Chapter 35
Zhang Qiling, the Paragon of Beauty, Reflects in Calm

That face was too handsome, no wonder he was called ‘the unmatched beauty unseen in the world’!

The young man indeed had the qualifications. Standing at six feet tall, his long hair covered his right eye, black long pants paired with leather boots, a long, slim hooded trench coat, his figure was thin but not weak, but his entire aura and presence were stronger than even Han Xiao Liu's, as even Han Xiao Liu could tell.

“Whose? Who dropped it?”

The young man asked emotionlessly, holding the cow hair. When his gaze met Han Xiao Liu's, it instinctively caused him to tense up. This was an instinctive reaction after suddenly seeing a master and feeling a sense of crisis.

“I, it’s mine.”

Wu Xie stammered.

The young man threw the hair back without hesitation, then scanned the entire place with a cold gaze.

“Where did this guy come from? How come I didn't notice him at all?”

A Ning could also tell that the newcomer wasn't simple. Having Han Xiao Liu was already beyond expectations, and now another one came.

Apparently, she wasn't the only one with this thought. The ‘Boss’ in the car quickly took out his binoculars to see the newcomer clearly before decisively ordering everyone to leave.

“Everyone, retreat!”

A Ning glanced at Han Xiao Liu deeply, their gazes met, but Han Xiao Liu's eyes weren't friendly at this time.

Wu Xie and the three others collapsed on the ground, they were truly scared just now, but Wu Xie himself didn't realize that he didn't start shaking his legs despite being at such a disadvantage, and his thinking ability wasn't affected either.

No wonder he was from the Wu family.

“Whew~~ That scared the crap out of Fatty, I thought I was going to die today. Six, I won't call you a street rat anymore, whoever calls you that, I'll fight them.”

Wu Xie now looked at Han Xiao Liu and then at Zhang Qi Ling. The former had just displayed skills like a movie spy, cool and powerful, as for the latter, he was sure that he had climbed up from the cliff and definitely wasn't an ordinary person either.

The young man didn't say anything, he simply nodded towards Han Xiao Liu before looking straight ahead and leaving.

“Oh my, those eyes, full of indifference. I really want to learn a few moves from him, the fighting techniques and experience passed down for thousands of years, my current skills definitely wouldn't be a match for him, but, no rush, we’ll meet at the Gua Zi Temple!”

Han Xiao Liu also turned around and got back into the car, starting it, with a burst of the accelerator, he drove straight to the capital. After seeing the young man, he no longer had the mood to continue sightseeing.

The mentality that had made him feel a little cocky because of the body enhancement from the system was suddenly cooled down.

“Oh my, Han Xiao Liu, you should take us with you, Six, come back~~~”

Han Xiao Liu couldn't hear the cries of the little fatty from behind the car, even if he did, he wouldn't stop. They were not close, at this moment, he had only one thought, and that was to go into the tomb, to become stronger!

But to say Han Xiao Liu was afraid of Zhang Qi Ling, that wasn't true either, after all, the trump cards in his hand weren't weak either.

...

“Creak~”

The Land Cruiser stopped at the door of the Curious Goods Shop, Han Xiao Liu got off, wearing a suit and carrying a small bag.

The spy who had been guarding around here all day immediately sent a signal to his master.

“He’s still here. What exactly does Yin Nan Feng want to do? Did he actually fall for me? Or does he want to make me a tool? If it's the former, that's fine, I’ll just sacrifice my looks. If it's the latter, heh~~”

The store remained unchanged. Someone was guarding it, naturally, no one with no brains would come here. Besides, this store was ‘famous’ in Panjiayuan, so probably no one would come.

Han Xiao Liu went straight to the basement, then opened a four-meter square empty room and released the Kunlun Divine Tree and the Queen of Jingjue inside.

“Should be no problem.”

Han Xiao Liu looked at the Queen of Jingjue's face, feeling something strange about it, he felt like it was Xue Li lying there, and the peaceful expression didn't make him feel vigilant at all.

“This space of mine isn't as good as your underground palace, but don’t be picky. To be frank, you’re just a tool, preserving your corpse is already doing you a favor. Climbing into my bed is fine, but don’t come into my dreams.”

Then Han Xiao Liu continued to release the jade eyeballs. He felt a strong sense of ominousness from this thing, making him uncomfortable.

“This thing should be sold, there’s nothing worth researching in a piece of jade, even if it was handed over, it would probably disappear mysteriously.”

Finally, Han Xiao Liu took out a glass bottle from his backpack. The bottle cap had air holes, and inside there was a thumb-sized blue glowing ladybug.

This was just a random catch by Han Xiao Liu.

“I was thinking of researching this thing, but, forget it, too dangerous.”

Having made up his mind, Han Xiao Liu took the jade eyeballs and glass bottle back upstairs, took a shower, and came back downstairs again.

He placed the jade eyeballs in an inconspicuous place, then began to think about this operation.

“This operation wasn't perfect. Although the archaeology team, those bunch of good-for-nothings, held me back, there were also oversights in my own decisions.”

Han Xiao Liu felt angry thinking about how everything had been going smoothly after going down to Kunlun Glacier, only because the archaeology team went down did it lead to a series of events.

“From now on, I'll absolutely never work with unreliable people. If I can’t avoid it, then I'll take care of them first, it’s better than being caught off guard later. After all, I’m starting to build a team now.”

“If it wasn't for my strong physique and the preparations I had made beforehand, I wouldn't have been able to pass the Corpse Fragrance Lily stage in the Jingjue Ancient City. And, in some specific environments, the shotgun’s area attack would actually be a limitation.”

Han Xiao Liu took out the most gratifying prize from Jingjue Ancient City, the golden dagger, until now he hadn't had time to look at this weapon carefully.

The dagger was less than ten inches long, but it was heavy in his hand, weighing about five pounds. The handle was made of pure gold, with intricate patterns carved on it. The blade was less than two fingers wide, about five inches long, single-edged, and with unrecognizable characters engraved on the blade.

“This thing looks like it was made from extraterrestrial meteorite, definitely not the most valuable Uz steel in the west. Although it's good, it's just too short.”

Han Xiao Liu was in a daze, holding the golden dagger and glass bottle in front of his eyes, when the door of the shop was pushed open again.

“Ding~Ding~”

“Welcome. Uh... how come it’s you?”
