The businessman was somewhat embarrassed. "Well...see you tomorrow? I hope you two can reconcile as before tomorrow..."
"Okay, see you tomorrow. I wish you all the best in your business." With that, Tibo chased after the route Tian had taken.
Paimon: Tibbo, why don't you buy it?
[Tibo: Tian forgot what it meant; it wasn't a blessing or a way to bring good luck, but something left for the deceased.]
[Aglaia: My teacher...]
[Tian: It's okay, don't worry about me. You should have told me sooner. Did you think I would be unreasonable?]
[Xia Die: Lord Ti'an, you need to rest well.]
[Tining: Your... power is insufficient to open the Hundred Realms Gate twice. Tien, you must behave yourself.]
[Tian: No, no, I still need to get more embers back with Little Gray and Little White. They'll be in big trouble without my help.]
[Star: That damned Orphalus Oracle! Give me back my teacher, Tian!]
[Qingque: What a heavy atmosphere. The heroes in the Golden Descendant Oracle are prisoners of fate, not even as good as ordinary people who live a peaceful life.]
Chapter 309 Divine Blood Honey Dew
Xia Die approached the merchant and asked, "Excuse me, what were Lord Tian and Lord Ti Bao talking about just now?"
"Miss Xia Die, it's been a long time." The merchant greeted her and then sighed, "Alas, to be honest, I'm not entirely clear on the situation either."
The merchant, who enjoyed collecting handicrafts, bought a small item at the marble fair to use as an ornament. When Tian passed by, he spotted it immediately and said it was a treasure from his hometown.
Tibo, however, believed it to be a replica. If it were truly the work of Yanusapolis and made of glass, how could it have survived to this day? Therefore, she refused Tien's offer to buy it.
The above is from a businessman's perspective.
After hearing the explanation, Xia Die said, "Sir, I intend to buy this item... Could you please part with it?"
“That’s alright.” The merchant looked troubled. “But if it really is a relic of Yanusapolis, it’s probably quite valuable. Miss Xia Die, I am, after all, a merchant, so what do you think…”
“I understand, go ahead and make your offer.” Xia Die always considered others’ needs.
"Isn't it because you don't bargain?" Xing wondered, not wanting her to be fooled; she was too naive.
"Wait, I have an objection!"
The businessman, in high spirits and thinking he could make a fortune, asked, "My friend, what are your thoughts?"
Xing frowned. "Even Tibao has identified it as fake, and you still dare to argue?"
"Well... alright then, I'll do Miss Xia Die a favor by offering her the goods at cost price." The merchant scratched his head awkwardly. "I hope you'll continue to support my little shop in the future."
After the merchant left, Xia Die thanked Xing, "Thank you for speaking up for me. I usually stay at home and don't go out much. Although I have some savings, I'm really not good at dealing with people, let alone haggling over prices. Without you, I'm afraid I would have had to spend a lot of money."
[Nicole: You naive little girl, you're even easier to fool than Miss Ya! That's money, you absolutely can't let those unscrupulous merchants swindle you. Let me teach you, how about I only charge a 10% handling fee?]
[Xia Die: Thank you for your kindness, but I have enough stars.]
[Star: Not bad, not bad, Galaxy Succubus performed as expected, and the Butterfly is about to transform into my shape.]
[Xia Die: Your Excellency Xing… your words are a bit too explicit, I’m a little embarrassed.]
[Firefly: Sam transforms, I will ignite Onpharos!]
[Hoshimi Miyabi: I think I saw someone mention my name, Nico. What can I do for you?]
[Nicole: Haha, no, I was just worried about you, checking to see how Lord Xu Shou is doing lately, whether he's eating well, training...]
[Hoshimi Miyabi: Thank you for your concern, I'm fine.]
[Ring: Uh… Ya, you're being a bit bot-like. Nicole clearly said you're easy to fool, kid.]
[Hoshimi Miyabi: I know. So, I'm already at the door of the Rabbit House.]
[Billy: Someone's knocking, I'll go open it... Oh no, Nicole, get out of here! Ambi, follow me, we'll go out the back door.]
This artwork is a bright red crystal that refracts brilliant light under the sun, just like a red agate.
Xia Die didn't care whether the item was real or fake; what mattered was its special significance to Tian, as it reminded her of her hometown. That alone was enough to give it value.
It just so happens that she has always received a lot of help from Tian and has been looking for an opportunity to give her a gift. Today is such a lucky day; as if fate has secretly helped her, she will use it as a gift.
Because the little trinket is fragile, Xia Die plans to make some minor modifications and sew it into wool felt.
[Xia Die: Lord Tian, I'm so sorry. I didn't even understand the meaning behind that artifact before I took the liberty of giving it to you.]
[Tian: Tian likes anything Xiaodie gives her.]
[Sai Fei'er: Did you know? Our lovely little princess is also a skilled craftswoman, making exquisite and beautiful handicrafts. Anyone interested? They're only 1000 points each, and will be shipped immediately.]
[Star: This is so good, it even has the original flavor... Damn, block me.]
[Xia Die: Your Excellency... and Lady Sai Fei'er!]
This little incident has come to an end for now. We continued our journey to meet Aglaia.
On the top floor of the Golden Baths, Dan Heng had already arrived. "You've finally arrived, Xing."
Aglaia smiled and said, "Welcome, Butterfly, and also the... Pioneers from beyond the heavens."
"Quack, a present, I want a present!" Xing blinked, her heart filled with anticipation for the present. Her burning gaze left Aglaia speechless for a moment.
"...I'm sorry to have made you laugh." Dan Heng said awkwardly.
Aglaia: "It's heartening to see Xing so spirited after such a tough battle."
"Ohmma had no choice but to involve you two in the Battle of Nicardoli, putting you in such a perilous situation. We are deeply grateful for your pioneering deeds and wish to thank you with the highest honors of Ohmma."
She took out a bottle of golden-red honeydew, the bottle decorated with exquisite gold, making it look less like a beverage and more like a valuable collectible.
"This substance is called Divine Blood Honey Dew. It is said that there are only twelve bottles of it, brewed from crops watered with the divine blood of the Titans. The three remaining bottles in the world have all been stored in the Ohmmar Treasury."
“In times when life was still vibrant, every city-state that was fortunate enough to find it regarded it as a treasure, and opening it in diplomatic ceremonies symbolized the highest honor.”
"Now, Ohmma is willing to follow tradition and offer drinks to the visitors from outer space as a sign of sincerity."
Xing's hand, holding the Divine Blood Honey Dew, trembled slightly as Aglaia introduced it. This gift seemed far too precious.
"Ms. Aglaia gave such a valuable gift, surely it wasn't just to express her gratitude?" Dan Heng asked bluntly.
“You are very perceptive, Lord Danheng,” Aglaia explained. “Your previous actions have already demonstrated your goodwill—we are willing to use this cup of divine blood honey as proof to forge a preliminary alliance with the pioneers.”
Having only recently arrived in Ohm, Danheng was already being schemed against by Aglaia, so naturally he couldn't trust her.
"Excuse my bluntness... but does allying with the Golden Blood mean we'll be drawn into Ohm's internal strife?"
He said in a cold tone, “You should be able to understand where our caution comes from, Ms. Aglaia.”
Xing nodded, agreeing with Danheng's statement.
"Please don't misunderstand, we will still provide as much assistance as possible to the Fire Chaser Journey, within our capabilities." After all, to expand, it's essential to gain a deeper understanding of Titans and the Black Tide...
Danheng's meaning was self-evident: the Golden Blood did not yet have enough trust for the two sides to form an alliance.
Moreover, "I've heard there's a disagreement between the Golden Clan and the Senate of Ohmar. As outsiders, we don't want to take sides in this struggle..."
[Small Candle: Divine Blood Honey Dew, Golden Woven Jewel... What are these things? Could they be Ohmma from a thousand years in the future? Amazing! I, Caesar, will surely conquer them and make them my own.]
[Aglaia: Lord Jinzhi…you are Lord Caesar?]
[Caesar: Who called me? I am the leader of the Sons of Calydon, the chief of the Motorbike Tribe, and a king in the making!]
[Lucy: I wasn't talking about you.]
[The Fire Thief: Chaos...Unknown...]
[Star: Who is it? Aglaia, why do you look so incredulous? Wait… the demigod of law, Cerrudra.]
[Little Candle: Ha, I never thought future generations would still know my name. Pioneer Star, extraterrestrials, Iron Tomb, Lygus… Onpharos was actually a testing ground, a cradle of destruction.]
[Aglaia: @LittleCandle, let's chat privately.]
[Ring: Hahaha, Little Candle, her name is so strange.]
[Little Candle: ...Don't laugh!]
"Wow, Grey and Dan are really perceptive! They have great potential to join the Morning Light Garden."
Chapter 310 The Overly Sociable Kazemura
The sudden sound drew everyone's attention.
A pink-haired girl with pigtails walked towards them with small steps, her radiant smile dispelling the serious atmosphere and seemingly purifying their souls.
"But don't worry~ It's not hard to tell from Ms. Aglaia's micro-expressions and tone of voice that she is very sincere to the two of you."
Danheng and Xing looked at each other; this girl was very outgoing.
Feng Jin continued, "Besides, as visitors from outer space, and having devoted so much effort to Ohema, you are already great heroes in everyone's eyes—Ms. Aglaia would never leave you all to be roasted under the noses of Aigle [Sky]!"
"Hmm? You are..." Dan Heng asked in confusion. She spoke for a long time but never mentioned her name.
Aglaia smiled gently. "You've come, Feng Jin. Thank you for taking care of the injured these past few days."
Feng Jin shook her head, "It's not hard work! The wounded are all very cooperative with the treatment. I'll be satisfied as long as everyone can go home healthy."
[Feng Jin: Haha, finally it's my turn to appear. How about it, isn't it a pleasant surprise?]
[Barbara: Wow, Fuuki, your hair color is so pretty, and your clothes are gorgeous too. Um… do you like being an idol?]
[My Little Pony (Windy): Are you me from the future? How amazing, to be able to witness the final journey of chasing the fire.]
[Star: Awesome! I now have three girls with twin tails. This is so heartwarming!]
[Little Candle: The future savior, Bai E, couldn't even pass the Trial of Conflict; the hope of saving Onpharos is slim. Wait… Feng Jin couldn't possibly exist in my era; you're not from the future.]
[That summer: I have some clues. Onpharos has been going through reincarnation. You might be the Golden Descendants from a previous life.]
[Bai E: Teacher Xia, but according to your previous deductions, the Golden Descendant from the last reincarnation should be the Titan of this world, right?]
[Na Ke Xia: First, don't call me Na Ke Xia. Second, I accidentally captured the truth of the world; we're stuck in this life of chasing fire. As for the reason, I haven't figured it out yet.]
[Nicole: This is so convoluted! What are you guys talking about, this cycle of reincarnation?]
[Wendy: Onpharos's situation is special. You are just data simulated by the scepter. Theoretically, it will exist as long as it's not cleared. That should be the explanation, right? After all, I've only been learning about computers for a few days.]
[Paimon: You street performer, your thinking is quite progressive.]
Wendy: Of course! As Teyvat's finest bard, I must keep up with the times.
[Little Candle: That makes sense now, but I'm very disappointed that you've been oppressed by the Senate until now.]
(To reiterate, the Golden Descendants with codenames are all characters from the 33550337th reincarnation, but they are unaware that all inconsistencies are attributed to the Mi-Sound System.)
Feng Jin turned her head, "Oh, Diebao is here too! I missed you so much."
"Why don't you call Aglaia 'Abao'?" Xing asked, looking at Aglaia.
"Heh..." Aglaia couldn't help but laugh out loud, her humanity increased by 1.
Xia Die was startled, "Your Excellency...!"
This is no joke!
“Oh… how dare you! Aglaia should be called a lady!” Feng Jin tried to ease the awkward atmosphere with a joke.
[At that moment, Xia: Ah Bao, ha... she's really lucky. Such a cute nickname, she should be given to the Earth Beast.]
[Magic Technique (Nakashi Natsu): As expected of me, we're on the same page. Magic technique!]
[Nakexia: From now on, please call him Polka Kakamu. This will attract the attention of another genius and cause some trouble for Laigushi.]
[Magic trick: Got it. Polka Kakamo!]
[Aglaia: Anaxxramas, your words are as eloquent as your knowledge, but it is unwise to oppose me. Your treasured earth beast dolls are confiscated, forever.]
[That Moment Summer & Magic Techniques: Abao, Abao...]
[Black Tower: You guys are really something, aren't you afraid of attracting that woman? Then you won't just be suffering in Gushi anymore.]
[Screw Gum: It's alright, Lady Black Tower. The Silent Lord seeks the known, and videos fall into the unknown; she wouldn't normally watch them on her own initiative.]
[Abao (Aglaia): What an interesting nickname! I like it very much. Thank you, Miss Feng Jin in the next reincarnation.]
[Kaze Sumire: Ah…is that right? Ms. Aglaia seems like a completely different person.]
[Star: But I really like this personality, hehe.]
