Chapter 221 (1/2)

Vermilion Bird Blood Jade (2)

“What was that? I’m not wrong!” Ye Lang didn’t realise Princess Longji was already warning him a few moments ago.

“You can’t say that, not even casually!” said the bossy Princess Longji. “I don’t like to hear that you were against me, even if it was because you were ignorant, or you were stupid, you can’t say that!”

“I wasn’t against you, I just didn’t know you were Princess Longji…” Ye Lang didn’t seem to understand, but fortunately, there was Coldblood Five to hold him back.

“Little idiot, stop. Princess Longji doesn’t like to fight against you, she doesn’t like it, even if you mentioned it in passing,” Coldblood Five was smart enough this time. It sounded like what she felt herself.

Didn’t she just feel this way a few moments ago? They were almost on opposite sides, and it wasn’t what she wanted at all!

“Oh…” grunted Ye Lang.

“Hey hey, can you all let me speak!” the Emperorrealised his conversations with Ye Lang were often interrupted- either by Ye Lang’s lack of ability to concentrate or Princess Longji.

“I’m sorry, please continue!” said Ye Lang politely.

“Ye Lang, since we’re a family, can you let me have the magic cube instead? I’ll pay you double!” offered the emperor. He wanted the magic cube, and this was the reason why he wanted Ye Lang to stay.

“Oh, so you wanted to talk about this. No!! And we’re not family!!” denied Ye Lang.

“...” The emperor frowned. This was a tough nut to crack.

“What are you both talking about? What magic cube?” asked Princess Longji curiously.

“It’s the Pirate King Jack’s cube. This guy spent 300,000 gold coins on it to bid against the eighth prince at the auction,” he said, exasperated.

“You spent 300,000 on a magic cube? You prodigal son, you haven’t changed! But my father is willing to buy it for double the price, so it must be something good. Looks like you’ll make a profit again!” she laughed.

“Hmmph!” huffed Ye Lang, upset.

“Alright, alright. Father, why do you want the magic cube? It’s not just for Jack’s treasures, is it? That’s not worth your time, nor is it worth abandoning your ego to negotiate with our little brother like that!” she said directly. At this point, only a few people were left in the room. And they were all the emperor’s family members.

Anything could be said now, no precautions needed!

And that was why the emperor gave the answer too, “You all know that House Long has a few precious heirlooms. You know of the Vermilion Vest, the Vermilion Sword and their powers. However, you might not know that there’s another treasure which far surpasses both, and it’s the lost Vermilion Bird Blood Jade!!”

“Vermilion Bird Blood Jade?” frowned Princess Longji. She seemed to have heard of it, but she wasn’t sure. The others too, while some had never even heard of it.

“According to historical records, the blood of the Vermilion Bird is fused within this blood jade, and it is as clear as all the high-end jades we know of. However, it is blood-red! And apparently, since it was formed with Vermilion Bird blood, it has extremely powerful healing properties, it’s a magical item many people have dreamt of!
