Chapter 2822: Xiuxiu Luo's Old Flame
Seeing this Scarlet Box at the top of the list, Su Xiao felt an inexplicable malice coming toward him. Opening this thing could obtain a Soul Crystal (Complete), which was a somewhat tempting reward.
Su Xiao had a great demand for Soul Crystals (Complete). In the previous world, he led the Wolf Cavalry Legion and almost killed his way through the Canglong Continent to obtain more than a hundred Soul Crystals (Complete). The rest were obtained from Moon Apostle.
The Soul Crystals obtained in the native world could not be compared with the transactions with the Leader in the Starry Sky Seat, and the Leader might not necessarily have too many Soul Crystals (Complete) left. Having traded twice already, each time for hundreds of Soul Crystals (Complete), the Leader's stock should not be much, as the resources obtained by the other party were all of higher tiers.
Su Xiao flipped down the blood-colored weapon exchange list, and the first blood-colored weapon appeared.
2. Ninth Monarch (Blood-colored weapon)
Category: War Hammer (Shatter characteristic)
Exchange price: 310 Scarlet Medals.
Inventory: 1
3. Calamity (Blood-colored weapon)
Category: Blood-Sucking Sword (Vitality absorption characteristic)
Exchange price: 300 Scarlet Medals.
Inventory: 1
4. Gale Execution (Blood-colored weapon)
Category: Long Dagger (Low-priority execution characteristic; when fighting Qiyuezhe, it is a high-priority execution)
Exchange price: 325 Scarlet Medals.
Inventory: 1
5. Reverberation (Blood-colored weapon)
Category: Special (Penetration, Armor-piercing, Splitting characteristics)
Exchange price: 400 Scarlet Medals.
Inventory: 1
There were dozens of blood-colored weapons. The most expensive was Reverberation, and the cheapest was a small knife that only cost 10 Scarlet Medals.
Among these, there were also long blade weapons, but Su Xiao was not prepared to choose them. Zhan Long Shan could increase the true damage of Blue Steel Shadow energy by 25% and had the execution ability of Magic Blade, plus high sharpness, which was an irreplaceable weapon.
Su Xiao was very interested in the most expensive Reverberation. He had a way to use this special weapon and could multiply its lethality.
He couldn't exchange for Reverberation yet, so Su Xiao simply consumed 5 Scarlet Medals to exchange for a Scarlet Box, just to test the waters.
Lighting a cigarette, with the European Emperor state on him, Su Xiao fully activated the Devour Core and looked around, confirming that a certain female god who liked to observe secretly was not present.
【You have consumed Scarlet Medal x5, you have obtained Scarlet Box x1.】
【You have opened the Scarlet Box.】
【You have obtained Scarlet Medal x10.】
【You have obtained Soul Crystal (Complete) x1.】
With this start, Su Xiao exchanged for another Scarlet Box and opened it.
【You have opened the Scarlet Box.】
【You have obtained Scarlet Medal x1.】
【You have obtained Soul Crystal (Complete) x1.】
The ups and downs of life were very sudden. Fortunately, he earned 1 Scarlet Medal and 2 Soul Crystals (Complete), which was not bad overall. As for whether to continue opening, of course not. He would consider it when he had surplus Scarlet Medals.
Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed meditating, waiting for the second node to appear. Until about five o'clock in the afternoon, the door was pushed open, and a gloomy-faced Xiuxiu Luo walked into the room.
"What's this?"
Seeing Xiuxiu Luo's expression, Baja instinctively thought the other party had encountered an enemy.
"Sigh~, women."
Xiuxiu Luo sat on a wooden chair, his crossed legs resting on the windowsill.
"Rejected by your old flame?"
Baja smiled wickedly. When idle, teasing each other with Xiuxiu Luo was a good pastime. This guy was ruthless when fighting, but had a good sense of humor in daily life.
"Yeah, I wanted to marry her, but someone disagreed."
"Opposed by her younger brother? Or her father?"
"Her husband."
"Damn."
Baja was speechless. Xiuxiu Luo had a dejected expression. Looking closely, one would find that his eye socket was a bit bruised, clearly having been punched. Thinking about it, the strength of his old flame's husband was not weak.
With a *bang*, the door was kicked to pieces, and the masked man walked into the room. Black gauze-like energy twisted and deformed behind him, sometimes forming a ghost head, sometimes forming a skull shape.
"Xiu, xiu, luo."
The masked man was the opposite of his usual self, no longer respectful to Xiuxiu Luo.
"Bas, you're angry. You look much more pleasing to the eye now than your usual hypocritical appearance."
Although Xiuxiu Luo was smiling, his mood was actually very complicated. In fact, he had never done anything with that old flame, nor had he ever thought about doing anything with her.
"Everyone... has a bottom line. Today, you crossed my bottom line."
The masked man, Bas, walked into the room, and the floor under his feet cracked inch by inch.
"Bai Ye, enemy attack. Bai Ye?"
Xiuxiu Luo looked at Su Xiao. Su Xiao was meditating on the bed. He had no great interest in participating in this kind of trivial matter, and besides, there would be no fighting today.
"You, little brat."
The leather clothes on the masked man, Bas, creaked. A moment later, he swung his fist sideways, smashing into the door frame. Including the door frame, half of the wall exploded into dust, finally condensing into a small ball, floating in mid-air.
The masked man, Bas, turned and walked away step by step, leaving a string of deep footprints on the floor along the way. The innkeeper hid at the stairs, trembling.
When passing by the innkeeper, the masked man, Bas, took a stack of Gulang from his bosom and stuffed it into the innkeeper's arms.
"Excuse me."
The masked man, Bas, went down the stairs to the first floor and disappeared into the pedestrians on the street in a short while.
Inside the inn, Xiuxiu Luo leaned on the chair and said:
"You didn't guess wrong. The current Magic Association president, Rogesh, is my father. I haven't seen that old thing for 12 years—no, 13 years. I was also a secret mage. I became a secret mage at 10 and formed a Holy Seal at 13. Other secret mages called me a genius.
I remember, that was when I was 14. At that time, I was still a teenager. One afternoon, I was invited to her home by a female secret mage. I thought she wanted to discuss soul energy development with me, but who would have thought, she let me know the origin of life. At that time, I was still a little brat, hahahaha."
When Xiuxiu Luo said this, his face was full of nostalgia. At that time, he was a teenage genius, his father was the Magic Association president, the castle at home was so big he could get lost, and he had a well-behaved younger sister.
Until that evening when Xiuxiu Luo returned to his castle, in his own laboratory, he saw his younger sister packed into a glass column. The solution inside was light red and shimmering. Xiuxiu Luo remembered this clearly because under the shimmer, his younger sister, who had already lost her life, was very beautiful, her hair floating slowly.
"Go to the restaurant for dinner."
Xiuxiu Luo would never forget this sentence, nor the man standing in front of the glass column, recording something—the man he had always called father.
"Don't be surprised, your sister and you are connected by blood. She has no talent; this is her best destination."
As for the words after that, Xiuxiu Luo didn't remember. After eating dinner, he returned to his bedroom, slept, and escaped the castle at midnight. Afterward, he stole onto a steel giant ship and came to the Western Continent.
Xiuxiu Luo looked at the sunset outside the inn window, a faint smile on his face.
"That man interpreted what a secret mage is, so I don't want to be a secret mage anymore. Damn secret mages, it's best if they all die."
After listening to Xiuxiu Luo's story, Baja immediately detected through the temporary friendly permission, confirming again and again whether Xiuxiu Luo was the Son of the World. ===== CHAPTER 2823 =====
