Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 36 Five Years Later, Old Friends Meet Again

Unlike the previous ancient wood which went unbidden, the preciousness of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring caused a stir at the scene, with bidding noises ringing out. However, those participating in the bidding were mostly people from the rooms on the second floor and above, and most of them were alchemists, since alchemists are the least short of money.

"Seven hundred and ninety thousand."

"Eight hundred thousand."

The price soared to 800,000, and by then there were still only a few bidders left.

"Your Highness, although the Ice Spirit Spring in our Spirit Realm has been flooded due to the Fallen God Ice Plains, if Miss Qing'er doesn't bid, the price of 800,000 is still a bargain."

"Yes, Your Highness, if this were in Zhongzhou, it would definitely fetch a price of several million."

In room number one on the fourth floor, Shengfeng and Shengyu were very dissatisfied with the price of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and frowned as they spoke to Shenglinglong.

Holy Spirit Long smiled with lowered eyes, her features hidden in the shadows, and said slowly, "So what? Money is just a string of numbers to me. If Sister Qing'er doesn't bid, I can give her another one."

A hush fell over the room. The auctioneer spoke up, asking, "It only cost 800,000 gold coins. Does anyone else want to bid?"

Hun Qinghao gave the Amethyst Winged Lion King beside him a look, "Big Purple, go and make an offer, start with one million."

The fact that he spoke of one million so casually made everyone in the room except for the Amethyst Winged Lion King swallow hard, and Chairman Frank, who was about to make a bid, silently put down his bidding paddle.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King had no concept of human money, but he knew that his young master was very rich, so he raised his bidding paddle without any psychological pressure and shouted, "My young lady bids one million gold coins."

hiss!

One million gold coins!

Where did this spendthrift young lady come from?!

When the price of one million was announced, everyone present gasped in shock.

They thought the price would be raised to over 800,000, which was the absolute maximum, but they didn't expect someone to offer 1 million.

In a small place like Blackrock City, this isn't just a high price, it's an astronomical price!

Looking up, I saw that the person making the bid was the burly man next to the young lady in room number one on the third floor. The young lady he was referring to must be the girl next to him.

Oh, so it's that capricious young lady who spent a fortune on a piece of rotten wood. Then it's alright!

If this person can pay a high price for a piece of rotten wood, it's not surprising that he would spend a million to buy the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

The astronomical price of one million deterred everyone, and after no one else made a bid, the auctioneer announced the ownership of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

After the auction ended, several men in uniforms entered the room. The man in the lead handed the Ice Spirit Cold Spring to Hun Qinghao and bowed respectfully, saying, "Miss, this is the Ice Spirit Cold Spring you won. Together with the mysterious ancient wood from before, it's worth a total of 1.4 million gold coins."

"Swipe the card." Hun Qinghao took out the purple-gold card and handed it to the man, then put away the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

After deducting the gold coins, the man returned the card to Hun Qinghao. Remembering the instructions from above, he said, "Miss, the distinguished guest in room number one on the fourth floor wishes to see you. That distinguished guest is the one who took out the Ice Spirit Cold Spring."

"Oh?" Hun Qinghao raised an eyebrow slightly. "The person who auctioned the Ice Spirit Cold Spring wants to see me?"

Did he say why he wanted to see me?

"No, that distinguished guest only said he was an old friend of the young lady."

"An old friend?" Hun Qinghao wondered.

What old friends could she possibly have? In the Soul Realm, apart from her father, everyone else treated her with more respect than closeness. They would only call her "Young Master" and would never consider themselves her old friends.

Moreover, "old friend" usually refers to someone you haven't seen for a long time. Does she have anyone she hasn't seen for a long time?

"Then I'll go see him. Lead the way," Hun Qinghao said calmly.

Unable to recall who this "old friend" was, Hun Qinghao decided to go and meet him in person.

"You all should leave now. Da Zi and I are going to see this 'old friend'!" After saying this to Chairman Frank and Master Otto, Hun Qinghao led the Amethyst Winged Lion King out of the room.

In room number one on the fourth floor, the auction house staff led Hun Qinghao to the door and then left, seemingly afraid of the people inside, not even daring to knock.

Hun Qinghao pursed her lips, pushed open the door, and went inside.

Seeing the figure standing at the window, Hun Qinghao's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes flickered involuntarily.

Although it was just a glimpse of his back, she felt a strange sense of familiarity about him.

While Hun Qinghao was still in a daze, Sheng Feng and Sheng Yu silently closed the door, and then pulled the big amethyst winged lion king into a corner to keep him from making a sound.

At this moment, Sheng Linglong slowly turned around, a gentle smile appearing on her face. "Sister Qing'er, it's been a long time!"

Her pupils suddenly trembled. This familiar face and voice brought back a flood of memories from five years ago, causing her voice to tremble.

"You, you are... Brother Linglong!"

With a gentle smile, Sheng Linglong slowly walked towards the girl she had been longing for day and night. "It's me, Qing'er, I'm back!"

Seeing the completely different Holy Spirit Long, Sheng Feng and Sheng Yu couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, they still had to rely on Miss Qing'er. Only she could make their cold and aloof prince gentle.

"Why did you leave without saying goodbye five years ago?" Hun Qinghao suppressed his emotions and asked coldly.

He was her first friend in this world. Five years ago, they promised to be together forever, but when she woke up, he was gone.

Therefore, he was also the first person to break his promise to her.

Now, five years later, when they meet again, she feels both joy and resentment towards him.

"Sister Qing'er, I..."

As Sheng Linglong spoke, she wanted to touch Hun Qinghao's head, just like she had done five years ago, but Hun Qinghao avoided her aloofly.

As she dodged, Sheng Linglong's hand froze in mid-air, a dark glint flashing in her red eyes.

It seems I'm still a bit rusty!

He lowered his hand, no longer insisting on touching her head. After sighing, he explained, half-jokingly, "Sister Qing'er, I know you resent me, but I was facing pursuit by my enemies at the time, and I couldn't implicate you."

"No matter what happens to me, I can't let you get hurt, Qing'er!" Regardless of whether what Sheng Linglong said before was true, his last sentence was definitely from the bottom of his heart.

Soul Lord Long's explanation was readily accepted by Soul Lord.

She didn't want to assume any ill will towards her first friend.

Seeing the dejected look on his face because of her aloofness, Hun Qinghao's heart softened, and she said softly, "You can't just leave without saying a word!"

"Brother Linglong, do you know that after you left, those who were chasing you didn't intend to let me go either? If Father hadn't arrived in time, you wouldn't be seeing me now!"

Five years ago, she accidentally fell out of the Soul Realm while practicing spatial techniques and exerted too much force. Although she met Brother Linglong, that was the biggest tribulation in her otherwise smooth-sailing life. She will never forget the ugly faces of those people.
