53: Shangguan Yaoyao was so angry that she got embarrassed!

Watching Jiang Lin's retreating figure, a rare hint of complexity appeared in Lin Qingxue's eyes.

She looked at the Heavenly Dao Marriage System in her mind.

“Dao Companion: Jiang Lin”

“Affection: 26 (Extremely Low)”

“Rating: Lowest Grade (Assessment locked, 5 days 14 hours remaining)”

“Rewards Obtained: Heart-Attacking Poison Fire (10 Affection Points), Blazing Flames Burn the Heavens and Boil the Seas Technique (Activation Reward)”

“Hint: Reach 1000 Affection Points to unlock the Great Accomplishment Pill”

To be honest, Lin Qingxue had never truly cared about this System.

Even with its terrifying rewards, she maintained her initial resolve.

She was naturally unrestrained and would not deliberately curry favor with anyone!

Originally, her mental state was the most stable.

But Jiang Lin's words, “Xihua Lin Family, Lin Shenzhi,” disturbed her heart.

Jiang Lin's demeanor, talent, and vision truly amazed her.

If possible, Lin Qingxue truly wished that he really was Lin Shenzhi… how wonderful that would be…

“What's wrong with me?”

“Am I missing the Lin Family too much?”

“This Opportunity is also ridiculous; how could that brat be my Dao Companion?”

“However, he does have some good looks…”

“Stop, stop, what am I thinking?”

“I need to quickly Cultivate the Blazing Flames Burn the Heavens and Boil the Seas Technique and condense my Heart Fire!”

“Heart Fire is divided into four grades: Top, Mid, Low, and Top-Grade. I must Cultivate a Top-Grade Heart Fire!”

......

Walking out of Lin Qingxue's room, Jiang Lin was met by Shangguan Yaoyao.

“Young Master, let me serve you tonight!”

Shangguan Yaoyao's eyes flowed with charm, and her voice was tender.

She was inherently a master of Charm Arts.

Now, she specifically came to please Jiang Lin, every gesture and smile exuding captivating beauty.

Hearing this opening line, Jiang Lin was utterly stunned.

What the heck?

You are the first female lead of this novel.

You are Xiao Dong's childhood sweetheart!

You were willing to sacrifice everything for Xiao Dong in the Late Stage, even your life, and fall into demonhood!

How can you face your Brother Xiao Dong like this now?

“Please, won't you?”

Shangguan Yaoyao pleaded, inching closer to Jiang Lin.

Even though Jiang Lin had Cultivated the Purification Sutra to Mahayana, seeing such a beauty, his heart couldn't help but stir.

But soon, Jiang Lin's eyes became firm. Although he didn't know why she had become like this, he decided to give Shangguan Yaoyao the cold shoulder for a few days.

After all, the harder something is to obtain, the more it will be cherished!

Moreover, Xiao Dong was in the guest room next door.

He wouldn't deliberately provoke that mascot these next few days!

“Ahem, Yao'er, I'm too tired today. Another time!”

Seeing the clarity in Jiang Lin's eyes, Shangguan Yaoyao was furious.

Am I really that unattractive?

I'm like this, and you can still remain rational?

If she hadn't tested Jiang Lin's strength, she would have thought he was impotent.

Outwardly, she continued to provoke Jiang Lin, saying, “Are you impotent?”

Jiang Lin smiled faintly, “Am I impotent? You should know best, shouldn't you?”

Shangguan Yaoyao feigned grievance, “Then why don't you cherish Yao'er? Is it because of that Xia Shirou? She clearly came later…”

Tears glistened in Shangguan Yaoyao's eyes, making her utterly pitiable!

Anyone would be tempted to go up and comfort her!

Just as Jiang Lin didn't know how to respond, Xiao Dong happened to walk out of his room and witnessed this scene.

“Ahem, excuse me, Shen Zhi, I was just passing by! Passing by!”

Xiao Dong hurriedly explained.

Seeing this, Jiang Lin quickly said, “It's fine, I just happened to have…”

But Shangguan Yaoyao completely ignored this. Seeing Jiang Lin trying to slip away, she pushed him against the nearby wall, cutting off his next words.

This was the second time!

It was the second time this had happened!

Witnessing this scene, Xiao Dong shivered, quickly retreated into his room, closed the door, and gasped for breath.

“Huff huff, Shen Zhi is truly so dashing, I really envy him!”

“Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. I still have Yaoyao waiting for me!”

“I need to achieve Immortal Ascension as soon as possible and restore my essence!”

“Let's start Cultivating the Cultivation Techniques I obtained today!”

After a while, he heard Jiang Lin's door next door open.

“Husband, I thought you weren't coming back today!”

“How could that be? I said I'd help my little darling with Body Tempering, didn't I?”

“Then please help me well, Husband!”

Listening to the sounds of Cultivation next door, Xiao Dong clutched the incomplete Purification Sutra in his hand, his face filled with grief and indignation.

Comparing oneself to others can be deadly!

Outside the door, Shangguan Yaoyao's face was filled with fury.

Where am I inferior to that little girl!

I offered myself to you, and you chose her!?

“Ding, sensing the host's inadequate methods, and the Heavenly Dao Dao Companion's Affection remaining too low, an additional support is provided once, granting the Ancient Hehuan Sect's secret technique, the ‘Seductive Allure Art’!”

Humiliation!

Naked humiliation!

As a user of the Emperor Fox Bloodline, primarily Cultivating the Celestial Charm Art, she couldn't even win over a man.

She even needed “Heavenly Dao” to provide support!

It was humiliating, truly humiliating!

Listening to the pleasant sounds from inside the room, Shangguan Yaoyao gritted her teeth and said, “Just you wait, one day, you will be captivated by this Young Miss's charm!”

......

Black Yuan City, deep within the market.

Donghuang Pan and Little Wu arrived at an inconspicuous small shop.

“Boss, to the Chaotic Current Secret Realm!”

The boss looked up and asked with a smile, “Two people?”

Donghuang Pan replied, “Two people!”

“Two Top-Grade Spirit Stones! Once teleported, there will be no refunds, regardless of any gains!”

Donghuang Pan nodded and tossed over two Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

“Alright, alright, please follow me, both of you!”

Soon, the boss led the two to the backyard.

“This is a Return City Talisman. You can use it directly if you want to come out within five days. After five days, it will automatically bring you back to a random location within three kilometers outside Black Yuan City!”

Donghuang Pan took the Return City Talisman, turned, and led Little Wu into the teleportation array.

A flash of light passed, and their figures disappeared.

The smile on the boss's face vanished, and he said disdainfully:

“These days, everyone thinks they're a Child of Destiny. How can a lost Treasure Trove be so easy to obtain?”

“For three hundred years, people have gone in every day. If it were going to be found, it would have been found already!”

“Besides, whether there are any God Race members left is another matter, isn't it?”

“And Treasure Trove…”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw four or five people walk into his shop.

He hurriedly went to greet them, smiling, “Customers, planning to go to the Chaotic Current Secret Realm?”

Jiang Lin nodded, puzzled, “I have that thought. Boss, do you really think there's a lost Treasure Trove?”

The boss replied without hesitation, “Of course! That's the entire family Legacy left behind by the Forging God Clan!”

Jiang Lin questioned, “That doesn't seem right. Logically, the God-Demon Extinction War should have been on a very large scale. The Forging God Clan should have brought out their most prized possessions to fight, as it was a matter of life and death! Why would they hide their good things instead?”

The boss was stunned, then hesitated for a moment, saying, “That should be the Forging God Clan's Legacy land, hoping their forging techniques wouldn't be completely lost!”

Jiang Lin shook his head again, “That's just the boss's speculation. If they were afraid of it being lost, wouldn't it be better to engrave it on an indestructible stone tablet for future generations to admire, to be passed down through generations forever? It shouldn't be hidden here as if they're afraid someone will find it!”

The boss's face stiffened. He looked Jiang Lin up and down, then cupped his fists and said, “May I ask what the customer is here for?”

Jiang Lin feigned distress, “There are five of us here; going in would be a huge sum of money, so I want to think carefully about whether to go in or not?”

Hearing this, the boss's eyes lit up.

“All five of you going? In that case, besides the Return City Talisman, I'll also give you five Positioning Talismans to confirm each other's locations, and a map!”

“With this map, your chances of finding the Treasure Trove will be even greater!”
