Chapter 1268: Chapter 1264: I’m Not That Kind of Person!!!
During the auction’s midpoint, a sudden ’crack’ sound echoed.
Chi Yao swiftly turned his head to look in Yun Ran’s direction.
Originally enveloped by light, Yun Ran reappeared, emitting a gentle glow.
This instantly caught the eye of the Little Tower Spirit, who had been pretending to be dead.
During that moment, he truly feared that unpredictable man tremendously.
Although he was somewhat afraid of Yun Ran, compared to Chi Yao, the Little Tower Spirit still found Yun Ran, this ’familiar’, more approachable.
Yun Ran slowly opened her eyes, the Little Tower Spirit returned to his original form, and then swiftly dashed to Yun Ran’s side.
His eyes timidly glanced toward Chi Yao, a look that anyone with little experience would certainly think Chi Yao had done something.
Yun Ran still sat cross-legged, with a face full of anticipation: "Chi Yao, how did you end up with this little green tea?"
Chi Yao didn’t quite understand what ’little green tea’ means, but his intuition told him it wasn’t a good term.
"Don’t accuse me, I just looked at him."
Yun Ran shrugged, Chi Yao’s ’just looked at him’ was different from ordinary people’s understanding of just looking.
However, from the way Chi Yao spoke, Yun Ran somewhat believed they might indeed have some sort of past association.
The Little Tower Spirit looked at Yun Ran, then at Chi Yao, inexplicably feeling like his existence was quite redundant.
Although this feeling wasn’t great, the Little Tower Spirit’s primary concern at that moment was his safety.
Taking advantage of Yun Ran and Chi Yao’s conversation while they weren’t paying much attention to him, the Little Tower Spirit slowly retreated a few steps, again dissipating his energy to pretend as an inanimate object.
This time, he smartly chose to lean by the window while playing dead.
This way, even when pretending to be dead, he could see the scene of the auction below, what a perfect solution~
The auction below was lively, not in the slightest impacted by the presence of a Supreme Invitation Letter holder.
In the next moment, Yun Ran stood up, patted her clothes, and sat down calmly.
Chi Yao poured another glass of Medicine Liquid Essence, pushed it to Yun Ran, and poured himself a glass.
"You just broke through, drink another glass to stabilize."
Only those who have tasted this Medicine Liquid Essence would know how potent it is.
But Chi Yao seemed to really treat this Medicine Liquid Essence as if it was ordinary tea, drinking it readily.
Yun Ran twitched the corner of her mouth, this was the first time in her long life that she encountered someone even more reckless than herself.
But Yun Ran didn’t hesitate; there’s no reason not to take advantage, which isn’t her style.
She took the teacup and sipped it, letting the medicine energy rapidly spread through her body.
This overwhelming sense of power made Yun Ran uncontrollably want to claim the recipe for herself.
While pondering, Yun Ran directly asked: "Is this recipe for sale?"
Chi Yao thought Yun Ran would first ask why he appeared there or if he was interested in bidding on something.
He never expected Yun Ran would inquire about the Medicine Liquid Essence.
"Not for sale, but I can give it..."
Before Chi Yao finished his sentence, Yun Ran quickly shook her head, fearing he might complete his offer.
"Forget gifting, I’m not fond of accepting things freely without strings attached."
Free things are the most expensive, who knows what price you’d pay later.
Yun Ran thought she’d made her perspective clear enough, leaving the topic behind.
Unexpectedly, Chi Yao’s next words almost made Yun Ran choke on her own saliva.
"Heh~ really? But why do I recall someone once wishing to empty my treasury.
They even marked members of my family, claiming they all belonged to you?"
Yun Ran’s eyes widened in disbelief.
The tone was slightly agitated: "Impossible, I’m not that kind of person!!!"
Chi Yao quietly watched Yun Ran without saying more.
But his gaze clearly conveyed one meaning: Yes, you are that kind of person.
Yun Ran: ...
She laughed in exasperation.
Yun Ran simply felt her head was buzzing, the level of injustice felt overwhelming.
However, continuing to argue about being the type that exploits advantage felt somewhat humiliating.
Yun Ran immediately shifted the conversation: "Were we really that acquainted before? Why don’t I remember!"
She expected Chi Yao to recount past stories to prove it.
Who knew this guy would drop a bombshell the moment he spoke.
"You know we are currently in a Dream Realm, right?"
Yun Ran jumped up in shock.
Though she used to be a very composed person, now she felt startled repeatedly!
While the Little Tower Spirit pretended to be dead, with his full attention on the auction outside, he didn’t think there was anything left for him to do.
Just waiting to enjoy the auction’s liveliness and be done.
But now, what did he hear!
What does it mean that this is within a Dream Realm?
The shock made his energy unstable, not even playing dead properly.
Thinking back to earlier, when just Chi Yao’s glance almost scared him out of his wits.
Now he heard such an important secret...
The fear directly made it hard for him to maintain his form, feeling like he’d be silenced any moment.
Yet even in this situation, the Little Tower Spirit didn’t dare make any sound to plead.
His fear was so intense that Yun Ran couldn’t ignore it.
This distraction slightly eased the shock caused by Chi Yao’s words.
Yun Ran turned to look at the Little Tower Spirit, her expression seemingly dangerous.
The Little Tower Spirit suddenly kneeled to the ground: "Please... spare me..."
Yun Ran: ...
Good grief, he’s really treating her like the ultimate villain.
Yun Ran only intended to warn the spirit to keep his mouth shut.
She didn’t expect to scare him so much he couldn’t even speak clearly.
Chi Yao clearly saw Yun Ran’s speechless expression.
Since he rarely saw Yun Ran being so at a loss, Chi Yao couldn’t help but smile lightly.
"Don’t worry, this little tower has Prohibition, and the spirit born from it can’t leak my secrets."
These words not only puzzled Yun Ran.
Even the Little Tower Spirit felt a sense of confusion, unaware he had Prohibition on him.
