Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 202 A Long-Awaited Gift, Star Luo Treasure Vault

The brief meeting has already planned out the future paths for all the students who have left Shrek Academy.

However, the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo were still somewhat confused.

They were the type who impulsively quit Shrek Academy.

However, the mysterious image did frighten them. Watching Xu Sanshi and Ma Hongjun's performance in the image reminded them of when they first entered the academy, when someone climbed into the girls' dormitory, although they were never caught.

Zhang Lexuan is also confused right now. She came with Tang Ya, and the purpose of their visit is self-evident.

But after seeing the real Shrek, she felt extremely disconnected.

Is this the same Shrek Academy that she remembers as friendly and harmonious?

Another knock on the door broke the silence, and a sweet voice came through the conference room door: "Ms. Wang Dong'er, please forgive my intrusion, I am Xu Jiujiu."

Huo Yuhao opened the door and stepped in after a long while, first performing a courtly greeting to Wang Dong'er.

"Thank you again for saving my life. I will never forget it."

Xu Jiujiu raised her head and noticed that several people were missing from the list of those who had withdrawn from Shrek Academy during the finals, but she did not ask about it. Instead, she asked Wang Dong'er, "Miss Wang Dong'er, would Jiujiu have the honor of inviting you to the palace for a chat?"

"Enter the palace?"

Xu Jiujiu nodded: "That's right, this is my personal invitation."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao immediately became alert: "What is your Star Luo Empire planning to do?"

Xu Jiujiu smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to be nervous. It's just that Miss Wang Dong'er saved me, and I must repay this life-saving grace. That's why I invited Miss Wang Dong'er to the palace."

"Can we bring people in?" Wang Dong'er said.

"Of course, but... does everyone present have to come to the palace with you?"

"No, I'm taking her inside." Wang Dong'er took Xiao Xiao's hand and raised it.

“I see.” Xu Jiujiu maintained her smile. “Of course. If the others wish to enter the palace together, they may come with me. But please understand that, apart from Miss Wang Dong’er and this Miss Xiao Xiao, the others can only play within the designated area outside the palace after entering.”

"Thank you for your kindness, Princess Jiu Jiu, but I still need to cultivate, so I won't go," said Huo Yuhao, the cultivation fanatic.

Then Tang Ya, Ning Tian, ​​and Wu Feng also expressed their refusal.

The two sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, were somewhat eager to go and see for themselves, but seeing that no one else was going, they felt a little embarrassed.

As an auctioneer at Starlight Auction House, Xu Jiujiu had handled numerous auctions, large and small, and was already adept at reading people's expressions. She immediately invited the Lan sisters.

And so, Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao, along with the Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo sisters and Xu Jiujiu, left the Star Emperor Hotel.

Xingluo City was already enormous, and when Xu Jiujiu arrived, she specially arranged for a royal carriage. The horses pulling the carriage were all of the kind with the bloodline of soul beasts, and the royal banners raised on the carriage made passersby give way. There were as many as five carriages, so it seems that Xu Jiujiu had already anticipated the possibility of a large group of people traveling together.

However, there's not so much of a need now. Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo rode in the same carriage, while Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao were led by Xu Jiujiu to ride in Xu Jiujiu's own carriage.

"Where does Miss Wang Dong'er wish to go next?"

On the carriage, after a long while, he finally spoke.

"Princess Jiu Jiu, you don't need to use such a respectful title all the time. Just call me by my name."

Xu Jiujiu chuckled and said, "Then we don't need to keep offering each other toasts. Dong'er, I'm a few years older than you, so please call me Sister Jiujiu, or just Jiujiu."

Wang Dong'er originally wanted Xu Jiujiu to call her by her full name, but Xu Jiujiu skipped the surname. However, Wang Dong'er didn't mind and answered Xu Jiujiu's question after calling her "Sister Jiujiu".

"I haven't decided where to go yet."

"Really?" Xu Jiujiu's eyes lit up, and she said, "In terms of teaching staff, our Star Luo Royal Academy may not be as good as Shrek Academy, but I can guarantee that what happened at Shrek Academy will never happen at our Star Luo Royal Academy."

"Let's talk about that later," Wang Dong'er said with a smile. "Right now, I just want to rest for a while."

"Alright." Seeing that Wang Dong'er didn't reveal where she was going, Xu Jiujiu wisely stopped asking.

For her, forcing Wang Dong'er was tantamount to making an enemy of Wang Dong'er. The right path was to be on good terms with Wang Dong'er without affecting her own interests.

In the situation where Ma Xiaotao was berserk and hurting people, everyone's first thought would be to protect themselves. But Wang Dong'er was able to stand in front of her in that very short time, which shows that it was a subconscious act of protection.

In that case, befriending Wang Dong'er would yield far more positive feedback than providing energy to Shrek Academy.

After entering the imperial city, the carriage slowed down noticeably. It took a long time before they disembarked and walked into the palace, finally arriving at the main gate.

The Star Luo Empire is the strongest empire besides the Sun Moon Empire. Not only is Star Luo City extremely vast and prosperous, but even its imperial palace is magnificent and extremely luxurious.

Xu Jiujiu did not lead them into the main hall, but instead took a detour to the garden behind the palace.

Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo were left behind, while Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao continued forward with Xu Jiujiu until they arrived at an inconspicuous building.

After a long while, he turned to Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao and introduced, "This is the royal treasury of my Star Luo Empire. It contains many treasures, including soul bones that are over ten thousand years old. You are free to wander around the treasury and take any treasure you like. When the compensation from Shrek Academy arrives, I will give you half of it."

As she spoke, Xu Jiujiu opened the treasure vault door again, but what she saw was nothing of value, just rows of bookshelves. When Xu Jiujiu led the two of them deeper inside and they came to a bookshelf against the wall, she raised her hand and pressed it. Just like at the Starlight Auction House, a blue light flashed where Xu Jiujiu pressed, and then two thin lines swept across Xu Jiujiu's palm. With a rumbling sound, the wall opened.

The wall opened, revealing a wide passageway lined with soul-guiding lamps that emitted a soft glow.

After passing through the passageway, there was another mechanical gate. After a long while, the entire treasure vault finally came into Wang Dong'er's view.

The hall is filled with glass-enclosed platforms, where all sorts of rare and precious treasures are displayed in different categories.
