Ryuen took a deep breath, trying to calm his face that had become a little out of control because of Yamato's words.
He gently smoothed his hair, then turned to look at Yamato, his face serious and earnest.
"Yamato,
I'm afraid today won't work.
Last night, I lost tens of billions in one go!
So, I have to save up a little more before I have the confidence to come and compete with you...".
However,
just as Ryuen was talking non-stop, a shrill scream suddenly came—
"Ah!!!"
This scream seemed to pierce the sky, deafening.
Nami, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't contain her anger. She reached out her right hand and pinched Ryuen's waist fiercely with lightning speed.
And this pinch used all her strength, without any mercy.
In an instant,
Ryuen felt a sharp pain in his waist, a pain as unbearable as being pierced by thousands of steel needles at the same time.
Nami stood with her hands on her hips, her beautiful eyes glaring at Ryuen, her chest heaving with anger.
Clearly,
she could no longer tolerate Ryuen deceiving Yamato, such a simple and kind girl.
The others didn't find this scene strange at all, but instead laughed loudly at Ryuen.
Yamato looked at Ryuen and Nami in confusion. She was puzzled; was a fight really that troublesome?
And you need to save up tens of billions...
Tens of billions of what?
Seeing tears welling up in Ryuen's eyes, Nami nodded in satisfaction and released her hand that was still twisting Ryuen's waist.
"See if you dare to sweet-talk again!" Nami's pretty face turned cold, and she made a fierce look, glaring at Ryuen with her beautiful eyes before nonchalantly sitting down and continuing to enjoy her breakfast.
Ryuen hissed and rubbed the area of his waist that Nami had twisted, relieving the heart-wrenching pain.
"Just... what happened... Nami, are you afraid that I can't beat Ryuen, so you won't let Ryuen fight with me?
Also, I really want to see how strong someone who can defeat the Five Elders is!" Yamato was very confused and needed to ask clearly.
"That's not it, let Ryuen explain it to you..." Nami glanced at Yamato kindly, and then continued to eat breakfast.
She wanted to see how Ryuen would explain it.
The others also had a look of amusement, teasingly watching what Ryuen would say.
Ryuen looked at Yamato's expectant look, she was almost leaning against him. He calmly reached out and pressed Yamato's shoulders to sit her down.
Then he said to Yamato earnestly:
"Eat your fill first. After breakfast, I'll show you a big treasure. Then you'll know how I took down the Five Elders..."
However, before Ryuen could finish speaking, Nami, who was sitting next to him, suddenly raised her right foot and stepped heavily on his foot.
This sudden attack made Ryuen grunt.
But he didn't dare to complain too much and could only give Nami a pitiful look.
Hearing Ryuen's promise, Yamato, who had been a little anxious, instantly became excited.
She nodded repeatedly and replied:
"Okay, okay! I understand! I'll definitely finish breakfast as soon as possible!"
As she spoke, she devoured the food in front of her like a whirlwind, her gluttonous appearance making people can't help but smile.
At the same time,
Ryuen carefully glanced at Nami.
Then, Nami nonchalantly moved her foot off Ryuen's foot and continued to eat her breakfast elegantly.
Seeing that Nami's face was still calm as water, as if nothing had just happened, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"I'm done eating!" A few minutes later, Yamato satisfiedly wiped her mouth casually with a paper towel, then looked at Ryuen expectantly again.
The corner of Ryuen's mouth twitched.
Luckily, he was almost done eating too. He quickly finished the remaining few pieces of meat, then drank a cup of hot tea, followed by wiping his mouth.
At this time, the others had also finished eating.
However, they had no interest in seeing the big treasure that Ryuen had just mentioned. They ignored Ryuen and Yamato and went back to their own rooms.
However, Nami stopped when she reached the stairs. She spoke:
"I and Kuina know how hot that thing is. Remember to go far away, or the clouds of Sky Island will melt..."
As soon as she finished speaking,
Nami walked slowly up the stairs to the third floor with light and elegant steps, like a noble swan.
"Understood..." Ryuen quickly stood up when he heard this and nodded obediently in agreement.
"Since that's the case, let's hurry up and go!" Yamato couldn't contain her excitement.
She happily grabbed Ryuen's hand and ran towards the door without saying a word.
"Aiya, aiya... Yamato, run slower..." Ryuen staggered, almost losing his balance, but was still dragged along by Yamato, running at a quick pace.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them rushed out of the house like a gust of wind.
Then, Ryuen waved his hands, and a ball of platinum-colored flame cloud instantly appeared under their feet.
With the lifting power of the flame cloud, the two of them quickly took off like flying birds. In the blink of an eye, they flew far away from Sky Island and arrived at a vast open space away from Sky Island.
"Ryuen! Hurry, hurry! Quickly take out that big treasure you mentioned and let me see it! In my opinion, it must be an incredibly powerful divine weapon! Presumably, it's with this peerless weapon that you were able to successfully defeat those legendary Five Elders, am I right? Is it? Is it?"
Yamato stood on the flame cloud, jumping around like a happy little bird, constantly urging Ryuen, eager to see the true face of that mysterious big treasure.
"Of course not..." Ryuen rolled his eyes at Yamato, then manipulated the flame cloud to carry Yamato away from him.
"Eh?"
"Ryuen, what are you doing..."
"You have to stay far away, or you'll get burned in a moment..." Ryuen immediately explained to her before Yamato could finish speaking.
Hearing this, Yamato suppressed her doubts and allowed the flame cloud under her feet to carry her further and further away from Ryuen.
After feeling the distance was about right, Ryuen nodded in satisfaction and then shouted to Yamato:
"Yamato, next you use your own flame cloud to carry yourself. Also, you have to be careful, if you can't stand it, use ice to block it yourself..."
"I understand!" Yamato shouted loudly.
After she spoke, balls of white flame clouds appeared, then replaced Ryuen's platinum flame clouds, steadily holding Yamato.
Seeing that Yamato was ready, Ryuen didn't hesitate and immediately started full beast transformation!
Instantly, a huge fire phoenix, covered in platinum-colored flames, hovered in the high sky!
Almost at the same time as Ryuen fully transformed, Yamato created an ice wall and used it to block herself.
Even so, she could still feel waves of scalding heat coming, and even her skin felt a burning sting.
At this moment, Yamato was extremely shocked.
The temperature of the flames Ryuen displayed was too high!
