2039 Let Me Pinch You. Are You Real? (2)
Wang Teng stood in front of the grand hall, facing the direction of the entrance, and noticed a larger statue.

This statue appeared to be placed there as an object of worship, with offerings arranged around it.

“Just as I thought!”

Wang Teng’s eyes gleamed as he approached the statue, ready to collect it.

“Hold on!” The queen’s face turned black and she couldn’t help but speak up.

“What’s the matter?” Wang Teng asked.

The queen took a deep breath, realizing she didn’t have the authority or power to stop this guy. She reluctantly said, “Let me pay my respects. I believe this is my ancestor.”

Her tone seemed to carry a hint of resentment.

Wang Teng paused for a moment and replied, “Alright, go ahead and pay your respects. After that, I’ll collect it.”

The Queen: …

The others couldn’t help but stifle their laughter. They could tell the queen’s intentions, and it was clear that Wang Teng was feigning ignorance.

But they also understood that they wouldn’t pass up such a valuable item. The statue before them was also made of Snake Spirit Ice Stone, a valuable material.

The queen knew that she had done her best and that her ancestors wouldn’t hold it against her. She began performing an ancient Snake Race ritual before the statue. She noticed some incense on a nearby table and reached to light it.

“Wait!” This time, Wang Teng spoke up.

The queen froze and looked at him with confusion.

Wang Teng stepped forward, snatched an unlit incense from the table, and brought it to his nose.

His eyes lit up like two bright light bulbs!

“The incense… Is there something special about it?” the queen asked hesitantly.

Wan Dong and the others looked at Wang Teng curiously too.

It was just sn incense. How could it be a treasure?

But, looking at Wang Teng, he seemed even more excited than when he saw the statues.

Was there something special about this incense?

This is the Soul Congealing Incense! Wang Teng chuckled in his heart. He was pleasantly surprised.

As an alchemist, he was highly sensitive to such things.

Upon entering the grand hall, he detected a unique scent, but it wasn’t until he saw this incense that he recognized it as Soul Congregating Incense.

The Soul Congregating Incense had the effect of enhancing one’s spirit.

For a divine spirit master, this was a valuable find, as it could assist in enhancing their spiritual power cultivation.

Of course, it had its benefits for martial warriors as well. While their spiritual power enhancement might not be as pronounced as for divine spirit masters, spiritual power was essential for anyone.

It seemed that the Naga Race was indeed wealthy and generous, using Soul Congregating Incense as an offering.

“You’re incredibly lucky. It looks like this journey is going to yield substantial rewards,” Round Ball commented, feeling somewhat surprised that even this inconspicuous incense could be a valuable discovery.

Wang Teng grinned to himself and quickly stored the Soul Congregating Incense. He knew better than to waste such valuable items.

Meanwhile, the group, including Wan Dong and the others, remained puzzled, not understanding the significance of the incense.

They watched in wonder as Wang Tong collected even the partially burnt sticks from the incense burner, their curiosity growing more intense by the moment.

Good stuff!

This must be good stuff!

Otherwise, Wang Teng wouldn’t be this… exaggerated, collecting even the residual incense in the incense burner.
Unfortunately, he didn’t explain, and they couldn’t guess what it was.

Then Wang Teng looked at the other items on the table. If the incense was a valuable find, these other objects were unlikely to be inferior.

This incense burner is nice. I’ll take it!

The offering tray looks like an antique. I’ll take that too! The oil lamps on both sides seem valuable, so I’ll take those as well! Oh, and this table looks good. I’ll take it!

…

Wang Teng waved his hand, collecting item after item, not sparing even the table.

The others were dumbfounded. They had underestimated Wang Teng’s boldness and thick skin.

How could a normal person do this?

Finally, Wang Teng looked at the colossal Naga statue, then glanced at the queen, and asked, “Can I take this too?”

“Go ahead!” The queen’s mouth twitched as she turned away and grudgingly replied.

“Well, then I won’t be polite!” Wang Teng exclaimed and collected the statue.

The entire hall suddenly felt a bit eerie. If anyone else were to come here, they’d find it odd, like something was missing.

“Let’s go, check out the other places,” Wang Teng eagerly moved towards the exit.

The others had no choice but to follow, their spirits dampened.

This guy was just too… stingy, he took everything, leaving them with nothing.

However, when they reached the door, Wang Teng suddenly halted.

Thud!

A very faint sound of footsteps echoed in the hall.

The sound of footsteps was different from their own, and it quickly faded away as if it had never appeared.

Wang Teng turned abruptly, his eyes bursting with golden light as he activated his Real Eye, scanning the darkness.

The others also heard it, their faces changing, their hearts filled with unease as they watched their surroundings.

Footsteps?

How could there be footsteps?

In such an environment, the sudden appearance of footsteps was indeed eerie. If it weren’t for the presence of the group, they might have felt genuine fear.

Wang Teng frowned. He hadn’t seen anything, and the footsteps had disappeared. His Real Eye didn’t capture anything.

“You all heard it, right?” He asked the others, not believing it was a hallucination.

“We heard it.” The others nodded.

“Interesting, it’s getting more interesting,” Wang Teng looked around and glanced deeply into the darkness before turning and leaving.
