"Click——"

Gao Dongxu carried a bowl of red date rice porridge, opened the door and entered the room. He saw A Ning lying on the pillow against the headboard, her face pale, her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes closed, her face contorted in pain, and her forehead covered in cold sweat.

With a slight frown, Gao Dongxu stepped forward, put down the rice porridge, and reached out to touch her forehead, which was burning hot.

"No, don't touch me..." Ah Ning struggled to open her eyes, stubbornly glaring at Gao Dongxu, her voice hoarse and her breath weak as she spoke.

"If you don't want to die, drink some porridge first, then take your medicine and get a good night's sleep." Gao Dongxu sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up the porridge, and used a spoon to bring it to A Ning's lips, saying softly.

Ah Ning pulled the blanket tighter, shivering from the cold. Her eyelids were heavy, and her vision was blurred by the fever. She looked at Gao Dongxu and instinctively opened her dry, bloodless lips to drink the rice porridge at the right temperature.

After feeding her spoonful by spoonful, Gao Dongxu took some cooled boiled water and fed A Ning fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory medicine. Then he picked her up, laid her down, and went out to get a blanket to cover her.

Seeing Ah Ning, who was delirious with fever, trembling all over, and muttering something incoherently, Gao Dongxu frowned and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he took out the Dragon Pattern Jue and an antique with spiritual energy to convert the spiritual liquid.

After converting a third of the cup of spiritual liquid, Gao Dongxu looked at A Ning, whose pretty face was burning red, and put his arm around her neck, letting her lean against him, while bringing the spiritual liquid to her lips.

Watching Ah Ning greedily devour the drink as if it were sweet nectar, Gao Dongxu whispered in her ear, "If you drink this, you'll owe me even more. Once you're healed, you'll start paying back your debt. You won't leave me alive until you've transformed into my form..."

After drinking a small cup of the elixir, the effects were immediate. Ah Ning stopped having tremors, and her brows gradually relaxed.

Gao Dongxu put her back on the pillow, looked at the delirious Ah Ning, hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to be human.

The devil in his mind kept tempting him, 'Don't you want to try what forty degrees Celsius feels like?'

Suppressing the devil's temptation, Gao Dongxu got up, walked to the table, pulled out a chair, sat down, closed his eyes, and sent his consciousness into his storage space.

Soon, Gao Dongxu opened his eyes, holding a purple jade box that Tie Miansheng had placed under his head.

The so-called purple jade is actually amethyst, which is generally used to make amulets and talismans, and is rarely used to make boxes.

The box in front of him was carved from a single piece of purple jade, which is extremely rare. Purple jade is not easy to work with, so there are no patterns on the box, only a gold trim at the lid.

It should be noted that ordinary jade pillows are already very precious, while those made of purple jade are priceless. Even the emperor at that time probably did not receive such treatment.

Gao Dongxu placed the purple jade box on the table. The box was unlocked. When he opened it, he found a roll of golden silk inside.

The entire roll of silk was inlaid with gold threads, so even after more than two thousand years, it was still well preserved. Gao Dongxu took out a pair of white gloves from his space and put them on. He picked up the gold-inlaid silk and unfolded it. On the left, the first line read "The Book of the Underworld King", and then the sides were covered with small characters.

Although he couldn't understand it, Gao Dongxu guessed that it was about the life of King Lu Shang. Unfortunately, everything he did was for the benefit of others.

After Gao Dongxu folded it up, he put it back into the purple jade box. If he were to sell this thing, it should be worth over a hundred million.

He put it aside, took off his gloves, and the key he had obtained from the thousand-year-old female corpse reappeared in his hand.

Looking at the key in his hand, Gao Dongxu's eyes gleamed with a strange light. This key was not just for opening the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish Box.

If it weren't for his domineering nature, neither Zhang Qiling nor Wu Sansheng would have let this key go, because it was made from two of the most magical materials in the Tomb Raider Chronicles.

Meteorite jade and meteorite copper!
That's why this key makes the more than two-thousand-year-old female corpse look so lifelike, as if she were asleep.

However, preserving youth and preventing decay is only one of its amazing functions; its greatest function is to prevent corpses from turning into corpses.

Especially the transformation of corpses after consuming the Corpse Beetle Pill. Moreover, this key, which runs through the entire Tomb Raider storyline in the original work, plays an extremely important role. It can not only replace the Ghost Seal to prevent attacks from mummies and ghost soldiers.

It is also the most needed thing for Chen Pi Asi, an important character who starts the story of the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds. Chen Pi needs it to suppress the corpse transformation in his body. Later, it is also the guiding light that Zhang Qiling left for Wu Xie to find the Bronze Gate after entering the Bronze Gate.

With this key, Gao Dongxu could rip off Chen Pi Asi handsomely. After all, Chen Pi Asi had sold quite a few artifacts to foreigners over the years.

At the same time, he was very interested in Chen Pi Asi's nine-claw hook technique and wanted to learn it.

Besides this key, Gao Dongxu also brought out something crucial, even a key factor that could influence the outcome of the battle between Wu Xie's Nine Gates and the Wang family—the Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse!
This is why Gao Dongxu knew that the fire in the Lu Palace would spread to the burning mountain, just like in the original story, yet he took no precautions whatsoever.

Because, one day in the future, the Wang family will gather their forces to descend upon the tomb of the Prince of Lu in search of the Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse. In the original novel, the Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse was decapitated by Zhang Qiling, causing a wildfire to spread. However, the Wang family still found the decapitated Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse in the tomb, and then, using some unknown means, reattached its head, utilizing the Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse's super hallucinogenic abilities to protect the Wang family's core computing department.

The so-called computing department was essentially a tool used by the Wang family's upper echelons to maintain their belief in "absolute correctness." Through subjective judgment and deception of their subordinates, the upper echelons disguised it as "scientific calculation" to brainwash and control the group of self-proclaimed saviors who were acting like madmen.

This is like the Loom of Fate in the Hollywood movie "Wanted." You see, for a fanatical organization, once its beliefs collapse, it means the entire organization will disintegrate.

Therefore, with the Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse, he had the Wang family's Achilles' heel. As long as the Wang family did not want to collapse, they would have to let Gao Dongxu do whatever he wanted in order to obtain the Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse.

The biggest advantage of having a God's-eye view is that you don't have to work yourself to the bone, risk your life, or run around aimlessly. As long as you grasp the key moments, you can turn the tables and become the biggest winner.

Thinking of this, Gao Dongxu revealed a smug and cunning smile, and glanced back at the unconscious A Ning on the bed.

He detained A Ning not simply because he was lustful at first sight. Of course, lusting after her body was one aspect, but more importantly, he wanted to use A Ning to take advantage of Jude Kao, who was obsessed with immortality.

Jude Kao, this old American devil, has not only gained great fame in Europe and America over the past few decades by stealing and selling Chinese cultural relics, but has also accumulated a huge fortune.

As a true expert on China, Jude Kao truly took root in China and continuously absorbed its resources to strengthen himself.

To be honest, just the fact that he adopted so many orphans from China, raised and nurtured them, and turned them into tools and weapons in his hands is enough to make one admire the cunning and deep-seated scheming of this old American devil.

However cunning and treacherous Jude Kao was, already old and slowly approaching death, and had almost gone mad in his desire to obtain the ancient Chinese secret of immortality.

Therefore, Gao Dongxu planned to use A Ning as an intermediary to sell the information about immortality to Qiu Dekao.

Well, one hundred million US dollars for a piece of information about immortality shouldn't be considered expensive.

I just don't know if that old American devil Jude Kao has enough US dollars for him to harvest.

He closed his eyes again, his consciousness entering the storage space. Looking at the bronze tripods, bronze artifacts, warhorse terracotta warriors, human figurines, and other treasures representing royal power that he had brought out from the Lu King's Palace, he was a little conflicted about whether or not to make a move.

He intended to keep that raw jade bed for himself; no matter how hot the summer was, lying on it would be incredibly comfortable.

As for the jade figurine, that's not for sale. It's made entirely of meteorite jade. In the future, he can obtain a corpse beetle pill. If he truly reaches the day of his natural death, he can only consume the corpse beetle pill, wear the jade figurine, and wait for three thousand years...

As for the remaining bronze tripods and such, keeping them as his collection is really not as good as selling them for money.

However, if these artifacts were sold on the black market, their prices would be absolutely astronomical. If they weren't sold on the black market, these items would be targeted as soon as they came into the open.

In fact, the best solution would be to sell it to foreigners, such as Jude Kao. However, not selling national treasures to foreigners is one of the few principles that Gao Dongxu adheres to, and it is a bottom line that he cannot cross.

"Take it slow—" Gao Dongxu muttered with a frown. If it really didn't work out, he would just keep it for himself.

dong dong——

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Gao Dongxu put away the purple jade box and the meteorite copper key, got up and walked to the door. He opened the door and saw the two sisters, Ruxin and Ruqing, who had changed into casual clothes.

"You really are forgetting the old for the new—" Ruqing, that little firecracker, immediately said jealously and coquettishly when she saw Gao Dongxu.

Ru Xin smiled and asked, "How is the person?"

Gao Dongxu smiled and ushered the two sisters into the house. He put his arm around their slender waists and said with a smile, "It's not that I've forgotten the old for the new. I'm just worried that no one will watch over her and she'll leave without saying goodbye. That would be a huge loss for me. I'm not some pushover who does good deeds without expecting anything in return."

Since I saved her, she must repay me, either by marrying me or by serving me like a slave.

She said coquettishly and charmingly, "Why do you have to be my slave? On the bed?"

"Haha... All the effort I put into you sisters wasn't in vain, you understand me better and better." Gao Dongxu laughed smugly, then turned and kissed the seductive, smiling red lips of the woman.

Watching the two kissing passionately, Ru Xin gave them a charmingly disdainful look, then turned to look at the beautiful face of the unconscious Ah Ning, which was slightly flushed from the fever. She walked over, reached under the covers, took out Ah Ning's arm, placed her fingers on Ah Ning's wrist, and began to take her pulse.
