Douluo Continent: Invincible from Being Forced into Marriage by a Goddess

Calling it spending money like water would not be an exaggeration!

Not only did the shop owner's eyes light up, even Su Bei felt envious. Wasn't this exactly the kind of fair-skinned, beautiful, wealthy woman keeping him that he had always dreamed of?

This scene was like a rich woman madly in love with him buying him a luxury car!

In truth, Douluo Continent had a severe wealth gap.

Because Notting City was located in a remote area, the average income was very low, and people could barely make ends meet.

Only those at the top of the pyramid lived exceptionally prosperous lives.

The empire had taken no action regarding this situation.

Instead, Spirit Hall provided subsidies to commoners to sustain their normal lives.

Before long, a magnificent carriage with gleaming saddles was led before them.

Droplets like pearls after rain slid across the crystalline white marble carriage frame. The scorching sun and the clattering wheels were reflected on the smooth floorboards.

It was wrapped in silk on all sides, with gem-studded windows trimmed in gold thread and covered by pale velvet gauze curtains. It looked novel and clean.

It was obvious that the shop had carefully maintained it every day.

Especially the fine horses before the carriage, bound with several black iron chains. Their hooves shook the ground, their eyes swept in every direction—what imposing majesty!

"These are two three-thousand-year-old Hanoverian White Horses. Combined with these luxurious ornaments, this is the highest-grade carriage in our shop."

The shop owner introduced it, "Hanoverian White Horses are a noble breed among riding horses. It is said that a trace of Ancient White Dragon Horse blood flows through them. They are extremely difficult to tame and capture. A Soul Emperor from Spirit Hall happened to be hunting nearby and sold them to our Treasure Horse Hall in Notting City. Otherwise, it would be difficult for a place like ours to obtain such fine specimens!"

"However..."

The shop owner showed a troubled expression. "We would not dare slight a Soul Sage, which is why we are willing to offer up this Hanoverian White Horse carriage. But even after several months of training by our horse trainers, they still display astonishing arrogance. If Your Excellency does not mind, when I remove their shackles later, I will need Your Excellency to suppress them."

Su Bei secretly curled his lip. This shop owner was truly shrewd. This Hanoverian White Horse carriage did sound incredibly prestigious, and within Notting City, it was probably the most suitable one for their status.

But likewise, the owner had said that they could not fully tame them. In other words, they did not dare sell them to anyone else, so he was trying to smooth-talk Liu Erlong into taking this troublesome burden.

If she refused, the shop could simply replace it. Their sincerity would already have been shown.

If she accepted, the shop would make a profit and get rid of this mess. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?

The two Hanoverian White Horses raised their heads. Their majestic forms displayed immense confidence and pride, their powerful muscles twitching.

One look was enough to tell that they were top-quality Hanoverian horses.

Liu Erlong was in a hurry to return to Heaven Dou City. Seeing the owner's good attitude, she nodded. "I'll take this carriage. Remove the chains quickly. With me here, they won't dare act out."

A mere three thousand years of cultivation was nothing to fear in Liu Erlong's eyes.

Sure enough, when the owner removed the Soul Beast shackles, the two Hanoverian White Horses neighed and reared up, their front hooves rising toward the sky as though they could shatter the floorboards when they came down.

Liu Erlong snorted. The power of a Soul Sage pressed down directly upon them, and they immediately went quiet, not daring to move in the slightest.

"Baa~" The dignified and mighty Hanoverian White Horses actually made frail sounds like sheep.

The owner sighed inwardly. As expected of a Soul Sage. Her strength is truly formidable. Being able to serve a Soul Sage means my entire career has been worthwhile!

The Heaven Dou Empire possessed ten provinces. Heaven Dou Royal directly controlled five of them, while four kingdoms and one duchy each controlled one province.

Fanos Province was a directly governed province of the Heaven Dou Empire, bordering the Heaven Dou Royal Province.

The Hanoverian White Horses moved at a very good pace. Although Liu Erlong considered the hardship of travel for her precious children and did not want them to suffer too much, stopping from time to time, they soon reached the territory governed by Heaven Dou City.

Finding a forest spring, Liu Erlong reined in the horses and smiled at Su Bei and Xiao Wu. "We have traveled for three hours. We will reach Heaven Dou City soon. I'll get some spring water to quench your thirst."

"Thank you, Godmother." Su Bei grinned, his smile utterly charming.

Xiao Wu stroked one of the fine horses. "Be good, little horse. You'll have water soon. The spring water in the forest is very healthy. Xiao Wu likes drinking that white, sticky liquid that forms in the early morning the most. It's so sweet."

Liu Erlong smiled in satisfaction at the sight. Holding a silver glass bottle, her figure flashed, and she arrived in the distance, where cool spring water continuously welled up from the earth.

"Xiao Wu, be careful."

Su Bei rubbed Xiao Wu's head. Her tiny body was truly insignificant compared to the size of these two Hanoverian White Horses.

A light bump from them would probably send her flying into the sky.

"Brother, it's fine. I think I can feel what they're feeling. They don't want to be restrained by humans. They want to return to the world of Soul Beasts. When we reach that place called Heaven Dou City, shall we let them go?"
