Chapter 79: Spendthrift Woman, Divorce!

~9 min read 1,635 words

Shen Guan's composure had already collapsed, and ignoring the people around him, he retorted directly:

"So what if I scold you? You ungrateful thing! Not as good as Bai Zhi? Of course you're not as good as Bai Zhi, damn it! Does she have something you must have too? Are you worthy?"

Zhou Lin trembled with rage and said, "You, you... what did you say? You actually said I'm not as good as her right in front of another woman!"

Shen Guan sneered:

"Is there a problem? In terms of looks, you aren't her equal. In terms of talent and strength, you don't even have the qualifications to compare with her!"

"In terms of character and personality, you are also far behind! Yang Yu wants to buy gifts for Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi keeps trying to refuse, wanting him to spend less money. Look at you, vain and greedy, wishing I would sell the Shen Family just to spend it on you!"

"And you still want the shop's treasure? Are you worthy? If I have that kind of money, can't I enjoy it myself? Why would I buy it to give to you? Damn it, how unlucky I am to have married a spendthrift woman like you!"

These words, every one a pearl of wisdom, scolded Zhou Lin until she was utterly humiliated.

"You, you, you!!!"

Zhou Lin's face was ashen; she had no idea what to say and just kept pointing at Shen Guan.

"You what? Get lost!"

Shen Guan swung his hand and slapped Zhou Lin's hand away.

Zhou Lin cried even harder and said, "Shen Guan, you actually treat me like this; you're not a man!"

Shen Guan sneered, "Let's divorce. With a spendthrift woman like you, the Shen Family will be ruined by you sooner or later."

"Di-divorce? What did you say?!" Zhou Lin let out a shrill scream.

Shen Guan looked at her with disgust and said, "If you don't want to divorce, then I'll cast you aside. Choose for yourself, hmph."

Having said that, he left in a fit of anger.

Zhou Lin stood stunned for a long while before she chased after him, wailing and crying, "Shen Guan, no, don't leave me, I was wrong, I won't be like this in the future, don't divorce me..."

The voice gradually faded.

Yang Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't expect to see such a good show just by coming to the mall."

Bai Zhi: "Mall?"

"Hmm... you can understand it as Baibao Pavilion," Yang Yu said.

Bai Zhi sighed and said, "Zhou Lin and I used to have a pretty good relationship; I didn't expect her to be this kind of person."

"This Shen Guan is quite a smart man, knowing how to cut his losses in time. Running into a woman like this, kicking her to the curb is the most correct thing to do," Yang Yu said. "Alright, we've bought everything we needed, let's head back too."

Then, the two of them cupped their hands to Lu Xiuyuan to bid farewell: "Pavilion Master, we won't stay any longer."

Lu Xiuyuan said, "It's noon, won't you stay for a simple meal?"

Yang Yu said, "Next time. We bought quite a few things today, so we'll go back and study them."

"Very well," Lu Xiuyuan said. "It's only three days until your wedding; I will be there then."

"Then we shall await your arrival."

Yang Yu smiled, and then he and Bai Zhi left.

…………

Even after stepping outside, Bai Zhi still felt a bit unreal.

Not counting the five million the Pavilion Master deducted at the end, Yang Yu spent forty million taels today!

Forty million—even if all the Bai Family's businesses were sold off, they couldn't scrape together that much money.

Yet Yang Yu brought it out easily, and his expression was indifferent, not taking it to heart at all...

"What's wrong, treasure?"

Yang Yu looked at Bai Zhi and said.

Bai Zhi whispered, "Yang Yu, you wouldn't happen to be from the Great Xia imperial family, would you?"

"Hmm? Why would you ask that?" Yang Yu was puzzled.

Bai Zhi: "Even the son of the richest man in the Southern Region couldn't pull out this much money. In all of Great Xia, only the imperial family has this kind of strength."

Yang Yu laughed in spite of himself and said, "I have nothing to do with the imperial family. This is a bit complicated to explain, but in short, due to some fortuitous encounters, I saved up a little bit of money."

"Hmm..." Bai Zhi didn't ask further, but urged, "But don't buy like this in the future. With so many treasures, I'm almost unable to use them all."

Yang Yu nodded: "Hmm, I don't need anything for now."

In terms of defense, Bai Zhi had the Heart of the Black Tortoise, which was basically like having invincibility turned on.

In terms of Martial Technique, the just-purchased Chaotic Origin Half-Moon Flash was Heaven-tier.

In terms of weaponry, the Red Lotus was also top-tier.

It was enough.

"By the way, that Red Lotus sword, let me take another look," Yang Yu continued.

Whoosh!

Bai Zhi quickly took out the sword.

Yang Yu held the sword in his hand and began to examine it carefully.

The reason he chose this sword was that its quality was indeed high enough to be well worth the price.

Moreover, the sword had an exquisite shape and its entire body radiated a color like maple leaves, making it more suitable for a woman to use and better matching Bai Zhi's temperament.

Another reason was that a trait had been rolled onto this sword, named "Silent yet Armor-Piercing."

Yang Yu had originally wanted to buy this sword, and with the trait, it was even more worth taking action.

Since he could Extract it back home, there was no need to suffer social embarrassment in the shop...

At this moment, Yang Yu's palm had already touched the trait.

【Starting to Extract the trait, countdown 10 minutes... 2 seconds, 1 second, Extraction complete! Obtained trait—Silent yet Armor-Piercing.】

Although the traits rolled onto items were not necessarily related to the items and were completely random.

But having rolled such an abstract trait, Yang Yu still felt a bit between laughter and tears.

It's like Garen buying a Last Whisper.

And the effect of the entry is very simple and brutal:

Apply this entry to a target, making them unable to circulate Qi for a short time, and their defensive capabilities will drop significantly.

This kind of combat-oriented entry is something you can never have enough of, and it will certainly be useful in many places.

"Yang Yu, if you like this sword, you should use it yourself," Bai Zhi said proactively, seeing Yang Yu fiddling with the Red Lotus for so long.

Yang Yu smiled and said, "I have the Taixu Divine Sword and don't need the Red Lotus. By the way, your father also gave me a Desolate God Sword Technique last time, Earth Grade Peak Rank; why don't you take it and practice it too?"

Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "My father treasured that sword technique for a long time; it is too masculine and ruthless, not suitable for me to practice. You should keep it for yourself."

"Alright then," Yang Yu replied.

Originally, he actually wanted to be a bit lazy.

However, since Bai Zhi said this sword technique was "ruthless," his interest increased quite a bit.

Of course, before that, he should first use the Breaking Mysterious Pill.

After returning to the manor.

Yang Yu immediately began to use the Dantian Pill.

The moment the Dantian Pill entered his stomach, it turned into a massive surge of medicinal power, filling every single one of his Meridians.

Under the promotion of the medicinal power, his cultivation art circulated at a speed exceeding the norm, and the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Qi swarmed in, pouring into Yang Yu's body.

A large amount of Mysterious Qi continuously impacted and tempered his Meridians.

The Qi vortex at his dantian became more solidified...

This was precisely the feeling of his cultivation base advancing.

Due to the rapid increase in cultivation base in a short time, Yang Yu's body still felt a significant burden.

But he practiced the Taixu Divine Art and possessed a Sacred Body, so his endurance and recovery abilities were far superior to ordinary people.

He could easily withstand this kind of burden.

Not only that, but thanks to these advantages, he could maximize the benefits of the Breaking Mysterious Pill.

The effect of this pill is to allow a martial artist in the Hua Xuan Realm to break through one to five levels.

Everyone's situation is different, and the extent of the breakthrough varies as well.

For some people with poor foundations and talent, breaking through one level is enough to shed a layer of skin.

And Yang Yu, unknowingly, had already broken through two levels...

Time passed quickly.

The Qi vortex spun crazily, and the Mysterious Qi continued to pour in.

One level, two levels, three levels, four levels...

Finally, after his cultivation base had broken through four consecutive levels, fine beads of sweat began to appear on Yang Yu's forehead, and a look of slight pain appeared on his face.

He was already feeling the pressure.

Bai Zhi had been acting as a Protector for Yang Yu the whole time, and seeing this, she couldn't help but feel a bit worried:

Taking pills to raise one's realm is already very forced; it is equivalent to overdrawing the future.

The more one improves, the greater the damage to the foundation; in fact, it is not necessarily a good thing.

Yet Yang Yu still showed no signs of stopping...
