c1243: 1021: Return (2)

Su Yuan toyed with the sealed holy artifact imbued with the Power of Destiny, clearly feeling the mysterious power flowing from it...

"Boss, coffee."

Ashley, dressed in a black cocktail dress, gently placed a steaming cup of coffee in front of Su Yuan.

Curiously looking at the Divine Coin in Su Yuan’s hand, Ashley also felt an astonishing power of destiny emanating from it.

Su Yuan set down the coin and took the coffee to drink.

"Is it a Jasmine Latte?" Su Yuan asked casually.

Ashley nodded and said, "Yes, I had it in a café in Capitol City before. It was quite nice, so I remembered it."

Su Yuan nodded and quickly finished his coffee.

"Indeed, it’s better than the coffee in the café."

Although learned from a shop, Ashley’s rendition surpassed the taste of an average café in both aroma and texture.

It was clear she had practiced and studied it specifically.

Ashley curved her lips into a satisfied smile upon hearing this.

"Take it away." Su Yuan placed the coffee cup on the table.

Ashley picked it up, ready to wash it.

"And this too," Su Yuan pointed to the golden coin on the table, "take this with you."

"Hmm??" Ashley was momentarily stunned, then understood Su Yuan’s meaning, her heart suddenly jolting, "Boss, this... this is a holy artifact!"

"A functional holy artifact, its suitability with the Imperial Master is crucial. This Prayer Coin is just right for you."

Ashley stared blankly at Su Yuan, yet countless thoughts surged within her mind.

For years, she had been following this person in front of her, repairing her Soul Card with his help, and now also successfully advancing to the Burning Sun thanks to him.

But all along, she just carried out orders as a subordinate, never overestimating herself nor overstepping her bounds.

But now, it seemed he was about to entrust her with something so precious?

Just a subordinate, and one at the Early Sun Realm level at that?

This is a holy artifact, and it is the very first one he obtained, genuine and real!

Seeing Ashley in a daze, Su Yuan chuckled lightly, flicking the coin towards her.

Ashley was awakened, hurriedly reaching out to catch it, about to say something.

Su Yuan interrupted, "If it’s heads, don’t refuse."

Hearing this, Ashley paused, then stiffly opened her hand with complex emotions...

In her palm, the Angel Holding Flowers revealed itself as heads!

"It seems it has made its own choice," Su Yuan smiled.

"Boss..." Ashley’s lips parted as if to speak, but she was momentarily at a loss for words.

Su Yuan, however, wasn’t surprised.

Holy artifacts possess their own spirituality; they choose their own masters.

Evidently, this Prayer Coin saw a certain extraordinarily compatible trait within Ashley, perhaps even surpassing the Fool!

Su Yuan said, "Take good care of it and make full use of its power. Don’t disappoint me."

Looking at the youthful and gentle young man before her with a smile on his face, Ashley gripped the coin in her palm even tighter.

"Thank you, Boss... Ashley will dedicate everything to you!" Ashley took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.

"Then go wash the cup first." Su Yuan laughed, "Oh, and another cup of coffee like just now, the taste is excellent."

Ashley’s expression froze, then a pair of beautiful eyes curved into crescents as she smiled.

"Alright~"

...

After savoring another cup of Jasmine Latte made by Ashley, Su Yuan got up and went to the nearby square.

He flipped his hand to retrieve the Glazed Tianqing; the Green Light swirled, giving birth to Glazed, and [Justice] Pla appeared in the field.

With a thought from Su Yuan, Pla’s entire body trembled, a large amount of vitality being drawn from it, turning back into a corpse in an instant.

With a gesture from his left hand, the Undead Evil Fire flew out and incinerated it to ashes.

"A spot is now vacant..."

With another wave of his hand, a voluptuous yet bloody corpse fell to the ground... it was Ba Shu.

Then, Su Yuan drove a sword into Ba Shu’s body.

"Refining Shape!"
