Chapter 318: A High-Stakes Gamble (3)_1
Shennong Cauldron! One of the ten great divine artifacts from ancient times, personally crafted by the Creator God, the Venerable of the Alchemy World! With the cauldron in hand, all alchemists must show unconditional reverence!
Even more importantly, the other nine divine artifacts vanished along with the Shennong Cauldron. If the Shennong Cauldron resurfaced, others would certainly come to inquire about the whereabouts of the remaining artifacts, bringing not only the covetous gazes of alchemists but also the danger from others!
Hao Pengyou also realized how dangerous his reaction had just been. If the Shennong Cauldron truly were in her possession, and if others found out, she would be in trouble. Yet the shock in his heart still lingered, as he looked at Dugu Qianye in disbelief, clicking his tongue in wonder, "Junior Brother, you truly are..."
Truly are what? He lacked the words to describe it. It seemed that ever since he followed her, there had been a continuous stream of excitement and peril, reawakening his heart, which had been still for so many years, making it no longer a dead pool of water. The thought that she had confided such important matters to him filled his heart with an indissoluble warmth.
"Alright, let’s head back," Dugu Qianye glanced at Zi Xiao and turned to lead the way forward.
Zi Xiao showed no surprise upon hearing about the Shennong Cauldron, and Dugu Qianye was not surprised by his reaction. He knew the Shennong Cauldron was with her, and she always felt that her secrets were transparent before him, yet she felt no unease.
After returning to the hotel, Hao Pengyou was still in shock and had not snapped out of it. Noticing his dazed look, Dugu Qianye kicked him into his room and ordered him not to leave until he had digested the situation. She would check the results herself tomorrow. Then she slammed the door shut.
"How is he?" Zi Xiao asked.
