"And also…"
"That time before I went to the Douluo Continent, when I called you and Na'er answered…"
"I was right here."
Dai Yun'er pointed toward the window as she walked forward, her words pulling her thoughts back to three years ago. Back then, it felt as if her world had collapsed.
But now…
She could hold Luo Chuan's hand whenever she wanted, snuggle into his embrace as she pleased, and receive his hugs whenever she desired. Hmm…
But it wasn't just these things she was thinking about!
"That time…"
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan's thoughts also wandered, instantly recalling the scene from that day. When Na'er answered the phone in front of him, she truly carried herself like the lady of the house.
Though it only lasted for a moment before she reverted to her sweet, adorable self.
"Luo Chuan, look how spacious my place is…"
"How about…"
"You come stay with me tonight."
At this moment, Dai Yun'er seemed to have thought of something, her eyes sparkling as she giggled softly.
This way, she could stick close to Luo Chuan whenever she wanted, for as many days as they stayed on the Star Luo Continent!
But even as she said this, her face grew inexplicably flushed, as if her thoughts had wandered somewhere else.
"Haha, you…"
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan smiled gently, watching the girl's cheeks gradually redden. He pinched her cheek playfully and shook his head with a light laugh.
"Although your father holds me in high regard, if I were to act so recklessly, even he might struggle to handle it."
Tang Luochuan couldn't help but chuckle.
Though he had been rather bold before—even going so far as to have Yun'er drug him three times—he still needed to exercise some restraint in the Star Luo Royal Family.
Mainly because…
He was afraid he might lose control.
"Oh? Alright then…"
Hearing this, Dai Yun'er was momentarily taken aback before nodding thoughtfully, as if taking his words to heart.
But whether she would actually abide by them…
This mischievous little princess couldn't make any promises.
"Yun'er, I'll go check out the accommodations first."
Tang Luochuan looked at the girl before him and spoke gently.
He wondered what kind of place his future father-in-law, the emperor, had prepared for him!
"I'm coming too!"
Hearing this, Dai Yun'er nodded repeatedly, a bright smile on her face as she spoke. She took the hand of the person beside her and walked out of the room, heading toward the palace gates.
However, as soon as they stepped out of the palace, two familiar figures appeared in front of the hall—none other than the master-disciple pair, En Ci and Tong Yu.
"Luo Chuan, I'll take you to His Majesty's treasury now to pick out some items. See if there's anything you can use."
En Ci smiled kindly as he spoke.
The key to the Star Luo Emperor's treasury was held only by the emperor himself and En Ci, the absolutely trusted National Teacher. That was why he had brought Tong Yu along.
"Hmm…"
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan felt a flicker of interest. After all, this was the treasury of an emperor from the Dragon King era—there was no telling what treasures it might hold.
"Yun'er, do you want to come take a look?"
For a moment, he turned to look at the young girl beside him and immediately asked.
He wouldn't ask whether the two Yun'ers before him could go or not—as the eldest princess and the only princess of the Star Luo Royal Family, Yun'er's status was naturally very high.
"Either way is fine."
"But I don't think there's anything particularly interesting inside. After all, nothing could be better than what Luo Chuan has given me."
Upon hearing this, Dai Yun'er smiled gently, her words carrying little enthusiasm. The greatest treasure of her life was already by her side.
"But then again, it wouldn't hurt to take a few things!"
The next moment, as if suddenly struck by a thought, Dai Yun'er's eyes lit up with contemplation, and she cheerfully declared, her gaze shifting to the two powerful figures nearby.
"Grand Teacher, and Senior Tong Yu, Father said earlier that we can take anything we find useful…"
"In that case, Luo Chuan should take as much as he can and make Father pay dearly!"
Dai Yun'er's eyes sparkled as she spoke bluntly.
"…"
En Ci and his disciple Tong Yu exchanged a glance, both finding the situation both amusing and exasperating. While the latter remained relatively composed, the former could hardly conceal his expression.
It seemed the princess's favoritism…
was bound to always lean outward!
"Then let's head to the treasury."
With those words from En Ci, the next moment, he, Tong Yu, and the young couple holding hands vanished in an instant.
"…"
When they reappeared, Tang Luochuan found themselves in a resplendent, golden palace, before which stood a massive, gleaming golden gate.
No matter how one looked at it, behind that door lay wealth and treasures that could rival an entire nation.
Moreover, Tang Luochuan could distinctly sense a powerful aura of Soul Power emanating from the door.
"This treasury was forged during the reign of the Grand Emperor, using the most advanced technology of our Star Luo Empire. Even a Demigod like me would find it nearly impossible to plunder by force."
En Ci wore a meaningful smile as he spoke, recalling his own involvement in reinforcing the treasury's defenses back in the day.
"Hmm…"
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan nodded silently, his mind filled with contemplation. It certainly sounded impressive.
But if an Evil Soul Master coveted the wealth of the Star Luo Royal Family and sought to seize it by force, or even managed to steal a God-level fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shell, this defense would be as flimsy as paper.
Well, even Yun Ming and the ten-thousand-year-old Shrek couldn't withstand a God-slaying bomb. To expect the Star Luo Royal Family to endure such a thing—even as a mere hypothetical—was already pushing the limits of reason.
Unaware of Tang Luochuan's shifting thoughts, En Ci retrieved a small box from his Soul Guidance Device and took out a similarly golden energy key.
This was the key to the Star Luo Treasury.
The next moment, as the key made contact with the door, it swung open abruptly. A brilliant golden light spilled out from within, accompanied by waves of extraordinary aura.
Hmm…
Golden Legend!
"With the key, such a formidable defense can be opened so easily. Xiaoyu, you stand guard outside."
"Luo Chuan, Princess Yun'er, once inside, feel free to ask me about anything you desire. I'll also offer you the best advice…"
En Ci glanced at Tong Yu, and the next moment, he spoke with profound sincerity. However, before he could finish, Tang Luochuan was already being pulled inside by Dai Yun'er.
"Luo Chuan, so many glittering treasures!"
"Even if we might not use them, there's no harm in taking them. Take them all, take everything..."
"Let's pack up everything in the treasure vault."
Dai Yun'er's voice echoed from within. Hearing such words, a faint black line of exasperation appeared on En Ci's forehead.
Your Highness...
Is this what you call "not very interested"?
