Chapter 168: Xu Jiujiu's Marriage Invitation, High-Altitude Detection Soul Guide (4K)
Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.
Today is the Star Luo Empire's annual noble banquet, where the royal family unites the core of the empire. Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei and the eldest princess Xu Jiujiu both attended. White Tiger Duke Dai Haodu, who was stationed in the Mingdou Mountains, sent his eldest son Dai Yueheng to represent him.
The bright and warm sun poured down from high in the sky. The aristocratic man was wearing an exquisite dress, and his oiled hair was so shiny that it reflected the light. The woman was sitting elegantly in the carriage, and she did not forget to show a friendly smile when she saw the common people on the roadside.
The royal guard opened the door, and the extravagant decoration behind the door decorated the faces of the nobles with bold gold.
The Xingluo nobles wore gorgeous costumes and brought the most beautiful female companions. They greeted each other and constantly explored the possibility of exchanging family interests behind the scenes.
The crisp sound of wine glasses clinking was heard, and Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu drank the wine in their glasses. Xu Jiawei glanced at the Star Luo nobles, fixed his eyes on Dai Yaoheng, patted Xu Jiujiu's white palm, and whispered:
"Royal sister, you go and have a chat with Yao Heng."
"Um."
Xu Jiujiu picked up a glass of wine, and while handling the conversation of the Star Luo nobles with ease, she slowly walked towards Dai Yueheng, but halfway through, she suddenly felt a cold current penetrating her body, as if an evil ghost was staring at her.
The princess looked around alertly, but did not find anyone suspicious, until the cold and biting breath hit the side of her neck, she suddenly looked back and saw a young face with some impression.
"Are you... Viscount Mo Xing?"
A trace of disgust flashed imperceptibly in Jiujiu's eyes. Viscount Mo Xing was a notorious scum, bullying men and dominating women, and Xu Jiawei always tolerated it because of the face of his father who died in the war.
"Your Highness Princess, long time no see."
Viscount Mo Xing spoke softly, but another person's voice came out. He was stunned for a long time, and then his expression changed with horror. He didn't care so much, and hurriedly took Viscount Mo Xing's sleeve and pulled him to a remote corner. , said angrily:
"Ning Bai, are you crazy? This is the noble banquet that the Xingluo royal family likes the most. There are four National Protector Douluo hidden outside the palace. What if they find out!"
"Broken Star, Tiansha, Juli, and Giant Hammer." Ling Bai named the four major titles one by one, "The four of them met me once in Star Luo City, but they are not qualified enough to see through my disguise. "
"The moment the twin soul guides shattered, I set off for the princess's palace. I didn't find you, but I found Nebula Douluo. According to what she said, the banquet would be held until late at night. I didn't want to wait around, so I came over to attend a court meeting. The party is ready."
"What about Viscount Mo Xing? Did you kill him?"
"That guy was riding a dragon scale horse and was rampaging through Star Luo City. By chance, he came towards me. I knocked him out and threw him into the back garden of the palace."
Xu Jiujiu said in annoyance: "You should just use some evil soul master tactics to kill him, so as not to smear the royal family all day long!"
Ling Bai looked at her strangely for a long time. Perhaps because she had taken over some of the government affairs, her acting style seemed to have a bit of fierceness, and there was a danger of using the evil soul master to eliminate dissidents.
"Let's get down to business." He brought the conversation back on track, "Has the Noumenon Sect accepted your reward order?"
"Those are the relics of the gods and 100 million gold soul coins!"
Mentioning the price paid, Xu Jiujiu said with a somewhat painful expression: "The Noumenon Sect accepted the mission yesterday, and will sneak into the Sun and Moon Empire with a little preparation.
They planned to dig tunnels and catch Mingdetang by surprise, so the actual attack would be launched later.
The Noumenon Sect has spent a lot of money this time. The sect leader Du Bushai personally leads 70% of the elite of the sect. In addition, Mingde Hall is the headquarters of soul masters. There are several ninth-level soul masters lurking inside. It is not so easy to compete with the snipe and the clam for profit. Simple, be careful. "
After a long pause for two seconds, those eyes as bright as stars said with a slight twinkle: "If possible, try to kill as many people from the Noumenon Sect and Mingde Hall."
"Driving the tiger to devour the wolf?" Ling Bai put it bluntly.
"yes."
Xu Jiujiu nodded candidly: "The Sun and Moon Empire is the common enemy of the three countries that originally belonged to Douluo Continent, and Mingdetang is the soul guidance research and development center of the Sun and Moon Empire. The more serious their damage is, the greater the interests of the three countries will be in disguise.
As for the Noumenon Sect... the Tianhun Empire and the Xingluo Empire are two countries in the final analysis. Xingluo does not want their allies to be too weak, nor does they want them to be too strong.
By the way, you should have a grudge against the Noumenon Sect. Last time, even Chen Yu chased Chen Yu to the hotel bed and killed him. "
Ling Bai didn't respond, just smiled meaningfully.
For a long time, he felt that this smile was quite disgusting. He wanted to turn around and leave, but he was worried about letting a super evil Douluo shuttle freely among the Star Luo nobles. If any important person accidentally offended this guy, wouldn't the Star Luo Empire be in trouble? The loss was in vain.
He rolled his eyes angrily, stood beside Ling Bai for a long time and held his arm, and the two walked back to the banquet hall together.
As a royal princess, Jiujiu must look the most glamorous when attending banquets. Her long golden hair is permed into loose waves and draped over her shoulders. Her fishtail evening dress makes her waistline as soft as water, attracting aristocratic men. Sideways glance.
What surprised them was that the person who had the honor to accompany Princess Jiujiu was actually Viscount Mo Xing, a well-known scumbag among the nobility, and he looked reluctant, as if he disliked Princess Jiujiu for being too busy.
Although they were wondering when Princess Jiujiu became so close to Viscount Moxing, no one would ask directly at the palace banquet. Everyone put on a polite mask and separated and joined in moderation under the performance of the palace band. The men were humorous and the women were reserved and elegant.
"It feels more tiring to be polite than to fight."
Ling Bai sighed. Rather than traveling with a beauty, it is better to say that he is traveling with a beauty threat. Even in the Xingluo royal family, Xu Jiujiu is the most popular one.
With an angelic face and top-level cultivation talent, countless noble children have set their eyes on this piece of fat meat. The eyes from all directions are like sharp knives, wishing to stab "Viscount Moxing" through the heart.
"Since we are here, it's just right for Lord Shiyu to enjoy the Xingluo palace banquet."
Xu Jiujiu's pace is moderate, and there is a quirky smile beside the shaking star earrings.
"Princess Jiujiu."
A tough voice broke in, and the light hit the heroic man, illuminating the lines of muscles under the suit. As his footsteps fell, the breath of steel came to his face.
The eldest son of the Duke of White Tiger, Dai Yuheng.
After the Soul Master Competition, Dai Yuheng completed the graduation assessment of the Shrek Inner Court and came to the Xingluo Empire Army to share his father's worries. After the experience of blood and fire, Dai Yuheng developed more and more towards Dai Hao's iron-blooded temperament, just like a tiger father and a dog son.
Xu Jiujiu took a glass of red wine from a passing waiter, touched the glass with Dai Yuheng's hand, took a sip, and left a faint lip mark on the rim of the glass.
"Viscount Mo Xing, I have heard of your name for a long time."
Dai Yuheng raised the glass and took a few steps forward, with an unquenchable flame in his eyes. This moment made Ling Bai realize one thing, this old classmate seemed to have someone in his heart, and the object of his affection was Xu Jiujiu. He came back from the army with joy, but saw the goddess getting close to a scum, and at this moment, the nameless fire was burning vigorously.
"White Tiger, hearing about you is worse than meeting you in person."
The sound of the two wine glasses colliding was extremely sharp, like a silver needle piercing someone's brain. At the moment when his hair stood on end, Dai Yuheng's mind was not aware of anything. His retreat was completely an instinctive reaction of his body. He took evasive action when he sensed the threat.
Dai Yuheng looked down at the wine stained on his cuffs, his tiger eyes shining brightly, and he was surprised: "Is Viscount Mo Xing so sharp? It turns out that what people say cannot be trusted..."
He heard that Viscount Mo Xing was unlearned, but he didn't expect that he was actually a hidden powerful soul master. He clasped his fists and turned away.
The descendants of the White Tiger were defeated. Is Viscount Mo Xing a master?
The nobles were all speculating, and some even unconsciously began to applaud. The applause was one after another, as if what had just happened was a major event that was worthy of being recorded in the annals of history.
The applause gradually died down, and Xu Jiujiu spoke quietly: "My brother wants to take his relationship with Duke Baihu to a new level."
"Hmm, then what?" Ling Bai took a fancy to a deep-sea lobster and led Xu Jiujiu to the dining area.
"Dai Yuheng and I are of similar age and have similar talents. My brother wants the royal family to marry the Duke of White Tiger..."
"Sorry, I ruined your plan."
"Can you apologize properly?" Xu Jiujiu was speechless, "At least give me some compensation."
"Sure, what do you want?"
"I think you still have charm...
Are you interested in being a princess's consort?"
"Are you so hungry that you're not choosing food?" Ling Bai raised his eyebrows, "Evil spirit masters won't be spared?"
Xu Jiujiu smiled as beautiful as dusk: "The essence of the world is equal exchange. To enjoy the respect of the royal family, you have to pay for the interests of the empire.
My brother didn't really see the White Tiger lineage clearly. The Duke of White Tiger, Dai Hao, is upright and incorruptible. Dai Yuheng is exactly the same as his father. There's no need to be nice to them. They will die for the Xingluo Empire. It's not for anything else, just because this is the motherland they have protected for more than 10,000 years. It doesn't matter whether I marry or not.
But you are different. You are very young and have unlimited potential in the future. The head of the Xingluo Worship Hall is too old. He is dying, even the Medical Immortal Douluo can't keep him alive.
In terms of reason, the Xingluo Empire is in urgent need of a guardian. If I can use myself to tie you up, it will be a blessing for both me and the empire.
In terms of emotion, Dai Yuheng grew up in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and Shrek Academy. I had never seen him before the last competition, and there is no relationship between us. At least you saved me in the Youyao Forest and entered my bedroom..."
Xu Jiujiu's face flushed slightly: "This is a great opportunity. Borrowing Mo Xing The identity of Viscount whitewashes the evil soul master. From then on, you are still the feared evil soul master Death Prison Douluo in the outside world.
In the Xingluo Empire, you are the princess's consort and the Viscount Moxing. I am the only one who inherits the Star Crown Martial Soul besides my brother. If you do something for the empire in secret, you will at least be on an equal footing with the White Tiger Duke in the future. "
Her eyes looking at Ling Bai seemed to be mixed with thousands of emotions, including the shyness of actively seeking love, the madness of colluding with the evil soul master, and the ambition to climb up.
A young super evil Douluo, with extreme attributes and unlimited future, this knife is too sharp. If there is a chance to hold it, no one wants to miss it in vain.
With the support of Death Prison Douluo behind him, it is easy for the Xingluo Empire and Xu Jiujiu to implement plans and target certain enemies. The evil soul master's irregular killing is a smoke bomb.
The royal band played with all their might, and the people walking and socializing on the dance floor all looked radiant, like shining diamonds under the spotlight. She clenched her fists for a long time, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ling Bai's face as Viscount Mo Xing. She seemed to hear his heartbeat like a drum.
"No."
Ling Bai shook his head slowly and firmly. There were great benefits in agreeing to this. Xu Jiujiu was the second most important person in the Xingluo Empire after Xu Jiawei. With her, he could mobilize nearly half of the resources of the entire Xingluo Empire. However, if they took the closest step, their identities would be exposed.
If Xu Jiujiu proposed to choose between the Xingluo Empire and the Jiubao Liuli Sect, things would be very serious and it would be easy to backfire. The Xingluo Empire would completely go to the opposite side, so it would be better to maintain a pure interest relationship.
Hearing this, Xu Jiujiu's eyebrows were raised and she said angrily: "I almost begged you to marry me, but you didn't agree!"
She thought that her identity, status, appearance, talent, and the hidden relationship between the two were enough to make Death Prison Douluo excited. Who would have thought that Death Prison Douluo was really a determined man who could run a horse on his arm!
Xu Jiujiu was furious and raged for several times. Seeing Ling Bai who was unyielding, his momentum gradually weakened and he sighed:
"If you don't agree, then don't agree. Then can I ask you for a favor?"
"I haven't seen you for more than two years. Your Highness Princess is good at political tactics."
There is an old saying that if you want to open a door, you must first ask for a window.
The princess and her husband opened the window, and after being rejected, they opened their mouths. Xu Jiujiu was sure that Death Prison Douluo would not reject him twice in a row.
"Lord Death Prison is wise and powerful, and nothing can be hidden from your sharp eyes."
The princess flattered a little, and took the initiative to pick up a piece of shellfish meat and put it to Ling Bai's mouth. The young noble who had a crush on Xu Jiujiu in the distance saw this scene and couldn't help biting his handkerchief with tears.
"It seems that what you want to do is not small, otherwise you wouldn't be so attentive." Ling Bai bit the tender and juicy shellfish meat and said lightly.
"I want the design of the ninth-level high-altitude detection soul guide. It is stored in the secret room of Mingde Hall. It would be best if I could bring back a physical one."
"You have a big appetite. You have set your sights on the ninth-level soul guide."
"There are even bigger ones." Xu Jiujiu said with a smile, "Xingluo Empire also has connections in Mingde Hall. A few days ago, we spent 30 million gold soul coins and bought five words from that person.
Humanoid soul guide."
Xu Jiujiu deliberately made his voice sweet: "If you can bring it to Xingluo Empire, you will be Duke Moxing, the first meritorious official of Xingluo Empire in ten thousand years.
Even if you are hunted by Shrek Academy, we dare to protect you at the risk of the world. How about it, do you want to consider it..."
