Liu Qing Qing ordered her men to bring in gifts in high spirits. Two big men carried a rack, the things on the shelf were covered by a red silk cloth, which immediately caught everyone's attention.

”That girl Qingqing, she is always so diligent.” German king's face was full of affection, she seemed to really love Liu Qing Qing a lot.

Liu Qing Qing said coquettishly: ”That won't do, I have discussed this with big brother Crown Prince. This gift, I must definitely let you like it.”

”Haha, so there's the thought of Chengfeng inside. Good, I want to see what you two have chosen for me.” German king's interest was piqued, and he looked at the gift covered in red silk.

Na Lan Rong Xuan looked at the unfathomably deep smile on Yue Luo Xue's face, and said softly: ”Do you know what is below?”

”Won't you know after you take a look?”

Yue Luo Xue couldn't help but roll her eyes. Did this guy have to be so sharp to be able to see through it? Of course she knew what was underneath the red silk cloth. It was today's medicine, how could it be missing!

On the other side, Liu Qing Qing had already pulled German king to the center of the hall, and said in a spoiled manner: ”Royal Uncle, open it yourself, I can guarantee that you'll definitely like it!”

German king laughed as he shook his head, ”You have many wily eyes.”

It was as if he was a father who doted on his daughter, with a hint of helplessness and doting. He reached out to grab the red silk and suddenly untied it.

”Oh my god, the Princess Qingqing is being considerate!”

”This thing can be found?” This gift is really expensive! ”

Beneath the red cloth was a basin sized block of ice, appearing even more translucent in the candlelight. Of course, this was not the most important part. The most important part was that a purple flower the size of a bowl was sealed within the ice.

The flower was called the Sea Soul Flower, and it bloomed along with the flow in the sea. It blossomed only in its current state after hundreds of years, making it even harder to obtain one.

Of course, what was most captivating was that this Sea Soul Flower had a similar effect to the cinnabar fruit, and could directly increase a person's cultivation!

If everyone knew that German king had been at the peak of the sixth stage for many years, with this Sea Soul Flower, wouldn't they be able to soar into the sky? From today onwards, the Sunscorch Kingdom will be even more powerful!

The corner of Yue Luo Xue's mouth raised into a smile, and she lowered her voice to ask Na Lan Rong Xuan: ”Are you interested in that Sea Soul Flower?”

Na Lan Rong Xuan raised his eyebrows. Although he did not say anything, his eyes clearly held a question.

”I'm afraid the hall is going to be in chaos soon. Besides being able to be preserved with ice, there is actually another way to save Sea Soul Flower.” Yue Luo Xue's faint voice came out, but her pair of eyes continued to stare at the German king in the arena.

”Congratulations German king, this is my, Yan Yang's, fortune!”

”That's right. The princess's filial piety is commendable. We admire her!”

All of a sudden, all the officials stepped forward to congratulate him, and those martial artists also looked at the Sea Soul Flower, some of them had a greedy look in their eyes, but no one dared to make a move.

”Haha, This King is happy today. Everyone, you won't leave unless you're drunk!” German king raised his wine cup high up. But before he could drink it, his wrist flicked and the wine cup fell to the ground, producing a crisp cracking sound.

Then, that tall figure began to spasm. At the same time, his chest was blocked, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Everyone in the crowd instantly quieted down.

”Royal Uncle! Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician Xuan! ” Liu Qing Qing was the closest to the German king.

The great hall instantly became a mess. A faint smile appeared on Yue Luo Xue's face, and she said softly: ”If you don't act, the Sea Soul Flower will be taken away.”

As if confirming Yue Luo Xue's words, the lights in the great hall suddenly went out in an instant. The sudden entrance of darkness caused one to temporarily lose their sight, and one could faintly hear the sound of breaking wind.

”Assassin, there's an assassin!” In the chaos, no one knew who shouted, but the sounds of swords and blades clashing soon followed.

”Crash!” The sound of ice shattering resounded, and only then did people suddenly realize that the Sea Soul Flower, someone was taking advantage of the chaos to try and steal the Sea Soul Flower!

Following the light, everything in the hall became clear. Many guests and guards were fighting, and some of them were even injured, the ice sealing Sea Soul Flower was broken, but the Sea Soul Flower inside was nowhere to be seen!

”Brother Chengfeng, come and see uncle!”

Liu Qing Qing seemed to not have realized that the Sea Soul Flower was missing, as she anxiously looked at German king, who was being supported by her. German king's eyes bulged, his body spasming intensely, his veins exposed, making him look extremely terrifying.

Liu Cheng Feng's expression was displeased, and a pair of dark green eyes swept over Na Lan Rong Xuan. Na Lan Rong Xuan fearlessly locked eyes with him, and there was even a trace of blankness in his eyes.

Withdrawing his gaze, the coldness in Liu Cheng Feng's eyes grew even more intense. Tonight's situation was completely unexpected, and he said solemnly: ”Men, send German king back to his room, no one else can leave!”

The main hall was suddenly shrouded in a layer of panic and unease, almost causing one to be unable to sit still.

Yue Luo Xue and Na Lan Rong Xuan were still sitting in their original seats, seemingly not moving at all. Yue Luo Xue even had a piece of dessert in her mouth.

”Why didn't you take the opportunity to kill him?” Na Lan Rong Xuan asked in a voice that only two people could hear after drinking from his teacup.

Yue Luo Xue swallowed the dim sum in her mouth and said: ”Wouldn't that be letting him off too easily? Moreover, I think that keeping the German king here would still be useful for you.”

”To me?” Na Lan Rong Xuan had a flash of astonishment; Yue Luo Xue was actually thinking for his sake.

”Since the German king is poisoned, we naturally have to investigate the reason. What if this reason is related to Liu Cheng Feng?” Yue Luo Xue said with a cunning look in her eyes.
