Rumor 1

Qin Yuan: "You are from the Black Crow Clan, a clan appointed by Heaven to prophesy. You possess spiritual power, so you can naturally give it a try."

Yan Zhu picked up the notebook and turned to the page with the newly drawn Three Qi Formation. He pointed at the pattern and said, "Just follow this order and do the hand gestures."

The formation is not difficult and is easy for ordinary practitioners.

Yanzhi turned into a human form and took the letter reluctantly. Under the encouraging gazes of the two, he repeated Qin Yuan's previous actions, but found that it still didn't work.

Yanzhu slumped his shoulders and leaned over the table, staring blankly at Zhuru who had fallen asleep, and said distressedly: "Even the possessor of spiritual power can't do it."

Qin Yuan was also puzzled.

Yanzhi blinked and said, "My young master said again that if the person with spiritual power is not capable, then we need to wait for the right person."

Yan Zhu nodded, then thought of something else: "By the way, can I bring someone else with me to Lingshi Street tomorrow? She's the wife of Jiuli, the God of War in the Divine Realm. Her name is Jinhuang."

Zhu Ru clapped her hands in excitement: "It's so lively! My sister's friends are naturally my friends."

Yan Zhu flipped his palm and used the phoenix feather to transmit a message: "Jin Huang?"

The other side quickly replied: "Yanzhu? It's been a while since you came to see me. How's your training been lately?"

Yan Zhu smiled and said, "Long time? It's still okay to practice. Princess Zhuru of the Underworld and King Qin Guang and I are going to Lingshi Street. I wonder if you are free tomorrow so we can go together?"

Jin Huang: "No problem, see you tomorrow."

——

The next morning, Zhu Ru got up early. Just as she was about to take a step, Qin Yuan called her from behind and handed her a veil. Zhu Ru naturally took the veil and put it on.

Yan Zhi said crisply: "I won't go out, I'll stay at home."

Hearing this, Yanzhu's heart suddenly twitched inexplicably. Home?

Before she found out that Qingxuan had lied to her, she thought so too. A year ago, she saved him, protected him, and ordered him around, but the man was attentive, gentle, and honest. He always gave in to her and never said a word.

She naively thought that it was possible to live like this, two people in one courtyard, three meals a day, four seasons a year.

His cultivation was completely wasted and he fell into the dust and mud, but with her protection, he would not be bullied by his enemies.

Who would have thought that everything before her eyes was just an illusion. She was the only one among the two who was daydreaming about the future, which was ridiculous.

As for him, it was a carefully planned encounter and a deliberate acting, and even his gentleness and honesty were superficial.

She had thought about it before, what was Qingxuan trying to achieve? But he preferred indulgence, and she couldn't drive him away, so she thought that perhaps after a year of getting along, they had developed some different feelings for each other.

It turned out she was terribly wrong.

If the man confessed earlier, wouldn't she help? Ultimately, it's disbelief.

Get rid of them!

Yan Zhu nodded, and after assessing Yan Zhi's small frame, she said, "Okay, I'll bring you new clothes when I come back."

Yanzhi's eyes lit up.

Yan Zhu opened the door to the south room and waved his hand with a magnanimous expression, "Spirit Stone Street is the most prosperous trading place in the God Realm. Without Spirit Stones, you can't even take a single step. Therefore, everyone here has a share."

"Sister Yanzhu! You are so kind!"

Although Zhu Ru was a little princess of the underworld, she had grown up surrounded by rare treasures. At this moment, she was very cooperative with Yan Zhu, her eyebrows and eyes full of joy. She put her arm around Yan Zhu's shoulder and said, "Next time I come to the underworld, I will definitely take you to the largest ghost market in the underworld!"

——

In the divine realm, Lingshi Street is crowded with people and bustling with things.

Looking around, one can see streets extending in all directions, with everything from small stalls on the periphery to large shops with red interiors that are ten meters high. There is no shortage of rare goods, and it is magnificent and gorgeous.

This was Yan Zhu's first time to come to Lingshi Street. After all, in the past...she lived a tight life and did not have much money. What's more, a place like Lingshi Street seemed to be a place for trading spirit stones, but in fact it was a place for comparing power and influence.

"This is quite rare. I have never seen it in the underworld."

Zhu Ru was knowledgeable, but she had not seen many things from the divine realm. After the novelty wore off after she got her hands on them, she set her sights on the tallest building on Lingshi Street. There, the building towered into the clouds, surrounded by layers of spiritual energy, giving off a heavy and vast feeling.

Yan Zhu followed the line of sight and was about to explain when she heard a familiar female voice behind her.

"That's the Lingbao Pavilion. It's filled with magical instruments, divine tools, spiritual pets, elixirs, and other rare treasures. Rumor has it there's even an ancient secret realm waiting for the right person."

"Jinhuang! You're here."

Yanzhu took Jinhuang's hand and introduced her to Zhuru and Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan raised his hand and saluted: "Jin Huang Divine Lord."

Jin Huang politely replied, "Prince Qin Guang, long time no see."

Zhu Ru blinked, took Jin Huang's other hand, and smiled sweetly: "Sister Jin Huang is even more beautiful than her voice!"

"Your Highness is a wonderful little man,"

Jin Huang's eyebrows were all smiling. After saying something to Zhu Ru, she turned to look at Yan Zhu and said, "I didn't expect that the Lord of the Underworld is so gentle and well-behaved. His sister speaks sweet words and smiles like the morning sun."

Yan Zhu raised her eyebrows and smiled, without commenting.

Zhu Ru said with a smile: "Two sisters, where are we going now?"

Jin Huang was generous: "Since both of you are visiting Lingshi Street for the first time, we should go to Lingbao Pavilion first. What do you think?"

Yan Zhu: "Jin Huang is right."

As for Zhu Ru, her thoughts were written all over her face. She had visited Lingbao Pavilion no less than ten times.

"Let's go." Jinhuang waved his hand.

——

The interior of Lingbao Pavilion is decorated with painted buildings and flying eaves, and the exotic treasures on display are gorgeous and colorful, which is very beautiful.

"Golden Phoenix God?"

A handsome man in a green robe with gold patterns was standing tall and handsome. When he saw the three people, he immediately smiled playfully. When his eyes fell on Zhu Ru and Yan Zhu, he couldn't hide his surprise. "Who are these two sisters?"

The girl without the mask has beautiful eyebrows and fair features, a graceful and unique temperament, and her eyes are filled with innocence and brightness, but she looks a little familiar.

Although the face of the masked man could not be seen clearly, his waist seemed to be slender, and the pair of peach blossom eyes that were exposed were very lively.

People around kept looking sideways and casting curious glances.

Yan Zhu narrowed her eyes and found that the man in the robe had his eyes wide open, as if he was in shock for a long time, but not in a vulgar or disgusting manner, so she put down her secret hand.

No wonder Qin Yuan asked Zhu Ru to wear a mask when going out. It seems that he is used to it.

Qin Yuan raised his foot and stood in the middle, blocking the other side's sight. His voice was cold: "Don't you want the eyes anymore?"

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I just didn't recognize the two girls and was struck by their beauty, so I took a few extra glances at them!"

The robed man was intimidated by Qin Yuan's intimidation. He took a deep breath and immediately winked at Jin Huang, asking for help, "Jin Huang Divine Lord, could you please say something?"

"Should."

Jin Huang said coldly, "You need to change this bad habit of yours."

“Yes, yes, yes!”

The robed man said timidly, then looked at the people standing around with curious eyes, waved his sleeves, and warned, "Disperse, disperse! If you show any disrespect to the three of you, don't blame me for being angry!"

Jin Huang scoffed lightly, then turned and said to the three of them, "He's the God of Plants and Trees, a person who's obsessed with looks in the God Realm. He's usually quite carefree and unremarkable. If you two are having any problems, just go up and beat him up. He won't dare to resist."

Yan Zhu's eyebrows twitched slightly. The God of Plants and Trees? The person who temporarily took over Baihua's position after Baihua got into trouble?

When I went to the Palace of Flowers before, the palace maid revealed that flowers are incompatible with plants. A person who is obsessed with looks was resistant to the beauty of flowers. It seems that this person is not simple.

"Why?"

The God of Grass and Trees was displeased when he heard this. He changed his submissive attitude and argued for himself, "What's wrong with being obsessed with looks? Everyone needs a pair of eyes that are good at discovering beauty.

Just like the ordinary stone held by the masked girl."

Yanzhu looked into the distance following the line of sight of the grass and trees, and saw Zhuru and a servant arguing over a stone.

She turned to look at Jin Huang, who shook her head: "I don't know when His Highness left."

"Your Highness?" The God of Grass and Wood scratched his head and looked in Zhu Ru's direction with a confused look on his face. "What kind of Your Highness?"

Yan Zhu and others walked over and understood the whole story from the conversation between the two after getting close.

The servant opened one eye halfway and looked at Zhu Ru with disdain. While Zhu Ru was examining the treasure, he snatched it away without hesitation, saying in a rather hostile tone, "This seven-colored stone is a relic of Xiyue, the first fallen ancient god. It is said to be a fragment of the Nuwa Stone! If you don't want it, don't touch it!"

Zhu Ru was stunned. When had she ever been treated so coldly?

She was unable to recover for a moment, as if she couldn't believe that someone was looking at her with such eyes. When she reacted, she turned around and shouted at Qin Yuan: "He bullied me!"

Qin Yuan patted Zhu Ru's shoulder in a soothing manner. His huge figure enveloped the servants, and the aura of the Ten Kings of Hell emanated instantly.

"How many spirit stones? I'll buy it."

Yanzhu and Jinhuang looked at each other.

The latter whispered in his ear: "This Qin Yuan looks steady and experienced, but he is also a man of passion who would risk his life for a woman he loves."

Yan Zhu: "Shall we watch the show from across from each other?"

Jin Huang: "Give the hero a chance to save the beauty, okay?"

The servant was frightened and stretched out a trembling finger: "One hundred thousand spirit stones..."

When everyone heard the price, there was an uproar.

"One hundred thousand spirit stones?"

"Robbery?"

"Although this seven-colored stone is said to be a relic of the first fallen ancient god, if it truly possesses infinite divine power as the Nuwa Stone is rumored to possess, would it have been left in the Lingbao Pavilion for five hundred years?"

"What do you know? Treasures like these wait for the right person."

Qin Yuan immediately flipped his hand, took out the Qiankun bag, and placed it on the table: "Give it to me."

The servant instinctively took out the seven-colored stone and was about to take the purse when he was held down by someone.

Qin Yuan: "Apologize."

The servant's hand was about to be broken, but facing so many people, he couldn't save face at all: "Why?!"

After he finished speaking, Qin Yuan placed the seven-colored stone in Zhu Ru's hand, and then swung his other hand vigorously. The servant immediately cried out and rubbed it hard on the ground.

The latter: "Don't... go too far!"

Yanzhu and Jinhuang: "..."

Yanzhu, the God of Plants and Trees, said, "Miss, who is that man? So fierce? He's almost as fierce as the great weapon of the God of Purification!"

Jinhuang glanced at Yanzhu and tried to suppress her laughter.

Yan Zhu raised an eyebrow, looked at the God of Grass and Trees, and hooked his finger. The God of Grass and Trees moved slightly closer until he saw the woman's white porcelain face, her dark brown pupils... and the black fireflies that suddenly flickered in them...

"Yanzhu! The God of Purification! That great killing weapon!"

The pupils of the God of Plants and Trees shrank, as if he had seen a ghost. He quickly took two or three steps back, as if he was extremely afraid of being contaminated by something.

Yan Zhu had long been able to switch between the two forms freely, and now she had returned to normal. She smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? I have foul energy."

The grass and trees shook their heads violently, their spring hearts were still alive but dead.

The people around him immediately retreated three steps, leaving a large open space.

"Haven't you heard?"

"In the past, the God of Purification transformed and beat Baihua without any chance of retaliation, and even sent her away."

"What kind of old news are you talking about? Not long ago, this guy survived the Jingyuan Ghost. What is the Jingyuan Ghost? That broken mirror is doomed to die!"

"Your news isn't up to date. I heard this woman recently stirred up the underworld again..."

"What? There's another piece of news you definitely don't know!"

"Lord Qingxuan, break up with Lord Jingzhuo."

"Ah? Really? The two of them are inseparable, and it's said that good things are about to happen?"

"I heard that the Lord of the Underworld went to Lonely Territory a few days ago and was met with dismay. The aura of Lord Qingxuan is as if he is the real master."

"Then why did it break?"

"What else can he do? The God of Purification doesn't like him, so the one he likes is the Lord of the Underworld."

"Ah, is that true?"

"If the two of them break up, and Qingxuan has lost all his cultivation, he will be in trouble if he encounters his enemies when he goes out."

"Who says it isn't?"

Jin Huang gossiped softly, "It spreads quickly. What's going on between you and Young Master Qingxuan?"

Yanzhu rolled her eyes: "I wanted to chase him away, but I haven't seen him lately."

Jin Huang suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Qing Xuan had been dragging Jiu Li and Gui Zang to investigate cases recently...

Over there, Qin Yuan's eyes were sharp: "We won't offend anyone, but if you offend me, I will pursue you through the heavens and the underworld, and I will do nothing for you. Do you have an apology today or not?"

The servant had already heard the presence of the Pure and Turbid Gods nearby, so he quickly crouched down to look around. He immediately spotted Jin Huang and the others, and shouted, "Three Gods, help!"

Jinhuang laughed happily when she heard that.

"Three Gods, these two are definitely not from the God Realm!"

The servant seemed to have gained confidence and looked at Qin Yuan angrily: "You think you have a high level of cultivation? With the three of us from the God Realm here today, you can't even think of leaving Lingbao Pavilion!"

Zhu Ru asked innocently, "Three? Besides Sister Jin Huang and Sister Yan Zhu, who else is there?"

The servant looked as if he had been struck by lightning, and asked in disbelief, "Are you from the same group?"

"Yes." Zhu Ru said.

Jin Huang spoke lightly, speaking for Zhu Ru. "As a servant, your duty is to protect and introduce treasures. What business is it of yours whether a customer buys or not? Yet you look down upon others and act presumptuously. Lingbao Pavilion cannot keep you, is that right, God of Grass and Wood?"
