Douluo: Cutting me drops treasures; Bi Bidong got addicted

"Please don't interrupt my master when he's speaking."

Chen Bi turned directly and walked in front of Thousand Waves, staring at him intensely with bright eyes. Though just an Artifact Spirit, the aura she radiated was almost surpassing that of Thousand Waves.

Perhaps no matter what her identity was, she would never hesitate to stand up for Chen Xin.

Thousand Waves, a crafty veteran of many years, certainly wasn't one to back down. He looked at the emerald girl with equanimity, originally wanting to retort, but after glancing at Gu Rong, he retracted his intention.

After all, Chen Xin was in the same camp as Gu Rong, and Thousand Waves was going to ask a favor of Gu Rong later.

Thousand Waves said with a smile, "I think you've misunderstood. I was speaking to Gu Rong, hoping he could help identify an object."

As Chen Bi watched Thousand Waves' smiling demeanor, her emotions found no outlet, so she took a step back, bowed slightly to Thousand Waves, then returned to Chen Xin's side.

This further raised Thousand Waves' anticipation for the "Artifact Spirit" phenomenon. He had already been envious of the appearance of Sword Spirits, and now that he had a chance for a free summoning on the spot, he couldn't let it slip by.

Gu Rong: "Great Priest, what would you like me to appraise?"

At that moment, Thousand Waves revealed a sly grin which quickly vanished, as if he didn't want it to be detected by a certain presence.

"To say it's my appraisal is actually a bit of a stretch. My granddaughter Qian Renxue is a little shy to ask for help in public, so she hoped I would do her this favor, asking you to kindly appraise it for her."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue blinked in confusion. When had she ever said such things? Why was she not aware of it?

Gu Rong maintained his smile when looking at the grandfather and granddaughter, "What does the Great Priest want me to assist in appraising?"

At that moment, Chen Bi also looked on with curiosity. As an Artifact Spirit with consciousness, she knew why she appeared, understood the meaning of her existence, and more importantly, she was aware that Lin Yi was the one person at the scene whom they couldn't afford to offend.

Therefore, if anyone offended Chen Xin, she would confront them, except if Lin Yi was the one bullying Chen Xin, as Chen Bi wouldn't dare to say a word.

That was because only Lin Yi had the power to make her disappear from the world completely, separating her from Chen Xin after just being recognized.

Thousand Waves extended his hand, and with a flash of light from the Storage Device, a gold-colored long sword appeared horizontally in his palm.

The sword was fierce and domineering, with golden True fire of the sun misting around its surface. The hot breath caused ripples to undulate through the air surrounding the blade while the hilt was decorated with Angel Wings, exquisitely patterned and dazzling with golden light.

In that instant, Qian Renxue realized why her grandfather was using her as a shield—because there were other watchful eyes from the Divine Realm upon them...

Thousand Waves continued to pass the blame: "This bratty girl, she wants me to talk because she doesn't want to. I really shouldn't do this. It's utterly disrespectful to the Angel God!"

After saying this, he turned around with feigned disappointment, pulling Qian Renxue along as they emerged: "Here! You obstinate girl! This Divine Artifact is originally yours, if you have something to say, say it yourself!"

Qian Renxue, in a daze, held the considerable weight of the Divine Artifact and looked back at Thousand Waves with bewilderment, only to receive a warning glance from him. She then silently turned her head and forcefully squeezed out a smile, "Right, please appraise it..."

Chen Bi: "The girl seems reluctant, so the decision to have it appraised was likely made by her grandfather."

After she spoke, her inoffensively charming smile made Thousand Waves' face stiffen.

Chen Xin awkwardly intervened: "Sorry... My Artifact Spirit was just born and sometimes speaks without thinking. Please forgive us."

Seeing Chen Xin smooth things over, Chen Bi wisely chose to stay silent.

Actually, she recognized Thousand Waves.

Because of her father's cause of death, and coupled with Thousand Waves interrupting Chen Xin's speech just now, she has always harbored hostility toward Thousand Waves.

Chen Xin's father was likewise someone she had watched grow up from a young age. Watching Chen Xin's father die, while she was powerless within the Jade Pendant, nearly broke her heart.

"In such a situation, we must set aside all past grievances. Senior Lin Yi does not like to see infighting among us attackers."

Chen Xin reminded softly, and Chen Bi nodded, then suddenly took the initiative to grab Chen Xin's hand and spoke earnestly, "I will protect you well."

"Thank you."

Chen Xin responded with a smile.

The brief interlude came to an end. Thousand Waves watched the sky and the surroundings with a chill on his back, not knowing from which angle the Angel God was currently watching their scene.

Gu Rong raised his hand and hovered it over the Angel Holy Sword. This scene filled Qian Renxue with anticipation; both she and her grandfather possessed Angel Holy Swords, but the one her grandfather held was a reward from a loot drop, potentially a new item not meeting the conditions for birthing an Artifact Spirit.

However, hers was snatched from the hands of the Angel God, definitely an old piece; now it was just a matter of how old it was.

"This... let me take a closer look."

Gu Rong's expression became a few degrees more serious, as if appraising the age of this Divine Artifact was on a completely different difficulty level than the previous Jade Pendant.

Divine Realm.

The Sea God snuck a glance at the Angel God's expression, not daring to speak.

She had already stopped paying attention to the scene, but upon hearing that her Divine Artifact was about to birth an Artifact Spirit, the Angel God immediately came over. The expression on her face was a mix of anger and surprise, along with a little bit of anticipation.

She was looking forward to seeing if the Artifact Spirit born from the Angel Holy Sword would choose a new master...

Logically speaking, she was the master.

Gu Rong's forehead broke out in a few droplets of sweat, and then he spoke with some difficulty and self-doubt, "The age of this Divine Artifact should be... three hundred twelve million, five thousand, three—oh no, over four hundred years..."

Even the Angel God herself was surprised upon hearing this number.

3,125,400 and some years?

The Angeic Artifact was that recent??

She had been the Angel God for over a million years, and as far as she knew, the previous Angel God had also been in position for over a million years. So this meant... she was only the third Angel God?

This was something the Angel God truly did not know; the previous one was a rascal yearning for freedom, who after passing on the divine position went off to enjoy his unrestrained life, with his current state of life or death unclear.

Qian Renxue didn't even remember the string of numbers Gu Rong declared.

Unlike what the Angel God felt, she exclaimed in amazement on the spot, "It's that ancient?? Over three million years?! My goodness!"

Gu Rong frowned, "It is indeed something quite open in age, but I'm still not certain if my appraisal is correct. We have to wait and see if it can birth an Artifact Spirit to be sure."

Qian Renxue, "Then please do us the honor!"

Gu Rong raised his hand again, and the golden flame above the Angel Holy Sword expanded a bit more instantly. Qian Renxue, as the new owner, felt nothing, but Gu Rong suffered a great deal. He felt like his hand was going to be scorched.
