Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Truly a Good NieceNo way, no way? Did she hear that right? What did Shi Yaoguang just say? The little ball was something she got from a secret realm of some great power? Secret realm! Is that even a thing in the modern world? Of course, it’s not! Since secret realms don’t exist in modern society, how did Shi Yaoguang come to have it? Thinking of this, An Xiaoya’s eyes gleamed with eagerness. This is what peak figures are like! Living peak figures! President An and Shen Antai were also shocked. Shen Antai was fine, he was now a cultivator himself. Although in comparison to Shi Yaoguang, he was less talented, but at least he had stepped into the threshold of cultivation. Therefore, hearing his master mention a secret realm didn’t seem too hard to accept. In fact, he was even thinking, it’s just a secret realm, right? What’s there to make such a fuss about it? Didn’t his master have even this bit of prestige? Luckily, Shen Antai did not boast about his thoughts out loud, otherwise, he would probably have been beaten to death. Now, he looked at Shi Yaoguang, his eyes sparkling with stars. "Master, the old man is my idol, the one I admire, I just knew you weren’t an ordinary person..." Shi Yaoguang cut him off directly, "Enough with that, there’s no need to say such words, they’re too insincere." Hearing this, he instantly became indignant. "How can this be insincere?" He argued for himself, "I genuinely feel that, master, you are amazing; who else can claim to be an expert besides you?" Shi Yaoguang: "..." She held her forehead, helplessly, "We’re discussing serious matters here." Shen Antai immediately sat up straight, "Whatever master says is right, whatever you say goes." As he spoke, his hands eagerly moved toward An Xiaoya. An Xiaoya was somewhat puzzled, "Uncle Shen, what are you doing?" Shen Antai: "I also want to experience the joy of destroying a Magical Treasure." "Xiaoya, would you give Uncle Shen a chance?" Seeing her excited expression, An Xiaoya chuckled, "Let me tell you, there are many joys in life, but the opportunity to truly experience joy is rare." "So?" An Xiaoya looked at him, not understanding his point, "You want me to ’seize the day’?" "No." He shook his head seriously, "I just want you to give me the opportunity to ’seize the day’." An Xiaoya: "..." She gripped the ball in her hand tightly, refusing. "Sorry Uncle Shen, I can experience this kind of joy by myself." As she spoke, she flashed a radiant smile, "I won’t trouble you with this effort." Shen Antai: "It’s no trouble, no trouble..." No matter how he pleaded, An Xiaoya wouldn’t agree to share, and he had to give up with tears in his eyes. Immediately after, his gaze turned longingly to Shi Yaoguang. "Master~" he said, even cupping his hands in respect, "I also want to experience this kind of joy!" Shi Yaoguang glanced at the trembling ball in An Xiaoya’s hand and said to Shen Antai: "This isn’t any sort of joy, you don’t need to experience it." Shen Antai: "..." Little ball: "..." Sigh~ Life is hard, the ball sighed. She was a proper Magical Treasure after all, how did she fall to such a state? It shouldn’t have happened, definitely shouldn’t have. No matter how much the poor little sphere lamented the hardships of life, its tragic fate remained unchanged. Shen Antai couldn’t feel anything beyond speechless joy, and had no other solution. He saw Shi Yaoguang’s eyes roll, as if hit by a thought, and said, "Master, I have a somewhat premature suggestion." "What suggestion?" "I think... the Mobei Desert... is not such an easy place to visit." Yaoguang raised an eyebrow, "So?" "You still need a little apprentice to carry your bags." Pointing at himself, Shen Antai said, "And I, am just such a person." Shi Yaoguang: "..." "Do you think the Mobei Desert is a shopping mall?" The chairman An could not help but mock, "The Mobei Desert is dangerous, aren’t you afraid for your little life?" Sёarᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Shen Antai glanced at him with an expression of smugness, "Do you think everyone is like you?" "If you go to the Mobei Desert, you’re just going to offer up your head, but I am different." "If I go, it’s like going to chop vegetables." Shen Antai’s unfounded confidence made chairman An’s teeth ache. "Being capable isn’t your trait, what are you being so arrogant about?" "I may not be capable, but my master is! That’s capital for you, that’s the confidence. With such great conditions, if I can hold back from being arrogant, would I still be human?" Watching his exaggerated antics, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t help but put a hand to her forehead, "Enough, I won’t take you there." Immediately, Shen Antai’s face fell into a look of sorrow, piteously pitiful and particularly eye-stinging. "I think..." An Xiaoya hesitantly began, "Taking one more person along might not be such a bad idea." Shen Antai’s eyes lit up, and he praised, "That’s my good niece!" Chairman An twitched at the corner of his mouth upon hearing this: "You really have no shame." Shen Antai remained carefree, "Shame? Why do I need shame? If it helps achieve my goals, what’s so important about a bit of face?" "Heh." Chairman An couldn’t even begin to express his disdain. Shen Antai didn’t care if people would laugh at him, he was perfectly composed. As long as his goal was achieved, everything else was negotiable. Looking at Shen Antai like this, chairman An was holding back a breath, unable to think of a better argument, when he heard An Xiaoya, after what seemed like half a century, reveal her own agenda, "Master Shi, if you don’t mind, could you take me with you?" Shen Antai’s smugness froze on his face. He turned to look at An Xiaoya, seemingly disbelieving his own ears. What did he hear? Was An Xiaoya saying, take her along? What about him? Meeting the bewildered gaze of Shen Antai, An Xiaoya said apologetically, "Sorry, Uncle Shen, I was fighting for myself." After speaking, she cautiously reminded him, "The Mobei really is very dangerous, I think it’s better you don’t risk going." Shen Antai couldn’t accept this, "If you know it’s dangerous, why do you still want to go?" An Xiaoya seriously replied, "I feel there’s something calling me there, I want to see for myself." Shen Antai curled his lip, "Don’t try to fool this old man, you’re just a little girl, how old are you anyway? Your grandfather hasn’t felt attracted, yet you have been?" Clearly, Shen Antai thought that An Xiaoya was lying to him, just trying to follow Shi Yaoguang. Although indeed, that was a big part of the reason. But... An Xiaoya wasn’t lying about feeling attracted. Ever since having that "dream," a strange feeling lingered in her heart. This feeling was indescribable and mysterious, but it faintly warned her that there was great danger. Thus, An Xiaoya had to seize the opportunity to go to the Mobei Desert with Shi Yaoguang. Hearing An Xiaoya say this, Shi Yaoguang didn’t refuse either. She had already guessed that An Xiaoya, too, was a main character of this world. However, this main character was different from Shi Yiqing.
