Free Web NovelChapter 2178: Chapter 2213: Struck It Rich
Madam Yan’s eyes flashed with a cold indifference and anger. Ding Fan was addicted to flirting? How little did this young man know about his own weight, did he really think he was a figure of importance?
Madam Yan was indeed impressive, as the coldness in her eyes disappeared in just one breath. However, a charming smile hung on her lips, and her eyes teased with a flirtatious smile. Her voice became extremely soft: "Ding Fan, it’s not that I haven’t given you a chance. When will you be able to defeat me? My boudoir door is always open for you, okay?"
Ding Fan smiled and asked, "What realm is Madam in now? What level warrior heritage do you have?"
Madam Yan said with slight pride, "Divine Realm Fifth Level First Stage! Sixth-level Martial Warrior Legacy!"
"Yes!"
Ding Fan nodded heavily, "Madam, just wait, three or five years later, I will walk into your boudoir."
"Hehe, such ambition."
Madam Yan swayed her serpentine waist as she walked outside and just as she was about to reach the door, she turned back to look at Ding Fan and said, "Ding Fan, if you want to enter my boudoir, you need a lot of resources. Think about it carefully, I’m waiting for your response."
"Enchantress, enchantress."
After Madam Yan left, Ding Fan’s mind trembled with waves. This woman was truly toxic, truly worthy of the name Iron Lady, a man’s nemesis. How enchanting would it be to be with her?
Ding Fan sat there, pondering, and could not figure out any solutions, but decided to delay matters first. He wouldn’t refuse the Herr Family, nor would he join them, and if the Daozhen Family was unhappy with his current actions and wanted to suppress him, he would deal with it then.
He had saved Herr Ningshuang’s life, so he thought they shouldn’t take action against him for now, right?
Since he had a plan, he saw no reason to cultivate and heal now. He didn’t consider it, because he knew that even if he racked his brains over it, he would never understand. His character was natural and optimistic, as long as his body was not in trouble, he would just wait for the injury to heal and return to the Skeleton Sect.
"Ah, there’s one more thing."
After sitting for a while, he suddenly remembered what he had obtained in the Tomb of Emperor Yelang, and he hadn’t carefully looked over them yet.
Earlier, Sirius had gone up the mountain to retrieve a sheepskin scroll, and then he had taken a space ring from the hilt of the Emperor’s coffin sword. Finally, he had also taken the ring from Zhong Wugu.
"Buzz buzz!"
Once he ensured no one was outside, a yellow sheepskin scroll appeared in his hand. He glanced at it and frowned because the parchment was inscribed with ancient script, which he couldn’t understand.
"I’ll go back and see if Mu Gaosou can decipher it."
After storing the sheepskin scroll, he took out Zhong Wugu’s ring. With his divine sense, he opened it and probed inside. Since Zhong Wugu was dead, the traces on it had vanished, allowing Ding Fan to easily refine the ring.
"Yes, not bad!"
As Ding Fan’s divine sense explored the ring, he quickly smiled. Zhong Wugu was worthy of being the young clan leader; there were many good items inside the ring.
There were at least a million pieces of Black Obsidian, battle armor, various medicine pills were plentiful, and there was even an advanced martial technique, which seemed to be a fine item. Ding Fan randomly estimated, and considered these items to be worth at least ten million Black Obsidian.
After exploring Zhong Wugu’s space ring, Ding Fan excitedly took out the space ring from the Emperor’s coffin sword. While refining it, he prayed silently, "Please don’t be empty, please don’t be empty."
An empty ring was worth ten million, though it was very valuable, Ding Fan still hoped there were some treasures inside. Anything belonging to the Night Wolf Emperor was priceless at any time.
"Buzz buzz!"
The space ring finally lit up, and the state inside the ring appeared in Ding Fan’s mind. Suddenly, his body trembled, and his hand shook, causing the ring to fall directly onto the bed. His lips trembled as he stammered, "I’ve struck it rich, I’ve really struck it rich this time." ƒrēewebnovel.com
This space ring was ten times larger than Ding Fan’s, with space equivalent to a castle,
but there were not many items inside, leaving it looking very empty. There were only dozens of types of spiritual materials, but Ding Fan recognized three very familiar fruits.
Limitless Fruit!
Three Limitless Fruits, worth over one hundred million Black Obsidian collectively, and these three Limitless Fruits were mixed with other materials, and were not even placed in jade boxes.
What did this signify?
It meant that the remaining spiritual materials should be on par with the Limitless Fruits, most importantly. There were also six jade boxes, and the things inside must be more valuable than the Limitless Fruits.
"Thirty-seven, thirty-eight, thirty-nine!"
Ding Fan counted, there were a total of thirty-nine spiritual materials. Apart from the Limitless Fruits, he didn’t recognize any of them. If every spiritual material had the same value as the Limitless Fruits, he didn’t know how much Black Obsidian it would be worth.
"Buzz buzz!"
Ding Fan grasped the ring and used True Yuan to inject into it. Six jade boxes appeared in his hand, and he opened them with trembling hands. In the first jade box, he found a beautiful herb that resembled a small dragon, and its color was gold.
When he opened this jade box, a rich fragrance spread, making Ding Fan feel refreshed from head to toe. This was definitely a supreme spiritual material. Ding Fan only took one glance before immediately closing the jade box. He feared the medicinal power would dissipate.
"Oh, all six jade boxes have the same contents?"
Ding Fan opened them one by one and found the items in the jade boxes were the same, all Golden Dragon Bell Herbs. He muttered in confusion, "What on earth are these things?"
He knew nothing about spiritual materials. He could only put the jade boxes into the space ring and then place the space ring into his own space ring.
"This time I’m really going places!"
He clenched his fist, his face flushed as if he were drunk, excited beyond control. Not to mention the other spiritual materials, just the three Limitless Fruits alone were worth over a hundred million Black Obsidian Stones. The value of the spiritual materials in this space ring was immeasurable.
"The Night Wolf Emperor’s space ring is truly an enormous treasure!"
Ding Fan nodded lightly, then suddenly thought of a question—this space ring hanging on the handle of the Divine Sword, was it placed there deliberately by that demon? To tempt people into pulling out the Divine Sword?
"The Emperor’s treasure is in the ancient coffin, how many treasures must be inside?"
Inconceivable, Ding Fan lightly sighed, feeling a bit of regret. If it weren’t for that demon, these treasures would have been theirs.
But...
The Herr Family from Tianmu Sea and members of the Three Great Royal Families went in first. If it hadn’t been for that demon, even this space ring would have been theirs first, and in that case, Ding Fan might not have even gotten a single hair.
"Good, good."
Ding Fan now felt that the trip was worthwhile. Even offending the Zhong Family didn’t matter anymore. He didn’t believe that the Zhong Family would dare to send assassins into Tianmu Sea. If such a thing really happened, Master Daozhen would be furious, and the Zhong Family could face destruction and extinction.
"Oh, and that strong one."
Ding Fan thought of the mysterious expert under Wolf Fall Cliff, and many doubts emerged in his heart. Steward He had told him what happened in the end, but he still felt something was off.
On the surface, it seemed there was a super expert cultivating at the bottom of Wolf Fall Cliff, and while they were fighting there, it awakened the old monster. Just when he was about to be killed, that old monster couldn’t stand it anymore and effortlessly killed Zhong Wushang, scaring off the people from the Three Great Royal Families.
That old monster later said something, but Ding Fan was unconscious and didn’t hear it; Steward He told him.
Ding Fan just couldn’t shake the feeling something wasn’t right. Was he really that lucky? Was there coincidentally an old monster cultivating at the bottom of the lake? And the old monster was a Seventh Level Divine Realm expert? And has a character that envies evil as much as vengeance? Couldn’t stand seeing outsiders bullying the people of Tianmu Sea?
If the old monster was so resentful of worldly affairs, would he have remained unknown to the outside world for so many years? According to Steward He, the Daozhen Family couldn’t find any information on this old monster.
A Seventh Level Divine Realm expert, who was aware of the "Might of Heaven and Earth," could he really be so nameless? How could he be so low-key? This definitely didn’t seem right.
What if it wasn’t a coincidence?
Could it be that someone deliberately arranged it?
This person deliberately saved him? If that’s the case, there are even more questions. He didn’t know any Seventh Level Divine Realm experts, not even one. Even the experts from the Ye Family and Meng Family in the other world only reached the Sixth Level Divine Realm at most.
There’s another possibility, that this person was left behind by the Old Sirius to protect the inheritance disciples!
But this also didn’t make sense, because he had previously encountered danger multiple times, in Great Python Mountain he even nearly died there. If the person was left by the Old Sirius to protect him, why didn’t they intervene earlier?
Ding Fan didn’t know! And couldn’t figure it out.
He also felt shrouded in mystery, always sensing that there was a big secret hidden within, but at this moment, he was still too weak to unravel the truth of this matter. He had a feeling that when he became strong enough, these secrets might all be revealed.
In such a circumstance, there’s nothing much to consider.
Ding Fan put aside the chaotic thoughts and began to recuperate easily, and things were improving. As for what might happen in the future, he believed there would be a way when the time comes. At least for now, he had an escape route; if any real danger arose, he could retreat into the other world of the Ye Family and Meng Family.
After half a day of cultivation and treatment, the maid brought a delicious meal at nightfall. Steward He visited him again with a very good attitude.
After having a sumptuous meal, Ding Fan reluctantly got up. With the maid’s assistance, he went to bathe. The maid even offered to personally help him bathe, but he refused.
After the bath, feeling refreshed, Ding Fan’s injuries were slightly better after a few days of recovery. He thought that in another three to five days he should be able to return to Skull Island.
Since he never intended to join the Daozhen Family, Ding Fan always felt awkward staying here. He wanted to return to Skull Island as soon as possible, have Mu Gaosou identify the scrolls and sheepskin scrolls, and secretly seek information to identify the spiritual materials in the ring and the Golden Dragon Herb in the jade box.
Ding Fan wandered around the castle and then returned to his room, where Sirius had awoken. Ding Fan fed him some Amethyst Ore, which Sirius happily devoured.
"Island Master Ding!"
The maid suddenly came in to inform him, "Miss Ningshuang is here to see you. Would you like to meet her in the room or outside?"
"Let’s meet outside."
Ding Fan could almost walk by himself now, and naturally, he couldn’t meet Herr Ningshuang in the room; that would be too impolite. He slowly walked outside, guided by the maid, and made his way into the hall.
Herr Ningshuang sat inside, wearing a light yellow long dress, with two small purple beads hanging from her earlobes and a purple gemstone necklace around her neck. Her eyes were like stars in the sky, and when Ding Fan walked in and took just one look, he was instantly captivated.
Herr Ningshuang noticed Ding Fan entering, suddenly saw him standing motionless at the door, staring directly at her, and a blush appeared on her beautiful face. Under the flickering candlelight, she looked even more beautiful than usual.
The maid didn’t dare to persuade Ding Fan, and a few seconds later, Ding Fan’s eyes returned to normal. He awkwardly cleared his throat and said, "I apologize, Miss Ningshuang, you look particularly beautiful tonight, and Ding Fan has embarrassed himself."
Herr Ningshuang often heard such compliments, but this time she felt something different. Usually, she could handle such scenes gracefully, but now she felt somewhat awkward and only managed a shy nod, her face flushed.
Ding Fan, with the support of his maid, sat on the chair next to Herr Ningshuang. After the maid served him a good cup of tea, she withdrew.
Ding Fan felt completely at ease, took a sip of tea, and said, "Miss Ningshuang, you truly look beautiful today. I’m not lying. I wonder what brings Miss Ningshuang to visit me?"
