I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

These two items are a large black bell and a rope covered with rune markings. They are the two great treasures of the Taicang Holy Land that Zhao Heng brought: the Soul-Suppressing Bell and the God-Binding Rope.

Although Chu Feng didn't recognize the two items, he knew they must be treasures.

He immediately used his blood to bind the two treasures to him, and the information about the two treasures immediately appeared in his mind.

"The Soul-Suppressing Bell!"

"Binding God Rope!"

Chu Feng smiled as he looked at the two treasures. One was a soul weapon specifically designed to target the divine soul, and the other was a weapon to restrain demonic beasts. Both were supreme treasures of extraordinary quality.

"This time I actually got two bargains!"

Chu Feng smiled lightly. Apart from the Burial Coffin and the Human Emperor Seal, he didn't have any other weapons. Now that he had two more weapons, it did increase his combat power!

He then tore through the void and returned to the Nine Heavens Star Domain.

As soon as they returned to the palace of the Great Xia Dynasty, the patriarch of the Shen family came to greet them, his face showing a mixture of excitement and doubt.

"My Lord, the number one merchant guild in the Heavenly Realm, the Wanbao Merchant Guild, has just sent an invitation."

He handed a shimmering jade slip to Chu Feng.

"We have been invited to the Apocalypse Starfield to participate in the once-in-a-century Wanbao Auction. It is said that the grand finale of this auction is extraordinary, even the holy lands are coveting it."

The old patriarch of the Shen family spoke with a hint of confusion: "However, I can't understand why the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce would send us an invitation. Logically speaking, our Great Xia Dynasty is far from reaching that level."

"This is a good thing." Chu Feng took the jade slip and smiled. "This shows that our Great Xia Dynasty has initially made a name for itself and has come into the sights of those top powers."

He looked at the magnificent characters "Wanbao" on the jade slip, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

An auction? That's something I'd like to check out.

Upon returning to the Great Xia Dynasty, Chu Feng did not set off immediately.

While the Wanbao Auction is tempting, the foundation within the Divine Dynasty must be solidified first.

He first contacted Feng You, asking him to set up several large arrays at the headquarters of the Great Xia Divine Dynasty that were both defensive and offensive, as well as a spirit-gathering array that could enhance the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Feng You puffed out his beard and glared, annoyed, and scolded, "You brat, are you really treating this old man like a cow?!"

Chu Feng chuckled, "Senior, the capable should do more, isn't this just proof of your skill!"

"Hmph, you're just a suck-up!"

Feng You glared at Chu Feng, and then began to do as he was told.

Having dealt with Feng You, Chu Feng then summoned Chen Daoshan and the Shen family patriarch.

"Master Chen, who inflicted your previous hidden injuries?" Chu Feng asked Chen Daoshan.

Chen Daoshan's body stiffened almost imperceptibly, then he shook his head, avoiding Chu Feng's gaze: "Thank you for your concern, Divine Lord. This old servant's injury is an old ailment, it's nothing serious."

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Chu Feng did not press him further, but secretly made a mental note of it.

With a flick of his wrist, dozens of jade slips, each shimmering with different colors, appeared on the table.

"Here are some cultivation techniques and martial arts skills. Select a group of absolutely reliable elites and train them with all your might. My Great Xia Dynasty needs a true elite army."

Chen Daoshan and the Shen family patriarch probed the jade slip with their divine senses. The next moment, the two of them were struck dumb as if by lightning.

"This...this is...a Saint-level cultivation technique?!"

"And... Supreme-level martial arts techniques?!"

The two looked at the jade slips as if they were looking at the most incredible treasures in the world, and their breathing became rapid.

If any one of these techniques or martial arts were to be passed on, it would be enough to cause a bloodbath in the Heavenly Realm!

And now, Chu Feng actually took out dozens of them like throwing away cabbages!

The way they looked at Chu Feng had completely changed.

It was no longer just simple awe, but a heartfelt, fervent worship!

Everything was arranged, and night fell.

Chu Feng returned to his palace, preparing to cultivate in peace and consolidate his newly broken-through cultivation, when a soft knock came from outside the door.

"Who?"

"Lord God...it is me, Shen Qingxue." A cold yet tense voice came from outside the door.

Chu Feng raised an eyebrow and opened the palace door.

Shen Qingxue stood gracefully outside the door, dressed in a gossamer-thin, moon-white gauze dress.

Under the moonlight, her stunningly beautiful face gained an even more ethereal beauty, but her clear, cold phoenix eyes seemed to dart away, unable to meet Chu Feng's gaze.

"Is something the matter?" Chu Feng asked.

Shen Qingxue bit her lower lip lightly, as if she had mustered up a great deal of courage, before raising her head, her beautiful eyes shimmering with tears.

"The God has saved me from danger many times and protected my Shen family. Qingxue... has no way to repay him."

She took a deep breath, slowly knelt down, her voice soft yet incredibly firm.

"Qingxue does not seek any title or status, she only wishes... she only wishes to stay by the God's side, to serve you tea and water, to be your servant, in order to repay the God's grace."

As she finished speaking, her snow-white neck was flushed red.

Chu Feng looked at her, understanding dawning on his mind.

This woman is quite clever. She knows that only by completely tying herself to Chu Feng can she and the Shen family behind her truly rest easy.

Chu Feng remained silent for a moment.

To be honest, since arriving in the Heavenly Realm, he has been on edge, spending his days either fighting or cultivating, and has not been able to truly relax for a long time.

He reached out and helped Shen Qingxue up from the ground. His fingers touched her smooth, jade-like skin, and he could clearly feel her delicate body trembling slightly.

He didn't say anything, but simply picked her up by the waist, turned around, and walked into the hall.

As the palace doors slowly closed, a faint gasp of surprise, along with the woman's increasingly rapid breathing, gradually rose into the air!

Just then, another figure quietly appeared outside the palace.

It was a jade ruyi.

She had just reached the door, raised her hand, and was about to knock.

Inside the hall, a suppressed, blush-inducing sound could be faintly heard.

Yu Ruyi's movements froze instantly.

Her pure and pretty face suddenly turned as red as if it were about to bleed.

She stood there blankly, listening to the intermittent yet increasingly intense noises, feeling her whole body burning up and completely at a loss.

"This...this..."

Involuntarily, images of Yin-Yang dual cultivation that she had seen in ancient books surfaced in her mind.

Finally, she stomped her foot and, like a startled fawn, turned and ran away as if fleeing.

No sleep for one night.

The next day, when Chu Feng walked out of his palace feeling refreshed, he happened to run into Yu Ruyi, who had come to report on some matters.

"Good morning," Chu Feng greeted with a smile.

When Yu Ruyi saw him, her pretty face flushed unnaturally, and her eyes darted around, revealing an indescribable strangeness.

"God... God, good morning."

Chu Feng felt a little confused. What's wrong with this girl today?

Without giving it much thought, he gathered everyone together and gave them some simple instructions.

The daily operations of the Great Xia Dynasty were fully managed by the patriarch of the Shen family.

Chen Daoshan was in charge of selecting elites to form the Divine Dynasty Guard.

He himself, on the other hand, had to set off immediately for the Apocalypse Star Region.

Before leaving, seeing the still somewhat strange look in Yu Ruyi's eyes, he couldn't help but ask, "You...is something the matter?"

Yu Ruyi's heart skipped a beat when he looked at her, and she quickly shook her head, "No...it's nothing!"

After saying that, she turned and ran away before Chu Feng could ask any more questions.

Chu Feng scratched his head, full of confusion, and led Lao Hei onto the Cloud Chasing Boat.

The golden flying boat transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the far reaches of the Nine Heavens Starfield.
