LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Intercepting the Crystal
Chapter 27: Intercepting the Crystal
Yu Yuanshen wasn't foolish; how could he refuse such a good opportunity! Completely ignoring the gaze of Yu Longwu, he said to the air, "Thank you, young master!"
Ecstatic! Initially, when Yu Yuanzhen asked Yu Yuanshen to protect the younger generation, Yu Yuanshen refused. But upon hearing it was to protect Kong, he didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.
It wasn't until this moment that Yu Yuanshen realized how correct his decision was!
You see, even Yu Luomian, the direct younger brother of the sect master, a peak level 89 Soul Douluo, doesn't have a soul bone! If that old fellow Yu Luomian knew about this ten-thousand-year soul bone, he would surely be envious!
Speaking of which, Yu Luomian is actually his cousin.
Yu Longwu looked at Yu Yuanshen eagerly. He knew he had no chance at this soul bone, but what about the next one?
Young Master Kong, being so generous, wouldn't even bother with this "ordinary" soul bone; it was normal! After all, he is someone watched by the gods! The Son of God! What he doesn't fancy might not necessarily be a bad thing for them!
"I need to perform well. The next time such a good opportunity arises, it'll be mine, Yu Longwu's!"
Yu Longwu thought to himself.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
In the early morning, Kong and Dugu Yan walked on the streets of Soto City.
Kong held a bun he had just bought from the roadside in his hand.
"Kong, where did you go last night?" Dugu Yan asked with a puzzled expression, holding Kong's left hand.
"Just had a chat with a strong one," Kong said innocently.
"A strong one? In Soto City? Who could be strong here?" Dugu Yan wondered.
Soto City is known for being under the jurisdiction of the Balak Kingdom, part of the Star Luo Empire's granary. The lord here, as well as the master of the Spirit Hall, are merely Soul Saints. What kind of strong could they be?
Though she thought so, Dugu Yan just smiled and ignored it.
Just then, Kong suddenly stopped and looked at a grocery store.
"Kong, what's wrong?" Dugu Yan asked, curious.
Kong glanced at the shopkeeper sitting on the chair, lost in thought.
"Sister Yan, let's go in and have a look."
If Kong guessed right, this should be Flander's shop.
Yesterday, Tang San suffered such humiliation; how could he possibly come out for a stroll with Xiao Wu? Those things should still be in Flander's shop.
Though Dugu Yan felt a bit reluctant, if Kong wanted to go, she would accompany him!
The two of them calmly walked into the grocery store. Flander, upon hearing the commotion, narrowed his eyes and looked at Kong and Dugu Yan.
Instantly, his eyes widened!
These two, just from their attire, didn't seem ordinary at all!
Who knows, maybe he could hook a big fish today!
"Welcome, both of you!" Flander said with a smile, rubbing his hands together, the epitome of a merchant.
Kong: "..."
To make Flander this enthusiastic, he must be seen as easy prey!
"Hello, shopkeeper. You're busy, we'll just browse around ourselves."
Flander: "..."
Had he been busy lying around here all day?
Seeing the other party's reluctance to engage, Flander felt a little disappointed!
He thought he had hooked two big fish, but it turns out they wouldn't bite!
What to do?
Kong just glanced at the grocery store and saw the dull yellow crystal. It looked dim and lifeless, obviously not a good thing.
"Boss, how much for this crystal?" Kong pointed to the dull yellow crystal and asked Flander.
His tone was calm, showing no hint of emotion.
Flander blinked slightly, following Kong's gesture to the crystal full of "impurities," feeling a bit disappointed.
He had thought the customer was interested in something special, but it turned out to be just a worthless crystal!
"If you like it, young master, one gold soul coin," Flander said, waving his hand and reclining back in his chair. He was truly disappointed!
Without hesitation, Kong took out a gold soul coin and placed it on the table, then collected the crystal.
On the day his Martial Soul awakened at the age of six, when Kong became the young master, Yu Yuanshen gave him a storage soul device.
This storage soul device was a bracelet-shaped soul device, with only storage function and nothing else.
The storage space was neither too big nor too small, about ten cubic meters.
Kong quite liked it.
After collecting the crystal, Kong held Dugu Yan's hand and didn't say much, directly heading out of the shop.
Flander: "???"
What's going on?
Don't want to browse more?
Flander didn't know why, but he had a feeling of loss!
He bought this piece of impure yellow crystal for one silver soul coin, and now selling it for one gold soul coin, logically, he made a profit.
But he just felt like he had lost something!
Flander shook his head, put away the gold soul coin, and stopped thinking about it.
"So young, with such a high fluctuation of soul power, I wonder which family's genius this is. If I could just persuade... ahem, recruit them into Shrek Academy."
Flander murmured.
He was talking about Dugu Yan; as for Kong, he couldn't figure it out. Maybe Kong had some treasures on him, which made him unidentifiable.
After Kong and Dugu Yan left Flander's shop, in no time, under the guidance of "destiny," Tang San arrived at Flander's grocery store with Xiao Wu.
Flander lifted his eyelids and glanced at Tang San and Xiao Wu. When he saw Tang San's belt, he couldn't help but shiver.
This unremarkable young man should be the disciple of his good friend Yu Xiaogang.
It seems that Yu Xiaogang has come to his senses!
Tang San wandered around the grocery store for a while and didn't find anything. He felt inexplicably disappointed, as if he had missed out on something good.
"Xiao Wu, let's go. There's nothing here that I need."
"These are just some old soul devices. It's normal that there's nothing good!" Xiao Wu nodded in response.
Flander: "I'm still here!"
Indeed, most of the goods in his grocery store were not anything valuable.
But, there were still one or two good things!
"Never mind, never mind. This is Yu Xiaogang's disciple..."
Kong didn't immediately return to the hotel to smash open the crystal and turn it into the "hidden weapon" Dragon Whisker Needle.
Even if he smashed it open, he wouldn't use the Dragon Whisker Needle. It was better to let this crystal gather dust in the storage soul device, though there was no dust in the storage soul device.
Dugu Yan glanced at Kong and didn't ask why he wanted to buy such a seemingly "worthless" crystal.
As long as he's happy...
"Sister Yan, let's stroll around the city today. Tomorrow, I'll take you to..."
