"Mistress, you should focus more on your cultivation."
Tang San snapped out of his daze and nodded.
The conversation he had had in the secret room of the auction house was still echoing in his mind.
The targets were, of course, Prince Xuexing and the cold-blooded Dugu Bo beside him.
In the end, he agreed to Prince Xuexing's promise that, in addition to the one hundred Zhuge Repeating Crossbows promised at the auction, he would also provide a simplified version of the weapon that was slightly less powerful but more suitable for large-scale deployment by the army.
The price, of course, was a large sum of gold soul coins promised by Prince Xuexing, as well as some rare metal materials.
"Teacher, I understand."
Tang San spoke:
"The one who was next to Prince Xuexing earlier, he truly lives up to his title of Poison Douluo. I feel that his poison skills are unfathomable."
"Xue Xing is a very cunning person and not easy to deal with."
"If we act too arrogantly, what if that Poison Douluo harbors ill intentions towards us..."
"The consequences would be unimaginable!"
"However, with enough gold soul coins, one can also purchase more cultivation resources and improve strength more quickly."
Yu Xiaogang remained silent, and Flander beside him also did not speak. The group silently returned to Shrek Academy.
Upon arriving at the entrance of Shrek Academy, Flander temporarily parted ways with Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.
Watching Tang San's departing figure, Flander whispered to Yu Xiaogang:
"Why do you think His Majesty Haotian is so reluctant to tell Xiao San about his true parentage?"
"If he had made it clear earlier, why would he still be wary of a mere Poison Douluo today!"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"Your Majesty's thoughts are beyond our comprehension."
"But now it seems that you also know that the mistress is meticulous and far more shrewd than ordinary people. She has her own plans."
"Right now, all we can do is try our best to help him."
He then changed the subject.
"By the way, on his way back just now, Xiao San mentioned more than a dozen kinds of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to me. Do you... have any connections with them?"
Upon hearing this, Flander's eyes lit up, and a shrewd look, typical of a businessman, appeared on his face.
"A way? Of course there is!"
"It's this money..."
Yu Xiaogang glared at him.
"You're still short of money? The mistress isn't short of money either!"
"You, Flander, have always loved doing business. Do you expect me to do the math for you about whether investing in a mistress is worthwhile?"
Flanders immediately laughed heartily and patted his chest.
"Just kidding, just kidding!"
"Since you've asked, Xiao Gang, of course it's no problem! Leave it to me!"
...
Meanwhile, inside a speeding luxury carriage.
Dugu Bo, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, and a dark green soul power fluctuation suddenly erupted, which he then forcibly suppressed and contained.
He opened his left hand, clenched his fist, and the left arm bone of the ten-thousand-year-old red-tailed golden ring snake that had just been absorbed had perfectly fused with his arm, a faint purple-black light flashing and disappearing.
His soul power also reached level ninety-three!
Moreover, Dugu Boneng could clearly feel that the Azure Serpent King's deadly poison within his body seemed to have become more condensed and more controllable as his soul power broke through.
It seems that this soul bone complements his martial soul perfectly!
"Whoa—"
The soul beast mount pulling the carriage seemed disturbed by the aura of the Poison Douluo, and neighed uneasily. The coachman quickly pulled it back and stopped.
Then, Prince Xuexing's voice came from outside the carriage, carrying a hint of surprise.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your further advancement!"
Dugu Bo concealed his aura and immediately replied, "I must thank the royal family for their sponsorship at the previous auction!"
The next moment, Prince Xuexing lifted the carriage curtain, his face beaming with smiles.
"Your Majesty is too modest."
"I intend to immediately launch a military campaign against the Star Luo Empire!"
"Now that Your Majesty has completed your breakthrough, if there is nothing else, why don't you come to the palace with me?"
Dugu Bo pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Can."
Prince Snowstar was overjoyed.
"Alright! Drive! Return to the capital immediately!"
