No one in the field dared to complain about the actions of the Shinra Emperor. After all, the Shinra Emperor was very powerful and had an amazing backing. If they provoked him, there would be no way for them to survive.
Soon, all the hundreds of martial artists in the field were searched, but the lost Great Wilderness-level combat bracelet was not found.
The purple-robed Shinra prince glanced at everyone, but he was not angry. He just smiled faintly: "However, you all cooperated very well, which shows that you respect me very much. I believe you will not steal the war soldier bracelet."
It seems that this kid seems to be quite satisfied with everyone's reaction.
Long Yu hid aside, feeling somewhat confused. Could it be that the son of the Shinra Emperor was doing this just to test his own prestige
This is not very scientific...
"Miss Ruoshui, I'm so sorry. I lost the Great Wilderness-level Battle Soldier Bracelet that I wanted to give you, and I don't have anything else on me for the time being... Why don't you follow me back to the Shinra Empire, and you can choose from endless treasures, how about that?"
The Shinra Emperor turned his gaze to King Ruoshui who was standing beside him and said with a fiery expression.
King Ruoshui had obviously expected him to make such a request, so he just smiled and shook his head, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Prince Shenluo, but Ruoshui has friends and relatives here, so it's not convenient for me to leave..."
"Then Miss Ruoshui, why don't you join us in the auction of the Frost Lotus Fruit? It can be regarded as a treat for us to come to the Beixue Dynasty. What do you think?"
The young man in white robe at the side smiled faintly and said that this person was the Prince of Yunduan of the Yunduan Empire. He had a handsome appearance, and from his eyes one could tell that he was more reserved than the Prince of Shenluo in purple robe and the Prince of Wuque in gold robe. However, one could still tell that he liked King Ruoshui.
Indeed, to any man, Prince Ruoshui's appearance and figure are 100% impeccable. Even the prince of the Holy Rai Empire is extremely obsessed with her and hopes to bring her back to the empire to become his woman.
Originally, with their power, it would be easy for them to get a woman, but unfortunately, the three princes present all wanted Princess Ruoshui to be their woman, so a competition was formed.
In such a competition, it is certainly impossible for any prince to use force, otherwise the other two princes will definitely try to stop them. In this case, they can only rely on their own means to conquer Ruoshui's heart first.
In the eyes of the Prince of Shinra, the title of the prince of this small place could be easily obtained as long as he showed his power and authority, and his overall strength was indeed stronger than that of the Princes Wuque and Yunduan.
The body search just now was the first step of the Shinra Emperor's demonstration!
The so-called lost bracelet was completely fictitious. He just wanted King Ruoshui to know what kind of authority he had as the son of the Emperor of Shinra.
It would be best if there was a blind guy who came out to object to the body search, so that he could take advantage of the situation. Unfortunately, everyone in the field was very obedient, so he couldn't do anything.
However, this did not affect the demonstration of the Shinra Emperor. Everyone obeyed and allowed themselves to be searched, which already demonstrated his authority.
"That's no problem."
King Ruoshui had no choice but to nod and agree to Prince Yunduan’s request to follow them to participate in the auction of the Cold Lotus Fruit.
But today's matter is not over yet.
At this moment, the three disciples' eyes were almost simultaneously focused on a girl in a black miniskirt in the field, with unhappy expressions in their eyes.
This girl was Shu Chan!
Shu Chan saw that the three princes' eyes were focused on her, and their expressions were not very friendly. She couldn't help but feel uneasy. She didn't know what had happened. Could it be that Long Yu had just taken away her space warrior for safekeeping and was discovered by the three of them
This is not good!
But soon, Shu Chan realized that the other party did not notice this, and the reason why he paid attention to her was because she had taken the Cold Lotus Fruit!
"I have felt this bone-piercing coldness from my brother. It is the result of taking the Cold Lotus Fruit."
The Shinra Emperor said calmly, "This is one of the main reasons why I asked everyone to come out today. I sensed the scent of the Cold Lotus Fruit in the courtyard, but I couldn't be sure who it was. I could only ask everyone to show up. I'm really sorry."
He said sorry, but looking at his expression, he didn't show even the slightest bit of apology.
The act of establishing authority just now was just a casual move he made, just for fun, but now he was targeting Shu Chan, he was quite serious about it, and there was only one reason for it - Shu Chan had taken the Cold Lotus Fruit!
"Before coming here this time, I heard that the Northern Snow Dynasty only had one piece of the Winter Lotus Fruit left for sale this year. You know, in previous years, three pieces were sold. I was wondering why there were so few this year. It turned out that someone else had stolen it."
Emperor Wuque narrowed his eyes, looked at Shu Chan carefully, and directly accused her of "cheating"!
Long Yu was hiding aside, listening to what Prince Wuque said, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. It seemed that these three princes wanted to cause trouble for Shu Chan!
If Long Yu had not chosen to take the Cold Lotus Fruit at that time, he would probably have become a thorn in the eyes of the three people. However, even if only Shu Chan was targeted, Long Yu would not just ignore it.
"Yu Hanxin told me that the Beixue Dynasty produces five cold lotus fruits every year..."
Long Yu narrowed his eyes, thinking about what Yu Hanxin said at that time. This year, he gave three of the gold coins to him, Shu Chan and Mo Zhaitian, as a way for Emperor Beixue to repay the favor of the first Shura Prince.
Although Long Yu did not want the Cold Lotus Fruit, the Cold Lotus Fruit was still taken away by Yu Hanxin. As for what she did with it, Long Yu had no idea, and it had nothing to do with him.
Logically speaking, there should be two more that can be auctioned. Prince Wuque said that there is only one left this year. Could it be that the other one was also disposed of in advance by Queen Beixue
In previous years, five coins were produced and three were auctioned. Two of them must have been arranged by Queen Bei Xue herself. This year, because they were given to Shu Chan and others, there are fewer.
This also made the Shinra Emperor and his men very unhappy.
Scarcity makes things valuable, and everyone knows this truth. There is only one Cold Lotus Fruit left at the auction, so one can imagine that one would have to pay a huge price to get it!
Even the three princes were not sure of winning this auction, and even if they won, it would only be a pyrrhic victory, and it would cost much more than before.
This certainly made the three princes unhappy.
Therefore, the three of them all sensed the scent of the Cold Lotus Fruit on Shu Chan, and jointly launched a body search operation, and thus successfully found Shu Chan!
The Cold Lotus Fruit had already been consumed, so of course they couldn't do anything to Shu Chan, but they could get some information out of Shu Chan.
"Everyone else please disperse."
The white-robed Prince Yunduan waved his hand and asked everyone in the field to leave, leaving only Shu Chan and King Ruoshui.
Prince Ruoshui suddenly became nervous and stood beside Shuchan. She felt a little guilty at this moment. If she had not taken the initiative to arrange Shuchan and Long Yu in this courtyard, she would definitely not have encountered such a thing.
Shu Chan looked natural and not too nervous.
"My three princes, this cold lotus fruit was bestowed upon us by the Lord Beixue Emperor himself, because my ancestor was an old friend of the Lord Beixue Emperor."
Shu Chan said bluntly: "I wonder what the three princes want to ask me by keeping me here?"
She was very clear that in front of the three princes, her identity as Princess Shura was not enough, not to mention that she was no longer Princess Shura, and even Shura County no longer existed.
Although she appeared calm on the surface, she was still a little nervous inside. After all, she was facing a prince of the empire who was much stronger than her!
The Prince of Shenluo was just about to ask her where the cold lotus fruit came from, but he didn't expect Shu Chan to have already confessed it herself, and even directly refuted the accusation of "cheating" made by the Prince of Wuque!
The Shinra prince was speechless, but the white-robed Yunduan prince beside him smiled and said, "Little girl, what is your name? Don't be afraid. We have no ill intentions. We just want to know something about the Frost Lotus Fruit."
"My name is Shuchan."
Shu Chan did not hide anything and answered directly: "Ask whatever you want. I will tell you everything I know, but I don't know much about the Cold Lotus Fruit."
"The fruit of the cold lotus is the most precious treasure in the world. Taking it will have a certain chance of being compatible with the divine text of the cold ice attribute, which is equivalent to allowing martial artists to directly become compatible with two attributes, or even three attributes... The Beixue Dynasty only auctions three such treasures every year, and even this year there is only one, which is really too few."
The golden-robed Wuque Emperor stared at Shuchan's eyes. "However, under such circumstances, the Northern Snow Emperor still used the Winter Lotus Fruit to repay a favor. This is really ridiculous. If it were me, why would I use such a precious Winter Lotus Fruit to repay a favor? I could just give me a random Great Wilderness-class combat soldier... Miss Shuchan, am I right?"
"This is the decision of the Northern Snow Queen. I can't influence her thinking."
Shu Chan shook her head and directly pushed the blame onto Bei Xuehuang.
"Well said."
The white-robed Yundu Emperor spoke the softest voice. He looked at Shuchan and smiled gently, "Miss Shuchan, this has nothing to do with you. However, since you have taken the Frost Lotus Fruit, you cannot digest it in a short period of time. It is easy for others to sense the aura of the Frost Lotus Fruit from you. Now is the time when the auction of the Frost Lotus Fruit is about to begin. If you don't want to cause trouble, you'd better think of a way."
"Yunduan, what good words are you saying? Could it be that you like this little girl and want her to go with you?"
The Shinra Emperor said disdainfully.
"Since you said so, I'll admit it."
The Emperor Yunduan was not angry, and said with a smile: "This little girl looks very cute to me, I like her very much, and since she has taken the fruit of the cold lotus, it should be that the dual-attribute divine text is compatible, and her future martial arts achievements will definitely be high."
As the prince Yunduan spoke, he stared into Shuchan's bright eyes and said, "Miss Shuchan, why don't you come to my side and be my maid? I, Yunduan, will definitely treat you well!"
