"What are you doing! I didn't say anything wrong!" Ye Lang was completely oblivious; Princess Longji had actually been warning him.
"You can't say it, not even if you do!" Princess Longji said domineeringly. "I don't like hearing that you're going against me, even if it's because you're ignorant or stupid, it's still not allowed!"
"I didn't do anything to you, I just didn't know you were Princess Longji..." Ye Lang seemed not to understand, but luckily Cold-Blooded Fifth pulled him back.
"Silly girl, stop talking. Princess Longji doesn't like being at odds with you, even if it's just talk." Cold-Blooded Fifth seemed to have become smarter this time, as if she had come to this realization.
Just now, she and Ye Lang were almost on opposite sides, which was something she didn't want!
"Oh..." Ye Lang replied.
"Hey, can you let me continue speaking!" Vermilion Bird Emperor found that he was often interrupted when talking to Ye Lang, either because Ye Lang was distracted or because Princess Longji interrupted him.
"Excuse me, please tell me!" Ye Lang said politely.
"Ye Lang, since we're practically family, can you give me your Magic Cube? I can give you double the price!" Vermilion Bird Emperor asked. He still wanted the Magic Cube's Cube; that was the reason he kept Ye Lang around.
"Oh, that's what you mean! No way!! And we're not family!!" Ye Lang refused and added.
"..." The Vermilion Bird Emperor frowned. Why was this kid so difficult to deal with?
"What are you talking about? What Magic Cube?" Princess Longji asked curiously.
"It's a Magic Cube belonging to Pirate King Jack. That kid spent 300,000 to snatch it from Lao Ba at the auction house," Vermilion Bird Emperor said somewhat helplessly.
"You spent 300,000 on a Magic Cube! You little Prodigal Son, you're still so wasteful! But since your father was willing to pay double the price, it must be a good thing. It seems you've made a profit again!" Princess Longji said with a smile.
"Hmph!" Ye Lang said unhappily.
"Alright, alright, Father, what do you want this Magic Cube for? It's not just for Pirate King Jack's treasure, is it? You wouldn't care about that, and you wouldn't stoop down to discuss it with your brother!" Princess Longji said bluntly. At this moment, only a few people remained in the room, all of whom were Vermilion Bird Emperor's family.
At this point, you can say whatever you want without holding back!
Therefore, the Vermilion Bird Emperor revealed the answer, "You should know that our Dragon family has several family heirlooms, such Vermilion Bird Feather Garment and the Vermilion Bird Sword, and you are familiar with their power. But you may not know that in front of one thing, these two are nothing at all! And that thing is the lost Vermilion Bird Blood Jade!!"
"Vermilion Bird Blood Jade?" Princess Longji frowned. She seemed to have heard of it, but she wasn't very clear about it. The others were in a similar situation, and some had never even heard of it before.
"According to historical records, Vermilion Bird Blood Jade is formed from the blood of the Vermilion Bird. It is as crystal clear as other high-quality jade, the only difference being its blood-red color! It is said that because Vermilion Bird Blood Jade is formed from the blood of the Vermilion Bird, it has the healing effect of bringing the dead back to life and reviving flesh and bones, making it a divine artifact that many people dream of!!"
"At the same time, there is also a legend that there is a very mysterious pattern engraved on this Vermilion Bird Blood Jade, which allows the person who possesses this Blood Jade to unleash extremely powerful fire magic, and anyone can use it without causing any damage! However, so far, no one knows how to use it!!"
"However, as a fire-type amplification item, this Vermilion Bird Blood Jade is also very powerful, after all, it is formed from the blood of the Vermilion Bird!!"
These words basically explain the importance of the Vermilion Bird Blood Jade. It's not just a family heirloom of the Vermilion Bird Empire; it also possesses unpredictable and mysterious powers, although these are just rumors and their veracity cannot be confirmed!
At this moment, everyone in the room was stunned, looking at the person who said these words with strange eyes, except for Princess Longji and Cold-Blooded Fifth.
If these words came from the Vermilion Bird Emperor, it would be perfectly logical and there would be no surprise. But these words did not come from the Vermilion Bird Emperor; they came from Ye Lang!
Ye Lang recounted the story of the Vermilion Bird Blood Jade as if it were a familiar treasure, which surprised everyone, especially the Vermilion Bird Emperor. Princess Longji and Cold-Blooded Fifth were not surprised, one because they knew Ye Lang would know these strange things, and the other because they felt it was normal and nothing to be surprised about.
Although Ye Lang was a bit confused, his achievements in alchemy made Cold-Blooded Fifth think he was an extraordinary person!
"According to historical records, the Vermilion Bird Blood Jade hasn't appeared for over a thousand years, and that's exactly the time when Pirate King Jack was active. You didn't get robbed by him, did you?!" Ye Lang continued.
"..."
Is this kid shrewd or just confused? Based on historical records, he was able to guess so much. It seems that he only knew that Pirate King Jack had another treasure because he read some books, and that this Magic Cube was the key to that treasure.
It seems that An Qi's son is no ordinary person!
"That's right, the Vermilion Bird Blood Jade was taken away by Pirate King Jack, but it wasn't stolen!" Vermilion Bird Emperor said.
"Huh, could the rumors be true?" Ye Lang suddenly said, looking at the Vermilion Bird Emperor with great interest.
"... You even know that?" Vermilion Bird Emperor was somewhat exasperated.
"What rumors?" Princess Longji asked.
"I read in the diary of Pirate King Jack that there are rumors that he's not an ordinary Pirate King Jack, but a fallen Young Master, because he possesses the manners and demeanor of an upper-class nobleman and is highly educated!" Ye Lang said. "A rogue isn't scary; what's scary is a cultured rogue. It seems this saying also applies to pirates!"
"A noble Young Master? And he was able to take away the Vermilion Bird Blood Jade, so he might not be just a noble Young Master! And the reason he became a pirate is not simple either!" Princess Longji frowned and looked at Vermilion Bird Emperor.
"Ahem, those are all things of the past, let's not dwell on them. Now that you know the truth, Ye Lang, could you give me that Magic Cube? I can compensate you!" Vermilion Bird Emperor asked.
"No!" Ye Lang still refused to give it up. What does your family heirloom have to do with me?
"Father, let me handle this. If you keep doing this, this little rascal will never give it to you!" Princess Longji shook her head. This matter was very important to the empire, so she had no choice but to get involved.
