Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 172 Purple Gold Dragon Trunk Bone, the other side of Tian Ling, leaning over to do small things (5k)

"Fifty million?"

Shu Yan's mouth twitched. Looking at the pitiful expression on Tian Ling's face, he couldn't help but ask curiously:
"What kind of soul beast produces soul bones worth 50 million gold soul coins? If I remember correctly, soul bones of this level will not appear in second-tier auctions, and can even be the finale item in the top auctions."

Tian Ling pressed herself close to Shu Yan, thinking of the gorgeous soul bone that looked like it was cast in gold and radiated a purple-gold luster, and then thinking of the feeling of traction and submission that her blood was feeling, she swallowed her saliva reluctantly, and then said in a flattering tone:
"That soul bone is said to come from a 50,000-year-old purple-gold dragon. The purple-gold dragon is a benign mutant species in the Tyrannosaurus Rex. It is said that there is a trace of the blood of the golden dragon, the ancestor of power, in the body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The purple-gold dragon has undergone another transformation based on the blood of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. It is a super soul beast among the dragon soul beasts that can rival the top true dragons. Its strength is said to surpass that of the Titan ape of the same level. Moreover, the torso bone produced by this purple-gold dragon is extremely precious and rare..."

Shu Yan raised his eyebrows. The Tyrannosaurus Rex was an extremely powerful soul beast in the entire dragon clan. It was a well-deserved top dragon soul beast under the True Dragon, with a trace of golden dragon blood flowing in its body.

The biggest difference between the Purple Gold Dragon and the ordinary Tyrannosaurus Rex is the purity of its bloodline. The Golden Dragon's status is still very high, and even just a trace of blood transfer is enough to transform any soul beast.

But what Shu Yan didn't expect was that the long-extinct purple-gold dragon actually still had soul bones circulating. After all, in this day and age, even the Tyrannosaurus Rex is on the verge of extinction. The only remaining populations have all gathered in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, and are blessed by the Beast God Di Tian. Now they can be said to be the most powerful dragon soul beast population in the entire Star Dou Great Forest except for the Hell Demon Dragon clan.

Thinking about Tian Ling's martial spirit, Shu Yan roughly understood her thoughts.

"You want to absorb this soul bone so that the trace of golden dragon blood in it can stimulate your martial soul to return to its ancestral form and become the Golden Crocodile King?"

Shu Yan said with a hint of amusement.

What kind of existence is the Golden Crocodile King? Strong golden blood flows in his body. He is born with the dual attributes of gold and earth. He is a top-level beast spirit that can compete with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. This kind of spirit has only appeared once in the historical records of the continent today. The Golden Crocodile Douluo, the second priest of the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, possessed this kind of spirit.

Tian Ling is undoubtedly the descendant of the second priest. Her martial soul is the golden crocodile. Although it just lacks the word "king", the level of her martial soul is vastly different.

The Golden Crocodile King is the ultimate existence among the top-level beast spirits. In terms of close combat ability, it is far superior to the White Tiger spirit with exhausted blood. The powerful gold attribute of its body is extremely close to the ultimate gold. This kind of spirit did not shine ten thousand years ago. Who told the Golden Crocodile Douluo to encounter the invincible protagonist group with explosive combat power in the later period? In this case, no matter whether you are a human or a god, you will be suppressed by the brilliance of the protagonist group and end up in a miserable defeat.

Hearing Shu Yan's words, Tian Ling nodded honestly.

Their family has been passed down for ten thousand years, and their bloodline has always been extremely rare. Moreover, since the ancestor Golden Crocodile Douluo, no one has been able to awaken the Golden Crocodile King's martial spirit. The golden crocodile with a degraded bloodline can only be regarded as a high-level beast spirit. Without a great opportunity, they may only be able to stay in the Soul Saint or Soul Douluo realm in this life.

Shu Yan looked at Tian Ling's big eyes full of expectation, and finally poured a bucket of cold water on her mercilessly.

"Do you really think that anyone can absorb a soul bone with the blood of a golden dragon? Even a soul master with a top-level dragon martial soul would face life-threatening danger when absorbing this kind of soul bone. If it were you, I'm afraid that the soul bone would burst before it enters your body for a while."

Sometimes reality is so cruel, just like ordinary ice-attribute soul masters can never absorb the ultimate ice soul bones from the Ice Jade Scorpion clan. The more powerful the bloodline of the soul beast, the more stringent the conditions required to absorb the soul bones produced.

The golden dragon is the top clan of the dragon clan. In terms of the strength of its bloodline, it is even stronger than the dark gold terrorclaw bear. Not to mention that Tian Ling is only a five-ring soul king now, even if she is a soul saint, it would be a matter of life and death to absorb that soul bone.

After being hit mercilessly by Shu Yan, Tian Ling was not discouraged. She hesitated for a moment, mustered up the courage and kissed Shu Yan on the face. Then she sat directly in Shu Yan's arms. With her warm and soft body in his arms, Shu Yan couldn't help but feel a little excited. After all, he was not Liu Xiahui who could remain calm even if a woman sat on his lap.

"Boss, please help me this time. I beg you. As long as you help me get this soul bone, I will be your slave. Don't you men like this kind of play? The red flag is flying at home and the colorful flags are flying outside. Moreover, I am more obedient than the princess. I can do whatever you want and all kinds of play..."

Having said that, Tian Ling directly pulled Shu Yan's hand.

Tian Ling let out a light cry, her face turned red, and even steam was coming out of her head. It was obvious that she still felt ashamed of what she had done today.

Shu Yan looked at Tian Ling's big, watery eyes, lowered his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, then he smiled and said softly:

"In that case, I have to think about it carefully..."

Tian Ling saw through Shu Yan's deliberate intentions, but things had come to this point and she had no way out. She encouraged herself in her heart, closed her eyes and kissed him directly.

The fragrant, soft and charming scent came to his face, and the smooth touch made Shu Yan feel a little excited.

After coming to his senses, he had to admit that Tian Ling was simply a stunning beauty who was always inviting people to commit crimes!

……

After the lovemaking, Tian Ling wiped her crystal clear red lips, her tearful eyelashes trembling slightly, she looked at Shu Yan, her voice was unnaturally soft:
"Boss, this is my first kiss..."

"It's okay, me too..."

Shu Yan chuckled and said without blushing or beating his heart.

Tian Ling rolled her eyes beautifully. How could she not know whether this was Shu Yan's first kiss? He was so skilled, it seemed like he had kissed her many times before...

After wiping the tears from Tian Ling's eyes, Shu Yan suddenly asked:
"Don't you feel wronged to be my subordinate? With your status and talent, there will be a lot of men chasing you in the whole Xingluo City, including some disciples from famous families. Why do you have to wrong yourself..."

Tian Ling glared at Shu Yan charmingly. She pressed her cheek against Shu Yan's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, with a hint of intoxication on her face.

"It's different. Just like you men are born to like outstanding and beautiful women, we women are the same. Maybe with my looks, I can enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory by marrying a noble, but this is not what I want. I have lived in a very competitive environment since I was a child, and I understand how important strength is to a beautiful woman."

"I don't want to go with the flow, nor do I want to become a commodity for men to compete and show off. I also desire strength. Instead of letting others dominate my destiny, I would rather dominate others. This world is based on the law of the jungle, which is twisted but realistic. The so-called fairness will never work here. The strong can control the weak, and the weak can only submit to the strong."

"Since the first time I saw you, Boss, I have felt that you are extraordinary. A woman's intuition is often not wrong. I have heard from Yue Yin that Elder Qian and His Majesty the Emperor praised you. Many powerful people who I have to be cautious in contact with have said that you are the brightest star of this era, and in the future you can even recreate the glory of the Seven Gods ten thousand years ago. Since then, I have made up my mind."

Tian Ling's jade hand gently stroked Shu Yan's cheek, shyness mixed with full of obsession. Only a strong man was worthy of conquering her, and Shu Yan was undoubtedly the one who conquered her imperceptibly.

"I don't think it's a shame to be your subordinate. When you become a Ultimate Douluo or even a God in the future, the identity of my mistress or lover won't be so embarrassing. It will even be the strongest help for me to ascend to the sky. Boss, I know you are not a heartless and ungrateful person. By then, you can casually shake out some resources from your fingernails. Even if I can't become a God, I can at least become a Super Douluo or Ultimate Douluo, right?"

Shu Yan was silent for a moment after hearing this, then he stroked Tian Ling's cheek and said softly:

"You are a woman who dares to think and do, but I have to admit that my interest in you is growing."

Tian Ling still leaned in Shu Yan's arms. She smiled sweetly, then leaned close to Shu Yan's ear and said:

"Interest and affection are the beginning of love. Boss, will you love me?"

Shu Yan looked at the woman's eyes with a bright smile, then chuckled and said:

"Maybe. You also said that I am not a heartless and ungrateful person. Who knows, maybe I will really fall in love with you over time?"

Tian Ling bit her finger, blinked her eyes, and then said innocently:

"Is it the Rijiu I was thinking of?" Shu Yan: "..."

……

It took less than ten minutes, and a handsome middle-aged man respectfully brought over all the information about the purple-gold dragon torso bone. Seeing the last sentence that this soul bone had been unsold five times, Shu Yan was not surprised.

The trunk bone containing the golden dragon's bloodline cannot be worth only 50 million gold soul coins. In the original novel, the golden left arm bone that Wang Dong obtained was only a little over ten thousand years old, but it was worth 9.5 million gold soul coins. The reason for this was simply that the soul bone contained the pure but diluted bloodline of the bright dragon clan.

According to Shu Yan's estimation, the true value of this torso bone should be more than 70 million gold soul coins. The reason why the price has dropped so drastically now is because of this soul bone itself.

Similar to the Golden Light's left arm bone, this soul bone condenses the blood essence of the 50,000-year-old purple-gold dragon. It was previously acquired by three soul masters with dragon-type martial souls, but their endings were quite tragic. They were all severely injured by the violent resentment and energy contained in this soul bone. Two of them died on the spot, and the other survived by chance, but became a living dead with his soul power and spine destroyed.

It is worth mentioning that the last living dead man is the second son of the contemporary Holy Dragon Douluo. Holy Dragon Douluo's real name is Tuoba Han, and his martial soul is the White-Armored Earth Dragon. After the Spirit Hall disappeared ten thousand years ago, the Holy Dragon Sect surrendered to the Star Luo Empire in exchange for the lives of the sect's disciples. Until now, almost all the strong men of the Holy Dragon Sect have served in the Star Luo Western Legion. Among them, Holy Dragon Douluo has been extremely caring towards Dai Hao, and he has already stood on the lineage of the White Tiger Duke.

It is said that it has been ten years since this soul bone was last auctioned. During these ten years, this soul bone has been sealed in the treasury of the Starlight Auction House. It even has an ominous name similar to the former Soul-Devouring Knife. Today is the first day that this soul bone sees the light of day again after ten years, but it happens to fail to be sold for the fifth time in its life.

What made Tian Ling dumbfounded was that Shu Yan just casually reminded them, and less than a quarter of an hour later, a strong man from the auction house brought the soul bone to the two of them, without even charging a gold soul coin.

Shu Yan pinched Tian Ling's cheek, looked at her rather complicated and puzzled eyes, and then said:

"My status in the Xingluo Empire is second only to the emperor. Let alone a soul bone, if I want, I can mobilize the Xingluo city defense forces, all the royal servants, and secret guards."

What Shu Yan said was true. Xu Jiawei trusted him too much. He now had several children, but none of them were born to the queen he loved. His children's talents were not too outstanding, and their abilities were extremely average. Xu Jiawei did not want to hand over the throne to them. If he and the queen could not have children in the next ten years, he would urge Xu Jiujiu and Shu Yan to have children, and choose one of their children with the Star Crown Martial Soul to train and make him/her the next Star Luo Emperor.

In terms of succession to the throne, Xu Jiawei is indeed a qualified emperor. He considers things from the perspective of the country rather than just from his own perspective. What Xingluo needs in the future is a qualified and powerful emperor, and an emperor of average ability cannot shoulder such a heavy responsibility. If he insists on letting his children inherit the throne, it may even cause some unpleasantness.

Tian Ling's eyes were somewhat resentful, and she sighed:

"Is this the gap between people? Boss, you are obviously younger than me, but the gap between us is so big..."

Shu Yan studied the soul bone that Tian Ling was obsessed with, and said softly:
"Still calling me boss?"

Tian Ling was stunned, then she gave Shu Yan a charming look, leaned on Shu Yan's shoulder, opened her red lips slightly, and then whispered:

"Owner……"

Shu Yan was a little surprised, but when he thought about Tian Ling's personality, he felt that it was nothing.

"The energy and resentment contained in this soul bone are indeed violent. It seems that this guy was filled with resentment before he died."

"But it's not a big problem. Take this soul bone with you to the Red Romantic Room of the Rose Hotel tonight."

Tian Ling blushed again when she heard this, and she pulled Shu Yan's sleeve, then whispered:
"Master, I have another nice dress..."

A black question mark appeared on Shu Yan's forehead. After thinking about it, he shook his head.

"I'll help you absorb the soul bone first, but you can prepare it in advance, maybe you can use it?"

If Shu Yan and Tian Ling hadn't mentioned it, he really couldn't remember this matter. However, since Tian Ling was so proactive, he naturally wouldn't refuse. After all, Tian Ling's figure was so full and charming that no man could resist her charm.

Tian Ling nodded with a red face, and then happily put the jade box into the soul guide.

It was indeed a good feeling to have a strong backer. The soul bone that was once enough to crush someone to death in her eyes had inexplicably become ordinary. She had a feeling that following Shu Yan, her good days were still to come...

Hmm...Thinking about her good sister Luo Qinghan, Tian Ling frowned and decided to wait until her leg healed...

……

Not long after Tian Ling left, Xu Jiujiu also hurried over.

The expression on her face was a little tired. The affairs of Starlight Auction House were numerous and involved a lot of things. Even she had to handle them carefully, otherwise she would not have made Shu Yan wait so long.

After sitting next to Shu Yan and drinking a sip of tea, Xu Jiujiu suddenly said:
"Ah Yan, I heard from Manager Liao that you just transferred the soul bone that has been unsold many times?"

Shu Yan nodded without changing his expression, then he let Xu Jiujiu lie on his legs and gently massaged her temples.

"I am somewhat useful. What's the matter with that soul bone?"

Xu Jiujiu shook his head slightly, and then said:

"It's nothing, it's just that the soul bone is too powerful. A few years ago, dozens of appraisers from the auction house conducted a unified appraisal and discussion and concluded that only soul masters with dragon blood in their bodies that can suppress the soul bone can absorb it, and their soul power level must be above level 60. At that time, a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Soul Douluo from the Tianlong Sect spent a huge amount of money to bid for it and planned to use it to break through to the Titled Douluo level. Because he was afraid that others would rob him of his treasure, he requested to complete the absorption in the secret room of the auction house. For this, he also gave the royal family the essence condensed by a ten thousand year old thunder dragon as a thank you gift for protecting him."

"At that time, Tianlongmen almost sold everything they had to bid for this soul bone, so we naturally did not refuse."

"But at the last moment of the fusion, the resentment in this soul bone suddenly backfired, killing the soul douluo in an instant. Afterwards, the old leader of the Tianlong Sect came to Xingluo City in person. Fortunately, old Tianlong was sensible and did not cause us any trouble. He just exchanged the soul bone for gold soul coins. At that time, my brother gave an additional 20 million gold soul coins to appease old Tianlong. Since then, the reputation of this soul bone has really been in big trouble, and few people dare to have extravagant hopes for it."

Shu Yan nodded. These things were clearly recorded in the news just now.

"You don't have to worry about this for a while. There is still an hour before the cocktail party. Go get some sleep. I'll accompany you..."

Xu Jiujiu nodded, stood up and gave Shu Yan a sweet kiss, then fell asleep in Shu Yan's arms...

Looking at Xu Jiujiu's pretty sleeping face, Shu Yan was still thinking about something and didn't come back to his senses for a long time...
