ALL NOVEL Chapter 105
Chapter 105: Two Golden Lion Kings of Life and Death Realm Guarding the Gate
When Concubine Fei heard that the shadow guards had gone to the secret base, she was genuinely shocked.
Langya Pavilion has two bases in the capital of each dynasty: one visible, one hidden.
Only the top brass of Langya Pavilion know about the hidden base.
Even the royal family shouldn’t be privy to that information.
For instance, the two major powers, the Holy Demon Dynasty and Wu Kingdom, only know about Langya Pavilion’s visible base.
In the entire Cangzhou Continent, only the hidden base in the Great Xia capital is known to the royal family.
Consequently, Concubine Fei has gained a new understanding of Great Xia’s shadow guards.
…
“I want to buy some obedient monsters,” Qin Bei stated his intention directly.
“Does the prince have any requirements? For example, regarding cultivation level or type?” Concubine Fei asked.
“What kind of monster can I buy for one million spirit stones?” Qin Bei inquired.
He wasn’t very familiar with the market for monsters, so he needed to get his facts straight.
“For one million spirit stones, you can buy a demon beast at the Nascent Soul Realm. Would you like a mount, Prince?”
“Indeed! A prince should have a majestic mount. Luckily, we just received a new batch of demon beast mounts at the auction house, and I can offer you a discount,” Concubine Fei said with a smile.
“Well then, take me to have a look first. If I like it, I’ll buy,” Qin Bei replied as he stood up.
“Please, right this way, Prince,” she beckoned, leading the way.
Qin Bei followed behind. Truth be told, although it was not his first time seeing Concubine Fei, that sultry figure could really make one lose focus.
“I heard that Prince Bei became Ling Kexin’s first guest of honor. I’m quite curious about what she looks like. Can you tell me more, Prince?” Fei Fei asked, trying to break the silence.
“She’s just alright. Anyway, with half-covered features, I can’t see her clearly. But her figure is certainly no match for Miss Fei Fei,” Qin Bei replied.
In reality, he had already seen Ling Kexin’s face quite clearly with his double pupils. What surprised him was that there was a finger-sized mark on Ling Kexin’s face, resembling a birthmark.
Though it wasn’t black, it did affect her looks.
Without it, she wouldn’t be much prettier than Princess Ling’er.
The people at Langya Pavilion clearly weren’t aware of this detail.
That’s likely why they ranked her only third in desirability.
This also reminded Qin Bei of the saying from his previous life: most internet celebrities who don’t show their faces are usually hideous.
Ling Kexin always wears a veil, obviously to hide that blemish.
…
“Hearing the prince say this, Fei Fei is quite pleased.”
“It’s just the truth,” he shrugged.
The two continued their idle chatter.
After a few minutes, they arrived at the back of the auction house.
On seeing the expansive yard littered with beasts, Qin Bei gasped in wonder.
“There are so many monsters! I thought I’d wandered into the Beast Control Sect!”
“Heh~ The monsters tamed by our Langya Pavilion are no less impressive than those from the Beast Control Sect,” Fei Fei boasted.
“Prince, feel free to explore and choose whatever you like,” she suggested.
“Alright,” Qin Bei agreed and began his leisurely stroll.
He observed each beast with his double pupils, finding flying beasts in the sky, walking beasts on land, and swimming beasts in the water—there was certainly no shortage!
Finally, his gaze landed on a Golden Lion King.
Staring at the impressive ten-meter-long figure, the golden eyes, and the flowing golden mane, he thought, Pure-blood lineage indeed.
“When fully grown, the Golden Lion King can reach the Immortal Realm. As a mount, it’s utterly spectacular—perfect for you, Prince,” she boasted.
“It’s indeed striking; I’ll take this one,” Qin Bei decided firmly.
“But these two Golden Lion Kings are already in the Life and Death Realm, so regarding the price…” Fei Fei tested the waters.
Even if Qin Bei was the owner of the Tianzi Auction Room, selling Life and Death Realm beasts at the price of Nascent Soul Realm monsters would be quite implausible.
“I want both Golden Lion Kings. How many spirit stones will that be?” Qin Bei asked.
“Each Golden Lion King costs 3.5 million, but I can offer you a special price of 3 million apiece. How does that sound?”
Fei Fei bit her lip, pushing the price down to the absolute minimum.
Three million felt like a fire sale at a significant loss!
“Deal!” Qin Bei was too lazy to haggle; it was just money.
So, six million spirit stones vanished straight from his hands.
Once again, he was left with just one million spirit stones.
Even so, Qin Bei felt a bit irked.
With the remaining one million spirit stones, he proceeded to buy cultivation resources, instructing the auction house staff to deliver them directly to the prince’s manor.
He wouldn’t be using these resources anyway, as he didn’t need anything to improve his cultivation.
Wasn’t it just great to have the system directly convert resources into cultivation instead? So quick and comfy!
Looking at the system’s krypton points, Qin Bei felt quite pleased anew.
“Prince, you can take these two beasts away now. It’s a blessing for them to become your mounts,” Fei Fei offered the control jade slips for the two Golden Lion Kings.
However, Qin Bei didn’t accept them.
“Who said these are for riding? Send them to the manor! From now on, these two Golden Lions will be the guard beasts of my manor. They look incredibly intimidating—perfect for guarding the gate!” Qin Bei stated matter-of-factly.
Fei Fei: ???
“What did I hear?”
Guarding the gate?
Using a Golden Lion King as a gate guard?
And it’s a Life and Death Realm Golden Lion King…
Is the prince’s estate upgraded to this level already?
Still, I have to admit, having a Golden Lion King as an entryway guard does sound quite flashy.
“Then, as you say, Prince?” she asked hesitantly.
“Hmm, just coordinate with the housekeeper,” he instructed, leaving that bit of guidance before getting ready to exit.
But he didn’t head back to the manor.
Instead, he made his way to Luofeng Tower.
Now, Qin Bei had become quite the celebrity in Luofeng Tower.
The one and only man to become Ling Kexin’s guest of honor.
Inside Ling Tower…
“Prince Bei’s back again! Is he here looking for Ling Kexin once more?”
“That’s unlikely. Even if he is her first guest, it’s not like he can just stroll in whenever he pleases, right?”
“Who knows? Prince Bei is so exceptional; perhaps he’s already won Ling Kexin over?”
“Wouldn’t that drive Prince Xiu mad? He’s been chasing Ling Kexin for a whole year without success, but Prince Bei swooped in and snagged her in one go!”
“Hahaha, what does that matter to us? That’s a royal power struggle! I’ve been sick of Prince Xiu’s holier-than-thou attitude for ages!”
…..
Everyone turned to look at the speaker, feeling surprised that someone dared to voice their distaste for Prince Xiu.
Upon further inspection, they saw it was the son from the first money bank.
Qian Lei!
This wasn’t exactly a shocker.
After being dealt with by Prince Xiu, he still had enough clout to throw in a few harsh words.
But that was about all he could do.
Qin Bei didn’t pay much attention to their chatter.
He strolled through the crowd, entering the inner sanctum of Ling Tower.
The people present were left utterly dumbfounded.
Is he… really just walking in uninvited?
So does that mean Prince Bei has a relationship with Ling Kexin that’s not to be overlooked…?
“Breaking news!”
…
Meanwhile, in the palace.
Ying Yibai reported the morning’s events to Ying in detail.
After hearing the whole story, Ying was equally astounded and rushed to find Emperor Xia.
