Although A Yao was beautiful, no one dared to look at her for more than a few seconds, for fear of angering the Golden Immortal senior beside her.
"Yes, yes, esteemed guest, this way please!" The blue-haired old man made an inviting gesture with utmost respect.
Led by this man, A Yao and Luo Bai arrived at a place where many models of cave dwellings and maps floated. The blue-haired old man introduced them one by one:
"These are all top-tier cave dwellings, occupying the best locations in the entire Luoyun City. They are fully equipped with bedrooms, alchemy rooms, training rooms, secret chambers, and so on. Furthermore, the protective formations attached to them are the highest level among the cave dwellings being traded, and the scenery is serene and elegant."
Ayao glanced around for a few moments, then pointed to one of the cave dwelling models and asked the blue-haired old man, "How much is this?"
"Reporting to the fairy, this cave dwelling is priced at five million fairy crystals," the blue-haired old man said with a smile.
There were many people nearby buying and selling cave dwellings, and they were all dumbfounded when they heard the price. A Grade A cave dwelling is so expensive? Five million immortal crystals! Good heavens!
Ayao nodded: "I'll take it."
The blue-haired old man immediately laughed and said, "Fairy, you have excellent taste!"
Ayao looked at Luo Bai and frowned: "What are you still standing there for? Aren't you going to pay?"
Her extremely impolite and commanding tone stunned everyone around her. How dare a mere early-stage Tribulation Transcending cultivator speak to a Golden Immortal like that? She was definitely not some maid or concubine. Could she be some young lady from the Upper Realm, and that Golden Immortal be her bodyguard?
Luo Bai was also stunned for a moment, then he laughed. His laughter was like a hundred flowers blooming and moonlight shining, dazzling and mesmerizing. If his appearance had not been hidden in the celestial light, countless people would have been captivated by him.
He tossed a storage bag to the old man in blue, who didn't dare to check it in front of him. Instead, the old man made an invitation gesture and respectfully led Luo Bai and A Yao to the cave dwelling they had bought.
————
Inside the cave, a long jade table was covered with many boxes of various sizes. A beautiful girl in purple robes smiled and slowly opened the boxes, taking out the treasures inside to examine them.
After buying the cave dwelling, she took Luo Bai to wander around the immortal city, frantically sweeping up all kinds of treasures. Of course, Luo Bai paid for everything, as she didn't have that many immortal crystals.
Ayao upgraded all of her magical artifacts.
Luo Bai sat beside A Yao and watched her. He felt that this little girl was very good at ordering him around, as if she had done it countless times before.
He watched as Ayao picked up a silver bracelet inlaid with many colorful gemstones and slipped it onto her snow-white wrist. The bracelet made her skin appear as white and tender as jade. He smiled and said:
"I bought so many things for you, aren't you going to thank me?"
Ayao turned to look at him and asked, "Why should I thank you?"
Luo Bai: "..."
“I did ask you to pay the bill, but you didn’t have to listen to me. You chose to spend those immortal crystals yourself. Since it was your own choice, why should I thank you?” Ayao said.
She spoke with such conviction that Luo Bai was momentarily speechless, unsure how to refute her. After a long pause, he smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute to A Yao, saying, "I've learned a lot!"
He lowered his hand, sighed, and said with a self-deprecating tone, "It seems I can't be a sucker anymore. I got taken advantage of and didn't even get a kind word in return."
"Who took advantage of you? It's clearly you who took advantage of me. When I'm with you, people always mistake me for your concubine. I'm a perfectly innocent girl, and my reputation is ruined for no reason. And you call me taking advantage of you? Shameless!" Ayao glared fiercely at Luo Bai.
Luo Bai: "..."
After glaring at him, Ayao continued looking at the various treasures on the table.
Luo Bai looked at her profile. At first, this little girl was quite afraid of him, but now she was directly confronting him. She didn't even call him "senior" anymore, just saying "you" instead. She seemed certain that he wouldn't do anything to her.
After admiring her newly acquired treasures, A Yao waved her hand and stored them in her storage bag or her primordial spirit. Turning back, she saw Luo Bai staring intently at her, his gaze extremely aggressive, the typical lustful look a man gives a woman.
"Why...why are you looking at me like that?" Ayao asked.
Luo Bai laughed and said, "I was thinking that although there are many beauties in my harem, none of them are as quick-witted, audacious, and reckless as you. You said I ruined your reputation, so I might as well take you back to the Dragon Palace and make you my concubine."
Ayao: "..."
Concubine?
When this is mentioned, Ayao can't help but grind her teeth.
Everyone says that the Dragon Emperor is a womanizer, and A Yao initially thought so too. This bastard's concubines were all charming and seductive. Later, she discovered that his empress and concubines were all his alter egos, and even his son was one of them.
Ayao only learned about these things much later. When she was under house arrest by Luo Bai, she got along very well with his favorite concubines. His favorite concubines were all stunningly beautiful, charming and delicate, soft and supple, and their skin was as smooth as jade. They were soft to hug, fragrant, and smooth to the touch.
She even thought that if she were a man, she would definitely cuckold him and sleep with all his wives, both his first and second wives.
It turned out that his empress and concubines were actually his alter egos, and he felt like the sky had fallen.
She even bathed with them...
What kind of freak is this?!
He can actually create so many female clones, and each one is so beautiful and alluring. He's absolutely psychologically twisted, a pervert among perverts!
Ayao squinted at Luo Bai and said in a chilling tone:
"Have you no shame?"
After he finished speaking, Luo Bai burst into laughter.
Ayao ignored him and turned to go to the training room to practice. But just as she turned, Luo Bai's figure blocked her path, almost causing her to bump into his chest. Startled, Ayao took a step back, looking warily at Luo Bai who had suddenly appeared and blocked her way.
"W-What are you going to do?"
"Don't be nervous, I just want to see your Causal Mirror, take it out!" Luo Bai smiled gently and extended his slender hand.
Ayao looked at him suspiciously for a few moments, then took out the Causal Mirror and tossed it to him. Ayao was very curious about what he wanted the Causal Mirror for, and then she saw Luo Bai take the mirror in his hand. Suddenly, the mirror surface emitted a light, and a girl who looked exactly like Ayao appeared there.
Ayao looked at her own projection, and her pupils suddenly contracted.
The white-robed Dragon Emperor looked at A Yao's projection and chuckled, "It seems there really is a deep karmic entanglement between us..."
As he spoke, his golden eyes looked at A Yao with piercing gaze, as if he could see right through her.
