update icon Updated at 2025/3/6 2:10:12

Dusk fell, and after waiting for more than two hours in the carriage, Bexia finally saw Carter and the others leisurely returning. This made him complain for a while, after all, he was also afraid of coming back late. But he didn't expect Carter and the others to be even more excessive.

"Why did you all come back so late?" Bexia looked at them speechlessly.

"We just took a stroll, don't take it so seriously!"

"I've been waiting for you for more than two hours!" Bexia complained.

"We're really sorry, Isabelle said there's a very unique shop, so we came back late!"

"We thought you would come back later, who knew you would come back so soon."

Alright! Bexia looked at the cooperation between Carter and Zeya, he couldn't argue with the two of them alone. Isabelle couldn't help but smile when she saw this.

"By the way, what gift did you buy for Senior Long Momo?" Carter changed the subject.

"I bought a jewelry pendant." Bexia took out the "Seven Colored Dream" from the spatial ring and said.

"This is a seven-colored crystal!" Carter recognized it and asked in surprise, "Isn't this thing expensive? I once saw a seven-colored crystal ring, and it was priced at several thousand gold coins!"

"Just 90,000 gold coins." Bexia quoted a price.

"What?! Say that again?!" Carter thought he misheard. A pendant actually cost 90,000 gold coins. Damn, he has never had so much money in his entire life.

"The price is actually 88,888 gold coins, almost 90,000 gold coins. I bought it from Fenghua Xuexue. It has a calming effect." Bexia explained.

"Damn! The world of rich people is something we poor people can't understand!" Carter gave Bexia a meaningful glance. To be honest, he also knew about this kind of magical item, but he thought it was the least useful. It's better to buy a good weapon.

After a tiring day of playing, the three of them returned to the mansion of the Dragon God Sect and went to their respective rooms. Bexia hesitated whether to go find Senior Long Momo and give her the gift, but he thought it was already late. Maybe she was already resting, so it's better not to disturb her. He could go tomorrow without rushing.

However, before Bexia could take the initiative to find Long Momo the next day, she had already come to find him. Early in the morning, there was an extra figure at the dining table.

"Sis Dragon, why are you here?" Bexia looked at Long Momo still dressed in a shrine maiden attire. To be honest, it was more comfortable to see her like this. Although Long Momo was stunningly dressed that night, Bexia didn't think it suited her.

"This is my place. Can't I come here?" Long Momo smiled lightly.

"I didn't mean that. I meant, Sis Dragon, are you done with your business?"

"Let others worry about those matters. Whether I do it or not, it's all the same!" Long Momo's careless words made Bexia feel embarrassed. How could such an irresponsible person be the High Priestess of the Dragon God Sect? She didn't seem like one at all.

"Senior Long Momo, Bexia bought you a gift yesterday."

"Oh! A gift..." Long Momo squinted her eyes slightly after hearing Carter's words. It should have been a good thing, but for some reason, Bexia felt as if he was being targeted by something huge, giving him a chilling sensation.

"Sis Dragon, you've been very kind to me before, so I chose a small gift to express my gratitude!" Bexia took out the "Seven Colored Dream" from the spatial ring and handed it to Long Momo, asking, "I just don't know if Sis Dragon likes it or not!"

"Of course I like it! I like everything Bexia gives me." Long Momo happily received the Seven Colored Dream. For her, as someone of her status, this thing was nothing. But what she valued more was the underlying meaning or rather, who gave it to her."Sis Dragon likes it, so it's good." Bexia smiled and looked at Long Momo's delight, which made him feel happy as well. After all, Long Momo had helped him a lot, and he couldn't just ignore that. He wasn't an ungrateful person.

"Is it beautiful?" Long Momo immediately put on the pendant and showed off her charm to Bexia. To be honest, it was quite embarrassing because half of it was buried in the cleavage of Long Momo, which inevitably prompted people's imaginations.

"It's beautiful!" Bexia nodded. There was no doubt that Long Momo had a perfect figure and appearance. It was likely that even if she wore plain clothes, she could still look stunning.

"Then I'll reward you by taking you out tonight!" Long Momo said.

"What's up, Sis Dragon?" Bexia asked.

"It's just attending an event, let's just go for a stroll!" Long Momo replied.

"Well..." Bexia was initially about to agree, but then he remembered that he had to go with Carter and the others to the auction in the evening. He couldn't help but glance at them.

"You should accompany Senior Long Momo. Just leave the things to us!" Carter immediately said. He wouldn't miss the chance to be alone with Zeya, and he also wanted to assist Bexia.

"Sis Dragon, I'll go with you tonight then!" Bexia said to Long Momo.

"Then please pretend to be my boyfriend, Betty. I don't want to deal with those annoying guys all the time."

"No problem!" Since they had already discussed this before, Bexia readily agreed. However, he didn't notice that the corners of Long Momo's mouth involuntarily curled up.

In Long Momo's opinion, when something is pretended for too long, it can easily turn into reality. Besides, who knows if it's true or false? Some things are inherently ambiguous, and it's impossible to clearly define them.

"So, what do you guys plan to do today? Wanna go shopping at Mandela?" Long Momo asked the three of them.

"I'm not going. I didn't sleep well last night, so I don't feel like going anywhere today. I'll just stay here and rest!" Bexia shook his head. It wasn't that he was truly tired, but he didn't think there was anything fun in going to Mandela. Besides, he had promised to chat with someone else today.

"I'll go back first!" The person Bexia was going to chat with was Lady Cloud, not someone else.

"Is Bexia really foolish? Or is he pretending?" Carter looked at Bexia's departing figure and whispered to Zeya.

"The onlookers see more than those involved!" Zeya uttered a maxim.

"Bexia just hasn't realized it yet, he hasn't thought about that aspect at all!"

"Do you think there's a possibility between Bexia and Princess?"

"Princess isn't even here, and I don't think her relationship with Bexia is a romantic one. But it's different for Senior Long Momo..."

"Sigh~! Forget it, it's not something I should worry about. Let him do whatever he wants!" Carter slumped onto the table, looking like a fish that didn't want to turn over.
