Chapter 385
The silence in the room upset Luo Yuting. Although Qiao Xiang was lying on the bed, she felt like she was standing alone in the snow.
“I heard there is a Gold Core Gathering in Sky City,” Apart from Nascent Souls, there were many Golden Cores. Some of them organized a gathering.
Qiao Xiang glanced at Luo Yuting and said impatiently, “Why do you care about it so much? Even if there is a Golden Core gathering, you can’t go there as a Foundation Establishment. You’d better stay here and save yourself from embarrassment.”
Luo Yuting was so angry that she almost cried. She gritted her teeth and said in a sad voice, “Okay.”
Qiao Xiang would have consoled her at the sight of her sorrowful face in the past. However, Qiao Xiang had had enough of cold shoulders, and he was ridiculed on her account, so he didn’t pity her at all. “Don’t pull a long face. Are you attending a funeral? People will think I treat you badly. If you don’t feel happy with me, I’ll give you the freedom.”
Luo Yuting was frightened. The freedom meant a divorce. From his tone, she knew he didn’t say it casually. He might have contemplated on it for a long time and he blurted it out.
“I’m not complaining, but you treat me…”
“How do I treat you? You mentioned Qiu Yun. Are you envious that Mu Yun treats him well? Don’t you know what you are? How can you compare with Qiu Yun?”
“He has a sharp eye. He snatched three pills and sold two of them, earning tens of thousands of medium spiritual stones. He kept one Dragon Flame Pill, which is good for Mu Yun. He stays indoors and earns spiritual stones. What about you? You could do nothing but loaf,” Xiao Xiang said in disdain.
He had seen her through and pointed that out, which upset Yuting terribly.
Luo Yuting lowered her head, her heart filled with deep grief and indignation. She had managed to marry Qiao Xiang, and she thought she would lead a happy life. But now, it turned out to be a nightmare.
Qiao Xiang narrowed his eyes. The Peerless Sect had suffered a considerable loss in the war between the righteous and demonic sects, and the resources of the sect were limited.
Although the resources were biased towards him, he had to obtain many precious cultivation materials by himself. After he advanced to Golden Core, he started to realize why the elders objected to his marriage with Luo Yuting. If he had had a grandfather-in-law like Chen Lifeng, he would not have been short of money.
Every time when he met Chen Lifeng, Qiao Xiang felt a sense of disappointment. Most Nascent Souls had many descendants. However, Chen Lifeng only had Chen Xu. After Xiao Xiaodong married Chen Xu, Xiao Jinting took advantage of it.
Looking at the changing colors on his face, Luo Yuting didn’t dare to speak.
She felt aggrieved. Qiu Yun was able to buy those pills because he had money. Although the alchemist sold the pills at a cheap price, they cost thousands of medium spiritual stones. She was only a Foundation Building with several medium spiritual stones. How could she compete with the others?
After Qiao Xiang scolded Luo Yuting, he closed his eyes and fell fast asleep.
Luo Yuting didn’t know that Qiao Xiang had also tried to buy the pills. He made a wrong judgment and spent thousands of medium spiritual stones on a worthless pill.
Even though Qiao Xiang was favored by the sect, he was at the preliminary level of Golden Core with only a few thousand medium spiritual stones. After suffering such a huge loss, he went bankrupt. He didn’t dare to tell anyone, afraid to disappoint Nangong Cheng.
Luo Yuting mentioned Qiu Yun at the wrong time, who had earned a lot of money.
…
Three days after Xiao Jinting took out the Ice Marrow Pill, there was no news from Ice Palace, and he was not ruffled. The negotiation had reached a deadlock. The other forces started to look for the owner of the pill.
On the fifth day, Ice Palace finally agreed to the deal.
Xiao Jinting heard that the Grand Elder of Ice Palace, Bing Du, rushed back after she received the news. Ice Palace was quiet because Bing Wu was not there.
Xiao Jinting put the pill into the transmission box and pressed the button.
When the treasures arrived in the box, he had a bad feeling. He quickly threw the treasures together with the box to the jade space.
In a high building in Sky City, a woman with a cold expression looked at Bing Wu and asked, “Grandmother, how is it?”
Bing Wu frowned and said, “It disappeared.”
Bing Wu had to take precautions since the seller disagreed to meet in person. She stamped her soul mark on all the treasures transmitted to Xiao Jinting. If the pill was real, she would not do anything to him. If it was fake, she could track him down with the soul mark and give him hell.
“The mark disappeared in an instant. I only vaguely feel a location,” Bing Wu said.
Bing Wu thought that the seller was cautious. A reckless person might be appreciating the treasures.
“Grandmother, did he erase your mark?”
Bing Wu frowned and said, “The mark of Deity Transformation is not easy to erase, unless the seller is a Deity. However, if he is a Deity, he will not be afraid to meet us and exchange.”
“What exactly has happened?”
“The seller might have sealed the treasures or thrown them into the space ring,” Bing Wu said.
Bing Ning nodded and said, “Oh, I see.”
“If he uses these treasures, I’ll sense it,” Bing Du said firmly, but she felt uncertain. She could sense it when the seller used the treasures, but the world was so big that it would be difficult to track him down.
