bdsm-fiction Chapter 168 Cooperation with the Star Luo Empire?
Chapter 168 Cooperation with the Star Luo Empire?
This auction mainly featured soul tools, but it was just an ordinary auction with no high-end items.
A level-six soul tool was the final item to be auctioned.
For ordinary soul masters, it might be considered rare, but in Huo Yuhao's eyes, it was nothing special.
The auction ended quickly.
After Huo Yuhao paid, the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife was handed to him.
The black carving knife came into my hand, its icy touch traveling through my palm.
In that instant, he even sensed a hint of excitement in his usually composed teacher, Electrox, within his spiritual sea.
He was preparing to return to the hotel immediately so that his teacher could use his skills to reveal the true form of the Blade of Life.
But just then, the auctioneer named Qingya, who had been on stage, suddenly appeared and interrupted his plan.
"Young Master Huo," she said with a professional smile, her voice soft and pleasant, "our boss would like to invite you to come and meet us."
Huo Yuhao paused, looking at the woman before him. He didn't rush to answer, but instead asked, "I don't think I know your boss, do I?"
"I'm not sure about that." Her voice remained gentle. "But our boss said that if Young Master Huo doesn't want to go see her, she can come to see you in person."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh; he found it rather amusing.
He then thought for a moment and nodded.
"Alright, then lead the way."
"Yuhao!"
Suddenly, Wang Dong's shout came from behind.
(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)
Huo Yuhao turned his head and saw that Wang Dong and the others all had worried expressions on their faces and were staring intently at him.
He gave everyone a reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
He looked at Wang Yan one last time and said, "Teacher Wang, you should go back first. Don't worry about me."
Huo Yuhao followed Qingya all the way to the top floor of the auction house.
At the end of the corridor stood a magnificent red door.
Qingya stepped forward herself and slowly opened the large red door.
She stepped aside and gestured for Huo Yuhao to proceed.
Huo Yuhao glanced at her and stepped inside.
The reason he dared to come alone was not because he was so confident that no one would lay a hand on him here.
Rather, they are confident in their own abilities.
He now has the strength to fight against anyone below the Title Douluo level.
Above the Title Douluo level, even if he can't win, he can still escape.
It is because he has this confidence that he dares to be so composed.
As Huo Yuhao entered the office, his gaze quickly swept around the room.
The office is spacious and clean, with a simple yet stylish decor.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the dazzling night view of Xingluo City unfolds.
In the vast space, there was only one person.
It was a young woman standing by the window, her back to him.
Hearing footsteps, she turned around.
"My name is Xu Jiujiu," she said with a faint smile, her voice clear and melodious. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"
The one who summoned Huo Yuhao was none other than the princess of the Star Luo Empire.
She was simply carrying out her brother's "orders".
Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback. He was somewhat surprised, not expecting that this so-called "boss" would actually be such a young and beautiful girl.
He smiled and said, "It seems you know me quite well, but you only know one name about your situation."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu immediately replied, "I am a princess of the Star Luo Empire, the younger sister of the current Star Luo Emperor, and also the owner of this auction house."
She paused, then looked directly at Huo Yuhao.
"Is there anything else you'd like to know?"
She never intended to hide her identity.
Because she knew that if you wanted to win someone over, there was one very important thing... and that was to be sincere!
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. The next chapter is even more exciting: Chapter 169 Cooperation with the Star Luo Empire? We look forward to your visit.
Although he had guessed that the other party's identity was not simple, he did not expect that this young woman was actually a princess of the Star Luo Empire.
He immediately began to think about the other party's purpose in wanting to see him this time.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's thoughtful expression, he spoke again after a long while.
"Don't overthink it." Her voice was calm and composed. "Your talent is exceptional. The Empire simply wants to maintain good relations with you before you grow stronger."
Huo Yuhao was surprised again, as he was astonished by Xu Jiujiu's directness.
This princess was surprisingly frank.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's expression, Xu Jiujiu said again, "Although the Star Luo Empire is not as strong as Shrek Academy, it has some resources that Shrek Academy does not have."
Huo Yuhao chuckled softly, "I didn't expect Princess Jiujiu to be so frank."
After a long while, she walked to the sofa, sat down gracefully, and gestured for Huo Yuhao to sit down and chat as well.
"When you're with smart people, there's no need to hide anything."
She had read Huo Yuhao's information and knew that although the boy was young, his maturity far surpassed that of his peers, so she did not treat him as a child.
"I know you are highly regarded at Shrek Academy," she said, her gaze falling on Huo Yuhao's face, "but if you don't want to stay at the academy in the future, you might as well come to my Star Luo Empire, where the empire will surely treat you as a revered figure."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao did not rush to answer.
He wasn't really planning to stay at Shrek Academy, but he also had little interest in becoming a retainer in the Star Luo Empire.
However, meeting the Star Luo royal family today gave Huo Yuhao a thought.
He thought for a moment, then slowly said, "What happened after that is too far in the future, and there's no point in talking about it now."
"However, for the time being, Her Highness the Princess and I could cooperate."
"cooperate?"
For a long time, her beautiful eyes stared at Huo Yuhao, sparkling with curiosity.
"How will we cooperate?"
Huo Yuhao did not answer directly. He raised his hand and pointed, and several items appeared on the table in front of the two of them.
They were several small and exquisite soul-guided ray guns, each with a different shape, but all with smooth lines and a faint metallic luster.
As the behind-the-scenes owner of this auction house, Xu Jiujiu sometimes works as an auctioneer, so he is naturally familiar with soul tools.
With just one glance, she knew that these seemingly small soul-guided ray guns in front of her were not simple.
She casually picked up a soul-guided ray gun about the length of her forearm, slowly poured soul power into it, and felt the operation of the soul-guided core.
A moment later, she looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Level 4 Soul Guidance Device".
She then looked at Huo Yuhao and asked, "The cooperation you mentioned, is it referring to these soul tools?"
Huo Yuhao nodded.
But Xu Jiujiu laughed, a laugh that carried a hint of disdain.
"Although the Star Luo Empire's soul tools are not as advanced as the Sun Moon Empire's, my auction house has no shortage of these things."
She was telling the truth; the Star Luo Empire had a stable channel for smuggling soul tools from the Sun Moon Bright Virtue Hall.
She really didn't care about those few level-four soul-guided ray guns.
Huo Yuhao was not surprised by her reaction.
He chuckled. "If Princess Jiu Jiu doesn't find these soul-guided ray guns appealing..."
He paused.
"And what about these?"
As he spoke, he casually waved his hand.
Several cylindrical objects of varying lengths suddenly appeared on the ground beside them.
The objects were entirely black, cone-shaped at one end, and covered with intricate patterns, exuding a chilling aura.
He stared at it for a long time.
Then... she froze instantly!
That stunningly beautiful face could no longer remain calm!
She jumped to her feet, her eyes wide, her voice filled with disbelief: "This is...!"
She took a deep breath: "A fixed-position soul-guided missile?!"
