Dragon Ball

Baili Chuxue opened her spatial bag and looked inside, her expression somewhat puzzled.

Just then, Zhang Yunji announced the end of the banquet and ran back to see Baili Chuxue carrying a spatial bag. He couldn't help but squeeze over and ask curiously, "Is this a congratulatory gift from the shop owner?"

Baili Chuxue nodded, and said with a puzzled look, "Yes, but I don't know what this is either."

Hearing that there were things his daughter didn't know, Chang Kong took Baili Chuxue's spatial bag and looked inside.

Zhang Yunji, Baili Chuxue, Liu Ying all looked expectantly at the Chang Kong.

They were very interested in the congratulatory gift from the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore.

Chang Kong was somewhat bewildered when he saw what was inside the space bag. Inside was a small crystal bottle containing a tiny white bead that emitted a faint glow and was very beautiful.

Chang Kong took the beads out of his spatial bag, placed them in his palm, and showed them to everyone.

"What is this? A luminous pearl?" Zhang Yunji leaned closer and asked curiously.

"Could it be a high-level spiritual artifact?" Liu Ying speculated from the side.

Chang Kong frowned as he looked at the small bottle, then reached out with his other hand and poured the beads out of the bottle.

'Thump~'

The bead slid out of the bottle and fell into Chang Kong's hand, but it didn't fall directly into Chang Kong palm. Chang Kong, it floated above his palm, and the fluorescent light emanating from the white bead slowly drifted down and landed on Chang Kong's palm.

'Pop~'

A stream of pure Spiritual Power flowed directly into his body through Chang Kong's palm.

Chang Kong's face showed shock. He hurriedly grabbed the bead, quickly stuffed it back into the small bottle, handed it to Baili Chuxue, and said in a deep voice, "Put it away quickly."

The other three looked at each other in confusion, Baili Chuxue did as she was told, putting the small bottle into her spatial bag.

"Master, what exactly is this?" Seeing Baili Chuxue put away the small bottle, Chang Kong breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhang Yunji couldn't help but ask.

Chang Kong shook his head and looked into the mansion. In addition to the long tables set up along the ten-mile-long street, there were also tables set up inside the mansion for the banquet tonight. Those who were invited to sit inside the mansion were all top-notch figures. At this moment, through the gate, Chang Kong could vaguely sense that many of the important figures inside the mansion were looking in his direction. Obviously, the fluorescent light emitted by the bead earlier had startled these important figures.

Thinking of this, Chang Kong shook his head and said seriously, "Let's go greet the guests first, we'll talk about it later."

Having said that, Chang Kong strode into the mansion gate.

The three were left deep in thought.

Along this ten-mile-long street, Ma Feifei led Yun Qingyang on a continuous walk, trying to find a place to sit. They found that they had already passed dozens of tables, all of which were full of people, and there were no empty seats at all, which made him a little sad.

"Tsk tsk, Zhang Yunji's family really went all out today, it's a real fifth-tier spirit beast feast, each one looks so nourishing!" Ma Feifei said enviously, looking at the high-grade delicacies laid out on the table.

Yun Qingyang walked beside him, looking sullen; she had absolutely no interest in such delicacies and was still preoccupied with the Present she had just given him.

Seeing this, Ma Feifei couldn't help but comfort her, "It's alright, it's just a bead. I didn't mean to cheat you. It's just that I have a lot of valuable things on me, and it would be a waste to give them away as gifts."

"That bead is very valuable," Yun Qingyang replied seriously.

Ma Feifei curled her lip and said, "Forget it, it's just about calming the mind and speeding up cultivation. How valuable can it be? It's not even worth as much as an eighth-grade spiritual weapon."

Yun Qingyang's eyes widened, and she glared angrily, saying, "That's Dragon Ball!"

Ma Feifei rolled her eyes and said, "You've emphasized that dozens of times already, I know."

The bead that Ma Feifei gave to Baili Chuxue was called the Dragon Ball. At first, Ma Feifei was startled when he heard the name Dragon Ball, thinking it was something particularly powerful. Later, after listening to Yun Qingyang's explanation, he learned that the Dragon Ball had no rank. It was a Dragon Ball that Yun Qingyang condensed the essence of heaven and earth and was born every thousand years.

Besides calming the mind and accelerating training, the Dragon Ball also protect the wearer from water and fire, and prevent illness and disaster.

Simply put, if the Dragon Ball were in the possession of an ordinary person, they could ensure their lifelong peace and freedom from illness and disaster; but if they were in the possession of a cultivator, they could only increase their cultivation speed.

Giving swords or similar items as birthday gifts isn't appropriate; something that brings peace and health is much better. Besides, Yun Qingyang has too many Dragon Ball —more than ten in total—and since they're all gathered together, we can't make a wish with them, so what's the point of keeping them? Therefore, Ma Feifei thought of giving this to Baili Chuxue as a birthday Present.

But it's unclear whether Yun Qingyang has a natural affinity for sparkly things, or whether it's because the Dragon Ball fell from her body and she's absolutely against giving Dragon Ball away.

"Five million!" Yun Qingyang said.

Ma Feifei clapped his hands and pointed ahead, saying, "Look, there are seats available, just right for two people, let's go."

After saying that, Ma Feifei ignored Yun Qingyang and walked straight to the table with two empty seats.

The group of people Ma Feifei approached included: Fourth Prince Chu Liuxiang, Thirteenth Prince Chu Huaixiang, Zhou Zhuling and her siblings, Zhao Xiaodao, and Chu Hongyuan, a total of six people.

The scene was somewhat awkward, because the table originally only had Zhou Zhuling and her brother, Zhao Xiaodao and Chu Hongyuan. The two were Gongsun Qiong's subordinates, and the other two were Zhou Wuji's children. They had met at the Mysterious Bookstore and naturally ended up at the same table. Although their cultivation levels were not very high, their status was what it was, so many passing cultivators did not dare to sit at the same table with them. That is, until the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince arrived.

Tonight's banquet was originally arranged for the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince to be held at the Zhang Manor, after all, they are princes and are of extraordinary status; but for some reason, the two of them actually chose to run away and sit at Zhou Zhuling's table.

The atmosphere was originally very harmonious, and everyone was having a pleasant conversation. Now, however, everyone fell silent, some staring blankly with their heads down, others looking around. In short, whoever spoke first felt awkward.

The arrival of Ma Feifei and Yun Qingyang instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince frowned as they watched the two middle-aged men approaching. Chu Hongyuan looked wary, Zhou Guanyu looked somewhat surprised, while Zhou Zhuling and Zhao Xiaodao didn't react much, only glancing at the two of them with surprise.

Ma Feifei was also a little puzzled! Why were all the acquaintances at this table? What if she was exposed? But looking at her own attire, she felt that she shouldn't be discovered. Besides, she had only seen these two seats so far, so she made up her mind and walked over.

"Greetings, everyone." Ma Feifei led Yun Qingyang to the empty seats, greeted the people in front of him, clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, "Let me introduce myself, I am Jade-Faced Little White Dragon, and this is my younger brother Jade-Faced Little Flying Dragon."

After Ma Feifei finished speaking, he winked at Yun Qingyang. Yun Qingyang reluctantly clasped his hands in a fist and said coldly, "Fine."

"Hello," Zhou Zhuling stood up and replied softly.

Zhao Xiaodao also stood up to return the greeting. Zhou Guanyu originally didn't want to get up. The two burly men were both at the Spirit Ancestor realm, only slightly stronger than him, but much older. They were usually ordinary people, not from the same world as a genius like Zhou Guanyu. However, seeing his sister stand up, he couldn't remain seated. He stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and said in a flat tone, without any emotion or hostility, "Greetings, both of you."

Chu Hongyuan shared the same attitude as Zhou Guanyu, but seeing Zhao Xiaodao get up, he could only stand up as well, clasp his hands in a fist salute, and remain silent.

As for the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Prince, neither of them made a move.

However, Ma Feifei didn't mind. After greeting Zhou Zhuling and the others, she pulled Yun Qingyang to sit down.

"Wait."

Suddenly, the Fourth Prince spoke, looking at Ma Feifei and Yun Qingyang, and said coldly, "Who gave you permission to sit down?"
