Chapter 99 The Emperor's Favor
"Your Majesty, this..." Wang Yan hesitated to accept directly. How beneficial would the Ice Jade Scorpion's soul bone be to Huo Yuhao? A little thought would make it clear, not to mention the upcoming competition. If Huo Yuhao successfully absorbed it before the competition, then this competition would undoubtedly be Xu Jiawei handing over a great favor to Shrek Academy. 🐚♠ ❻9ˢнυｘ.ᑕ𝕠๓ ♥😂
Xu Jiawei smiled slightly and explained, "My Guardian Douluo told me that these two young friends are both possessors of the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul. How many Soul Masters in the world possess the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul? Shrek Academy has produced two of them at once. As the saying goes, a fine sword is given to a hero. Teacher Wang, please don't refuse. After all, even if this Soul Bone were in my possession, it would only gather dust."
Ye Nanxiao reminded Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, quickly thank His Majesty."
Huo Yuhao then realized what was happening, looked at Wang Yan, and seeing the latter nod slightly, quickly bowed to Xu Jiawei and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xu Jiawei continued, "It's nothing. This is the honor this soul bone deserves. Judging from your registration, you are a citizen of my Star Luo Empire. As the saying goes, we shouldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders. Alright, I'll be in charge of the rest of the auction, so I'll be leaving now." Xu Jiawei nodded slightly to everyone and then turned to leave.
Huo Yuhao was somewhat incredulous that Xu Jiawei had given him such a precious Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone so readily. However, the feeling Xu Jiawei gave Huo Yuhao was not one of majesty, but rather of affability. Beneath his composed exterior lay a confident air of having everything under control, which was convincing.
Jiang Nannan tugged at Ye Nanxiao's sleeve and whispered, "Did you already know?"
Ye Nanxiao smiled slightly and gently rubbed Jiang Nannan's pretty face.
Xu Jiawei's gift was not just a soul bone and gold soul coins; this favor would greatly benefit Xingluo.
Wang Yan sighed, "His Majesty the Emperor is incredibly well-informed."
Meanwhile, the bidding and auction for the 100,000-year-old embryo continued. Xu Jiawei's move was brilliant, as he used the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo to achieve three goals at once.
As Ye Nanxiao gazed at the ever-increasing prices on the screen, he remarked with a sigh, "The profession of emperor is truly not to be underestimated."
Inside Xu Jiawei's room.
After a long while, she smiled mysteriously and said, "You're getting more and more wicked."
Xu Jiawei rubbed his temples and said, "There's no other way. Even if Xingluo can't get on Shrek's ship, they have to stick close behind. The Sun Moon Empire is making more and more small moves. When war breaks out, Shrek will be our only ally that we can rely on for quick support."
Seeing the heated competition on the screen, he ordered, "Jiujiu, after this competition ends, immediately strengthen the ties with Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy's merchant groups will have their trade taxes in Xingluo reduced by half."
"What's the situation with those powerful sects?"
Xu Jiujiu said, "Two companies have expressed a fairly clear intention."
"Three months after this auction, issue a mission to seize Mingdetang from underground, and let's make this spark even more intense." A cold glint flashed in Xu Jiawei's eyes.
Huo Yuhao's exclamation interrupted Ye Nanxiao, who was deep in thought. Ye Nanxiao looked up and saw that the price on the light screen had reached 150 million gold soul coins. Such a generous move, Ye Nanxiao thought for a moment and realized that it must be Xiao Hongchen's doing. Only the number one young master of the continent could afford to spend so much money. The income of Mingde Hall cannot be measured in gold soul coins.
Ye Nanxiao guessed correctly. In VIP room number two, Xiao Hongchen stood in front of the Soul Guidance Screen, clenching his fists and saying, "Let's see who dares to compete with me now."
The expressions of the people behind Xiao Hongchen varied, ranging from indifference and calmness to envy.
Looking at the embryo in the light screen, Meng Hongchen's thoughts wandered. "Ultimate Ice, he is exactly that. Does he have any ideas? If so, borrowing my embryo might allow me to gain a deeper understanding. But given his personality, he probably wouldn't be interested."
Ma Rulong frowned and asked, "Is it worth using so much money?"
Another elderly man in the group agreed, saying, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to raise the price by 20 million at once?"
Without turning his head, Xiao Hongchen said, "Of course it's worth it. I didn't spend any of the academy's money."
Upon hearing this, Ma Rulong's face turned ugly. He was about to say something, but Old Ma glared at him, so Ma Rulong had no choice but to remain silent.
In VIP Room No. 3, a man with a right arm twice the size of his left arm looked furious. A man with a large head and combed hair glanced at the black-level auctioneer standing to the side and ordered, "Go and find out who it is."
In an instant, ripples appeared throughout the room, like waves on water. The black-level auctioneer stared blankly, nodded, and turned to leave.
The man with the thick right arm laughed upon seeing this, "You really do have a way."
The other VIP rooms were each finding out the situation on their own. With the auction house's deliberate cooperation, the identities of the people from the Sun Moon Empire were no longer a secret.
Xiao Hongchen laughed and said, "As expected, you were frightened by me, Elder Ma. After the transaction is over, you must immediately take this item back to Mingde Hall and hand it over to my great-grandfather. There must be no mishaps."
Old Ma nodded. "I will quickly return to Mingde Hall through the secret passage."
Soon, the transaction of the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryos was over, and each item was immediately delivered to its respective buyer's room.
Under Huo Yuhao's ardent gaze, He Caitou solemnly put away the twelve fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, his dark face flushed with excitement.
Ye Nanxiao sat on the sofa, holding Jiang Nannan's hand with his left hand, while his right fingers tapped rhythmically on the sofa.
While Ye Nanxiao appeared to be deep in thought, he was actually constantly comforting Xue Di within his spiritual sea.
After briefly instructing everyone to get some rest, Wang Yan sent them back to their rooms.
After Ye Nanxiao was led back to his room by Jiang Nannan, Jiang Nannan pinned him against the door.
"Wow, you've even hooked up with a princess?" Jiang Nannan narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked at Ye Nanxiao with a smile.
"Oh no, another one's here." Ye Nanxiao had just finished coaxing Xue Di not long ago.
"Not planning to talk about it, Ah Xiao?" Jiang Nannan's fair forehead pressed against Ye Nanxiao's forehead, and the two could feel each other's breath.
Ye Nanxiao swallowed hard, looked at the stunning beauty in front of him, and quickly explained everything in detail.
After listening to Ye Nanxiao's explanation, Jiang Nannan lightly touched Ye Nanxiao's lips with a dragonfly's peck, then turned around with a smile to prepare for her bath.
Ye Nanxiao sat on the ground, touching his lips, and murmured, "A vixen, a vixen."
"Oh, you're acting innocent after getting the benefit, Xiao'er," Xue Di laughed.
"Are you alright?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"Hmm, I've figured it out. I'm one with you now, no longer a soul beast, but a part of you. This world is a dog-eat-dog world. Today's auction can only be considered the misfortune of that soul beast. I have to say, your human soul tools are truly terrifying. In the past, only extremely powerful Title Douluos or those with special abilities could restrain 100,000-year-old soul beasts. I never thought that a soul tool no bigger than a head could control a 100,000-year-old soul beast. In the future, the living space for soul beasts will become smaller and smaller," Xue Di sighed.
"Perhaps. Speaking of humans, I wouldn't say I'm entirely human either." Ye Nanxiao floated in front of the Snow Emperor's sealed ice mountain, looking at the great demon bloodline inside.
Xue Di put her arm around Ye Nanxiao's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen."
Ye Nanxiao laughed and said, "Xue'er, you've changed."
Xue Di looked at Ye Nanxiao with a puzzled expression.
Ye Nanxiao laughed cheekily, "You're becoming more like a tomboy, haha. Being a tomboy has many advantages, let me tell you."
Ye Nanxiao was completely oblivious to Xue Di's radiant smile, continuing to talk about the advantages of being a tomboy.
"Xiao'er." Xue Di waved to Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao floated to Xue Di's side.
Xue Di smiled brightly and said, "Goodbye and don't come back." After saying that, she punched Ye Nanxiao in the face, directly blasting Ye Nanxiao's spiritual body away.
As Ye Nanxiao regained consciousness, he subconsciously rubbed his face. "Boy or Empress, both are fine."
"Ah Xiao, what are you doing sitting here?" Jiang Nannan came out wearing a pale yellow nightgown, her wet hair still had some water droplets on it, and her beautiful face still had a blush from taking a bath.
What a beautiful picture of a woman emerging from a bath!
Ye Nanxiao realized that he couldn't get enough of Jiang Nannan's love, and sighed softly, "To have such a beauty, I have no regrets in this life."
The voice wasn't loud, but Jiang Nannan could hear it clearly. Hearing Ye Nanxiao's praise, Jiang Nannan was overjoyed. Although Ye Nanxiao had other girls in his heart, Jiang Nannan undoubtedly occupied the largest part of his heart.
"Idiot, what are you looking at?" Jiang Nannan laughed.
Ye Nanxiao patted himself off and walked to Jiang Nannan's side. Looking at the beauty in front of him, he couldn't help but say, "Nannan, you are so beautiful."
"You can't eat it now." Jiang Nannan snuggled closer to Ye Nanxiao and playfully stuck out her tongue.
"Then let's collect some interest first," Ye Nanxiao said, feigning a fierce tone.
"Bad guy." Jiang Nannan murmured softly, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, shimmering with a hint of allure.
Ye Nanxiao could no longer resist the temptation and pressed his big mouth heavily against Jiang Nannan's small mouth.
Jiang Nannan went along with Ye Nanxiao.
After a long while, their lips parted. Looking at the slightly shy look on the beauty in his arms, Ye Nanxiao picked Jiang Nannan up and carried her to the bed.
However, Ye Nanxiao still remembered the competition afterward, which was that he ate his fill of tofu, took a bath, and then fell into a deep sleep with his arm around Jiang Nannan's waist.
Jiang Nannan felt a slight regret when she saw that Ye Nanxiao hadn't gone all the way to the last step, and snuggled into Ye Nanxiao's arms to fall asleep.
Meanwhile, in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, Bingdi asked Tianmeng Ice Silkworm with a puzzled look, "Tianmeng, do you think that 100,000-year-old soul beast we encountered today might be one we know? I feel a slight sense of familiarity about it."
A human-like sigh appeared on Tianmeng's face. "Back then, there were so many soul beasts of mine in the far north. I was only focused on escaping for my life. I didn't have any friends at all."
Hyotei nodded and said, "That's true, you're either running for your life or sleeping."
Tianmeng angrily retorted, "For the past million years, have you thought I've been sleeping the whole time?"
A hint of a smile flashed in Hyotei's eyes. "Isn't that right?"
