  The girl was obviously intimidated by Chu Yu's icy and emotionless tone, taking two steps back in fear, still staring at the "Black Cloud Rope" that had been tucked into his pocket, revealing only a small portion of it. Thinking that this was the only keepsake left to her by her parents, she confirmed again that she couldn't possibly get it back through intimidation or force from Chu Yu's hands. After hesitating for a while, the girl finally made up her mind, gritting her teeth and saying, "Return it to you, just know that you're a petty ghost who bullies girls." As she spoke, she took out a small leather pouch the size of a palm from her bosom and tossed it at Chu Yu.

  She got back what belonged to her, but Chu Yu didn't rush to leave either. He hadn't planned on dealing with the girl in front of him, who was full of mystery and cleverness everywhere. Just now, his icy expression gradually dissipated, and for some reason, Chu Yu actually revealed a hint of a smile: "You're a stowaway."

  "Nonsense." The girl bit her lip tightly, staring at Chu Yu Dao with an exceptionally vigilant and distrustful gaze: "That old man called you boss, but you're younger than me, yet you deliberately put on a pretentious adult demeanor. It's really unseemly. Hurry up and return this young lady's treasure, and we'll be even."

  "Very agile thinking, at least I didn't know how to cleverly interject and disrupt others' thoughts when I was your age."

  "Alright, I'll make you a deal. If you answer my three questions honestly, I'll return this inferior treasure to you and won't pursue the matter of you stealing from me any further. What do you say?"

  "Hei Yun Suo is not a mediocre treasure, I won't let you insult it!" The girl's agitated voice surprised Chu Yu Xin, who thought that this little girl was extremely intelligent and shouldn't have said something so irrational.

  "Never mind that, you haven't answered me yet."

  "Three questions, not many, go ahead and ask." From start to finish, the girl's gaze never left "Hei Yun Suo". She spoke while fiddling with her hem with one hand.

  "Is it just you who came on board?"

  "Yes." The girl replied affirmatively.

  "Did you sneak onto the boat?"

  "No." The girl replied without hesitation.

  When he asked the third question, Chu Yu suddenly stopped, as if he had already made a guess in his heart.

  Instead, the girl saw that Chu Yu was no longer asking questions and hastily said: "You can't cheat, there's still one more question left, ask quickly, and after answering, you must return 'Hei Yun Suo' to me immediately."

  "As for the third question... I haven't thought of it yet, I'll ask when I think of it." Chu Yu yawned and waved his hand: "Or maybe tomorrow I will remember what to ask for the third question, you can go back first, I still have things to do."

  After finishing speaking, Chu Yu took out the "Black Cloud Rope" from the pot and stuffed it into his bosom under the girl's extremely nervous gaze.

  "You...!" The girl, in a fit of rage, rushed forward and grabbed Chu Yu's arm, but was shaken off by the latter with a slight force. She immediately let go and retreated, already aware that she couldn't openly snatch the "Black Cloud Rope". Suddenly, she burst into tears, "You big cheat! You bully kind-hearted innocent girls, you don't keep your promises, you're a scoundrel!"

  No matter in the past or present, Chu Yu had never been called a scoundrel before. However, this time he didn't mind at all and said: "Say whatever you want, if you continue crying like that, I'll get annoyed and maybe by tomorrow I won't even remember to ask your third question."

  Chu Yu's words had an unexpected effect, and the girl, who seemed to be crying in distress, suddenly stopped making a sound. "I won't let you out of my sight," she said. "From now on, wherever you go, I'll follow you, until you return my 'Black Cloud Rope'. Even if it's annoying, I'll annoy you to death."

  "Suit yourself, if you're not a stowaway, then come along. I'm going to attend the self-selected trading session now." Without knowing what Chu Yu had in mind, he shrugged and said, walking down from the deck towards the performance hall on his own.

  "Big scammer, you can't get rid of me, humph." The girl quickly picked up the small round hat that had just fallen to the ground and closely followed behind Chu Yu.

  The performance hall of the "Yunfei" cruise ship is as large as an entire football field. Upon entering, although it's not packed to the point where people are jumping up and down, a rough glance around suggests that there are probably three to five hundred people present.

  This time, the self-selected trading fair set up more than 260 sales booths. Only those who hold formal invitation letters are eligible to apply. People belonging to the same Xiu Zhen Shi Jia can only apply for one booth even if they hold multiple invitations. Only individual customers can enjoy separate applications for sales booths.

  Because the place was quite large and there weren't too many people, Chu Yu didn't take long to find Hua Tianxiong, who had already applied for a sales cabinet.

  Look, the boss is coming over. Hua Tianxiong didn't have much surprise, but when he saw that Xibei cargo, who had just stolen his things on the deck, was following closely behind Chu Yu with a small run, he wasn't surprised at all. "Boss, how did she come too? Didn't you already throw her into the sea?"

  "You old man, your words are so impolite! Why did you throw me into the sea? I was kind enough to return the things you lost, and yet you repay my kindness with enmity!" The girl rushed to speak before Chu Yu could open his mouth, and she scolded Hu Tianxiong until he shook his head repeatedly, feeling quite helpless.

  "Hero, don't bother with her, let's set up our stall and start selling." Chu Yu didn't explain anything to Hua Tianxiong either, took out the small leather bag that the girl had returned, and slowly pulled out three items from it.

  The size of a fingernail, shining with a faint golden light, the Shaoyang Pearl, a top-grade immortal stone that can only be formed after thousands of years of accumulation at the bottom layer of a volcanic lava.

  It can be used on the cloth array to gather the power of Yang and Gang, and when used to display the thunder method, it can add several times the power. However, this is not the most precious place for Shaoyang Pearl. The most precious thing about Shaoyang Pearl is that it can greatly increase the cultivation base for people who have already built their foundation. If one can fully absorb the energy contained in the Shaoyang Pearl, they can instantly raise their cultivation power by two levels. However, there is still a restriction, which is that the user must be a man who cultivates fire attributes.

  One inch long, two inches wide, the color is emerald green, and on its surface, a faint purple mist can be seen, which is the aura of the Bi Xi Wen Yu. This Bi Xi Wen Yu is not a kind of immortal stone, but rather a top-grade material for refining flying swords. Originally, it was a thousand-year-old Wen Yu that absorbed the purest Tai Yi wood energy in the air at a place filled with spiritual energy. Later, it was swallowed by a demon who possessed deep cultivation, and as the demon traveled, its aura gradually deepened. This object absorbed enough of the demon's Dan energy, and on its emerald green surface, a faint purple mist condensed. If used to refine a flying sword, a piece of this size would be sufficient to create a mid-grade third-level flying sword when combined with other materials that are not too rare.

  A small, dark, and unremarkable iron disc, also known as "Meteorite Iron", is the essence of a meteorite from outer space. Almost every year, tens of millions of meteorites fall to Earth, but 99% of them disintegrate in the atmosphere, and those that make it through are mostly pulverized by the massive impact force, leaving only small stone fragments behind. A piece of Meteorite Iron like this is rarely seen even once a century.

  Although the fallen star iron that absorbed the power of the stars outside the sky can also be used as a material for refining treasures and making equipment, it is undoubtedly a huge waste. Because of the presence of the power of the stars outside the sky on it, if one can get a famous craftsman to make it into an amulet, wear it close to the body every year, and absorb the star power contained in it during cultivation, it will be twice as effective with half the effort.
