Ling Qingyu shook her head at Yang Qingyue's worried inquiry. "Nothing. I feel like I spend the money in vain."
Everyone rolled their eyes at her remarks. Only now did Ling Qingyu regret? Where was the proud peerless businesswoman exuding her queen-like aura during the auction?
One blink one billion. Who else except her possessed such a hand? And Ling Qingyu confided her misery.
Frankly, they stayed with Ling Qingyu for a long time and understood her character thoroughly. Without certainties and an additional backup plan, she never wasted an opportunity or her energy.
It was highly unlikely the reason to be upset was enormous spending. Even outsiders like Yang Qingyue who didn't know much about her, chuckled.
The waitress followed out of the doors and Ling Qingyu was puzzled. "Did I leave anything?"
"No, Miss. I'm here to guide you to the room where you'll meet with Goddess Fan Xi." The waitress said with a polite smile.
"Oh, you call her goddess and me, only miss. That's very impolite behavior there, my darling." Ling Qingyu teased.
The waitress stuttered and defended herself. She was afraid Ling Qingyu was someone with weird kinks, unable to withstand the slightest accidental offense. She would have nowhere to cry and complain, when these big shots were angry at her.
Yang Qingyue clicked her tongue, got close to Ling Qingyu, and twisted her waist muscle. Ling Qingyu cringed and pursed her lips in pain. "You like to joke, huh, seeing others cry? How about continuing to try in front of me?" Yang Qingyue whispered into her ears.
Although Ling Qingyu felt good from the itchiness of Yang Qingyue's lips touching her ears, she didn't dare to indulge and nodded hurriedly. "Well, girl, why are you so frightened? I'm really kidding around. Just being happy." Ling Qingyu had a paralysis in her brain.
Why did this young waitress immediately cry when she teased? Was she really scary? Ling Qingyu rubbed her chin in deep thought, a little suspicious at her attractive trait.
Yang Qingyue released her grip and nudged gently at the area she twisted. "Is it painful?" She asked.
Ling Qingyu nodded with her watery eyes and puppy face. "Very painful. As long as you rub, it'll disappear."
The internal energy she could utilize gave her extreme strength and agility. At least, her world consisted of a bit of spiritual aura facilitating her practice. But after being teleported to Ling Qingyu's world, her physique and her internal strength were nullified, only comparable to the top soldier king but still within human specifications.
The limit brought by the world annoyed Tang Ziyi and she was searching for a breakthrough. Now, Ling Qingyu mentioned the possible strengthening of another aspect, in which she had a keen interest.
Although her previous usage of spiritual aura to store them as internal energy wouldn't work anymore to strengthen the muscle and internal organs, it was impossible there wasn't another possibility.
She had read from online novels, using gene technology and input from external machines to gain strength comparable to her heyday. Perhaps, the technology wasn't still mature, the idea merely remained part of science fiction.
They were still inspirations for her to seek another path. In addition, with Athena's strategic-level scientist's help, she didn't believe her endeavor would meet a dead end and what Ling Qingyu gave might also contain other secrets she could learn too.
Of course, the confidence in success was mostly attributed to the mysterious existence which Ling Qingyu spoke about. Otherwise, how would Ling Qingyu know the secrets contained in the tablet that she didn't see herself?
While the two exchanged the conversation in secret, their whispers still managed to reach Xiao Yue. The two knew but didn't care because the secret was the safest among the three.
After hearing about the possibility of gaining additional strength, people like Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue became eager to know. They satisfied themselves and sought pleasure by strengthening themselves.
Knowing their body and fighting ability to become stronger also raised their self-confidence and demeanor. Who would refuse such an opportunity, not even Xiao Yue.
Thus, Xiao Yue was instantly delighted but controlled her expression. Even though her physical condition was incomparable with Tang Ziyi because of training from childhood without any qi or aura, she wasn't willing to stay behind.
Now, a new method had become possible. If Tang Ziyi succeeded, she could upgrade her body and abolish the weakness she had as a woman.
The rest of the girls exchanged puzzled glances, baffled at Ling Qingyu's sudden secretive behavior. Yang Qingyue was a bit upset, though she understood everyone had something to hide.
Ling Qingyu gave an apologetic smile at Yang Qingyue, who kept watch on her with folded arms, and let the waitress lead the way.
Let's meet with Fan Xi first before going back, she thought.
She should study why Fan Xi was qualified to enter the harem lists closely. Really, not because she sought an alluring woman. She just wanted to compare her beauty.
