ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

Although Yun Wuji requires an enormous amount of resources, this time his objective was not them. In fact, his goal was neither to obtain the resources nor to secure an apology from both father and son to Mu Bingyun.

His only goal was simple; he wanted Mu Xuanyin to witness his actions.

Even with Mu Xuanyin's icy heart, she would likely be moved, even if just a little, wouldn't she?

From the moment Yun Wuji arrived in the Snow Song Realm, every action he took was meticulously designed to capture Mu Xuanyin's attention and spark her curiosity.

At this moment, Yun Wuji was enveloped in an enigmatic aura, one that seemed to draw women's curiosity like bees to honey.

When a woman becomes curious about a man, she is not far from falling for him.

Coupled with the "help" of the Ice Phoenix, he was certain it wouldn't take long for that to happen.

Is it manipulative? Yun Wuji doesn't think so. To him, he was simply showcasing his abilities and charm.

This also extended to Chi Wuyao to a certain extent, after all. Both of them shared the same senses, and while Chi Wuyao could influence Mu Xuanyin, Mu Xuanyin could also influence her in return.

However, compared to Mu Xuanyin, Yun Wuji remained extremely wary of Chi Wuyao. In his eyes, she was perhaps the most dangerous woman in all of the Primal Chaos.

She is cunning, insidious, and treacherous. Betraying her master who taught her, friends who trusted her, or allies who fought side by side with her is as effortless as drinking water.

Compared to her, Qianye Ying'er seemed like a harmless child.

"Cough… Right! Although in recent years the Star God Realm has been wantonly purchasing God Crystals and Profound Jades, my Golden Crow Sect still maintains decent reserves in our treasury. And if those are insufficient," Huo Rulie coughed, replying quickly, "I can request more from the other sect masters."

"Star God Realm..." Yun Wuji muttered. He naturally knew the reason.

Over the past few years, the Star God Realm had indeed been purchasing vast amounts of Profound Crystals and Jades to power their Absolute Star Soul Barrier for their 'Sacrifice Ceremony.' However, with Xisu's death and Jasmine's disappearance, they had been forced to abandon their plans.

'If that little girl hadn't run away, all of that would've been mine by now!' The thought of that stupid tsundere Star God, who had ruined his plans, made Yun Wuji grit his teeth in frustration.

If he had that amount of Crystals and Jades, why would he need to go around searching for resources?

With just one move, that little girl ruined everything!

Huo Rulie misunderstood Yun Wuji's muttering as curiosity and explained, "There are rumors that the Star God Realm was gathering a vast amount of high-level profound jades in an attempt to find an opportunity to ascend to godhood. But honestly, I think it's all nonsense."

"How could gods appear in this world?"

"...Yeah, if it were true, the other King Realms wouldn't sit idly by," Huo Ye added, sharing the same skepticism about the rumors.

"..." Yun Wuji didn't want to dwell on the topic any longer and simply said, "Then I'll be troubling you, senior." Although the Flame God Realm was weaker than the Snow Song Realm, that was solely due to the presence of Mu Xuanyin. In reality, if she were not factored in, the overall strength of the Flame God Realm far surpassed that of the Snow Song Realm.

For this reason, their treasuries also held a significantly larger quantity of resources.

"Haha, this old man will make sure to gather everything he can," Huo Rulie patted his chest and chuckled. The more he looked at Yun Wuji, the more he found him pleasing to the eye. If his son were a girl, he would have shamelessly done everything to marry her off to him.

"Ah there is another thing," Yun Wuji suddenly said, "Please keep what happened here secret, especially don't tell Mu Xuanyin or Mu Bingyun."

"..." Mu Xuanyin.

Chi Wuyao's wanton laughter echoed in her mind, "You don't need to tell her, you already showed her...hahaha~"

...

After staying in the Golden Crow Sect for a few days to wait for Huo Rulie to gather the Profound Jades, Yun Wuji left the Flame God Realm.

"This old man is indeed generous," Yun Wuji felt the storage ring in his hand and said with a wide smile on his face. "With this, I can probably reach the 12th level of the Divine Soul Realm."

It is worth mentioning that after refining the Origin Blood and Divine Soul of both the Golden Crow and the Phoenix, Yun Wuji had already reached the 11th level of the Divine Soul Realm.

The Red Sun Star Realm is a middle-tier star realm located not far from both the Flame God Realm and the Snow Song Realm.

This realm is mediocre in both power and reputation, with its realm king being only a mid-level Divine Sovereign Realm cultivator.

Despite this, many men and women are familiar with this realm, as it is home to the most developed brothels in the entire Eastern Divine Region.

It was known as the largest red-light district in the entire Eastern Divine Region—perhaps even in the whole God Realm!

Men long for this place, while women scorn it.

Yun Wuji handed the guard a single profound jade and entered the capital. He strolled leisurely, taking in his surroundings as he walked.

"Handsome little brother, come inside! We have many big sisters, young sisters, and even mothers waiting for you."

"Young master, our Fallen Maiden Pavilion welcomes you! Tonight, both Fairy Hong and Fairy Ming are performing!"

"Young Lord..."

He hadn't even traveled a few hundred meters when he saw many scantily dressed women standing on both sides of the road, soliciting clients. Some of them were even dragging drunk men into the buildings behind them.

The entire city was filled with brothels; as he walked, Yun Wuji felt his horizons broadening.

The streets were filled with drunken men, random young masters, and barely dressed women roaming around. More importantly, the number of brothels here was staggering—between each brothel and the next, there was yet another brothel.

These brothels came in all kinds of shapes and designs, offering every type of service imaginable.

"This place... truly lives up to its reputation," Yun Wuji muttered. Although he had heard about the fame of this star realm, he was still astounded by the sight before him.

Yun Wuji ignored the calls of the women and continued to explore the area for a few hours.

He naturally hadn't come here because he hadn't gotten laid in months, or because he had been curious about this place for a long time... certainly not... right?

"Young Master Han! Your divine presence brightens this humble one's place. Please, come in!" Suddenly, at this moment, Yun Wuji heard a commotion not far from him. A fat woman dressed in a tight pink robe, her fingers adorned with sparkling rings, appeared. As she walked, her 'spacious' body bounced, and when she spoke, her triple chin trembled.

At this moment, she was flatteringly bowing to a young man dressed in a luxurious purple robe adorned with intricate divine inscriptions.

The man's face was pale, his eyes sunken, and his body seemed hollowed out from excessive drinking and indulgence in women. Yet, he wore an extremely arrogant expression, holding his head so high it seemed as though he was looking down on everyone through his nostrils.

Behind him stood four men, silently guarding him.

"Who is this young man? Why would Madam Mei need to receive him so humbly?" The commotion didn't only attract Yun Wuji but also everyone on the street. A man nearby couldn't help but ask.

"Shh! Keep your voice down! That man is Young Master He, the son of He Wan, the Realm King of the Radiant Mountain Realm!"

"The Radiant Mountain Realm?! A high-rank star realm!"

"So his father is a Divine Master? No wonder Madam Mei is being so humble. If I were her, I'd be kissing his shoes!"

Many people were shocked or surprised when they heard about the man's identity, but the vast majority showed no reaction, as Young Master He was a frequent visitor to this realm. He would come here every month to indulge himself, and each time, his presence caused a commotion.

"Oh? I didn't expect to find someone suitable so quickly," Yun Wuji's eyes brightened as he overheard the people's chatter. He glanced at the arrogant young man and thought, 'Young Master He, I choose you!'
