Christine's words plunged Bexia into a state of unease. He tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep until daybreak, when he finally fell asleep and was awakened in the afternoon by Carter's calling.
"What's wrong with you? You look like you didn't sleep well," Carter looked at a tired-faced Bexia and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night!" Bexia shook his head. After Christine said that last night, Bexia had been thinking for a long time, but in the end, he still didn't know how to face certain things.
"That's it!" Bexia sighed.
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing..."
"By the way, is what Long Momo said last night true or false?" Zeya suddenly asked Bexia, breaking his silence.
"What's true or false?!" Bexia wanted to play dumb.
"It's about your fiancé, right?" Carter hooked his shoulder, smirked, and said, "Bexia, I'd say our relationship is pretty good, right?"
"It's alright," Bexia didn't understand why Carter suddenly brought this up.
"If you marry Long Momo, you'll become an important figure in the Kingdom of Anzu. Then, my brother, I'll rely on you to make a living. How about finding me a high-paying and easy job by then?"
"Get lost!" Bexia pushed Carter away without mercy and felt speechless about this guy.
"My relationship with Sis Dragon is not real, it's just acting."
"Is it true or false?" Carter looked at Bexia in shock. Based on what he knew, there was no way Bexia and Long Momo had nothing going on. He had seen them acting very intimately before, and that was not how ordinary boyfriends and girlfriends behaved.
"I really have nothing with Sis Dragon. Those were all made up to get rid of other suitors," Bexia explained.
"Why can't I have such a good thing happen to me?" Carter grabbed his head, with an expression as if he wanted to replace Bexia.
"Alright, stop thinking about these useless things. Instead, think about how to practice sword skills better!" Zeya on the side looked at the two companions and shook her head.
"Please take a seat, guests!" When they arrived at the dining place, as guests brought by Long Momo, their treatment was naturally good. Although there were only three of them, the amount of food prepared was astonishing, with dozens of different dishes, and none of them were repeated.
"Young Master Bexia, this is something Goddess wanted me to give to you!" Bishop Lien handed a ring to Bexia. Judging from the feel, it was a ring with space storage function, and its level seemed not low, at least a mid-level storage item, with a space of at least a dozen cubic meters inside.
"What is this?!" Bexia asked curiously.
"This is a gift from Rhode to Young Master Bexia, but I don't know what it is specifically."
"What about Sis Dragon? Why didn't I see her?" Since it was handed over by Long Momo, why didn't she come herself?
"Goddess has important matters to attend to. She asked me to take you for a tour in Mandela these days, and then we will take a boat to Anzu later!" Lien answered.
"I see?!" Bexia pondered for a moment. As the priestess of the Dragon God Church, dealing with a massive organization like that wouldn't be easy. She must have a lot of things to handle, so Bexia didn't pay too much attention to it.
"Then I'll trouble Bishop Lien!"
"I dare not! It's just my duty, if the guests want to go for a stroll in Mandela later, just inform the servants here, the carriage is already prepared!"
"Bexia, good things should be shared!" As Lien left, Carter looked at the spatial ring in Bexia's hand with envy. Zeya didn't show much expression, but she also cast a curious gaze. It seemed that she also wanted to know what kind of gift Rhode had given.Bexia used her psychic power to explore the space ring. Inside, there wasn't much except for a few items: a gold card, a box, and an invitation letter.
Bexia took everything out, and Carter immediately grabbed the gold card. After taking a quick glance, he exclaimed in surprise, "This is the VIP gold card! It's equivalent to one million gold coins!"
"What's wrong?" Bexia asked.
"What's wrong? This gold card is worth one million gold coins! Don't you understand its importance?" Carter looked at Bexia speechlessly. Didn't he realize the significance of having one million gold coins? If he had that kind of money, he would just go home and live a comfortable life.
"Regardless of that, we still need to make a profit!" Carter held onto the gold card, looking at Bexia expectantly. It was as if he was suggesting that if the profit wasn't shared, he wouldn't return the card.
"Dream on, the profit sharing is not gonna happen. We'll consider this money as our travel funds. When we go to Mandela later, you can use it to buy whatever you want!" Bexia didn't feel like these funds were of much use to him, but he wasn't going to give any portion to Carter. He didn't consider it a good idea.
"Let Bexia keep this thing for now!" Zeya gave Carter a meaningful look, which frustrated him. He said dejectedly, "Zeya, why do you always help Bexia and not me? Whose side are you on?"
"Do I have to ask for your permission to pick a side?" Zeya's words silenced Carter, leaving him speechless.
"Let's see what's in the box." Reluctantly handing the gold card to Bexia, Carter looked at the exquisite wooden box with curiosity. This thing was not ordinary at all. There were magical runes engraved on the box, and it probably contained something extraordinary. After all, it was placed together with one million gold coins.
Bexia opened the box, revealing small radish-like objects inside. However, these "radishes" were blood-red and emitted a fragrant scent.
"What is this?!" Both Bexia and Carter were stunned, but Zeya, frowning, thought for a moment and said, "This should be a special ginseng from the Anzu Kingdom, and it's the extremely rare 'Blood Jade Ginseng'!"
"Blood Jade Ginseng?!" Bexia didn't know what this was.
"The ginseng from Anzu Kingdom is a great tonic that nourishes the body and is highly favored by the nobles. This 'Blood Jade Ginseng' is even more precious and extraordinary. It's a rare find, said to be several hundred times more effective than regular ginseng, and is even rumored to have anti-aging effects!" Zeya explained.
"Furthermore, this thing can also be used as a secret medicine, and there are no side effects. I've heard that it has some special effects for men..." Zeya's face turned slightly red as she mentioned the last sentence, and both Bexia and Carter understood what she meant.
