The Crown Prince Visits Again, Qian Renxue Is Utterly Shocked!

Dugu Bo counted again and again in disbelief.

Eight digits—an entire ten million Contribution Points!

Chen Xun had worked tirelessly, completing several missions in succession, yet had only earned a total of eight million Contribution Points.

Dugu Bo, on the other hand, had merely lifted a finger and received such an astonishing sum.

One had to know,

this was only a portion of the immortal herbs and rare medicinal plants.

If he exchanged all the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Contribution Points he earned would likely increase by another four or five times at the very least!

How could Dugu Bo's current mood possibly be described with a single word like satisfying?

Not Just Targeting the Poison God: @So Handsome They Chop Me, just as you said, Fellow Daoist, the herbs in this old man's medicinal garden are indeed extremely valuable. I only sold a portion of them, yet received a full ten million Contribution Points!

Not Just Targeting the Poison God: Many thanks for showing this old man the way, Fellow Daoist. I will remember this favor forever. If you ever have need of this old man in the future, just speak up. I will never refuse! (Rose) (Rose) (Rose)

After thanking Chen Luo, Dugu Bo left the group chat and opened Myriad Worlds Mall instead, browsing through its dazzling array of treasures.

Just moments ago, he could only stare longingly at those unattainable rare treasures through the screen.

But now that he held ten million Contribution Points, what suitable treasure could he not exchange for?

He was still at the Titled Douluo realm, and the treasures in the mall suited for this stage were not particularly expensive to him.

Besides,

if he truly ran short on points, he could simply sell another portion of his immortal herbs.

Dugu Bo did not have much of anything, but he had plenty of herbs!

"I should find a suitable poison cultivation technique first and deal with the deadly poison inside Yan Yan and me..."

Inside the bookstore.

"Senior Poison God seems to have gone offline. He must have gone to Myriad Worlds Mall to choose some treasures, right?"

Chen Xun put down the Myriad Laws Mirror in his hand and muttered softly.

Following Chen Luo's suggestion earlier, he had asked Dugu Bo to reserve a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum for him.

Among the many immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was precisely the one most suitable for his current cultivation needs.

Inside the bookstore.

"Ah, I suddenly feel like taking on missions. Without Contribution Points, all I can do is stare longingly at the treasures in the mall. It really makes my heart itch."

Chen Xun could not help but sigh.

Without realizing it, he had become enamored with the thrill of this "shopping" as well.

Chen Luo smiled faintly at his words.

Once he revived Tang Chen, he would naturally have plenty of missions for Chen Xun to do.

There was no rush for now.

Just then, the bookstore door was pushed open.

"Boss, I have come to trouble you again."

Xue Qinghe entered the store with a smile, followed by Snake Lance Douluo, who was dressed in ordinary clothing.

Ever since witnessing Chen Luo's strength last time, Snake Lance Douluo no longer dared let the young mistress come alone.

Xue Qinghe's gaze shifted to the white-haired old man sitting opposite Chen Luo, and a trace of surprise crossed his face.

"Boss, I didn't expect there to be... other customers here as well?"

Hearing the surprise in his words, Chen Luo's eye twitched slightly as he replied calmly,

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the way you put that makes it sound as though my bookstore never has any customers."

"Doesn't it?"

Xue Qinghe looked utterly puzzled.

Chen Luo: ...

Fine, you saw right through it.

"Crown Prince..."

Chen Xun swept a glance at Xue Qinghe from the corner of his eye. There was little emotion on his face, as though he did not care much about this His Highness the Crown Prince.

Yet one person in the room had suddenly become extremely unsettled.

Snake Lance Douluo stared fixedly at the white-haired old man sitting calmly at the table and leisurely sipping tea. His heart pounded like a drum, cold sweat continuously seeped down his back, and his face gradually turned pale.

Noticing something was wrong with him, Xue Qinghe sent a low voice transmission.

"What is it?"

Snake Lance Douluo swallowed with difficulty. Unable to suppress the tremble in his voice, he sent back,

"Young... Young Mistress, that white-haired old man seems to be Sword Douluo's grandfather, Sword Master Chen Xun."

By Qian Renxue's orders, Snake Lance Douluo had returned to Spirit Hall over the past few days, and had naturally seen Chen Xun battle Qian Daoliu.

The instant the name Sword Master Chen Xun entered his ears,

Xue Qinghe's heart abruptly tightened!

Chen Xun?

The man who defeated Grandfather?

Why... was he in this bookstore?

And judging by how pleasantly he was conversing with the boss, the two seemed to share a close relationship.

Xue Qinghe forcibly suppressed the shock and panic in his heart, doing his best to keep his expression calm.

The man before him was a Peerless Douluo who had even defeated his grandfather, Qian Daoliu.

If he saw through her true identity, then even if she had three heads and six arms, there would be absolutely no chance of escape.

"Boss, I came today because I wanted to ask about part of the plot in The Return of the Condor Heroes..."

To prevent Chen Xun from growing suspicious, Xue Qinghe took the initiative to speak and steered the topic elsewhere.

Yet the instant those words left her mouth, a few traces of her true feelings inevitably slipped into her tone.

It was all that damn plot's fault.

It had kept her tossing and turning for several nights in a row, nearly driving her mad.

If she did not get a reasonable explanation today, then she... she...

Qian Renxue's thoughts suddenly froze.

Recalling the unfathomable strength the boss had displayed before,

she suddenly realized something.

It seemed that she

could do nothing at all.

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue grew even angrier.

Chen Luo looked at Qian Renxue, his gaze seeming to see through her thoughts as he slowly said,

"The stories in novels often originate from reality as well. Those seemingly bizarre plots may one day truly play out around you."

Qian Renxue heard him, but did not believe it.

At the very least, she had never seen such a thing with her own eyes.

How could a woman as aloof and otherworldly as Little Dragon Girl, with such profound cultivation, be defiled by someone like Yin Zhiping?

Moreover, how could a love affair as shocking as Yang Guo and Little Dragon Girl's exist in reality?

When she had read that part, Qian Renxue had even been unable to stop herself from wondering whether the author of The Return of the Condor Heroes had some peculiar fetish.

For instance, perhaps he liked being cuckolded.

Chen Luo naturally saw that she was unconvinced.

After all,

seeing was believing, while hearing was not.

When she learned certain truths one day, she would naturally understand how much truth there was in his words today.

"Young man, you must listen to your seniors."

"When it comes to broad knowledge, across the entire continent, I'm afraid there isn't a second person who can compare to Senior."

Suddenly, Chen Xun, who had been quietly drinking tea at the side, interjected.

Xue Qinghe's expression stiffened. Looking at Chen Xun with confusion, he asked,

"Senior... you mean?"

"The boss?"

Chen Xun set his teacup down on the table, shot Xue Qinghe a strange glance, and said flatly,

"Who else?"

"Didn't you come to this bookstore to ask the boss for guidance?"

After hearing Chen Xun's answer,

Xue Qinghe was completely thrown into disarray.

This Peerless Douluo who had once defeated her grandfather, a Rank 99 powerhouse,

actually called the bookstore owner "Senior"?

How... could that be possible?!
