At the same time, seeing that Shi An remained silent for a long time, Yun Xi's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt and impatience. Finally, she parted her lips slightly, her voice carrying a hint of coldness: "If you don't want to return it, just say so. Why act like this!"
"girl!"
Seeing the angry look on Yunxi's face, Shi An felt no embarrassment whatsoever. Instead, he chuckled again and said, "I obtained this Lingxi Pendant through my own abilities. Even if I don't return it to you, no one can say anything about it."
"Besides, I've already returned one to you. If I were to return this one so easily, wouldn't I make myself look bad?"
"You scoundrel, don't push your luck!"
Upon hearing Shi An's words, Yun Xi felt a surge of anger again. She glared at him and said, "I've already given you some spiritual herbs. What more do you want?"
"Young lady, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"
However, what shocked and angered Yunxi again was that after hearing her words, Shi An spread his hands innocently and said, "Those spiritual herbs were given to me voluntarily, not by my insistence."
"Besides, you never said in the first place that those elixirs were meant to be exchanged for the Spirit Rhinoceros Pendant I have!"
"you·········"
Seeing Shi An's roguish yet sly smile, Yun Xi was so angry that she couldn't speak. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and a look of annoyance and helplessness flashed in her eyes.
"Hmph, I can't be bothered arguing with you!"
After a long while, Yunxi, who considered herself inferior to Shi An's shamelessness, couldn't help but snort coldly, then turned around and walked away, no longer paying attention to him.
Watching Yunxi's indignant departure, Shi An couldn't help but smile with amusement.
Actually, he didn't really want to take advantage of Yunxi. He just felt that her personality suited his taste, so he joked with her for a few moments on a whim.
Unexpectedly, the other party was so easily amused that they left in anger before he could finish his conversation.
"Fine, let's leave it at that!"
Shaking his head, Shi An casually put away the Spirit Pendant, then left the treasure vault based on his memory and returned to the council hall.
Here, he met Yunxi, who had gone ahead of him.
"girl!"
Unfortunately, Yunxi did not respond to his greeting at all. She just stared quietly ahead, as if there was something that particularly attracted her.
Seeing this, Shi An didn't want to make a fool of himself any further. He turned to Yun Canghai and said, "Senior, I have already selected what I need from your treasure vault. It's time for me to leave."
"Thank you so much for your generosity, senior!"
With that, Shi An immediately turned around and walked outside.
"Wait a moment, young friend!"
But before he could leave the room, Yun Canghai suddenly called out to stop him.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Shi An frowned slightly, then remembered that the Celestial Race seemed to have always wanted to explore the Kunpeng Nest, but they had been struggling to find the person who could open it, which was why they had not gone there yet.
And now...
Thinking it over, Shi An didn't show it, but looked at Yun Canghai with a puzzled expression and said, "I wonder if there's anything else you need, senior?"
"Exactly."
As Shi An had expected, Yun Canghai immediately followed up with, "I do indeed have something I would like to ask for your help with, young friend."
After saying that, Yun Canghai seemed worried that Shi An would disagree, and then added, "Furthermore, this is not a matter for you to help me for nothing. As long as you are willing to help me, you will not only be an honored guest of my Celestial Race, but you will also be able to enter my race's treasure vault again."
Shi An asked in confusion, "What is it?"
"I wish to borrow the power of your twelve celestial caves to open a passage to a forbidden area."
Hearing Shi An's question, Yun Canghai, unaware that Shi An knew everything, did not hide anything and explained directly: "This forbidden place is called Kunpeng Nest. It is the place where a Kunpeng lived in seclusion in its later years and even perished in ancient times."
"This Kunpeng has set up a taboo in this forbidden area; only those who have opened the Ten Heavenly Caves can open the passage."
"Just like the Purple Spirit Realm..."
Listening to Yun Canghai's story, Shi An couldn't help but recall the first time he entered the Purple Spirit Domain.
At that time, it seemed that no one else reacted, but when it was his turn, there was a commotion. At the time, he thought it was because of the Chaos Bell, but later he realized that it was because he had already opened the Ten Heavenly Caves, the original limit of this world.
Seeing Shi An suddenly fall into deep thought, a hint of doubt flashed in Yun Canghai's eyes. What's wrong with him?
Puzzled, Yun Canghai couldn't help but call out a few times, "Young friend?"
Upon being awakened, Shi An showed no embarrassment whatsoever. Instead, he calmly gazed at Yun Canghai and asked, "So, Senior, you mean I should open the passage to that Kunpeng Nest? And then everything inside will be irrelevant to me?"
"Of course not."
Seeing that Shi An's tone was a bit off, Yun Canghai quickly spoke up: "As long as you are willing to help us open the Kunpeng Nest, then besides being able to choose anything in our clan's treasure vault, anything you obtain inside will belong to you."
"You can even get 20% of what my clan gains from it."
"Is that so...?"
Upon hearing that Yun Canghai was willing to give him 20% of what he had gained, Shi An was somewhat surprised and fell into deep thought.
After a while, just when Yun Canghai thought he wasn't satisfied with the current situation, Shi An spoke up.
He smiled slightly, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing: "Your generosity is so kind, it makes me a little embarrassed. However, since you have shown your sincerity, it would be rude of me to refuse."
Upon hearing this, Yun Canghai's face immediately lit up with joy, and he quickly asked, "Young friend, do you agree?"
"good!"
Shi An nodded and smiled, "Since you value it so much, I am naturally willing to give it a try. However, I have a small condition."
Upon hearing that Shi An had conditions, Yun Canghai's heart tightened, fearing that he would make some unacceptable request, but he remained calm on the surface: "What conditions? Please tell me, young friend."
However, Shi An's next words made Yun Canghai breathe a sigh of relief.
He slowly said, "I would like to invite a friend to accompany me. I wonder if you would mind, senior?"
"There is nothing wrong with that."
Yun Canghai readily agreed.
Seeing that Yun Canghai agreed, Shi An readily followed up by asking when they would depart: "In that case, when shall we set off?"
"this·········"
However, Yun Canghai did not answer the question immediately. Instead, he turned to look at the elders and then looked at Shi An again, saying, "If you have nothing else to say, young friend, we can set off at any time."
Bert wishes everyone a Happy Lunar New Year's Eve!!!
