Chapter 160: Playing It Big

“Aunt! Do you really think I won’t live for more than 10 years with this character of mine?”

Li Rong was holding back her tears in the back hall, looking pitiful.

A beautiful woman with a graceful figure was lying on her side on the chaise longue, listening to Li Rong’s sobs seriously.

This beautiful woman was lying on her side on the chaise longue, like a noble and lazy cat. Her ink-like black hair flowed down to her waist, exhibiting a mature temperament.

Her red lips were not stained, but they were bright red. She gave off a smile that was not a smile, giving off an unfathomable feeling.

“Oh? Who said that to you?” Li Manya frowned slightly.

“Don’t worry about it! Aunty! Answer me!”

Li Rong was like a kitten. She held Li Manya’s hand and shook it vigorously.

This made Li Manya’s curves even more turbulent, instantly causing the scene to become sexy.

“As long as our Li Clan is still around, our little darling will definitely be able to live for 100 years!”

Li Manya did not directly answer Li Rong’s repeated questions.

Honestly speaking, given Li Rong’s little white rabbit character, she definitely would not be able to live for long if she did not have a powerful clan backing her.

All of this was due to the Li Clan spoiling Li Rong too much.

This was because the entire generation of the Li Clan in Heavenly Star City was male, and only Li Rong was a girl.

Therefore, she was usually afraid of falling.

Li Rong’s three older brothers were even more protective of each other.

That Young Master of the Wang Clan looked at Li Rong in the wrong way.

In turn, he had once been beaten up by Li Rong’s three older brothers. Under such circumstances, Li Rong’s harmless character had already been formed.

By the time everyone realized that something was wrong, it was already too late.

“As expected…”

Li Rong almost held back the tears in her eyes upon hearing her aunt’s reply.

Although she knew that Li Rong would have to suffer more setbacks before she could truly grow up, when Li Manya saw her Rong like this, she really could not help it.

She immediately called for someone to see what had just happened.

“Don’t! Aunt!”

Seeing her aunt’s aggressive demeanor, Li Rong instantly panicked. Given her aunt’s protective personality, something bad would probably happen.

…

What Zhou Feng didn’t know was that a Divine Ability expert was prepared to cause trouble for him right now.

At that moment, he had looked through almost all of the stones outside.

[Waste Stone:…]

‘All of them are actually waste stones! As expected, nine out of ten wagers lose!’

The stones outside were basically all waste stones. There was nothing inside.

The gambling den had actually dared to price the waste stones for a few hundred Spirit Stones, and there were quite a few people who bought them.

This was simply ridiculous!

‘There’s one more. If it doesn’t work, I can only enter the inner hall to take a look.’

Zhou Feng looked at the last stone.

[Multi-Layered Stone: The outer layer is that of an ordinary stone, but there was a small Hive Stone inside.]

‘Many layers? There is actually something like that?

‘Hive Stone? What is that?’

Originally, Zhou Feng did not hold much hope, but he did not expect the last stone to have something.

According to the information given by the Appraising Eye, this stone actually contained a Hive Stone.

However, Zhou Feng did not know what this Hive Stone was.

The Appraising Eye could not penetrate the Multi-Layered Stone’s outer layer to check the Hive Stone’s description.

‘Only 300 Spirit Stones! Just enough!’

Zhou Feng took a look at the price. Such a stone actually cost 300 Spirit Stones.

Even Zhou Feng, who had no concept of the value of Spirit Stones, felt that the price was ridiculously high.

If it wasn’t for the Appraising Eye, it would be like throwing Spirit Stones into the sea!

‘Looks like it’s time to consider buying a cauldron to refine pills!’

Zhou Feng also felt that he didn’t have enough Spirit Stones. It was imperative to buy a cauldron to refine pills and earn Spirit Stones.

There was also a Purple Mansion cultivation technique that he needed to pay attention to.

He remembered that there were some auction houses in Heavenly Star City. When the time came, he would go take a look.

After taking a mental note, he picked up the washbasin-sized stone and prepared to walk into the inner hall to pay the bill.

“Yo! After choosing for so long, you chose this lousy stone?”

Wang Shu, who was still choosing stones in the inner hall, saw Zhou Feng actually walk in with a stone in his arms. He instantly began to mock and ridicule him.

Compared to his previous appearance, the current Wang Shu was even more arrogant. His chin was almost raised to the sky.

This was because no one was allowed to make a move in the inner hall. A Purple Mansion expert was overseeing this place.

No matter what reason you had, as long as you made a move here, that Purple Mansion expert would be alerted.

After entering the inner hall, the first thing Zhou Feng felt was a wave of pressure.

‘Is someone monitoring me?’

Zhou Feng’s powerful senses warmed him that an expert was staring at him.

He raised his head and saw that a mature, beautiful woman was staring at him, and next to her was Li Rong, who he had reprimanded earlier.

“Aiya! He’s looking over!”

When Li Rong saw Zhou Feng looking at her, she moved back like a frightened rabbit.

On the contrary, Li Manya was much calmer. She looked straight at Zhou Feng without the slightest bit of embarrassment.

“Oh? A Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivator? His cultivation is barely passable, but why is his aura so messy? How does he cultivate?

“And I can’t see through this brat? Interesting!”

Because this involved Li Rong, Li Manya carefully sized up Zhou Feng.

Compared to the younger generation in Heavenly Star City, a Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivator wasn’t considered top tier, but they were still above average.

It was just that without the guidance of a Master, Zhou Feng’s aura was extremely messy, giving people the feeling that he was cultivating recklessly. It was as if he had suffered many injuries, and his body’s condition was bizarre.

Also, with her Purple Mansion cultivation, she was actually unable to see through this fellow completely.

This person had probably just entered Heavenly Star City, but she didn’t know what he was up to.

‘Purple Mansion realm?’ Zhou Feng pursed his lips slightly.

To think that there would be a Purple Mansion expert in any random place. It seemed like Heavenly Star City really did have a deep background.

After looking at Li Manya for a while, Zhou Feng retracted his gaze and walked toward the counter to pay.

As for Wang Shu, he had been chattering beside Zhou Feng’s ear the entire time. As for what he was saying, Zhou Feng didn’t hear it clearly either.

After receiving the Spirit Stones, the gambling den’s staff member asked Zhou Feng, “Do you want to cut the stone here?”

The gambling den provided a free stone-cutting service here, and Zhou Feng was too lazy to do it himself, so he let the old master here cut the stone.

“This stone… isn’t that good!”

“There shouldn’t be anything inside!”

“Not necessarily! As long as it’s not cut, anything is possible!”

The stone-cutting process attracted a lot of people to watch, and they started to comment.

“If you can cut something out of this stone, I’ll swallow feces and commit suicide on the spot!”

Originally, the crowd’s enthusiasm was just so-so. After all, the quality of this stone was just subpar.

But who could imagine that Wang Shu would suddenly utter such a sentence?

The atmosphere immediately became lively!
