Ning Xiuying follows Art and others during the shopping.
Mei Xing and Su He noticed how timid and shy she became. They were surprised to see the lack of confidence she had in herself.
Art shops some dresses for Ning Xiuying. Su He and Mei Xing shop for their clothes for the party and wear them. Both of them were dazzling.
Ning Xiuying wears a solid gown dress with a belt given by Art. Su He wears an embellished dress, whereas Mei Xing wears a maxi dress.
Art was surprised. He knew that Ning Xiuying was beautiful but had never imagined she would look this stunning.
"I thought you would be an outgoing type of person. I never thought that you would normally dress for a party." Art says to Mei Xing.
"Why? Are you disappointed? " Mei Xing teases him.
"You should also buy clothes for yourself for the party." Su He says to Art.
If he looks this good in these clothes when he dresses up, how good will he be?' Mei Xing and Ning Xiuying thought at the same time.
"Ok." Art leaves after saying that. Xiuying follows him.
"Sis Mei Xing, do you like Art?" Su He asks Mei Xing. Mei Xing blushes.
"You are overthinking it." Mei Xing with her face beet red.
"Oh! OK, Ning Xiuying will have a good life with him. I can tell she likes him even though she just met him. I don't think that he will reject her as she is talented and beautiful." Su He says to Mei Xing.
'Why do I feel annoyed?' Mei Xing thinks to herself after hearing Su He's words.
"I don't think that would be the case. You are too simple-minded. I can tell Art is from a more powerful family than us. She can be with him, but more than that, I doubt that. " Mei Xing says to Su He.
"Ah... I don't think Art will do that after being with him for some time. He did not look down on us or any other people. He values someone's behaviour more than their status. I also feel that you have a chance with him. " Su He says to Mei Xing.
Mei Xing's face was beet red, and she was happy after hearing her words.
"I forgot to ask... How is Qiuyue related to him?" Su He questions Mei Xing.
"Ah... this. Qiuyue told me that someone important was coming to their house. She needs to prepare for it and will be busy during the party. So, she asked me to come with you a little earlier." Mei Xing informs Su He.
"You forgot to tell me about this important matter." Su He gave her an angry look.
"No. I did not forget it, but after seeing Art, I became curious about him. So, it slipped my mind." Mei Xing answers while looking away.
Su He sees her with a suspicious look.
"Lie to me all you want about not liking him, but make sure to never lie to yourself." Su He says it to her after a moment of silence.
"He is the most beautiful and handsome man I have ever seen. I doubt that you will make him fall for you." Su He continues her sentence.
Mei Xing was surprised at how sharp and bold Su He was today. She is usually a polite and naive girl.
"Do you like him?" Mei Xing asks her.
"I do like him, but not in a romantic way. I feel more like a sister to him, and I don't like to share my man. " Su He replies calmly.
Mei Xing was shocked at Su He's words.
"Why do I feel you have become smarter after meeting him?" Mei Xing says to Su He.

Ning Xiuying helps Art select the dress for the party.
"Did you have a boyfriend before?" Art asks Xiuying after seeing how good she is at selecting the dresses for boys.
"No! ... I used to go shopping with my Dad. " Xiuying replies to Art with a sad voice.
Art pats her head.
"I don't need your treasures. You already have 18 billion coins with you after the auction. You can leave this place and live happily in a different region, hiding your identity. " Art says to Xiuying.
Xiuying was surprised after hearing the words of Art.
"How did you..." Xiuying was about to ask Art but decided not to ask. Xiuying closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.
"I want to be with you. I like you even though I know you for a few moments. You give me a sense of security... I will make you like me and accept me in the future. I know I am not worthy of someone like you, but I will try my best to be able to stand by your side. " Xiuying says confidently to Art.
Art smiles at her and whispers in her ears.
"Good Luck."
Xiuying blushes and continues to select the dress for Art.
'You are similar to her.' While going to the trail room, Art thinks to himself.

Art and Xiuying arrived near Mei Xing and Su He while they were talking.
Mei Xing looks at Art, quickly turning her head in embarrassment.
"You look good." Su He compliments Art.
Art thanks her. He moves to Mei Xing and asks her, "How do I look? Not bad, right? " Mei Xing's face turns beet red. She thought he would look good in a formal suit, but it has exceeded her expectations.
Mei Xing composes herself and nods her head in agreement with Art.
Art, Xiuying, and Su He waited for Mei Xing to bring her car to go to the party at the Murong's house.

-Murong House-
"Welcome! Mrs Dragon, It is a great pleasure to have you here. Who is this young lady? Where is my son-in-law? " Murong Yuchen greeted Athena and stared at the young lady in her early teenage whose beauty was no less than his daughter. He even thought she was more attractive than his daughter.
Murong Yuchen was the family head of the Murong Family on earth. He was middle-aged in his early 30's. He had a beard, which made him handsome to others.
"She is Amelia Melany. She is also one of the fiances of my grandson, with your daughter. Art will arrive after some time. I came here to meet my granddaughter-in-law before the arrival of my grandson. I hope you will keep this secret." Athena gave a reply to Murong Yuchen.
Murong Yuchen was sweating and nervous while talking to Athena. He felt like he was speaking to a high-level person whom he could not fathom.
Amelia has long black hair and black eyes. Her beauty is enough to cause war between a few nations. Her sharp black eyes were out of this world. Murong Yichen was Murong Yuchen's son and heir of the Murong family on the earth. He was his world of dreams after seeing her.
"Cough... cough..." Murong Xin, who came with Athena, made a sound.
Murong Xin was a beauty who had long black hair and blue eyes. She looked like someone in her late 20s despite having three children.
"Mrs Dragon, you need not worry. We would not tell Art that you have visited here. Bring your second sister here. " Murong Xin quickly takes this opportunity to wake her son from his dreams and give a sharp glance at Murong Yuchen.
Murong Yuchen quickly composes himself.
' Yichen, this idiot is drolling over at her despite having a fiance. I need to give him a few lessons after this. ' Murong Xin thought to herself.
Murong Yuchen was still amazed after seeing one of the five strongest people in existence in front of him.
Murong Yichen arrives with a young lady whose beauty is no less than Amelia. She looked similar to Murong Xin. She has a similar growth rate to Crystal and Mei Xing but is still inferior to Amelia.
"My name is Murong Qiuyue. It is a pleasure to meet you. " Murong Qiuyue immediately greeted Athena and Amelia, unlike Murong Yichen.
"Good. Although your level is low compared to the geniuses in the tower, your talent is noteworthy in spirit energy. This is my gift to you. It is a high-tree spirit core. It will help you advance faster and gather more pure spirit energy. " Athena gave the spirit core to Murong Qiuyue.
Murong Xin was proud of her daughter as she did not let her down.
"Thank you. Miss Dragon. " Murong Qiuyue politely took the spirit core while hiding her amazement and excitement in her heart.
"Call me, grandma!" Athena says to Murong Qiuyue.
"Ok, Grandma! " Murong Qiuyue says this with a smile.
'I thought they would have trouble with me since I lack strength and look down on me for coming from the second-tier family from the tower. They look nice. She is also like me. ' Murong Qiuyue thought to herself while looking at Amelia.
Amelia stands up and introduces herself. Her voice was seductive, which would make any man go crazy for her.
After speaking for a few minutes with Qiuyue, Amelia noticed a message on her phone.
Amelia stared at Murong Yuchen before starting to speak.
"Who is Ning Haoran?" Amelia asked, in a solemn voice, to Murong Yuchen.
Startled by the tense atmosphere, he immediately responded.
"He is the heir of the Ning Family." Murong Yuchen curiously replied to her, asking why she was asking about him.
"He is a scumbag who has no morality left in him. He killed his own family members to get stronger to become the heir of the Ning family. " Qiuyue said in an angry tone, concealing her killing intent, which was visible in her eyes.
Her words attracted everyone present there, including the family elders.
Athena was curious as to why Amelia asked that question but decided not to interfere.
"He had the guts to show killing intent towards my man. I need to destroy him thoroughly before leaving for the central region. " Amelia said, in a cold voice.
"Just call me big-sis!" Amelia said to Qiuyue with a smile on her face.
The elders were sweating and confused after feeling the killing intent from her, disbelieving their eyes when she spoke politely to Qiuyue and others like nothing had happened here before.
Amelia was suppressing her killing intent after hearing about Ning Haoran from Qiuyue and the elders of the Murong family.
Murong Xin was visibly angry after hearing about events happening in the eastern region and the Ning family act.
Athena was calm while not showing emotions on her face.
'Ning Family will take care of the scumbags after reporting. As for that brat who dared to show killing intent at Art. His fate is miserable, as Amelia would surely torture him to the last of his bones. I will not interfere in this. ' Athena thought to herself after sending a message from her communication crystal.
Murong Yuchen, who saw this scene, was sweating, as two people were deciding the fate of one of the major eleven families in the upper eastern region.
'I, who am a peak of 10th stage gold-level, never thought there would be a monster who would reach gold-level before 18, while I took 35 years to achieve it.' Murong Yuchen glanced at the aura of Amelia and let out a sigh.
"You are practicing pure realm art?" Athena asks Murong Yuchen.
Murong Yuchen turned serious and nodded his head. If it were someone else asking the question, he would outright kill that person fearing, that they would leak the information about him.
