This Star City is indeed “a waste of resources waiting to be revitalized”!
"Brother Xing, cough cough..."
At this time, in a dilapidated thatched house in the city, Dugu Xing was squatting on the ground with his face covered in dust, lighting a broken stove.
"Damn it, the vents of this broken furnace are blocked, and the energy stone's heat cannot escape."
On the bed in the room, there was a person curled up under the quilt. Ye Ru poked out her little head, with a small face with ice crystals, revealing the bursts of coldness, which made the already cold room even more chilly.
The heat from the stove could not be dissipated, so Dugu Xing had the power of his soul to wrap around Ye Ru's body and use his body to warm her. He looked at her with love and care: "In comparison, Brother Xing is all incompetent, and he has never been able to do it until now."
Find out the whereabouts of the Fire Spirit Pearl."
"No." Ye Ru shook her head quickly and lowered her head with guilt: "It's Ru'er's fault. It was Ru'er who got Brother Xing into trouble. If it weren't for Ru'er, Brother Xing wouldn't be forced to come to this deserted city. If I had known,
Ru'er shouldn't have been so willful to come to you in the first place, she might as well have died."
"Nonsense!" When Duguxing heard the word death, his heart tightened. He hugged Ye Ru tightly in his arms and said, "Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? If you die,
, what should I do?
For you, I even gave up the throne to Dugu Feng. You owe me, and I want you to spend your whole life to compensate me. Without my permission, you have no right to decide your own life without permission. You are mine.
"
Bang bang bang...
There was applause in the room.
"It's really a touching scene. I didn't expect that the eighth prince of the Zhenwu Empire would actually be an infatuated person."
After the applause, there was a burst of laughter.
"Who! You are so brave, you dare to sneak into our Star King's palace and eavesdrop on my speech."
Dugu Xing was furious, and crackling thunder and lightning burst out from his body. Outside the dilapidated room, a young man in white stood on the snow, with a soft smile on his face. Under his gaze, a bolt of thunder and lightning emitted soul power and was blasted to death.
Coming, the young man smiled faintly, flicked his finger, and a rune shot out, blocking all the thunder.
The thunder and lightning dispersed, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of the young man in white, it was Dugu Xing!
"It's you!" Duguxing looked at the uninvited guest in front of him with vigilance, and said coldly: "What do you want to do?"
"I'm just making a deal with you."
As he spoke, there were sounds of breaking through the air coming from a distance. The young man in white frowned and thought. Suddenly, within a radius of a hundred meters, poisonous ivy shrouded and ferociously wrapped up, blocking all those who came in the poisonous ivy.
outside.
Dugu Yi's body, shrouded in poison ivy, suddenly tensed up. He glanced at the room behind him, and with deep worry, gritted his teeth and said, "What on earth do you want to say!"
"Haha, there is no need to be nervous, Eighth Prince. I am not here to settle scores with you. Although King Arrow was once your protector, he has never obeyed your orders after all. I will not put my prejudice against him on you.
It’s so cold outside and there are still snowflakes falling, doesn’t His Highness the Eighth Prince plan to invite me to sit inside?”
"Inconvenient!" Dugu Xing looked at Luo Chen coldly and refused.
Luo Chen touched his nose and said with a smile: "This is a bit embarrassing. Is it really okay for you to simply refuse like this? It will make me lose face."
A slight cough came from behind, but it was Ye Ru who came out wrapped in a quilt.
Dugu Xing's body became even more tense, and when he turned around, his cold face was replaced by a rare tenderness: "Nonsense, it's so cold outside, what are you doing out here? Go inside quickly."
"Brother Xing." Ye Ru glanced at Dugu Xing with an angry look, then raised her head and looked curiously at the young man in white not far away. This was the first time she had seen such a beautiful young man. Yes, he was just beautiful. In her opinion,
Luo Chen was so pretty, and his skin was whiter than hers. Even she was a little jealous.
"Hello, Sister Ye." Luo Chen's face was filled with a bright smile, and he spoke very sweetly, which made people feel good.
"Hello." There was a faint blush on Ye Ru's pale face, which made Dugu Xing, who was already a little unhappy, even more unhappy. He stepped back and came to Ye Ru's side, as if to declare his sovereignty, holding his hand
He stopped Ye Ru, who was wrapped in a quilt, and warned: "This is my king's woman!"
Luo Chen rolled his eyes, but Ye Ru's face turned red and she said angrily: "Brother Xing, what are you talking about?"
She was a little angry. How could she not hear the meaning in Dugu Xing's voice? What was she thinking? She was so angry.
"The Eighth Prince is worrying too much." Luo Chen wiped his sweat secretly. He admitted that Ye Ru was very beautiful. I felt pity for her, but was he thinking too much? I was speechless.
"Are you sure you want to keep telling me outside that you can bear it, but can she bear the cold weather?"
With that said, Luo Chen looked at Ye Ru again. As expected, as the rumors said, the cold air penetrated into the bones, causing the body to feel chilly.
"Humph!" Dugu Xing snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and led Ye Ru into the house. Luo Chen smiled slightly and followed behind.
In the room, there were ancient tables and chairs on display. Luo Chen looked strange. Some of the chairs had dense cracks on their surfaces, which made people think that they had this weird idea of being able to sit on people?
"I said you are a prince after all. Even if you have to rebuild the city and save money, you don't have to be so frugal, right? At the very least, you have to live your life well now, right? Why are you so miserable? Do you want me to give you some help?"
Luo Chen was also making a joke, knowing that after his words fell, before Dugu Xing could say anything, Ye Ru felt a little in debt: "Then I would like to thank this young master for his generosity."
"Well……"
The corner of Luo Chen's mouth twitched. Seeing Luo Chen getting a little deflated under Ye Ru's hand, Dugu Xing felt happy and said: "Man, you are spitting and nailing. After all, you are also a young soul king, and you don't know how to keep your words."
Bar?"
"Young Soul King?" Ye Ru was shocked, and when she looked at Luo Chen again, her expression changed.
She didn't know Luo Chen, but she had heard rumors about the young soul king. It was said that the collapse of the Arrow King and the Thirteenth Prince's Palace was caused by him breaking the luck plaque of the Arrow Prince's Palace. There were also rumors that,
Ye Rou's disappearance and the death of the seventh prince Dugu Xuan are also inseparable from him.
Even Dugu Yi's death was related to him, which was a bit of a frame-up.
Anyway, now in Jinling City, all the news about the young soul king is going crazy.
Luo Chen rolled his eyes. He dug around and found a gold coin: "Is this... enough?"
He is also poor! Li Ruotong is in charge of all his money. On weekdays, even if he wants to use it, he has to apply to Li Ruotong before he can get it.
A gold coin? The sneer on Dugu Xing's face became even more intense, even with a little ridicule, as if to say: "Poor guy!"
This is very embarrassing.
Ye Ru was also speechless. This was perhaps the poorest soul king she had ever seen, right?
"Ahem...that's not important, the important thing is this."
Luo Chen turned his palm, and in an instant, a heat quickly filled the entire room. The cold receded, and Ye Ru felt a warmth in the "ice cellar" deep inside.
Dugu Xing's pupils shrank slightly, staring at the bead beating in the palm of Luo Chen's hand, and squeezed out one word from his teeth: "Fire Spirit Bead!"
Taking a deep breath, Dugu Xing was ecstatic. He suppressed the restlessness in his heart, shifted his gaze, and landed on Luo Chen again. He also turned his palm upwards, and a golden seal jade appeared in his palm, exuding a dazzling golden light.
Astonishingly, it was the golden seal belonging to Dugu Xing.
He declared that he was willing to exchange his gold seal for the Fire Spirit Bead. In his opinion, since Luo Chen came with the Fire Spirit Bead, it was natural for him to get the gold seal.
Dugu Xing did not hesitate, and waved his sleeves forward, and the golden seal fell in front of Luo Chen. However, Luo Chen did not even look at the golden seal, and waved his sleeves, together with the fire spirit bead, in Dugu Xing's puzzled way.
Under his gaze, the golden seal fell back together.
"What do you mean? The words I spoke are like water being poured out. I am determined to get the Fire Spirit Pearl. This golden seal is the exchange I promised."
"Brother Xing!"
"I have made up my mind." Dugu Xing insisted.
Luo Chen yawned and said, "Forget about the golden seal, I came here today to ask for something else from you."
"What?" Dugu Xing was puzzled. The most precious thing in his hand was this golden seal. He didn't even want the gold seal, so what did he want?
"It's not a precious thing, it's just the half of the Purple Nether Vine in your hand, Dugu Shi."
"Purple Youvine? What do you want with this thing?"
Dugu Xing was a little confused. Ever since Miss Ziyi took away half of the purple vine, the remaining half was about to wither. Even the purple vine no longer bears any fruit. The remaining vine is just a poison ivy.
Of no use value.
Luo Chen sighed softly: "The Eighth Prince wants this Fire Spirit Pearl just to save his beloved. I want the half Purple Nether Vine also for the sake of my beloved."
Dugu Xing frowned: "I can't take out the Purple Nether Vine for the time being. Can I exchange it for something else?"
"I only want the Purple Nether Vine, and I believe that the Eighth Prince will not let me down. Maybe the Purple Nether Vine is not worth mentioning in His Highness's eyes, but in my eyes, its importance is as important as the Fire Spirit Pearl in His Highness's eyes.
The portions are the same."
"Brother Xing." Ye Ru pulled Dugu Yi's sleeve.
Duguxing thought for a moment and said, "Okay! But you have to give me some time."
"Then I would like to thank His Highness the Eighth Prince." Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief. His goal had been achieved. Without any pause, Luo Chen turned around and stepped out of the room.
"Wait." Dugu Xing's voice sounded from behind, and Luo Chen stopped.
"You just gave me the Fire Spirit Pearl?"
"What else?" Luo Chen smiled slightly and said: "Since the Eighth Prince is a person who values love and justice, he will not do such treacherous things as a villain. I am in the Black Demon Abyss. When the time comes, the Eighth Prince will
After getting the Purple Nether Vine, all you need to do is spread the word, and I will come to pick it up in person."
After the words fell, Luo Chen's figure disappeared from sight.
Looking at Luo Chen's disappearing figure, a complex and grateful look flashed in Dugu Xing's eyes, and he murmured softly: "Luo Chen, young soul king? I don't care who you are, this time, I, Dugu Xing, owe you a favor."
