"About this number."

Qing Ya smiled and gestured with her hand.

Gu Yunxiao nodded slightly and said nothing more.

"Young Master Yunxiao, what is Dragon City like?" Qing Ya asked curiously.

"Do you want to ask about Dragon City, or Dragon God Hall?" While waiting, Gu Yunxiao was also interested in chatting with Qing Ya to pass the time.

"To be honest, Young Master Yunxiao..."

Qing Ya smiled and continued, "Our Starlight Auction House intends to open branches in well-known cities on the mainland. Dragon City has gained considerable fame recently, and we plan to do so there next."

"Her Highness intends for me to take charge, so I'd like to inquire with Young Master Yunxiao first."

"You're saying goodbye to the local bullies, right?" Gu Yunxiao chuckled.

"Young Master Yunxiao is not a local bully; he is True Dragon of the Dragon God Hall." Qing Ya shook her head, her face serious.

"Dragon City is not bad, but you should go and see for yourselves. Opening a branch is fine, just don't cause trouble," Gu Yunxiao said.

The entry of Starlight Auction House could certainly add some vibrancy to Dragon City.

Of course, covert surveillance is definitely necessary.

Once they sense something is wrong, the Dragon God Hall will neither drive them away nor slaughter them; instead, they will secretly take their place and reap the rewards.

"Thank you, Young Master Yunxiao."

Qing Ya smiled and thanked her, then thought for a moment before saying, "Young Master Yunxiao, are you free tonight? Qing Ya 'd like to invite you for a late-night snack."

"Hehe."

Gu Yunxiao chuckled, casually grasped Qing Ya's chin, and said meaningfully, "You don't look like you're about to have a midnight snack."

"... Young Master Yunxiao, to be honest, this is the first time Qing Ya has ever treated someone to a late-night snack." Qing Ya's voice was slightly shy.

After all these years, Gu Yunxiao is the first boy who made her take the initiative.

Firstly, she did indeed have the idea of currying favor with others.

Secondly, she genuinely liked Gu Yunxiao.

"There's still plenty of time, let's talk about it another day." Gu Yunxiao chuckled, released Qing Ya, stood up, and walked to the door.

He sensed that someone was already approaching.

The blush on Qing Ya's face slowly faded, and she stood obediently behind Gu Yunxiao.

The next moment, a knock sounded at the door, but before it could be heard more than a few times, Gu Yunxiao opened it.

"Um?"

Xu Jiawei was somewhat surprised to see Gu Yunxiao in front of him, but he still maintained a smile, "Young Master Yunxiao, hello."

Xu Jiujiu, standing behind him, stared at Gu Yunxiao with a resentful and angry look in her eyes, a blush flashing across her face as if she were trying to express something.

Gu Yunxiao glanced at him, then looked at Xu Jiawei before him and nodded. "Your Majesty the Emperor."

"As expected of the Young Master of the Dragon God Hall, seeing him today, I am truly amazed." Xu Jiawei sighed, and in his heart, he had to admit that Gu Yunxiao had a handsome face.

With that face alone, even without talent or a privileged background, he could easily steal away many women.

Your Majesty is too kind.

Gu Yunxiao smiled faintly.

Xu Jiawei didn't say much, but instead had a Titled Douluo behind him present the embryo, "Young Master Yunxiao, this is Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo."

"Hmm." Gu Yunxiao looked at Liang Yan, then took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Xu Jiawei, "Your Majesty, please take a look."

Xu Jiawei took it, checked the number of Gold Soul Coin, and finally nodded.

Both parties exchanged goods and money, completing the transaction with smiles on their faces.

The Dragon God Hall didn't really care about Gold Soul Coin; they just saw them as a currency for purchasing things, and that was the proper way to use them.

The Star Luo Empire, on the other hand, needs Gold Soul Coin, as they are crucial for various expenses and can no longer be simply described as 'currency'.

The same thing can have different values depending on the needs.

"Demon Dragon."

Gu Yunxiao called out softly.

The next moment, a purple figure appeared beside Gu Yunxiao and respectfully bowed. "Young Master."

Upon witnessing this scene...

Xu Jiawei and the others were shocked, especially the four Titled Douluo, who looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, their expressions extremely solemn.

This woman is definitely Super Douluo, and not just any ordinary Super Douluo!

"Let me introduce you. This is the Fourth Offering of my Dragon God Hall, whose title is Demon Dragon." Gu Yunxiao smiled slightly, intentionally trying to intimidate.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Demon Dragon!"

The four Titled Douluo immediately called out respectfully.

Xu Jiawei nodded with utmost respect, showing no airs of royalty whatsoever.

Zi JI merely nodded slightly, her expression indifferent.

"Demon Dragon, take this back to the Dragon God Hall. If you encounter any obstacles along the way, kill them without mercy." Gu Yunxiao handed the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo to Zi JI.

He'll deal with this thing slowly after the competition ends and he returns to the Dragon God Hall.

"Yes, Young Master." Zi JI responded, took the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo, and disappeared in a flash.

Xu Jiawei and the others watched in astonishment.

Zi JI's strength is too great. Although she didn't show much of her aura, the subtle yet powerful pressure emanating from her was terrifying.

Moreover, what's most terrifying is Zi JI's attitude towards Gu Yunxiao; it's far too respectful.

Even if Gu Yunxiao is the Young Master, Zi JI is also a powerful figure, so this shouldn't be the case... There must be some hidden reason behind this.

"Your Majesty, Jiujiu, I'll be taking my leave now." Gu Yunxiao smiled slightly and left through the secret passage of the VIP room.

Xu Jiawei was smiling and nodding when he suddenly sensed something was wrong. He subconsciously glanced at Xu Jiujiu: "Gu Yunxiao is calling you... Jiujiu?"

The others also realized what was happening and stared at him strangely for Xu Jiujiu.

Feeling embarrassed under the gaze of so many people, she blushed Xu Jiujiu. But she still tried to remain calm and said, "Royal brother, I felt it was too formal for him to call me 'Your Highness,' so I had him call me by my name."

"Is that so...?"

Xu Jiawei nodded, his gaze sharpening again as he subconsciously looked at a Storage Ring on Xu Jiujiu's hand.

The Storage Ring was quite ordinary in design, but he remembered that Storage Ring hadn't looked like this for Xu Jiujiu, and this style seemed somewhat similar to the one Gu Yunxiao had given him earlier...

Xu Jiujiu noticed Xu Jiawei's gaze, subtly withdrew his hand, his eyes darting around, and he inexplicably felt guilty.

In an instant, Xu Jiawei understood something, and a genuine smile appeared on his face.

This news is much better than 300 million Gold Soul Coin.

"Jiujiu, that's good."

Xu Jiawei's smile was somewhat intriguing, and his voice was even more meaningful.

Xu Jiujiu looked embarrassed, her face flushed with shyness, and she was internally cursing, "Gu Yunxiao, it's all your fault! You've made me look so awkward!"

She had every reason to suspect that Gu Yunxiao did it on purpose!

She had been calling her "Your Highness" the whole time, but now she suddenly used the more Jiujiu "Jiujiu"... Although she was happy, the occasion was clearly inappropriate.

The next day, early morning.

The weather was sunny, Star Luo Plaza was packed with people, even more than before; as far as the eye could see, it was a sea of black.

Even with a ticket costing only one Gold Soul Coin per person, the Star Luo Empire could still make a fortune.

Without a doubt, the Shrek Team, as the reigning champions, were once again the first to perform, enjoying the spotlight.
