"Didn't expect to run into you here. We really do have fate."
Just as Zhou Haoyu was examining the black stone in the display window, a melodious female voice came from behind.
Zhou Haoyu turned, and before him stood a woman whose face was partially veiled, each step swaying gracefully.
Her deep black eyes looked at him with interest, and a faint smile appeared beneath the veil.
"How about the suggestion I gave you last time? Have you thought it over?"
Zhou Haoyu smiled and asked lightly.
Asharuiya pondered for a moment, quickly recalling that when they parted in the Ancient Capital, Zhou Haoyu had mentioned he would be her consort.
"Hehe, I have no objections, but you must first get the Parthenon Temple's approval."
Asharuiya said with a bright smile.
"Are you sure?" Zhou Haoyu raised an eyebrow.
If he wanted to propose to the Parthenon Temple, the temple wouldn't even have the right to refuse.
Seeing this, Asharuiya couldn't help but wonder if this guy was hiding some secret.
After leaving the Ancient Capital, she had specifically investigated Zhou Haoyu's background.
He was from the Imperial Zhou family of China, apprenticed under Pang Lai, head of the Magical Court, and also captain of the Chinese National Team.
But even so, compared to the Parthenon Temple, he was still far behind.
However, it seemed he was hiding some secrets.
Asharuiya changed the subject. "You were just looking at this stone. Do you know what it is?"
"A Guilty Stone, the one used to judge the Saint Child Wentai."
Zhou Haoyu's tone was calm, which surprised Asharuiya greatly.
She expected he would know something, but not this much.
Could it be that his teacher told him?
"What, disappointed, information trader?"
Zhou Haoyu teased with a smirk. He still knew far more than this.
"You investigated me?"
"Mutual."
Asharuiya was instantly stumped, feeling like a mute tasting bitter herbs—full of unspeakable frustration.
"You want to take this Guilty Stone, right?"
Before Asharuiya could respond, Zhou Haoyu continued shockingly,
"Give me a kiss, and I can help you take it out."
Asharuiya rolled her eyes. For others, it might have been impossible, but she now had Space magic too!
"No need. I can handle it myself."
"Hehe, then tomorrow there might be big news: a certain Saintess stealing treasures from the St. Mark World Auction House. That would definitely explode the headlines."
Zhou Haoyu's tone was calm, but there was an unmistakable threat beneath it.
Asharuiya's eyes widened, her chest bouncing in anger.
This bastard was taking advantage of the situation! Does he have any sense of gentlemanly conduct at all?
She took several deep breaths, holding back her anger, and finally relented, "I can agree, but you have to accompany me to one place."
"Where?"
"Tyrant Mountain Range."
"Fine."
Zhou Haoyu agreed without hesitation, conveniently planning to take the Tyrant Wild Thunder.
Now that the Profound Yang Golden Thunder had reached its soul seed limit, absorbing this Tyrant Wild Thunder might even push it to Semi-Heaven level.
Seeing him agree so readily, Asharuiya felt a bit of regret.
To give a kiss just for a stone, wasn't it too trivial?
But Zhou Haoyu gave her no chance to back out, using Space magic to extract the Guilty Stone from the display window.
"Here, take it."
He handed the Guilty Stone to Asharuiya.
Looking at it, she hesitated to accept it immediately.
After a brief pause, she said, "Close your eyes first."
Zhou Haoyu raised an eyebrow, then immediately closed them.
With Spiritual Will perception, it hardly mattered whether his eyes were open.
Asharuiya removed her veil and slowly leaned her red lips toward Zhou Haoyu's cheek.
After all, she only said a kiss—there was no specification where.
At that moment, Zhou Haoyu subtly shifted, and their lips coincidentally collided.
In an instant, Asaraya's eyes widened, full of surprise and confusion; her mind froze for several seconds.
When she recovered and tried to step back, Zhou Haoyu directly wrapped his arms around her slender waist, savoring the Saintess's taste.
"Shh-shh!!"
Three Giant Shadow Nails shot toward Zhou Haoyu's shadow, but he reacted faster, teleporting far out of the way.
"Shameless! Perverted! Bastard! Villain! Scoundrel!"
"I'll kill you!"
After breathing a few gulps of fresh air, Asharuiya shouted, her face full of humiliation and anger.
This was her first kiss!
She wanted to curse further, but Zhou Haoyu quickly covered her mouth.
"Are you crazy? Afraid others might find out you came here to steal?"
Asharuiya didn't continue shouting, instead biting down hard on Zhou Haoyu's hand.
"Ss~~"
Zhou Haoyu inhaled sharply. Was this woman part wolf or what?
Not long after, Asharuiya calmed down. After all, it had already happened; getting angry now was useless.
At that moment, she suddenly noticed a metallic taste near her mouth.
Looking down, she saw that her bite had cut Zhou Haoyu's palm, and blood was steadily flowing out.
Asharuiya felt a bit embarrassed.
"Being bitten by the Saintess… how many people could even envy that?"
Zhou Haoyu teased with a smile. This little wound was nothing; he could have Nan Rongni heal it later.
Asharuiya rolled her eyes in response.
"Meet at the foot of the Tyrant Mountain Range tomorrow. Don't forget."
With that, Asharuiya left without looking back.
Zhou Haoyu watched her graceful figure and instinctively licked his lips.
Truly befitting the Saintess; the taste was unforgettable.
Zhou Haoyu didn't linger in the corridor. Now that the Guilty Stone was gone, being caught on the spot would be indefensible.
Back in the guest room, Mu Ningxue and Apas were still selecting a wind-element soul seed.
"This wound of yours…"
Mu Ningxue noticed the cut on Zhou Haoyu's palm and asked thoughtfully.
"Just a small scratch. Have you decided which one?" Zhou Haoyu replied.
At that moment, Apas walked over, lifting his hand to inspect it.
Seeing the neat bite marks, Apasi rolled her eyes.
This perverted master probably flirted outside and got bitten for it.
"Let's go with this one."
Mu Ningxue pointed at the 'Flowing Mist Weaving Soul' wind-element soul seed.
All three were top-tier soul seeds, so it was best to choose one that fit her style.
The Flowing Mist Weaving Soul leaned toward speed, had strong attacks, and came with a powerful auxiliary effect.
