"Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are destined to the fated. What happens next depends on you alone. I’m tired and can’t be bothered," the Star Plate revealed a few more words, not disappointing her.
"Hey, wait, could you be clearer? What do you an by ’depends on alone’?" Mu Hanyan was completely baffled and quickly pressed for an answer. She didn’t believe she could snatch the Dragon Blood Stone from these deadly stars on her own.
Unfortunately, as soon as the words appeared, they vanished completely, and the glow disappeared, leaving it no different from a cheap street vendor’s charm.
Mu Hanyan rubbed her temples with vexation. Knowing the Star Illusion Thousand Machine as she did, if it said it wouldn’t intervene, then it definitely wouldn’t. Everything truly depended on her now, but what should she do next?
Just as Mu Hanyan was lost in confusion, Qu Shanhai spoke up, "I don’t care which family’s offspring you are or what background you have; I only care about strength. If you have it, then go ahead and vie for the treasure. If not, then leave early to avoid becoming collateral damage."
His words were filled with threat but still, gave Mu Hanyan a choice.
Huayue and the others looked at Mu Hanyan once again. If it had been before the fight with Zong Dingfang and He Songhua, they would have advised Mu Hanyan to leave without hesitation. But now, why didn’t they do so? They had witnessed too many incredible things from Mu Hanyan firsthand; who knew what astonishing act this once considered playboy and waste would display next?
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. My strength is not on par with the esteed seniors here, nor do I dare to covet the treasure. However, as the saying goes, ’Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are destined to the fated,’ I can’t help feeling reluctant to give up so easily.
In my view, obtaining this Dragon Blood Stone won’t be easy either. It seems we must first break through the light cocoon surrounding it.
Why don’t we do this—let the seniors make their move first. Whichever of you can obtain the Dragon Blood Stone, I will sincerely congratulate. But if none succeed, then permit to give it a try," Mu Hanyan proposed after contemplating. She hadn’t grasped the true intention of the Star Illusion Thousand Machine yet, but she knew one thing for certain—she couldn’t leave yet; staying was her only chance for opportunity.
Thinking more about it, she realized she was becoming increasingly reliant on the Star Illusion Thousand Machine, which was not a good sign. Perhaps, relying on herself, even if she failed, wouldn’t be so bad; at least it wouldn’t affect her determination in cultivation.
With this in mind, the worries and concerns in Mu Hanyan’s heart dissipated, and she felt a sense of relief wash over her.
Qu Shanhai had no interest in playing such childish gas with Mu Hanyan and was about to decline when he heard a disdainful voice from beside him, "Humph, a bunch of wet-behind-the-ears kids also dare to daydream. If we can’t break open this light cocoon, what makes you think you can?"
The speaker was Chen Pingfeng from the Cang River Chen Family. Among the crowd, his strength ca closest to Qu Shanhai’s, and they were close friends. So once Chen Pingfeng spoke, Qu Shanhai found it hard to object.
"If that’s the case, what’s wrong with giving it a try?" Mu Hanyan quickly seized on his words.
"Let’s try then. If we really can’t do it, what’s the harm in letting you try a thousand tis or even ten thousand tis?" Chen Pingfeng said impatiently.
"Do you two have any objections?" Seeing Chen Pingfeng take charge, Qu Shanhai didn’t bother to waste more words with Mu Hanyan and asked the two people who had arrived earlier.
