"Debts, Curiosity, and Secrets

"A hundred thousand gold coins for a meal was just the beginning, much like ten thousand gold coins to use the restroom, another ten thousand to wash your hands, and ten thousand more to drink water.

Before nightfall, over a million spiritual gold coins were added to Qian Daoliu's bill. The following morning, tens of millions of spiritual gold coins were tallied for accommodation expenses. Fortunately, Qian Daoliu had brought 200 million spiritual gold coins, which turned out to be more than enough.

'Dare you open a black market store in our city of Tiandou? You are quite audacious and show no respect for our Tiandou Empire. We'll see who's audacious.'"

With these angry words, several individuals led by a man entered the store. The man was clearly wealthy and exuded an arrogant attitude, signaling his affiliation with a prominent family. Beside him was a slender man who resembled a spear, with dark green beard and hair, and a pair of emerald-like eyes. His expression remained entirely stoic, with sunken cheeks and unruly green hair, giving him an unusual appearance.

As soon as Ye Xuan saw the second individual, a name crossed his mind. Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo was known as the Jade Serpent Emperor, nicknamed the venomous tyrant of the world and had a significant reputation among the Titled Douluo. Dugu Bo was most famous in the narrative not for his Douluo title or poison-related abilities, but for his Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, a crucial plot element. Ye Xuan did not anticipate Dugu Bo's presence, but he needed to find a way to obtain the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Old Qian Daoliu continued sitting on his stool, indifferent to whether this young man caused trouble. Nonetheless, Ye Xuan also glanced at Dugu Bo, as Titled Douluo were a rare sight.

"Welcome, all of you are welcome to the store. Here, we sell various treasure boxes ranging from 100 spiritual gold coins to 10 million. Are you interested in opening one and trying your luck? I guarantee you won't be disappointed," Ye Xuan said with a smile.

"Asking me for money? You risk your life. Don't you know who I am? Believe me, I will have your store destroyed," shouted an infuriated Prince Xue.

Ye Xuan's complexion immediately improved. Could it be that another Qian Daoliu had arrived?

"Sir, please take a look at the treasure boxes above. Each one contains a treasure, including a hundred-thousand-year-old soul ring, soul bones, conditions for godhood, and items that enhance soul power. After opening a treasure box, as long as you return it, there will be something inside. The golden treasure box costs one million spiritual gold coins, and the purple gold box costs ten million spiritual gold coins. They are quite expensive. Would you like to open one and try your luck?" suggested Ye Xuan enthusiastically."

What he longed for at this moment was to come across another Qian Daoliu. It would be perfect if this one could wreak havoc in the store.

Prince Xue had been intrigued by what Ye Xuan mentioned and wanted to open one of the boxes immediately to see if they contained what was described.

"Your Majesty."

Before Prince Xue could express his desire, Dugu Bo halted him.

As soon as he entered the store, Dugu Bo fixed his gaze on Qian Daoliu.

As a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo maintained a keen sense of perception and felt an immense pressure emanating from Qian Daoliu.

He never would have imagined finding another Titled Douluo in this small store.

Just as Prince Xue was about to speak brusquely, Dugu Bo interrupted him.

Prince Xue was momentarily perplexed but then noticed Dugu Bo motioning with his eyes to focus on the man sitting on the stool.

Seeing their expressions, Ye Xuan knew that Dugu Bo had detected something unusual.

Seeing hundreds of millions of spiritual gold coins about to slip away, Ye Xuan's expression darkened instantly.

"Why are you sitting there like a fool? Don't you know how to greet guests when they enter? You look like a wooden statue. Go to the back so that guests don't see you and get infuriated!" Ye Xuan exclaimed angrily.

Qian Daoliu felt aggrieved. No one had addressed him in this manner in a hundred years. Even Tang Chen and Bo Saixi hadn't dared to be so discourteous, let alone now that he had reached the level one hundred of soul power, a divine level.

"Humph."

Qian Daoliu snorted coldly, causing his overwhelming presence to instantly vanish before heading to the backyard.

Although others did not perceive it clearly, Dugu Bo could feel the immense pressure choking him. He couldn't move or think clearly.

He found it hard to believe just how powerful that man was. It was entirely incomprehensible.

If that man had malicious intentions, he wouldn't be able to follow his movements at all.

Despite his low cultivation level, Ye Xuan noticed what was happening and recorded a debt of 10 million in his account book. No, it wasn't a crime, but rather an intimidation towards his guests.

"Guys, that individual was kicked out by me. If you're interested in that treasure chest, I can help you obtain it. By the looks of it, you are not ordinary folks. Furthermore, the Crown Prince, the leader of the Glazed Qibao Sect, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo, spent over 10 million spiritual gold coins in the store and have highly praised the products here," explained Ye Xuan attentively.

Prince Xue, remembering Dugu Bo's suggestion to leave, was about to depart, but Ye Xuan's words piqued his curiosity.

"I wonder what they acquired here," Prince Snow inquired.

Ye Xuan smiled faintly, "I'm sorry to say that customer privacy cannot be revealed to strangers. I can only tell you that they obtained something from my store that has the potential to change their lives forever."

These words further heightened Prince Snow's interest.

Emperor Xue Ye once tasked Prince Xue with investigating the deaths of the Elder Prince and the Second Prince, but Prince Xue focused his investigation on Xue Qinghe and didn't dare to continue. Now, upon learning that Xue Qinghe had benefited from this store, his curiosity was ignited.

"I'm afraid we don't have enough money, I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we must go," Dugu Bo murmured softly.

This place was so strange that Dugu Bo didn't want to stay any longer.

"They must be the famous Poison Douluo among the Titled Douluo. It's a pity they used poison throughout their lives but didn't develop the ability to detoxify themselves. Fortunately, they found me. Otherwise, the poison would have consumed them over time. In a few years, they would have been doomed to poison themselves to death," Ye Xuan said firmly.
