Although Emperor Xueye felt sorry for him, he could only comfort himself: as long as he could win over this prodigy, this price was worth it... right?

Just when Emperor Xueye thought that today's "calamity" was finally over.

To everyone's surprise, Xuan Hao showed no intention of leaving.

He fiddled with the ring he had just received, glanced at Ning Rongrong and Na'er who were looking on expectantly beside him, and suddenly sighed:

"Ugh……"

"Your Majesty, I have accepted these three gifts. But..."

Xuan Hao pointed at the two little girls, "Look, I've taken so many good things by myself, while Rongrong and Na'er are still empty-handed. This... isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Snow Night Emperor: "..."

Ning Fengzhi: "..."

Xue Qinghe: "..."

The entire room fell silent.

Looking at Xuan Hao's harmless face, everyone had only two words in their minds:

bandit!!

This kid is a complete scoundrel who steals every last feather from a passing goose!

They've already taken three priceless treasures, and they still want to steal something else?

But looking at Xuan Hao's self-righteous appearance, Emperor Xueye knew that if he refused now, all his previous "magnanimity" would be wasted.

It's like inviting someone to dinner, serving all the dishes, but then falling out with the guest over a plate of peanuts. What a loss that would be!

"That...that's natural."

Emperor Xueye suppressed the urge to vomit blood, forcing a smile that was more like a grimace:

"Since you're here, it must be fate. How could I possibly show favoritism?"

"How about this, each of these two little girls pick one out."

"Your Majesty is so magnanimous!"

Xuan Hao immediately gave a thumbs up, "As expected of His Majesty the Emperor! His vision is truly extraordinary!"

After saying that, he turned to Rongrong and said, "Rongrong, go and pick out something you like too."

Unexpectedly, Ning Rongrong shook her head and tugged at Xuan Hao's sleeve, pouting sweetly:

"No! I want Brother Xuanhao to pick it for me! I trust Brother Xuanhao's judgment!"

Na'er also came over and hugged Xuan Hao's other arm: "I want my brother to choose too! The one my brother chooses is the best!"

Xuan Hao was taken aback: "But I don't understand these things..."

"It's okay!" Ning Rongrong said firmly. "Whatever you choose is the best!"

Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe watched from the side, their eyes twitching.

This kid... what kind of damn good luck with women is this!

"alright."

Xuan Hao didn't stand on ceremony. Anyway, this place was full of treasures, so taking any one of them wouldn't be a loss.

Moreover, he clearly remembered Ning Rongrong's expression and reaction when she was commenting on these treasures.

He knew perfectly well which ones were top-notch and which ones were just average.

Soon, Xuan Hao spotted a necklace among a pile of jewelry that was inlaid with red, green and blue gemstones.

"Rongrong, how about this one?"

"I like it!" Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up.

"Then this one will do."

The Snow Night Emperor walked over, his heart aching to the point of numbness.

"This is the Three Elements Heart Protection Chain. The red, green, and blue gems correspond to the three elements of fire, wind, and ice, respectively. If you wear this and are attacked by these three attributes, even a Title Douluo will have their power reduced by at least 30%."

"This is also a relic of the late empress... It's part of the same set as that Radiant Dragon Scale Armor."

“That’s right, Rongrong, you’re a support-type Soul Master, so you’re quite fragile. This is perfect for self-defense.” Xuan Hao nodded and personally put it on Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong touched the necklace, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with a smile.

Next, Xuanhao picked out a gift for Na'er.

His gaze swept across the display case, finally settling on a uniquely shaped bracelet.

It was a bracelet made of seven gemstones of different colors: red, blue, yellow, green, gold, black, and silver.

The seven-colored light flowed around, which was quite a sight.

"I want this one!" Xuan Hao pointed to the bracelet and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

When Emperor Xueye saw this thing, he could no longer maintain his composure.

This time, the pain was so intense it was almost unbearable.

Chapter 56 That's a different price

……

"This is the Seven Luminaries Elemental Ring. It is a top-grade auxiliary soul tool passed down from ancient times," Emperor Xueye said helplessly.

"Legend has it that it was forged by an ancient soul master who controlled multiple elements, who devoted his entire life to its creation."

"Red, blue, yellow, green, gold, and black—these six gems represent the six elements: fire, water, earth, wind, light, and darkness. If the wearer possesses a martial soul of the corresponding attribute, the power of that attribute can be amplified by 50%."

"Fifty percent?!"

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were moved once again.

For a Soul Master, what does a 50% increase mean? That's practically a god-tier artifact for challenging opponents of higher levels!

"It's just a pity..."

Emperor Xueye shook his head. "A Soul Master usually only has one Martial Soul attribute, and a very few exceptionally talented individuals may have two attributes. But to say that someone possesses all six attributes at the same time... simply does not exist in this world."

"Therefore, although this soul tool is powerful, no one has ever been able to truly unleash its full potential."

"The previous emperors had considered dismantling it into seven separate treasures, but the craftsmanship of this thing was too exquisite. It was an ancient masterpiece that was perfectly integrated. If it were forcibly dismantled, it would be destroyed instantly. So... it has been gathering dust here ever since."

"And what about this silver one?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously, pointing to the silver gem. "What are its properties?"

Emperor Xueye shook his head: "I don't know either. Perhaps... it's just to make it look good."

However, Xuan Hao was overjoyed.

Silver? That's clearly a spatial element!

The Silver Dragon King controls all elements in the world. With this item in her hands, all attributes will be increased by 50%!

Although he can use it too, this thing is clearly more suitable for Na'er.

"Okay, this is it!"

Xuanhao picked up the bracelet and carefully put it on Na'er's wrist.

Looking at the shimmering bracelet on her wrist, Na'er's eyes lit up with joy, and a glint of silver seemed to flash deep within her purple eyes.

"Thank you, brother!"

"All right!"

Xuan Hao clapped his hands, looked at the large and small bags of "spoils" in his hands, and gave Emperor Xue Ye an extremely bright smile:

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"

Watching the three bandits return laden with their spoils, Emperor Xueye clutched his chest, feeling as if he had lost a year of his lifespan.

This is hardly about attracting talent.

This is clearly letting a wolf into the house!

……

"My lords, I am feeling unwell today and am quite tired, so I will not see you off any further."

After leaving the underground palace, before even reaching the Imperial Garden, Emperor Xueye stopped in his tracks.

Watching the three little ones return laden with their spoils, even comparing whose treasure was the most dazzling, Emperor Xueye felt his head throbbing and his chest tighten.

"Qinghe, please see Sect Leader Ning and young friend Xuanhao off properly for me."

Emperor Xueye waved his hand, looking exhausted as he leaned on the eunuch's arm. "I'm tired. I'll go back to the palace to rest now."

"Yes, Father, please take care of your health."

Xue Qinghe bowed respectfully, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

He could tell that the old man had really suffered a huge loss this time.

Despite the mountains of gold and silver in that treasure trove, there are only a handful of items that can truly be called top-tier treasures.

That "Qiankun Ring" with its own independent life space, that "Flowing Light Dragon Scale Armor" that can expand and contract with the martial spirit, that "Three Elements Heart Protection Chain" with three attributes of defense, and that legendary "Seven Luminaries Element Ring"...

Apart from that somewhat strange mutated blood spirit mushroom, these four items would definitely be considered the most precious treasures of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, even if they were placed there!

Especially that ring that can hold a living person; if used properly, it would be an absolute weapon of mass destruction in war!

Now, all of these things have been taken away by Xuan Hao, that money-devouring beast.

……

The carriage soon returned to Qibaozhai.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin took Ning Rongrong, who hadn't had enough fun yet, off the car first. Although Rongrong wanted to stay with Xuan Hao, she could only be dragged away, looking back every few steps, under her father's stern gaze.

At this moment, only Xue Qinghe, Xuan Hao, and Na'er remained beside the carriage.

"call……"

Xue Qinghe's gentle smile finally faded slightly. She turned around and looked at Xuan Hao with a deep, unsettling gaze:
