"Merchant's Dilemma: Princely Secrets and a Dark Shop"

Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo laughed. They clearly saw Ye Xuan just take the soul gold coins from the purple gold treasure chest, collect them himself, and then lift the empty chest. But now, he pointed at the empty chest and asked them to buy it. This seemed to insult their intelligence.

"Shopkeeper, I heard that you had a cleaning servant here a few days ago. I wonder where that person is now," Ju Douluo asked.

Ye Xuan looked them up and down. One was feminine, and the other was mysterious. Both had the title of Douluo. If they read some books about the Douluo Continent, they would know such a powerful combination. Who are these two guys?

Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo from the Wuhun Palace.

I really don't know what those guys from the Wuhun Palace are doing here all day; I really can't stand it.

"Do you want to buy something? Buy a treasure chest. The black one costs only 10,000 soul gold coins, and the red one costs only 100,000 soul gold coins," Ye Xuan said with a smile.

Ju Douluo snorted coldly, and the powerful aura of his body appeared in an instant.

"Are some empty boxes trying to scam us out of our money? Answer our questions honestly. Otherwise, be careful with your life," Ju Douluo said coldly.

"If you two don't want to buy anything, go back. I'm open to the public, not for you to ask questions," Ye Xuan said unceremoniously.

In this dark store, Ye Xuan really isn't afraid of anyone, so naturally, he won't give face to these guys.

"You're looking for death," Ghost Douluo said coldly.

A cold aura went straight towards Ye Xuan, but before it reached Ye Xuan's side, Ye Xuan's body exuded a powerful aura.

There was a "boom," as if a huge thunderous sound exploded in their ears. Even Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who called themselves Douluo, felt their vision darken, and their consciousness became blurry. Then the whole person just felt a burst of soaring into the clouds and riding on the mist.

When they regained their senses, they had already been thrown outside.

"Get out of here quickly; this is not a place for you to go crazy," Ye Xuan said coldly, standing in front of the dark store.

At this moment, Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo still couldn't believe what they saw. The two had the Douluo title and were thrown out like this with no room to defend themselves. If he wanted to kill them, how should he deal with it?

But reality was right in front of them, and the two lost their composure in an instant. Ju Douluo looked at Ye Xuan and wanted to be tougher, to say something harsh before leaving, but in the end, he said nothing. Ye Xuan wasn't proud at all of being able to easily defeat two titled Douluo. After all, all of this was the merit of the dark store and had little to do with him. What he should consider was how to quickly improve his cultivation.

After Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo witnessed Ye Xuan's powerful strength, they left the city of Tiandou without stopping and returned directly to the city of Wuhun to report to their leader, Pope Bibi Dong. Indeed, in less than a day, the soul power levels of Lei Heng and Wan Shan were raised to level 80, and Lordiala's soul power level rose to level 87.

On the surface, the three still appeared to be good friends, but their internal thoughts were unknown to each other. Now, Lei Heng and Wan Shan needed a soul ring, so the three planned to go to the Star Dou Forest to hunt soul beasts and then return to the city of Wuhun to recover.

When the three left, Ye Xuan's life returned to peace. He spent the whole day doing nothing, sitting in the dark store with no one to talk to. Even if one or two guests occasionally came, they would leave cursing after seeing the price of the treasure chest.

Fortunately, now that Ye Xuan has money he can use, he no longer has to worry about filling his stomach. That day, Ye Xuan was about to fall asleep while lying on the table, but the table received a strong pat, followed by a burst of sweet laughter.

Ye Xuan opened his sleepy eyes but saw someone who surprised him—the Princess Xue Ke. Ye Xuan looked back; there was no guard behind her, only Princess Xue Ke and the puppy following her, Xiaoxue.

"You big liar, how can you sleep in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid someone will steal all your stuff?" Xue Ke said with a smile.

Ye Xuan stretched his body and asked somewhat indifferently, "Why do you have the time to come, Your Highness the Princess? Where is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"My brother, the Crown Prince, is preparing for his wedding. He will marry the Crown Princess in a few days, naturally. There's no time to come," Xue Ke said.

At this moment, Ye Xuan immediately became energetic. "Xue Qinghe is getting married?" he quickly asked.

Xue Ke nodded and said, "What's so strange about it? My brother, the prince, is no longer young, so naturally, he wants to have a wife. The concubine princess is the granddaughter of the current Minister of Finance, Sister Bai Xue; she is very beautiful and also a soul master... Soon, I'll have a nephew to play with."

Ye Xuan smiled.

"You still long to have a nephew to play with, but you don't know that the princess will never be pregnant. It was right to think that Qian Renxue was pretending to be Xue Qinghe, and as His Highness the Crown Prince, there were countless people who naturally wanted her to give birth to a prince as soon as possible."

Ye Xuan knew that Xue Qinghe definitely wasn't willing, and Emperor Xue Ye was probably the one forcing the marriage. There's no record of Xue Qinghe's marriage in that book, and there isn't even any information about the Crown Princess's situation. But in this real Douluo Continent, how could Xue Qinghe not get married at her age?

"I guess your prince brother must be very unhappy," said Ye Xuan.

Xue Ke blinked her big eyes and said with a smile, "Yes, my prince brother likes it a lot. Now he is decorating the prince's mansion courtyard, so I have the chance to sneak in. Hahaha, do you really think he's happy? He simply doesn't know what he will do on his wedding night. The prince should ask someone to help him on his wedding night!!" thought Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan's mind suddenly activated, wishing that he could be the replacement. After all, the skill of his hand, with which he had been single for thirty years, was quite impressive.

"I wonder why His Royal Highness came here this time. Could it be that she's rich and wants to open some treasure chests to play? Does she want a purple gold treasure chest? Your Highness Princess, don't you know? I've really been... It's so miserable. I haven't sold anything since you and His Highness the Crown Prince left. I'm about to starve to death now," said Ye Xuan with a sad face, almost shedding a few tears.

"Do you want money?" Xue Ke asked.

"Please, Your Highness, it's not expensive for Your Royal Highness; it only costs 10 million soul gold coins," Ye Xuan said with a smile.

Xue Ke waved her hand, and just when Ye Xuan thought the deal was about to be completed, he saw Xue Ke taking out all her money bags.

"There are only ten soul gold coins and eight soul silver coins. Just give me a treasure chest."
