School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1804 - 1890: Treasure

Those four Heavenly Monarchs hailed from the Ancient Golden Sword Sect, cultivators who, unlike the many Loose Cultivators in the Heaven Punishment Alliance, held onto their pride and adherence to a strict set of rituals.

While this Treasure Pavilion held no actual significance to them, the Golden Sword Sect sought to assert their dominance. They aimed to showcase their formidable strength by targeting two individuals they perceived as weaker, hoping to catch the eye of some attending beauties in the process.

Initially, they paid little mind to Chen Nan, only directing sharp glances at the Black-Feathered Chicken and Fire Qilin accompanying the four women. Their intention was to provoke trouble and force the companions to retreat, thereby creating an opportunity to play the role of protectors throughout the treasure appraisal conference in Lingxiao City.

Just as the quartet prepared to make their move, a young girl, appearing no older than fifteen or sixteen, gracefully descended from the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion. Dressed in a simple yet elegant dark green silk gown and clutching prayer beads, she let out a light cough. "Golden Sword Four Sons, have you perhaps forgotten the rules of Demon God Mountain in Lingxiao City? Do you truly believe that causing disturbances within my Treasure Pavilion will not result in the Demon God from the Punishment Cave of Demon God Mountain suppressing you?"

Despite her youthful appearance, the girl in the dark green dress spoke with an unwavering assertiveness. Her words carried an undeniable authority that commanded respect, causing everyone present to involuntarily turn their attention to her with a sense of awe.

Upon observing that she was merely a young girl, whose cultivation realm was only at the Immortal Domain Realm, most onlookers withdrew their gaze, feeling a sense of disappointment.

"Are you the manager of this Treasure Pavilion?"

The four Heavenly Monarchs were momentarily taken aback upon seeing the green-clad girl, but they quickly regained their composure, their eyes now filled with simmering anger and fury.

Having just been irritated by the Black-Feathered Chicken, they now found themselves being reprimanded by a cultivator merely at the Immortal Domain Realm. Had they been outside this establishment, they would have effortlessly dispatched the girl with a single palm strike. However, they were within Lingxiao City, where the shops lining the street had paid substantial compensation to Demon God Mountain and were thus under its protection. To initiate a conflict here would mean offending the entirety of Demon God Mountain.

Should the Demon God from the Punishment Cave intervene, their strength, even as disciples of an Ancient Sect, would prove insufficient. The Punishment Cave itself was backed by thirty-six Heavenly Caves and seventy-two islands, supported by fourteen immensely powerful figures who served as their ultimate safeguard – individuals they could not afford to antagonize.

Unable to act within the confines of the shop, the angry expressions vanished from the faces of the four Heavenly Monarchs. With a cold snort, they disappeared from their positions. Feeling humiliated in front of Liu Tiantian and her companions, they departed swiftly, oblivious to the fact that Liu Tiantian and her group hadn't even bestowed a second glance upon their pathetic display.

Chen Nan, employing his divine sense, swiftly ascertained the presence and value of any treasures within the Treasure Pavilion. He then located a comfortable spot to enjoy some tea, awaiting Liu Tiantian and her companions. Having previously accompanied women on shopping excursions back on Earth, he found himself remarkably at ease accompanying them through these establishments in the Panlong Star Domain.

"The manager of this Treasure Pavilion is quite intriguing," Chen Nan mused to himself.

He had just witnessed the girl's appearance and felt her aura was surprisingly potent. Without permission, he had deployed his divine sense to probe her, yet discovered nothing significant – truly just a young cultivator in the Immortal Domain Realm, a fact he found rather peculiar.

Beyond the mere aura of an Immortal Domain Realm cultivator, her ability to utterly disregard the presence of the four Heavenly Monarchs was truly... astonishing.

Chen Nan recalled once experiencing a similar aura emanating from the Jiuyin Evil Emperor, that supreme powerhouse who had once subjugated the Demon Clan Supreme. This girl's aura seemed to originate from a similar source.

"This girl in green either grew up surrounded by countless powerful individuals, or..." Chen Nan halted his thoughts, questioning if he was perhaps overanalyzing the situation.

The Black-Feathered Chicken ascended to the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion, and after a brief period, returned with visible excitement. It hurried over to Chen Nan, eager to show off: "Chen Nan, take a look! This rare Demon Flower, I've managed to find it here! Haha, it only cost a few Double Infant Immortal Pills, what a bargain!"

Chen Nan glanced towards the Fire Qilin, which then opened its mouth, exhaling a fiery red stone.

"Red Fire Crystal Stone. It will indeed be highly beneficial for your current internal Poison Fire cultivation," Chen Nan nodded, having already noticed the Red Fire Crystal Stone earlier.

The Fire Qilin, filled with joy, joined Liu Tiantian and the others inside the Treasure Pavilion, having likely detected its presence from a distance.

"What are you dawdling around here for, silly? Come and help me decide what to choose," Su Qingqing approached Chen Nan, gently pulling him into the shop.

Chen Nan felt a sense of bewilderment; his divine sense scan had failed to detect any truly exceptional treasures within the vicinity. Yet, Su Qingqing, a mischievous girl who consorted with the Jiuyin witch, was struggling to make a selection. Could he have overlooked something significant?

However, the very next moment brought a chuckle to his lips.

He had, in fact, forgotten the innate nature of women—Su Qingqing was deliberating between a necklace and a pair of earrings, finding herself unable to make a decisive choice.

Both pieces were undeniably exquisite, even fashioned from materials suitable for forging divine artifacts. If considered as accessories of divine artifact-level quality, and further enhanced with additional restrictions, their latent power could be unleashed to an even greater extent.

"Why deliberate? Acquire both," Chen Nan suggested.

"They require Nine Heavens Mysterious Iron and Ten-thousand-year-old Ice Stone for exchange..."

The cultivators within the Treasure Pavilion couldn't help but exchange amused glances upon hearing Chen Nan's seemingly extravagant pronouncement, perceiving him as rather naive. Those two items were of divine artifact-level; even a Late-stage Expert would hesitate at such ostentation.

Nevertheless, their astonishment knew no bounds when Chen Nan produced the required materials from his Storage Ring—Ten-thousand-year-old Ice Stone, a crucial component for enabling an ice-attribute divine artifact to unleash its ultimate attack, exceedingly rare and valuable, and he presented a chunk the size of a human head.

The Treasure Pavilion, in this transaction, was undoubtedly securing a substantial profit.

While Chen Nan and his entourage were reveling in the opulence of the Treasure Pavilion, a clandestine gathering was taking place in an alley adjacent to the pavilion's rear courtyard wall, where several individuals were plotting against them.

These conspirators numbered seven or eight, their leader being the very same cultivator from the Golden Sword Sect who had been utterly dumbfounded by the Black Feathered Chicken and the Fire Qilin earlier in the Treasure Pavilion.

"Brother, are you certain there won't be repercussions for causing trouble within Lingxiao City?" inquired one of the eight cultivators, whose cultivation base was the most rudimentary among them.

A sense of unease gripped him; the Human Clan traditionally perceived themselves as superior, yet these Demon Gods were not to be underestimated. Within the same cultivation realm, Demon Gods could manifest a greater degree of combat power, certainly not inferior to their own Sword Cultivators.

The middle-aged leader let out a disdainful sneer. "What apprehension do you harbor? That Black Chicken and Little Beast are merely at the Early Stage Demon God Realm. As for that pretty boy, his appearance suggests frailty, his strength likely not that formidable. Our objective is simply a swift resolution. And, exercise caution to avoid harming those four captivating beauties, particularly the curvaceous one—she's my personal favorite, hehe..."
