Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 225 The Right Leg Bone of the Star Wanderer

Yin Chen knew that the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone was an astonishing 70,000 years old, and it also came with the powerful soul skill "Ice Explosion Technique," which was considered a divine ice-type skill.

If he really had to choose his left arm bone, he would rather put in some effort and ask his girlfriend for a long time which piece she wanted.

Given his current status and the value he has demonstrated, it shouldn't be difficult for him.

"As for the left arm bone, I have a more suitable target."

Yin Chen smiled and shook his head. Then, his gaze passed over the soul bone that had amazed countless people and looked at another, somewhat deserted display stand next to it.

"I'm more interested in the one next to it than this 'Eternal Frost Dragon left arm bone'."

Following Yin Chen's intrigued gaze, Gu Yuena's eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Next to the dazzling display case of "Left Arm Bone of the Eternal Frost Dragon" was another relatively simple, even somewhat deserted, booth.

Inside, a soul bone also floats.

Unlike the domineering and incomparably cold aura of the Eternal Frost Dragon Bone, this Soul Bone exudes a tranquil and profound aura.

It is a right leg bone, with smooth and beautiful lines, and its entire body is a deep black like the purest night sky, as if it can absorb all the light.

Most remarkably, on the surface of the jet-black bones, there were eighty-seven tiny, self-illuminating silver specks, each the size of a grain of rice.

These stars are not scattered randomly, but cleverly form a lifelike pattern of a celestial horse spreading its wings as if about to take flight.

Under the soft soul-guiding light inside the display case, the edges of the soul bone are adorned with faint golden patterns, like those left by shooting stars streaking across the night sky, appearing and disappearing, creating a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

Gently touching the crystal surface of the display case, you can almost feel a wonderful, warm, and smooth texture, like jade.

Yin Chen's gaze fell on the nameplate.

[Right Leg Bone of the Star Wanderer]

[Year: 54,000]

[Soul Beast Produced: Astral Pegasus (An extremely rare Star Attribute Soul Beast)]

[Characteristics: Greatly increases movement speed and jumping ability; Soul Skills are imbued with the power of stars, providing additional advantages against dark and light attributes.]

[Suggested Retail Price: 18 million Gold Soul Coins]

While this soul bone may not be as valuable as the astonishing "Left Arm Bone of the Eternal Frost Dragon," its price remains firmly in the astronomical range due to the rarity of its stellar attribute and its almost artistic appearance.

"Star attribute..."

Gu Yuena's voice, at some point, had lost its previous warmth and become somewhat cold, and a strange light flickered in her beautiful purple eyes.

"This attribute has absolutely nothing to do with you. You're so interested in it, is it for your girlfriend who's far away in Xingluo City?"

Her words carried a subtle hint of bitterness that she herself was unaware of.

"Oh?"

Yin Chen walked slowly to the display stand for the "Right Leg Bone of the Starry Sky Wanderer". He did not look at the priceless soul bone, but instead focused his gaze on Gu Yuena's purple eyes, his face beaming with smiles.

"What, are you jealous?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a feather, gently scratching at Gu Yuena's feigned calm heart.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The surrounding noise seemed to fade away at that moment.

Gu Yuena did not avoid his gaze, but instead took half a step forward, the two of them so close that they could almost feel each other's breath.

She stared intently at Yin Chen, her aloof and haughty expression revealing an unprecedented seriousness. "If I said yes, what would you do then?"

This is a trap, and also a test.

Yin Chen understood, but his smile grew even brighter.

He didn't fall into the trap at all, but instead, in a matter-of-fact, even somewhat shameless tone, brazenly said:

“That’s easy. I’ll buy you a gift too. I’ve always believed in fairness and never favor one over the other. What she has, you will have too.”

"..."

Gu Yuena seemed to be completely silenced by Yin Chen's shameless remarks.

Her prepared barrage of questions and challenges seemed utterly pale and powerless in the face of his frank declaration that he wanted it all.

In her beautiful purple eyes, a hint of disbelief flashed first, then a mixture of amusement and exasperation, and finally, a look of disdain.

After a long silence, she seemed to regain her voice, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice:

"No need, she's your rightful girlfriend, I'm not."

"Actually, you can be too."

Yin Chen seemed oblivious to the rejection and aloofness in her words, and continued to deliver the most direct and straightforward message in his gentle voice.

He knew very well that someone as proud as Gu Yuena would only see any roundabout approach, probing, or indecisiveness as weakness and insincerity, and would ultimately only lead to the complete loss of the opportunity.

Only by doing this, in the most direct and open way, and putting one's desires on the table, can one possibly break through her strong defenses.

If you want to build a harem, you can't be too thin-skinned.

"Ah……"

Gu Yuena was so angry at his repeated attacks that she burst out laughing. She rolled her eyes in annoyance, and for the first time, a girlish coquettishness appeared on her beautiful face.

"You're dreaming. And how come I never realized before that you could be so shameless?"

"What's the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?"

Yin Chen ignored her sarcasm and instead spoke with righteous indignation.

"Besides, if you don't have a thick skin, how can you possibly win over a celestial beauty like Miss Gu Yue?"

"Chase me? You're a hundred thousand years too early."

Gu Yuena spat, the slight displeasure she felt had long since vanished thanks to this guy's shamelessness.

She felt her heart beating a little fast and her cheeks burning, and she could only use a disdainful tone to cover up her panic.

"Alright, alright, you're beyond saving. Hurry up and exchange for your precious soul bone, or someone else will snatch it up first."

Yin Chen smiled nonchalantly.

What's wrong with facing your desires and striving for them? He felt that he was quite good at being himself.

He stopped teasing the now somewhat enraged Silver Dragon King and turned to walk towards the exchange point on the west side.

After he presented the top-tier VIP card with its gold patterns, the young woman in charge of registration processed his redemption in the most respectful and efficient manner.

When the "Right Leg Bone of the Starry Sky Wanderer," worth eighteen million gold soul coins, was placed in a specially made jade box and handed to Yin Chen, he didn't even blink.

Because he used the annual, free quota.
