"System, do you have some kind of space for storing items?"

Su Mu silently called out in his mind, and the system screen lit up.

"Host requirement detected. Wallace Safe access has been activated."

"Would you like to spend 100 Gold Soul Coins to rent one safe slot?"

Seeing the "Please Pay" icon pop up on the system panel, Su Mu's face darkened.

This damn system could fulfill any request, but its only flaw was that it was greedy for money.

Changing into Wallace clothing cost money, upgrading the system cost money, and buying Hextech technology still cost money.

Now even opening a safe cost money, and it was only rented—it would expire.

But the Gold Soul Coins he had earned from selling fried chicken had already been spent.

As he spoke, Su Mu reached for the gemstone Soul Tool tucked into his pants pocket, and his consciousness sank into the mental space.

The intense golden light made his eyes hurt.

The pure white space was roughly the size of a bedroom.

Wardrobes and suitcases were crammed full, leaving only a narrow passage wide enough for one person to pass through.

Looking at the gorgeous outfits hanging one after another from the clothes racks, Su Mu could not help taking a few extra glances.

Although he had worn a long coat and trousers, along with armor, when he last met Princess Vina

the clothes here were all dresses and formal gowns, the kind that would be a feast for the eyes when worn.

Su Mu walked over to a suitcase beside him and opened the lid.

Gold Soul Coins. An entire suitcase full of Gold Soul Coins—more than a thousand, at least.

"What a shame. The system doesn't recognize these Gold Soul Coins."

"If it did, I dare say I could slaughter my way across Douluo Continent in three days."

Su Mu grabbed a handful of Gold Soul Coins regretfully.

"But it seems there aren't a million Gold Soul Coins here either."

Su Mu counted the suitcases. Each could hold around a thousand coins, and there were only about ten of them here.

Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins—still nowhere near the supposed million.

"Tsk. Tsk tsk, I got fooled."

"I thought there really were a million Gold Soul Coins."

"So that robber never inspected it on the spot."

"But that made sense. With the layout of this space, even if he had checked, he wouldn't have found them."

Before Su Mu could finish inventorying the supplies inside, he spotted a smaller wooden box beside the wooden table.

It was entirely pitch-black, seemingly made of sandalwood and capable of isolating its aura.

"This thing? It was placed here separately. Could there be some treasure inside?"

Su Mu stepped forward and carefully picked up the wooden box.

Looking at the carved patterns on it and the clasp that could be opened with a light flick, he reached out and flipped it.

A brilliant light shone out from within, and a pale blue, bone-like object appeared in his hand.

This was a head soul bone!

Its age was low, only a few thousand years at most—less than ten thousand.

Beneath the soul bone was a dark card.

Looking at the Gold Soul Coin pattern engraved on it, Su Mu did not know much about Gold Soul Coin cards, but it was almost certainly one.

Su Mu pinched the card, which was as thin as a cicada's wing.

"Or maybe there really are a million Gold Soul Coins here, but even if I stole them, I couldn't spend them."

"I wonder where Princess Vina and the others were going, carrying a soul bone and a million Gold Soul Coins with them."

Su Mu put away the Gold Soul Coin card.

It was somewhat regrettable. If those had been physical Gold Soul Coins, he could have spent them without anyone noticing.

But now that they were stored on a Gold Soul Coin card, the moment he used it at a bank, he would be caught immediately.

And perhaps the card had already been frozen, making it impossible to use at all.

Su Mu felt a little regretful. The card worth a million was now no better than waste paper here, completely useless.

Looking at the sizable space, he figured that if he cleared everything out, the fried chicken cart would fit inside perfectly.

Meanwhile, inside the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial palace—

two figures were treating Princess Vina.

Emperor Xue Feng stood around his daughter, staring at her pale neck where the blood had dried into scabs, sighing endlessly.

"My good daughter, this was your father's fault. I should have sent more powerful people with you when you went to the Body Sect."

"I was careless."

Emperor Xue Feng's face was filled with grief.

After all, he had not thought things through. He believed the Body Sect was not far from Heaven Dou City, and with a troop of soldiers escorting her, nothing should have happened.

Yet before she had even left the city, his daughter had been seized by bandits and nearly lost her life.

"It's all right, Father."

"It was your daughter who was careless. I failed to notice someone hiding on top of the carriage."

"I messed this up."

As Vina spoke, her hand unconsciously fell to the spot on her chest where the Soul Tool had once hung.

Seeing this, Emperor Xue Feng understood.

"It's all right. What's lost is lost."

"Your father has already sent people to investigate thoroughly. The whole of Heaven Dou City will be searched. I imagine it won't be long before that man is caught and brought back to avenge you properly."

As Emperor Xue Feng spoke, he looked at his badly injured daughter and asked, "My good daughter, is there anything you like? Any novel little trinkets you want?"

"Your father will buy them for you."

"For the next while, recover properly. Don't go anywhere."

"The original plan to arrange a marriage alliance with the Body Sect can be put aside for now."

As Emperor Xue Feng spoke, only after his daughter was attacked today did he realize how much he treasured this precious daughter of his.

Sending her to marry those rough men of the Body Sect was truly too unfair to her.

With the marriage alliance plan shelved, they could only use other methods to make up for it and strengthen the relationship between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Body Sect.

He thought that, at worst, they could increase material shipments and energy supplies.

The Body Sect did not produce such resources through martial training, after all, and they were in dire need of them.

After giving a few instructions to the two guards beside him, Emperor Xue Feng had them lead him outside.

But after turning three or four times and arriving at a secluded courtyard, Emperor Xue Feng's expression instantly froze.

Xiong Jun Douluo, whom the Body Sect had sent to protect the imperial family, had been beaten into the shape of a basketball and stuffed directly into a water vat.

"Your Majesty, I have disappointed you."

"I came this time to report something important."

Bear Fist Douluo endured the pain throughout his body and spoke.

Emperor Xue Feng immediately ordered everyone to smash the water vat and rescue Xiong Jun Douluo.

Before seeing Emperor Xue Feng, no one had dared act rashly, afraid of harming this severely injured Super Douluo.

As Bear Fist Douluo released his Soul Power, his broken bones returned to their proper positions, and he used Soul Power to stabilize his injuries.

Bear Fist Douluo sat upright and said, "Your Majesty, today within the Heaven Dou Empire, I encountered a Titled Douluo of extraordinary strength."

"The other party was extremely young."

"I have already sent word to the Body Sect. Our sect master will be coming to the Heaven Dou Empire."

"For the next few days, I hope Your Majesty will ease up on military matters and refrain from acting aggressively."

"I suspect he is an assassin sent by another empire to assassinate Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Emperor Xue Feng swallowed hard.

Even the Sun Moon Empire had never received the treatment of having a Titled Douluo sent to assassinate its ruler.

His little Heaven Dou Empire might possess immense military strength, but it had the fewest Titled Douluo. Sending a Titled Douluo to kill him was giving him far too much credit.
