Chapter 251

252. Chapter 252: Return to the City, Xu Tianran's Ambition

An hour later.

Bai Zhou and Orange returned to Mingdu.

It could have taken half an hour, but for the sake of safe driving, Bai Zhou still slowed down.

"Finally back……" Orange looked at the huge city in the distance, tears filling her eyes.

She swore that she would never get on Bai Zhou's pirate ship again; she was almost eaten……

"A bit hungry, how about we go home and eat something first?" Bai Zhou touched his stomach and suggested.

"No way."

Orange pouted, then reached out to Bai Zhou and said: "Give me the cold iron ore, you go back first, I'll go find the teacher to submit the mission."

Orange naturally guessed Bai Zhou's thoughts; if she went back now, Bai Zhou would definitely be unable to help but do strange things to her.

Of course, she didn't hate Bai Zhou, she just felt that it was too frequent, which wasn't good for Bai Zhou's body……

And this mission was relatively important; she had to report the news of the vein first, lest others get there first.

Especially the Hongchen siblings; they were the descendants of Mingde Hall and might have some means to detect the vein; if this news was submitted by the other party first, then their laboratory wouldn't get a share of the vein.

The Hongchen siblings weren't short of money, but their laboratory was quite short of money.

After all, Soul Tool Masters like them who leaned towards research were the most money-burning; even though Xuan Ziwen was one of the senior consultants of Mingde Hall and had a large amount of funding support every year, the annual research funds were still very tight, and they needed their laboratory to rely on selling various surplus soul tools to fill the accounts……

"Alright, then come back early, I'll wait for you at home~"

Bai Zhou nodded, didn't say anything, took out a small piece of cold iron ore, and handed it to Orange.

"I know……"

Orange gave Bai Zhou a light glare, then put away the ore, but felt beautiful in her heart.

Setting aside the lewdness, Bai Zhou could be said to have reached perfection in all aspects.

Ability, looks, strength, personality, cooking skills, etc., all perfectly matched the image of the 'Prince Charming' in her heart.

With such a man supporting her from behind, maybe one day in the future, even if she broke away from Xu Tianran, Bai Zhou could help her complete her revenge plan.

Thinking of this, Orange felt the burden on her body instantly lighten a lot.

On weekdays, revenge could be said to be her only motivation for effort.

Every night, the events of more than ten years ago would reappear in her mind time and time again, causing her unbearable pain……

And the days spent with Bai Zhou also made her feel inexplicably relaxed.

Especially when sleeping next to Bai Zhou last night, she felt extra warmth and relaxation, and even dreamed of the happy times she spent with her parents when she was a child……

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing Orange in a daze, Bai Zhou subconsciously reached out and poked Orange's soft cheek gently.

"Hmph~ don't worry about it~ anyway, I'm not thinking about you."

Orange swatted away Bai Zhou's hoof, huffed, and turned to leave.

Bai Zhou: ……

……

……

At the same time.

Mingdu, Imperial Palace.

Xu Tianran was in his study, listening to the report of his subordinates.

Since losing half of his body and the ability of a man, Xu Tianran rarely left his bedroom.

Unless it was some special day, he basically stayed in his Crown Prince's Palace. However, even if he didn't go out, he was still very clear about the situation outside.

After all, although he hadn't sat in that position yet, the forces under his command were already very huge, and his intelligence system covered the entire Sun Moon Empire; whatever he wanted to know, his subordinates would report to him.

Apart from some major national affairs, in his spare time, he would also care about some things regarding Orange.

Even if it were some trivial matters, he would listen with great interest.

Especially now that Orange had brought a genius from Shrek Academy.

Although Orange said that the 'intimate' contact with the other party before was just to win over the other party.

But in his heart, he still felt an inexplicable trace of slight unhappiness, so he had been extra concerned and attentive to Orange's affairs these days.

"Your Highness, Miss Orange and that Bai Zhou have already returned; this mission took a total of two days……"

A black-robed man reported respectfully.

This black-robed man was naturally Jin Yuan, who had been enslaved by Bai Zhou.

Besides being responsible for monitoring Orange, he sometimes also worked part-time on some messaging tasks.

News came from Mingde Hall that they seemed to be researching soul tools for stealing and intercepting WeChat communications.

So now many high-level officials no longer used WeChat for some confidential matters.

Jin Yuan would also come back to report once every period of time.

Of course, the information he reported to Xu Tianran now was all first 'modified' by Bai Zhou, and then reported to Xu Tianran through his mouth.

Among them, the most important one was naturally omitting the changes in Orange's attitude and feelings towards Bai Zhou.

"Good, good, good, it seems that Orange and that Bai Zhou are getting along quite well; I hope Orange can bring me good news soon." Sure enough, after hearing Jin Yuan's report, Xu Tianran didn't have any doubts, but instead felt that Orange was very efficient.

According to the current progress, maybe within a month, Orange would be able to pull that Bai Zhou into his camp.

And the talent that Bai Zhou displayed, he had also learned some from Xuan Ziwen's laboratory; it was indeed as Orange said, the talent was amazing, and it had great value for winning over.

In the future, he would definitely be able to become a Level 9 Soul Tool Master, and even have hope of reaching the legendary Level 10 Soul Tool Master realm!

That group of guys from the Holy Spirit Sect were crazy, and he planned to find an opportunity to kill all those guys after he ascended the throne.

So he urgently needed to recruit some of his own people, the stronger the talent, the better, and the stronger the strength, the better.

The only pity was that the other party was still too young now, and needed a long period of development time, and couldn't be used directly……

……

……

Mingdu, Mingyuan No. 1.

Bai Zhou spent half a day finally purifying the Ice Soul Cold Iron ore he obtained.

In the huge furnace, only a pale blue sphere the size of a palm remained at this moment, which was the purified Ice Soul Cold Iron.

Ice Soul Cold Iron didn't mean it was ice, it was just a rare metal very suitable for ice-attribute Soul Tool Masters.

A soul tool built with Ice Soul Cold Iron as the core by an ice-attribute Soul Master would have its activation speed and power increased by at least 2 times! Of course, attributes restrain each other, and Ice Soul Cold Iron could also be used to build soul tool shells.

The shell built with Ice Soul Cold Iron also had top-notch heat dissipation and high-temperature resistance, and was also a material that fire-attribute Soul Tool Masters very much wanted to obtain.

Rare metals were already rare, and rare metals that could amplify a single attribute were even rarer; such a small piece of Ice Soul Cold Iron was worth at least five million Gold Soul Coins! If that Ice Soul Cold Iron vein was fully mined, the benefits obtained would naturally be huge.

"Mmm, Meng Hongchen seems to be ice-attribute, this thing can be used as a small gift to send out to brush up favorability……"

Bai Zhou thought about it, then cut off a small piece of Ice Soul Cold Iron, packed it in a gift box for backup, and would find a good opportunity to send it out to fiercely brush up a wave of favorability.
