I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

The spar between Han Zhan and Wei Qing has come to an end.

The result of this spar was a joyous occasion for all.

Han Zhan displayed his skills in front of the citizens of Great Xia,

while Wei Qing gained a deeper understanding of the Demon God’s Heart under that one sword strike,

and the Great Xia Spirit Contract Masters who traveled on the Star Iron Express to Jubei City to watch the martial arts contest were all treated to a memorable battle.

Especially Han Zhan’s almost invincible demeanor, which will likely serve as an inspiration and motivation for them to keep moving forward for a long time.

By this time, Han Zhan and Gongyang Jin had already quietly left the field, stealthily vanishing.

”So, tell me, what brings you to me? You’re quite busy now, no one climbs the three treasure halls for nothing,”

Gongyang Jin asked as they walked along the road.

Han Zhan smiled and gently pulled her hand, ”What, I can’t look for you without a reason? I finally got a few days off and thought to invite you for dinner tonight.”

”Sure! You’ve just been back for a day, and you’re already complaining about the food at home, right? I’m going to tell Youwei and them what you said!”

Gongyang Jin said, feigning chaos.

Despite her words, she accepted Han Zhan’s invitation and continued to ask, ”What do you plan to eat?”

”You know me, how about hot pot?”

Unexpectedly, Gongyang Jin shook her head, ”No hot pot today. I heard Eater Fan Chaohui is hosting a food challenge competition in Jubei City. With your status, it shouldn’t be too much to act as a judge to snag some tasty morsels, right?”

”Moreover, as far as I know, Youwei and Xiao Zao are already ahead at the competition site as contestants.”

This matter was something Han Zhan heard Lingzhen mention just before he left.

He hadn’t anticipated so many reasons behind it.

Upon hearing about the food competition, Han Zhan suddenly became interested, ”Then it’s settled, we’ll all go tonight, the more, the merrier! Where are we heading next?”

Having been away for a while, Han Zhan was not as familiar with the roads of Jubei City anymore.

With a ready guide by his side, he was naturally happy to take it easy.

Gongyang Jin understood his intent and gave Han Zhan a gentle side-eye with her beautiful eyes.

”Lingzhen is at home rushing to write, let’s not disturb her. She’ll join us when it’s time for dinner.”

”The nearest spot from here is the Jubei City Commercial Center, where Nuannuan and Lingling are. Let’s meet them there first.”

The commercial center of Jubei City is located in the heart of the city.

It’s an area bustling with activity, flourishing like a metropolis.

The shops along the roadsides sell everything imaginable, an array of choices.

Han Zhan noticed that Gongyang Jin wasn’t searching around aimlessly but instead was headed directly toward a specific area of the commercial center as if she knew the destination.

Seeing this, he asked somewhat surprised, ”What’s this? Did you activate position sharing on your Celestial Net Chip?”

Upon hearing Han Zhan’s question, Gongyang Jin displayed a mysterious smile on her face:

”You wouldn’t know this, but during your time on other planets, Nuannuan and Lingling opened a clothing store right here in this commercial center.”

A clothing store?

When Han Zhan heard this term, he froze for a moment.

Gongyang Jin’s voice continued in his ear: ”Lingling is already a Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouse. Without the right method, further cultivation won’t allow her to break through to become a deity.”

”We’ve all agreed that as Divine Soldiers, the key to our breakthrough to becoming deities might lie with you.”

”As for Nuannuan, she too has broken through to Tier Nine Ultimate, becoming the second Tier Nine Ultimate among us.”

Nuannuan breaking into Tier Nine Ultimate wasn’t something Han Zhan expected, yet it also felt reasonable.

Nuannuan and Jiang Lingling are much older compared to others.

With a deeper foundation and long years of practice, they should be among the first to break through.

It indeed seems to be the case.

Yet, ”Why does it have to be a clothing store?” Han Zhan asked rather puzzled.

To this question, Gongyang Jin’s answer was:

”Opening a clothing store was Lingzhen’s ardent suggestion. In her words, with such fierce competition in every industry now, if the clothes we design don’t sell, we can always be our own customers and not lose too much money.”

”Be our own customers?”

Three question marks popped up in Han Zhan’s mind.

He hadn’t quite understood what being one’s own customer meant when they arrived at the entrance of a clothing store.

The clothing store appeared to be bustling with business.

When he saw the clothes on display inside and the alluring outfits worn by the mannequins, Han Zhan suddenly realized.

This wasn’t just any clothing store; it was like a grand cosplay costume showcase scene, and a rather R18-rated one at that!

After seeing it, Han Zhan was left speechless.

Who came up with this idea? Oh, it was Lingzhen, so that’s not surprising.

”If we’re being our own customers, it doesn’t seem entirely unacceptable.”

Just as Han Zhan finished speaking, Nuannuan and Jiang Lingling’s figures appeared not far away.

When they saw Han Zhan and Gongyang Jin, they eagerly dashed over, each grabbing one of Han Zhan’s arms.

”How come you’re visiting us?”

”Hmm?”

This time, before Han Zhan could speak, Gongyang Jin explained the latter part for him.

Upon hearing about going to the food competition to grab free food, both Nuannuan and Jiang Lingling’s eyes lit up, wholeheartedly agreeing.

The four decided to leave immediately.

The clothing store had intelligent mechanisms keeping watch, so there was likely nothing to worry about.

Just as they were about to leave the store, two young voices in dispute outside drew their attention.

There were two children who looked no older than eight or nine years old.

One had a human appearance, while the other had sky-blue skin, still largely resembling humans, presumably a humanoid race.

Children from different species, what could they be arguing about?

This piqued Han Zhan’s curiosity.

So he went over and listened carefully.

”You’re talking nonsense! Humans are the supreme species! Among all humans, the greatest is our leader, Lord Han Zhan! That’s what my mom told me!”

The one speaking was the human child.

He spoke with pride, confidence plastered on his face.

The other sky-blue-skinned humanoid child shook their head with a hint of premature wisdom:

”That’s not how it is. In any star domain, humans are the lowest category of species. Alien species don’t even respect human species, they target and reject them.”

”Moreover, geniuses among alien species are much more powerful than those among human species, and that’s an undisputed fact.”

”You’re full of it! If you keep slandering humans, I’ll hit you! You alien!”

The Great Xia child said angrily.

At this moment, a service robot car flashed its lights as it approached from afar.

It held a tray in its hands with two servings of strawberry ice cream sundaes.

”Honored guests, hello. These desserts have been sent over for you to enjoy on behalf of a customer over there.”

The two little boys looked at each other upon hearing it.

Ultimately, for the sake of dessert, they ceased their argument.

As they indulged heartily in their strawberry ice cream sundaes and looked into the distance.

There were no longer any other people in sight.
