"Hard to say." Wei Zhao frowned. "I don't know much about the Golden Cicada Undergarment either. I'll ask Han Xiaohu in a bit. But for now, don't provoke him—just let Xiaoshu string him along. Everything waits until I get back."
"All right, I understand. Xiaoshu can keep stalling him for a while yet, so there's no great rush. Don't worry too much," Gu Mengyao reassured him.
"Mm, I know. I'll think of something," Wei Zhao said.
"All right then, I won't keep you. You... take care of yourself!" Gu Mengyao said.
"Heh, will do." Wei Zhao smiled and hung up. Before him, the young miss still seemed a little reserved. She cared about him more than before, true, but Wei Zhao felt something was always missing. Intimacy? That seemed to be it. Between the two of them there was a certain excessive politeness, a lack of any real intimacy.
Wei Zhao turned and left the room. At present he had two things to do: one was to trade the Turtle-Saliva Ice Crystal for the blood of the earth-element Heaven-rank spirit beast in that Heaven-rank ** practitioner's hands; the other was to find Han Xiaohu and look into the matter of the Golden Cicada Undergarment.
Arriving at the door of Han Xiaohu's room, Wei Zhao knocked.
"Boss." Han Xiaohu saw Wei Zhao through the peephole and hurriedly opened the door. He hadn't expected Wei Zhao to come looking for him so soon; in his view, Wei Zhao would first deal with Yang Qiqi, then Yu Xiaoke, and that would probably take the whole night.
Wei Zhao stepped into Han Xiaohu's room, and Han Xiaohu closed the door after him, asking, "Boss, everything on your end sorted out?"
"Heh, sorted." Wei Zhao smiled. "There's something I'd like to ask you about."
"Boss, don't say that. If there's anything, just say it—I'll tell you everything I know and hold nothing back!" Han Xiaohu said quickly.
"It's about the Golden Cicada Undergarment. You know about this thing, right?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Of course. At the Hidden Family Summit, didn't you win one, Boss?" Han Xiaohu nodded.
"I did win one, but it's a low-grade Golden Cicada Undergarment—it can only defend against attacks from ** practitioners below the Earth rank." Wei Zhao nodded and continued, "Do you know of a Golden Cicada Undergarment that can defend against attacks from ** practitioners below the Heaven rank?"
"Oh? You mean the mid-grade Golden Cicada Undergarment, Boss? The mid-grade can withstand attacks from experts below the Heaven rank!" Han Xiaohu said. "But that thing is a treasure—only those formidable artifact refiners of ancient times and Heaven-rank Golden Cicada spirit beasts could make it."
"The mid-grade Golden Cicada Undergarment..." Wei Zhao nodded. "Then I suppose there's a high-grade one too?"
"Legend says there is. Once you put it on, you're invincible beneath the Heavenly Dao. Of course, that's only legend—whether it exists at all, and who might have it, I've truly never heard." Han Xiaohu smiled wryly. "After all, this thing defies heaven itself. I imagine if such a treasure ever surfaced, it would trigger a bloody frenzy of contention!"
"Mm... that's true!" Wei Zhao too drew a sharp breath in astonishment!
