After thinking about it, Yi An agreed with Tang Xiao's idea, and they hurriedly went to Ouyang Ming's room. She handed her smartphone to him, asking him to take some pictures of them. She couldn't do it herself because it hurt so much to see her husband and son sleeping with her personal assistant, which filled her with disappointment.
After Tang Xiao took a few pictures of them, he returned the smartphone to Yi An and took her to leave the room. "Xiao'er, I don't want to stay at home for now, and I want to stay in a hotel to calm myself down, so you have to accompany me."
"Alright." Tang Xiao took Yi An to the car park before leaving the Ouyang House together.

After she arrived at the Shen House, Yang Mi cooked a simple meal for her husband in prison. She ground the poison pill Tang Xiao gave him into a powder and mixed it with the food.
After she finished cooking, Yang Mi packed the food before cleaning herself and changing clothes. She left the Shen family home again with the food, and she was rushed to the prison to meet her husband.
.

Sometime later, Yang Mi was already in prison, and she sat across from Shen Tianhu in a private room. "I don't know what I can do to free you from this prison, but I hope you can be freed soon and come back to me."
"Where is our son? Why didn't he accompany you?" She Tianhu asked in a tired voice because the prison atmosphere was stressing him out, and the high-ranking police officer put him in solitary confinement.
"Our son is still sleeping because he doesn't feel well." Yang Mi opened the food and handed it to her husband. "I know that prison food is not delicious, so I prepare your favorite meal instead. Even if you don't have an appetite, you should still eat something to maintain your condition and prevent you from getting sick."
Shen Tianhu didn't say anything to his wife, and he hurriedly ate the food, unaware that it would be his last meal. Even though the food was poisoned, he wouldn't die of agony because Xiao Ai used a mild but deadly poison, and he would die without even realizing it.
Wang Fuxi watched them from outside the prison using her senses, but she didn't notice anything strange from Yang Mi, and her communication with Shen Tianhu was normal.
After Shen Tianhu finished the food, Yang Mi spoke with him for a few minutes before leaving the prison, and she went straight back to the Shen House.
After she arrived at the Shen House, Yang Mi drank the poison she had, and she returned to her room to wait for the poison to work.

Tang Xiao and Yi An were already in the hotel room, but they did not engage in sexual activity. He hugged her and tried to comfort her to ease her sadness, but he was pleased with today's events because she would be completely alone after this.
"Xiao'er," Yi An called out and looked up at her. "Are you going to leave me after I divorce my husband?"
Tang Xiao smiled at her and kissed her lips. "Do you think I'll leave you? I already said that I love you, and I want you to always be by my side, so I will never leave you."
"Really?"
"I promise you that I will never leave you." Yi An smiled and buried her face in Tang Xiao's chest. "You look tired physically and mentally, so you should sleep now, and I will accompany you beside you."
Yi An nodded to him and closed her eyes. "Don't leave me, okay?"
"I'll be here when you open your eyes, Yi'er." Tang Xiao hugged Yi An tightly while patting her shoulder lightly, accompanying her to sleep. 'Xiao Ai, you know what you have to do, right?'
[Leave it to me, Master. You can persuade Yi An to file for divorce from Ouyang Hong tomorrow, and I will take care of everything for you.]
'Good.'

At the Ouyang House, Ouyang Qing finally woke up from her sleep and immediately left her room to look for her mother. As she passed her big brother's room, she stopped in front of the open door and froze, her eyes widening at the sight of three naked people sleeping soundly on the bed.
"This bitch! She not only sleeps with my brother, but she also sleeps with my father!" Ouyang Qing ran to her parents' room, but she couldn't find Yi An there. She checked the parking lot and found her mother's car was gone, and she couldn't find Tang Xiao in his room either, leading her to assume he was accompanying her mother elsewhere.
Ouyang Qing hurried back to her room, grabbed her smartphone, and called Yi An. However, her mother didn't answer, so she called Tang Xiao and was able to connect, especially since he had anticipated her call. "Feng Xiao, are you with my mother now?"
[Yes, Qing'er. Your mother saw Su Rou sleeping with your father and brother, and she was devastated when she saw it. She then asked me to take her away to calm down, and she is currently crying in the distance.]
Ouyang Qing let out a heavy sigh, and she realized her mother must be devastated right now. "Please stay with my mother and don't let her do anything strange, and you must stop her if she thinks about committing suicide."
[Qing'er, I will protect your mother well, and you don't have to worry about her.]
"I believe you." Ouyang Qing went straight to clean herself, and she left the Ouyang family home afterward. Since Luo Qinglin disappeared, she decided to go to Lin Yan's house, mainly because Jessica was accompanying her husband.

Meanwhile, many items had already been sold at the auction house, and the buyers were cultivators from first- and second-grade clans, including the Zhang and Feng Clans.
However, Tang Xiao's clone didn't buy anything after obtaining the Seven-Color Glazed Berry, mainly because the items being auctioned were mostly weapons and other equipment.
Feng Shen asked him. "Why didn't you bid on any of those items?"
"Not interesting." Tang Xiao's clone turned to him. "Senior Feng, you've seen my weapons, right? Do you think those weapons can compare to mine?"
Feng Shen shook his head in response. "Your weapon is truly unique, and I've never seen a weapon that can change into so many forms before. Moreover, the grade of your weapon is also very high, so the weapons being auctioned today are not comparable to it."
"That's right." Tang Xiao's clone looked at Xuan Xi. "All those pieces of equipment are interesting, but I'm not interested in them. If this auction house doesn't have any other excellent stuff, I'm thinking of leaving this place and training in the forest again. I've wasted a lot of time in this place waiting for good items, but my wait was wasted because there was nothing good and eye-catching."
"Hahaha." Feng Shen laughed at that. "They still have one last item, and I'm sure these people came specifically for that item, including Xue Shun. Xuan Xi will start her auction soon, so we should wait for that item. If you're not interested in that item, we'll leave this place immediately, and I'll take you to the forest."
Tang Xiao's clone nodded at him. "Alright, we'll wait for the last item."
.
.
.
On the stage, Xuan Xi looked at all the auction participants, especially the cultivators sitting in the VIP rooms.
"This item will be the last item in this auction, and I'm sure you've all been looking forward to it, especially those of you from the first-grade clans. I'm sure you all want this item because it's the only one in existence, and no one has any information about its effects." Xuan Xi immediately took out a fruit with a strong red aura around it, making the cultivators in the VIP rooms right away rush out onto their balconies. "I don't have exact information about this item because it was only discovered this time, and this item is the only one. Although I don't have information about this item, all of you can feel a strong aura from it."
"Who's the seller, Miss Xuan?" Huang Xiaotian asked.
Xuan Xi shook her head. "Senior Huang, you know the rules of this auction house, and I can't reveal the identity of this item's owner.
"So, the effect is unknown, Miss Xuan," Feng Xiaofang asked.
"Yes." Xuan Xi nodded in response. "I know this item is a high-stakes gamble, but from the aura it radiates, I'm certain it has significant effects, especially for our cultivation."
"What's the starting price for the fruit, Miss Xuan?"
Xuan Xi looked into the Wang Clan's VIP room. "Patriarch Wang, the starting auction price for this fruit is five hundred million gold coins, and each bid must increase by fifty million gold coins."
All the cultivators present fell silent after Xuan Xi mentioned the fruit's price, and all of them considered it unreasonable to buy a fruit with unclear effects for five hundred million gold coins. They could indeed sense the fruit's unusual aura, but its unclear effects made the gamble too high.
Tang Xiao's clone was the same as them, and he thought that the price of the fruit was too unreasonable. However, Xiao Ai suddenly spoke to him. [Master, you must get that fruit; it is the Ascension Fruit.]
