Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

The impact Ye Chen's real person had on her far exceeded any exquisite poster or blurry image!

The portrait on the poster can only be outlined in a blurry way, conveying a unique feeling.

The young man standing before her was as upright as a pine tree, with an impeccably handsome face, his features seemingly the most exquisite masterpiece of heaven.

What's most captivating is his aura—calm yet confident, gentle yet sharp, like a deep sea containing endless treasures, calm yet surging with a power that captivates the heart.

Combined with his face, which could make any girl's heart race, it created an ultimate charm.

This charm, like a magnet, firmly attracted Meng Hongchen's entire mind, leaving her mind blank, with only the figure before her.

Her heart felt as if it had been gripped tightly by an invisible hand, then suddenly released, and began to pound wildly at an unprecedented speed, the thumping sound so clear it seemed to be right next to her ear.

A surge of intense heat unexpectedly rushed from the base of her neck to her cheeks, instantly turning her fair face a vibrant pink.

She could even feel her breathing suddenly become rapid and shallow, and her small nostrils twitched slightly.

"So...so handsome! Ten times...no! A thousand times better looking than in the photos!!" Meng Hongchen murmured to herself, her cherry lips slightly parted.

Her gaze was glued to Ye Chen as if by superglue, and she couldn't look away even a fraction of an inch.

Actually, the reason she insisted on coming to this expo despite the long journey was just an excuse about the soul tool.

The real reason was that she caught a glimpse of Ye Chen's small portrait on a promotional poster for the Tang Sect!
That little profile picture kept her tossing and turning for days, as if she were bewitched.

Seeing her in person now, all her previous imaginations seemed so pale and powerless.

Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest, her face was burning hot, and her breathing was so rapid that she felt a little dizzy.

"Dream? What's wrong with you?"

Standing next to her, Xiao Hongchen immediately noticed her younger sister's unusual behavior.

He turned his head to the side, somewhat bewildered, completely clueless.

Xiao Hongchen had no idea that his younger sister was a hidden top-tier beauty enthusiast with extremely high aesthetic standards, and she usually looked down on everyone.

At this moment, Xiao Hongchen thought that Meng Hongchen was amazed by the novel gadgets exhibited by the Tang Sect.

"No...nothing..."

Meng Hongchen was startled awake by her brother's voice, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and suddenly came to her senses.

She quickly shook her head vigorously, trying to hide her embarrassment, and unconsciously covered her burning cheek with one hand.

She quickly lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling like the wings of a startled butterfly, not daring to look in Ye Chen's direction again.

She couldn't let her grandfather and brother know that she had lost her composure because she had taken a liking to Ye Chen.

Otherwise, I'll definitely get nagged.

Jing Hongchen naturally noticed his granddaughter's momentary loss of composure.

He's lived to be this old, what hasn't he seen?

Meng Hongchen's appearance was clearly that of a young girl in the throes of first love.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze behind his glasses lingering on Ye Chen for a moment, carrying a hint of scrutiny and understanding.

Jing Hongchen admitted that the pretty boy in the distance did indeed have a handsome appearance and an extraordinary temperament.

No wonder his high-minded granddaughter lost her composure like this.

However, appearance alone is not enough.

For a large family like theirs, looks are secondary; being well-matched in terms of social standing is the most important thing.

That kid wasn't from the Sun Moon Empire; on the contrary, he was a student of Shrek Academy, and from the fallen Tang Clan from ten thousand years ago...

If the other party could bring the Tang Clan to marry into Mingde Hall, he might consider it... Although Xiao Hongchen was somewhat puzzled by his sister's reaction, as the heir of Mingde Hall, he knew the purpose of this trip.

I thought the three great empires wouldn't have anything good to offer, but I never expected they would be able to produce such an incredible soul tool as the "Super Milk Bottle".

Even Mingdetang hasn't been able to research this. If we can buy the super baby bottle this time, its research value will be immeasurable!
If the core magic array within could be cracked, its value would even surpass that of a level nine soul tool!
Everyone else had already received the news.

Their Mingdetang arrived late because they were too arrogant.

"Go ahead, consider this a test for you."

Jing Hongchen glanced at Xiao Hongchen and spoke with a smile.

He himself took a small step back and was swallowed up by the crowd behind him.

As the person in charge of Mingde Hall and a level nine Soul Master, he naturally couldn't personally negotiate with Ye Chen, as that would be too beneath him.

Things that concern young people should naturally be resolved by young people themselves.

Xiao Hongchen composed himself and focused his gaze on the core area of ​​the Tang Sect booth, immediately recognizing Ye Chen as the person in charge.

He stepped forward, a standard, impeccable social smile on his face, and nodded slightly to Ye Chen, saying with a smile, "You must be Sect Leader Ye of the Tang Clan. I have long admired your name. I am Xiao Hongchen of the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire, and I have come to pay you a visit and exchange ideas."

Xiao Hongchen's voice was clear and bright, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. He not only stated his identity but also expressed his purpose, demonstrating good upbringing.

"So you're from Mingde Hall, it's an honor to meet you! Please come in and have a seat!"

Ye Chen's face immediately showed a surprised expression, as if he had just recognized the other party's identity, and he quickly responded enthusiastically.

As Ye Chen spoke, he stepped aside to lead the way, pointing to the reception room behind the booth, which was specifically used to receive important guests.

In the same reception room, Xu Jiujiu from Xingluo and Vina from Tianhun had just left not long ago.

"Sect Leader Ye is young and accomplished; we all admire him."

Laughing at the world, they began a mutual flattery session.

Meng Hongchen followed behind Xiao Hongchen, head down, trying to calm her wildly beating heart and burning cheeks.

She forced herself not to look at Ye Chen's back, but she couldn't help but steal glances in that direction out of the corner of her eye.

Each stolen glance made her heart race again, which had just begun to calm down.

She felt weak in her hands and feet, and her steps felt like she was floating.

……

Upon entering the reception room, Ye Chen invited the two to sit down.

Ye Chen sat in the main seat, and Xiao Hongchen sat in the second seat.

Meng Hongchen originally wanted to sit next to her brother, but her feet involuntarily moved to the empty seat closer to Ye Chen. After sitting down, she immediately felt it was inappropriate, her face turned even redder, and she quickly lowered her head and pretended to straighten her skirt, which had no wrinkles.

Xiao Hongchen cut to the chase: "Sect Leader Ye, let's not beat around the bush. I'm here on behalf of Mingde Hall mainly for that 'Super Milk Bottle'."

Xiao Hongchen did not mention the Wanxiang Communication Device.

The Sun Moon Empire had naturally mastered this communication soul tool technology.

Although it's not as good as the Wanxiang Communicator, it's sufficient for my needs.

The main issue is communication; they don't trust other people's technology.

What if the other side's communication device has a hidden door that can eavesdrop? Wouldn't they explode?

If there is no war, it's fine, but once war starts, it will be fatal.
