Chapter 138 Xingluo's overtures
Dai Yueheng choked on his words; what else could he say?
Ignoring the strange looks from his teammates at Xingluo National Academy, Dai Yueheng lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Captain Jiujiu, I was just being nosy."
She ignored him for a long time and walked resolutely toward Shrek Academy.
Dai Yueheng sighed inwardly. This whole thing was a mess—
Having finished this crucial round-robin tournament, Shrek Academy's advancement is practically a done deal. The group plans to return to the hotel to rest and prepare for the upcoming battles.
On the way, Xu Sanshi started pestering Jiang Nannan again.
At his insistence and with Bei Bei's encouragement, Xu Sanshi teamed up with Jiang Nannan in this round-robin tournament against Zheng Tian Academy, and made a splash with the Xuanwu Awakening.
Xu Sanshi originally thought that Jiang Nannan would treat him better afterward, but who knew that it was just wishful thinking. Jiang Nannan still treated him with the same cold attitude.
However, Xu Sanshi did not give up. This attitude of never giving up despite repeated defeats and this persistent effort puzzled everyone, especially the girls in the team.
Through their interactions and performances in the competition over the past few days, they could see that Xu Sanshi, though seemingly cheeky, was quite reliable when it mattered. While his looks were far from Huo Yuhao's supermodel-like appearance, Xu Sanshi was an excellent choice in terms of ability, talent, and character.
I don't know why Jiang Nannan has such a strong prejudice against Xu Sanshi.
Just then, Xu Sanshi suddenly stared straight ahead, looking as if he was about to drool.
"So beautiful!"
Only then did everyone notice that a beautiful woman with purple hair and palace attire had appeared in front of them, looking at them with a gentle and dignified smile.
This is none other than Princess Xu Jiujiu of Xingluo.
At this moment, Xu Jiujiu was wearing a light gold palace dress, which, combined with her stunning beauty that rivaled Jiang Nannan's, gave her an elegant and noble air.
"6
Ning Tian and Ling Luochen suddenly felt that they could understand Jiang Nannan.
This Xu Sanshi, he claims to be devoted to Jiang Nannan and only loves her, but he drools over anyone prettier he sees.
Actions speak louder than words. Who would believe someone who claims to be single-minded when they say they've always done something?
He Caitou glanced at Jiang Nannan, who was keeping her head down and not saying a word, and then glanced at Xu Sanshi. His eyes flickered slightly, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
After a long while, she lifted the sides of her long skirt with both hands, bowed slightly, and gave the Shrek Academy members a standard court greeting.
"It is an honor to meet the prodigies of Shrek Academy today. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Xu Jiujiu, the princess of the Star Luo Empire."
The Shrek members also realized what was happening and bowed to the Star Luo Princess in greeting.
Xu Jiujiu smiled and looked at Huo Yuhao, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes, "Yuhao, you fought very well just now."
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly. "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. You flatter me."
"How could that be an overstatement? I know your talent, so please go easy on me on the field."
Upon hearing Xu Jiujiu's words, Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan, though outwardly showing no change in expression, both appeared to be on high alert.
Oh no! It smells like a vixen!
Everyone else looked on with amusement.
Xu Sanshi looked at Huo Yuhao with envy, and muttered to Bei Bei beside him, "How come Yuhao has beautiful women everywhere he goes?"
Beibei rolled her eyes at Xu Sanshi with disdain, "Idiot."
Zhang Lexuan stepped forward to block Huo Yuhao's path. Although she had a smile on her face, Huo Yuhao felt as if lightning had flashed through the air—
"I wonder what business Princess Jiu Jiu has with us?"
Xu Jiujiu said apologetically, "It's like this, our Starlight Auction House will be holding a top-tier auction tomorrow night. Auctions of this caliber usually only happen once or twice a year. Only our most distinguished guests are invited. If you are free tomorrow night, you are welcome to attend the auction. I'm sure there will be something that interests you."
Then she took out a stack of exquisite gold-embossed invitations and handed them to Huo Yuhao, "There is one item in the auction that is very suitable for you, Yuhao. Please do come and honor us."
Then she lifted her skirt again to curtsy, slowly backed away, and then left.
Ma Xiaotao walked up to Huo Yuhao, casually pinched the soft flesh on his waist, and said with a half-smile, "Oh—our little Yuhao is really charming, even the princess personally came to deliver an invitation."
Huo Yuhao twitched, scratching his head awkwardly. "No, not really. But Princess Jiujiu is right. The Starlight Auction House is the property of the Star Luo Royal Family. The items inside are all very precious, and there are definitely a lot of good things. I even heard that a level 8 soul tool that was close to level 9 appeared at their top auction."
"So, does everyone want to participate?"
Wang Yan cast an inquiring glance at Zhang Lexuan, after all, Zhang Lexuan was the highest-ranking person among them, not him.
Zhang Lexuan thought for a moment, glanced at the students around her who were eager to try, and smiled, "The princess has extended a warm invitation, wouldn't it be disrespectful to refuse? Let's go and relax."
Their battles these past few days have been exhausting enough, and such a top-tier auction is not something easily attended; missing it would surely leave them with regrets.
"Yay!"
Xiao Xiao was the first to jump up, and the others also looked excited.
Huo Yuhao was also curious. Based on his understanding of Xu Jiujiu, this princess never spoke without reason. What good things would the Starlight Auction House have that would be suitable for him?
Two figures, one in gold and one in white, transformed into streaks of light and appeared on a hillside far from the White Tiger Duke's mansion.
Xue Di glanced around and asked Long Qiu'er, "Can you still sense that guy's whereabouts?"
Long Qiu'er slowly opened her previously closed eyes, and the red vertical eye on her forehead also slowly closed. She shook her head with some regret, "————This is the extent of my tracking. This person's mental strength is far above mine, and he can also use spatial power, which can shield me from my golden perception."
"However—it wasn't entirely fruitless. Look over there."
Xue Di looked in the direction Long Qiu'er was pointing and saw a huge footprint on the ground.
"These are dragon footprints? No—they should be lizard footprints, right?" Xue Di shook her head. "A lizard-like soul beast with such high spiritual power? I don't recall any like it."
"Perhaps—" Long Qiu'er recalled what Huo Yuhao had said to her when they talked in the Douluo World, "What if it's not a soul beast from Douluo Continent?"
