The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop

Chapter 171: Chapter 44: The Prestigious Family

”Just a bunch of ants, dead and gone.” Yan Botian said indifferently.

”You really are a devil,” Yan Bin looked angrily at Yan Botian.

Yan Botian was enraged, yelling, ”Impudent!” Just as he was about to make a move, Tianmiao suddenly took out Tang Wanwan’s amulet.

Yan Botian’s attention was drawn to the amulet in Tianmiao’s hand, ignoring Yan Bin.

”So Miss Tian has already helped me get the amulet!” Yan Botian looked delightedly at the amulet in Tianmiao’s hand, his voice trembling with excitement.

Tang Wanwan looked incredulously at Tianmiao’s expressionless face.

Could it be that Sister Tian lied to her?

No, definitely impossible!

Tianmiao didn’t speak; under Yan Botian’s greedy gaze, she activated the amulet. The seal on it unraveled, and a radiant pearl appeared in Tianmiao’s palm.

”If I hadn’t taken it, by the time I seized the Qiankun Pearl, Tang Wanwan might have already been dead, right?” Tianmiao’s tone was tinged with sarcasm.

Looking into Tianmiao’s eyes shining brightly, Tang Wanwan knew that Sister Tian would never harm her! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have saved her in the first place or let Dong Xiao also come to rescue her.

At this moment, Yan Bin was also in disbelief. He suddenly remembered an old work he had seen in his family bookstore before. Back then, the content was obscure and hard to understand, and after Yan Bin finished reading, it spontaneously combusted. Yan Bin was young at the time and merely got a fright from this unusual phenomenon, soon forgetting about the book. But just now, when Yan Botian mentioned the Qiankun Pearl, the memory clearly surged to the forefront of his mind.

Long ago, the reason the Demon Clan couldn’t truly be destroyed was that their real life existed in another space in this world, and depending on this space, most of the Demon Clan could remain unharmed. In times of crisis, personnel from the Heavenly Dao Office came here and opened the Second World’s array, leading the families of this world to eliminate the Demon Clan. Afterwards, the array to open the Second World was sealed up and transformed into four Qiankun Pearls, handed over to the four major families involved in exterminating the demons to respectively manage. If the world were to be disturbed by the Demon Clan again, the four major families must join forces. The Second World isn’t solely for eliminating the Demon Clan; it is exactly inverted with this world, like your shadow, living alongside you. All this defines your fortune, though the majority of fortune existing in this world is fragile. If once disturbed by external forces, like the Demon Clan infiltrating and wildly consuming human fortune, it will lead to rapid demise and death in the real world.

Yan Botian is likely to have read this story and glimpsed into the Second World. If he were to grasp the fortune of everyone in this world, to dominate and rule, wouldn’t that be as easy as pie?

Yan Bin realized at this moment; no wonder his elders didn’t tell him about their family once having the Qiankun Pearl, because since Yan Botian’s time, it has been kept a secret, withheld by Yan Botian alone.

Yan Botian went through painstaking efforts to deceive the trust of two other families, using all means to obtain two Qiankun Pearls. When three Qiankun Pearls are together, they miraculously can prolong life. Yan Botian, already over seventy at the time, continued to live till now, advancing strategically with just the Tang Family’s final one missing.

Yan Botian’s eyes were dyed with a frenzied look. Having reached this point, no one could stop him anymore.
