Chapter 1502: Repairing the Dragon Shark Flying Ship (1/2)

Bei Xiaomei asked first, “Uncle, what did my father say to you when you were inside?”

Huang Xiaolong leaned back slightly. This question was not difficult in itself, but answering that question was definitely difficult. Was he supposed to say that her father didn’t object to her getting along with him? That he didn’t object that he had ‘quite a few companions?’

“You can ask your father about that later.” Huang Xiaolong stammered.

Bei Xiaomei immediately pouted, “Uncle, just tell me.” He is telling her to ask her father? How would she dare to do that?

Huang Xiaolong was really rendered helpless by Bei Xiaomei's persistence, and roughly made an excuse, “We were just talking about the upcoming Treasures Assembly.”

“Treasures Assembly?” The four women repeated almost in unison.

Huang Xiaolong quickly nodded, “Here, look at this high-grade invitation your father gave me.” Afraid that they wouldn't believe his words, a soft light glimmered as he took out the invitation and showed it to them.

The Treasures Assembly’s high-grade invitation was intricately made, emitting a gem-like luster. On the invitation’s surface was an embossed drawing of the Heavenly Palace. The invitation immediately attracted Fang Xuanxuan, Peng Xiao, Li Lu, and Yao Chi’s attention.

“Wah, it really is the Treasures Assembly’s high-grade invitation!” Bei Xiaomei’s eyes glimmered as she stared at the invitation. “Uncle, my father is so good to you, he actually gave you a high-grade Treasures Assembly’s invitation!”

Huang Xiaolong stiffened, “You, don’t have this?”

Bei Xiaomei shook her head and said, “Even though I have an invitation, the Treasures Assembly’s invitations are graded. My invitation is only a middle-grade invitation. High-grade invitations for the Treasures Assembly are limited, and only several hundred of them exist in the entire Divine World.”

“Only several hundred!” It was Huang Xiaolong’s turn to be surprised. Doesn’t that mean even an Emperor Palace’s Emperor might not have a high-grade invitation?! His Master Zhao Lei very likely doesn’t have one either...

Huang Xiaolong looked inquiringly at Fang Xuanxuan.

Fang Xuanxuan nodded her head heavily in affirmation, “What Xiaomei says is true, my father only has one low-grade invitation.”

Huang Xiaolong was surprised as he looked at the high-grade Treasures Assembly’s exclusive card in his hand, ‘Looks like this toy is quite valuable, isn’t it?’

“What’s the benefits of this Treasures Assembly’s high-grade card?” Huang Xiaolong asked Bei Xiaomei and Fang Xuanxuan.

“Lots of benefits, of course!” Bei Xiaomei went on to elaborate to Huang Xiaolong, “The Treasures Assembly has high-grade private rooms. Inside each room are Spiritual Plums and Jade Liquor brewed by the Heavenly Court. The Jade Liquor is so much tastier than the Spiritual Plums, and I’ve only tasted it a couple of times!”

Huang Xiaolong could see Bei Xiaomei drooling from her sparkling eyes that one wouldn’t help thinking that the jade liquor tasted exceptional. Or else, Bei Xiaomei would not reveal this kind of expression.

At the same time, Huang Xiaolong was slightly astonished upon hearing Spiritual Plum. “The Spiritual Plums ranked second among the seven wonder fruits, right?”

Among the seven wonder fruits, Huang Xiaolong had merely consumed the Ancestral Dragon Fruit, Seven-Colored Metal Fiend Fruit, and the Flaming White Phoenix Divine Fruit. Hence, he knew how precious and beneficial these seven wonder fruits were.

“It’s the Spiritual Plum at second place.” Fang Xuanxuan chimed in, and added, “There are several spiritual plum trees within the Heavenly Court’s Heavenly Palace, nurtured for many years by the Heavenly Court’s spiritual elixir with a secret method. The trees can bear many fruits every ten thousand years. These Spiritual Plums are only distributed to the Treasures Assembly, and like what Xiaomei said, only served in the Treasures Assembly’s high-grade private rooms. I think there are ten Spiritual Plums in each private room, is that right?”

Fang Xuanxuan looked at Bei Xiaomei for confirmation as she wasn't sure of the exact number.

Bei Xiaomei nodded and confirmed, “Yes, ten.”

“If it’s like that, then every time there’s a Treasures Assembly, those holding a high-class guest card would be able to take ten Spiritual Plums for free?” Li Lu summarized.

Peng Xiao and Yao Chi also had the same question.

Bei Xiaomei laughed, “Haha, the Heavenly Court’s Heavenly Emperor is definitely not stupid. You need to pay for these ten Spiritual Plums, you eat one, and then pay ten million top grade-nine spirit stones.”

“Ten million top grade-nine spirit stones!” Peng Xiao, Li Lu, and Yao Chi smacked their lips.
