Chapter 286 Millennium Ice Soul (1/2)

Chapter 286 Thousand-year Ice Soul

"I'm really sorry about what happened last night!!!"

In the living room of the Nalan family, Yao Ye bowed deeply when he saw Xiao Yan, his words full of apology and his face full of embarrassment.

This morning, Yao Ye woke up in a daze and still didn't know what happened last night.

However, when his sister showed him the record of the dinner party between him and Xiao Yan last night, Yao Ye wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into on the spot!

The eldest princess of the Jia Ma royal family, the future queen of the Jia Ma Empire, was so out of control in front of a man with whom she had a good impression.

But no matter how much Yao Ye didn't want to admit it, the incident had already happened. He didn't bother to investigate the matter of Yao Yue using his name to invite Xiao Yan, and hurried to the Nalan family to apologize to Xiao Yan in person.

In response, Xiao Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he remembered that Yao Ye had vomited in his face yesterday, and his expression was slightly ugly.

Xiao Yixian, who was standing by, watched Yao Ye bow his head to apologize to Xiao Yan, and then saw Xiao Yan's slightly ugly face, so she leaned over to Xiao Yan's ear and whispered.

"What did you do last night?"

".Nothing."

Xiao Yan paused, and perfunctorily passed it over.

He couldn't tell Xiao Yixian that the princess of the royal family in front of him vomited in his face after drinking too much yesterday? Not only would he feel embarrassed, but Yao Ye's face would also be lost.

Then Xiao Yan looked at Yao Ye and waved his hand lightly, saying.

"Your Highness Yao Ye, don't take it to heart, but you are the princess of the royal family after all. I personally suggest that you pay a little attention in similar occasions in the future."

Xiao Yan's words were sincere, and he was giving a good-intentioned admonition. It's okay to spit in his face, but if Yao Ye does this again in other important occasions in the future, it will be a big trouble.

In response, Yao Ye nodded seriously and responded solemnly.

"Yes! I will remember it!"

Although what happened yesterday was very embarrassing, it was also a lesson for me. I must be more careful in similar occasions in the future, at least don't drink so much alcohol on a whim.

However, both Xiao Yan and Yao Ye were obviously overthinking about this matter.

The reason why that happened at the dinner yesterday was entirely the result of Yao Yue's indulgence. In other occasions, when Yao Yue noticed that Yao Ye was drunk, she would immediately come forward to rescue him.

Although Yao Ye vomited all over Xiao Yan's face, it was indeed a situation that Yao Yue did not expect.

Yao Ye stood up, and Xiao Jing beside him asked softly.

"Your Highness Yao Ye, did Jia Lao tell you what happened last night?"

"Uh" Yao Ye was slightly stunned, and then scratched his face awkwardly, "I just woke up today and rushed over. I haven't seen my great grandfather yet. May I ask what happened?"

Seeing that Yao Ye really didn't know, Xiao Jing explained it to her in a clear and orderly manner.

"Last night, Queen Medusa showed up and discussed the migration of the snake people with Jia Lao. Various basic regulations have been set. From now on, you and I will be responsible for the progress of this matter."

"."

Yao Ye was speechless and slapped his forehead suddenly.

He didn't know anything about such a big thing. It was indeed because of drinking that he made trouble.

"There is one more thing. Jia Lao hired me to be your teacher. Please give me more advice in the future."

Xiao Jin said with a smile and stretched out his hand to Yao Ye.

Yao Ye was stunned at first, and then his expression showed obvious joy.

From the snake people incident, Yao Ye had personally experienced Xiao Jin's methods and witnessed Xiao Jin's martial arts that far exceeded ordinary people. From then on, Yao Ye admired Xiao Jin very much.

Although Yao Ye didn't know that Jia Xingtian hired Xiao Jin as his teacher before, Yao Ye was absolutely willing.

With Xiao Jin's teaching, he would definitely make this country better!

"Then I'll leave it to you, Teacher Xiao Jing!"

Yao Ye reached out and held Xiao Jing's hand, his eyes full of excitement, and even changed his name.

Seeing that Yao Ye didn't look unhappy at all, Xiao Jing smiled and said.

"My professor may be a little strict, so please be prepared in advance, Your Highness Yao Ye."

"Yes! Please rest assured! No matter how difficult the course is, I will definitely complete it!"

Yao Ye excitedly made such a bold statement.

As for whether he will regret it in the future, that is another story.

At this time, the servant of the Nalan family came to the living room and reported to Nalan Jie.

"Master, there is another person outside the door, asking to see Miss Xiao Jing."

"Hmm?" Nalan Jie raised his eyebrows slightly, and then shook his sleeves, "Please come in."

"Yes."

After the servant left for a while, he brought a green-haired woman to the living room.

This person was Lu Man from the Tianshe Mansion.

"Well, Xiao Jing, can I take the Saint away today?" Lu Man, as a Dou Huang, was full of flattery at this time. He asked Xiao Jing with a wry smile: "The Heavenly Snake Palace sent a message urging me to take the Saint back as soon as possible."

Although Jia Xingtian has given Lu Man enough courtesy in the past few days, to be honest, Lu Man has lived for so many years, and has never felt more injustice than in the past few days in Jiama Holy City.

He is a Dou Huang, but he is so humble in front of a Dou Ling.

But, what can he do?

Whether the Saint Qing Lin is willing to leave depends on Xiao Jing's words. What can he do if he doesn't lower his posture?

Take her away by force? Do you really think that Jia Xingtian and his gang are just eating for free?

The most critical problem is that the superiors have given him a death order, and he must bring the saint back. This makes Lu Man want to maintain his dignity and leave in anger. Otherwise, he and Bai Ya will not be able to report back.

Lu Man now truly understands how miserable it is to be a worker.

Seeing Lu Man being so cautious, afraid of angering him, Xiao Jing can't help but feel funny.

Then, Xiao Jing smiled warmly and said softly.

"Elder Lu Man, you don't need to be so restrained, just do as usual."

Indeed, Xiao Jing did have a very bad impression of Lu Man and the entire Tianshe Mansion that day, and even wanted to kill Lu Man on the spot.

But this is a different time.

Since Qing Lin has decided to go to Tianshe Mansion, it is unreasonable for Xiao Jing to show hostility to Lu Man. They will meet many times in the future. It is not good for him or Qing Lin to offend Lu Man.

Xiao Jing's words made Lu Man slightly stunned, and her attitude towards Xiao Jing softened a little.

Immediately, Xiao Jing continued.

"I have already prepared clothes for Qing Lin yesterday, you can leave at any time."

"Really? That's great!"

Joy immediately appeared on Lu Man's face. She stayed in the Holy City of Jia Ma for so many days in fear, wasn't it just to get this sentence?

Then, Xiao Jing turned to face Qing Lin, squatted slightly, and looked at Qing Lin's emerald green pupils gently.

Qing Lin stared at Xiao Jing's black eyes, and recalled the various ways Xiao Jing took care of her, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Although, she chose to go to the Heavenly Snake Mansion, she also knew that she would be separated from Xiao Jing sooner or later.

But when this day really came, Qing Lin couldn't help feeling sad.

"Sister."

Qing Lin whispered in a low voice, Xiao Jing smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to touch Qing Lin's side face, his eyes full of love.

"Qinglin, I won't be by your side in the future. Take care of yourself when you go there."

Xiao Jing gently touched Qinglin's forehead and whispered softly.

"No matter what difficulties and grievances you encounter in the future, come to me at any time. Don't worry about causing trouble to your sister."

Qinglin choked up as she looked at Xiao Jing's gentle affection, then stretched out her arms covered with snake scales, hugged Xiao Jing's neck tightly, and whispered in Xiao Jing's ear.

"Thank you, sister."

Qinglin then let go of Xiao Jing, and then Xiao Jing took out a ring from her arms and handed it to Qinglin.

"The items I bought yesterday are all in it, take them with you."

"Yes."

Qinglin took the ring and nodded in response.

Immediately, Xiao Jing stood up, stroked Qinglin's head, and brought her to Lu Man.

Then, in Lu Man's astonished eyes, Xiao Jing bowed deeply to Lu Man.

"Qinglin, please take good care of me."

Looking at Xiao Jing who bowed his head to him, Lu Man couldn't help but feel a little confused.

This... is this the arrogant woman who wanted to kill him that day?

She actually bowed to him?

Then Lu Man looked at Qinglin beside Xiao Jing, with a little complexity in his eyes.

Lu Man knew that Xiao Jing was willing to bow to him for Qinglin.

Xiao Jing really cared about Qinglin.

After a long time, Lu Man breathed a sigh of relief and replied solemnly.

"Please rest assured, even if I die, I will never let the saint be in danger."

This is Lu Man's personal promise to Xiao Jing.

Qinglin then said goodbye to everyone one by one. In the eyes of everyone, Lu Man took Qinglin and flew farther and farther until they disappeared.

Xiao Jing stared at the direction where the two disappeared, and he didn't look away for a long time.

"Sister."

Xiao Yan called out with concern, and Xiao Yi came back to his senses and smiled back.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Xiao Yi looked into the distance again, with a little sadness in his eyes, "It's just that since I started taking care of Qing Lin, this is the first time I have to be separated from her for such a long time."

Xiao Yi really respected Qing Lin's choice.

However, the worry in his heart could not be erased. "Okay, okay, there are many things to do later, but there is no time for me to be sad." Xiao Yi smiled and brushed Xiao Yan's hair, and said softly: "Yan'er, you are about to leave too, right?"

"Yes, I will leave today."

Xiao Yan nodded heavily, Xiao Yi's expression relaxed, and his eyes looked at Xiao Yixian.

"I'll leave you as my younger brother."

"Yes!"

Xiao Yixian nodded solemnly.

Jama Holy City, Mittel Auction House.

At this time, Tengshan was discussing the migration of the snake people with Yafei, and Hai Bodong was lying on the sofa and eating an apple out of boredom.

Although it is reasonable to say that this matter is between the royal family and the snake people, and has nothing to do with the Mitel family, but this morning, Jia Xingtian came to say hello specifically, hoping that the Mitel family can participate in this matter as a supplier.

"Grandfather, all supplies are supplied at the purchase price. Even if the transportation is solved by the royal family and the snake people, the goods are prepared by the Mitel family. Isn't this a big loss in the long-term supply?"

Yafei looked at the transaction information in her hand with some worry. All supplies are supplied at the purchase price, which means that the Mitel family can't make any money from it. If there is any loss in the middle, the Mitel family will have to pay a lot of money.

If this is just a one-time transaction, it's fine. As long as it can get on the line of the royal family, it's worth losing some money.

But the key issue is that this transaction is long-term, ranging from five years to ten years. The losses accumulated over time are by no means a small amount!

"Ya Fei, you should always take a long-term view and don't worry too much about the immediate gains and losses." Tengshan pinched his beard lightly and said calmly: "As long as we accept this deal, the royal family will be able to talk easily in the future. On the one hand, when the snake people are truly integrated into the Jia Ma Empire, the profits will be quite huge."

"I know this, but..."

Ya Fei was also at a loss for words. It was not that she had not considered this matter, but she still felt that it was not worth it.

A lot of investment, very little return, and irreparable time costs, which is completely unacceptable to Ya Fei.

Looking at Ya Fei's expression, Tengshan smiled softly.

No matter how talented Yafei is, she is still just a young man in his twenties, and his vision is naturally not as vicious as that of an old guy like him who has been in the mall for decades.

"Ya Fei, you have to understand that some transactions cannot be based solely on money. There are many things that you can't buy with money."

"But what if something goes wrong with the Snake Tribe?"

Before Yafei finished speaking, she was interrupted by Tengshan raising his hand.

"If that's what you're worried about, then it's no problem." Tengshan said, looking at Hai Bodong who was lying on the sofa chewing an apple, "Hai Bodong, are you right?"

"Ah~"

Haibodong threw the clean apple core in his hand into the trash can and glanced at Yafei with his purple eyes.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to the snake people."

"Yes, Ya Fei knows."

Yafei finally responded like this.

In this transaction, what worries Ya Fei the most is the issue of the Snake Tribe.

Although the Snake Tribe has signed a reconciliation treaty with the Garma Imperial Family, and even the relevant articles of association have been drafted, if the Snake Tribe conflicts with the Garma Empire again during this transaction, then the previous efforts of the Miter Family will not be enough. All in vain?

But after hearing Haibodong's guarantee, Yafei was speechless.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the guard's voice came in.

"Miss Yafei, Mr. Xiao Yan is waiting in the lobby."

"Xiao Yan?"

Yafei was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the day she asked Xiao Yan to refine the Qi Gathering Powder.

To be honest, with this deal now in front of me, three Qi Gathering Powders are nothing.

But Yafei still turned to look at Tengshan and said.

"Grandpa, I'm going out for a while."

"Well, go ahead."

Tengshan didn't care and waved his hand lightly. Haibodong also turned over and jumped off the sofa.

"Let's go, I'll go with you to meet that kid."

Haibodong and Yafei came to the hall one after another and saw Xiao Yan and the Little Medical Fairy sitting on the sofa in the hall waiting.

Seeing the two people arriving, Xiao Yan stood up first to greet them.

"Senior Haibodong, Sister Yafei, good afternoon."

The little medical fairy also stood up with Xiao Yan and nodded to the two of them.

Then Xiao Yan didn't waste much time and took out the pill bottle containing three Qi Gathering Powders from the ring and handed it to Ya Fei.

"Sister Yafei, these are the three Qi Gathering Powders agreed upon before. Check them to see if they meet the requirements."

"Haha~ Brother Xiao Yan is doing something, I can rest assured, there is no need to check."

Yafei took the elixir bottle and smiled, with no intention of checking it.

I believe that Xiao Yan is on the one hand. With Xiao Yan's nature, if he can't stand it, he will never use it to make a deal.

"Are you leaving today?"

Haibodong put his hands in his pockets, looked up at Xiao Yan and asked, Xiao Yan nodded lightly.

"Well, everything that needs to be done has been done, let's set off now."

"Hmph~~~"

Haibodong groaned, and then took out his little hand from his pocket. Xiao Yan instinctively stretched out his hand to catch it, and suddenly felt a chill that pierced his heart.

Taking a closer look, it is a prismatic ice crystal with sharp edges and corners.

(This is...thousand-year ice soul?!)

Before Xiao Yan could ask any questions, the sound of medicine sinking sounded in his heart, followed by Hai Bodong's voice in Xiao Yan's ears.

"This object is called Millennium Ice Soul. After being absorbed, the fighting energy will permanently possess the properties of ice." Haibodong crossed his short arms and said softly: "I originally wanted to find a disciple to pass it on to him, but I met him I don’t have this plan anymore, no matter how hard I look, I can’t find anyone who can see through it.”

Saying this, Haibodong curled his lips slightly.

Forget about those who have already accepted apprentices. For those who have not received apprentices, when they see a person like Xiao Yan, they will first follow Xiao Yan's standards when looking for apprentices.

But how could someone like Xiao Yan find the second one so easily?

Xiao Yan had helped him so much, and Hai Bodong was quite optimistic about Xiao Yan, so he treated it as a favor.

"Senior Haibodong! This is too valuable! I can't accept it!"

Just listening to Hai Bodong's description, Xiao Yan knew how valuable this thing was and quickly backed away, but Hai Bodong rolled his eyes at him.

"Huh? Who said it was for you? Do you really think that you, a fire attribute person, can absorb this thing?" As he said that, Hai Bodong pursed his lips to the little medical fairy next to him, "I gave it to this little girl, she Isn't it that evil poisonous body? This thing can suppress it just right, just right for her."

Haibodong's words made Xiao Yan hesitate in his heart, and he glanced at the stunned little medical fairy.

If it were him, he would definitely not accept it.

But this thing was for the Little Medical Fairy, and it could suppress the Little Medical Fairy's poisonous body, which made Xiao Yan couldn't help but hesitate.

At this time, the little medical fairy also came to his senses, knowing that Xiao Yan felt embarrassed, and whispered to Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, you don't have to worry about me, just do what you want."

The little medical fairy was very attracted by the effect of the thousand-year ice soul in suppressing his disaster poisonous body, but if accepting it would make Xiao Yan embarrassed, the little medical fairy was definitely not willing to accept it.

Although the little medical fairy does not recognize Xiao Yan's right path, the little medical fairy knows how important Xiao Yan's right path is to him. Even if he cannot follow it, he must at least not cause trouble to his right path.

Otherwise, following Xiao Yan would be a pure drag.

Xiao Yan hesitated for a long time looking at the Thousand-Year Ice Soul in his hand, and finally made up his mind. Holding the Thousand-Year Ice Soul in his hands, he knelt down on one knee to Haibodong.

"Senior Haibodong, Xiao Yan is currently unable to repay this kind of kindness." Xiao Yan stared into Haibodong's purple eyes with burning eyes, "In the future, if you encounter any trouble, please feel free to ask Xiao Yan If Yan opens his mouth, Xiao Yan will never give up!"

Although Xiao Yan had previously entrusted Yao Shen to help Hai Bodong refine Po'er Dan in the Tagore Desert, helping him regain the strength of the Dou Huang.

But in Xiao Yan's heart, Hai Bodong had already risked his life to help Xiao Yan in return for the Snake Tribe incident.

Therefore, this thousand-year ice soul is a great favor that Xiao Yan has endured.

Haibodong said it was for the Little Medical Fairy, but Xiao Yan knew that Haibodong took out the Thousand-Year Ice Soul just for his own sake.

What's more, the little medical fairy's matter is his own matter, which is what he promised to Boss Yao.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about it later."

Haibodong waved his hand in disgust. He had experienced firsthand how troublesome Xiao Yan's character was. It was so difficult to give something away.

Immediately, Haibodong seemed to remember something.

"By the way, there is also this." Hai Bodong took out a fragment of the map from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Yan, "I got this by chance in the Tagor Desert before. I have been drawing maps for so many years and I don't know. What is this thing? Take it, maybe you can use it."

"this"

Xiao Yan stared blankly at the broken picture in his hand. Before he could say anything, Hai Bodong waved his hand and turned around to leave.

After a long time, Xiao Yan stood up and put away the thousand-year ice soul and the residual picture with gratitude in his heart.

Then he faced Ya Fei and solemnly clasped his fists.

"Sister Yafei, I'll take my leave and see you later."

After saying that, Xiao Yan seemed to be afraid of something, and immediately turned around and left the Miter Auction House with the little medical fairy, not daring to stay even half a step, leaving Ya Fei to stare blankly at the closed door.

Immediately, Ya Fei raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction, her jade fingers lightly touching her red lips.

"Really, why are you running so fast? My sister hasn't kissed you goodbye yet."

Saying this, Yafei turned around, twisted her waist and went up the stairs, smiling charmingly.

"Forget it, wait until next time~"
