"Time to deal with the Ultimate Collector."
After watching Wu Tu leave, Zhou Zhou activated the trade with Alexander.
[The Ultimate Collector: Alright, what do you have for me?]
Bringing out the loot he got from the monster ranches, the time ruin and the foreign races in Fish Spring Town, Zhou Zhou also added the leftover items worth 2 Extraordinary-tier items.
A couple of seconds later, the Ultimate Collector gave his appraisal.
[The Ultimate Collector: The highest tier of item you can trade for is an Extraordinary-tier item]
[The Ultimate Collector: You can only trade for 2 Extraordinary-tier item and 6 Diamond-tier items]
[The Ultimate Collector: With 8 trades a day to your name, all your items can be traded]
"It's within the range of my calculation."
Zhou Zhou muttered before requesting what he wanted in exchange for his goods.
1 Extraordinary-tier laser cannon, 1 Extraordinary-tier void mask, 3 Diamond-tier giant potion, and 3 Diamond-tier armors.
[The Ultimate Collector: Your trade is successful. Your items have been deposited into your spatial ring.]
"Thank you."
Zhou Zhou said to the Ultimate Collector.
[The Ultimate Collector: You're welcome]
"He really had the void mask."
"I wonder how powerful the Ultimate Collector is."
Zhou Zhou muttered as he began checking out his items.
He began with the Extraordinary-tier laser cannon.

...
"They are all incredibly powerful!"
Having read through the information on the items, Zhou Zhou exclaimed.
"Huang Sai and Sun Can would be able to cause more harm while shooting giant arrows at the enemies."
Standing up from his couch, he was about to head to bed when a knock sounded on his door.
'I wonder who that is.'
"Come in!"
He invited the one knocking inside.
Opening the door and stepping inside, Bao Xiu'er greeted with a bow.
"My lord."
"Bao Xiu'er, I wasn't expecting you."
"Have a seat."
Zhou Zhou said to the lady as he gestured to one of his couch.
"Thank you, my lord."
Bao Xiu'er said as she took her seat.
"So, why are you here?"
Zhou Zhou asked.
"Well, we... We haven't seen each other ever since that night."
Bao Xiu'er could barely speak audibly as she stared at her feet while also taking glances at Zhou Zhou.
"That... I guess we've been so busy since then."
Zhou Zhou said as memories of that night played out in his mind.
"Right! I brought a present."
Taking out a blue leather jacket and a white jean from her spatial ring, Bao Xiu'er presented it to her lord.
First looking at the blue leather jacket resting on the arm of his couch behind him, Zhou Zhou smiled as he received Bao Xiu'er's gifts.
"Thank you, Bao Xiu'er."
He said to the Green bronze-tier tailor.
"It's my pleasure, my lord."
Bao Xiu'er responded excitedly.
"How was your day?"
Logging into the world channel and acquiring a bottle of wine and 2 cups from the lord market, Zhou Zhou placed them on his table as he asked.
"It was very fine, my lord."
"I was able to speak to my master and get to know how she's doing."
"I also got your present from..."
"My lord, please d..."
Seeing her lord pouring a drink for her, Bao Xiu'er quickly tried to stop him but he interrupted her.
"It's okay."
"You aren't here for official duty... Or are you?"
Zhou Zhou said as he filled Bao Xiu'er's cup before filling his.
"Thank you, my lord."
Bao Xiu'er smiled as she picked up her wine.
"For a successful day!"
Zhou Zhou said as he raised a toast.
"For a successful day!"
Bao Xiu'er responded before clinking her wine cup at Zhou Zhou's.
"It's amazing!"
She exclaimed after taking a sip of her wine.
"It's a recipe from my planet."
"A favorite of the elites."
Zhou Zhou revealed to Bao Xiu'er.
"It must be expensive, then."
Bao Xiu'er felt worried.
"Maybe for others, but not for me."
Zhou Zhou said before taking another sip of his wine.
Bringing down his cup, he said.
"From the way you spoke about your master, you seem to have a deeper connection to her than just a master-disciple relationship."
"How did that come about?"
Keeping her wine on the table, Bao Xiu'er thought for a while before speaking.
"A year after I joined my master as a disciple, I lost my parents to a plague."
"My grandma wanted to take me in, but master saw the difficult situation she was in and decided to raise me."
"For 11 years, she took the role of a mother in my life and gave me everything I ever asked for."
"She made me who I am today without expecting nothing but my success in return."
"She's the best thing that ever happened to me after the departure of my parents."
"I'm sorry for your loss."
Zhou Zhou held Bao Xiu'er's hand as he said to her.
Shocked at Zhou Zhou's action, Bao Xiu'er quickly sobered up as she tightened her hold on his hand.
"Thank you for your care, my lord."
She said with a smile.
Keeping his wine on the table, Zhou Zhou softly removed the strand of hair on Bao Xiu'er's face.
"You're beautiful."
He whispered while his finger traced around the curve of Bao Xiu'er's face.
Bao Xiu'er was breathless as her body reacted to Zhou Zhou's touch by heating up.
Pushing his body forward, Zhou Zhou took her lips to his.
That single action ignited the love and lust in the air.
...
The next day (10)
Waking up to Bao Xiu'er putting on her clothes, Zhou Zhou just stared as he took in every beautiful thing about her.
"Sorry for waking you up, my lord."
Bao Xiu'er quickly apologized after seeing Zhou Zhou's eyes.
"Then, how about making it up to me tonight."
Craving for another blossoming night, Zhou Zhou said with a smile.
"It's my pleasure."
Bao Xiu'er blushed as she looked away from Zhou Zhou.
Watching Bao Xiu'er finish dressing before leaving his mansion, Zhou Zhou jumped into the world channel.
[Dragon Lady: From today henceforth, the Dragon Blood Alliance shall ally with the Heavenly Dao Alliance in both times of peace and war! img. 1.1]
Seeing the message being replied to by millions of lords, he sat up after opening the attached image.
"Dragon Lady has been chosen by a God."
"Mystic Heaven really kept his words."
"More lords would definitely join his Heavenly Dao Alliance."
Climbing down from his bed, he moved towards his bathroom to freshen up.
"Today, I will see the decision of the Gods."
He muttered on his way.
