"Sister Yun, this is the list of items Zhenzhen damaged, please take care of it."
After all, Gao Xuan had some principles; the quote didn't include an overnight fee.
On the virtual screen, Sister Yun looked surprised. As a professional bodyguard, she usually didn't show any expression. Unless she couldn't help it.
Wei Zhenzhen stayed over at Gao Xuan's house for a night and ran out crying the next afternoon.
After receiving the news, Sister Yun was both shocked and furious.
Gao Xuan was just a poor boy from the mountains, not worth a penny. He just had a good-looking face.
Getting involved with someone of Wei Zhenzhen's distinguished status was practically a miracle for him.
And yet, he dared to initiate a breakup with Wei Zhenzhen—how bold of him!
Even more infuriating, Gao Xuan actually sent her a quote, asking her to compensate for the items Wei Zhenzhen broke.
Sister Yun stared intently at Gao Xuan, her face dark without saying a word.
Gao Xuan on the screen seemed oblivious, and he smiled, "Sister Yun has my contact, whenever it's convenient, just transfer the money."
"I underestimated you."
Sister Yun, realizing her intimidation was ineffective, thought maybe Gao Xuan was truly blind to the situation and could only say in a deep voice, "Do you even know what you're doing?"
"Sister Yun doesn't sound happy."
Gao Xuan said with some confusion, "What, does Sister Yun mean the broken items don't need compensation?"
He was a bit puzzled, "That doesn't seem reasonable. Besides, Yuanlong Company can't even afford compensation money? If that's the case, forget it then."
Gao Xuan projected an air of magnanimity, "After all, Zhenzhen and I are also friends."
Sister Yun found Gao Xuan's words so galling, she said with a cold face, "I'll verify."
She directly closed the communication and contacted Wei Yue, "Boss, the young miss broke some things at Gao Xuan's house, and he's asking for compensation. How should we handle it?"
The compensation of tens of thousands was a trivial amount; Sister Yun could easily cover it for Wei Zhenzhen.
The problem was Gao Xuan's attitude, which displeased Sister Yun. This poor kid had no idea of his own status.
Wei Yue glanced at the quote and actually laughed, "This kid is quite interesting. Give him the money. Give him a bit extra."
Sister Yun hesitated and said, "Just let it go like that?"
Yuanlong Company was a massive commercial group, and as the group's top executive, Wei Yue was known for her tough tactics despite her good looks.
From Sister Yun's understanding, Wei Yue wouldn't be polite to a pretty boy like Gao Xuan.
Wei Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, "Gao Xuan saved Zhenzhen and Xu Yin. The problem between him and Zhenzhen isn't a problem at all. As for Zhenzhen, it's high time she learned the hard truths of society to understand things better. We actually owe Gao Xuan a thank you for this."
She added with some amusement, "Being so blatantly honest about being a scoundrel is quite cute. Give him an extra hundred thousand; consider it an overnight fee."
As she said this, Wei Yue laughed even more joyfully.
Sister Yun didn't quite understand what was so funny, but with the boss's instructions, she had to execute them exactly as ordered.
Two minutes later, Gao Xuan received a transfer: 131,245 credit points.
The hundred thousand transfer even had a note: Overnight fee.
Gao Xuan stared at the statement for a few seconds, and he couldn't help but tell Yun Qingshang, "I received a hundred thousand for an overnight fee. I feel somewhat insulted."
Lying quietly in the pool, Yun Qingshang floated on the water's surface. After a while, she asked, "What's the problem?"
"Am I only worth a hundred thousand!"
Gao Xuan was quite displeased, "With my looks, my dynamic electric hips, my skills, a hundred thousand doesn't match my value at all!"
Yun Qingshang closed her eyes, unwilling to talk to Gao Xuan any further.
Gao Xuan began to get cocky again, "See that, making money is easy. I should go find a few more wealthy women, and we wouldn't need to make money by killing anymore."
Joking aside, Gao Xuan felt a bit strange; he wasn't this money-grubbing before.
Could this be the negative effect of the Celestial Dragon Eye—'Greed' already starting to influence him.
The Celestial Dragon Eye was very powerful, with quite a few negative effects, each more bizarre than the other.
The 'Greed' negative effect makes people particularly greedy for money and especially fond of gold, silver, and other valuable items...
Gao Xuan sighed inwardly; a man as elegant as himself shouldn't be like this...
Luckily, these were controllable and wouldn't drive him as mad as the negative effects of the Godslaying Sword.
Gao Xuan opened the website to check Yuanlong Company's information.
"I've discovered that Wei Zhenzhen's mom is also very beautiful. Such mature charm, and so generous..."
Gao Xuan was speaking when he suddenly felt something was off, he lifted his clothes, blocking all the water Yun Qingshang splashed at him.
"Why are you so excited, I'm just saying. I'm a person with a bottom line. I wouldn't do something so tasteless."
While Gao Xuan was still explaining, Yun Qingshang had already donned a towel and returned to her room.
To be honest, Yun Qingshang didn't quite believe that Gao Xuan had a bottom line.
Gao Xuan himself wasn't very convinced, but he felt he still had one.
Anyway, with this overnight fee, life could be a lot more relaxed. Plus, Wei Yue was clear in her intention when giving the money; she recognized their relationship as purely for fun. This was a good thing.
In his past life, Gao Xuan had dealt with Wei Yue and understood this woman fairly well, knowing she was tough but always acted in an upright manner. She was one of those rare righteous figures among businessmen, with principles and a sense of a bigger picture.
Such a person is naturally reasonable and cares about image. They wouldn't turn hostile over a small matter.
However, he wouldn't take this money for nothing. In the future, he could return a big favor to Wei Yue!
Anyway, despite Wei Zhenzhen's pampered and self-centered personality, her young and beautiful body was truly marvelous.
The agitation brought on by the negative effects of the Celestial Dragon Eye had already disappeared, Gao Xuan now felt refreshed, and in perfect condition; he also had the time to research the Celestial Dragon Eye.
Gao Xuan took off his shirt, put on a pair of shorts, and jumped into the swimming pool.
The afternoon sun was bright, rippling along with the water waves. Gao Xuan floated quietly in the water, ceasing all breathing.
The Celestial Dragon Eye could spontaneously convert Source Power into breaths. Moreover, this process of converting Source Power was extremely elusive; even with the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, Gao Xuan couldn't detect the fluctuations of Source Power absorption and operation by the Celestial Dragon Eye.
The Celestial Dragon Eye is like a special respiratory organ for him, capable of replacing his original respiratory system, perfectly substituting oxygen with Source Power.
In this state, Gao Xuan could clearly feel his physical condition improving, with significant enhancements in Power, agility, spirit, and constitution.
The Celestial Dragon Eye truly is a good thing, just breathing Source Power rid oneself of the limitations of a frail body. It can also increase the efficiency of Breathing Source Power.
Gao Xuan estimated that in the state of Source Breath, the efficiency of absorbing Source Power increased by 20%.
Not to mention in battles, even for cultivation, the efficiency would increase by 20%.
One must know how to effectively breathe, convert, and release Source Power, which has always been the core of all Source Guiding Techniques.
However, Source Guiding Techniques themselves are very complex and difficult to integrate with other changes in Source Power.
Source Breath doesn't have this issue and can be nearly perfectly compatible with Gao Xuan's main cultivation of the Aurora Swordsmanship.
Aurora Swordsmanship is known for its speed and transformations. Originally, it was the unique secret technique of the Light Race's Six-winged King. It also took Gao Xuan an unknown amount of effort to obtain the Aurora Swordsmanship.
This swordsmanship is the secret technique of the Light Race, originally not suitable for human cultivation. Only Gao Xuan's Divine Soul merged with the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, allowing certain traits to match exceptionally well with the Aurora Swordsmanship.
Having obtained it, Gao Xuan also pondered it for decades before finding a path that suited him.
However, he took many wrong turns early on, and many mistakes couldn't be corrected. This had always prevented Gao Xuan from entering the Divine Level beyond gold.
Being reborn, Gao Xuan can choose the most correct path for cultivation, aiming directly for the Divine Level. The strong auxiliary effect of the Celestial Dragon Eye further enhances his chances of success.
The functionality of the Celestial Dragon Eye is comprehensive and powerful, its practicality far exceeds that of the Godslaying Sword.
However, the upgrade conditions for the Celestial Dragon Eye are rather stringent.
The Celestial Dragon Eye is a Golden Marvel, but it is now just a seed, only at the Black Iron Level.
Similarly, the Godslaying Sword is also at the Black Iron Energy Level.
Yet both Marvels are essentially at the Golden Level, although their actual power energy levels are only at the Black Iron Level, they possess the priority of Golden Level laws.
Just like the Godslaying Sword, even if a Golden Powerhouse is cut and bleeds by it, they would surely die. The priority of the law is higher.
The problem is, at the current level of the Godslaying Sword, even if a Golden Powerhouse stood still, the Godslaying Sword might not pierce the protector of the Golden Powerhouse.
Thus, both the Godslaying Sword and the Celestial Dragon Eye need special means for an upgrade.
There's a rather ingenious way, which is to completely integrate the two Marvels with oneself.
As long as Gao Xuan increases his power level, both Marvels could also advance.
But since Gao Xuan had fused with the Six-winged Celestial Cicada Divine Soul from a young age, absorbing the Celestial Dragon Eye and Godslaying Sword is not so easy.
Gao Xuan doesn't think it's troublesome, having been reborn, he already has the upper hand. Furthermore, he smoothly acquired two powerful Golden Marvels, making this beginning nothing short of perfect.
Gao Xuan settled down to experience the various changes of the Celestial Dragon Eye.
One day, two days, Gao Xuan was immersed in the pool the entire time, not coming out.
Yun Qingshang was a bit worried, thinking something might've happened to Gao Xuan. But after observing several times, she found Gao Xuan in excellent condition, so she didn't mind.
On the third day, Yun Qingshang was quietly practicing Source Breath, when a series of intense knocking sounds came from the door.
Upon checking the video, she saw Wei Zhenzhen leading a group of young men and women, knocking at the door.
The group was aggressive, looking like they came to settle accounts with Gao Xuan!
