Unexpected Fortune

"I'm going." Qishan appeared beside Chen Beixun, startled.

"Give me some time," Qishan said, then vanished.

Chen Beixun set An Changyan down from his arms and whispered, "Take whatever catches your eye."

"Consider it a betrothal gift."

After saying this, Chen Beixun stroked him affectionately.

"Mm." An Changyan enjoyed the caress, but asked with some confusion, "What is a betrothal gift?"

Chen Beixun slapped his own forehead and said, "It's nothing."

"How inexplicable," An Changyan remarked, then began picking out items that pleased him from the mountain of treasures.

The place seemed quite safe; aside from the mountains of piled treasure, there were no other dangers.

Chen Beixun stayed by An Changyan's side, his mind occupied with finding a way out, before he said to An Changyan, "I'm going to look for an exit. Be careful."

"Mm." An Changyan nodded, looking charming and lovely.

Chen Beixun swallowed hard, his hand making a restless grab before he flew off.

"Nng~" An Changyan squeezed his legs together, his face flushed as he laughed and cursed, "Damn you!"

Chen Beixun roughly scouted the surrounding area and discovered what appeared to be an exit leading directly to the outside world.

Is it really that safe? Chen Beixun wondered to himself while flying in the air.

He circled the area once more before flying back to An Changyan.

"Stop it." An Changyan's face was flushed red; Chen Beixun was behind him, constantly teasing and provoking him.

"Uh—mind your boundaries. Artificial intelligences have emotions too," Qishan's voice echoed in Chen Beixun's mind.

Only then did Chen Beixun restrain himself.

Qishan appeared before him; he had avoided them while the two were busy earlier.

"Heh, when I first met you, I thought you were quite indifferent to matters of the heart," Qishan teased.

"It's rare for an iron tree to bloom, after all," Chen Beixun laughed.

The two were communicating via consciousness, fearing An Changyan might overhear.

"Alright, let's talk business. I've roughly calculated it; the total value of the treasures here reaches 5.14 million Hunyuan Units."

"That much!" Chen Beixun was stunned.

Although it couldn't compare to that outrageous World Lord from the original story, it was still a staggering sum.

"Can you carry it all?" Qishan asked.

"Heh, don't I have my wife here?" Chen Beixun spoke aloud this time, intentionally being careless.

"What?" An Changyan whipped his body toward Chen Beixun, his eyes downcast with a lingering, intoxicated look.

"Changyan, how large is the storage space in your World Ring?" Chen Beixun asked.

"Fifty million kilometers in length, width, and height," An Changyan replied.

"Ah?" Chen Beixun was stunned. His own World Ring was only 10,000 kilometers in length, width, and height, and with his guards inside, it was a bit inconvenient to store treasures. Furthermore, standard space rings had limited area and couldn't hold that much.

In the Virtual Universe Company treasury, even the cheapest World Ring cost 0.5 Hunyuan Units for a 10,000-kilometer dimension.

"Damn... then I'll leave the treasures here to you." Chen Beixun pinched his nose.

"Mm—" An Changyan swatted Chen Beixun's hand away, looking smug as he said, "Beg me."

"Heh..." Chen Beixun rubbed his hands together and laughed, "Help me out, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" An Changyan crossed his arms over his chest, not even looking at him.

"Then I'll... beg you!" Chen Beixun pressed his palms together in a pleading gesture.

An Changyan chuckled a few times and said, "Leave it to me."

A few minutes later...

"Done." An Changyan stood before him.

"If it's done, then let's go. We should leave this World Lord World early." Chen Beixun's hand began to wander from his shoulder downward.

"Why leave just like this?" An Changyan seemed to have something left unresolved.

Chen Beixun was a bit confused; hearing this, he was momentarily speechless, not understanding what he meant.

"Did you forget?" An Changyan was very anxious.

Only then did Chen Beixun recall.

"Pavadode!" Chen Beixun said.

An Changyan nodded, his eyes filled with sincerity. Pavadode was his most loyal guard.

As for him, he was the true and rightful lover of this Highness, though it could not be made public.

Chen Beixun met his sincere gaze and smiled, "No problem."

When he asked about the intelligence, An Changyan actually knew nothing at all.

"You don't even know the specific location?" Chen Beixun was completely stunned.

An Changyan shook her head, then after a moment, she suddenly said, "Before the incident, Pavadode disabled his location sharing."

"But we can still search by using the coordinates from before he disabled it."

Chen Beixun felt that this idea was far too rash and impulsive. If Pavadode had disabled his location sharing to protect them, then blindly rushing in to seek revenge would clearly be an irrational act.

Since the other party didn't want him to know, why take such a risk? That was what Chen Beixun thought.

An Changyan took his arm and muttered, "Let's go."

Chen Beixun looked at her, his heart filled with bitterness; since he had already agreed, he naturally had to face it. He was simply afraid that An Changyan would encounter danger.

"Sigh~" Chen Beixun let out a sigh. Although he had a thousand words he wanted to use to persuade her, the words died on his lips. He didn't want to disappoint her either.

"What are you sighing for!" An Changyan was somewhat dissatisfied. Despite her words, her eyes were fixed intently on him; if he were to back out, she would agree.

The danger level of this place was obvious, and An Changyan also wanted to leave as soon as possible, but with the great vengeance unavenged, she felt terrible inside.

Chen Beixun remained silent, simply patting her shoulder before flying off.

He flew in front, with An Changyan following behind.

One after the other, they soon arrived before what appeared to be an exit leading to the outside world.

An Changyan couldn't help but look up and say speechlessly, "This is the exit?"

"That's right," Chen Beixun said. "Let's go."

He immediately flew into it, with An Changyan following closely behind.

The word danger is always accompanied by the unknown, and safety seems not to exist; nothing is absolute.

Two figures flew out over a vast land composed of golden metal. The figures were tiny, lingering in the air for a moment before hurriedly departing.

Chen Beixun stepped onto the Gold Cloud Shuttle, flying through the air as he looked down, searching for clues about Pavadode.

There is an old saying: if they are alive, you must see the person; if they are dead, you must see the corpse.

"Fly slower!" An Changyan, left behind by him, shouted anxiously, as if some beloved object had been stripped away from her.

Chen Beixun turned his head back, and his speed slowed down significantly with the movement.

"You're so slow," Chen Beixun said.

Her mental power amplitude was indeed inferior to his; after all, An Changyan had only been cultivating for twenty years, while he had been cultivating for over three hundred. In terms of the precision of control, he left An Changyan streets behind.

An Changyan watched his figure drawing closer and felt a sense of relief.
