The most eye-catching object was a person, a living person, and a woman at that, a woman who wasn't wearing much clothing.

Her attire was clearly designed with care, making her exceptionally alluring.

Her chest was half-exposed, her waist faintly visible, her hips were shapely, and her long legs were exquisite. Looking at her face, she was quite beautiful, though not comparable to Xue Bingning, she could still score an eighty-five.

The most intriguing thing was this woman's identity.

In her hands, she held a sign that read... "Jade Clam Tribe."

The Jade Clam Tribe is a small race from the Four Seas, known for producing beauties. The nobles of the Yanhuang Continent have always liked to take women from the Jade Clam Tribe as private pets to show off.

"The Carefree Pavilion is indeed extraordinary," Luo Lie was genuinely impressed by the Carefree Pavilion for the first time.

As far as he knew, in the Royal Capital of the Northern Waters Kingdom, one couldn't find a single Jade Clam Tribe beauty, and if one were discovered, many nobles would likely flock to her.

Of course, there was also a line of small text on the sign held by the Jade Clam Tribe beauty, which was quite eye-catching.

The small text read: "Only holders of the Carefree Silver Dragon Token or above may purchase."

Luo Lie said, "Sister Bingning..." "Don't even think about it!" Xue Bingning waved her fist, threatening him.

"The beauties around me are far better than her, why would I buy her?" Luo Lie expressed his disdain for the Jade Clam Tribe beauty.

Only then did Xue Bingning contentedly pull him along.

There were many items here, treasures, weapons, rare herbs and exotic flowers, and many strange and unusual things.

Luo Lie had a list in his hand, with clear explanations of the items' functions, so even if Xue Bingning was unsure about something, there was no need to worry.

Each item had a sign indicating its name, as well as the price or the required items for exchange.

If Luo Lie wanted to purchase something, he could compare it with the prices on his list, as his list was based on the prices given by the Carefree Silver Dragon Token, which were overall ten percent lower than the actual prices.

And every item here had a minimum price of over a hundred thousand gold coins.

As they walked through, Xue Bingning bought a few items that were helpful to a Divine Master.

As for Luo Lie, he just followed along, never truly moved by anything, until he saw a small porcelain bottle.

The small porcelain bottle contained the Blood of the Starhorn Battle Elephant at the Shattering Stage, but it was polluted.

The price was three million gold coins! If it weren't polluted, the price could reach over a billion, but being polluted meant its effectiveness was severely compromised.

Luo Lie stared at the words "Blood of the Starhorn Battle Elephant," and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, a small fragment of memory abruptly surfaced.

The appearance of this small fragment of memory didn't surprise Luo Lie much; after all, he had experienced it many times. The mysteriousness brought by the Sacred Ancestor's Legacy always amazed him.

But after reviewing this small fragment of memory, Luo Lie's breathing became rapid, and his gaze towards the Blood of the Starhorn Battle Elephant changed.

"Do you want it?" Xue Bingning asked beside him.

Luo Lie nodded.

Xue Bingning picked up the sign in front of the small porcelain bottle and waved it.

Immediately, an attendant quickly approached to serve, taking the sign, which meant a purchase was intended.

The attendant, seeing the list in Luo Lie's hand, bent his already bowed waist even further.

Only those with the Carefree Silver Dragon Token could hold the complete list of items here, and the list was equivalent to an identity, so there was no need to show the waist token to flaunt.

"I'll take this," Luo Lie said.

Before the attendant could speak, someone else approached, "I want it too, five million."

This person was none other than Lan Cailing, the woman Luo Lie once pursued, who willingly became Chong Zhanyuan's ninth concubine.

She provocatively looked at Luo Lie.

But Luo Lie didn't even glance at her, directly telling the attendant, "Send it to VIP Chamber No. 3."

With that, he led Xue Bingning straight to VIP Chamber No. 3.

He never looked at Lan Cailing, not even a sidelong glance.

The attendant respectfully complied, holding the small porcelain bottle with both hands, and followed them.

Lan Cailing exploded with anger.

Seeing Luo Lie and Xue Bingning there had already stirred a strong sense of jealousy within her. Although this young man was once infatuated with her, pursuing her, she had dismissed him because she believed Luo Lie had no future in martial arts, which was unacceptable for a woman with great ambition. At the time, she was very concerned about Luo Lie becoming the next King Nanli.

Now, the situation had changed dramatically. Luo Lie not only practiced martial arts but also passed the Overlord's Trial, becoming the next Overlord, the first Twin King in the history of the Northern Waters Kingdom, with a status even higher than Chong Houhu. This made Lan Cailing's view of Luo Lie change again, so besides jealousy, she also wanted to suppress Luo Lie to prove her choice was right.

Who knew Luo Lie wouldn't even glance at her from start to finish?

"Stop right there," Lan Cailing shouted at the attendant, "Are you deaf? I offered five million, and he hasn't even bid. This item is mine. How dare you not even ask and just send it to him? Do you believe I won't have you thrown out?"

The attendant, who was all smiles for Luo Lie, immediately straightened up and coldly said to Lan Cailing, "Please mind your manners."

"What did you say?" Lan Cailing was furious, her eyes almost popping out. The difference in attitude towards her and Luo Lie was too much, which only fueled her anger.

The attendant's next words nearly made her faint, "How can your status compare to that of the esteemed young master?"

Lan Cailing roared, "Esteemed? Do you know who I am?"

"Sorry, I don't know you. Our Carefree Pavilion has a rule: anyone entering here must temporarily forgo their kingdom's status. Even someone as noble as the Black Dragon King of the Northern Waters Kingdom is just an ordinary person here," the attendant calmly said. "In my eyes, that esteemed young master is ten times, a hundred times more noble than the Black Dragon King. Moreover, if that esteemed young master wants any item here, no outsider may purchase it; only he may buy it, and at a reduced price. Additionally, I must remind you, miss, to mind your manners. This is the Carefree Pavilion, and anyone who violates our rules will be punished, regardless of who they are. Also, do not provoke that esteemed young master. If he is displeased and complains about the Carefree Pavilion's service, we will not be polite to you."

Lan Cailing could hardly believe her ears.

Even the Black Dragon King, who could satisfy her ambitious expectations, was not as highly regarded as Luo Lie here? Moreover, this lowly attendant spoke of the Black Dragon King with apparent disdain, yet when mentioning Luo Lie, he repeatedly referred to him as esteemed.

And the Carefree Pavilion guards around her, watching coldly, their eyes clearly indicating that any wrong move from her would result in immediate action. Their positioning seemed to be protecting VIP Chamber No. 3, which made her believe the attendant's words.

What made Lan Cailing even more bitter was when the attendant, who had spoken so dismissively of the Black Dragon King, approached VIP Chamber No. 3, he put on a fawning smile, bowed, and gently knocked on the door, a typical servile demeanor.

A voice came from inside the VIP Chamber.

The attendant respectfully opened the door, careful not to make a sound that might disturb the people inside. After receiving the gold coins from Luo Lie, he bowed and exited, gently closing the door, maintaining his fawning expression throughout. When he turned to Lan Cailing, he immediately put on a cold face and said, "The esteemed young master inside says you are affecting his mood. Please leave."

"What? You're kicking me out? On what grounds? What right does he have to kick me out? Is he part of your Carefree Pavilion?" A now calm Lan Cailing shrewdly asked, voicing her suspicion.

"No, that esteemed young master is a distinguished guest of all Carefree Pavilions within the Eight Hundred Minor Kingdoms," the attendant replied. "If you affect such a distinguished guest's mood, our Carefree Pavilion's policy is to expel you. If you don't leave on your own, we will resort to force."

Two formidable guards immediately stepped forward, glaring at Lan Cailing.

Lan Cailing could only leave in disgrace, but not before casting a regretful glance at VIP Chamber No. 3. She regretted her actions.
