BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2583: Ice Flame Continent 40
Observing Little Junior Sister’s tone and expression, Gu Chaoyan could easily discern her interest in the Dharma artifact.
This revelation surprised her.
She had no personal interest in the item, but it seemed Little Junior Sister had a liking for it.
Throughout this period, Little Junior Sister had maintained their close friendship, unaffected by Kang Shi’s attitude. Grateful as ever, Little Junior Sister had proven to be a reliable companion.
Recognizing the potential for a lasting friendship, Gu Chaoyan considered treating Little Junior Sister as one of her own.
In that moment, she already decided to exchange the Dharma artifact with Ziluo for Little Junior Sister.
Little Junior Sister nodded in acknowledgment and confessed with a hint of embarrassment, “I’m a little interested in beast taming, though it’s not very practical for me at the moment. My cultivation level isn’t high enough.”
“…”
“Senior Brother Kang Shi, you don’t need to consider me,” she added, not wanting to burden him further. Little Junior Sister took another glance at the Dharma artifact but refrained from dwelling on it, clearly indicating her reluctance to trouble Senior Brother Kang Shi.
Remaining quiet on the sidelines, she waited patiently, having other matters to attend to. However, out of respect for Senior Brother Kang Shi’s guest, she refrained from interrupting.
Ziluo’s gaze fixated on Little Junior Sister, as if she was intruding on her territory. Despite feeling displeased, Ziluo had no authority to dismiss her.
Looking at Kang Shi, Ziluo doubted he would act solely based on her preference for the Dharma artifact.
Ziluo spoke casually, “Since you don’t like this, I’ll go get something else. I’ll be right there.”
But Gu Chaoyan interrupted her, saying, “Wait.”
“I have no intention of taking this item from you because I genuinely don’t need it. So, I won’t exchange it for pills. However, if Little Junior Sister likes it, I’ll make an exception and give it to you. Leave the Dharma artifact, and take this pill instead,” Gu Chaoyan declared calmly, negotiating with an air of fairness.
Ziluo, originally prepared to make a change, became perplexed at this unexpected turn. What did this mean? Was he going back on his word for another woman?
She wouldn’t allow Kang Shi to treat other women this way, especially if he was breaking the rules for them.
Expressing her discontent, Ziluo questioned Kang Shi, “What do you mean? Are you breaking the rules for a woman?”
They were engaged once, and even though she was now married to Kang Yan, it hadn’t been long. How could Kang Shi seemingly forget about her and curry favor with someone else?
Gu Chaoyan regarded Ziluo as if she were a fool. “A Dharma artifact like yours would never be able to exchange for my elixir pills. But because Little Junior Sister likes it, the rules are being bent. Miss Ziluo, please conduct yourself appropriately,” she added, clearly irritated by Ziluo’s attitude.
Unwilling to marry Kang Shi herself, Ziluo shouldn’t prevent him from treating others well.
“Kang Shi!” Ziluo roared in frustration.
“Are you going to make the exchange or not? If not, please leave,” Gu Chaoyan said impatiently, while Little Junior Sister remained silent, watching the drama unfold.
Gu Chaoyan was on the verge of chasing Ziluo away.
“Fine, I will make the exchange,” Ziluo yielded. She needed the pill urgently, and dealing with someone as stubborn as Kang Shi might not result in a favorable trade for other items. She wouldn’t settle for the short end of the stick and decided to break through first.
