Chapter 45 Timing

Chapter 45: The Right Time

A few days later.

The Barren Region, Stone Country Royal Capital.

Lin Fan walked on the bustling street, looking at the dazzling array of shops, touching here and buying there, humming a little tune, in an excellent mood.

“How many years have I walked alone… A flick of a finger, a dream, but an instant… Who will understand this success or failure…”

The song exuded a carefree and free-spirited vibe, making people want to hum along, drawing the attention of countless people on the road.

“Hey, why do we have to travel all the way to the Barren Region for training? Can’t we go somewhere else?” Yue Chan asked. She was still confused, not knowing what this guy was up to.

Especially after he arrived in the Barren Region, he had been strolling and playing, like a little kid who hadn’t seen the world in ages.

“Wifey, you should enjoy life while you still can, because you won’t have the chance later.” Lin Fan smiled cunningly, without explaining, and walked towards the auction house, which had the most news.

“What do you mean, you won’t have the chance? What are you trying to do?” Yue Chan couldn’t help but shiver, her back turning cold. She always felt that following him would lead to no good.

Moreover, this guy was astonishingly thick-skinned. They hadn’t even become Dao Companions, yet he was already calling her “Wifey,” which was quite shameless.

Soon, the two arrived at a grand tall building, named the Bone Gu Auction House, the most renowned auction house in Stone Country, housing countless treasures and many rare items.

Of course, for people from major powers like Lin Fan and Yue Chan, this place seemed rather ordinary.

However, they weren’t here to bid on items, but to gather information and purchase a detailed map of the Great Barren, preparing for their upcoming training.

“Oh, whose child is this? So beautiful…”

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl stepped down from a bronze carriage, dressed luxuriously, with an extraordinary temperament, and also lively and cute, like a Little Chili.

Her slender waist, long legs, long black hair reaching her waist, a melon-seed face, skin like snow, and bright eyes like stars, were accompanied by a group of powerful cultivators behind her.

Lin Fan glanced slightly, not paying much attention, and entered the auction house with Yue Chan.

“What? So cold at such a young age? He didn’t even pay attention to this Princess.” The girl pouted, a little unhappy.

But from her words, it could be inferred that this girl had an extraordinary identity. Daring to call herself a Princess, she should be a Princess of a country.

In fact, it was indeed so. The girl’s arrival immediately caused a sensation.

“Nine Princess is here!”

Everyone looked around. This Princess was deeply loved by the Human Emperor in Stone Country, and her uninhibited personality made her very famous in the Royal Capital.

Next, groups of people arrived, whose identities were all extraordinary in Stone Country and even the Barren Region.

Among them, many older generation powerhouses like kings and marquises came in person, their auras terrifying, some even arriving together, seemingly attaching great importance to this auction.

In addition, there were some young men and women who successively entered the auction house, seemingly all Geniuses of Stone Country, coming here to participate in the auction.

As for Lin Fan, he directly chose the most luxurious private room, sitting inside and drinking wine, with two beautiful maidens serving him at his side.

“Are you here to play, or to train? If it’s the former, I won’t accompany you!” Yue Chan said coldly, her fair face full of dissatisfaction, rolling her eyes at him.

“What’s the rush? Or are you jealous, Wifey?” Lin Fan raised an eyebrow. With just a glance, the maid beside him immediately poured a glass of fine wine, feeling very comfortable and at ease.

After all, as Emperor Liu said, I’ve fought for so long, can’t I enjoy myself a little?

“Don’t call me that randomly, I’m not your Wifey yet.” Yue Chan gritted her teeth, not fond of those two words.

If she couldn’t beat this guy, she really wanted to suppress him fiercely. He was too tormenting, nagging in her ear for several days.

One moment it was “Wifey,” the next it was “my dear,” giving her goosebumps all over.

He was only nine years old, yet he knew more than some adults, always saying things that made her blush. He was a complete little pervert, polluting her ears.

“Uh…”

Even the two beautiful maidens serving them were stunned, not realizing that there was such a relationship between the two. Or were young people nowadays so precocious and adventurous?

Suddenly, a commotion erupted in the auction house, drawing everyone’s attention.

“Look, it’s Shi Ziteng, the father of the Martial King Mansion’s innate Dual-Pupil user!”

“I heard more than that, that Shi Yi is also an innate Supreme…”

A group of people discussed, looking at the young man who walked in through the door, extraordinary and refined, his skin as white and lustrous as jade, his face handsome, appearing very elegant.

“Dual-Pupil plus innate Supreme, a double First Generation?!” Yue Chan was startled, the surrounding discussions naturally falling into her ears.

“Saintess, Young Master, this child Shi Yi has extraordinary talent and is very worthy of being brought into our Butian Sect.”

An old voice came out, it was the Dao Protector for Yue Chan and Lin Fan on this trip, a Peak Venerable Realm old man and an old woman.

“If this child Shi Yi grows up, he will surely be the overlord of the Barren Region in the future, which will be of great benefit to the Butian Sect. He must not be snatched by other forces, otherwise…” The old woman’s voice became somewhat sinister at the end.

Clearly, the two Dao Protectors of the Butian Sect both attached great importance to Shi Yi, were very optimistic about his future, and were quite restless.

Although Shi Yi’s age was not great now, around seven or eight years old, it was said that he had already set several records in the initial land of the Void God Realm, possessing the potential of a Saint.

As some people revealed the news, the old woman couldn’t sit still, her tone urgent, wanting to immediately bring the Dual-Pupil user into the Butian Sect, and if not, to eliminate him.

“Saintess, Young Master, what do you think?” the old woman asked.

Yue Chan had some thoughts, but still didn’t speak, instead looking at Lin Fan, wanting to hear his opinion.

“No need, it’s just a Dual-Pupil, and this person’s Heart-Nature isn’t very good. The origin of his Supreme Bone isn’t legitimate, you know…” Lin Fan shook his head, not taking it to heart.

Who isn’t a First Generation these days? There are a whole bunch of them in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but only a few truly grow up. The key depends on oneself.

“His Supreme Bone isn’t innate?” Yue Chan understood the implication.

Lin Fan nodded and casually explained a few sentences: “That bone came from his cousin. Someone who forcibly takes another’s bone like that might betray the sect one day if brought in. It’s not worth it.”

“So that’s how it is. Stealing someone’s bone and grafting it into oneself is truly malicious.” Yue Chan immediately lost interest.

However, she was curious how Lin Fan knew this. He seemed to be coming to the Lower Realm for the first time, right?

“In that case, he can’t be kept.” The old woman spoke again, revealing a hint of Killing Intent.

Lin Fan was speechless. This Granny Xihua’s killing nature was a bit too great. Although she was considering it for the Butian Sect, it could easily backfire.

At this moment, another Dao Protector advised: “Xi Hua, don’t be impulsive. The safety of the Saintess and Young Master comes first. This place is the Stone Country Royal Capital, and its foundation is not simple.”

“Yu Lao is right. There’s no need to bother with Shi Yi. Evil people will be dealt with by other evil people. Someone will take care of him.” Lin Fan said indifferently.

He only cared about the Legacy of the Supreme Hall; everything else was irrelevant.

And based on Shi Yi’s age, the little baby should be around three or four years old now, which means that this period is just right for the Mountain Treasure to appear. The timing couldn’t be better!
