Tang Xiu comfortably sat on the couch while a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, “You look a bit interested in that youth?”
“Yeah, the course of his life is very interesting indeed,” replied Xue Yue with a smile.
“It is indeed,” consented Tang Xiu. “He has an innate rebellious nature; one who goes against the mainstream and has a rough path ahead, though he could become someone powerful in the future if he doesn’t die midway his journey.”
“No, he only has seven days to live.” Xue Yu shook his head.
“You’re practicing divination now?” Tang Xiu was surprised.
“Yeah, I always practice it whenever I have nothing to do,” replied Xue Yu smilingly. “What’s ridiculous is that he got into a recent disaster exactly because of his mouth.”
“Silence is golden for many people and one will probably be in trouble if they can’t control their mouth indeed,” sighed Tang Xiu. “Alright, let’s forget it and don’t talk about him. Tell me how the progress of your research on the Six Starlight Array is going? Are you confident in cracking it by yourself?”
“I’m not sure.” Xue Yu shook her head, “I don’t think I can comprehend more than 20% of the Six Starlight Array yet, though I’m confident that we can get that Immortal Trove if we come straight to Longquan Bay in Kanas.”
“Why so?” asked Tang Xiu in astonishment.
“I have confidence because of you.” Xue Yue chuckled, “I know you. You’ll never waste your time in going to Kanas if you don’t have enough confidence, no? So, what about you? Have you completely comprehended the Six Starlight Array?”
“I’m not 100% sure either.” Tang Xiu chuckled and said, “I must go there to observe it on the spot again and get more insight. If I get some good luck, then we can open that Immortal Trove to seize what’s stored inside.”
“Well, I did some divination to calculate my chance after you called me yesterday,” said Xue Yu with a smile. “It’s just the outcome is the same for me, while I can’t calculate yours.”
“Then it doesn’t matter if you can’t figure it out!” Tang Xiu laughed and said, “It’s great if we can get something from the Immortal Trove, but it’s also okay if we get nothing as well. By the way, come with me to a certain place after the trip to Kanas. All of us may have to live for a long time to cultivate there later.”
“Where to?” asked Xue Yu curiously.
“Nine Dragons Island,” answered Tang Xiu.
Xue Yu’s eyes lit up and she quickly asked, “Is that the place the Ancestress has always been wanting to live in seclusion? That island you bought overseas?”
“Yeah, it’s there,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “The construction project of Nine Dragons Island was originally scheduled to finish in early June, but it’s been delayed due to some circumstances. At present, though, it will soon be finished and we can settle there within two months.”
“I’m going with you then.” Xue Yue nodded.

On the fifth floor of the Chang City Hotel, inside the corridor with red carpet, Li Qiang was leaning on the corridor wall with eyes staring at the door of the room in the front. This was the ninth time he came here, waiting for the owner of the machinery factory to sell the mechanical parts produced by his company. It could be said he had racked his brain about the issue.
‘I’m still lacking 90,000 yuan. I can collect enough money as long as I close this deal. I’m gonna kick out that squid bastardly manager of the company then.’
Li Qiang recalled the shameless face of his company’s Sales Department Manager with disgust. He had made eight Sales Manager get fired in the last few years; each time before he got them kicked out, he was able to earn a lump sum of money before they left. Unfortunately, his family was a bottomless pit and spent hundreds of thousands of yuan for medical expenses every year, causing him to live in dire straits.
Suddenly, he remembered the guy he just met in the elevator. He was aware of what the concept of a billion yuan meant. Those who could throw that amount of money easily—which one of them was not some big personage in the business world? Yet, that brat…
‘It’s really a pity for that belle, though. How come she found such an unreliable guy. Alas, this handsome dude already has his owner, otherwise, I could have given that belle a good future.’
Li Qiang smiled and laughed at himself. The thoughts then flashed by when he saw that the door of the room in front was opened. Two alluring women with long legs and slender, guitar-like waists came out of it, while the machinery factory owner, who he had been pestering in the last nine days, also came out with a flushed face.
“Hello, Boss Huang.” Li Qiang hurriedly greeted him.
The red-faced Boss Huang had his smile froze all of a sudden after seeing Li Qiang. It only took him two seconds to slam the door and close it from the inside.
Bam…
Li Qiang stared at the shut door, choking with vexation inwardly.
The two females, however, grinningly halted their pace and looked at Li Qiang whose face unceasingly changed expressions. One of them then suddenly spoke with a grin, “Hey, handsome! You want this Sister to accompany you? You’ll get me at an absolutely fair price. You’ll also get absolutely better services than we gave Boss Huang.”
“Scram!” shouted Li Qiang after he gasped for breath quickly and stepped back to lean on the wall.
The woman angrily glared at him and turned around while cursing, “Nothing but a destitute ghost, huh? What the hell are you pretending about with that fucking fancy suit? Rich men roll up the bedsheets with women on the bed, while poor men can’t help but be anxious and be unable to do shit outside. Come on, let’s get the hell out of here. He’s just bad luck. I thought I could do more business.”
A poor ghost, she said?
