How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!
Chapter 640: 0635: A Clown

Chapter 640: Chapter 0635: A Clown

Chen Yu waited for a while in the Artifact Refining room and then heard a series of footsteps approaching.

Following that, led by Master Tong, an elderly man in a gray robe and several youngsters walked in.

“You Clan!”

When Yang Yuhuan saw the emblem on the clothes of the youngsters, her expression changed drastically, and she became visibly uncomfortable.

The Yang Family had barely reached the status of a two-star clan and was only a thousand years old. Now, in the face of disaster, only about two hundred clan members were left.

But the You Clan had once given birth to a king of the Condensed Star Realm, with an incredibly powerful and expansive lineage, presumably existing for about five thousand years.

The gap between the two clans was like that between heaven and earth.

And now, these youngsters were all top talents of the You Clan; among them, You Lie, who led them, had a significant reputation. He was considered the peak prodigy of the You Clan, with a natural talent far surpassing that of Yan Hanshan.

“Are you the one who owns the Golden Winged Phoenix and Yin Ming Bird feathers?”

You Lie’s gaze landed on Chen Yu, his tone proud and indifferent.

“Yes!”

Chen Yu frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss, yet he still straightforwardly admitted.

Then he looked toward Master Tong, with an inquiring expression.

However, Master Tong immediately dodged his gaze, not meeting Chen Yu’s eyes, whilst mentally thinking, “Kid, don’t look at me; I really have no say here.”

“You’re lucky, young master has taken a liking to your two materials. Sell them to me, and I will definitely satisfy you with the price.”

You Lie confidently said.

“I’m not selling, I need these materials.”

Chen Yu immediately refused.

Across from him, the faces of several You Clan youths went blank, all looking at Chen Yu simultaneously, then slightly shaking their heads with a smirk.

“Do you not know who I am? I am a You!”

You Lie’s expression also changed slightly, then he said with a smile.

Sometimes he encountered some short-sighted people, but once these people realized his surname, their attitudes drastically changed, as if awakening from a dream.

“Your surname has nothing to do with whether I sell you the items!”

Chen Yu felt displeased inwardly.

This talent from a king’s clan was far too arrogant and self-absorbed, flaunting his surname as if it were something to boast about.

“Oh?”

This response piqued You Lie’s interest, and he scrutinized Chen Yu more carefully.

It was rare for someone in the Late Guiyuan Realm to speak to him like this. Could it be that this man was also a prodigy from some major clan?

However, after observing for a long time, You Lie couldn’t discern anything significant, and the people behind him also shook their heads slightly.

“So, what will it take for you to sell these two materials to me?”

You Lie asked a bit more formally.

“Not selling.”

Chen Yu was somewhat speechless. Could these geniuses not understand plain language? He had already said he wouldn’t sell.

“Do you know what the consequences of offending me are?”

You Lie narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone threatening, and his gaze sharp.

Beside him, Yang Yuhuan shuddered at this display.

Though You Lie himself didn’t possess an overwhelming aura, as a member of the You Clan, he seemed to emit an intangible oppressiveness that was disturbing.

Just then.

A crisp and playful voice with a hint of amusement came from outside: “The grand talent of the You Clan resorting to bully trading. Isn’t that just inviting ridicule if it gets out?”

The next moment, a lovely woman dressed in silver-white attire walked in, followed by several young men and women, all displaying extraordinary demeanors.

Noticing these newcomers, Master Tong and Master Song briefly changed their expressions.

“Cui Yan’er, what are you doing here?”

You Lie’s eyebrows twitched, then he barked out.

“Just because Young Master You of the You Clan is here, doesn’t mean people from the Cui Clan can’t come to negotiate business, does it?”

The beautiful Cui Yan’er let out a bell-like laughter.

“Cui Yan’er, Cui Clan!”

Yang Yuhuan gasped.

“Brother Chen, this lady is from the Cui Clan, another king’s clan!”

Yang Yuhuan whispered to Chen Yu.

Another king’s clan?

Are there so many king’s clans in the Great Yu Realm? Chen Yu wondered.

Actually not.

Had it not been for two major three-and-a-half-star powers recruiting disciples at the same time, ordinary people would hardly ever encounter any trace of the king’s clans.

“This is your business, but now I am conducting business, so please leave.”

You Lie coldly shouted.

“That’s not necessarily the case. What if this young brother here is willing to sell his items to me?”

Cui Yan’er mocked coldly.

Then she looked directly at Chen Yu, “You might not be aware, but You Lie here is very overbearing and unreasonable. Those who offend him usually don’t end well.”

“How about selling the items You Lie is interested in to me instead? My offer will be absolutely fair, and I, Cui Yan’er, guarantee that You Lie won’t be able to touch you!”

Cui Yan’er confidently said, her words carrying an air of domineering authority.

From this, it was clear that Cui Yan’er didn’t even know what objects You Lie was interested in from Chen Yu’s possession; she just intended to buy them to thwart You Lie’s wishes. It seemed that there was no small enmity between them.

“Sorry, my materials are not for sale to You Lie, nor to you, miss!”

Chen Yu seriously refused, then looked toward Master Song: “Does the Treasure Refining Hall still do business here?”

He had come here to engage in Artifact Refining, only to be unwittingly drawn into a dispute between two geniuses of major king clans. And throughout, no one from the Treasure Refining Hall had spoken up, which had made him somewhat dissatisfied.

However, on the other hand, that both major king clans came to the Treasure Refining Hall indicated that the skills of the artifact refiners here were indeed commendable.

Seeing Chen Yu hadn’t sold to Cui Yan’er, You Lie felt a bit better and then glanced at Master Song.

“Perhaps you should sell your materials to Young Master You, sir. I can personally help you craft a unique flying treasure. The materials will definitely be top-notch, and I’ll give you a 20 percent discount!”

Master Song gave a wry smile, speaking with a tone of caution.

If it weren’t for the fact that he owed the You Clan a favor, Master Song wouldn’t have done such a thing, but he also believed that Chen Yu selling materials to the You Clan in exchange for a favor was the right choice.

Chen Yu had come here surely to take part in the assessment, just as the geniuses from the You Clan and Cui Clan had.

Even if Chen Yu passed the assessment, he might likely become fellow disciples with these two geniuses in the future, and offending them would probably not end well.

“Since the Treasure Refining Hall isn’t refining, then I’ll find another place.”

After hearing this, Chen Yu turned and left.

He didn’t want to provoke the two major king clans, but Chen Yu also urgently needed this flying artifact, particularly the Golden Winged Phoenix’s wings, which could synergize with the Golden Winged Phoenix bloodline in his body to unleash greater power.

“This kid… have someone follow him. I want to see where he can go to refine artifacts!”

You Lie said coldly.

He had never failed in a business deal before.

“Yes!” a long-faced man beside him responded.

He knew what to do without needing further explanation from You Lie.

No matter which store took Chen Yu’s business, he only needed to sabotage it. The You surname still held some deterrent power, especially when used by the capricious genius You Lie of the You Family; people generally wouldn’t dare to offend him.

“Interesting!”

Cui Yan’er, who was nearby, watched Chen Yu leave and her lips curved into a smile.

Originally, she had just come to disrupt You Lie’s affairs.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yu was so tough, not giving in to anyone.

“Find out more about this person for me.”

Cui Yan’er approached a woman next to her and whispered into her ear.

Cui Yan’er wanted to know who Chen Yu really was, as generally, people wouldn’t dare to act like him.

…

“Phew!”

Once they left the Treasure Refining Hall, Yang Yuhuan let out a long sigh.

The atmosphere in the hall just now was truly terrifying.

Chen Yu had actually confronted the geniuses of the two major king clans head-on.

However, she started to worry again, as Chen Yu seemed to have offended You Lie.

“Let’s check out other stores,” Chen Yu said calmly.

King clans were indeed formidable, but they shouldn’t, over such a small matter, use powerful cultivators against Chen Yu.

Moreover, Black Demon Valley was a sect force even more fearsome than the king clans. As long as Chen Yu entered it, he could receive a certain degree of protection. If he was taken as a disciple by an elder, even the king clans would not dare to openly move against Chen Yu.

…

Three days later.

“I’m sorry, our shop cannot meet your requirements.”

An Artifact Refiner returned Chen Yu’s materials.

This was already the third time.

It was obvious someone was interfering!

“How despicable, these king clans are really bullying people.”

Yang Yuhuan was also very angry, her eyes wide.

“Keep looking, if all else fails, we’ll think of a way after entering Black Demon Valley!”

Chen Yu was also displeased.

A king clan alone should not have the influence to affect the entire Cultivation Spirit Hall. Some shops here might share the same background and could afford not to give face to the You Clan.

“Hey, this clown is really cute!”

Yang Yuhuan was suddenly attracted by a small clown, “What shop is this that they place a clown puppet at the entrance?”

She was about to reach out and touch the clown.

But suddenly, the clown moved and grinned, “Do the two of you need any spiritual artifacts refined? Our shop can provide that service.”

Yang Yuhuan abruptly stepped back, her heart pounding with fright.

It turned out this wasn’t a clown puppet, but a person!

This person wore a clown nose and a large hat, his face painted in assorted colors.

At this moment, the clown sported a very exaggerated smile, looking somewhat sinister and scary.

Chen Yu looked over, having not noticed earlier that there was a person here.

“Can you refine artifacts here?” Chen Yu asked.

“Indeed.” The clown maintained a somewhat sinister smile.

“Brother Chen, this shop is too small, and it’s a mess inside. Let’s go look elsewhere…”

Yang Yuhuan glanced inside the shop.

It really was in a chaotic mess with a bunch of junk cluttered around and dim lighting. Additionally, the presence of the clown at the entrance gave off a strange vibe.

However, the main reason was that the clown had just scared Yang Yuhuan.

“You’re doubting my skills. Not to boast, but there are few in the entire Cultivation Spirit Hall with refining abilities superior to mine,”

the clown confidently stated.

At that moment, Chen Yu’s mysterious heart rate changed as if there was something inside the hall attracting it.

“It seems this shop isn’t simple!”

Chen Yu thought inwardly.

This clown was also very peculiar; initially, Chen Yu hadn’t carefully observed to notice there was a person next to him.

“How should I address you, master?”

Chen Yu asked, walking inside to take a closer look.

The hall’s contents were chaotic and included many odd-looking objects that Chen Yu had never seen before. In a corner, Chen Yu also spotted several wooden puppet automatons.

“You can call me the Handsome Brother Dong!”

The clown answered.

“…”

Chen Yu felt he couldn’t in good conscience say such a thing.
