Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 173 - 117: Young Master of the Bian Clan

Sang Luo had promised to give Lou Xianyue a pair of earrings, but she hadn’t been able to find suitable materials. Seeing that a Gambling Stone Pavilion across the main road was doing good business, she teleported over.

The Gambling Stone Pavilion was built quite magnificently, with upturned eaves at its four corners, and had five floors in total, each catering to guests of different financial means.

When Sang Luo was on the North Continent, she would visit Gambling Stone Workshops in her spare time, picking up quite a few Top Grade Spirit Stones on the cheap. She also knew the ins and outs of the trade, so upon entering, she directly told the servant that she wanted to go to the basement level.

The servant knew at once that she was an expert. His attitude became extremely respectful. After inspecting Sang Luo’s Storage Bag as per the rules, he bowed and led her to the basement level.

The basement level was even more spacious, and the patrons were all dressed in brocade robes and fine silks—clearly either rich or noble. Many Beastmen were bidding against each other for some high-quality Gambling Stones, making for a very lively scene.

Sang Luo swept her gaze over the area. To her, the contents of the Gambling Stones were completely exposed; they were all just common goods. After wandering around for a bit, she picked out an inconspicuous, fist-sized stone from a corner. It felt quite heavy in her hand.

The Servant asked, "Honored guest, are you sure you want this Gambling Stone? Our pavilion has many better quality Gambling Stones that are more likely to yield a Top Grade Spirit Stone. Would you like to pick a different one?"

"No, thank you. This one is fine."

"Are you only buying this one Gambling Stone? Perhaps you’d like to buy a few more? It would increase your chances of finding a Top Grade Spirit Stone."

People who played with Gambling Stones were either rich or noble, spending money like water. He had worked at the Treasure Stone Pavilion for many years, but this was the first time he had seen a customer on the basement level buy only a single Gambling Stone. ’Judging by her storage space, she’s clearly a wealthy person. Could I have misjudged her?’

Sang Luo was about to politely decline when she saw a commotion at the entrance. The owner of the Treasure Stone Pavilion had come to personally greet someone. The worldly-wise servant beside her gasped,

"The Young Master is here again!"

Sang Luo released her spiritual power, sending it through the disorderly crowd.

A young general in red military attire walked through the main entrance. His figure was lithe and tall, with Golden Scale Armor outlining his waist, and he wore Cloud Boots on his feet. He was the very picture of nobility.

He had flamboyant, fiery-red short hair, a handsome and distinguished face, and beautiful peach-blossom eyes with the corners of his lips curved into a smirk. His entire being exuded a wild and unrestrained aura, as untamable as a fiery steed.

Several females gasped when they saw him approach, but not a single one dared to go up and talk to him.

"Young Master Si, your presence truly brings light to my humble establishment!" The owner greeted him with a fawning smile and a sycophantic attitude.

"Cut the pleasantries. Same as usual, I’ll take this entire lot of Gambling Stones."

"Right away, right away! Young Master, please wait in the VIP area. I’ll have some tea sent over for you."

The owner then saw a noble female in magnificent white robes approach and also greeted her with a smile. "Noble Female Zhi Zhen, what brings you to the Treasure Stone Pavilion today?"

Zhi Zhen didn’t even glance at him, walking straight toward the red-haired young man. Coldly and with dissatisfaction, she said, "Si Ye, I knew you’d be here! Haven’t you had enough of hiding from me?!"

"Tsk, how many times do I have to tell you not to follow me? You’re like a persistent rash. It’s disgusting."

"You!" The female’s expression turned ugly. She could only watch as the young man strode away. No male other than him had ever dared to speak to her like that. ’But the more he acts this way, the more I want to tame him!’

"Who is he?" Sang Luo asked the servant.

"Ah, you’re asking about the noble female Zhi Zhen? She’s the youngest daughter of a Clan Leader from the Sky Tiger Clan. Although she isn’t a Pure-blooded Heavenly Tiger, she is a Seventh Rank Beastman. Countless males beg to be her suitors, but she always gets shot down by the Young Master..."

"I was asking about the red-haired male." A flicker of interest crossed her eyes.

"You don’t even know who he is! He’s the highly respected Young Master of the Bian Clan, Shaoye of the Si Family! A Pure-blooded King Beast, a veteran of a hundred battles who has never known defeat, and the one who led the troops to recapture Desolate City." The servant’s face was full of admiration, but he added with a hint of regret, "But the Young Master is only resting in the city for a few days. He’ll be leaving soon."

Sang Luo gave the servant a few Beast Crystals and walked over.

This Young Master was quite wealthy. He bought up all the remaining Gambling Stones on the basement level and had them cut open on the spot.

Unfortunately, his luck was poor. Most of them contained ordinary Spirit Stones, with only a few High Grade Spirit Stones among them.

Sang Luo also handed her Gambling Stone to the owner.

It revealed a rare Top Grade Spirit Stone, a Profund Light Stone. It was extremely suitable as an inlay for a sword scabbard and would be priceless at auction.

The entire room was stunned.

Such incredible luck even made the Young Master glance in Sang Luo’s direction—or more accurately, at the Profund Light Stone in her hand.

Sang Luo pretended not to notice and left with her prize.

Just as she stepped outside, she was targeted by a group of thugs.

Just as the thugs were about to attack and rob her, the Young Master appeared in the nick of time and took care of several of them.

Sang Luo turned to look at him, a little surprised, then smiled deferentially. "Thank you for your help, Young Master!"

"I just can’t stand people causing trouble on my turf." He shot her a glance, his tone cold and proud.

"Marquis, we should be going." A Profound Clothe Beastman had appeared behind them at some point and bowed respectfully. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Si Ye nodded. As he turned to leave, Sang Luo hurried forward and offered him the Profund Light Stone. "Thank you for saving my life, Young Master. Please accept this stone as my token of gratitude."

’This precious stone is good, but it’s not quite right for earrings, and the color doesn’t suit Ah Ze. I can tell Si Ye is very interested in this stone, so I’ll do him a favor and earn some goodwill.’

"You certainly know how to play your cards, but I don’t like taking advantage of people." Si Ye casually tossed her a Jade Ring. It was filled with Beast Crystals, and the Jade Ring alone was worth as much as the stone.

Sang Luo said, "Thank you, Young Master!"

Si Ye grunted in acknowledgment and teleported away.

Sang Luo watched him leave, the interest in her eyes lingering. When he had made his move earlier, she had seen it clearly—top-tier talent, at the Peak of King Rank, just one step away from reaching Emperor Rank.

This top-tier prodigy of the King Rank was practically a golden opportunity delivered right to her doorstep.

’I have to win him over as soon as possible.’

Sang Luo opened her palm. When the two of them had made contact just now, she had left a spiritual power mark on Si Ye, allowing her to know where he had gone.

Her figure vanished as well.

...

「Dongfeng City. An Inn.」

After paying for the room at the counter, Sang Luo separately gave the Shopkeeper a few Beast Crystals. "I have a small favor to ask in a moment, if you wouldn’t mind helping..."

’Just as she finished her instructions, a lithe, tall figure appeared outside the door. Si Ye had changed into a narrow-sleeved, elegant robe for this outing and had no one following him. His attire was much more low-key. He must have some personal business to attend to, coming alone to this remote little city.’

However, his flamboyant red hair, distinguished features, and the overwhelmingly noble aura he exuded still made everyone in the inn turn to look at the entrance.

Si Ye paid them no mind, walked to the counter, and put down the room fee. "A sky-class room, please."

"I’m sorry, sir, but there’s only one sky-class room left, and it was just booked by this guest here."

Only then did Si Ye notice Sang Luo. He raised a long eyebrow. "It’s you."

’As expected, for a powerful and noble Young Master like him, a passerby like me whom he’s only met once has very little presence.’ It took Si Ye a moment to even recall that he had met such a person a couple of days ago.

Sang Luo beamed. "What a coincidence, Young Master."

The Shopkeeper looked between the two of them and said with a smile, "That sky-class room is actually a suite. Since you two know each other, you could share it."
