Douluo: Traveling through Huo Yuhao, I am really not a succubus

Chapter 224 Pit

"Your Majesty, please take a seat."

Wang Yan made a gesture to invite him in. Xu Jiawei waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need to sit down. As you can see, this finale is quite amazing. I have to be there to prevent anyone from making random plans. Speaking of which, I feel bad about selling this treasure. But the empire has many places to spend money, so I can only reluctantly give it up. I came out to meet all the chosen ones, and also to thank you for your reminder on the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone. This has avoided the loss of reputation of the Starlight Auction House."

"Just now, after weighing the pros and cons, we took the bid for the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone on our own to avoid any credibility issues. However, this item will no longer be auctioned. In order to thank Shrek Academy for reminding us, we decided to use this Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone as a prize. If Shrek Academy can eventually win the championship of this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition, then we will directly give this left arm bone to your academy as an additional reward. Of course, please keep this matter confidential."

Is that so?

Huo Yuhao raised his eyes slightly and saw Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu, the brother and sister, nodding at him implicitly.

"Ah this."

Although the 30 million gold soul coins that were used to buy the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone were just a fictitious number, the preciousness of this soul bone was beyond doubt. Although it was impossible for others to absorb it, for Huo Yuhao, it was definitely a top-grade soul bone!
The price of 10 million gold soul coins is unfair to it, and this is because only the ultimate ice can absorb it.

The Xing Luo Empire offered to give it as a gift, and this favor was so great that Wang Yan didn't even dare to accept it directly.

Only Huo Yuhao could guess that it was more accurate to say that it was given to him rather than to Shrek Academy.

"It seems that in the eyes of His Majesty, the talent I have shown is not strong enough! Otherwise, I would have given it away directly."

Huo Yuhao laughed secretly and was too lazy to care about these things. It didn’t matter whether they gave it to him or not. They didn’t owe him anything. Besides, if he gave them a soul bone, he didn’t know what they wanted him to do with it.
Is it just to simply make friends with a potential strong person in the future?

Or is it to establish a relationship with Shrek Academy?
In short, these things are no longer something Huo Yuhao can consider now.

"Everyone, let's leave it at that for now. I still have to preside over the next major auction. This last item will probably fetch a sky-high price. It won't be too late for you to leave after you witness the miracle."

After saying this, Xu Jiawei flicked his sleeves and his dragon-like and tiger-like aura burst out again.

Facing the Shrek people, Xu Jiawei suppressed his aura, but once outside, he would release that imperial aura.

Xu Jiujiu blinked at Huo Yuhao and followed him.

Seeing this scene, the eyes of everyone in Shrek suddenly became strange.

"Yuhao, is there really nothing going on between you and the princess?" Xu Sanshi approached Huo Yuhao cautiously, glanced at Ma Xiaotao, and whispered.

“Aren’t you talking nonsense? She is a princess and I’m just a commoner. What can that matter to me?” Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes.

"Just you? And a little commoner?" Xu Sanshi sneered. There was absolutely nothing between these two people!
"Jiujiu, after this competition is over, immediately strengthen the relationship with Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy's merchant group will have its trade tax in the empire reduced by half."

After leaving Shrek's box, Xu Jiawei said something to Xu Jiujiu.

"Brother, do you really want to do this?"

"There's nothing we can do. The Sun-Moon Empire is developing too fast now. There are also many forces within our empire that are secretly planning something, such as the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, the Civet Cat Duke's Mansion, and the former Four Star Luo Sects. With internal and external troubles, it's time for our royal family to take some action." Xu Jiawei sighed.

Xu Jiujiu was also aware of the current situation facing the royal family. "So, brother, your original idea was to let Yuhao replace Daihao, take control of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and become a helper of our royal family?"

“Not only that, if possible, I want you to marry him. In this way, the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion will be completely part of my royal family. By the way, I heard that Huo Yuhao has a relationship with Zhu Lu of the Zhu family. If Zhu Lu can become the new Spirit Cat Duke, then the internal problems can be greatly changed. At that time, we will have more energy to focus on the Sun Moon Empire.” Xu Jiawei said.

That's true, but Xu Jiujiu still couldn't help feeling a little worried.

The last time he met Huo Yuhao, Xu Jiujiu discovered something.

To Huo Yuhao, the people around him were his reverse scale. Anyone who dared to touch it would be finished.

Even Xiao Hongchen, who was considered a top young master in the Sun Moon Empire, was attacked by Huo Yuhao over a disagreement, even though the man's own sister was right next to him.

It can be seen that this is a person who does not consider the consequences at all when doing things.

To offend such a person is absolutely a terrible thing.

Because no one knows where Huo Yuhao’s bottom line is!
Xu Jiujiu was afraid that because of this incident, Huo Yuhao would feel that the royal family was plotting against him and Zhu Lu, which would lead to a change in the relationship between Huo Yuhao and the royal family. And with Huo Yuhao's current position in Shrek, he would most likely be one of the top executives in the future. By then, their royal family would not only have to face internal problems and the threat of the Sun Moon Empire, but also a hateful Shrek Academy!

As if seeing the worry in Xu Jiujiu's beautiful eyes, Xu Jiawei smiled slightly, "Don't worry Jiujiu, I don't plan to use this method anymore. But I think you and him are a good match."

"Brother~"

Hearing Xu Jiawei's teasing words, Xu Jiujiu's pretty face flashed with shyness, but she did not directly refute.

Indeed, Huo Yuhao left a very good impression on her.

Whether it was appearance, strength or temperament, she had never seen anyone like him before.

She is indeed a princess, but she is also a young girl.

Which girl doesn’t have illusions about her sweetheart?
It can be said that Huo Yuhao matches the imagination of the male god in the hearts of most girls on the mainland!
At this time, a message came from the white earplug in Xu Jiujiu's ear. After hearing this, Xu Jiujiu smiled and said, "Brother, the target has taken the bait and started selling soul guides to us in exchange for enough cash. After we proposed to reduce the handling fee of Mingdetang's products to 10%, they discussed it and took out some of Mingdetang's soul guides to sell to us. They are really determined to get it!"

"This is within my expectations. The great-grandson of the head of Mingde Hall is the most outstanding genius in the history of the Sun Moon Empire. If he can complete the fusion with the embryo, it will definitely be even more powerful. How could they miss this opportunity? In terms of financial strength, Mingde Hall is undoubtedly the number one on the continent. All Mingde Hall products will be sent to the research institute immediately after they are obtained."

"I hope they can slowly find that ninth-level soul master after they go back. Hehe."

Xu Jiujiu smiled slyly. "This plan is flawless. You start counting after the auction ends. Three months later, issue a task to the Adventurer's Guild to seize the treasure of Mingde Hall. The task amount is 100 million gold soul coins. No matter how talented the great-grandson of the Mingde Hall Master is, it is impossible for him to try to merge within ten years. And this is assuming that they use the most precious medicine to help increase their physical strength. Ten years is enough time for many variables to appear."

"There's nothing we can do. The people in Mingde Hall are stupid and rich. If we don't cheat them, who else can we cheat?"

"Brother, I find that you are getting worse and worse."

"If we have enough strength, why would I do this? According to our insider, Mingde Hall has made major breakthroughs in the research of soul guides. If we don't contain them, I'm afraid that within ten years, the Sun-Moon Empire will make a big move. But we are far from ready."

Xu Jiawei sighed quietly.

"Brother, this is not your fault. You have worked very hard. It's just that when it comes to developing soul guides, we don't have the natural advantage that the resource-rich Sun-Moon Empire has. Moreover, they have been researching for many years long before the Sun-Moon Continent collided with our Douluo Continent." Xu Jiujiu comforted.

"No reason can change reality. We can only work hard for reality. I will go to Shrek Academy in person in a while. If the Sun-Moon Empire really makes a big move, they will be the only ally we can count on. How do the powerful competing sects react?"

Xu Jiujiu replied, "All of them responded. Two of them showed clear intentions. They also sold us a lot of good things. Conservatively estimated, our direct profit from this auction will exceed 50 million gold soul coins. This money can buy a lot of good things in the Sun Moon Empire through our agents."

Xu Jiawei's eyes flashed coldly, "Try to make them create sparks."

"Ah."

Thirty minutes is long enough for a lot of people to handle a lot of things.

Without any thoughts in mind, everyone in Shrek Academy watched the final bidding battle with a sense of ease as outsiders.

The starting price of a 100,000-year soul beast embryo was as high as 100 million gold soul coins. Xu Jiujiu said that this starting price created history in the Starlight Auction House.

The subsequent bidding could only be described as brutal. At the beginning, there were actually three parties competing. The price continued to rise. Soon it reached 130 million gold soul coins. After reaching this number, the auction growth rate began to slow down. After all, a price of more than 100 million gold soul coins was definitely not something that ordinary forces could afford.

At this moment, the number suddenly changed, "One hundred and fifty million!"

One party actually directly added as much as 20 million.

In VIP Room No. 2, a young man stood in front of the soul guide screen with his fists clenched. "Let's see who dares to compete with me this time. So what if Huo Yuhao? After I obtain the second martial soul, even you will be trampled under my feet!"

This young man is Xiao Hongchen!

There were more than a dozen people sitting on the sofa behind him, and everyone had a different expression on their face. Some were envious, some were indifferent, some were jealous, some were dissatisfied, and so on.

Ma Lao frowned, "Xiao Hongchen, isn't it too much to raise the price? 20 million gold coins at a time, this..."

Xiao Hongchen shook his head and sneered, "It's to scare them into bidding. If we keep grinding, the price will probably go higher."

Ma Rulong said in a deep voice, "Is it really worth spending so much money at once?"

"You're talking nonsense. Of course it's worth it. I didn't spend any money from the academy. With this treasure, I can have twin martial spirits or a hundred thousand year spirit ring or spirit bone. This is something that can only be encountered once in a while, how can I let it go?"

Ma Rulong's expression suddenly became even uglier, but Old Ma glared at him and he didn't say anything else.

VIP Room No. 3.

"Asshole. Let me know who paid this, and I'll kill him."

There were only two people in this VIP room, both of whom looked to be in their forties. The speaker was tall, and the most peculiar thing was that his right arm was particularly strong, at least twice as strong as his left arm. The whole person actually exuded a bit of the aura of a primitive beast.

The other person was thin but had a very large head, looking a bit like a big-headed doll. His sparse hair was yellow, but his eyes were shining like a bright lamp.

"I think we will know who this is. If we can't get this thing back to the young master, we at least need to know where to get it from."

As he spoke, the big-headed man narrowed his eyes slightly, and then the air in the entire VIP room suddenly twisted violently. It felt like a person seeing water-like ripples on a raging fire when he was in a trance. Everything in the room seemed to become unreal.

Each VIP room had an auctioneer and two maids to take care of reception. The three auctioneers were the first to be affected. They were shaking all over and soon their eyes became confused. They stood there motionless.

The big-headed man sat back on the sofa, waved to the woman who was also a black-level auctioneer, and said, "Come here."

The black-level auctioneer quickly stepped forward and stood in front of him blankly.

"Go out and find out the origin of the person who just offered 150 million gold soul coins."

"Yes." The black-level auctioneer actually agreed respectfully and turned away.

The big-headed man easily controlled the minds of several people without releasing his martial spirit. Even if they were just ordinary people, this was already a miraculous skill.

"Second brother, you are really awesome. Otherwise, we can just control the people in the auction house and take the things away." The thick-armed man whispered. As he spoke, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and a series of "crackling" sounds burst out from his thick right arm. Those were not the sounds made by bones, but the changes in the airflow around the arm.

The big-headed man shook his head, "No. This Starlight Auction House is the background of the Xingluo Empire's royal family. And how can such a top auction be without support. I can feel at least four powerful auras here, and four Titled Douluo are here. Do you want to die? Unless the elders of the sect are here, we will not get anything good. Don't worry, this 100,000-year soul beast embryo is not so easy to absorb. What if they take it? As long as we find the right target, are you afraid that we can't get it back?"

Similar situations occurred in several VIP rooms at the same time, but their methods of obtaining information were different. With the unobtrusive cooperation of the Starlight Auction House, how could the identities of the people in VIP Room No. 2, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, remain a secret?
After all, the number of million gold soul coins stopped beating. This astronomical figure is quite terrifying for any force.
