554: Chapter 554 Karsis and Fia

The discussions spread from the Bank lobby to the streets, to the taverns, to every corner.

Similar conversations were playing out in every corner of the City of Extreme Evil.

The news seemed to have grown wings, flying across the entire City of Extreme Evil!

"Have you heard? A human named Chen Yi has inherited Chen Yu's legacy!"

"Chen Yu? The Void Emperor Chen Yu?"

"Yes! That's the one!"

"That's impossible, right? Can a legacy from tens of millions of years ago still be inherited?"

"It's absolutely true! My cousin works at the Bank and saw it with his own eyes! The balance is at least five digits!"

"Five digits? Five digits of energy purple crystal?!"

"Exactly! And City Lord Di Wushuang even came out personally to receive him!"

"My god—so where is Chen Yi now?"

"He's Cultivating in the Bank's VIP Secret Realm. Oh, right, there's a woman with him too!"

"A woman? Who is it, so lucky?"

"I heard that Chen Yi announced in public that she is his wife, and he even spent six thousand energy purple crystals to buy her three heaven soul spirit flowers!"

"Six thousand energy purple crystals? Holy crap! Even all the hundreds of girls in our brothel wouldn't sell for that much money!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of fairy-tale romance is this?"

Heavenly Venerable Mansion.

Kalsis sat in his study, having finished listening to his subordinate's report. Every single word of it!

From the commotion in the Bank lobby to City Lord Di Wushuang appearing in person!

From Chen Yi inheriting Chen Yu's legacy to that five-digit balance!

From him announcing in public that Zhao Zhao was his wife, to spending six thousand energy purple crystals to buy three heaven soul spirit flowers!

Every word was like a knife, stabbing into his heart!

Kalsis was silent for a long time.

His fingers tapped the tabletop unconsciously, making a rhythmic thumping sound.

On that handsome face, no expression could be discerned.

But deep within those eyes, tumultuous waves were surging!

Chen Yu's successor?

A human?

On what grounds?

He had been stuck at the threshold of Ancient God for a thousand years, exhausting all his efforts, and even had to accept Fiya's engagement just to exchange for the flower of origin and barely make a Breakthrough!

And this human hadn't done anything!

Just because he was Chen Yu's successor, he could sit on a five-digit fortune of energy purple crystals, richer than the entire reserve of Fiya's faction!

He could make City Lord Di Wushuang come out to receive him personally!

He could make Zhao Zhao—

Kalsis's fingers stopped abruptly, and he closed his eyes!

He knew that Zhao Zhao had always liked him; he knew that she had come to the City of Extreme Evil a thousand years ago to find him; he knew that she had heard those rumors, said nothing, and left!

He had wanted to chase after her at the time, but Fiya's people had stopped him!

He told himself it didn't matter; once he made his Breakthrough to Ancient God, once his transaction with Fiya was complete, and once he had sufficient strength, he would go find her and explain everything to her!

Zhao Zhao would understand!

She would definitely understand!

But now, she had someone else by her side!

A man richer than him!

Kalsis opened his eyes.

In them, there was unwillingness, anger, jealousy, and a deep sense of powerlessness!

But he quickly suppressed these emotions.

He took a deep breath, stood up, and walked to the window.

Outside the window was the unchanging lavender sky of the City of Extreme Evil.

"Find out! What is the background of that Chen Yi, why he was able to inherit Chen Yu's legacy, what his weaknesses are, and his purpose for coming here!"

"And how far his relationship with Zhao Zhao has actually developed!"

"Make sure to carry this out as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

The attendant withdrew.

Kalsis stood by the window, looking toward the direction of the Bank in the distance.

A cold, sinister smile gradually appeared on his handsome face.

"Zhao Zhao, you've just been deceived by him!"

"You've just never seen the world, which is why you were coaxed by a human!"

"Once I expose his true colors, you will understand who is the one truly worth waiting for!"

Starlight Pavilion.

Fiya sat before her vanity, looking at herself in the mirror.

The woman in the mirror was beautiful, with an outstanding temperament!

Her long, deep blue hair was styled into an exquisite bun, adorned with star-shaped pearl flowers.

At this moment, those eyes were slightly narrowed, looking at the communication crystal in her hand.

She had finished listening to the news.

From Zhao Zhao bringing that man into the city, to the commotion in the Bank, to City Lord Di Wushuang appearing in person, to Chen Yi inheriting Chen Yu's legacy, to him spending three heaven soul spirit flowers—she had also heard it all without missing a single word!

Buying a gift for Zhao Zhao with six thousand energy purple crystals!

Fiya put down the crystal, leaned back in her chair, and let out a long sigh!

She knew Zhao Zhao; she had known her for a long time.

Kalsis liked Zhao Zhao and once had a past with her; this was something everyone in the Starlight Pavilion knew.

But she didn't care in the slightest!

When she first approached Kalsis, it was indeed because her faction needed a pillar at the Ancient God level!

Although the Starlight Pavilion was wealthy, it lacked top-tier combat power!

Kalsis's talent was extremely powerful; as long as he was given enough resources, a Breakthrough to Ancient God was only a matter of time!

And Fiya happened to have exactly what he needed—the flower of origin!

So she took the initiative to approach him, showing favor, hinting, and seducing him!

Everything went smoothly!

Kalsis had indeed taken the bait!

He accepted the flower of origin, made his Breakthrough to Ancient God, and agreed to an alliance through marriage with the Starlight Pavilion!

Everyone thought this was a transaction!

She did it for her faction, and he did it for resources!

Each getting what they needed, fair and reasonable!

But only Fiya herself knew—things were not that simple!

She closed her eyes, and the scene from half a year ago appeared in her mind.

That day, she was Cultivating alone in the Secret Realm of the Starlight Pavilion.

A figure appeared before her without any warning.

A white-faced, black-bottomed mask, deep gray eyes, and a black robe that moved without wind!

The God Emperor—Alke!

"Are you Fiya?"

The God Emperor had descended, and Fiya was so terrified that she felt Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, kneeling on the ground and trembling.

"I... I did not know of the God Emperor's arrival, I failed to welcome you from afar..."

Alke ignored her panic.

He just looked at her indifferently, with no emotion in his eyes.

"The marriage between you and Kalsis must happen as soon as possible."

"What?"

"By marrying Kalsis, in the future, you will also be able to Breakthrough to God Emperor."

After saying this, Alke disappeared.

Just like when he arrived, without a trace.

Fiya knelt where she was, not getting up for a long time.

The God Emperor had no need to deceive a small Heavenly God like her.

Since he said that she could Breakthrough to God Emperor by marrying Kalsis, then it must be true!

Therefore, she gave the flower of origin to Kalsis!

Therefore, she urged for the wedding date to be set as soon as possible!

Therefore, she didn't care that Kalsis still had someone else in his heart!

Because what she wanted was never his love!

What she wanted was—the God Emperor's promise!

Fiya opened her eyes, looked at herself in the mirror, and quickly shook her head.

Regardless of anything, she had already come this far!

The engagement to Kalsis was the key to her Breakthrough to God Emperor!

She could not give up!

Absolutely not!

She stood up, straightened her dress, and a gentle smile once again appeared on her face.

"Someone come here!"

"Yes!"

"Go and check what the true background of Zhao Zhao and that Chen Yi is!"

"Yes!"
