Chapter 995: Ice Immortal Pearl (2/2)

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and did not argue. He performed a cupped-fist salute and gave thanks to Shui Lingling. This was a gift that even he found hard to reject.

“Hehe! Xiao Bai comes to congratulate Elder Brother Xiao Chen on being conferred the Azure Dragon King.”

While Xia Houjue waited to see Xiao Chen become a joke, a young lady ran over and proffered a wooden box as well.

This young lady looked very beautiful, so pretty she could cause the downfall of a kingdom, yet she possessed a lively and youthful aura, which made that extremely pretty face looked quite extraordinary.

However, Xia Houjue had never heard the name Xiao Bai before.

Right after Xia Houjue spoke, someone immediately came forward to offer congratulations, slapping his face. Furthermore, it was a name that he never heard before, infuriating him.

Earlier, Shui Lingling already embarra.s.sed Xia Houjue. Now, he could no longer hold back. He said, “Where did this wild girl come from? Xiao Chen, only such an unremarkable person would come and offer congratulations to you!”

Totally ignoring Xia Houjue, Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Chen with a smile. “Elder Brother Xiao Chen, open it and take a look. This is something that I pestered Adoptive Father for a long time for before he agreed. He said that you will need to use it soon.”

Seeing that Xiao Bai did not even bother with him, Xia Houjue became even angrier. Who was he? He was a Holy Scion of the Tianwu Domain, the White Tiger King, an outstanding talent of the younger generation.

Despite all this, this girl dared to ignore him entirely, treating him as air.

Xia Houjue could not help the anger in his heart from rising. He secretly circulated his energy and tapped the ground with his foot. Formless energy immediately struck the box, causing cracks to appear on it.

Seeing this, Xia Houjue laughed loudly and said, “She is indeed an unremarkable person. The box that contains the treasure cannot even withstand the wind. With such a box, the item inside must be rubbish as well.”

“Bang!”

The wooden box shattered, and a golden light flashed. A golden Roaming Dragon circled in the air.

“Drizzle…! Drizzle…! Drizzle…!” Golden spiritual rain spattered down. The ambient Spiritual Energy in the entire Tianwu Plaza instantly became more than a hundred times thicker.

Someone opened their mouth and swallowed the golden Spiritual Rain.

This person immediately felt refreshed, and his Law Energy improved significantly. His expression changed radically, his eyes nearly popping out. He quavered, “This is a Holy Spirit Vein! This is really a Holy Spirit Vein! Something only weaker than a King Spirit Vein.”

Most Rank 9 sects possessed only one Holy Spirit Vein. It was something used to hold down Luck in the sect.

There were even unwritten rules about Holy Spirit Veins. Only sects with a Holy Spirit Vein were worthy of being a Rank 9 sect.

To put it in a slightly more exaggerated way, with a Holy Spirit Vein, it would not be difficult to establish a Rank 9 sect.

The entire plaza stirred. Several people immediately circulated their energy and opened their mouths to gulp down the golden spiritual rain in the air, in complete disregard of their own statuses.

In a Rank 9 sect, only a few inner sect Elders could use a Holy Spirit Vein, and that for a very limited time.

Once the time was over, these Elders had to stop.

At this moment, a Holy Spirit Vein revealed itself. The cultivators who had never seen a Holy Spirit Vein before naturally could not contain their excitement.

Xia Houjue’s face turned ashen. Then, as his mouth hung open, his face flushed red. He was in complete shock, unable to speak a word.

“Whoos.h.!.+”

Two figures quickly flew out, each holding a seal. They quickly suppressed the Holy Spirit Vein. Then, they said angrily to Xia Houjue, “Xia Houjue, what guts you have, to be so unbridled before the Spirit Fox King’s adoptive daughter!”

“Where did your courage come from? In the eyes of the Spirit Fox King, you are just a minor character!”

The moment these words came out, the commotion in the crowd stopped. When the guests looked at Xia Houjue, they now revealed expressions of sympathy.

Who could have imagined that aside from being very pretty, this girl with the very ordinary name was actually the Spirit Fox King’s adoptive daughter?

Who was the Spirit Fox King? That was one of the five strongest experts of the Kunlun Realm, together with the Thunder Sovereign, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, Heaven Punis.h.i.+ng Corpse G.o.d, and East Mountain Ghost Monarch.

In terms of might and strength, these people were all much stronger than the White Emperor City’s City Master, the White Tiger Holy Master.

Even if the top person of the Tianwu Domain, the Thunder Sovereign, were here, he would not dare to call such a person a minor character. Nevertheless, Xia Houjue had actually done so.

This was truly a great joke before these people from all over the world.

When slapping himself, Xia Houjue really put in too much strength.

Xiao Bai carefully put away the Holy Spirit Vein and said with a smile, “I will not argue with baddies. Today is Elder Brother Xiao Chen’s big day, the day he is conferred King. I will not be angry.”

The already frightened black-clad old man heaved a sigh of relief. If the other party harped on this, this matter would blow up into a major incident.

“Hehe! Elder Brother Xiao Chen, do you like it? If you do, I’ll ask Adoptive Father to give you a few more.” Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Chen in antic.i.p.ation.

When the others heard this, they could not help but want to vomit blood. The Spirit Fox King’s adoptive daughter was indeed extraordinary. She treated Holy Spirit Veins like buns, giving out more when another liked it.

Xiao Chen accepted the Holy Spirit Vein. He felt helpless in his heart, not knowing how to reply.

If he said he liked it, the Spirit Fox King would probably feel like chopping him down. How could these Holy Spirit Veins be treated like buns? For the Spirit Fox King to give him one was already a gargantuan favor.

However, if he said he did not like it, Xiao Bai would be extremely disappointed.

Fortunately, Yuan Xu and Kong Yuan were here. They quickly came to Xiao Chen’s rescue and pulled Xiao Bai off. “s.h.i.+chen, we should go down first. There are still others here to offer their congratulations. Let’s not delay this.”
