In Douluo Continent, what is a martial soul? It's like Luckin Coffee.

Chapter 278 Past Events: Why Do You Have an Employee Contract?

"I won't reveal the name of this item yet; let me first introduce its function to our distinguished guests."

The left arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion was already extremely rare and precious.

And I dare say that this last item in today's auction is absolutely unique. Its value shouldn't even be measured in monetary terms.

"It's a single-use item. Or rather, it's a type of medicine. And there's only one."

As he spoke, Auctioneer Jiujiu gestured with his right hand, and the Soul Guidance Screen immediately changed, displaying a white tray with a wooden stand on it.

It is inlaid with at least a hundred gemstones of various colors.

On this small wooden support, a wisp of air rippled slightly.

On the Soul Guidance Screen, Auctioneer Jiu Jiu was calmly introducing this final item for the auction.

In each room, upon learning of the effects of a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, almost all the guests stopped what they were doing and stood up.

It's not just about 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones.

It can even grant a Soul Master a second Martial Soul!
Even Yae no Miko and the two girls in room number nine showed some interest.

I only regret that I don't have enough money, otherwise I would definitely participate in the auction.

……

On the other side, Bai Ran also arrived outside room number 1 and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

A gentle-sounding female voice entered Bai Ran's ears.

Okay, it turns out to be the voice of a girl at an auction house.

It's just that Bai Ran overthought things.

However, when Bai Ran entered the room and saw the woman lying on the sofa, he was instinctively stunned.

It wasn't that Bai Ran knew this woman.

The other person was simply half-lying on the sofa in a slightly indecent posture.

Given the woman's excellent figure, this behavior seemed to treat Bai Ran as less than human.

"It's nice to see you again, store manager."

Upon seeing the visitor, the woman, who had been reclining on the sofa, immediately sat up.

Then, he slowly approached Bai Ran.

Store manager?

Upon hearing this address, Bai Ran, who was already stunned, felt as if her brain had crashed.

The fact that someone would refer to themselves in this way clearly indicates that they are an acquaintance.

But Bai Ran clearly remembered that there didn't seem to be any mature, older-sister type characters in her friend list.

"you are?"

Clearly, Bai Ran didn't recognize the other person at all.

Although this woman's temperament was somewhat similar to that of the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena whom I had seen before.

But the Lord of Soul Beasts is still recuperating in the forbidden area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

How could it possibly be here?

Besides, there was absolutely nothing at this auction that would attract Gu Yuena.

If it were Di Tian's embryo, Gu Yuena might come to participate, but what about Xue Di's embryo?

Gu Yuena said: We're not familiar with each other.

"Haven't you seen me for just a few days? Does the shop owner not recognize me anymore?"
"Hmph, you men are all the same—you turn your backs on me once you've put your pants on."

The woman was very close, especially when she bent down, her chest was completely exposed.

In a short while, they could almost see Bai Ran's "Supreme Bone".

"But, but I really..."

"Wait, why do you have my employee contract on you?"

Suddenly, Bai Ran sensed the woman's aura and became even more confused.

"That can't be right. I've only signed two employee contracts so far. Where did you come from?"

Bai Ran checked again and found that the only people who had signed employee contracts with him were Lei Yingdian and Yae Shinko.

Why does this woman who suddenly appeared in front of me have the aura of an employee contract?

Could it be that I accidentally sleepwalked one night and did this?

It shouldn’t be.

Besides, the employee contract feature was only recently developed.

Bai Ran: My mind is a mess, I feel like I'm going to grow a tumor.

"Manager, do you really not remember anything from the past?" The woman's next words left Bai Ran completely bewildered.

"All that happened in the past?"

Bai Ran: No, who is this woman? Think hard!

"Hey~ I really don't know who you are, can you give me a hint?"

"Manager, you're still as idiot as ever."

Let's skip the hints and such.

However, I would like to give you a gift, store manager, as a way of repaying your life-saving grace.

As the woman spoke, she took out a piece of emerald green soul bone.

It was the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone that she had previously bought for 50 million gold soul coins.

……

After Bai Ran, looking completely bewildered, accepted the piece of the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone...

When he looked up again, he found that the woman was nowhere to be seen.

"Guest, who allowed you to come in?"
Don't you know that Room Number One is reserved for royalty?!

Not long after the mysterious woman disappeared, a reprimanding voice came from beside him.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Ran was asked to leave by the person in charge of the room.

Everything happened so suddenly that Bai Ran had no time to react.

For a few seconds, Bai Ran wondered if he was under some kind of illusion.

It is suspected that he went mad because he failed to capture the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone.

……

A blonde woman appeared in the sky above the auction house.

It was the same woman who had just appeared in room number one.

However, she has already shed her original disguise.

"Your Highness, have you regained your strength?"

"No."

The blonde woman shook her head.

"This is not urgent."

As the woman spoke, she clutched her chest.

If it weren't for this contract, she would have been dead long ago.

After all, once god-level power is revealed, it will definitely attract the attention of the three dogs.

"The time for his birth is fast approaching."

"Really? Your Highness?"

The lifespan of an ordinary titled Douluo is only a few hundred years.

Over the course of tens of thousands of years, the members protecting the family have changed generation after generation.

They had longed for their birth countless times.

But will we really see it in this generation?

……

Inside the Starlight Auction House.

Bai Ran stumbled back into room number nine and practically plopped down on the sofa.

Sensing the Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone inside the storage ring, Bai Ran still felt a sense of unreality.

This is a priceless treasure that cost a full 5000 million gold soul coins to acquire, and that woman gave it to me so easily.

What is the other party's true identity, and why did they sign an employee contract with me?

A large amount of unknown information, like a mystery, tightly bound Bai Ran.

This plunged him into deep doubt for a time.

At this moment, Bai Ran had lost all interest in the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo in the soul guidance screen.

He just wanted to find out who that woman was.

Bai Ran: Riddlers deserve a terrible death!
Before you leave, you should at least explain your identity clearly!

Moreover, what does it mean to repay my life-saving grace?

A wealthy woman who could casually produce 50 million gold soul coins was not only saved by him, but also became an employee of his shop.

Just thinking about it makes it seem incredibly absurd.
