Chapter 135 Treasure Appreciation Meeting, It Seems There Really Are Good Things
Sharp-eyed Huo Yuhao saw a familiar figure from behind. That round and rolling physique was simply too recognizable.
It was Xie Huanyue.
"This is the Treasure Appreciation Meeting, and all core disciples of the outer court can participate. Is it strange to see Xie Huanyue?" Lin Yun looked at Huo Yuhao with a strange expression.
"Uh, it seems that is indeed the case." Huo Yuhao froze for a moment before nodding in belated realization.
"Let us go, we can talk after entering." Lin Yun twitched the corners of his mouth and ignored Huo Yuhao's strange train of thought. He held Xiao Xiao's small hand and walked into the Treasure Appreciation Meeting first.
Ning Tian and Wu Feng walked arm in arm, following close behind Lin Yun. Huo Yuhao followed at the very back.
Upon entering, the characteristic decoration style of the Douluo Continent appeared before Lin Yun in the most direct manner. There were no flashy tricks, as it relied entirely on gold, crystals, and various precious metals and gems for decoration. It highlighted a style of tyrant gold and the scent of the nouveau riche.
However, it had to be said that perhaps due to inheriting the Golden Dragon King bloodline, Lin Yun had acquired the Dragon Clan's habit of liking shiny objects.
He actually felt that this decoration style suited his taste.
It was truly incredibly strange.
"It is truly blinding!" Lin Yun could not help but exclaim.
"Welcome, distinguished guests!"
As soon as Lin Yun's voice faded, eight young women wearing golden long dresses in the corridor bowed ninety degrees simultaneously. They spoke respectfully in sweet and pleasant voices.
Eight... Eight Spider Lances?!
How were these welcoming young women? They were clearly female demons who sucked human essence!
"It is lacking a bit." Lin Yun walked through the corridor without his expression changing. His gaze did not even linger on them for a fraction of a second.
This included the young women who appeared in the next section of the corridor, whose "quality" was far superior to the previous eight. They similarly failed to cause the slightest fluctuation in Lin Yun's heart.
This was not because Lin Yun was a man of unassailable virtue like Liu Xiahui.
It was simply that the sense of amazement Xiao Xiao had previously brought to Lin Yun was too strong. Furthermore, this little lolita, who had somewhat transformed into a young woman, was currently nestled in his arms like a dependent bird. How could he look upon these "vulgar cosmetics"?
Although they were called welcoming young women, they were actually a type of merchandise of the Treasure Pavilion. As long as one paid the money, one could take them away and do whatever one wished with them.
One had to know that these young women were specially cultivated by the Treasure Pavilion. They were taken to a specialized training base when they were still young to learn various kinds of knowledge until they became perfect "merchandise."
And to which organization did the Treasure Pavilion belong?
Shrek.
Setting aside the backgrounds of these young women for the moment, digging deeper might reveal some interesting things. However, judging solely by Shrek Academy's conduct, what was the difference between this and a slave owner selling slaves?
Moreover, these slaves were the most superb sexual slaves among all slaves.
Impressive, truly impressive.
The starting price for one young woman was one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins. The cost of raising them likely did not even amount to one-tenth of that. With ten times the profit, was this not more satisfying than collecting taxes?
Comparing these "goods" cultivated by Shrek to Xiao Xiao was truly somewhat of an insult to Xiao Xiao. Lin Yun gave himself two slaps in his heart; how could he have such abstract thoughts?
Xiao Xiao, who was holding Lin Yun's arm, raised her red lips slightly. A trace of a smile flashed through her bright eyes.
Lin Yun was excellent, and Xiao Xiao was very clear about this.
A person like him was destined to be admired by many people. In the future, there would certainly not only be her as his woman, and Xiao Xiao had already prepared herself psychologically to get along harmoniously with other sisters in the future.
However, Xiao Xiao still hoped that the sisters Lin Yun found for her were those he truly liked, rather than purely relationships born of desire.
Fortunately, Lin Yun was not a promiscuous person and was worth entrusting her life to.
On the contrary, it seemed Huo Yuhao's eyes were not quite enough to see everything.
Xiao Xiao belonged to Lin Yun, and Ning Tian obviously had some other thoughts about Lin Yun as well. Wu Feng completely failed to arouse even a bit of interest in Huo Yuhao; these three girls were not ones he could approach.
But Huo Yuhao, whose heart was stirring with youthful romance, very much wanted to have a sweet relationship. Upon suddenly seeing so many young ladies, it was inevitable that he appeared somewhat uncomposed.
After arriving inside the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Yun stopped walking. He turned around and said, "Since we have arrived, let us separate temporarily for now. Go and see if there are any good things you fancy, and we will meet up later."
"I will just follow Brother Yun," Xiao Xiao said without hesitation. Her hands holding Lin Yun tightened slightly, causing his arm to sink into her youthful buds.
"I will also follow you. There is a high probability that there is nothing I want here," Ning Tian said with a reserved smile, pursing her lips.
"Wherever Ning Tian goes, I go." Wu Feng also stated her attitude.
Then, only Huo Yuhao remained.
Regarding this, Huo Yuhao could only smile helplessly and left consciously on his own.
Sometimes, a small circle was not something one could integrate into just because one wanted to. This was the case for Huo Yuhao at this moment, even though he now possessed the Titan Snow Demon Second Martial Soul.
In terms of talent, he was even stronger than Ning Tian and Wu Feng, making him fully qualified to join this small group.
But being unable to fit in meant being unable to fit in; there was obviously no place for Huo Yuhao in this small circle.
He could only choose to leave, rather than staying here and increasing the annoyance. The only one he was familiar with was Lin Yun; Xiao Xiao and the other two were not familiar with him, nor did they have any intention of making friends with him.
Then what was the point of him staying?
To say he was not disappointed would be impossible. However, all Huo Yuhao could do was firm up his determination to become stronger. In the Douluo Continent, power could not solve every problem, but it could solve the vast majority of them.
As long as he had strength, there would be friends, and there would be partners.
After Huo Yuhao left, Lin Yun wandered around with the three women. Before long, they encountered the small opportunity from the original work: a piece labeled as thousand-year Whale Glue that was actually ten-thousand-year Whale Glue. He easily took it into his possession.
Seeing Lin Yun buy the Whale Glue, Ning Tian and Wu Feng did not think much of it. The two of them had also consumed Whale Glue before. This kind of heavenly treasure could enhance physical quality, and when they were young, Ning Tian and Wu Feng had eaten quite a lot of it.
On the contrary, Xiao Xiao's thoughts slid in a different direction.
She had long harbored some strange thoughts about Lin Yun in her heart. As long as there was a suitable opportunity, she did not mind taking the initiative with Lin Yun.
And Whale Glue had another very famous effect:
Aphrodisiac.
"Brother Yun bought Whale Glue. Could it be that he wants to do that kind of shameful thing with me? Ah..." Thinking of this, a touching flush appeared on Xiao Xiao's fair little face, looking incomparably alluring.
It was a pity that Lin Yun did not notice the beautiful scenery right under his eyelids at this moment. His attention was attracted by another item.
"Alright then... I originally just wanted to come here to join in the fun. Who would have thought I could actually pick up a bargain?"
