrow! She didn't even have the patience to listen to one more word from him!

In Xiao Chen's view, this was not just ignoring him; it was simply throwing his dignity on the ground and trampling it!

Inside the ring, Elder Yan sensed that Xiao Chen's emotions were completely out of control and shouted anxiously: "Chen'er! Don't be impulsive! This is someone else's territory, do not act on impulse!"

But at this moment, how could Xiao Chen listen to even half a word of advice? "I don't care who he is! Those who humiliate me must pay the price!"

He strode out from the corner of the staircase. Before he even reached the center of the hall, his voice full of anger and questioning had already resounded throughout the first floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

"Pavilion Master Pei!!!" Xiao Chen pointed at Pei Qinglan, who was snuggled tightly in Cao Kun's arms, and shouted sternly: "Our transaction hasn't even been settled yet, yet you left the table halfway for a pretty boy!"

"Is the rule of the Treasure Pavilion just child's play?!"

This shout directly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. The Cultivators who were originally selecting Magic Treasures stopped their actions one after another. They looked at this suddenly appearing black-robed person with Faces full of shock.

Seeing this, the manager of the first-floor hall broke out in a cold sweat. Daring to shout in the main pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion and daring to be disrespectful to the Vice Pavilion Master, this was simply tired of living! The manager's Face sank, and he was about to step forward to reprimand and drive the person away. "Presumptuous! Where did this madman come from..."

"Step back." Hearing this ill-timed roar, the coquettishness on Pei Qinglan's Face disappeared without a trace. She straightened her body from Cao Kun's arms and neatly tidied up the slightly messy collar of her qipao.

The next second, the personal maid who called herself a servant in front of Cao Kun was gone. She had transformed back into that Body Integration Stage expert who held the power of the Central Plains Treasure Pavilion! The speed of the Face change made even Cao Kun call her an expert.

Pei Qinglan looked coldly at Xiao Chen, her tone stiff. "Senior, Qinglan said it very clearly upstairs, we will talk another day." "Is it that you don't understand human language, or do you think my Treasure Pavilion is easy to bully?"

She took a step forward, the sound of her high heels striking the floor crisp and oppressive. "Your Excellency forced your way into the first-floor hall, shouted loudly, and even verbally insulted my Young Master!" "Do you really think the Treasure Pavilion is your backyard, where you can act wildly if you want?!"

Boom! The spiritual power of the Body Integration Stage poured out and pressed onto Xiao Chen's shoulders. Xiao Chen only had the cultivation of the Early Void Refinement Stage; even if he could fight above his level by using all his trump cards, facing the solid pressure of the Body Integration Stage, he felt his chest tighten and his Face turned pale.

But he gritted his teeth and held on stubbornly, not retreating even half a step. The surrounding Cultivators began to whisper.

"Who is this black-robed person? So bold to dare to cause trouble at the main pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion?" "Judging by the cultivation, it's only the Early Void Refinement Stage. Maybe his brain is flooded." "Vice Pavilion Master Pei just called that young man Young Master! This black-robed person dares to call him a pretty boy; isn't this courting death?"

Listening to the surrounding discussion, the sense of humiliation in Xiao Chen's heart grew even stronger. He glared at Pei Qinglan and sneered. "Good! What a Treasure Pavilion! What a high and mighty Vice Pavilion Master Pei!"

In order to regain Face and to intimidate that pretty boy holding Pei Qinglan, Xiao Chen decided not to hide anymore. He wanted to let this woman who despised the poor and loved the rich know what kind of heaven-sent Opportunity she had missed!

"I originally wanted to act low-key, to leave you some Face, and not to make things too extreme!" "Since you are so unappreciative, then open your eyes wide and see clearly!"

Xiao Chen raised his right hand. A flash of light appeared in his palm. An ice jade box engraved with complex formation patterns appeared in his hand. "Besides that Nine-Turn Bone-Gathering Pill, this old man has one more item here!"

Xiao Chen pointed a finger and flipped open the lid of the jade box. Hum! Extremely scorching spiritual power fluctuations rippled out from Xiao Chen as the center. The temperature in the hall soared, and the air was scorched until it twisted and deformed.

I saw that in the jade box, a cluster of eerie blue flames was floating quietly. The flame was only the size of a thumb, yet it seemed to contain the power to destroy the world. As the flames jumped, a ferocious fire flood dragon phantom was faintly roaring and hissing within it.

"Seventh-Grade Exotic Fire! Flood Dragon Heart Flame!" In the corner of the hall, a Sixth-Grade Artifact Refiner who was somewhat famous in the Central Plains stood up in shock. "Heavens! It's actually a fire seed of a Seventh-Grade Exotic Fire!"

"This is a supreme treasure that is priceless! It is rumored that once a Seventh-Grade Exotic Fire appears, even Body Integration Stage experts will enter the fray to fight for it!" "What is the background of this black-robed person? To be able to casually take out such a level of heaven and earth wonder!"

The Cultivators who were originally laughing at Xiao Chen for being a greenhorn all gasped in unison. Their eyes were filled with unconcealable shock.

Listening to the exclamations and praises of the people around him, Xiao Chen's tense cheeks finally relaxed. His vanity was greatly satisfied at this moment.

He held that cluster of eerie blue flames high, looking provocatively at Pei Qinglan. "Pavilion Master Pei, these two items combined are more than enough to exchange for a drop of your true dragon marrow, right?" "For this pretty boy just now, you missed out on such a rare treasure of the world!" "Now, do you regret it?"
