I am an incredibly handsome man, and my fiancée refuses to call off the engagement even at the cost

The white-clad man she had scolded was none other than Gu Yan, who had escaped. Although the girl in the pale yellow dress didn't speak loudly, he was sharp-eared and heard her.

Gu Yan looked completely bewildered behind his mask. What did he do? Why was he cursing at him?

This is absolutely incomprehensible!

Not only did the girl in the pale yellow dress mistake Gu Yan for a spiritual master who cultivated bewitching and evil arts, but even the woman in green beside her mistakenly believed that Gu Yan had mastered the art of seduction to an unparalleled degree, which was why he could make people lose their minds even when wearing a mask. The longer they looked at him, the deeper the influence they felt.

The woman in green found it strange, because the white-robed man's aura was very clean, so clean that it had a sense of holiness. This did not seem like the kind of evil spirit who cultivated bewitching and evil arts and liked to seduce women and replenish their yang energy.

The woman in green was a second-grade alchemist with a spiritual sense ten times stronger than others of the same level. However, she found that she could not see through the cultivation level of the man in white.

Could he be a powerful expert at the Heavenly Spirit Realm?

At this moment, Gu Yan has indeed returned to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which is equivalent to a Heavenly Spirit Realm expert.

"Junior Sister Ruolan, Junior Sister Feiyan, you're here! I've been looking for you everywhere!"

A man's voice sounded behind the woman in green and the girl in pale yellow. They turned around and saw a young man in a moon-white robe walking towards them.

The young man in the moon-white robe looked to be no more than twenty years old. His strength was at the early stage of the Earth Spirit Realm. He was quite handsome and held a folding fan in his hand, dressed like a noble young master.

The moment this person appeared, a hint of hidden disgust and impatience flashed in the eyes of the girl in the pale yellow dress. The woman in green beside her looked at him and said, "Senior Brother Mo."

"Junior Sister Ruolan, the scenery here isn't very interesting. Why don't we go and explore the market on this ship? We might find something unexpected," Mo Fanqi said with a smile.

The giant ship's final destination was Tianyang City in Fufeng County, with eight transit points along the way. The journey took several months. In addition to rooms of various sizes, the ship also had taverns, restaurants, eateries, and markets and trade fairs where spirit masters could trade with each other.

Xu Ruolan, like her junior sister Liu Feiyan, didn't really like her senior brother Mo Fanqi, but she was indeed somewhat interested in the trade fair he mentioned. She looked at Liu Feiyan beside her and asked, "Feiyan, are you going?"

Liu Feiyan said, "If Senior Sister Ruolan goes, I'll go too."

So Xu Ruolan said to Mo Fanqi, "Okay, let's go take a look."

Upon hearing this, Mo Fanqi beamed and gestured with the folding fan in invitation. Before leaving, Xu Ruolan and Liu Feiyan both glanced down, but Gu Yan was already gone. For some reason, they were a little disappointed not to see Gu Yan.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

In the market on the ship.

Wearing a mask, Gu Yan walked through a bustling market. The market wasn't large, but it was quite lively. There were vendors selling goods, and others bartering.

"A bottle of top-grade Qi-replenishing pills only costs two hundred spirit stones, and you get one free when you buy three! Everyone passing by, come and take a look!"

"Armor, protective armor, all kinds of materials available. Meeting you is fate, everything is 20% off! Everything is 20% off!"

Many vendors were enthusiastically soliciting customers. Gu Yan walked past a stall and was stopped by a disheveled young man who was smiling broadly and holding a sword.

"Young master, do you need a spirit weapon? How about this Purple Cloud Sword? It's only five thousand spirit stones. You absolutely won't find such a cheap high-grade Xuan weapon anywhere else."

In this world, the weapons used by spirit masters are called spirit weapons. These spirit weapons can be divided into ordinary weapons, mystical weapons, treasure weapons, spirit weapons, weapon masters, sacred artifacts, and divine artifacts, from low to high.

Gu Yan glanced at the Purple Cloud Sword and shook his head. Even if his Purple Mansion contained a terrifying number of magical treasures, he wouldn't buy the Purple Cloud Sword if he didn't have any. This sword was merely a low-grade Xuan weapon, worth at most a thousand spirit stones.

In the Cloud Realm, spirit stones, spirit crystals, and spirit jade are the common currencies used even by ordinary humans. This realm is rich in spirit mines, which is why prices are high.

Seeing Gu Yan leave, the disheveled young man chased after her, calling out:

"Don't go, young master! I can give you a discount! 20% off, 20% off, 30% off, 40% off, 50% off—that's a blood-sucking price!"

Gu Yan smiled behind her mask, naturally without turning around.

He was missing a few medicinal herbs, so he came here to try his luck and see if he could buy them in the market on this ship.

After walking several hundred meters, Gu Yan spotted the medicinal herb she needed at a nearby stall: a Moon Crystal Flower sealed inside a small wooden box. She stopped and asked the stall owner:

"How much are the crystal flowers this month?"

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man wearing a black robe, with a cultivation level of the late Great Spirit Realm. He was lying on a rocking chair, holding a palm-leaf fan and fanning himself lazily.

Upon hearing Gu Yan's ethereal voice, he immediately sat up. He looked at Gu Yan, who was wearing a mask, with surprise, thinking to himself:

How did he know that my box contained Moon Crystal Flowers? This box is specially made! Is his spiritual sense that strong? Could he be a master of the Earth Spirit Realm?

Upon closer inspection of Gu Yan, one could not discern his cultivation level at all. Instead, the more one looked, the more one felt that the person before him possessed an outstanding temperament and imposing bearing. Realizing that the other party was a master of the Earth Spirit Realm, or perhaps even above it, he immediately stood up and respectfully said:

"Senior, this Moon Crystal Flower sells for 100,000 spirit stones."

"The price is reasonable." Gu Yan smiled, took out a mustard seed bag from her storage ring, and tossed it over.

There are many types of storage containers in the Cloud Realm, such as storage rings, storage bracelets, storage necklaces, and mustard seed bags, in various styles. Gu Yan had already studied the mustard seed bag carefully; it was actually the same as a storage bag, even the manufacturing methods and materials were similar.

The shopkeeper scanned the bag with his divine sense and found that the number of spirit stones inside was not less than expected. He immediately beamed and presented the box containing the moon crystal flower.

Gu Yan took it, opened it, glanced at it, and was about to put it into her storage ring when she heard a voice: "Young master, could you give me that Moon Crystal Flower? I'm willing to pay double the price."

Upon hearing this gentle voice, Gu Yan turned around and saw Xu Ruolan, Liu Feiyan, and Mo Fanqi walking towards him, followed by several attendants.

Xu Ruolan and Liu Feiyan were already eye-catching due to their beauty, but Mo Fanqi's playboy demeanor and the fact that two of his followers were at the Earth Spirit Realm made them even more remarkable.

Those around them were all wondering which family's young masters and ladies these were.

Gu Yan looked at Xu Ruolan. Although this woman did not possess the stunning beauty of Chen Yujing, nor was she as beautiful as Song Yan or Su Ningxue, or even as radiant as the girl in yellow beside her, her temperament was exceptional. Her demeanor was elegant and quiet, making her very pleasant to be around.

However, even such an outstanding girl's exceptional temperament seemed ordinary in front of Gu Yan. Even with a mask on, Gu Yan, simply standing there, possessed an ethereal and graceful beauty, like a clear moon and clouds.

Gu Yan clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Sorry, I have a use for this."

He clearly rejected Xu Ruolan, but when Xu Ruolan looked at him, her heart skipped a beat and a strange emotion welled up inside her.

Xu Ruolan wasn't the only one who felt this way; many of the young men and women around her shared the same feeling. Some even had impure thoughts after hearing Gu Yan's voice.

Gu Yan's innate charm is an indiscriminate attack; everyone will be affected, but the degree of effect varies from person to person. Generally speaking, it is more effective on women than men.
