396: Chapter 406 A Straight Man of Steel! Are You Going to Be My Enemy?!

As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes in the room instantly focused on Su Mo.

Su Mo, who had been zoning out, raised an eyebrow. He subconsciously pointed at his own face, his expression one of utter bewilderment.

"Me??"

"Yes!" Pei Qingnan's pretty face flushed slightly.

Although she had a lively and bold personality, making such a request in public still made her feel a bit embarrassed, as any girl would be.

Su Hao and Su Dao were also full of curiosity, wondering what this Goddess was up to.

"I have two tickets to the Radiant Star Sea. As long as you are willing to accompany me, I will have my Family do everything in their power to help you find your person!" Pei Qingnan mustered her courage and said directly.

"Qingnan! Didn't you say that the other ticket was reserved for me?" Zhu Ziqiu, who was standing nearby, widened her beautiful eyes upon hearing this. She looked at her best friend, feeling like a clown who had been heartlessly abandoned.

"Oh, next time. I'll take you next time I get one." Pei Qingnan decisively prioritized romance over friendship and waved her hand.

"Radiant Star Sea? What is that?" Su Mo scratched his head in confusion, then subconsciously added another sentence.

"Can you get stronger by going there??"

At this, Zhu Ziqiu resisted the urge to call him a brute and patiently explained:

"It is a dreamland created by the Dominator of the Brilliant Star Domain, Empress Fanyin. A single ticket is worth over ten billion supreme divine crystals on the black market! And that's a price without a market—you can't even buy one!"

"Hiss—"

Hearing this number, Su Hao and Su Dao couldn't help but gasp.

Although they had just looted the treasury of the Myriad Poison Demon Sect, this price was still too exaggerated; it was enough to bankrupt an ordinary Saint Family.

"Oh? It's that expensive?!" Su Mo's eyes instantly lit up.

"Then it must be a good place! Can you get stronger there? Are there a lot of experts fighting?"

Zhu Ziqiu felt like she was about to faint from anger at this guy who only had muscles in his brain.

"You can't get stronger! It's a symbol of status, do you understand?! The Radiant Star Sea is the most beautiful place in the entire Great Thousand Star Domain. Countless people spend their entire lives just to catch a glimpse, and they would die without regrets!"

"Can't get stronger, can't fight, so what's the point of going there? To look at the scenery?" Su Mo immediately lost interest and waved his hands frantically.

"Not going, not going! Even if the Heavenly King himself came, I wouldn't go!"

Seeing this, Su Hao quickly grabbed Su Mo, who was about to turn and leave, and smiled apologetically at Pei Qingnan and Zhu Ziqiu.

"Don't mind him, young ladies. My second brother is a bit dense; let me talk to him."

Su Hao turned his head, draped an arm over Su Mo's shoulder, and began to persuade him earnestly.

"Second Brother, this is a ticket worth over ten billion supreme divine crystals. There's a reason why it's expensive."

"Pfft~~ Not going! Being rich is a big deal, is it?!" Su Mo was unimpressed and looked disdainful.

"What kind of attitude is that?!" Su Hao's expression hardened, and he reprimanded him in a low, grief-stricken voice.

"Have you forgotten how Father, in order to earn Cultivation resources for us, endured the humiliation of crawling between Lady Shen's legs without a hint of fear?!"

"If Father could humble himself like that for us, what is this tiny sacrifice of yours compared to Father's?!"

Su Mo's breath hitched. He had heard about this "humiliating" experience from his elders and knew how hard it had been for his old father, Su Feng, back then.

...

Meanwhile. Far away in the Wanxiang Star Domain, Su Feng, who was watching this scene through the tiankui mirror, felt the corners of his mouth twitching wildly.

These brats don't know a damn thing! It's obvious they've been too well-protected since they were kids!

You have to know that even if a man has to sell himself, he can't be poor!!!

In the image, seeing that Su Mo's attitude was wavering, Su Hao continued to up the ante.

"And are you just going to ignore Little Brother Xuan?!"

"Miss Pei has already said that as long as you accompany her, she will use her Family's connections to help us find him. You can't put your own interests above Little Brother Xuan's safety, can you?!"

It must be said, the tactic of moral kidnapping worked exceptionally well on the guilt-ridden Su Mo.

Upon hearing Su Hao say this, Su Mo's expression changed.

He clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and finally squeezed a few words through them.

"Fine! For Little Brother Xuan, I'll go!"

"That's more like it!" Su Hao patted Su Mo's shoulder heavily.

But he felt helpless inside. They said that their Second Mother, Yan Ling'er, was the smartest and wisest of all their father's wives, so why was the son she gave birth to such a hopeless romantic fool?

Seeing that Su Mo had finally nodded in agreement, Pei Qingnan was instantly all smiles, her joy evident in her expression.

"Give me the portrait and aura information of the person you are looking for, and I will send it back to my Family immediately!"

Su Dao didn't dare to delay and immediately condensed all of Su Xuan's information into a Jade Slip and handed it to Pei Qingnan.

Pei Qingnan didn't dawdle either. She immediately used a secret technique to transmit the contents of the Jade Slip back to her Family's intelligence department and, using her highest authority as a Goddess, issued a sky-high bounty.

Only enough profit could ignite the enthusiasm of those intelligence brokers.

After getting all this done, Pei Qingnan walked two steps closer to Su Mo. Feeling the wild and domineering aura emanating from him, her heart began to race.

She took a deep breath, looked into Su Mo's eyes, and said seriously:

"Su Mo... actually, I... don't want to just be friends with you..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly became ambiguous.

Su Hao and Su Dao immediately exchanged a glance, a silent understanding passing between them.

"It seems Second Brother is going to complete the task Father gave us before we do," Su Hao transmitted via telepathy.

"Yeah, I really couldn't tell. This dense fool actually has such great charm!" Su Dao's tone was filled with emotion.

Zhu Ziqiu helplessly covered her forehead, speechless in her heart.

"They say that the Inner Demon Tribulation of the mortal world is the hardest to overcome, and it's truly the case! I'm afraid Qingnan is going to fall for this battle maniac this time..."

Even Little Bell, who was tidying up the counter at the front desk, revealed a knowing smile. She felt that this heroic-looking Sister Pei and that very powerful Brother Su Mo looked like a perfect match standing together.

...

Outside the tiankui mirror, Su Feng also revealed a fatherly smile.

He didn't expect that Su Mo, the martial fanatic who seemed the least likely to find a Dao Companion, would actually be the first among his brothers to open his heart.

Moreover, the System had just prompted him that both Goddesses on the screen were SSS-level targets!

"Not bad. Now my cultivation has a path forward again," Su Feng nodded with satisfaction.

However, Su Mo, the person involved, had his expression change abruptly after hearing Pei Qingnan's words!

His muscles instantly tensed up, and his Battle Intent soared in his dark red eyes as he stared fixedly at Pei Qingnan in front of him.

"What? You don't want to be friends with me!!"

"Then... do you wish to be my enemy?!"
