Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 65 Soul Hunting Operation

Upon hearing her request, the staff member looked troubled.

There are precedents for buying items in advance at auction houses, but this is the number one auction house in Tiandou City, with the shadow of the Tianhun Empire behind it.

To secure an item in advance, you must...

Her thoughts came to an abrupt end there, because Xiao Xiao handed her a token engraved with the words "Heavenly Soul," something only the high-ranking officials of the empire possessed—proof of identity and a symbol of status.

"Okay, okay."

"Honorable guest, please follow me."

Not long after Xiao Xiao was taken inside, the receptionist returned.

He bumped into Beibei head-on, and in the blink of an eye, he sensed a familiar aura emanating from her, exactly like Xiao Xiao's.

"Miss, may I ask if you just came into contact with a young girl?"

"She was about six or seven years old, with pigtails and wearing a light green dress."

When faced with inquiries from strangers, the receptionist displayed a standard professional smile.

"I'm sorry, we can't disclose customer information..."

Then?

She saw Beibei pull out a bunch of tokens from the Heavenly Soul Empire, which had been forced into her possession during heated debates with the empire's higher-ups.

Even when I tried to return it, it was refused, with the excuse that it was just a small gift, a way to make friends.

Unexpectedly, it has now come in handy.

The receptionist's eyes widened like saucers; she had initially thought the little girl from before must have had some powerful connections.

Unexpectedly, the refined young man in front of her was even more courageous than she was.

Did they rob every single one of the empire's kings, generals, dukes, and earls?!

But the receptionists who can work at the front desk are undoubtedly skilled, suppressing their complex emotions and resolving the VIPs' problems as quickly as possible.

"Miss Xiao Xiao is absorbing a spirit ring inside. I'll take you to the waiting room..."

However, before she could finish speaking, a gust of wind suddenly arose.

In the blink of an eye, the boy in front of me had disappeared.

Beibei was in a hurry. He suddenly remembered something: Xiao Xiao's second martial soul, the Nine Phoenixes' Auspicious Flute, originally had a first soul ring that was only a hundred-year-old yellow soul ring.

He thought it was some kind of imperial special supply, a special cheat-like soul ring.

Looking back now, it was probably just the little girl being willful and reckless, secretly melting it herself.

They sped along, moving at breakneck speed.

The one-piece iron gate, constructed of high-quality steel, was deformed by the twisting of the golden dragon claw and opened like a door to an ordinary room.

At this very moment, it was precisely the time for Xiao Xiao to draw upon the five-colored peacock soul ring.

In that instant, she not only heard the sound of the door being violently opened, but her connection with her spirit ring was also severed by a domineering spirit power.

As soon as Xiao Xiao opened her eyes, a feeling of dissatisfaction welled up on her brow, but it vanished instantly under the cover of a large shadow.

He forced a smile: "Heh...hehe..."

"Big Brother Beibei, hello there."

Looking down at Xiao Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged, he asked with a dark face, "Xiao Xiao, is this the kind of place you come to use the restroom?"

"It was too boring, so I came out for a walk."

While struggling to explain, Xiao Xiao also tried to snatch the yellow spirit ring that Bei Bei was holding up.

Unfortunately, just as she jumped up, Bei Bei pressed her head down with one of her large hands, and "Great Achievement" collapsed halfway through.

Watching Xiao Xiao struggle wildly, flailing her limbs like a whirlwind, he felt utterly helpless.

At this age, the obsession with collecting beautiful things is irrational.

Forget it, if he can't handle it, let's call in more people.

Helpless, he said, "How about I talk to your parents? If they agree, I'll give it back to you, what do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao stopped struggling, and a look of "Oh no, I'm doomed" appeared on her pretty face.

Then, she instantly reverted to her previous pitiful appearance.

"Big brother, big brother~"

"Please, please don't tell my mother, okay?"

Hearing this, Beibei's face twitched uncontrollably. It was such a waste that she didn't become a face-changing master on the stage.

Just then, my ears twitched slightly, as if I could hear a sound.

"It's too late."

"The person has arrived."

His voice had barely faded when a large group of people entered the wide-open clean room.

The woman in the most elegant attire at the front was naturally Xiao Xiao's mother.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. As soon as she saw the situation, she immediately understood what kind of crooked idea her daughter was up to.

His expression suddenly turned serious, and in a flash, he grabbed Xiao Xiao by the back of the neck.

Then it vanished in an instant, until it reached the next room, where it began to wail and sob.

"Wow!"

"Mommy's a big bad girl!"

"I want my dad to get me a new mom!"

And then... his father went there.

The wailing and howling grew louder.

After today's little incident, Beibei wasn't in the mood to stay outside any longer, so she went back to the hotel.

Over the next few days, the first stage of the Soul Fighting Tournament, the elimination rounds, was completed.

As expected, every academy that drew a match against Shrek Academy these days has voted.

The referee was also changed; judging from the gold thread embroidery on his robe, he should be a high-ranking official from the Heavenly Soul Empire.

When the competition reached the second stage, the round-robin stage, even if a team lost, they wouldn't be eliminated in the first round, so finally some teams were willing to take the stage.

As the team leader, Du Weilun specially arranged for the preliminary team members, including Beibei, to take the stage.

We can't expect the preliminary team members to just sit in the audience as cheerleaders the whole time.

Beibei occasionally appears, but most of his opponents are from the Fifth Ring, which hardly pique his interest. He usually gets knocked down after only a couple of moves.

The only opponents who interested him were the two Soul Emperors from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy who were also Soul Masters.

However, the team selection mechanism seemed to be manipulated behind the scenes.

It wasn't until the latter half of the second stage of the competition that they drew the card to fight against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

Then?

Then, Bebe was called away by Moon.

Even when he was on the high platform set up by the organizers, he still felt regretful for not being able to play a single game.

On the high platform at this moment, the guards were strict, with some new faces and a more somber atmosphere.

Besides Tianhun and the ruler of the Douling Empire whom Beibei had met before, she also saw high-ranking officials from the Xingluo Empire.

Moreover, another heavyweight character makes an appearance: the protagonist, the chosen one of destiny, Huo Yuhao's wild father from beyond the Great Wall—Dai Hao!

The presence of this important figure signifies the official commencement of the plan, spearheaded by Mu En and endorsed by the leaders of the three nations, to eliminate and hunt down the evil soul masters lurking within the original continent's three kingdoms.

The Mingdou defense line, under the command of Dai Hao, will activate a state of first-level combat readiness, temporarily cutting off all cross-border and cross-continental trade activities of merchant groups.

All academies belonging to the Sun Moon Empire that come to Tiandou City to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament will receive a written document jointly signed by the leaders of the three original continental kingdoms.

It's just a temporary lockdown, there's absolutely no malicious intent, and we apologize in advance.
