BTTH: I married Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate our marriage!

Chapter 221: A Lucky Find, Cai Lin’s Joy!



After entering the spatial black hole, Gu Fei could clearly feel someone probing him. However, he didn't pay much attention to it, as the probing force was not malicious- just a routine check. After all, the staff organizing the auction needed to ensure the safety and order of the venue.

Moments later, the world in front of the three of them transformed into a small town.

"This is Space Town, the venue for the Spatial Trade Fair... Although this place isn't as vast as our Gu Realm, it's more than enough as a trading venue," Gu Fei said with a smile as he held the hands of the two women, observing the bustling streets.

"Mm," Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian nodded in agreement. The ability to create a dedicated space just for trading was no small feat. Although the space wasn't enormous, it wasn't something an ordinary person could create.

"Let's take a look around. The items here should be pretty good," Gu Fei suggested as they strolled down the streets.

On both sides of the street were stalls with green stone platforms, displaying items like scrolls, jade bottles, weapons, and magic cores.

As they walked, Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian's faces were filled with smiles. It wasn't that the items were extraordinarily rare, but rather that they were enjoying themselves. The peaceful act of shopping was a welcome change from the battles they were accustomed to- a lifestyle more in line with what they truly desired.

The street wasn't very long, only a few hundred meters, and when they reached the end, they reluctantly pulled their gazes away. Suddenly, Cai Lin paused, causing Gu Fei to stop as well. Following her line of sight, Gu Fei saw a colorful stone, about the size of half a fist, with seven distinct lines on its surface. A special energy seemed to emanate faintly from it.

"A Nine-Colored Origin Stone? It seems that the old man running this stall hasn't been influenced by my actions. Hopefully, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame map fragment will still appear in the Auction," Gu Fei thought with joy.

"That's great! It's a Seven-Colored Origin Stone, just what Sister Cai Lin needs," Xiao Yi Xian nudged Gu Fei, urging him to buy it.

This so-called Seven-Colored Origin Stone was a special variant of spiritual stone closely related to the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. It was said that such stones could only be found in the places where Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Pythons had perished, and the energy within these stones was highly beneficial to them.

Behind the stone platform, a frail-looking old man sat cross-legged, looking disinterested.

"Sir, what would it take to trade for this Seven-Colored Origin Stone?" Gu Fei asked with a smile.

"Two eighth-grade pills, each with at least three-colored pill lightning," the old man replied slowly, barely glancing up at Gu Fei.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Deal!" Gu Fei agreed without hesitation. Although the stone wasn't worth such a high price, he didn't haggle. This was something Cai Lin liked, and he was willing to pay the price.

After tossing a jade bottle to the old man, Gu Fei grabbed the Seven-Colored Origin Stone and walked away.

The old man was taken aback, checking the pills in the bottle. "Did I misjudge? That was definitely a Seven-Colored Origin Stone... Why did that kid buy it so quickly?" he muttered, puzzled, but no one was there to answer him.

"Here," Gu Fei handed the Seven-Colored Origin Stone to Cai Lin after walking a few steps.

"Sister Cai Lin, our husband is so good to you! This stone isn't worth two eighth-grade pills, but he didn't hesitate for a second." Xiao Yi Xian remarked with a smile, clearly happy for her friend.

"Mm..." Cai Lin's cold face softened into a happy smile as she accepted the stone.

"But he didn't overpay," Cai Lin added. "Most people only know that the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's remains can sometimes produce Seven-Colored Origin Stones. However, if over a hundred Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Pythons perish in the same place, there's a chance for an Eight-Colored or even Nine-Colored Origin Stone to form. But this is nearly impossible, so most people only know about Seven-Colored Origin Stones and not the rarer variants."

"The true pinnacle of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python is not known by that name, but by the name Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. Only those with the purest bloodline have ever reached this level, according to the ancestral memories passed down through the bloodline. Most people, including you, wouldn't know about this."

Gu Fei wasn't surprised by Cai Lin's explanation, but Xiao Yi Xian was clearly taken aback, as she had never heard of such things.

"No wonder... Only you, Sister Cai Lin, would recognize something like this," Xiao Yi Xian remarked, curious. "So, is this stone an Eight-Colored Origin Stone or the highest level, a Nine-Colored one?"

In response, Cai Lin lightly scratched her finger, letting a drop of blood fall onto the stone. As it touched the smooth surface, a faint new line appeared after the seventh.

"It's just an Eight-Colored Origin Stone... What a pity," Xiao Yi Xian said, feeling slightly disappointed. If it had been a Nine-Colored Origin Stone, Cai Lin would have made an incredible find.

"Wait... Maybe there's more to come," Gu Fei said with a smile, urging them to be patient.

Hearing this, both Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian's eyes lit up with anticipation as they watched the stone closely. Cai Lin gently rubbed its surface, and then, after a moment, another faint line began to form after the eighth one.

"Nine-Colored... It's a Nine-Colored Origin Stone!" Cai Lin exclaimed, unable to contain her excitement.

"Good thing you didn't hesitate to buy it, husband!" Cai Lin said, planting a kiss on Gu Fei's cheek.

"You little enchantress!" Gu Fei said with a smile, feeling the warmth of her lips linger on his cheek as he wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Alright, there's nothing more to see in this space town. Let's head to a more advanced trading event next..."
