Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

After a busy day, Gao Sheng finally finished dealing with most of the matters and returned to the living quarters behind the main hall.

Sasha and Ina were sitting together, eagerly waiting for him.

Gao Sheng basically knows about Sasha's situation, but he is still unclear about Ina's.

Sasha is at least an apprentice, but Ina isn't even an apprentice yet.

"Ina".

"Young Master." Ina looked at Gao Sheng, and even though it wasn't intentional, her naturally alluring eyes made Gao Sheng feel dizzy.

"Where were you born? Tell me about your hometown."

"Young master, my hometown is called Yulan Star, a very beautiful planet. My family told me that our ancestors lived a carefree life until one day, a group of extraterrestrial visitors came to our hometown. They called us the Jade Elf Clan. From then on, our clan could never go back to the past," Ina said with tears in her eyes.

"They forced us to learn a universal language. More than 10,000 years have passed, and we have forgotten the language of our ancestors. They divided us into many tribes. All women had to learn etiquette and how to please men from a young age, but they were never allowed to lose their virginity. When they turned 16, they had to participate in a beauty pageant. The most beautiful women would be taken out and sold to buyers in the universe. Their families would also receive rewards. Only those who were not selected could marry. If a tribe could not select a beautiful woman for several years in a row, it would be punished. It was a very terrible punishment."

Is that really how it is? What do you mean the Jade Elf race only has women, and that every single one of them is an absolute beauty? This is simply outrageous.

"More than ten thousand years? Ina? Are you sure it's more than ten thousand years?" Gao Sheng asked.

Ina said, "That's how it's said in our tribe."

The ascending consciousness asked Xiao Ai, "Do you have any information about Magnolia Star?"

Xiao Ai quickly replied, "There are 78 planets in the Black Dragon Mountain star region called Yulan Star. None of them match. It's possible that the planet she mentioned is not registered, or it may not be called that in the universe."

"How old are you? How did you come to Qiulong Star?" Gao Sheng asked.

"I'm not even 17 years old yet. I left my hometown after being selected more than half a year ago. I passed through two planets in between and was only sent to Qiulong Star last month," Ina said softly.

Which planet will it pass by?

"I don't know. I spend most of my time on the spaceship. I only found out this place is called Qiulong Star after I've been here for quite a while," Ina said.

"Do you know why, out of all the people in the slave market, I only bought you?"

Ina glanced timidly at Gao Sheng, then lowered her head again. Was it because the young master liked her type? But she didn't dare to say it.

Gao Sheng saw through her thoughts and said softly, "Because my mother is also a Jade Elf."

Ina and Sasha looked at Gao Sheng in great surprise.

Gao Sheng looked at Ina and said, "Ina, this will be your home from now on. No one will be able to bully you anymore."

"Sasha, you too."

"Yes." The two poor people were both saddened and moved, grateful that they had met a good owner.

Gao Sheng took out a box of Regenerating Wood Spirits and took out a light green crystal. "Take one of these every few days. You don't need to finish these to reach the ninth level of Apprentice."

The bloodline of the Dreambean Clan is quite good. If Sasha continues to eat this Wood Spirit, she can definitely reach the Planetary level. However, the Jade Elf Clan cannot do that; at most, they can only reach the ninth level of Apprentice.

"Young Master, you're so good to Ina, mmm mmm." Ina hugged Gao Sheng with gratitude, pouting her red lips and looking at him with teary eyes.

Gao Sheng thought to himself, "Is this the training you received since childhood?"

The scene was far too tempting. Fortunately, Gao Sheng had enough self-control to refrain from sucking on it. Instead, he raised his hand and stuffed the green crystal into her little mouth.

"Alright, Ina, go back and rest, and let the medicine take effect."

Ina blushed and went to her room with a happy expression.

Sasha also looked at Gao Sheng with a blush on her face.

"Sasha?" Gao Sheng looked at Sasha.

"Sasha has already eaten during the day, young master. Shasha, would you like Sasha to serve you?" Sasha asked, her eyes watery, as she hugged Gao Sheng's arm.

"Okay." Gao Sheng chuckled, picked up Sasha, and tried to throw her onto the bed, but Sasha clung to him like an octopus.

"Young Master, Sasha loves you so much. Everything Sasha owns belongs to you." Sasha whispered seductively into Gao Sheng's ear.

The chubby boy's blood boiled, and he fiercely sucked on Sasha's red lips. He cried out in his heart, "Heavens above! I'm finally an adult! You can't control me anymore, you old fatso!"

A moment later, the chubby boy threw Sasha on the bed and took out a white vest.

"Sasha, come here. Do you know how to wear this outfit I bought for you during the day?" Gao Sheng smiled maliciously.

"How should I wear it?" Sasha blinked her big eyes.

"If you want to wear it, you have to take off all your clothes first, not a single piece of clothing allowed..."

……

The next morning, Anson left in his spaceship with three other bodyguards; he would return to Jade Dragon Star first.

Feeling refreshed and in high spirits, Gao Sheng led the others, surrounded by a retinue, into the city.

Big shopping spree!

Everyone without a virtual universe account will open a new one, along with bank cards. Those at the seventh and ninth level of the Eternal Star will directly open accounts in the universe, galaxy, and star system, while others at the Eternal Star level will open accounts in local banks.

After visiting several more stores, they equipped the four high-level Eternal Stars with their full set of weapons and battle suits, all of which were second-tier. The vast majority of Eternal Stars in the universe could not afford such items.

As for the forty level-one security guards, Gao Sheng also equipped them with ordinary primal force weapons.

There are also daily necessities, cultivation supplies, spaceships, and so on.

As for the two hundred-plus Mengbei slaves in the slave market, even if all of them were bundled together, they wouldn't amount to 100,000 Black Dragon Coins.

These are nothing compared to the truly valuable virtual space equipment, which is called "Dream Palace." It's actually similar to the War God Palace on Earth. Anyone in the castle can enter, and it has many functions such as trials and battles, and even some virtual games. However, these are only suitable for basic cultivation. There are no realms or domains, let alone laws. These things only exist in the virtual universe.

This virtual space equipment is more expensive than the castle itself. Many inhabited planets don't have it, but on this Qilong Star, at least every large castle should have one. You can log in anywhere on the planet, it just depends on whether you have the necessary permissions.

After a busy day, having squandered over 40 million Qianwu coins, Gao Sheng finally returned to the castle with a large group of nearly 300 people.

For a time, Gao Sheng only had a little over 21 billion Qianwu coins left in his account. Fortunately, he had spent most of what he needed to spend, and there wouldn't be any major expenses until he reached the Hengxing star level.

Inside the main hall, Gao Sheng sat in the main seat, while Sasha, Ina, and two Hengxing-level ninth-tier beings stood to one side.

Two seventh-tier Eternal Star level beings led 40 first-tier Eternal Star level beings, each standing in a row on either side of the main hall.

In the middle of the main hall, more than 150 Mengbei Clan apprentice-level girls, more than 40 Mengbei Clan apprentice-level boys, and more than 20 planetary-level beings of varying ranks (first, second, and third), totaling more than 200 people, all looked at Gao Sheng and Sasha with eager eyes.

"From today onwards, this will be your temporary home. Although I bought you, you will be paid to work here as employees," Gao Sheng said.

"You celestial beings, consider this a one-time payment for a hundred years' worth of debts."

"Although I can't give you freedom right now, firstly, I promise I won't sell any of you again; secondly, if you behave well, I will set you free in the future," Gao Sheng promised.

"Yes, thank you, Master," the star-level slaves replied excitedly.

"As for you, you are no longer slaves," Gao Sheng said to the Dream Shell Clan planetary-level beings. "Anyone who doesn't want to stay here and wants to go out and explore on their own is free to do so."

"We are willing to follow our master," all twenty-odd Mengbei men who had reached the planetary level said.

Are you kidding me? You want to get arrested again when you go out? Others would beg for a job working for a member of such a powerful family.

"Alright, for those of you who haven't reached the planetary level yet, I will provide resources to ensure you reach at least the ninth level of apprentice. As for what happens after that, it's up to you. There are training grounds in the castle, and you each have your own training rooms. While doing your own work, you can choose to cultivate or do something else, it's all up to you. You will all receive a salary. Once you have some savings, if you can break through to the planetary level, you can register as citizens and open virtual universe accounts."

"Yes, thank you, Master." The more than two hundred people were extremely excited.

Back in the living room, Sasha and Ina naturally followed.

"Sasha, those Hengxing-level cultivators are mainly responsible for security and providing basic training guidance. The daily management of the castle will be entrusted to you, is that alright?"

"Yes, young master," Sasha said softly.

"Alright, you guys take a break. Ina, you've reached the apprentice level now. Sasha, you teach her how to use the Force Suit. I'm going to the training room."

Sasha seemed to recall wearing the Force suit last night, and blushing, she pulled the bewildered Ina towards her bedroom.
