Douluo: Steadily Becoming Stronger in Shrek

Chapter 18: Xu Jiujiu's invitation

Hearing the voice, Lin Chen stopped and became nervous again. He was in the wilderness and didn't know who he would meet, so he naturally had to be on guard.

There were five people in total, all with their faces covered. The leader was a woman with long golden hair.

The five people on the other side came in front of Lin Chen, and the woman in the lead said, "Did the evil soul master just die at your hands?"

"Yes, what do you want to do?"

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Xu Jiujiu, and I am the sister of the emperor of the Xingluo Empire. On behalf of the people of the Xingluo Empire, I would like to thank you for getting rid of this evil for the people."

"It turns out to be Princess Jiujiu. I am so sorry. I just happened to pass by. He wanted to kill me, so I had no choice but to kill him. I cannot bear this kindness." Lin Chen said lightly.

"May I know your name, little brother?" Xu Jiujiu asked.

"My name is Lin Chen. I'm from Shrek Academy." After thinking about it, Lin Chen decided to reveal his identity to Xu Jiujiu. With the identity of Shrek, even if the other party wanted to touch him, he would have to consider whether he could challenge Shrek.

It can be said that Shrek is a golden ticket to immunity from death among the original three Douluo empires.

“So you are a top student of Shrek Academy. I am so sorry for your disrespect.” Xu Jiujiu bowed slightly to show his respect.

"Lin doesn't deserve it."

"Brother Lin Chen, are you going back to Shrek?"

Lin Chen nodded and said, "I was on my way and passed by here, and then I killed the evil soul master."

"This place is not far from Xingluo City. Why don't you come to our Xingluo Palace and get some supplies? This way you can return to Shrek Academy faster. If you need anything, Xingluo will definitely satisfy you." Xu Jiujiu invited Lin Chen.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

Xu Jiujiu smiled sweetly and said, "You are too polite, little brother Lin Chen. You have made such a contribution to my Xingluo Empire, so my Xingluo Empire will naturally not treat you unfairly. Uncle Huang, let's go back." The latter sentence was said to a man in black next to him.

Uncle Huang? Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu?

Lin Chen had a guess in his mind, but the thought only flashed through his mind.

He went to Xingluo City this time just for the Soul Gold. That thing was not only good for him, but also helpful for Qian Renxue's soul recovery.

Alas! I have unknowingly seized another opportunity to win!
Xu Jiujiu took out a flying soul guide and handed it to Lin Chen. With the help of the soul guide, several people quickly arrived at Xingluo City and landed directly in the palace.

"Ninth sister, are you back?" A steady voice came.

'This is the Xing Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei. ' Lin Chen thought.

"Yes, my Royal Brother. This time I also brought back a top student from Shrek. This mission also benefited from him."

Hearing this, Xu Jiawei also glanced at Lin Chen and said with a smile: "Top student of Shrek Academy, welcome to Xingluo City."

"Your Majesty, you're welcome."

Xu Jiawei ordered his servants to prepare a banquet, not caring that it was dark at this time. He and Xu Jiujiu pulled Lin Chen to sit aside and started chatting.

It was more like a side conversation about Shrek rather than a chat.

The relationship between people is so simple. If you are valuable, others will greet you with a smile and show respect. If you have no value, others will just kick you away like a ball. Maybe Lin Chen’s friends in Shrek will not be like this now, but as the leader of a country, Xu Jiawei’s way of doing things is definitely like this.

Lin Chen also briefly answered some questions, mostly evading them.
Not to mention that he doesn't know the secrets of Shrek, even if he does, he won't tell.

After a hearty meal, Xu Jiawei said, "Little brother, you have contributed to my empire, so I should naturally repay you."

After saying that, Xu Jiawei waved his hand, and a dazzling array of items were placed on the table. "Little brother, if there is any treasure you like, it will be my thank-you gift to you on behalf of the people of Xingluo Empire."

Lin Chen didn't act pretentiously. He took a look and picked out a level 6 defensive soul guide.

Dog’s life is the most important!
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will not refuse. But I still have something to ask of you."

"Oh? Just go ahead, little brother."

"It's like this. 'I have a friend', who is a soul guide, and he wants to ask if there are any carving knives for sale here. I am willing to pay double the price for them."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Xu Jiawei also showed a thoughtful look on his face. After a moment, he said: "To be honest, little brother, we do have a carving knife in the Starlight Auction House, but..."

"Just what?" Lin Chen pretended to be confused.

"It's just that this carving knife is the notorious Soul Devouring Carving Knife. We are worried that we won't be able to sell it, so we plan to auction it off at the upcoming auction. How about it, little brother?"

Lin Chen was also a movie star. After pretending to think for a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, please take me to see it."

Xu Jiawei led Lin Chen to the backstage of the Xingguang Auction House and instructed the staff, "Show me the carving knife that is going to be auctioned at the auction house."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The staff did not dare to delay and hurried down to bring up the Soul-Devouring Knife.

Lin Chen took the Soul-Devouring Knife and looked down. The dark knife was emitting a bloody light and was full of sharpness.

"That's it!" Lin Chen was overjoyed, but he didn't show it.

Because the show isn't over yet.

On the surface, Lin Chen continued to look at the Soul-Devouring Knife carefully, making a sad expression from time to time.

Seeing Lin Chen like this, Princess Jiujiu said, "I think little brother Lin Chen has also seen the difference of this carving knife. Its legend is definitely not a rumor. Every owner of this carving knife has died tragically."

After a long silence, Lin Chen seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, I'll buy it!"

Seeing Lin Chen like this, Xu Jiawei said: "Little brother Lin Chen, you don't have to do this. Since you want it, then this carving knife will be given to you."

"Your Majesty, I have already taken a level 6 soul guide from you. If Your Majesty gave me this carving knife, I really wouldn't dare to accept it." Lin Chen continued to show off his acting skills.

If this wasn't a fantasy world, Lin Chen felt that he could become a top actor.

"Okay, brother Emperor, how about we sell it to Brother Lin Chen at the starting price?" Xu Jiujiu suggested.

Xu Jiawei nodded.

After swiping away another 100,000 cold gold soul coins from Zhou Mingxing's card, the Soul-Devouring Knife, oh no, the Gold of Life, successfully entered Lin Chen's arms.

"Your Majesty, Princess, I will take my leave now."

Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu nodded and watched Lin Chen leave. This kind of treatment is probably only available to people from Shrek Academy.

"I made a fortune after this trip!" Lin Chen shouted happily.

Although I experienced life and death, I not only got a cheat, but also got the gold of life. It’s worth it!

After stopping at a cave and making sure the place was safe, Lin Chen slowly took out the gold of life.
