After Xiao Hei and the other two left.
Elder Chu appeared beside the Crown Prince, his brows furrowed as he looked at the prince with a puzzled expression. "Your Highness, is it really worth giving them all nine dragon souls? You should know yourself that when the nine dragon souls converge in one body, a qualitative change will occur, condensing into the Yinglong Soul."
The crown prince's face twitched slightly, clearly indicating that he was also feeling some pain.
He was well aware of the immense power that the convergence of nine dragon souls would bring.
"I hope I didn't make the wrong bet. You should be able to see Xiao Hei's talent, not to mention that his fellow disciples are also extremely talented. Xiao Hei owes me a favor, which means that his fellow disciples also owe me a favor."
"Besides, he has already absorbed the Azure Dragon Soul. I can't unleash the full power of these eight dragon souls even if I keep them myself, so I might as well do him a favor."
Elder Chu nodded. "Since Your Highness has made up your mind, then this old man will not say any more."
But who could possibly know?
The Crown Prince's decision today turned out to be the most correct decision of his life.
Xiao Hei returned to the residence prepared by the Crown Prince and began absorbing the remaining eight dragon souls.
Mu Fusheng, on the other hand, came to the White Dragon Courtyard at the invitation of the authorities.
Jiu Bailu, nestled in a pavilion adorned with flowers, had been brewing fragrant tea and waiting for a long time.
Seemingly knowing that Mu Fusheng disliked having too many outsiders present, Jiu Bailu had no other maids serving her, letting her Sanqian strands of white hair fall to the ground.
"Come and have some tea."
Jiu Bailu smiled and gestured for them to proceed.
Mu Fusheng sat down, but didn't drink the tea until Jiu Bailu took a sip, at which point Mu Fusheng drank it with some skepticism.
So what do you want from me?
Getting straight to the point, Mu Fusheng didn't want to waste any more time with this woman.
Jiu Bailu didn't mind, and chuckled, "I just wanted to tell you in advance that two kinds of secret treasures will appear in the Southern Desert of the Heavenly Mystery Continent in thirty days."
"Of course, believe it or not, if your status at the Chaotic Spirit Academy is high enough, you'll probably be notified in about ten days."
"One of the secret treasures is related to talismans; it's a Demigod- level talisman brush."
Mu Fusheng's pupils suddenly contracted.
Although the Holy Talisman Mystic Thunder Brush possesses growth attributes.
However, its growth rate has now stagnated.
The reason is simple: the materials can no longer support the growth of the talisman brush.
If Mu Fusheng could possess a Demigod- level talisman brush, it would greatly enhance his talisman-making skills.
Mu Fusheng looked at Jiu Bailu and asked, "Then why did you tell me in advance?"
"Knowing your personality beforehand will give you more time to prepare," Jiu Bailu said with a smile, her stunning eyes gleaming with a piercing golden light. "And you'll probably be there too, won't you?"
"No, I'm not going."
Mu Fusheng was direct! Without any hesitation! He didn't give Jiu Bailu any chance to react!
Refuse outright!
Jiu Bailu was also slightly taken aback.
This was the first time anyone had ever made her make that expression.
"Why?"
Mu Fusheng smiled and said, "If you hadn't told me about this, I might have gone, but the way you seem to know exactly what I'm doing makes me a little uncomfortable."
puff!
"Just because of that?" Jiu Bailu couldn't help but chuckle, covering her mouth as she said, "Isn't that making a mountain out of a molehill?"
"It's not that I'm making a mountain out of a molehill. I'm just naturally cautious, as you should be able to tell."
The Jiu Bailu nodded.
Mu Fusheng continued, "Then I can't possibly follow someone's lead when they've already completely guessed my intentions."
"You don't want that Demigod- level talisman brush either?" Jiu Bailu's smile seemed to overflow; this was the first time she had ever met a man with this kind of personality.
There's a saying...
When you become curious about a man, that's the beginning of falling in love...
"It seems your talisman brush is somewhat lagging behind your level of skill."
"What level am I at? My current level is more than enough for this talisman brush, so there's no need for Your Highness to worry."
joke.
Even if he needs a talisman pen, he can just ask his master for one!
He refused to believe that his master, with his level of strength and cultivation, couldn't create a talisman brush that surpassed the level of Demigod.
Moreover... if Mu Fusheng's guess is correct.
It's likely that the Jiu Bailu will also participate in this Secret Realm event.
Then a bunch of people will stand by, looking on in astonishment, putting on exaggerated expressions as if they've never seen anything like it before, and start discussing it with Jiu Bailu.
Wow, the number one beauty of the Heavenly Mystery Continent actually came to this secret realm?
Oh, what was she thinking?
Oh, so it was all because of that brat Mu Fusheng!
Hey, let's take him down together!
You know what, you really shouldn't say it!
Mu Fusheng felt that the scene he had imagined in his mind was actually quite believable.
Jiu Bailu smiled and nodded, giving Mu Fusheng a meaningful look, and said, "I know you don't want to be bound by cause and effect... but no one can escape predetermined cause and effect."
Mu Fusheng stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Then I'll try it. Thank you for the tea, Your Highness. I'll be going now."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and hurriedly left without looking back.
Watching Mu Fusheng's retreating figure, Jiu Bailu couldn't help but chuckle.
The maid also entered at that moment.
The Jiu Bailu suddenly asked, "Am I not beautiful?"
The maid was taken aback, then quickly said, "Your Highness is the most beautiful woman in the Heavenly Mystery Continent, and even in the entire Chaos Realm, without any dispute."
Jiu Bailu asked again, "So, am I just bad-tempered or too fierce?"
The maid was somewhat puzzled, but still answered truthfully, "His Highness is kind and benevolent, treating everyone equally. If someone with such a bad character were to also be wicked, there would be no good people in the world."
Hearing these answers, Jiu Bailu tilted her head and asked in confusion, "But why did he act like he'd seen a monster the moment he saw me, as if he wanted to run away as fast as he could?"
The maid's expression also showed surprise, then she looked in the direction Mu Fusheng had left and angrily said, "How dare he be so disrespectful to His Highness! I'll go and bring him back right away!"
As she spoke, the maid was about to rush out.
Jiu Bailu waved her hand to stop him, then smiled and said, "Everyone has different opinions. Maybe I just happen to be the kind of person he likes."
Hearing Jiu Bailu say such a thing...
The maid's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Your Highness... could it be that..."
Jiu Bailu Egret chuckled and said, "How could that be? I was just expressing my feelings."
"After all, women are all prone to being materialistic. They're used to being flattered and don't care about such compliments at all, but if someone ignores them, they'll suddenly become curious about that man."
Jiu Bailu shook her head helplessly. "Even I would be the same."
The maids exchanged glances, none of them able to interject.
They noticed... ever since Mu Fusheng arrived, His Highness had become much more talkative...
