Chapter 1425: The Netherworld King’s Jade (2/2)
Huang Xiaolong was astonished after determining Bei Xiaomei’s identity, but at the same time he was more curious. With Bei Xiaomei’s identity, she didn’t need to come in person to bid for the God King’s Buddha Pellet and Buddha Pastes...
Had she come to the auction house to play?
“Uncle, where do you stay? Since I helped you right, don’t you plan to invite me to your place?” Bei Xiaomei pouted and asked after coming out from the auction house.
Huang Xiaolong grinned. “Alright then, I formally invite Miss Bei Xiaomei to visit my residence.”
Bei Xiaomei giggled and said sweetly, “That’s how you do things.”
However, when Huang Xiaolong’s group returned to their residence, a space crack appeared and two old men stepped out of it.
Both old men were clad in golden brocade robes, and had undetectable auras, but their presence was enough to make Huang Xiaolong’s heart tight. His attention was fully on both of them.
There was a hint of surprise in the two old men’s eyes as they looked at Xiang Xun, but they continued to step towards Bei Xiaomei. One of the old men respectfully approached her and said, “Second Miss, Eldest Miss has already known that you went out, so she has instructed us to bring you back.”
Bei Xiaomei pouted her mouth sullenly and complained, “I’ve got it... So annoying... Didn’t I just come here to play for a few days?”
Looks like Bei Xiaomei had sneaked out to play.
“Uncle, I have to go back now.” Bei Xiaomei said to Huang Xiaolong reluctantly, “I don’t know when I can go out next time…” She took the silver token out again and placed it in Huang Xiaolong’s hand. “When you reach the Silver Fox Commerce headquarters, show this silver token to them and tell them I’m the one who gave it to you.”
Huang Xiaolong hesitated briefly before accepting the silver token. He nodded and promised, “I will.”
The Silver Fox Commerce headquarters was located at Heaven's Avenue—a place he would go to purchase materials required for repairing the Cauldron Dragon Flying Ship.
Bei Xiaomei smiled happily seeing that Huang Xiaolong had accepted the silver token, and said, “Then you must come, oh.” With that, she turned and followed the two old men.
Both old men were surprised that Bei Xiaomei had given the silver token to Huang Xiaolong, but neither of them uttered a word. They simply glanced at Huang Xiaolong for a second, as if memorizing his face.
After that Bei Xiaomei and the two old men vanished from sight right in front of Huang Xiaolong’s group.,.
“Let’s go in.” Huang Xiaolong said after Bei Xiaomei had left. He walked into the residence with the little cow, and the rest followed behind them. There was an urgency for him to learn about the black jade token’s origins.
Upon entering the residence, Huang Xiaolong immediately activated the residence’s formations, and then entered his room with the little cow.
“Xiaolong, quick, take out that Netherworld King’s Jade for me to see.” The little cow urged anxiously.
‘The Netherworld King’s Jade? So, that black jade token was called the Netherworld King’s Jade.’ Huang Xiaolong thought as he took it out.
The little cow took the jade token and looked at it inch by inch, the more she looked at it, the more excited she became, mumbling something under her breath. But Huang Xiaolong couldn’t distinguish what she was mumbling about. Even so, he did not interrupt her.
It went on for roughly half an hour before the little cow came out from her ‘agitated’ condition. She returned the jade token to Huang Xiaolong and tried to speak as calmly as she could, “Can you guess why this jade token is called the Netherworld King’s Jade? That is because the Lord of Hell has another title, the Netherworld King!”
The Lord of Hell, the Netherworld King!
Could it be?!
Huang Xiaolong’s shock was apparent on his face, and so was his disbelief as he looked at the jade token in his hand. This..!
“You, you’re saying this jade token belonged to the Lord of Hell?!” Even though he had heard the words from the little cow’s mouth, Huang Xiaolong still felt it was surreal. This was indeed hard to believe, not to mention, anyone else would react the same way.
