Chapter 552: Beautiful and Magnificent Pearls Li Xiaotiao had only recently joined the group and hadn’t met Lin Yuan before that. Now, it was his first time seeing Lin Yuan. However, because Lin Yuan had been surrounded by many group members in the Purchase With No Loss store the previous time, the image of him wearing his strange mask had also spread through the fan club. Li Xiaotiao glanced at Duan He with suspicion, who was staring at the group admin. Suddenly, a strange idea entered his mind. His uncle was so powerful and not past middle age. By logic, he shouldn’t have had to worry about his son anymore. Yet, Duan He had never found a wife for himself. Could it be...? Li Xiaotiao’s mind spun quickly while his heart sounded an alarm. After he got home that night and received a beating from his mother, he would have to relay his discovery to her. Otherwise, when his uncle found himself a male partner, his mother might not be able to accept it. Duan He wasn’t aware of what was running through his nephew’s mind. Nevertheless, even if he did know, he wouldn’t have been in the mood to kick Li Xiaotiao. Duan He realized that although the masked youth before him was dressed in completely different clothes from the youth he had seen outside of Indigo Azure City, they both radiated the same special aura. Moreover, Duan He had paid special attention to the strange mask on Lin Yuan’s face at that time. This mask was extremely special as it had the majestic sky city engraved on it. Duan He was certain that he would not mistake this mask for another one. Just by looking at this mask, Duan He would not have been able to confirm Lin Yuan’s identity. However, Listen, who was standing beside Lin Yuan, was not wearing a mask. Hence, Duan He could clearly see his face. After looking at Listen, Duan He soon confirmed that the masked youth before him was indeed the same one he had met outside of Indigo Azure City. At the same time, Duan He also confirmed that this youth was the owner of the Purchase With No Loss store and the Moon Empress’ disciple. When he finally realized the Purchase With No Loss store’s owner’s true identity, he felt a tingling sensation at the back of his head. Duan He scanned the others seated in the store. It was possible that besides Listen, only he knew about the youth’s true identity. If others knew that the Purchase With No Loss store’s owner was the Moon Empress’ disciple, they definitely wouldn’t have dared to sit on the stools that the youth had just arranged. After confirming the youth’s identity, Duan He finally knew why there were 9,9 purity heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls in the group welfare. Only the Moon Empress’ disciple could so easily take out such a precious good that even pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters relied on luck to cultivate. Soon after, Duan He returned to his senses. If the Moon Empress’ disciple was the Purchase With No Loss store’s owner, then when his nephew spread gossip in the group, was it not equivalent to spreading the gossip directly to the person being gossiped about and exposing one’s identity at once? Duan He felt someone tugging at his sleeve. Upon lowering his head to find that it was Li Xiaotiao, he glared fiercely at the latter. Under his uncle’s ferocious glare, Li Xiaotiao was so scared that his throat immediately constricted, and he did not mention that he wanted to help the former bid at the auction. Rather, after looking around, Li Xiaotiao found that his cheap Master Duan Li still had a seat next to her and quickly trotted over. Sitting innocently beside Master Duan Li, he ignored his uncle’s cold stare from behind him. When Duan He raised his head to glance at the masked youth again, he suddenly realized that the latter was also looking in his direction. Duan He looked coldly into Lin Yuan’s eyes and found that his and Lin Yuan’s eyes were in a straight match. Immediately afterward, Duan He noticed that the masked youth’s mouth arched upward at the corner, revealing an indistinct smile. Duan He quickly flashed an awkward smile at Lin Yuan before sitting down in the last row. Lin Yuan was somewhat taken aback by this. He had hoped to seize the opportunity to contact Duan He through Recluse Study. However, he hadn’t thought that Duan He would actually turn out to be a member of the Purchase With No Loss store’s fan club. Now, if he wanted to contact Duan He, it would undoubtedly be much more convenient. Lin Yuan looked at Duan He’s awkward smile and was even more certain that the latter knew about his identity. Nevertheless, it was presently not a good time to come into contact with Duan He. Lin Yuan had to wait at least till the end of the group welfare auction before he could contact the latter. Seeing that almost everyone was seated, Lin Yuan announced clearly, “I had originally intended to conduct the group welfare auction in the group, just how I had auctioned the Flower Brocade Pearls the previous time. “Since everyone requested the auction to be conducted in the Star Web store, then I might as well take this opportunity to let you take a look at the batch of elemental pearls in my hand before the auction.” As Lin Yuan spoke, Listen walked to the former’s side with a tray. With a wave of his hand, the four 9.9 purity heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls of water, air, fire, and earth appeared in the tray. There were 12 pearls of each element and a total of 48 pearls. When these 48 pearls appeared, every one of them had an outer layer that contained pure elemental energy and bloomed with a unique color. The tray in Listen’s hands was shrouded in a layer of magnificent light. At that moment, a voice whined impatiently, “I want to know, besides the attributes of the 12 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, can I pick the pearls’ outer layer?” As the woman with the whiny voice spoke, she looked at the 48 pearls in Listen’s tray that were exuding colorful light and inhaled two breaths. The woman originally spoke subconsciously, but when the men around her heard it, they felt as though their bodies were out of their control. It had simply been too whiny. Even Stream in the Cloud, Zhou Jiaxin, and Violent-Tempered Woman felt themselves losing control over their bodies. They really wanted to use a righteous iron fist to beat the whining voice back into the woman’s belly. Upon hearing this voice, Lin Yuan did not have any opinion on it. He only suddenly remembered that Genius was already 2,5 years old. As a housekeeping beast, all Hundred Questions Beasts had to be neutered after reaching the age of 3. If not, it would caterwaul non-stop throughout the day every spring.
