129: Heavenly treasure
Inside the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, peals of laughter were directed at Ma Yangbo, who lay on the ground.
The dignified Ma Family scion was shamed to such an extent today.
This young man named Ye Kong was truly arrogant!
Ma Yangbo's eyes were red with fury, his gaze filled with murderous intent towards Ye Kong.
In contrast, Ye Kong's expression remained as understated as ever.
He didn't even bother to look at guys like Ma Yangbo, who tried to throw their weight around just because of their status.
Putting away the Purple Yang Jade in his hand.
Ye Kong calmly flicked his sleeve and was about to leave.
At the front of the shop, the onlookers were still chattering.
With Ye Kong's status as a Divine Son, how dare Ma Yangbo, this ignorant fellow, provoke him?
He must be tired of living!
These words were whispered, their sounds very low.
Ma Yangbo, lying on the ground, didn't hear them at all.
At this moment, he was completely blinded by rage.
He didn't care what Ye Kong's identity was!
He stole his beloved item, he stole his beloved woman!
If this grudge wasn't repaid, how could Ma Yangbo continue to mix in this commercial street?
Gazing at Ye Kong's departing back, watching Lin Yaer tightly clinging to his arm beside him.
Ma Yangbo's anger soared!
When my brother finishes attending Ye Liting's birthday party, I will make sure you pay the price, you brat!
Ma Yangbo stumbled to his feet, patting off the dust that had accumulated on his clothes.
By this time, Ye Kong had long since left, and Wang Futai quickly walked to Ma Yangbo's side, bowing respectfully to him.
"Young Master Ma, I'm truly sorry for today..."
Before Wang Futai could finish speaking, Ma Yangbo pushed him away.
"Cut it out. You shamed this young master today, so just wait for your shop to close!"
Wang Futai had intended to apologize properly to Ma Yangbo once Ye Kong left.
After all, the status of this scion was not something a small shop owner like him could afford to offend.
As for Ye Kong, although he was a Divine Son, he didn't frequent this area.
Wang Futai also understood that his relationship with Ye Kong was just a one-time transaction.
In the future, he would mostly deal with Ma Yangbo.
But how could he know Ma Yangbo's feelings for Lin Yaer?
Today's incident had already made Ma Yangbo harbor murderous intent.
Seeing his furious appearance, Wang Futai was so intimidated he couldn't speak.
Ma Yangbo turned around, his brows tightly furrowed.
He scrutinized the cowering Wang Futai in front of him.
Before leaving, he uttered a harsh threat: "If I don't avenge this, I, Ma Yangbo, swear I am not a man!"
...Meanwhile, Ye Kong had already led Lin Yaer a hundred meters away.
On the way, he took out the Purple Yang Jade.
Ye Kong's mind stirred slightly, and the billion-fold enhancement system was immediately activated by him.
"System, help me enhance this jade pendant!"
"[Enhancement item detected. After enhancement, the Purple Yang Jade will reach Heaven Rank Low Grade. Estimated crystals consumption is two hundred million. Host, would you like to start enhancement?]
"Hiss..."
Hearing the System's estimated crystals consumption, Ye Kong felt a pang in his heart.
To celebrate Ye Liting's birthday, it's actually going to cost me two hundred million crystals???
Forget it, a Heaven Rank Low Grade treasure, two hundred million crystals, it's worth the price!
As the saying goes, a thousand gold coins are hard to earn a beauty's smile.
But with a full two hundred million crystals thrown down, let alone a beauty's smile, even a truly cold goddess frozen for ten thousand years would probably be grinning from ear to ear!
"Start enhancement!"
"[Host's request received. Immediately beginning enhancement of the Purple Yang Jade.]
"[Enhancement complete. The Purple Yang Jade has been enhanced to Heaven Rank Low Grade quality. This enhancement consumed two hundred million crystals!]
Looking at the Purple Yang Jade in his hand, whose appearance had subtly changed.
The two hundred million crystals consumed were immediately forgotten by Ye Kong.
This jade pendant, originally entirely purple, now faintly glowed with streaks of golden light on its surface texture.
Looking closely, from its warm luster, one could even discern a surge of energy.
Heaven Rank Low Grade, its quality was indeed extraordinary!
Ye Kong contentedly put the jade pendant into his embrace.
Beside him, Lin Yaer was still tightly holding his arm.
The two had already walked out of the commercial street.
After leaving the noisy place, their steps finally slowed down.
"Ye Kong, thank you for helping me out today!"
Lin Yaer smiled at Ye Kong, her two dimples appearing at the corners of her mouth, a hint of allure emanating from her playful expression.
Looking at Lin Yaer's alluring smile, Ye Kong seemed to understand why Ma Yangbo had pursued her relentlessly.
However, even so, Ye Kong's emotions remained unmoved.
For no other reason than there was still a beautiful woman eagerly awaiting him in the distance.
Ye Kong smiled, calmly saying: "It was just a small favor."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yaer gazed at Ye Kong even more, her face growing redder.
That alluring smile instantly turned to shyness, and she quickly turned away, her heart pounding.
A few days later, at the gate of Wuji City.
Almost all the powerful figures in the entire city, those with any renown, gathered here.
Luxury cars lined up in a long queue.
This trip was to see off Ye Kong, Lin Yaer, and others on their journey to the Capital.
In the crowd, Ye Kong and Lin Yaer stood together.
He had always disliked such boisterous scenes.
"Ye Kong, have you packed all your things?"
Lin Yaer tried hard to find a topic that could bring her closer to Ye Kong.
As soon as she spoke, she looked up and saw Ye Kong nod slightly.
On his incomparably handsome, fair face, not a trace of emotional fluctuation could be seen.
Cultivating to Ye Kong's Realm, he somewhat embodied the sentiment of not being overly joyful about external things nor overly sorrowful about personal misfortunes.
In the distance, Ye Hefan, Ma Yangbo, and others were clustered amidst the flattery of various VIPs.
For such a grand occasion, these few were clearly quite pleased.
Amidst the clinking of glasses, Ma Yangbo suddenly spotted Ye Kong in the distance.
Besides Ye Kong, he also caught sight of Lin Yaer, who was closely following him.
Seeing Lin Yaer's eyes, which only held Ye Kong, he immediately felt a pang in his heart.
Ya'er, why are you so good to that guy?
Ma Yangbo's gaze became forlorn, but soon, his anger towards Ye Kong also surged.
After Ye Liting's birthday, that guy will completely disappear from this world!
Time passed minute by minute.
Soon, the departure time finally arrived!
For this trip to the Capital, Wuji City had prepared special vehicles for Ye Hefan and Ma Yangbo.
They were naturally very satisfied with such a high-profile display.
Just as they were about to board the car, continuous shouts and commotions came from the street.
"How can Wuji City have such a luxurious motorcycle?"
"Don't even mention it, this car looks truly high-end. Forget about buying it, most people probably haven't even seen one!"
"Is this car leaving the city? Why is it heading towards the city gate?" The discussions of the city's residents instantly drew the attention of everyone at the gate.
Before they had even boarded their special cars, Ma Yangbo and Ye Hefan immediately turned their heads.
The next second, they were utterly stunned by the formidable vehicle before them.
This was a luxurious motorcycle that one would ordinarily never see.
Although Ma Yangbo's family was wealthy, they only had the privilege of looking at this level of vehicle.
He had heard his father say that such motorcycles only accommodated experts above the Venerable Realm.
A cold sweat broke out on Ma Yangbo's forehead.
The car windows were completely black, making it impossible to see inside.
Could it be that an expert above the Venerable Realm was sitting in this luxurious motorcycle?
Amidst his surprise, the luxurious motorcycle suddenly stopped.
As the door swung open, a receptionist stepped out.
He humbly scurried to the right side of the motorcycle, took off his top hat.
And respectfully said to the two people in front of him: "Mr. Ye, Young Miss Lin, I am your receptionist for this trip. Please board the car with me, and we will travel to the Capital together!"
As these words came out, Ma Yangbo instantly froze!
This luxurious motorcycle was actually here to pick up that guy???
What exactly was his identity?!
To receive this level of courtesy?!
Ma Yangbo's face was gloomy, his eyes fixed on Ye Kong's side.
Yet Ye Kong's expression remained as calm and composed as ever.
He nodded slightly to the receptionist.
Then, he turned to Lin Yaer beside him and softly said: "Ya'er, let's get in the car."
Lin Yaer had clearly not yet recovered from the shock.
After Ye Kong called her name several times, she finally nodded gently.
After the two got into the car, as the car door closed, Ma Yangbo's composure shattered.
His goddess and the person he disliked the most boarded the luxurious motorcycle together.
Who knew what would happen during this bumpy journey!
"Damn brat..." Ma Yangbo said fiercely.
"Yangbo, why are you just standing there? Get in the car quickly!"
Behind Ma Yangbo, an acquaintance who was sharing his car urged him.
Still feeling unwilling, Ma Yangbo could only calm himself down slightly and, along with his acquaintance, boarded the special car.
This acquaintance was also one of the guests attending the Ye Family Princess's birthday banquet.
His name was Lu Feng, and his strength was on par with Ma Yangbo's.
Inside the car, Lu Feng's expression was relaxed.
It formed a stark contrast with Ma Yangbo's grave face.
The atmosphere in the car was not good, mainly because of Lu Feng's sour face.
Seeing his complicated expression, Lu Feng decided to find some topics to help Ma Yangbo relax.
"I heard that at the Ye Family Princess's birthday banquet this time, almost all the famous Geniuses in the world will gather!"
Listening to Lu Feng's remark, Ma Yangbo's eyes indeed lit up.
He had always been very keen on such casual conversations.
He coughed twice, his earlier fury at Ye Kong completely gone.
Ma Yangbo turned his head to look at Lu Feng.
He smiled happily, putting on an expression like a walking encyclopedia.
"That's right. On the surface, it's the Ye Family Princess's birthday banquet, but secretly, it's a gathering of countless Geniuses!"
"Geniuses from various countries will come to offer congratulations! With countless masters present, this birthday party is destined to be extraordinary!"
Hearing Ma Yangbo's encouragement, Lu Feng's heart also stirred slightly.
"Among these Geniuses, who is the strongest?"
Lu Feng's lips curled into a slight smile as he casually asked Ma Yangbo.
Upon hearing this, Ma Yangbo smiled faintly.
"When it comes to the strongest Genius, it has to be Long Ao!"
