My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1304: Chapter 1303: Divine Cauldron Acquired

Moreover, how could these precious elixirs be refined in such quantities at once? You know, each set of ingredients for the elixirs is incredibly valuable, and wanting to refine twenty at once is such a heaven-defying act.

"Okay, give it to me. I promised someone and I must fulfill it." Lei Laowu was not at all reluctant, after all, exchanging an alchemy furnace for a life was still worth it.

Money and wealth are just possessions of the body; neither born with it nor taken when you die.

The subordinate handed the alchemy furnace to Lei Laowu, who held it in his hands and said to Lao Feng on the side, "Uncle Lao, I’m sorry, but this thing has to be given away."

"Well, you decide."

Lao Feng, although distressed, knew this was a promise made in front of everyone by Lei Laowu. If he went back on his word, then the Lei Family would truly have no credibility.

Lei Laowu nodded, turned around, and walked towards the house. He pushed open the door and came out a few minutes later, empty-handed. Clearly, the alchemy furnace had been given away.

"Alright, the task is complete. Let’s return to the Antique Upper Manor. It’s getting late now," Lei Laowu said, looking at the setting sun nearing dusk.

Yet everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of this master and was reluctant to leave.

The old doctor had no choice but to persuade, "The senior does not wish to receive visitors recently. Maybe in a couple of days, everyone could come and visit?"

"Alright then, let’s head back."

Tan Xianglan said to Huang Zhong beside her.

Huang Zhong nodded. Although he was curious about this master, since the old doctor had said so, they couldn’t force the issue.

After Huang Zhong and Tan Xianglan left, Lao Feng also shook his head. He was set to leave the next day, and he wasn’t likely to get the alchemy furnace back.

He had thought about sneaking in at night to steal it back, but considering the mystery surrounding the people inside, barging in might be a disaster if the senior were a master.

If he was killed with a single palm while stealing inside, no one would sympathize, especially since they were stealing a priceless Divine Cauldron.

Seeing Lao Feng had already taken his group back, Ren Kun of the Assassin Group and Feng Shi of the Scorpio Gang didn’t linger long and returned to the manor with their people.

Except for a few manors here, there were hardly any inns or hotels, as this was a mountainous region full of mountain roads.

Leaving this stretch of mountain road would require at least two hours of driving. With no villages or towns nearby, who would venture out alone?

Thus, the only destination was the Antique Manor, where there was a special vehicle that would transport everyone to Guiyang City, where they could access cars, planes, and go wherever they wished.

These people had all come for the auction, but now that it was over, regardless of whether they acquired what they wanted, there was no reason to stay.

Hence, they each returned to their rooms to pack, preparing to leave the next morning for home.

In Chen Tianlong’s room, after Tan Xianglan returned, she pondered today’s strange events. Chen Tianlong had promised to retrieve the Divine Cauldron for her, but it had been given to a mysterious person. Why hadn’t he even gone, nor said a word? What was going on?

Moreover, why did he use hidden weapons before confronting Lei Laowu? What was Chen Tianlong’s intention?

With several questions in her mind, Tan Xianglan knocked on Chen Tianlong’s door. Chen Tianlong had long anticipated this lady’s visit, but to surprise her, he deliberately hid the alchemy furnace.

"Come in!"

As soon as Chen Tianlong’s voice fell, Tan Xianglan hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in rather impatiently. Yet she saw Chen Tianlong bare-chested, preparing to change clothes.

"Gah? You stinky Chen Tianlong, changing clothes without telling me! And you even told me to come in!"

Tan Xianglan pouted and grumbled.

"Oh? Didn’t someone want to be my wife? Now you’re blushing just seeing me bare-chested. What if I were bottomless; wouldn’t you faint from embarrassment?" Chen Tianlong teased.

"Hmph, you naughty devil... Alright, let’s not talk about that. Quickly, put on your clothes. I need to ask you something." Tan Xianglan had come with questions, but seeing Chen Tianlong like this made her almost forget her purpose.

"Well, go ahead, say what you have to say. I’m listening," Chen Tianlong said, fastening his buttons.

He had just returned from the Medical Manor wearing old folks’ clothes. He felt he reeked of an old person’s scent, so he rushed to the shower and quickly changed his clothes before hearing Tan Xianglan’s knock.

Tan Xianglan took a deep breath to calm herself. Her feelings towards Chen Tianlong were both love and hatred. Honestly, this mixture was quite pleasurable, and she found herself becoming infatuated with him.

"Um... where did you go earlier? Why didn’t you check? Also, where’s the alchemy furnace you promised me? It’s been taken, hmph!"

Saying this, Tan Xianglan became somewhat upset. Chen Tianlong, it seemed, never kept his word. He had boldly sworn to a girl he’d help retrieve it, and there he was, just staying inside.

Did he really think it would be delivered to him?

This was something Lei Laowu bought for a hundred billion, you know.

"Did I ever say I wouldn’t give you the Divine Cauldron?"

Chen Tianlong was momentarily stunned, pretending to be puzzled.

Tan Xianglan furrowed her brows, looking at Chen Tianlong who seemed sincere and not joking. She immediately thought and laughed, "Hehe, I knew it. Chen Tianlong is the best; you surely have a way to get the alchemy furnace, right?"

"Oh." Chen Tianlong was not very pleased at this moment, evidently because Tan Xianglan’s mind was entirely focused on the alchemy furnace. It seemed as if there was nothing else between them except the matter of the alchemy furnace.

"What’s wrong?"

Tan Xianglan noticed the change in Chen Tianlong’s expression and felt something was amiss. Reflecting on her actions, she suddenly realized and quickly said, "Ah, this alchemy furnace is too important to me. I want to use it to uplift my family, or else I’d really have to marry someone I don’t love and be used as a tool."

"Alright."

Chen Tianlong also sighed. Every family has its difficulties. He could only try his best to help this little beauty.

He stood up, walked to the bedside, fumbled under the blanket for a while, and took out something wrapped in a white bag, then tossed it to Tan Xianglan.

Tan Xianglan quickly caught it, her heart pounding. Chen Tianlong was so casual, tossing the Divine Cauldron around. What if it got damaged?

Though the Divine Cauldron wasn’t worth a hundred billion, it was still worth several billion. Did he really see money as dirt?

"Chen Tianlong, what’s wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Tan Xianglan felt not just gratitude towards Chen Tianlong, but an indescribable feeling as well.

If possible, she’d wish to forever stay in Guiyang, without having to face the pressure of refining elixirs for her family, avoiding the arranged marriage.
