Chapter 386: Chapter 213: Brocade Chamber of Commerce Offers High Prices to Buy Back Replica-Dropped Antiques

He replied hastily, "I’m still at my first kiss, not ready yet. And your change is quite big, I’m not used to it."

Before this moment, between him and He Yun, he had always taken the initiative, with He Yun being the one flirted with. How did things suddenly turn around?

He Yun revealed a triumphant expression, saying:

"Do you remember the divination result you gave me? Upright Judgment, Four of Wands reversed, and Six of Cups reversed."

Wu Chang nodded, he had just done it casually back then, didn’t expect He Yun to remember so clearly.

He Yun said, "Upright Judgment makes me face the past courageously and create a new future; with your help, I have already done that."

"Reversed Six of Wands, and reversed Four of Wands, told me to find a partner who gives me a sense of security and will walk with me into a new life. Obviously, I’ve found it."

Wu Chang: ...

How come he remembered that the interpretation back then was different?

He Yun leaned closer to Wu Chang and continued:

"You know, in a world of extreme scarcity of resources, whether it’s people or things, good ones are very rare. Hesitate for a moment, and they might be snatched away by others."

"I don’t know what rhythm, but I know, you’re mine now."

Wu Chang, theoretically a giant, but in practice a dwarf, never lost when playing with words, was now discouraged.

"No, wait, uh..."

Even though He Yun really wanted to claim Wu Chang right away, now was obviously not the time.

This time was just a brief taste, stopping quickly.

After calming down a bit, He Yun looked at the Desire Stele and asked:

"What do you think our world will become?"

Wu Chang countered, "Your future, the initiative is in your hands."

After he destroyed the projection of the Desire Mother Goddess, all the power in the Desire Stele came under He Yun’s control.

As long as she wanted, without Mercury’s influence, she could completely continue the upgrade plan, successfully upgrading the 88th Underground Shelter stuck in the middle layer to the Realm of Reason.

He Yun understood Wu Chang’s meaning, thought for a while, then said:

"I’ve decided to maintain the status quo."

Wu Chang curiously asked, "Why?"

He Yun slowly said, "During the time I was deceived by Mercury to sign the contract, although I lost my memory and lived muddleheadedly, in the process of researching the energy of the Desire Stele, I always felt an inexplicable unease."

"The widespread use of that higher-level power doesn’t necessarily bring what I want, nor is it something the Underground Shelter can bear. If the current situation can be maintained, it’s undoubtedly the best outcome for the Underground Shelter."

Wu Chang nodded in acknowledgment, secretly breathing a sigh of relief in his heart.

If He Yun wanted to continue completing the upgrade plan, he wouldn’t stop her; however, if possible, he also hoped the Underground Shelter would maintain its current state.

The remaining Pillars of the Present World were few, and he really needed one of his own.

He Yun paused, seemingly sensing Wu Chang’s thoughts, looked at Wu Chang, and said with a smile, "And you also want me to maintain this status, don’t you?"

Wu Chang scratched his head, not denying it, and asked, "How do you know?"

He Yun, pleased with Wu Chang’s reaction, slowly said:

"That guy named Gu Feng said the Underground Shelter is in a special status, making it very important. And that Mercury lurked in the Underground Shelter, scheming against us, precisely to turn the Underground Shelter into this form."

"Gu Feng said you came following the trend as a treasure hunter. This Underground Shelter they coveted is, in itself, the most precious treasure."

Wu Chang was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, there’s an even more precious treasure here."

"This Desire Stele?" He Yun asked.

Wu Chang shook his head, then looked at He Yun and said, "It’s you."

He Yun was momentarily stunned, then smiled and said, "Are you trying to seduce me? I admit, I liked your attempt at seduction just now."

Wu Chang coughed lightly, interrupting He Yun’s eager experimentation.

He was just flirting off the cuff; today’s progress was fast enough; he wasn’t ready to accelerate further.

"I’m just describing the facts. Okay, we should go out now. So much has happened, don’t you want to go out and see the changed Underground Shelter?"

Wu Chang and He Yun walked out of the main hall, not seeing He Yi’s figure, until they reached the entrance of the Stone Divine Hall, where they saw He Yi confronting Gu Feng and others.

The anomalies inside the Stone Temple, especially the entire Underground Shelter’s regression, had long attracted the players’ attention, and Gu Feng and others had already ended their battle with the Paradise Church people.

The members of the Bliss Sect, upon realizing their Mother Goddess was defeated, had already scattered like birds and beasts.

If possible, Gu Feng also wanted to leave, but he couldn’t.

Because with He Yun terminating the contract with Mercury, the authorization for the use and development of the 88th Underground Shelter was also retracted.

Gu Feng noticed that his authority as a guardian disappeared, and not only that, he could feel that all entrances to this Pillar of the Present World had been sealed off, leaving only one exit.

This wasn’t because He Yun couldn’t close this exit, but to leave an opening so that the players who had entered could leave.

Gu Feng couldn’t leave, he had a hunch that once he left here, he would never be able to come back in. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

As the guardian of the Pillar of the Present World, he must find a way to leave this Pillar of the Present World for the Management Bureau.

Gu Feng was a qualified warrior, but not an excellent negotiation expert; facing He Yun and Wu Chang, he appeared especially uneasy, having difficulty speaking.
