In the quiet inner room, only Jun Xiaoyao and Xia Bingyun were present.
Jun Xiaoyao observed Xia Bingyun.
Her dark hair was styled into an elegant and dignified bun.
Her skin was as white as jade, glowing with radiance.
Her features were delicate and beautiful, and her eyes were captivating.
Her figure was not exaggeratedly curvy, but her curves were extremely soft and graceful, showcasing a woman's charm.
She exuded an elegant and intellectual beauty.
Noticing Jun Xiaoyao's gaze, Xia Bingyun, uncharacteristically, felt a hint of nervousness.
She had always been the one to see through others, but this time, she felt that Jun Xiaoyao had seen through her.
Before Jun Xiaoyao, everything about her seemed to be completely exposed.
"Why are you nervous?"
Jun Xiaoyao chuckled softly and sat down.
"It's my first time meeting the rumored Divine Child, so Bingyun is inevitably nervous," Xia Bingyun said.
"No need. Do you know what I want from you?" Jun Xiaoyao tapped the armrest of the chair with his knuckles and said indifferently.
"Bingyun doesn't know," Xia Bingyun replied truthfully.
Due to the treasure gathering basin, she had many treasures on her person.
However, thinking of the Jun Family Divine Child's status, she felt that there wouldn't be many things on her that Jun Xiaoyao would value.
"Could it be..." Xia Bingyun suddenly thought of something.
It was a secret only she knew, unknown even to her parents or her younger sister, Xia Chuqing.
"What Divine Child wants is one of the Nine Great Heavenly Books on your person, the Treasure Book!"
As these words fell, Xia Bingyun's delicate body trembled, and her mind buzzed!
She hadn't expected her biggest secret to be discovered so easily by Jun Xiaoyao.
Of course, Xia Bingyun didn't know at this moment that Jun Xiaoyao already possessed the Body Book and the Space Book.
He could use these two books to sense the Treasure Book on Xia Bingyun.
As for other Heavenly Book masters, it was impossible for them to sense Jun Xiaoyao.
Because if Jun Xiaoyao didn't want to reveal himself, no one could see through his true nature.
"How did Divine Child know?" Xia Bingyun was very curious.
The Treasure Book was her biggest secret, never revealed to anyone.
"Because I am also a Heavenly Book master," Jun Xiaoyao said directly.
"I see," Xia Bingyun nodded slightly.
Although she wasn't sure how Jun Xiaoyao sensed her Heavenly Book through his own, it was Jun Xiaoyao's own method, and she naturally wouldn't pry.
"Then how did Divine Child know that Bingyun controls the Treasure Book, one of the Nine Great Heavenly Books?" Xia Bingyun continued to ask.
"Can an Emperor Weapon like the treasure gathering basin be picked up casually?" Jun Xiaoyao smiled.
If that was luck, then the luck was simply too good.
"As expected, it couldn't be hidden from Divine Child. Indeed, Bingyun controls the Treasure Book."
With the secret completely exposed, Xia Bingyun couldn't hide anything.
She briefly explained the situation.
It turned out that when she was very young, she obtained half a volume of the Treasure Book.
Later, she used the half-volume of the Treasure Book in her possession to find the Emperor Weapon, the treasure gathering basin.
And within the treasure gathering basin, there was the other half of the Treasure Book.
The Nine Great Heavenly Books were also spiritual treasures of heaven and earth, and in the dark, they would seek out their masters, making them Heavenly Book masters.
Xia Bingyun was the master of the Treasure Book.
"Now, Divine Child wants this extremely precious Treasure Book. Will you hand it over?" Jun Xiaoyao looked at Xia Bingyun and said.
He had long decided to collect all Nine Great Heavenly Books.
Jun Xiaoyao vaguely felt that there was a great secret behind the Nine Great Heavenly Books.
It was even rumored that if one could gather all Nine Great Heavenly Books, one could glimpse a faint path to Immortal Ascension.
Of course, rumors are just rumors, as no one has ever gathered all Nine Great Heavenly Books.
It could be said that such an extremely precious treasure as the Nine Great Heavenly Books could not be measured by any value.
Someone from a commercial family like Xia Bingyun, who was best at valuing things, probably wouldn't be willing to hand it over.
However, whether she handed it over or not was Xia Bingyun's business.
Jun Xiaoyao was certainly going to obtain it.
But to Jun Xiaoyao's surprise, Xia Bingyun only hesitated for a moment before her jade finger brushed over her spatial Magical Artifact.
A scroll made of gold foil-like material appeared.
Xia Bingyun held the scroll in her hands and presented it, saying, "The Treasure Book is here."
"Oh?"
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He took the scroll and, after a brief inspection, confirmed its authenticity.
This was the real Treasure Book, not a fake.
Such decisiveness made Jun Xiaoyao look at Xia Bingyun in a new light.
"You just hand over such a precious thing?" Jun Xiaoyao asked with interest.
He had thought he might need to use a little force.
"Divine Child saved my younger sister, and Bingyun is deeply grateful. It's just a Treasure Book. If Divine Child wants it, I will naturally offer it," Xia Bingyun said without a hint of reluctance.
"It seems you have already thoroughly comprehended this Treasure Book, haven't you?" Jun Xiaoyao smiled.
After all, Xia Bingyun had obtained half a volume of the Treasure Book since she was a child.
No matter how profound the Treasure Book was, Xia Bingyun should have comprehended it by now.
Xia Bingyun also admitted it, nodding slightly.
The reason she decisively handed over the Treasure Book, besides wanting to please Jun Xiaoyao, was indeed because she had almost grasped some of its essence.
Of course, with Xia Bingyun's talent, it would be difficult to fully comprehend all of its essence.
"No matter the reason, you truly surprised Divine Child," Jun Xiaoyao said, unceremoniously putting the Treasure Book into his spatial Magical Artifact.
At this point, Jun Xiaoyao had obtained three volumes of the Nine Great Heavenly Books.
The Treasure Book, one of the Nine Great Heavenly Books, controls the Dao of Artifact Refining and also possesses the ability to Refine Artifacts.
Cultivating it to the extreme allows one to control any Divine Weapon or Sharp Weapon, even Emperor Weapons, and can even strip opponents of their weapons.
Furthermore, the Treasure Book also has the ability to sense and search for various treasures and mineral deposits.
This is why Xia Bingyun could be called a little rich lady.
Besides the help of the treasure gathering basin, the Treasure Book also helped Xia Bingyun find many treasures.
"It is Bingyun's honor to be able to contribute a small amount of power to Divine Child," Xia Bingyun said with a smile.
She was a strong woman, with extraordinary means and exquisite social skills.
Since she had the opportunity to cling to Jun Xiaoyao's high branch, she naturally wouldn't let it go easily.
"In that case, are you willing to always be loyal to Divine Child?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
These words made Xia Bingyun pause for a moment, and then a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.
With her intelligence, how could she not know what these words meant?
In fact, just now, Xia Bingyun had been pondering in her mind how to establish a relationship with Jun Xiaoyao.
She wanted to propose it, but was afraid of being counterproductive and making Jun Xiaoyao displeased, thus messing things up.
Now, Jun Xiaoyao's initiative undoubtedly gave her an opportunity.
"Bingyun is certainly willing," Xia Bingyun agreed without hesitation.
Jun Xiaoyao's gaze was profound as he said, "You must think clearly. I don't just want you, but the entire Xia Family to join my Jun Emperor Court."
"This also means that everything of the Xia Family, to some extent, belongs to the Jun Emperor Court, including those resources, and the Emperor Weapon, the treasure gathering basin!"
As these words fell, the joy on Xia Bingyun's face instantly froze.
She thought Jun Xiaoyao wanted to keep her by his side alone.
It turned out that what Jun Xiaoyao wanted was the entire Xia Family!
And it also included all resources and treasures, including the Emperor Weapon, the treasure gathering basin.
This was simply a brazen demand, wanting to monopolize everything of the Xia Family!
