Chapter 23 Emotional investment is also investment
Hearing that the Baibao Building had been robbed, Yu Xian immediately remembered the warning he had made on a whim yesterday. He never imagined that it would come true so quickly.
Under his questioning, Yulan recounted the news she knew.
It turned out that a group of thieves raided the Baobao Building today and looted all the cash and many precious gems and jade inside.
Many people lost their lives because of resistance.
Even a martial arts master who was secretly stationed in Baibao Tower was killed on the spot, not to mention the guards of the jade merchants, who were all ordinary warriors and did not even have the ability to resist.
It is said that there was a general in golden armor among the thieves. After uttering the truth, his whole body was enveloped in golden light, as if he was wearing golden armor and was invulnerable.
The arrows fired by the officers and soldiers who came to round up had no effect at all, just like shooting on an iron plate.
There was also a Hercules who, with his own strength, pushed open the closed city gate. Like a giant spirit god, he drove away hundreds of pursuing soldiers and covered the retreat of his accomplices.
There is also a divine fire king who can control the divine fire. When the divine fire comes, it is like a falling meteorite, burning everything.
The martial arts master of Baibao Tower was refined to death by divine fire.
Preliminary statistics show that the loss in this Baibao Tower incident is as high as one million taels of silver, and there are countless precious jade stones.
Now that the whole city is under martial law, people in the city are panicked, even more nervous than when they arrested the assassin from the palace.
"Master, we are so lucky."
Yulan rubbed her head in Yu Xian's arms, feeling frightened, like a kitten seeking comfort from its owner.
But Yu Xian was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.
Because after hearing Yu Lan's description, various spiritual spells were automatically substituted into his mind.
Golden light spell, divine power talisman, fireball...
Is this still the mortal world?
Please don't be so outrageous.
A group of immortal cultivators, relying on their sharp spiritual spells, actually came to rob a group of mortals. This is even more outrageous than cheating and betting on stones with their spiritual consciousness!
At least he's still covering his face.
Barbaric, too barbaric!
But here comes the question, why are these immortal cultivators robbing money?
Do you want to use silver as materials for refining weapons?
Left to his own devices, Yu Xian really couldn't guess their purpose for a while. He couldn't figure out why a group of immortal cultivators would be so vigorous.
Do you really think you are invincible?
Don't listen to what Yulan said about them. They are very majestic, just like gods killing gods and Buddhas killing Buddhas. But if they are truly invincible, they will not run away.
Based on the aura environment in the mortal world, there is a high probability that they will have exhausted all their mana and have to leave.
Otherwise, when others react, they may be even weaker than the innate warrior.
Risking your life just to grab money that is of little use to you?
But he has an advantage, that is, he doesn't think about problems that he can't think of. There is no need to worry about troubles in this world.
"As long as I'm here, the golden-armored general and Shenhuo Lord can handle it with just one hand."
Yu Xian patted Yulan's head, but thought in his mind that he had to refine his magic weapon quickly.
Otherwise, when meeting a fellow immortal cultivator, with his half-full level, it is still unclear who will win.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm the best."
Hearing Yu Xian boasting, Yulan laughed stupidly.
"I'm a little hungry after sleeping all day. Yulan, go to the kitchen to see if there's anything left to eat and bring me some."
"good."
Yu Xian pushed Yu Lan away and walked to Chen Yi.
"Have you succeeded in practicing Qi?"
Although the tone was questioning, Yu Xian's expression was very determined.
In his eyes, Chen Yi stood out like a firefly in the dark night, and the thin spiritual energy around her continued to surge toward her body, like a human-shaped whirlpool.
Apparently, she has a high affinity for Reiki.
Even in an environment like the mortal world, it might not be a problem for her to break through one or two more realms.
Thinking of the way Ling Qi ignored him when he was practicing, Yu Xian secretly cursed that he looked down on others.
Chen Yi nodded silently, but stopped talking.
Yu Xian was amused for a while and said helplessly:
"I thought that based on our relationship, we should have been honest with each other a long time ago. I said that I will not interfere with your freedom, or are you worried about the prince?"
Chen Yi's voice lowered: "I have a sister. She is in the hands of the prince. I haven't seen her for a long time."
Yu Xian nodded: "It turns out I have a sister-in-law. Do you want me to help you rescue her?"
Chen Yi said seriously: "Help me rescue her, I owe you a life!"
Yu Xian rolled his eyes and said, "If I don't save her, your life is mine now. You owe someone your life every now and then, so why not do something practical?"
Chen Yi looked embarrassed: "I don't have any money."
"Don't you know how to pledge yourself to me? Isn't that what the drama says?"
Yu Xian's eyes slowly swept over Chen Yi from bottom to top, his eyes playful.
Only he knew how huge the fruit was on this seemingly slender branch, but it was usually tightly wrapped and hidden from the light of day.
Chen Yi's face turned red and she felt as if she had been stripped naked, but she said:
"I have been yours for a long time."
Yu Xian chuckled: "Isn't that right? Since you are mine, why are you so different from me?"
He took a step forward, pressed the corners of Chen Yi's mouth with both hands, raised it, and showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Your sister is my sister-in-law. If I don't save her, who can? Leave her to me. I will take care of the prince's side.
But you have to wait a moment, I need a moment. "
He at least wanted to refine his own weapon embryo. When the time comes, even if the prince doesn't want to look decent, he can help him look decent.
Once the strength is in place, the problem is no longer a problem.
At this moment, he eagerly approached, and it happened to be a big event like Baibao Tower. Who knows what King Fu would use this to ask him to do something.
Isn't that just asking for the blame?
Chen Yi nodded silently: "I can wait."
"Don't worry, it will take up to three months."
Yu Xian gave a deadline, then suddenly sighed and said:
"You are a pearl buried in the gravel. I was lucky enough to pick you up by chance, but I know you will not belong to me forever.
Just these three months, okay?
Within three months you are just you, without any identity, and we try to be friends or lovers.
If we are destined to be separated, why not be happy when we are together? Just give each other a beautiful memory. "
He can't invest materially, he can only invest emotionally.
Yu Xian didn't know if Chen Yi could survive after going to the world of cultivating immortals, but it wouldn't hurt to play the cultivation game.
As the saying goes, the fusion of soul and body is the real happiness.
Of course, this kind of behavior of deceiving a girl's feelings is just contemptuous.
Chen Yi looked intently at Yu Xian, who had confessed to her affectionately, and suddenly put down all his burdens, smiled lightly at him, his eyes curled into crescents, and he nodded lightly.
"good."
The coldness on her body dissipated in an instant, just like the first time they met, when she was still Chen Xiao's nominal sister, a weak and helpless girl as gentle as water.
That's her disguise, but it's not her reality.
"You have such a beautiful smile."
Yu Xian is not stingy with his praise.
He took the girl's cold hand, held her in his arms, watched the sunset with her, and confidently stepped on the two boats.
Thanks to this era for giving men the greatest tolerance.
