Chapter 2738

"The items on the third floor are quite rare. Usually, they are good treasures my brothers and I brought back from secret realms. Since we cannot use them ourselves, we store them here for sale." Hearing this, it was clear that Cloud Emperor also held shares in this establishment.

Yan Aohan spoke up, "Then we, as a couple, must take a good look around. After all, it was recommended by Cloud Emperor. If the items here are not good, it would tarnish your reputation."

Cloud Emperor was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled. "Feel free to look and choose. If you pick something, I’ll give you a thirty percent discount."

"Since we are acquaintances, you should at least give us a fifty percent discount and throw in some gifts. That would be more appropriate," Zhu Yanyi said, showing her thick skin.

Cloud Emperor looked at Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi with a mix of amusement and helplessness. "You two are not short of money. Why do you need to bargain with me like this?"

"Although we have money, having money doesn't mean we must spend it. We are a family, so we must learn to save," Yan Aohan said seriously.

Cloud Emperor replied, "If I really gave you a fifty percent discount and added gifts, I would lose money."

"People in business always like to exaggerate such outcomes," Zhu Yanyi said, not believing her. However, her eyes began to focus on the items around her.

It had to be said that items from the Divine Realm were indeed unique. Many of them looked ordinary, but a faint divine aura revealed their rarity.

As Zhu Yanyi looked around, she spotted a transparent scarf. "Husband, look at this scarf."

Yan Aohan glanced at it and smiled lightly. "It is silk spun by a ten-thousand-year ice silkworm, and it carries wood attributes. It suits you well. Let’s buy it."

"Then we’ll take this scarf," Zhu Yanyi said to Cloud Emperor.

Cloud Emperor waved her hand, signaling a staff member nearby to handle the procedures. With Yan Aohan present, Zhu Yanyi did not need to pay.

Cloud Emperor handed over the scarf. Zhu Yanyi pricked her finger to drop a drop of blood onto it. The scarf automatically draped itself over her shoulders. It was not very long, but it had a unique charm.

"This scarf is quite nice. The length is just right," Yan Aohan said as she approached. Zhu Yanyi showed it off and told her.

Yan Aohan looked her up and down, then nodded. "It is just right. You never liked those messy, dragging long things. This is good."

"Cloud Emperor, you are here too!" A group of men and women came up the stairs to the third floor. They clearly knew Cloud Emperor.

Cloud Emperor saw the man and nodded slightly. "It is you, Phoenix God."

She then introduced them to Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi. "This is Phoenix God from the Yuan Yuan Universe and her sister." She then turned to Phoenix God. "This is Yan Emperor and Yan Empress from the Supreme Universe."

Phoenix God looked Yan Aohan over and nodded slightly, showing a hint of pride. Seeing this arrogance, Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. She only said to Cloud Emperor, "Since Cloud Emperor has met friends, we will leave first."

Other people’s arrogance had nothing to do with them. Since the other party did not wish to approach, they did not need to offer warmth to a cold shoulder.

Cloud Emperor understood Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan’s meaning immediately. To be honest, she was not fond of Phoenix God either. Although Phoenix God was a man, her every move carried a feminine air, even more so than her sister. "Yan Emperor and Yan Empress, you are too polite. You were assigned by Hua Emperor for me to receive specifically. How could I let you leave first? Let us go together."

Then Cloud Emperor said to Phoenix God, "Sorry, Phoenix God. Please browse at your leisure. I must take my leave."

Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi could clearly see that Cloud Emperor was using them as a shield. However, neither said anything. Since Cloud Emperor spoke this way, she likely had no good feelings for Phoenix God either, otherwise she would not use them as an excuse to leave.

Phoenix God seemed surprised that Cloud Emperor would say such things. Perhaps feeling embarrassed by Cloud Emperor’s lack of romantic interest, he only said, "In that case, you may go first."

With that, Cloud Emperor smiled and left the Treasure Pavilion with Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi.

As soon as they stepped out, Cloud Emperor sighed. "This Phoenix God. I never expected the Yuan Yuan Universe to send him this time."

Zhu Yanyi looked at Cloud Emperor curiously and asked, "Judging by your expression, Cloud Emperor, you seem afraid of this Phoenix God."

After all, Phoenix God was not yet an Emperor Venerable. Zhu Yanyi could not imagine why Cloud Emperor would fear her.

"It is not fear. It is that when I meet him, I get goosebumps all over," Cloud Emperor sighed deeply again and continued, "Haven’t you noticed? This Phoenix God is truly different from normal gods."

Zhu Yanyi glanced at her. "That is not strange. At most, that Phoenix God is 'crooked'."

"Crooked? What do you mean by crooked? Phoenix God does not look crooked. He is just a bit effeminate, and his speech is unbearable," Cloud Emperor said.

Zhu Yanyi held back her laughter and did not explain. Yan Aohan, unable to bear it, said, "In terms from our world, so-called 'crooked' actually means 'Broken Back Mountain,' which refers to the issue of 'breaking sleeves.' Do you understand now? Or perhaps 'sharing peaches.' You should understand this one."

Cloud Emperor’s mouth hung open in shock as he stared at Yan Aohan for a long time before finally whispering, "You mean Phoenix God likes men?"

"You should say she likes male gods. Or more accurately, Phoenix God has set her sights on you," Zhu Yanyi said directly.

"Do not scare me," Cloud Emperor rubbed his arms, feeling the goosebumps would not go away. "I only like girls. I will marry a wife in the future."

"Yes, we all know that. But you need to make Phoenix God understand your feelings," Yan Aohan said. "This is what we just discussed. If you do not like someone, you must handle it early."

Cloud Emperor thought of the discussion about relationships she had with Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi earlier. She never expected such a problem to arise so soon, although this affection was not what she liked or needed.

"I understand. Although I think ignoring Phoenix God is enough, if I do not respond and he misunderstands, it will still create karma for me," Cloud Emperor said with a bitter smile. This was the helplessness of being a god. Some things indeed needed to be cut off early.

Yan Aohan nodded slightly. "Correct. You understand in your heart. This Phoenix God is clearly not a simple god. Of course, if he were simple, he would not have been chosen to participate in the War of Gods. So, it is better for you to handle some matters early."

However, thinking of Phoenix God’s appearance, Yan Aohan knew that dispelling this person’s intentions would require some methods.

Cloud Emperor hummed. "I will think of a way to make him give up on me."

With the reminder from Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi, Cloud Emperor naturally would not treat this matter as if nothing had happened.
