Give You One Chance to Rephrase Yourself!

Yan Ruyu quickly pulled Hua Qiang behind her, took out the business card from his pocket and stuffed it into her own pocket. Then she looked at the cat-eared girl with a look of disgust and wariness on her face.

"Miss, my young master has entrusted me with managing his daily affairs. If you have anything to say, you can talk to me. Don't try to take advantage of my young master."

"And let me tell you, my young master isn't interested in your type!"

Hohoho!

Hahaha!

The onlookers burst into laughter. The cat-eared girl looked at Yan Ruyu with embarrassment and anger, gritting her teeth, but she couldn't lash out on the spot.

With so many people watching, I don't want to lose my composure in front of Hua Qiang.

"Benefactor, hurry, go over there and have the stone cut!"

This humble monk is eager to know whether what's inside is truly a sacred object of our Buddhist Sect.

"Yes, bro, hurry up and cut the stone so we can see for ourselves and feast our eyes."

"There's actually a treasure inside this broken rock! We were all really mistaken. It seems that many things cannot be judged by their appearance!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I also want to know what's inside! Judging from that light, it's something extraordinary!"

"Hehe, don't overthink it. Maybe it's just some kind of jade, or perhaps just ordinary purple jade!"

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions.

Hua Qiang handed the raw stone to Yan Ruyu, since the young woman had just said that he would entrust her with all his affairs.

If I were to directly cut the stone myself, wouldn't that be slapping her in the face?

Yan Ruyu took the stone with a beaming smile, then glanced triumphantly at the cat-eared girl, puffed out her chest, and let out a haughty snort.

Afterwards, he arrogantly walked to the side, in front of an old man from the Mechanical Race.

"Grandpa, could you please help me untie this stone?"

"Good!"

The old man from the Mechanical Race emitted a broken gong-like mechanical sound, took the raw stone, and wedged it into the groove. The gear-covered neck made a "click" sound as it turned. The murky electronic eyes quickly scanned the surface of the raw stone, and a metal-patterned finger tapped it three times. Instantly, six sets of hydraulic clamping arms popped out from the edge of the groove.

With a humming sound, the clamping arms, like giant steel pincers, firmly locked the raw stone, and the laser blade in the center of the stone-cutting machine suddenly lit up with a ghostly blue light.

"Sizzle—"

A sharp cutting sound pierced the air as the laser blade slowly moved along the surface of the raw stone, and stone chips fell like fine silver sand.

Yan Ruyu crossed her arms, while the cat-eared girl stood on tiptoe, staring intently at the cut surface, her tail unconsciously straightening.

Suddenly, a dazzling purple light seeped out from the crack in the rock, spreading a hazy glow along the cutting path of the laser blade, causing the onlookers to gasp in surprise.

The old man from the Mechanical Race made a soft, gear-like clicking sound in his throat. The twelve knobs on the control panel turned in time, and auxiliary mechanical arms extended from both sides of the stone-cutting machine. The miniature drill bit at the front precisely positioned the purple light source head.

Fine cracks spread along the drill bit's path, and when the laser blade completed its final cut, the entire rough stone split in two with a "bang"—a dazzling purple light shot into the sky, carrying fine stone fragments that condensed into a golden vortex in the air.

As the dust settled, a Golden Cicada the size of a fist lay quietly in the groove of the base. Its entire body gleamed with a warm, jade-like light, and its thin wings were covered with fine, star-like patterns. Most striking were the ten ring-shaped patterns protruding from its back, each engraved with ancient and obscure runes, faintly visible in the purple light.

The Mechanical Race elder's robotic arm trembled unusually, and his electronic eyes flashed red. "Ten... Ten-Life Reincarnation Golden Cicada! A legendary treasure containing the power of Reincarnation..."

Yan Ruyu's charming smile froze on her face. She reached out with trembling hands to cup it, but was repelled by the powerful energy emanating from Golden Cicada's body.

A chorus of gasps and whispers erupted from the crowd. The cat-eared girl's pupils contracted into vertical slits, and her tail bristled into a fluffy ball of fur.

This broken stone actually yielded a rare and extraordinary treasure, one that is only seen once in millions of years.

Hua Qiang reached out and grabbed the Golden Cicada. Although the Golden Cicada resisted with its body restrained, it could not break free from his grasp.

The next moment, Hua Qiang put the Golden Cicada into his little Small World.

This thing is too eye-catching, and it has already aroused the envy of some people. If it is not put away soon, it may be snatched away on the spot.

"Young man, are you selling that treasure? I can offer 100,000 Universe Coins!"

"Damn! Only 100,000? You're so greedy! I'll offer 120,000!"

"150,000!"

"200,000!"

"300,000!"

Immediately, the crowd began bidding, as if Hua Qiang had become an auctioneer with a hammer, auctioning off the golden toad, with the highest bidder winning.

But they never considered whether the other party was actually willing to sell.

Finally, after a heated contest, a burly Tiger Clan the Tiger Clan, dressed in a tiger-skin armor, won the bid with a high price of 10 million.

"Hahaha, this Golden Cicada is mine!"

"Kid, this gold card of mine has 10 million Universe Coins in it. Now the gold card is yours, and your Golden Cicada is mine. Hand it over!"

The young novice Heluomuni's face turned completely black. That was his sacred object from the Buddha Kingdom, the Golden Cicada Great Sage, who Reincarnation ten times. How could it be sealed inside a raw stone?

What exactly happened?

Now, the Great Sage of the Buddha Kingdom is being treated like a commodity and auctioned off here. This is simply an insult to their Buddha Kingdom.

Unfortunately, he was a hermit and penniless; otherwise, he would have sold everything he owned to buy the Golden Cicada Great Sage and bring it back to the Buddha Kingdom.

Hua Qiang was speechless at the antics of these people. Had he ever said he wanted to sell this thing?

These people actually ignored him and started bidding on the cicada, and then demanded that he hand over the Golden Cicada.

"Um... everyone, I see you're having a lot of fun with this, so I didn't want to interrupt. But there's something you might have overlooked: I don't think I ever said I was going to sell this!"

Rotman froze on the spot, holding the card in his hand, feeling as if he were standing on Mount Tai.

He looked at Hua Qiang, his eyes narrowed, and then a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"Kid, I'll give you one chance to organize your thoughts!"

A mere Human Race dares to provoke the Great Venerable of the Tiger Clan.

He was Star Sea Realm expert, while the Human Race in front of him was just a minor Starry Sky Realm. He wouldn't even bother to glance at him normally.

This little bastard dares to embarrass him now, he's got a death wish!

Hua Qiang's face was very unpleasant; this was a blatant threat.

"I... won't... sell!"

"Good! Very good! Kid, I hope you can bear the consequences of those words!"

Rotman turned and led a few Tiger Clan out of the gambling stone market.

The onlookers shook their heads, looking at Hua Qiang with pity, and then dispersed.

This young Human Race has offended that Tiger Clan member; in their eyes, he's already a dead man!
