83: Buy a mantra bead and ask him who else he likes!

Ye Hangzhou gave Li Shengyuan a deep look.

He was probably thinking, 'How can there be such a shameless person in this world!'

"Mm."

In the end, he could only nod helplessly. Who told him he was so unlucky as to be seen by him?

The main thing was that this scoundrel actually insisted that he…

Sigh…

Ultimately, everything culminated in a sigh. Thinking of how he was being manipulated by Li Shengyuan, his heart was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.

Unlike the troubled Ye Hangzhou, Li Shengyuan's face was beaming with smiles after receiving his affirmative reply.

Patting Ye Hangzhou's shoulder, Li Shengyuan chuckled, "This isn't me forcing you; you're doing it willingly, right?"

Even though Ye Hangzhou knew of Li Shengyuan's shamelessness, his understanding of it was now refreshed to a new low.

He then turned his head and left. The best way was to have less contact with him!

Li Shengyuan, meanwhile, smiled and instructed his retreating figure, "You can't let anyone else know about this, okay? Only I get the cracked version!"

"Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know!"

Ye Hangzhou didn't wait for Li Shengyuan to finish speaking before directly teleporting away from there…

He was also quite interested in the Truth-telling Pearl, that little gadget.

Although he hadn't touched it personally, nor had he opened it for research, he had already seen through most of it with his powerful soul strength.

While its effect was good, in his opinion, it would at most be effective on cultivators of the Fourth Rank and below.

Those of the Third Rank would probably not react at all.

He wondered if he could research a Truth-telling Pearl that would be effective on those of the Third Rank?

Thinking of this, Ye Hangzhou's heart was filled with motivation, and he directly teleported to his exclusive laboratory on the battleship.

Because he disliked talking, inventing, creating, alchemy, and artifact refining were his hobbies, and he often locked himself in the laboratory.

Watching Ye Hangzhou's departing figure, Li Shengyuan also hummed a little tune with a smile.

This was a good time to absorb the purple and blue attributes he had obtained from Xu Bingying!

The people of Yanwang City at the entrance of the Demon Suppression Division branch were truly too crazy and enthusiastic.

Li Shengyuan dared not leave through the main entrance, so he quietly flew away from the Demon Suppression Division and headed to the cultivation room on the suspended battleship.

Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang must have gone to Yanwang City to play, as they were not on the ship. They probably went shopping in Yanwang City together.

As the most prosperous city in the Northern Territory, many unique Northern Territory features were not found in the capital, and the two women certainly couldn't resist experiencing them.

When they first arrived, the two women were clearly still somewhat at odds, and Li Shengyuan hadn't expected them to become companions so quickly.

But it was good. Princess Pingyang and Aunt Shen were not people who could sit still. With each other's company, he could feel more at ease, and most importantly, he himself could free up time to do other things.

Li Shengyuan was not worried about safety. Although Princess Pingyang's cultivation was still a bit lacking, only at the Sixth Rank,

Aunt Shen, however, was a powerhouse at the Peak Fourth Rank. Few below the Third Rank were her match.

Even he had people following him. As the closest younger sister of the Empress's Senior Sister, Princess Pingyang would naturally not be left unprotected.

Entering the cultivation room, Li Shengyuan quickly entered a state of cultivation.

Xu Bingying's purple attribute [Extremely Easy to Gain Epiphanies] was also a good thing for Li Shengyuan.

High comprehension meant one could quickly grasp the true meaning of something with just a little guidance from others.

An epiphany, on the other hand, was when one was deeply contemplating something, unaffected by external influences, falling into it irresistibly, and thinking with one's whole heart and mind.

His own comprehension was not low, but epiphanies were not something that could happen at any time.

After absorbing Extremely Easy to Gain Epiphanies, he might be able to gain an epiphany and accelerate understanding just by practicing a martial art or comprehending a certain true meaning.

In comparison, the blue attribute level of luck was relatively ordinary for him.

After all, he had already absorbed Liu Xiu's purple attribute level of luck.

Time flew by rapidly as Li Shengyuan absorbed attributes and cultivated.

Everyone on the battleship became busy.

Ye Hangzhou researched the Truth-telling Pearl, while the other mages of the Imperial Observatory continuously refined pills and artifacts, and strengthened the attack and defense of the battleship.

If a cultivator war truly broke out, these resources would be consumed very quickly.

Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang, who were having afternoon tea in a restaurant, also heard about Li Shengyuan handling a case at the Demon Suppression Division.

And the four words he spoke, "Long live the people," also spread rapidly throughout Yanwang City.

"Have you heard about Lord Li's matter at the Demon Suppression Envoy today?"

"I heard! That phrase 'Long live the people' from Lord Li really gave me goosebumps. I'm still surging with emotion now!"

"Yes, Lord Li truly works for us common folk. I heard he personally presided over a trial at the Demon Suppression Division. Someone even asked me to attend the public trial, but I thought it was boring and didn't go. Now I really regret it. If only I could have seen Lord Li's heroic bearing up close."

This person took a sip of tea and couldn't help but sigh repeatedly, and those beside him also nodded in agreement.

"Speaking of that case, it was quite interesting. How could there be such a shameless woman in this world!"

"Thankfully, Lord Li exposed that woman's scheme. I heard he used a magical artifact called the Truth-telling Pearl to make that woman speak. That thing can only tell the truth, and Lord Li's final judgment was truly satisfying!"

"If only I had a Truth-telling Pearl too, then I'd know if my old lady at home loves me for my looks or my talent."

"…"

The restaurant was undoubtedly the fastest place for news to spread.

Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang, sitting by the window on the second floor, heard all the discussions of the people coming and going.

They were almost all discussing Li Shengyuan.

Shen Xinrong looked at the smiling Princess Pingyang and said, "It seems your Li Gege is very popular in the Northern Territory. You're still smiling, Princess Princess Pingyang, aren't you afraid he'll be seduced away?"

Princess Pingyang took a sip of milk tea with a smile and proudly said, "Li Gege is so excellent; it's normal for him to be coveted. Anyway, Sister Xinrong, you're not afraid, so why should I be!"

Even though almost everyone knew about her and Li Shengyuan's matter, Shen Xinrong's charming face still flushed slightly when Princess Pingyang pointed it out directly, as her and Li Shengyuan's statuses were still there.

She couldn't help but let out a coquettish snort, "Don't talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with him. I'm not worried at all!"

Then she said with some longing, "However, the Yuehua Palace's treasure, the Truth-telling Pearl, is quite good."

Princess Pingyang's beautiful eyes also lit up upon hearing this, and various uses for the Truth-telling Pearl appeared in her mind.

"Those two fairies from Yuehua Palace are still in Yanwang City. If we can meet them, we'll buy two from them to play with!"

Shen Xinrong rolled her eyes at her, "That's their sect's unique magical artifact. How could they sell it to you?"

"If they don't sell, it just means the price isn't right!" Princess Pingyang confidently snorted.

Shen Xinrong also nodded noncommittally.

If they won't sell for double or triple the price, then what about ten or dozens of times the price?

Isn't it just a matter of paying more?!

As a princess, the one thing she lacked least was money and cultivation resources.

Just then, another gasp of surprise rang out in the two women's ears.

"Look, those two are the fairies from Yuehua Palace!"

Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang's eyes immediately lit up, and they looked towards where everyone was pointing.

Princess Pingyang excitedly pulled Shen Xinrong and walked towards that direction, excitedly saying,

"Sister Xinrong, let's go quickly! Let's buy a Truth-telling Pearl. We'll go back and ask Brother Shengyuan how many other women he likes!"
