As night falls, Heaven Dou City lights begin to light up, and the lights of thousands of houses complement each other with the stars in the sky, making this city that never sleeps even more dazzling and charming.
The hotel's superior guest rooms are brightly lit by candlelight.
Ye Qing, Sea Dragon Douluo, and Ah Yin were sitting around the round table, handling the delicacies in front of them while conducting this important battle meeting related to Heart of the Sea God.
The atmosphere is... slightly weird.
Ye Qing scooped up a spoonful of fresh fish soup with a small spoon, blew on it, then raised his head, looked at Sea Dragon Douluo opposite, and said calmly:
"Uncle Sea Dragon, I heard Lord Sea God mention that Heart of the Sea God... should be in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's... treasure house now."
"What? Treasure house? Are you sure? No way?"
He put down his chopsticks and looked Ye Qing up and down with a look in his eyes to see if you were kidding me.
Although he has never seen Heart of the Sea God, and this is the first time he has heard of it, he also knows that it must be extraordinary.
After all, no matter how you say it, Heart of the Sea God is a thing of the gods.
So here comes the question. Logically speaking, if Heaven Dou Imperial Family guys really get this kind of treasure, shouldn't they enshrine it like an ancestral tablet, or hide it in the most secret and safest place, or even... just let the tallest old guy Soul Power carry it with him and keep it warm day and night?
How could... just throw it away in a place like a treasure house?
Although he is a martial artist and his mind sometimes doesn't work that fast, he still has basic common sense and logic.
The preciousness of treasures related to gods is simply not comparable to that of ordinary Soul Bone Soul Tool.
Heaven Dou Imperial Family No matter how stupid he is, he wouldn't throw this kind of artifact that may contain the secret of becoming a god or have terrifying power into a warehouse, right?
Ye Qing rolled his eyes at Sea Dragon Douluo's fussing and explained angrily:
"Uncle Sea Dragon, can you please use your brain, which may be a little rusty after being soaked in sea water for a long time?"
"Is there a possibility... Heaven Dou Imperial Family's group of people, they don't even know that that thing is Heart of the Sea God?"
He slowly took another sip of fish soup before continuing:
"As far as I know, the treasure we call Heart of the Sea God has another name in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, or in mainland records, called - Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud."
"A top-notch Soul Tool with special abilities. That's all."
Ye Qing put down the spoon, with an undisguised and slightly sarcastic smile on his face:
"Perhaps a long, long time ago, the ancestors of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, or some knowledgeable and powerful people, vaguely knew that this thing was somehow related to Sea God, and might even have tried to use it. But thousands of years have passed, the sea has changed, inheritance has been broken down, and the gods have become legends..."
He snorted softly, with a tone of disdain that you ordinary people don't understand:
"Now Heaven Dou Imperial Family, I am afraid that Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud has long been regarded as an antique Soul Tool that is special and has some historical value, but may not be of great practical use. It is remarkable. It is only used as a decoration on certain special occasions, such as when worshiping the late emperor or displaying the royal heritage."
"So, isn't it normal to put it in a royal treasury that is heavily guarded but is ultimately a warehouse, rather than being carried around by a strong person at all times?"
Ye Qing looked at Sea Dragon Douluo's face that gradually became enlightened but still had a hint of doubt, and finally concluded:
"In this way, wouldn't the safety factor of our trip be much higher? Even if we succeed, they may not be able to immediately discover that Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is missing for a while! After all, under normal circumstances, that piece of crap may not be taken out for a few years or more than ten years. When they find something is wrong and start to trace..."
Ye Qing spread his hands and showed a sly smile:
"We have long been on a boat, drinking coconut juice, returning to Sea God Island, a place with beautiful scenery and isolation from the world, enjoying the sun and beaches. Where are they going to find us?"
Sea Dragon Douluo listened to Ye Qing's succinct and logical analysis, and nodded first.
Then he seemed to have thought of something and asked:
"That's what you say, and it sounds reasonable. But the question is... if we ask for it, will Heaven Dou Imperial Family give it to us?"
He had an expression on his face. "Are you thinking too beautifully?"
"We Sea God Island and Heaven Dou Imperial Family have nothing to do with each other. We didn't have any friendship before, and we probably won't have any in the future. Why should I give you something from my family's treasure house, even an antique, for free? Just because you look cute and are the heir of Sea God?"
Ye Qing Hearing this, he directly put down the bowl in his hand.
Then he raised his head, looked at Sea Dragon Douluo with his extremely clear eyes, and looked at Sea Dragon Douluo with a look that looked like "caring for mentally retarded children", and asked:
"Uncle Sea Dragon, what's in your head... couldn't it be all sea water? Or are you suffering from the sequelae of Tang Hao's hammer? Can you... be a little normal and think about the problem?"
"If it were you, you have an antique at home that you don't know the exact value, but it looks pretty good and has been passed down for many years. Suddenly, a kid you don't know comes and tells you that this thing is from my family. Please give it back to me. Will you give it to me? Do you think this kid has a brain problem or wants to defraud?"
Sea Dragon Douluo was choked speechless by Ye Qing's barrage of questions, and his old face turned a little red.
When he thought about it carefully, it seemed...
This is indeed the truth.
He wouldn't give it to me in my place.
At this moment, Ah Yin, who had been quietly eating his food next to him, as if he didn't exist, suddenly put down his chopsticks gently.
She raised her eyes as blue as a lake and as gentle as water, and looked at Ye Qing who was speechless.
Then he looked at Sea Dragon Douluo who was embarrassed and scratching his head.
After hesitating for a moment, she reminded her softly in a soft and pleasant voice:
"Senior... if I guess correctly... Xiaoqing's intention may not be to ask for..."
She paused, as if a little embarrassed to speak.
But looking at Sea Dragon Douluo's still confused eyes, he still bit the bullet and added the second half of the sentence softly:
"... but... steal."
"After all, things are placed in a treasure house, not carried around and cared for by a powerful Soul Master. As long as we plan carefully, move carefully and quickly enough, and don't alert too many guards, maybe... there will be a chance to take the things away without anyone noticing. Then, before they can react, we have enough time to leave Heaven Dou City, or even leave Heaven Dou Empire."
After Ah Yin finished speaking, a slight blush appeared on her fair cheeks, as if she felt a little embarrassed for saying the word "steal" to herself.
But her analysis is really reasonable, and her tone is gentle, which makes people not angry.
"Steal?" Sea Dragon Douluo's eyes widened suddenly, and his voice unconsciously rose a little higher.
He looked at Ah Yin, then at Ye Qing, as if he suddenly understood.
But then, he seemed to have thought of something. Almost subconsciously and without thinking, he blurted out a stupid question that made Ye Qing and Ah Yin freeze instantly and almost spit out the food in their mouths:
"Then... who is going to steal it?"
The air froze instantly.
