Chapter 86

As the night deepened and approached midnight, the New Moon Mystic Mansion had completely quieted down. Yun Che had not fallen asleep. After meditating for a while, he finally managed to restore his mystic power to about half, opened his eyes, and submerged his consciousness into the Heavenly Poison Pearl.

The world before his eyes instantly turned emerald green. He was about to search for the Lesser Mystic Pill he had obtained from Lan Xue Ruo, but he stopped in his tracks, staring at the scene before him in a daze.

In the boundless emerald green world, a girl in a red dress lay on her side with her eyes closed. She seemed to lack a sense of security, her body curled up, her legs bent, like a sleeping kitten, without any coldness or killing intent... only a kind of tenderness that made one want to hold her in their arms and cherish her.

Yun Che stopped there, not moving forward, then silently retreated.

When he came back in, he was holding a thin blanket.

He walked quietly to Jasmine's side and bent down gently. Jasmine was still sound asleep. She currently could not use any mystic power and had completely let down her guard in this completely independent space, so she did not notice his approach.

She spends most of her time sleeping in the Heavenly Poison Pearl, and I actually forgot to prepare a sufficiently soft bed for her.

Yun Che felt a bit guilty as he gently spread out the blanket.

Looking at Jasmine up close was a visual feast. She was just too adorable. Her small face was tender and delicate, her features like a painting, her skin as white as snow, her long eyelashes as thin as cicada wings, fluttering with her even breathing. Her entire small face was not only incredibly cute but also had a beauty that left one breathless.

Her blood-red hair was spread out on the ground, almost blending with her luxurious red dress. This highlighted her jade-like face, her cherry lips, her snow-white arms like lotus roots, and her legs under her skirt, as white as if coated in milk, even more captivating. Her young figure, outlined by her dress, was exquisitely slender and charming. This red Xunliuxian dress was incredibly expensive, far beyond the reach of ordinary girls, but on Jasmine, it was perfectly harmonious. It seemed that only such an extremely luxurious adornment could match Jasmine's unintentionally revealed noble aura... and her princess status.

Yun Che couldn't help but squat there and watch her for a long time, his eyes unwilling to leave. Her small, delicate nose moved slightly with her breathing, and a small drool was hanging from her pink lips, which were slightly open, unconsciously holding the tip of her right index finger. Her sleeping posture was no different from that of an ordinary girl... one might say, she was still just a little girl.

But her overly curled body revealed that she felt even less secure than ordinary girls.

Gently, Yun Che pulled the blanket and covered Jasmine with it.

Seemingly feeling the blanket on her body, Jasmine's eyelashes fluttered slightly, then slowly opened her drowsy eyes.

Yun Che's hand paused in the air, and he gave a somewhat awkward smile, considering what to say. However, he saw Jasmine's eyes become increasingly hazy, gradually covered with a thin layer of mist...

"Brother... Brother..."

Her eyes, through the mist, gazed at Yun Che with a dreamy look, and her voice was like a dreamy murmur.

"..." Yun Che opened his mouth. Although Jasmine's eyes were open, she was clearly not fully awake and still mistook him for someone in her dream.

Brother? Did she dream about her deceased brother?

A small, white hand reached out and gently grabbed his hand. Jasmine looked at him dazedly, her voice filled with a heart-wrenching sorrow: "Brother... you came to visit Jasmine in her dream again..."

Yun Che kept his body still, unsure whether to speak or not. At this moment, he saw the mist in Jasmine's eyes finally turn into tears, slowly sliding down her pale cheeks... at the same time, her hazy, dazed eyes began to clear up.

A strong force came from her hand, pushing him to sit on the ground. Jasmine stood up, her beautiful eyes filled with the familiar icy coldness, but a tear still clung to her tender cheek: "Why did you come in!"

"To bring you a blanket." Yun Che stood up, lifting the blanket in his hand. Then he smiled and said, "But I seem to have accidentally disturbed your good dream... anyway, I'll prepare the most comfortable princess bed for you in the next few days. I've been neglecting this."

"No need." Jasmine refused.

"This is necessary. I often sleep on the ground and know how uncomfortable it is. I'm rich now, and I can afford a comfortable bed." Yun Che waved a purple-gold card he had pulled out from somewhere, looking very pleased.

Jasmine did not respond to this, either in agreement or disdain. She tightened her small face and asked coldly, "What did you really come in for? It can't just be to bring this princess a blanket, right?"

"Um, there is another matter." Yun Che narrowed his eyes. "While you were sleeping, you might not know, but the Xiao Clan indeed came to find me and brought me a 'big' piece of news... Since the Xiao Clan is causing me trouble, I must return the favor with a big gift!"

"How do you plan to do it?"

"Very simple." Yun Che smiled mysteriously, opened his palm, and in it lay the Lesser Mystic Pill he had obtained from Lan Xue Ruo and the King Mystic Dragon Pill from the Flame Dragon: "This method can only be done with the Heavenly Poison Pearl. To ensure perfection, it's best to do it inside the Heavenly Poison Pearl. After completion... it will be flawless!"

Time gradually approached midnight.

The main gate of the New Moon Mystic Mansion was destroyed, so there were a few more night guards. At this time, there were very few people entering or leaving the New Moon Mystic Mansion.

At this moment, a disciple of the Mystic Mansion, dressed in black, yawned and walked towards the gate, greeting casually as he approached: "Senior Brother Zhan, Junior Brother Fang, you're on night duty, thank you for your hard work."

"Hey! Junior Brother Li, where are you going in the middle of the night?" the one called Senior Brother Zhan shouted.

"Um, to buy some things."

"Buying things in the middle of the night? Hehe, we all know each other, don't we." Another person laughed slyly.

The night guards burst into laughter. Another person lowered his voice and said, "There are few beauties in this Mystic Mansion. Young men, alone in their rooms at night, feeling thirsty and hungry, going out to find some fun is completely understandable. If Junior Brother Li is going to the Fragrant Flower Pavilion to 'buy things,' remember to mention my name, maybe you'll get a 20% discount!"

"Go to hell! Don't tell anyone I went out tonight!"

"Understood, we understand!"

With the understanding glances and laughter of the men, "Junior Brother Li" swaggered out of the New Moon Mystic Mansion. As soon as he stepped out, several pairs of eyes quickly scanned him several times from the shadows, then withdrew.

The pedestrians on the streets of New Moon City were already very few, and most shops had closed. "Junior Brother Li" hummed some old cliché he had heard somewhere, heading south. Soon, he disappeared into the night. After a while, another man in a black cloak, wearing a face-covering hood, with a cold and stiff expression, emerged from the night, walking heavily towards the Black Moon Trade Association.

The Black Moon Trade Association operated 24 hours a day, even at night. Some valuable items, to prevent accidents, were often traded at the Black Moon Trade Association during the quiet hours of the night.

This was Yun Che's second visit to the Black Moon Trade Association, dressed the same as the first time. There were no other customers in the store, and the same clerk, who looked to be in his early thirties, stood behind the counter. It seemed to be the same clerk he had seen before.

Hearing the footsteps, the clerk did not look up, his face expressionless and lifeless: "Buy or sell?"

"Call your boss out." Yun Che spoke, his voice cold and stiff.

The clerk finally looked up, about to speak, but suddenly recognized the attire and face of the middle-aged man in front of him. After a brief moment of shock, he sprang up from his chair like a spring, his voice flustered: "Noble guest, please wait! I'll call the boss out right away."

Saying this, the clerk hurriedly ran upstairs.

Yun Che did not have to wait long. Pu He, adjusting his clothes, hurriedly came down. Seeing Yun Che, his face tightened, and he quickly came forward, greeting from a distance: "It's a noble guest. I was just about to sleep, making you wait for so long, I am truly at fault. I wonder what service the shop can offer you at this late hour?"

"I need your help with something." Yun Che extended his left hand, spreading it before Pu He. When Pu He's gaze fell on his palm, a crimson mystic pill suddenly appeared there: "I want you to buy this King Mystic Dragon Pill!"

Seeing the mystic pill appear in Yun Che's hand, Pu He's whole body trembled, his teeth almost chattering.

He saw clearly that Yun Che was not wearing a spatial ring, and the mystic pill had indeed appeared out of nowhere. This could only mean one thing... he had heard that at the Sovereign Mystic Realm, one could use powerful mystic power to create a small personal space. Thus, there was no need to wear a spatial ring; items could be stored directly in one's personal space, safe from theft.

The mystic pill in front of him had clearly been taken out of the void!

Could this person's cultivation already... already...

Sovereign Mystic Realm! That was a world-class existence, only found in the Holy Domain and the Sea Temple. Could this terrifying person really be from there? At such a realm, destroying the entire Cangfeng Empire would be effortless!

Pu He was not a cowardly person; on the contrary, he had experienced countless storms and had vast experience. But facing a world-class top expert who might be at the Sovereign Mystic Realm, even if his mental state were ten times stronger, he could not remain calm. His speech even became incoherent: "Noble... Noble guest! It's not that I don't want to buy this King Mystic Dragon Pill. It is a priceless treasure, and I dream of buying it. But this shop is just a small branch of the Black Moon Trade Association, and we simply don't have enough money."

"I only want 50,000 purple mystic coins." Yun Che slapped the King Mystic Dragon Pill on the counter, speaking coldly.

"What... What? 50,000 purple mystic coins?" Pu He's eyes widened, his lips trembling, almost thinking his ears were deceiving him.

50,000 purple mystic coins was undoubtedly an astronomical sum, equivalent to 500 million yellow mystic coins! It was enough to support a wealthy family for dozens of generations. But this price could barely buy a low-grade Heavenly Mystic Pill on the Cangfeng Continent, let alone a King Mystic Pill. Even 500,000 purple mystic coins would be impossible to buy one!

In the entire New Moon City, there were very few items that could be sold for 50,000 purple mystic coins. Selling a King Mystic Dragon Pill for 50,000 purple mystic coins... was almost like giving it away for free!
