"He's lying to you. This black box is made of hibiscus wood."

Watching the old man eloquently demonstrate the power of this black box, Shen Yulou raised his hand and whispered something to Chi Yuan.

"It's the wood from the Fusang tree where the three-legged golden crow lives."

"The person who made this black box must have been someone who specialized in hunting and killing three-legged golden crows in ancient times."

The old man's mouth also became dry towards the end.

"Five top-grade spirit stones."

Chi Yuan extended five fingers to interrupt the old man's spellcasting.

The price he offered far exceeded the market price of spirit sandalwood in the cultivation world.

The old man was all smiles. He quickly packed up the package for Chi Yuan and even gave him a few small trinkets.

"Young friend, you have a broad mind and are clearly someone who can accomplish great things."

A stupid fool with too much money.

He waved to their retreating figures, then quickly packed up his stall and ran off to buy some alcohol.

"Do you like it? It's for you."

Chi Yuan fiddled with the black box in his hand and suddenly had the idea of ​​giving it to Shen Yulou.

Compared to obtaining the strange fire, making Shen Yulou happy would make him happier.

"No, I hate anything related to fire."

Shen Yulou took a few steps to the side with a look of disgust, but was pulled back by Chi Yuan.

"Oh, I knew I didn't want it then. Why didn't you say so earlier?"

The black box in his hand was immediately thrown into his spatial storage by Chi Yuan.

"I can't stop you from getting more and better things just because I hate them."

Seeing Chi Yuan's actions, Shen Yulou couldn't help but laugh.

You can do it.

Chi Yuan put his arm around his shoulder and gave him an affirmative answer.

"You are more important than my future. I'm willing to be your gigolo and be supported by you for the rest of my life."

"You may be willing, but I'm not."

"You've taken so much stuff from me for free. If you don't let me get back double what I got for free, I'll beat you up."

Shen Yulou pretended to be angry, crossed his arms, turned his head to the side, and hummed.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely make a good career for myself and compensate you with lots of good things."

Chi Yuan affectionately placed his hand near Shen Yulou's ear and turned his head back to its original position.

I wandered around the market a few more times, but didn't find any rare or unusual items.

The couple headed straight to the secret location for the semi-finals.

"Come in."

Chi Yuan looked at the long queue in the distance and was about to roll up his sleeves.

When they turned around, they found that Shen Yulou was gone.

He frantically circled around in place several times but couldn't find Shen Yulou.

Just as he was getting anxious, he suddenly heard a soft laugh.

"Idiot Chi Yuan, I'm here."

Shen Yulou patted Chi Yuan's jawline, then slid down his arm like a slide to his palm.

"How did you get so small?"

Chi Yuan looked at the chibi-style figure in his palm, his eyes overflowing with surprise and delight.

"I was able to shrink anyway, I just wanted to shrink now."

The chibi-style figure slowly walked over to Chi Yuan's side and sat down, its legs still swinging back and forth.

"Your face looks even rounder than Zai Zai's now."

"Is there?"

Hearing Chi Yuan's words, Shen Yulou also became curious about his own appearance.

"Your eyes are so big, so...so cute."

Chi Yuan couldn't resist his urge to poke Shen Yulou's face.

"Don't poke me, I'm going to get angry!"

The little figure in his hand instantly became serious, standing upright in his palm, hands on hips, glaring angrily at him.

However, it no longer has any deterrent effect, and Chi Yuan even sensed a hint of coquetry in it.

He even had the wicked urge to stick his finger out and poke him over.

But fearing that Shen Yulou would beat him up after recovering, he could only reluctantly put his hands behind his back and knead them in the air.

"snort."

Seeing that Chi Yuan had finally calmed down, Shen Yulou sat down cross-legged again.

"Move toward our goal."

He pointed his finger confidently in the direction in front of him.

Chi Yuan couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw his expression.
