Chapter 1444: Friend’s Reunion(19)

“You need to pay thirty thousand ultimate,…, higher Sacred stones,” Aakesh expressionlessly informed Mina, returning the beast card to her.

Mina nodded, and a card appeared in her hand out of thin air. Before Mina could say anything, Aakesh stopped her, informed her that no outside card worked in the store, and introduced her to the store cards.

“Aren’t you greedy?” Mina snickered and then asked for the Ultimate Store Card.

Aakesh didn’t mind Mina’s tone and activated the process of card generation. Soon, the process was complete from both sides, and Mina paid the required sum.

She didn’t wait anymore after that and immediately left the queue. She was about to activate the teleportation function since she didn’t want to get lost again when the sound of a large group of footsteps rang in the store.

Mina stopped and turned around to look at her when her eyes suddenly widened in surprise. She immediately became a cheery person, as if her wild personality were an illusion.

The person she was looking at was also leaving the room, and he also caught sight of Mina. The man had an opposite reaction upon seeing Mina. He immediately wanted to turn around and enter Panagea again, but at that time, Mina had called him, leaving him no choice but to respond with a fake smile.

“Una, who would have thought I’d see you here,” Mina cheered, grabbing the hand of the man.

Una in question was a Sacred King like Mina, and the two knew each other from childhood. Una was always a gentle, kind being. In the past, he had accompanied his father to meet the leader of the Drutisap race, and during that, he came across the scene of Mina being bullied.

Being a kind person, he stepped in and used his prestige as the son of the leader of the Gusvin race to save Mina. Una then forgot about it and met Mina again when she had already become a Higher God, and her talent had bloomed.

The two remained friends after that, when one day Mina suddenly proposed to become his cultivation partner. Una had an easygoing personality, so he didn’t want to bind himself to anyone, and he refused. Following that refusal, Mina challenged him to battle.

The battle ended in tragedy, as there was not a single spot in his body that wasn’t swollen. From that moment on, whenever the two would meet, Mina would propose again, resulting in another beating.

Una was unable to defeat Mina, so he had no choice but to avoid her, and he succeeded at it by lying. For the last decade, Mina and he hadn’t come across each other, and that was to break today.

Fortunately for Una, he was inside the store and didn’t need to fear a beatdown from Mina.

“Where are you going after this?”

Una wanted to activate the store card and leave for some reason when Mina suddenly asked. He froze for a moment, unable to tell a lie.

Mina, who was of the same height as Una, suddenly reached his right ear and whispered, “If you avoid me again, I will complain about you to my father-in-law.”

‘You are crazy!’ Una screamed in his heart.

“How did you find the store without getting lost?” Una asked, trying to change the topic from himself.

Mina immediately turned cheerful and responded, “I found the store by getting lost.”

‘What terrible luck!’ Una again screamed in his heart but kept calm on the outside.

“Did you buy anything from the store?”

“Yes, see,” Mina replied, taking out the beast card and handing it to Una.

Una’s eyes widened in surprise, reading the details of the beast. “Something uglier than me,” Mina stated cheerfully.

Una stopped looking at the card and then looked at her. He took a deep breath and said, “How many times have I told you to forget about that? Things like beauty are immaterial. Appearances can be changed permanently at the whim of the powerful.”

Even though Una avoided Mina, he still considered her his friend since the two had gone through many life-and-death challenges, and Mina had never let him down.

Mina simply scoffed in response to Una’s statement. If it were someone else who said it, she would have beaten them down.

“Let’s go; I will take you to somewhere good,” Una suddenly said.

Mina forgot everything, turned cheerful, and nodded. The two then left the store. Una tried to move a small distance away from Mina but was unable to make her release his hand, so he accepted his fate and walked with her.

While Una took Mina to a special place, Aakesh was conversing with a new customer, introducing him to the store’s products.

“Store owner, I will have three first-grade higher body healing pills,…, first-grade higher spirit enhancement pills,” The man requested, stating the list of pills he needed.

Aakesh nodded and stood up from his chair. He walked to the counter and pulled out the pills one by one. In total, there were fifteen pills of different types.

Aakesh then returned to the chair and expressionlessly informed the man of the money he needed to pay.

The man nodded and took out the required Sacred stones from his space ring, and after counting them again, he pushed them toward the store owner.

Aakesh waved his hands, and the small mountain of stones disappeared from the store. Following that, a mechanical alert rang in his head.

[Host, the sale of three first-grade body healing pills,…, has been completed. The sale commission of 5% has been transferred to your account.]

“The pills are yours,” Aakesh informed, taking back the restriction on the pills.

The man then thanked Aakesh and turned around to leave since Panagea was full.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a white light flashed in the store, and following that, a being appeared.

Philly took a deep breath as he found himself in the familiar store with a beaming smile spread across his face. It had been a while since he came to the store due to his being stuck in ruin for the past several years. It was only that day that he exited. He then immediately came to the store, using the Ultimate Store Card.
