"Dugu Bo's Humbling Encounter"
As a titled Douluo, Dugu Bo has his own self-esteem. Prince Xue Beng has been trying to win his favor during this time. Dugu Bo naturally knows why, but now he really needs soul gold coins. Dugu Bo casually took the gold tickets from the pile of soul gold coins and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
A joyful expression appeared on Prince Xue Beng's face. He is not afraid of rejection. As long as he accepts it, everything will be easier in the future. Approaching a titled Douluo was a significant matter for Prince Snow Star, who didn't feel very confident.
"Mr. Dugu, please use it. If it's not enough, Xiao Wang can collect a little more," Prince Xuexing said with a smile.
With a "pop" sound, the pile of gold notes from the soul gold coins was placed in front of Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan looked at Dugu Bo, who appeared arrogant, then carefully counted the gold notes. "Fifteen thousand eight hundred soul gold coins? In that case, let's get one black box, five purple, and eight white ones," Ye Xuan said without much interest.
Fourteen treasure chests were lined up, which looked rather impressive. Dugu Bo could clearly sense Ye Xuan's dismissive attitude. He was a titled Douluo. Even if he went to Wuhun City or met Emperor Xue Ye, he would be treated with courtesy. It would be the same anywhere except in this strange store.
Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Dugu Bo directly opened a white treasure chest. Inside, he found a box filled with copper soul coins. He then opened the second white treasure chest and found another box of copper soul coins. Upon opening the third white treasure chest, he discovered a wave of soul power inside and a white soul ring floating there. The corners of Dugu Bo's mouth twisted. Seeing the white soul rings, he felt disappointed.
He didn't expect that all the items he obtained would be of this type. "Is this the content of the chests you brought out? Tell me, what are these things?" Dugu Bo said coldly, containing his anger.
"What were you expecting to find? A hundred-thousand-year soul ring, a soul bone, a soul guide, an immortal elixir, or something that would make you a god in one go? These white treasure chests each contain a hundred soul gold coins. Do you think something like that can be obtained for a few soul gold coins? In your current situation, you should at least open a red treasure chest to have any hope. A golden treasure chest is the minimum requirement. Open it quickly and leave as soon as possible. Hurry up and raise money," Ye Xuan said angrily.
"You bastard, boy, I've tolerated you for a long time. Today, I'll teach you a lesson and make you understand what it means to be a titled Douluo," Dugu Bo couldn't bear it any longer and shouted in anger. An overwhelming force surged throughout the store, and Dugu Bo couldn't withstand it. The power of the Titled Douluo was unleashed ruthlessly throughout the shop.
The Prince and his group retreated due to the powerful pressure, relieved to leave the dark store. Ye Xuan glanced at Dugu Bo, who was furious. This was his own territory, and nobody would dare to cause trouble here without consequences.
And what about Qian Daoliu? Even if he became a level one hundred god, he would still be within Ye Xuan's reach, let alone Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo.
With a loud "bang," Ye Xuan forcefully slammed the table. Dugu Bo felt a powerful force surging in the void and threw him backward. While in the air, he began to spit blood. He fell heavily to the ground, looking defeated like a dog. He attempted to stand up, but he struggled for a long time and couldn't manage it.
Although Prince Xue Beng wanted to help Dugu Bo get up, he was afraid of offending Ye Xuan. Finally, he could see the difference in strength between Dugu Bo and Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan walked slowly to the door of the black shop and looked at Dugu Bo on the ground with a serious expression. "Dugu Bo, this is not the place for you to behave violently. This time, it's been a small punishment but an important warning. If there's a next time, you might lose your life here."
After saying that, he turned and left. Prince Xue Beng quickly got help for Dugu Bo, who was struggling to get back on his feet.
"Mr. Dugu, I'm very sorry. Xiao Wang didn't expect things to take this turn," Dugu Bo apologized.
Dugu Bo waved his hand and looked at the black shop sign with deep fear. As a titled Douluo, he didn't have the ability to resist. He hadn't even seen how Ye Xuan had defeated him. It was evident that this time, saving his life wouldn't be easy.
"I made a mistake this time," Dugu Bo said softly.
After Dugu Bo and the others had withdrawn, Ye Xuan proceeded to open the treasure chests that Dugu Bo hadn't opened one by one. The items for sale were all of low quality, indicating that Dugu Bo's luck hadn't been good. Perhaps his luck had improved since he met Tang San.
However, the next time Dugu Bo returned, he might have the opportunity to obtain the Ice and Fire Eye.
"It's amazing. A titled Douluo had no chance to defend himself. Truly astounding," Qian Daoliu commented with a smile.
Ye Xuan pointed at the bloodstains on the floor and said sternly, "What are you waiting for? Clean this up immediately. Do you expect me to do it?"
Qian Daoliu's smile faded, but he had to attend to the cleaning.
"Boy, wait for me. When I get out, you'll see what awaits you," he muttered to himself.
While Qian Daoliu was squatting down, diligently cleaning the blood from the floor, he looked up unintentionally and saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the dark shop. The surprise on his face didn't go unnoticed.
The person at the entrance was his granddaughter, Qian Renxue, now the Crown Princess of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Qinghe. Xue Qinghe felt like everything was an illusion, and the whole world was in chaos.
She had also heard that her grandfather was trapped in this black shop, but she never imagined that he would have to work as a servant here. At that moment, she felt an intense desire to avenge her grandfather and kill Ye Xuan.
With just a glance, Xue Qinghe turned around and left without any intention of entering the shop.
Finally, on the third day, early in the morning, an elderly man entered the dim shop. Despite having gray hair, his height and imposing energy gave him a strong presence.
"Master, I've brought money," the elderly man announced.
Qian Daoliu, who had been enjoying his breakfast of one hundred thousand soul gold coins, was surprised to see the newcomer. Then, an ironic smile formed on his face.
The visitor was the Second Priest of the Elder's Hall, a level 98 Douluo at the pinnacle of the power system. He was known as Golden Crocodile and held the title of Golden Crocodile Douluo. Despite having been in seclusion throughout the year, he was taken aback by the situation this time.
