"Um...no, I don't want to!" Ogulora immediately shook her head.
"Really? What about you, Xiao Wu?" Shi Chen asked Xiao Wu with a smile.
"I'll listen to you, Shichen," Xiaowu replied calmly.
"Good girl~" Shi Chen rubbed her head.
"Xiao Wu?" Zaharias looked at Xiao Wu with a puzzled expression.
"Oh, the name I chose for her, isn't it pretty good?"
"Naming someone? How interesting. No wonder you're called Master Shichen. And who is it?"
"Her name is Ogurola."
"Sleeping Beauty... well, she truly lives up to her name." Zaharias nodded.
"I think so too."
"So, you really don't want to transfer these two bodies to me?" Zaharias asked again.
His gaze was fixed on Ogura and Xiaowu, his eyes filled with greed.
Ogurora shrank back in fear, hiding completely behind Shichen, clutching his clothes and clinging tightly to him.
Unfortunately, I didn't feel anything.
"You want me to betray Aurora, right? Do you think I would?" Shichen retorted.
"Don't be so quick to refuse. The price is negotiable. Let me think about it. How about 20 billion yuan?"
"Two, two hundred billion?!" Ogurola exclaimed in surprise.
She now has a concept of money; she doesn't even dare to imagine how much ice cream she could buy with 20 billion.
"Is it not enough?"
Zaharias noticed Shi Chen's calm expression and smiled, "Then how about we keep adding more, double, no, triple is fine too! After all, these two items are the most powerful weapons in the world, they're totally worth it... Although I don't care about the amount of money, my assets are still limited, so please forgive me for any shortfall."
"Goods, huh~" Shi Chen shook his head with a smile.
"You may have misunderstood something."
"What?"
"Those two are not commodities, much less weapons, and I can't bear to let them leave me."
O
"Reluctant to part with it...?" Zaharias looked at the time strangely.
"You wouldn't be?"
"What?" Shi Chen feigned ignorance.
"never mind."
Zaharias shook his head, then his gaze sharpened as he looked at the time. The Huns on either side of him seemed to respond, slightly lowering their center of gravity and preparing to act at any moment.
"Are you sure you want to attack me?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.
"I really don't dare," Zaharias sighed.
"In that case, the negotiations have broken down, but I will not give up."
"Then let's show them our true strength."
"I understand... Let's go." Zaharias turned and left without any hesitation.
Two Huns followed him away.
The ninth entity, however, remained motionless, its eyes fixed on the time without blinking.
Shi Chen smiled and replied, then said, "Number Nine... that name doesn't suit you. How about I call you Xiao Jiu?"
Number Nine remained silent.
Shi Chen didn't mind and continued, "Xiao Jiu, wait for me. Soon you will be able to reunite with Aurora and the others."
"Mr. Time, the way they meet might not be what you think," Zaharias said, turning around.
"Who knows?"
"Hmph! Number Nine, keep up."
Number Nine then withdrew his gaze and followed Zaharias away.
The figures of the group quickly disappeared.
"They've left," Ogurora couldn't help but say.
"What? You can't bear to part with it?" He glanced at her sideways.
"Two hundred billion..."
"So it's because you care about money... The ice cream is melting."
"Ah! Slurp!" Ogulora snapped out of her daze and quickly licked the melted ice cream.
Her pink tongue licked the ice cream, quickly turning it a creamy color. She busily licked it all around, including the drops that landed on her hands.
"So much of it melted...and the rest melted too!"
"Your mouth is all..." Shi Chen looked at him with a strange expression.
Ogurora's current state reminded him of Darkness kneeling before him.
It's a bit hot.
"Xiao Wu, give me yours." Shi Chen snatched the half-eaten ice cream from Xiao Wu's hand.
"oh."
Xiao Wu didn't care about being robbed; she still had one, even though it had been used up quite a bit.
Her gaze, however, was fixed on Shi Chen's face as she watched him unhesitatingly devour the ice cream he had licked.
A subtle feeling arose in her heart, a mixture of impulsiveness and restlessness.
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong? Are you not full? Do you want me to buy you two more?"
"No need..." Xiao Wu looked away and shook her head.
"Okay, let's go back then. We've wasted a lot of time, and Yue will scold us when we get back."
"Ugh..." Ogurora whimpered, still very afraid of being scolded by Nangong Nayue.
Back home, as expected, Nangong Nayue asked them why they were back so late. However, she had a perfectly legitimate reason and explained it with confidence.
"Zaharias...that arms dealer? He actually managed to get his hands on the Ninth Prototype." Nangong Nayue frowned, lost in thought.
"Is the Feast of Flames about to begin?"
"It will probably take a while longer," Shi Chen said, shaking his head as he squeezed her shoulders.
Why?
"The Feast of Flames is merely a ritual to awaken the Fourth Progenitor, and this ritual must be initiated by the individual. Others with physical bodies do not have this intention, and Zaharias is not qualified at the moment."
"Not qualified?" Nangong Nayue turned to look at him.
"What can he do with just a bare body? It's only a matter of time."
"It's only a matter of time?"
"I reckon it won't be long before that guy gets his hands on several bodies."
"Really?"
"That guy is ambitious and confident, really."
"Then aren't you going to stop him? You should be more interested in getting the other bodies, right?" Nangong Nayue asked expressionlessly.
"Um?"
Shi Chen looked at Nangong Nayue's jealous face and laughed, letting go of her and rubbing her face.
What are you doing?
"Jealousy in that month is really cute."
"Who's jealous? And you're not allowed to call me cute!" Nangong Nayue slapped his hand away in annoyance.
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Come on!"
"Hehe~ Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. Have you forgotten about that Yue? The Fourth True Ancestor is long gone. That guy's information is too outdated. This ceremony is nothing."
"I almost forgot..."
'
"Besides, I need him to bring over the other bodies, otherwise I wouldn't bother asking for them."
"Is that so?"
"At that time, I will take the opportunity to announce my existence to the world," Shi Chen said calmly.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course, so what do you think about me making Itogami Island my Night Empire?"
'
"...Why are you asking me?"
"Because you'll be the mistress of the house then."
"Go!" Nangong Nayue suddenly disappeared.
"I'm serious."
"Who cares if you're serious or not? It's getting late, I'm going to sleep." Nangong Nayue turned her back to Shichen, pushed open the door to her room without looking back, and then closed the door.
Is this... an excuse?
The exact time is uncertain, yet somewhat certain.
He was the only one left in the living room. Aurora and the others had already gone back to their rooms. Shichen didn't stay long either, and went back to his own room to prepare for sleep.
Zaharias's disturbance had no further impact on him, which gave him a moment of anticipation.
Lying in bed, Shichen closed his eyes and went straight to sleep.
However, he hadn't been asleep for long when his door was slowly pushed open and then slowly closed again.
The dimly lit room was illuminated by the colors of flames.
"Aurora, what are you doing in my room instead of sleeping?"
"Huh—!" Ogurora was startled.
"You...you're still awake?" Aurora leaned against the doorway, looking nervously at Shichen who had sat up.
"You opened the door so loudly, it woke me up."
"Is that so?" Ogulora tilted her head.
"Hehe~ Come here." Shi Chen patted the person next to him.
"Hmm... Oh." Augurola took small steps to the bedside and then remained motionless.
Shi Chen smiled, reached out, and carried her to the bed, placing her sideways on his lap.
"Um... what... what are you going to do?" Aurora asked nervously, her body stiff and her head bowed.
"What am I supposed to do? Shouldn't it be you who's doing what? What are you doing in my room?"
"Um... I... I came to thank you." Ogurora looked up.
"Thank you?" Shi Chen blinked.
"I'm very grateful that you didn't sell us out, Shichen." Aurora said earnestly.
"That's it? How could I possibly sell you out?"
"Um...why?" Ogura asked curiously.
"You forgot? I did take your protection money."
"That's true, but that's 20 billion..."
""
"How can my money compare to yours?"
"The time..." Ogurora looked at him, moved.
"Oh right, I think I forgot something."
"What?"
"I haven't collected protection money yet today."
"...Ugh!"
