Ever since he learned about what happened at the auction house in Fanyin City, he had been paying attention to Jin Bao'er. He quickly investigated her background and, upon learning that she had a connection with the Dragon Clan, possessed considerable strength, and was beautiful, he developed a desire to win her over…
However, he couldn't find her afterward. It wasn't until the drastic change in the number one position on the Divine Rankings that he was shocked, and he began searching for Jin Bao'er!
He had spent the past few days requesting support from the Gong Jue family, and he never expected to encounter Jin Bao'er here, which is why he had been discreetly following her!
With the young master's selection imminent, he had to secure enough influence. Jin Bao'er, who was currently being courted by all seven great families, was a key target. If he could win her over, the position of young master would be practically guaranteed.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and his gaze towards Jin Bao'er grew more fervent! He looked at her like a pauper gazing at a hen that laid golden eggs…
Jin Bao'er was speechless after listening to him! Where did all this confidence come from?
"Oh, I refuse… you can leave now!"
Lin Lang Qingyun's excited expression froze as it had not yet faded. He looked at Jin Bao'er in disbelief.
"Wh-why?"
Unbeknownst to him, in Jin Bao'er's eyes, his demeanor made him look like an imbecile! She turned around directly, too lazy to bother with such a bizarre individual!
Seeing this, Lin Lang Qingyun disregarded his fear and rushed in front of her, reaching out as if to grab her leg…
"Bang!"
He was then kicked flying, his body getting snagged on a protruding tree branch.
Jin Bao'er turned her head, her gaze filled with disdain and arrogance!
"Do you think I care about the meager possessions of the Lin Lang family?"
Why did the Lin Lang family produce so many strange individuals? The previous Lin Lang Qingxin was also like this!
She frowned, completely unwilling to engage with him, yet she failed to notice Lin Lang Qingyun's expression of sudden realization after a moment of stunned silence! He then pondered for a moment and, with a slightly troubled tone, shouted loudly.
"I understand! I agree to your terms!"
Seeing that Jin Bao'er's departure was not wavering in the slightest, he quickly continued to shout, simultaneously drawing the attention of some people on the street.
"I'll marry you! I'll marry you, alright?! As long as you help me, I promise to let you become the future mistress of the Lin Lang family!"
After roaring this, Lin Lang Qingyun saw the figure who was about to leave abruptly stop. A flicker of disgust surged within him! He had thought she looked decent, and it wouldn't be a loss for him, but he hadn't expected this woman to be so greedy! He detested such women the most!
Indeed, the only one in this world who could match him was his Wan Wan! All other women were after his status and wealth.
When Jin Bao'er heard those words, she was completely stunned! Her stiffened footsteps halted at that very moment. She dared to say that in both her lives, she had never encountered such a peculiar person!
Her current mood was a mixture of anger and amusement! It was truly like a scumbag opening a door for another scumbag, a complete scumbag-fest!
She turned around, completely ignoring the onlookers peering inside from not far away… her gaze fell on the person who had just jumped down from the tree trunk! Then, she walked towards him step by step.
Lin Lang Qingyun was already regretting what he had just agreed to, and he increasingly disliked Jin Bao'er in his heart. However, he still had to maintain appearances. He forced a gentle and handsome smile.
"Don't worry, since I've promised, I certainly..."
"Slap!"
A fair, jade-like hand whistled through the air, landing directly on his face, burning with pain!
Before he could recover from the shock, the woman in front of him looked at him with those deep, cold eyes! Her voice was mocking!
"I've seen confident people, but I've never seen someone as narcissistic as you! Marry me? Go pee and look at yourself, what kind of toad are you? The Lin Lang family? Hmph!"
She was increasingly enjoying this method of slapping.
Lin Lang Qingyun snapped back to reality, his face flushing with anger! He raised his hand to attack Jin Bao'er! As if wanting to return the slap he had just received…
"Shut up! You shrew!"
Jin Bao'er's eyes flashed, showing no intention of dodging! The onlookers not far away only felt a blinding white light suddenly illuminate around her. When they saw clearly, they gasped in unison!
In the blink of an eye, countless slender ice needles hovered in mid-air, shimmering with fine, dazzling light under the faint sunlight. A chilling aura spread, sharp and dangerous!
Especially near the outstretched hand of Lin Lang Qingyun, it was almost completely enveloped by the slender ice needles. If he dared to move even a centimeter forward, he would likely be instantly impaled like a hedgehog…
A bone-chilling cold seeped into his palm, and Lin Lang Qingyun suddenly woke up, his face ashen!
At the same time, he finally noticed something…
She was not in the Void Breaking Realm!
Thinking of this, his voice began to tremble along with his body…
"You… you've advanced?"
Jin Bao'er sneered at his reaction! So, he wasn't just arrogant and foolish, but he thought it was easy to bully a lone girl like her from the Void Breaking Realm!
"Disappointed? Heavenly Dao Saint, third stage!"
After she spoke, she quickly noticed Lin Lang Qingyun's pupils constrict sharply. A wave of contempt arose in her heart…
When Lin Lang Qingyun recovered, the white figure had long since left, and the slender, dense ice needles near his suspended palm still showed no signs of disappearing. He wanted to retract his stiff hand and arm, but he accidentally touched a few ice needles. A bone-piercing, heart-rending coldness instantly descended upon him…
Then, it spread through his nerves and instantly engulfed his entire body, causing him such pain that he couldn't even cry out! His hair stood on end, and he was filled with fear and panic.
As the sky completely darkened, the ice needles also disappeared. Lin Lang Qingyun, who had maintained that posture for half the day, suddenly collapsed to the ground, his muscles twitching. He became agitated and anxious…
He had to go back! He absolutely had to tell his father that this Jin Bao'er… could not be kept alive!
A few days later, Jin Bao'er arrived at a location based on the address provided by the owner of Lin Lang Pavilion. Looking at the desolate and bleak gate before her, she felt a touch of surprise.
It wasn't that she was being picky, but she found it strange that a top-tier artifact refiner would live in such a spacious and simple place.
Just then, the gate suddenly opened, and a little radish wearing gray clothes, carrying a broom twice the size of his entire body, walked out…
Before he could even begin sweeping, he saw the sapphire-blue figure! A trace of vigilance and surprise flashed in his eyes!
"Has this fairy lost her way?"
After all, there weren't many people in this mountain, and he had met most of them. If he had met someone as beautiful as the woman before him, he wouldn't have forgotten!
If she wasn't lost, he couldn't think of a second reason. She certainly couldn't be here to refine artifacts, right? Thinking of the sect's current situation, he immediately dismissed this possibility…
Seeing his reaction, Jin Bao'er did not look down on the little radish. She stated calmly.
"I am Jin Bao'er, and I seek an audience with Chu Tianlin, the Sect Master of the Artifact Refining Sect!"
The little radish was startled. He hadn't expected her to be looking for his master. It seemed as if he had thought of something, and his eyes lit up. Then, without changing his expression, he examined Jin Bao'er from head to toe!
