Meanwhile, inside the Seven Treasures Teahouse.
Recently, the geniuses of the Profound Alliance and Ancient Alliance have been secretly competing and fighting, and various news has been sent back to the rear. Before they knew it, a month had passed.
On the second floor of the Seven Treasures Teahouse, a female cultivator wearing a veil gently removed it, revealing a face as serene and aloof as a fairy in the moonlight. She looked around and found her target by the window.
The man was unaware of the impending "danger" and continued to boast.
"... It's laughable that those members of the Profound Alliance are still spouting about Lianxin. Ha, they haven't dared to show their faces yet. Only she knows how much of this 'first place' is genuine."
" Di Xi is naturally the rightful first!"
"So what if he's not number one on the Earth Ranking? In my heart, he's number one!"
"Moreover, this is only temporary. It won't be long before Di Xi ascends to the top. It's inevitable."
"I..."
Hearing the man's disparaging words about Lianxin, and seeing the folding fan he was waving so vigorously, Fairy Cold Moon was certain that this was the person she was looking for.
That's right, it's Fairy Cold Moon who has arrived!
The month was up, and she came to collect the money.
She walked up to the man and casually patted him on the shoulder.
The man turned around impatiently, and when he saw Fairy Cold Moon's face, his previously forgotten memories suddenly resurfaced, causing his expression to freeze.
He was no stranger to that beautiful yet icy face.
Fairy Cold Moon didn't care what he thought; she simply spoke calmly.
"The one-month deadline has passed. I won the bet. Hand over ten million Spirit Stone."
That was her sole purpose this time.
The rest... doesn't matter.
The man before them, in terms of his clothing and the folding fan in his hand, clearly resembled Di Xi in both appearance and habits. Obviously, he was an admirer of Di Xi.
Therefore, no matter how much I argue with him about who is truly number one, it will be useless.
Fools only believe what they think is true.
Therefore, this time, Fairy Cold Moon only intends to ask for money.
But looking at the Fairy Cold Moon demanding ten million Spirit Stone from him, the white-robed young man with the folding fan—that is, Tuoba Hong —hesitated...
Just as Fairy Cold Moon thought, he was indeed an admirer of Di Xi. Therefore, within a month, he was the most excited when he heard about Di Xi's achievements. He also kept praising Di Xi to everyone and belittling Lianxin.
It was him who forgot about the ten million bet and only remembered it now.
Tuoba Hong's face was grim, and his lips were tightly pursed.
He certainly had ten million Spirit Stone, but that was all he had. If he gave it to Fairy Cold Moon, what would be the point of his cultivation?
Therefore, upon seeing the solitary woman before him, Tuoba Hong's first thought was to break the contract...
The hesitation and struggle in his eyes did not escape the notice of Fairy Cold Moon, who immediately let out a cold laugh.
"What? A prestigious Ancient Alliance imperial family, you're actually planning to renege on the bet you made?"
There were quite a few people in the Seven Treasures Teahouse, and after being spoken to by Fairy Cold Moon, Tuoba Hong immediately felt embarrassed.
His hesitation stemmed from his inability to bring himself to refuse to pay.
But...
"Hmph!" Tuoba Hong snorted coldly, concealing his true thoughts, "How could this young master go back on his word? It's just that I don't have enough Spirit Stone on me."
"Alright, here's three million for you."
"Take it."
He casually tossed out his Storage Bag, watching as Fairy Cold Moon caught it. His face remained expressionless, but inwardly he was practically vomiting.
He naturally had enough Spirit Stone on him.
After all, he was a member of the Ancient Alliance and didn't own any property in the Profound Domain, so he naturally carried his personal assets with him.
But he just doesn't want to give it!
The situation on the battlefield is becoming increasingly tense, and the woman in front of me carries an almost indelible smell of blood, indicating that she must have just come from the battlefield.
If she were to die on the battlefield, then I would...
"That's all?"
Weighing the Storage Bag in her hand, Fairy Cold Moon gave Tuoba Hong a cold look, completely unmoved by his attempt to stall for time.
She said coldly, "The agreed-upon ten million is ten million, not a single Spirit Stone less!"
"If you can't come up with ten million today, don't even think about leaving!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tuoba Hong's face turned extremely ugly, and the entire Seven Treasures Teahouse fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.
The old man who had been following Tuoba Hong like a background figure suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp, lightning-like gaze shooting out.
He glanced coldly at Fairy Cold Moon and hissed angrily in a low voice.
"Where did this little brat come from? She's got quite the nerve!"
"Today, I'd like to see who can stop us if we insist on leaving!"
Before he could even reveal his presence, he saw Fairy Cold Moon take a step back, and a cold smile crept into his heart.
I thought she had some trump card, which is why she was so arrogant and conceited. I never expected her to be such a pushover; she backed down with just a flick of her wrist.
He was about to leave with Tuoba Hong when he heard the faint voice of the Fairy Cold Moon coming from the side.
"I can't stop them, but someone can!"
The instant she finished speaking, a giant arrow, gleaming with golden feathers and carrying a terrifying aura, descended from the sky, striking the two of them and blocking their path.
A clear, cool female voice then rang out.
"Take one more step, and you're dead!"
