Going against the will of heaven, summoning strange beasts, abandoning her daughter, she is addicted

"Waste! Waste! Waste!"

She got out of bed and smashed the coffee table and pastries on the floor.

His anger subsided somewhat, and his blue pupils returned to their normal brown color.

"Guest, you can't do this! If you keep smashing things like this, I and the manager won't be able to explain it!" The restaurant's servants ran up when they heard the commotion, and when they opened the door, their hearts broke.

This is the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Youyue City. Everything inside is incredibly expensive.

Xu Lian smashed so many things in one go; they must be worth at least tens of thousands of top-grade soul stones.

Although Xu Lian is noble in appearance and luxurious in clothing, what if she refuses to pay compensation? The servant will definitely want to get the compensation first.

Little did he know that his reckless intrusion would cost him his life.

"If you can't explain yourself, then die!" With a flick of her wrist, Xu Lian sent the servant flying into her hand.

Under the terrified gaze of the servant, Xu Lian gently twisted his neck, and it snapped instantly.

She casually tossed the corpse onto the ground and wiped away non-existent bloodstains with a handkerchief. Then she closed her eyes and carefully sensed the last place the elephant-dragon had appeared.

"Someone actually opened a portal to the divine realm?"

With her eyes closed, Xu Lian tilted her head slightly, her brows furrowed: "Two people at the ninth level of the Divine Realm, and the woman among them... her figure looks so familiar..."

Xu Lian couldn't remember for a moment.

She looked at the other man more closely. He had a calm and reserved demeanor. Using her soul tracing technique, she managed to catch a glimpse of him and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Stop tracing back immediately to avoid backfiring.

Xu Lian's chest heaved violently, and her eyes shimmered with emotion.

This man's cultivation level far surpasses that of a god!

However, it seems that the man has already left. She'll go to the Qian family herself then!

Xu Lian walked to the window. Before leaving, she glanced back at the corpse on the ground.

The servant died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

It wasn't until the corpse started to decompose and emit a foul odor that the other servants in the restaurant discovered it. When they pushed open the door, they were nearly scared to death by what they saw inside.

"Dead! Dead!"

"Shopkeeper, a servant in the main room has been murdered! He also had a bag of soul stones on him."

The innkeeper went over upon hearing the commotion. He glanced at the bruises on the servant's neck and then picked up the brocade pouch. The pouch was brimming with top-grade and high-grade soul stones. It was more than enough to compensate for the damage to the room and a life lost, and it could even buy the entire restaurant.

"Manager, should we report this to the family?" the servant asked cautiously.

"Why report such a trivial matter? Go back to your work." The shopkeeper rolled his eyes at him. "If word gets out about what happened today, you'd better think twice about the consequences!"

The servant understood that the manager was only after money and didn't want to pursue the matter further. It was pitiful that this servant had died so tragically; his life was so cheap!

However, he didn't have time to reminisce about others. He himself was just a menial laborer, equally insignificant and not worth mentioning.

Having experienced today's events, the handyman secretly resolved to make a name for himself. Once he had saved enough money, he would go to the academy to cultivate and carve out his own path!

Not for fame or fortune, nor for dominating the continent, but simply for a peaceful corner of my own in this dog-eat-dog world.

Ruan Yu's battle with Xiang Long consumed too much of his energy and trump cards.

For the past two days, she has been working hard to rebuild the World Destruction Compass.

However, the World-Destroying Compass is a naturally formed divine artifact. Forged from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it cannot be created by human intervention.

Each time it reached the crucial final step, just as the World-Destroying Compass was about to be completely rebuilt, "crash!" the World-Destroying Compass shattered again, falling to the ground with a soft rustling sound.

When she retrieved it, the World-Destroying Compass was in the same state, shattered into pieces and beyond repair.

“Master, we too were nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. In essence, we are no different from naturally formed divine artifacts.” The Earth Spirit Orb flew over at this moment.

Its words reminded Ruan Yu, "You guys can?"

"Okay, but we need to gather all five of us." The Water Spirit Orb bumped into the Wood Spirit Orb, and they flew over together.

It floated in front of Ruan Yu's eyes.

"Only the Fire Spirit Orb and the Gold Spirit Orb remain." Ruan Yu carefully collected the fragments of the World-Destroying Compass and handed them over to Xuanwu for safekeeping.

She made up her mind: she would first find all five elemental pearls and reshape the World-Destroying Compass.

As for Aunt Fengyue's remnant soul... she'll have to find it another day. Right now, she doesn't have enough strength to face that "Lord" from the Divine Realm.

Going there would be suicide missions.

"Can you sense the locations of the Fire Spirit Orb and the Gold Spirit Orb?" Ruan Yu asked.

The Water Spirit Orb and the Earth Spirit Orb shook their heads: "Too far away, we can't sense it."

"We can only perceive it if we are on the same continent."

Wood Spirit Orb: "Aba aba."

"...We still need to find a way to replenish the life force of the Wood Spirit Orb." Ruan Yu rubbed her temples.

Sorrow!

"The Wood Spirit Pearl's condition has improved a lot, and we will also help our master," the Water Spirit Pearl could only say to reassure Ruan Yu.

"Mmm." Ruan Yu touched the Water Spirit Orb with her fingers; it felt cool to the touch. "I won't stay on the Beast Taming Continent for long. I will go to various continents, and I will stop once you sense the Gold Spirit Orb or the Fire Spirit Orb."

"Good host!"

After that, Ruan Yu refined some ordinary divine artifacts and elixirs.

She took over the Qian family because she wanted money, lots and lots of money. Although she had a top-grade soul stone vein in her space, that vein was used to replenish the soul power in her space.

As the number of contracted soul beasts increases and the scope of the space expands, the soul power consumed by the space also increases.

She didn't know how long that mine could last.

There are also other treasures that can generate soul power and divine power. But the speed is too slow, and the output is too low, which is simply not enough.

We still need to find a way to earn Soul Stones!

The Qian family is skilled in business, making them perfect candidates for our service.

Under the influence of the soul imprint, they dared not betray her.

Ruan Yu felt very reassured using it.

Furthermore, she can give some of the unused divine artifacts and pills she refines to the Qian family for sale, eliminating middlemen and their markups, which is fantastic.

Three days later.

Ruan Yu came out of the room.

The warm sunlight shone on her, bringing her boundless warmth and vitality.

She summoned the Qian family members, who owned shops, and distributed pills and weapons to them.

Even without Ruan Yu saying it, these unscrupulous merchants knew how to sell it.

Instead of rushing to sell them in the shop, pick a few items at random and take them to the auction house to make a name for yourself.

The divine pills and artifacts refined by Ruan Yu are all top-quality items, one in a million. They are already worth a high price, and when they are auctioned off, the price doubles!
