A Mysterious Attacker Targets the Snow Empress Embryo
After the auction, Bao Liang, led by Qing Ya, went to the backstage area of Starlight Auction House.
The person responsible for handing over the Snow Empress Embryo was none other than Xu Jiujiu.
She was still wearing her magnificent gold dress, and standing under the soft Soul Guidance Lamp, she appeared even more noble and elegant.
This was the first time Bao Liang had ever interacted with the princess of the Star Luo Empire at such close range.
It must be said that, as a royal princess, Xu Jiujiu was indeed raised to be exceptionally well.
If judged by outsiders, her beauty is comparable to that of Meng Hongchen.
Meng Hongchen has gained a touch more of the liveliness and playfulness of a girl next door.
Xu Jiujiu possesses a grace and elegance unique to royalty and nobility.
However...
Xu Jiujiu, this last gesture was like casting a flirtatious glance at a blind man.
In Bao Liang's eyes, Xu Jiujiu's charm was not as great as a single strand of Meng Hongchen's hair.
In terms of appeal, it's not even one ten-thousandth as good as the Snow Empress Embryo.
Thus, from the moment they met, Bao Liang's gaze remained fixed on the God Sealing Altar in Xu Jiujiu's hands.
Even Xu Jiujiu herself didn't give it a second glance.
Xu Jiujiu's smile froze slightly for a moment.
She believed that her looks, temperament, and manners were all top-notch.
Even those Titled Douluo who boasted of having seen countless beauties couldn't help but take a second look when they saw her.
But this little guy in front of me...
They really didn't take her seriously at all.
His eyes were only on the God Sealing Altar.
It was as if that object was more important than her, a living, breathing person.
A strange feeling flashed through Xu Jiujiu's mind.
But she was very well-mannered and did not lose her composure because of it.
A transaction is a transaction.
She doesn't need to make every buyer like her.
"Bao Liang."
Following the rules, Xu Jiujiu pushed the God Sealing Altar in front of Bao Liang.
Please confirm the item's condition and the seal status.
Bao Liang then withdrew his gaze.
He carefully inspected the God Sealing Altar.
After confirming that the embryo was intact and the seal was functioning properly, he nodded in satisfaction.
"No problem."
"Cash on delivery."
Xu Jiujiu, he gently raised his hand.
The staff completed the verification quickly.
One hundred and fifty million Gold Soul Coin were deducted from the Mingde Hall's Brilliant Supreme Savings Card.
Ownership of the God Sealing Altar was subsequently transferred to Bao Liang's name.
The whole process was swift and efficient.
Without any hesitation or delay.
He truly deserves to be called one of the few normal people in the original work.
I'm not obsessed with romance.
Very rare.
Bao Liang the Conferred God Sealing Altar and the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone into a specially made Storage Soul Tool. He checked it several more times to make sure there were no mistakes before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Thank you, Jiujiu.
She smiled slightly Xu Jiujiu.
"You're welcome."
"Congratulations to Bao Liang on winning tonight's final auction item."
After exchanging a few polite words, Bao Liang led Qing Ya away from backstage.
After watching Bao Liang's figure disappear at the end of the corridor, the smile on his face gradually faded Xu Jiujiu.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, quickly turned around, and walked into VIP box number one.
Inside the private room.
Xu Jiawei was sitting on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine.
"Elder brother."
She walked up to him Xu Jiujiu.
"The items have been handed over."
"It was bought by Bao Liang from the Sun Moon Team."
Xu Jiawei nodded slightly.
It was as if all of this was within his expectations.
"I see."
He put down his glass and said calmly, "Go and get ready."
"Once the competition ends, immediately launch a bounty campaign on the black market."
"A reward of 100 million Gold Soul Coin will be offered for the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo sold this time."
"Find something for our dear Hall Master Hongchen."
Xu Jiujiu, his eyes lit up slightly.
"I see."
She paused for a moment, then couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother, your plan is brilliant!"
"Not only did they use the God Sealing Altar to make Jing Hongchen resent the Level 9 Soul Engineer in the country, but they also managed to interfere with the development of the Mingde Hall, and even amassed a large amount of funds for ourselves."
"That's killing three birds with one stone!"
Xu Jiawei, however, showed no sign of smugness.
His face showed only deep helplessness.
"Jiujiu."
"If I had any other choice, I wouldn't want to use this method."
But time waits for no one.
"The Sun Moon Empire has become increasingly restless in recent years."
"After thousands of years of accumulation, their power has become increasingly terrifying."
"War could break out at any time."
I listened quietly for Xu Jiujiu.
Xu Jiawei looked out the window at the brightly lit Star Luo City, his voice low.
All we ask for is to survive in the cracks.
"Cool!"
After leaving the Starlight Auction House, Bao Liang finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
He was overjoyed to have successfully obtained the Snow Empress Embryo.
I was already quite impatient.
As Heavenly Snow Woman has lived for 690,000 years, the Snow Empress has an extremely rich life experience.
Putting aside other factors...
The knowledge she has accumulated in her mind alone is priceless.
Now the Snow Empress Embryo has been obtained.
Meng Hongchen's future, like Bao Liang's and Xiao Hongchen's, has become completely bright.
It could even be said that her potential has far exceeded her original trajectory.
The issue we need to consider now is something else entirely.
How can we help Meng Hongchen obtain the Snow Empress's Martial Soul while simultaneously persuading the Snow Empress to cooperate with them?
After all, Snow Empress was not an ordinary Soul Beast embryo without consciousness.
She is one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.
She was once the Heavenly Snow Woman who stood at the very top of the Far North.
Getting her to willingly become Meng Hongchen's Martial Soul is by no means a simple matter.
However, Bao Liang was not worried.
There are always more solutions than problems.
As Bao Liang pondered this, he quickly walked out of the auction house.
Soon, he reunited with the Sun Moon Team members who were waiting outside.
Xiao Hongchen was the first to greet him.
He put his arm around Bao Liang's shoulder, his voice filled with excitement.
"You little brat."
"This isn't the surprise you mentioned before, is it?"
"If so, that would be a wonderful surprise."
Bao Liang chuckled.
"How about it?"
Is that surprising enough?
"Enough!"
Xiao Hongchen nodded vigorously.
Then he swung his arm with great flair.
"So."
"Today, everything is on me, Xiao Hongchen World!"
Bao Liang's eyes lit up, and he immediately put his arm around Xiao Hongchen's shoulder.
"OK!"
"Let us all share in Young Master Xiao's glory today!"
Xiao Hongchen's lips twitched.
"I have a feeling you're the biggest winner today?"
"I'll pay, and you're happy."
Is this reasonable?
Bao Liang looked serious.
"Reasonable."
You pay, I'll spend it for you.
"Why should we distinguish between each other, brothers?"
Xiao Hongchen: "..."
He suddenly realized that his earlier display of bravado had been somewhat unnecessary.
Meng Hongchen, holding Bao Liang's arm, smiled with her eyes crinkling.
I support Little Baozi.
"Smile, you look especially handsome today."
Xiao Hongchen was speechless for a moment.
Okay.
It was worth the money.
At least he still liked hearing his sister say that.
The other team members also gathered around.
They can't get involved in the auction.
But they absolutely cannot miss out on drinking heavily and eating heartily.
The group chatted and laughed as they walked along the street toward the hotel.
Even under the cover of night, Star Luo City remains bustling.
The shops on both sides of the street were brightly lit, and soul-guided vehicles came and went. The buildings in the distance seemed to be covered with a golden coat under the lights.
Bao Liang felt exceptionally relaxed.
The Snow Empress Embryo has been obtained.
Once he safely returns to the Sun Moon Empire, he can begin preparations for the fusion.
As for whether Shrek and the Star Luo Empire will pull any tricks...
When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it.
Anyway, what he's best at is blowing all the trouble into the sky at once.
However.
Just as everyone was walking forward happily, a dark figure suddenly emerged slowly from the street corner.
It was a figure shrouded in a black robe.
His face was obscured by a hood.
Even the outstretched hand was completely covered by a black glove.
Not an inch of skin was exposed.
Clearly, he didn't intend for anyone to know his true identity.
The next moment.
An invisible, heavy aura suddenly descended.
Boom!
The entire street seemed to be instantly sealed off by some unseen force.
The members of the Sun Moon Team froze simultaneously.
Those with weaker cultivation levels had their faces flush red instantly, and even breathing became difficult.
The smile on Xiao Hongchen's face vanished abruptly.
Meng Hongchen immediately stepped in front of Bao Liang.
A chilling aura rose from her body.
Ma Rulong and the others took out their Soul Tool and looked warily at the man in black.
No matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't break free from the heavy aura that held them captive.
The man in black simply extended a single finger, pointing it at Bao Liang.
His voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from hell.
"I'm only looking for this kid."
"The others left."
"Otherwise."
"Then none of us need to leave."
