Chapter 429: Chapter 428: Return to Jiali City

```Farewell to the patriarch of the Ice Maiden Clan, Tang San couldn't wait to rush on his journey.

As flying was forbidden within the Ancestral Court, and sprinting at full speed would attract attention, Tang San simply rented a carriage and asked the driver to take him away from the Ancestral Court as quickly as possible.

Sitting in the carriage, he calmed his mind. His heart was somewhat fervent at this moment. Not because of the gains from the auction, but because he was getting closer and closer to his Pretty Girl.

Taking a deep breath to steady his emotions, Tang San temporarily diverted his attention, fearing that his longing for the Pretty Girl would impair his judgment.

He silently summed up the auction in his mind. Unquestionably, as bidder number 336, he had attracted too much attention. But fortunately, he left quietly, departing the next day after the exotic auction closed.

For an event like the Ancestral Court Grand Auction, the third day with the divine tool auction was of the utmost importance, and even Emperors would attend.

If it wasn't for the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's prior promise that the Emperors would no longer participate, Tang San was almost certain that the outcomes for the Fox Tail Relic and the Ice Sealed Throne would have been quite different.

The Fox Tail Relic was of extreme importance to the Fox Tribe, and although it came from the Red Fox Tribe, if the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox had been present, they would definitely not have allowed it to fall into the hands of outsiders. This was also one of the reasons why Tang San was eager to leave. As for the Ice Sealed Throne, since the Ice Maiden Clan had put it up for auction, it would not be easy for an Emperor to reclaim it. The treasure that once belonged to the Heavenly Spirit Emperor would inevitably attract other Emperors as well.

Though it appeared Tang San didn't acquire the Ice Sealed Throne, the five thousand Elemental Coins he spent were by no means given in vain! To say nothing else, it was nearly impossible for Wu Bingji to ascend to God with her current bloodline intensity, and she would definitely have to face a life-threatening Tribulation during the breakthrough. But what if such a breakthrough happened with the Ice Maiden Clan, which possessed a treasure like the Ice Sealed Throne? The success rate for Wu Bingji's advancement would be unimaginably higher. Helping his senior brother to survive the Tribulation was worth it to Tang San. Moreover, he could also seek to buy blood essence from the Ice Maiden Clan to help Wu Bingji evolve the Ice Spirit Change. With the collaboration of the Ice Maiden Clan, it was as if they had opened a door to the future ascent for Wu Bingji, finding a path to the heavens. As for whether he could obtain the Ice Sealed Throne, Tang San wasn't particularly concerned. Because he had already acquired that Time-space marker!

The Time-space marker was his absolute top acquisition at this auction, far exceeding his expectations for coming to the Ancestral Court. Even now, Tang San's heart was still racing. This item, useless in other's hands and whose purpose they did not know, was a future divine object, or even a super divine weapon. The immense possibilities that such a large Time-space marker could provide were simply too many.

Taking another deep breath, Tang San quietly activated his Spirit Rhinoceros Heavenly Eye, bestowing Luck upon himself. He once again felt his soaring Fortune.

This fortune had been with him since he left Hell's Garden, although Tang San was not clear whether it was due to the experiences within the Hell's Garden or if he had always had this astonishing Fortune, which he only discovered after improving the Heavenly Fox Transformation there.

But regardless, the outcome of the auction made it clear that he was truly infused with good luck, which greatly aided him.

With no surprises or dangers along the way, the carriage smoothly left the vicinity of the Ancestral Court. As soon as they were out of the Ancestral Court's range, Tang San couldn't wait any longer. He paid the fare and unfolded the wings of the Golden Winged Roc from his back, taking to the skies. With wings beating, he accelerated at full power, heading straight for Jiali City.

Protected by the Lion Tiger Golden Gang, his rapid flight was even faster than that of Cheng Zicheng. The strong winds he faced while flying were dissipated by his Lion Tiger Golden Gang, which even absorbed them into his body as his own Power, augmenting himself.

He didn't even have the inclination to look closely at the treasures he won at the auction. By now, his heart had already taken flight.

Jiali City. Jiali Academy.

```

Standing silently in an inconspicuous corner outside the academy's gates, Pretty Girl looked somewhat desolate.

There was no news of Tang San from Redemption Academy. The teachers at the academy did not know where he had gone. As for Tang San's situation, they also could not provide any reason.

The appointed time outside Jiali Academy had also reached its last day, and Asura had not appeared either.

Could it really be because she had been away for so long that they had all forgotten about her? Pretty Girl pouted her red lips, her beautiful eyes showing a bit of grievance. She had been looking for them as soon as she came out, yet not a single one was present. It was really...

The arrival of the Heavenly Crystal Phoenix Great Demon Emperor had made her feel a tremendous amount of pressure invisibly. That guy seemed to have some special relationship with her mother, whom she did not dare to ask about, because after the Heavenly Crystal Phoenix Great Demon Emperor left, she saw her mother cry, cry very sadly, and cry for a long time. It took half the night of consoling before her mother stopped crying, but she seemed somewhat out of sorts afterward.

Pretty Girl knew that the Peacock Demon King had been injured by the Heavenly Crystal Phoenix Great Demon Emperor, and now this guy was coming again. When he returned, who else in Jiali City could withstand such a mighty enemy at the Emperor level?

She ultimately went and quietly told the Peacock Demon King about it. But to her surprise, the Peacock Demon King did not seem puzzled by it, he just said, let him come if he wants to. Then he did not say much else.

If the Heavenly Crystal Phoenix Great Demon Emperor were to come again, could the Peacock Demon Clan still withstand the pressure on their ancestral court? If they could not, then what meaning would her status as a successor have? Naturally, the mission arranged by the organization would also go unaccomplished. More importantly, the Peacock Demon King might...

Even though she did not have deep feelings for this father, and even felt a separation due to racial differences, deep down in her heart, she eventually did not want him to die. After all, blood is thicker than water!

So, at this moment, she felt a lot of pressure inside. She greatly wished that during such times, someone would listen to her, share her thoughts, give her advice, and help her.

The only ones she could think of that she might trust seemed to be those two fellows. Yet one was missing, and the other had not kept the promise, um, the time for the promise had not yet arrived. Perhaps he would come, right?

With that thought in mind, Pretty Girl looked around and quietly released her Spiritual Power in search of that silhouette that might appear at any moment.

But what made her feel a bit aggrieved was that there was still no trace of him.

As time ticked away, Pretty Girl went to eat just once, spending almost all her time waiting here. She had a mysterious trust in Asura, even though she did not know why he kept appearing, why he always helped her unequivocally when she needed it the most, but he had saved her, saved her at the most perilous time. She had always felt he was trustworthy.

Waiting is often a painful thing, that continuous anticipation with no result is indeed not very wonderful.

It had been three days, and she had waited for him for three days. Fearing she might miss him, she stayed right here waiting, but he still did not appear.

As the sunset bathed her in its glow, Pretty Girl moved her somewhat stiff and delicate body. She took a step and gently danced on the spot. Humming a song that only she could hear, with a special rhythm, she danced gracefully.
