I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 694 - 54: Visitors from Paradise

One person, fifty years of lifespan.After quoting this price, Feng Xiaozao felt a bit guilty and didn’t dare to look up at the other party.

After all, she had worked hard for over ten years and only saved up a hundred and fifty years of lifespan.

The entry fee for Paradise added up to a hundred years of lifespan, which was truly exorbitant.

"Alright." Han Zhan nodded without any hesitation.

Han Zhan’s straightforwardness took Feng Xiaozao by surprise.

She abruptly looked up and asked warily, "You’re so straightforward, you don’t actually have any special ideas about me, do you!"

This girl has a decent personality, just a bit paranoid.

Han Zhan sighed and continued, "Fifty years of lifespan, this price is fair, we have no reason to refuse."

"Even a snail can be sold for fifty years of lifespan, the admission qualification to Pure Beauty Paradise, no matter what, wouldn’t be less than a snail."

"But you."

Han Zhan said up to here, glancing at Feng Xiaozao, "Are you sure you’re just selling fifty years of lifespan per person?"

The question was bounced back to Feng Xiaozao.

The latter, upon hearing Han Zhan’s words, hesitated, bit her lip, and after a moment, she made up her mind and said, "Fifty years of lifespan, that’s the price, it won’t change!"

"Then, let’s work well together." Han Zhan said, extending his hand.

"Work well together." Feng Xiaozao reluctantly extended her hand, gently shook hands with Han Zhan, and quickly withdrew as if struck by lightning.

"Heart rate increased, body temperature slightly elevated, muscle tension increased, skin electrical response enhanced." Shang Jianyue, observing the scene nearby, spoke mildly, making the final judgment, "She’s shy."

"I am not! I’m not! Don’t talk nonsense!"

Feng Xiaozao immediately denied it thrice.

Her cheeks slightly flushed, seeming to be spot on by Shang Jianyue.

"Alright." Han Zhan interrupted Shang Jianyue.

They were on a mission, not here for flirting.

After ending this topic, the three fell into a long silence.

It was Feng Xiaozao who spoke first: "Well... I have a errand task to do, I’ll leave first."

After speaking, she ran forward without looking back.

"She’s gone." Shang Jianyue looked at Han Zhan.

"I know." Han Zhan slightly nodded.

"Now that she’s gone, where are we going to find her tomorrow to enter the Pure Beauty Paradise together?"

"Then what are we standing around for, hurry up and catch up!"

...

In the end, the errand tasks Feng Xiaozao hadn’t finished were divided between Han Zhan and Shang Jianyue, and the three completed them together.

Han Zhan and the others even successfully stayed next to Feng Xiaozao’s residence, in the rose garden.

With Han Zhan’s Heaven’s Origin and Shang Jianyue’s Nanomites skills, they wouldn’t be sleeping on the streets.

Early the next morning, Han Zhan heard the noises coming from Feng Xiaozao’s residence and was the first to wake up.

"We are from the Paradise Management Department."

"According to Article 3240 of the Paradise Management Regulations, your father, Feng Guangsheng, was declared unable to repay the debt he owed to Paradise, and as his direct relative, you are subject to compulsory measures, temporarily stripping your personal rights as a Pure Beauty Star citizen."

"You turned eighteen today, and we will officially begin execution. Do you have anything to say before it’s carried out?"

The person responsible for reading out the ordinance was dressed in a pure white suit and trousers, wearing a bright red, rose-like bow tie.

The whole person looked pure and noble, elegant like a noble gentleman.

Behind him was a team of Law Enforcers, and an enforcement vehicle ready to temporarily detain personnel, standing by.

Although Feng Xiaozao had known for more than a decade that her father was in debt, knowing this day would come, she became flustered when she faced it for the first time.

After all, she was just an eighteen-year-old young girl.

"I want to know where my father is now." After hesitation, Feng Xiaozao asked this question.

Her mother died early, and she depended on her father, Feng Guangsheng, but since entering Paradise, she had never seen him again.

Even though Feng Guangsheng ruined her early life, Feng Xiaozao still wanted to see him, even if it’s just to curse at him and ask him why he did this.

The young man in the white suit adjusted his glasses and glanced at the notes attached to this enforcement ordinance.

"Regarding your father, Feng Guangsheng, he ended his life eight years ago, unable to bear the pressure as a Paradise "toolman."

"Paradise also revoked his personal rights, and his suicide violated the ordinance and will be punished."

"Since he is already dead, unable to repay the remaining debts and undergo punishment, this punishment will fall on you as well."

The words of the young man in the white suit hit Feng Xiaozao’s head like a sledgehammer.

Her mind buzzed, ears ringing.

Dead?

Dead!

Her father, Feng Guangsheng, the irresponsible man who harmed and dragged her down, was just dead like this?

The force that had been holding her up suddenly released, and she fell to the ground powerlessly, her eyes vacant.

At this moment, a pair of strong arms suddenly appeared, pulling up the falling Feng Xiaozao to one side.

This sudden scene alerted the Paradise Law Enforcers.

Unexpectedly, the man in the white suit waved his hand, signaling the enforcers behind him to stand down.

"And you two are...?"

"We are her friends, willing to take on the fifty years of lifespan in debt and become a "toolman" for Paradise," Han Zhan replied honestly.

The young man in the white suit showed a gentle, polite smile and said, "You’re joking, sirs."

"Both of you are Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouses, among the top existences in the entire Star Realm Star Cluster; how could you become toolmen?"

The young man in the white suit’s words left Han Zhan and Shang Jianyue in surprise, as he could immediately see their cultivation realm.

Feng Xiaozao, who was held in Han Zhan’s arms, was even more shocked.

These two strangers were Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouses?!

Tier Nine Ultimates, only heard in historical legends, rarely seen in real life?!

Feng Xiaozao realized this, and her last straw of hope was shattered, as Tier Nine Ultimates were people from another world entirely.

Sure enough, the young man in the white suit continued, "You two visiting Pure Beauty Star is an honor beyond measure. If possible, I will report upward to grant you a VIP invitation identity, allowing you to enter Pure Beauty Paradise as VIPs!"

VIP status, or toolman identity.

This choice almost needs no decision.

"How long will it take to process the VIP status?" Han Zhan asked the question that concerned him most.

"Since you are both Tier Nine Ultimates, according to the fastest processing procedures, it would take only half a month. Meanwhile, you can stay at a high-end hotel outside Pure Beauty Paradise."

Half a month was indeed an efficient process for Pure Beauty Star.

But... Han Zhan couldn’t wait that long.

With this in mind, he gave a response that startled the man in the white suit and made Feng Xiaozao’s eyes suddenly brighten:

"No need to bother, just give us two ’toolman’ identities."

"We are her friends."
