The man glanced at Ye Luo and couldn’t help but smile, "Young man, are you looking to buy antiques? The swords here are treasured heirlooms passed down in our family, truly ancient antiques hundreds of years old."

The man gave Ye Luo a flattering smile and chattered on and on.

Ye Luo’s eyes swept over these curious and odd items, and just then, Situ Luoyun walked over.

"You’re not thinking of buying something again, are you? All this stuff is fake; there won’t be anything good here. If you really want to buy, you should go to those high-end antique stores instead." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Without a word, Ye Luo picked up a green fragment carved with various mysterious and bizarre patterns from the stall and asked, "How much for this?"

"This..."

Looking at the fragment in Ye Luo’s hand, the man blinked in surprise, not understanding why Ye Luo would want such a seemingly useless piece.

"Come on, how much?"

Ye Luo spoke indifferently.

"This... three hundred."

After pondering, the man raised three fingers.

"Three hundred for a piece like this? You really are a swindler," Situ Luoyun snorted coldly.

"Then let’s make it two hundred. If that’s still too much, take it for one hundred."

The man hurriedly said.

"Here, three hundred."

Ye Luo directly took out three hundred and handed it to the man, then put the fragment away on his person.

"Now I’m even more puzzled about what you’re up to, first it was that worthless furnace, then that scrap stone, and now this fragment of who knows what."

Even with Situ Luoyun’s extraordinary intelligence, she couldn’t fathom what was going through Ye Luo’s mind.

"The fact proved that the scrap stone revealed an Emperor Green."

"Could it be that you’re suggesting this furnace and the fragment are also out of the ordinary and have high value?"

Situ Luoyun looked surprised and turned to Ye Luo.

Ye Luo just gave a mysterious smile and did not explain.

The two walked side by side out of the antique street when, at that moment, four men dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses approached Ye Luo. The leader was the same man who had previously offered twenty million intending to buy the Emperor Green from Ye Luo’s hands.

"Is there a problem? I’ve already made it very clear. I will not sell the Emperor Green," Ye Luo said with a nonchalant look at the man.

With a slight smile at the corner of his mouth and pushing up his glasses, the man said, "Sir, keeping this Emperor Green in your hands only conceals its brilliance. I’m willing to offer thirty million to buy this piece of Emperor Green from you, and we could also be friends afterward."

"No need, you could offer a hundred million and I still wouldn’t sell, and I don’t wish to be friends with you," Ye Luo said coolly.

The man’s expression darkened immediately, his eyes narrowing under his rimmed glasses, revealing a chilly gleam, "I really didn’t want to do this, but it’s better for a young man to understand the situation. It wouldn’t be good to sully the mood should hands have to be laid."

As the man spoke, the four burly and imposing bodyguards started closing in on Ye Luo, emitting an aura of fierce aggression.

"Honey, you have to protect me—they’re looking to make a move on me."

Ye Luo’s body flashed, and he directly hid behind Situ Luoyun, with an aggrieved expression on his face as he spoke.

Situ Luoyun’s expression stiffened, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

"Beauty, so this guy is your husband, huh? A beautiful flower stuck in cow dung. Why don’t you come with me instead? I am the chairman of the Cai Jewelry Company, worth more than a billion."

The man’s gaze stayed on Situ Luoyun, his eyes suddenly revealing a lecherous look as he swallowed hard, feeling his blood boiling.

This woman was just too tempting, she could make any man struggle to control himself. It seemed he didn’t recognize Situ Luoyun or know about her nickname ’Zhu Yeqing’—otherwise, he would never dare to say such things.

"Is that so? The requirements to be my man are quite high."

Situ Luoyun smiled seductively, as if even ice and snow would melt; the man only felt an intense surge in his adrenaline, his eyes shining with naked greed.

"What requirements?"

The man spoke somewhat idiotically, clearly unable to resist Situ Luoyun’s allure.

"My requirement is for you to become a eunuch."

After Situ Luoyun finished speaking, a woman in black clothes burst out from behind her, launching a flying and life-snatching kick aimed straight for the man’s groin.

Aooo—

A heart-wrenching, miserably piercing howl emanated from the man’s mouth as he instantly wilted, clutching his groin and squatting on the ground, his face turning red, twisted with pain, and droplets of fresh blood seeped through his trousers, falling to the ground.

Seeing this, Ye Luo suddenly felt a chill in his legs and instinctively squeezed them together.

As expected of ’Zhu Yeqing’, truly ruthless!

In that instant, the man had effectively become a eunuch, with no more need to touch a woman ever again.

"Boss, how are you?"

The woman in black had moved too quickly for the man’s four bodyguards to react in time.

"Get him, cripple this man for me, and capture this woman! I want her to suffer a fate worse than death."

The man bellowed with ferocious anger, his face twisted in intense pain.

All four men’s gazes sharpened, their faces showing a touch of fury as they stared at Situ Luoyun.

As bodyguards, they had let their boss be turned into a eunuch—this was an outrageous humiliation for them. The four of them let out a loud cry and charged forward.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, as idealistic as these four men were, reality was brutal. Before they could reach her, the woman in black surged forward like lightning, swiftly landing four kicks.

All four were sent flying, crashing to the ground with heavy thuds, spitting blood, and completely losing their ability to fight, their eyes wide with terror.

Seeing this, Ye Luo shook his head, not at all surprised by the outcome. The two women in black by Situ Luoyun’s side both possessed Late Acquired Realm strength, which made them first-class experts in this city, while those four men hadn’t even stepped into the Acquired Realm and were naturally far too weak.

"Sigh, this is the consequence of greed."

Ye Luo shook his head and swaggered away.

"Beauty, take good care of that Jade Pendant, I’ll come to find you tomorrow."

A featherlight sentence reached Situ Luoyun’s ears, and Ye Luo’s figure was already sitting in the BMW, disappearing from view.

Situ Luoyun pressed her lips together slightly, her phoenix eyes sparkling with brilliance as she left without a backward glance at the man screaming in pain, while the man’s eyes flickered with a wrathful and savage hatred.
