From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 156 Mr. Li’s Invitation

"It's a saying that money is easy to get, but a smile is hard to find!"

Just as Leng Xiyao and Qin Menglan were flirting with each other, an old man walked in from outside the store and praised.

"Who are you?" Leng Xiyao looked at the old man in front of her, and found that his clothes were extremely exquisite, even to the extent of stitching. This made Leng Xiyao very surprised - are there really such particular people in the world?

"Me? I'm just a passerby, and I came to see who has such a broad mind and can say these two sentences. I didn't expect that they were two little girls." The old man stroked his long beard and said with a smile, as if he had seen through everything.

"A passerby?" Leng Xiyao had already guessed the other party's identity: "I think you are the boss behind this store, right?"

"My friend, you really have good eyesight. You are a young hero, none other than this!" the old man exclaimed.

Looking at the maids and guards beside him, as well as the solemn expressions of the other receptionists in the store as they looked at the old man, Leng Xiyao thought to herself that only a fool would not be able to tell who you are!
"So, old man, are you selling this pair of shoes?" Leng Xiyao still didn't forget the main thing and asked directly.

"Only exchange, not sell." The old man narrowed his eyes, looking like an old sly businessman.

Upon hearing this, Leng Xiyao directly took out a 30,000-year-old human-faced demon spider soul bone and held it in her hand.

"Is it enough?"

The moment he saw the soul bone, the old man's eyes widened.

After all, no matter how expensive these shoes are, they are just a decoration, which is far from the kind of defensive clothing that has effectiveness. But what is in front of us is the real soul bone!

"Enough, of course it's enough. Someone, come here! Go and get the real pair of shoes for Miss Leng!" The old man took the soul bone, and his old face smiled as brightly as a flower.

"Master, do you really want to take the real thing?" After hearing the old man's words, the maid beside him suddenly hesitated.

"Just take it when I tell you to. Why are you wasting time talking?" The old man glanced at the maid who asked the question indifferently, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Yes, sir!" The girl knew she had said something wrong, and hurriedly went to get the so-called authentic item according to the old man's instructions.

Originally, Leng Xiyao was still wondering what the difference was between the so-called authentic items and the exhibits in this store, but when the pair of shoes was brought up by the maid on a tray, Leng Xiyao understood.

If the beauty of the exhibits in the counter is rated forty points, then the authentic pair would be rated ninety-nine points.

To be honest, Leng Xiyao had never seen such beautiful shoes before, so much so that even someone like her who didn't pay much attention to her clothes wanted to wear them on her feet, as if there was some magical power attracting her heart.

"Grandpa, are you really going to exchange it for me?" Leng Xiyao thought about it carefully. If it was a display item on the counter, one soul bone would be enough, but this real thing gave her the feeling that it was not simple. It must be a powerful treasure, and its value was definitely not something that could be exchanged for a 30,000-year soul bone.

"Changed, changed." The old man held the soul bone in his hand with a smiling face.

"Thank you very much, old man."

The old man waved his hand, not caring at all, and turned to another matter: "By the way, my friend, I see that you have amazing financial resources. There will be a grand auction in a few days. Do you want to participate?"

"Auction?" Leng Xiyao was somewhat interested: "It's interesting. When will it be held?"

"In three days, the Tiandou Auction House will be held. I hope you will come." The old man handed over two invitations with a smile.

Leng Xiyao took the invitation letter and looked at it. It did not mention the origin of the person who invited her, which made Leng Xiyao still unclear about the old man's identity.

But never mind. It shouldn't do any harm anyway.

"Grandpa, what treasures will appear in this auction?" After looking left and right, there was no introduction to the auction items, so Leng Xiyao asked directly.

Seeing Leng Xiyao's curiosity, the old man smiled and said, "Haha, this auction is very lively. It is said that there are four finale items. Three of them are unknown. The only public finale item is called the Fruit of Martial Soul Fusion."

"The fruit of martial soul fusion? What is that?" Leng Xiyao asked curiously upon hearing the name.

“As the name suggests, this Martial Soul Fusion Fruit is used to help people fuse their martial souls. Legend has it that this fruit is divided into yin and yang sides. After two people eat it respectively, they can comprehend the martial soul fusion technique. This kind of treasure is rare in the world.” Old Li explained.

"But it was still sold, wasn't it? I think the really good things would not be traded." Leng Xiyao felt that this thing sounded rare, but there might be some kind of martial soul fusion fruit tree planted somewhere, just like the space fruit tree before.

"It's different, this is different~" Old Li explained: "This thing was obtained by an old farmer by chance when he was collecting herbs in the mountains. He submitted it directly to the auction house for registration. Some big shots also learned the news. The auction house put it up for auction in order to avoid leaving a bad reputation of embezzling the transaction items. Otherwise, it would have been taken away by the people behind the auction house long ago." When he said this, a look of annoyance appeared on the old man's face.

Leng Xiyao seemed to be thinking about something. She felt that she had underestimated the old man in front of her.

"Well, old man, we'll attend in a few days."

Leng Xiyao thought about it and realized that she really couldn't resist the temptation of the fruit of martial soul fusion. If there was something missing between her and Lanlan, it was this martial soul fusion skill.

Given their relationship, it would be very easy to activate a martial soul fusion skill, but she didn't have a martial soul before, so there was naturally no way she could activate a martial soul fusion skill.

Although she now has a martial soul, it is obviously a long process to comprehend such a martial soul synthesis technique. Therefore, she is determined to obtain the fruit of this martial soul synthesis.

After taking the pair of crystal shoes from the maid, Leng Xiyao said goodbye to the old man, and then said to Qin Menglan: "Let's go, Lanlan."

"Mmmmm~"

After the two of them went away, the old man's expression became dull, and the soul bone that he once regarded as a treasure became like garbage, and he threw it casually to the guard beside him.

"Chief, why did you just give it to the other party like this? Wouldn't it be better to put it on auction to make money?" The guard who took the soul bone asked in confusion.

The old man glanced at the guard calmly and said, "If you understand my intention, you can also run a thousand-year-old family."

The guard realized that he had said something wrong and stopped talking immediately.

Looking at the backs of the two girls talking and laughing, the old man sighed: "Miss Leng, I hope you are as miraculous as the second brother said, so that my Li family can also find a place to survive in the upcoming storm."
