When four dazzling splendors appeared.
"???"
Ning Rongrong's delicate body shuddered violently, her red lips opened wide, staring intently in the direction of Luo Yu's palm.
Her big, watery eyes were filled with incredulity, her trembling voice full of horror.
"How...how is this possible?"
She swallowed hard, incredulously saying, "Four...soul bones?"
"It must be fake!"
Although Ning Rongrong said this, being from a Great Sect,
she had seen soul bones before, and there was no way she lacked such discernment.
She could instantly tell that the four soul bones in Luo Yu's hand were not only real but also of surprisingly good quality, definitely not ordinary.
The crystal skull shrouded in seven-colored light in particular had firmly captured her gaze, and once her eyes locked onto it, they could hardly tear away, exerting a fatal attraction upon her.
Having searched the entire Seven Treasures Glaze Sect without finding a single soul bone suitable for her, Luo Yu casually took one out, and it just happened to be an extremely rare skull soul bone.
Ning Rongrong stared blankly, unable to suppress the love and excitement in her heart. Ordinary people couldn't truly understand how important a compatible soul bone was for oneself.
She couldn't help but extend her jade hand, tremblingly reaching out for that skull soul bone filled with a strange aura.
"Swish."
Luo Yu flipped his palm, the glow disappeared, and the four soul bones instantly vanished without a trace.
"Hey! Don't put them away yet!!!"
Ning Rongrong was immediately anxious.
She hadn't even had the chance to touch them and feel them properly before the soul bones disappeared, and she felt an instant sense of loss.
Luo Yu laughed and shook his head, "Our Little Princess Ning's family has a vast fortune. I really shouldn't show off."
Upon hearing that, Ning Rongrong's fair cheeks blushed with heat.
She felt like she couldn't hold her face.
She cursed herself inwardly, wondering if her mind had gone bad. Did she really dare to flaunt her wealth with this kind of person?
Four soul bones, that was four entire soul bones!
The most top-tier treasures, not something you can buy with money. She had never heard of any family selling soul bones for cash. Wouldn't that be idiotic?
Maybe exchanging them for treasures of heaven and earth could be somewhat possible, but that was just a possibility.
After all, soul bones can not only help a person increase their combat strength, but when that person dies, they can even be passed down to the next generation. One can see just how precious they are.
Her thoughts were in turmoil, and she suddenly realized a horrifying fact – if a man could casually produce four soul bones, who knew how substantial his real wealth must be.
Ning Rongrong asked herself.
If they sold off the entire Seven Treasures Glaze Sect's assets, they could definitely buy more than four soul bones.
But that's not how you do accounting.
Yes, you have money, but you still have to be able to buy them.
Thinking back to when she proudly told him to take a soul bone and follow her...
This...
Was she handing out charity to a beggar?
With his wealth, would he even look twice at the little thing she promised?
Ning Rongrong suddenly felt unbearably embarrassed.
She had always thought she was the richest Little Princess in the world. Suddenly, Luo Yu's casual move knocked her senseless. Not even her father would be so generous when taking personal action, right?
Too frightening.
She swallowed saliva, her beautiful eyes looking at Luo Yu with complexity, her confidence shaken as she asked softly, "Who...who exactly are you?"
"I'm just someone who came out of a remote forest." Luo Yu replied with a smile.
Ning Rongrong's face burned red again. She hadn't forgotten; those were her own words when she was belittling the man.
But Luo Yu wasn't lying; he really did come out of the Star Dou Forest.
Even after some time passed, Ning Rongrong was still in shock. She played with her hair, puzzled and confused, "How do you have so many soul bones?"
Luo Yu hesitated, "It's not that many. There are just four, after all."
"Four...just four?" Ning Rongrong's lips twitched.
"Big brother! Four, that's four already, and you still think it's not many?"
Luo Yu shook his head, "These soul bones are too young, and I can't even assemble a complete set, so indeed, it's not very interesting."
Ning Rongrong's eyes rolled back, suddenly not wanting to speak anymore.
If she wasn't blind, she had clearly seen a skull soul bone just now that was definitely over fifty thousand years old.
A fifty-thousand-year-old soul bone is already very strong.
Now, you can't find one in the entire Seven Treasures Glaze Sect unless you take one from Sword Grandpa, but wouldn't that cost him his life?
And you, sir, are still complaining about its age? What age would satisfy you, and can you even find it?
If this was just a joke between the two, that would be one thing.
But the most terrifying part was that Ning Rongrong could tell from the man's tone that he was not joking but serious.
She couldn't handle the blow.
Actually, Luo Yu had already been quite restrained. He didn't mention the soul bone he got from Martial Soul Hall, but he had stockpiled some over the years, and the Star Dou Beast God was not kidding around.
Among these four soul bones, two were from Martial Soul Hall, and the other two he had casually taken with him when he left, planning to sell them if he ever needed money.
Seeing Luo Yu sitting on a treasure mountain with an air of nonchalance, Ning Rongrong felt a sense of powerlessness wash over her.
In the face of this man, with her wealth, she experienced a feeling of inferiority like never before in her life.
He was richer than her, yet so low-key.
In contrast to her own flamboyance.
Ning Rongrong felt so embarrassed and awkward that she wished she could curl her toes into the ground, utterly mortified.
"Hey."
Luo Yu waved his hand in front of her, snapping Ning Rongrong back to reality.
It seemed like she had thought of something, as her eyes suddenly lit up.
She quickly leaned in close to Luo Yu, her long eyelashes fluttering.
"That, uh..."
Luo Yu looked at Ning Rongrong warily, feeling that something was off about her expression as if she had become a different person.
Ning Rongrong looked at Luo Yu with a pitiful charm, her voice laced with a hint of coaxing, "Can you give me, no, sell me, that skull soul bone you just took out?!"
Ning Rongrong was now somewhat incoherent.
It was enough to illustrate how much she valued that soul bone because a soul bone that matched her so well was indeed too rare.
Ning Fengzhi had actually been searching for a suitable soul bone for her for many years, but without much success, and the skull soul bone in Luo Yu's hands could enhance one's mental power.
Ning Rongrong felt that if she could get that soul bone, it would definitely give her mental power a great boost.
Not only would her daily cultivation speed increase by more than thirty percent, but her support abilities would also reach a new level.
"Sell it to you?" Luo Yu raised an eyebrow.
"Mhm, mhm."
Ning Rongrong bobbed her head continuously like a pecking chick.
Her eyes, filled with longing, gazed at Luo Yu, as if yearning for alms.
Luo Yu was speechless and rolled his eyes, saying:
"Can you act normal, please? You're the Little Princess of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, you're not short of money."
"It doesn't have to be like this for a soul bone."
Ning Rongrong's voice suddenly rose.
"Who says it doesn't have to be?"
"It does!"
"Um..."
Luo Yu sighed helplessly. Were all women so fickle? Just a moment ago, she was all about throwing money at him to keep him as a kept man, which was not the look she had now.
"Please, dear brother, sell me that soul bone, won't you please~"
Ning Rongrong began to use her charm offensive, which she normally reserved for the Sword Douluo and the Bone Douluo, but now, for the first time, it was directed at an outsider.
Luo Yu, however, was unimpressed, contemptuously plucking Ning Rongrong's little paw and tossing it aside without a hint of nostalgia, concisely uttering two words.
"Not selling."
"Ah, but sell it~" Ning Rongrong continued to be coquettish.
"Give it up." Luo Yu shook his head.
He disdained the soul bone, true, but that was based on his own strength and talent.
It didn't mean he didn't understand the value of the soul bone to others.
The soul bone was named "Spirit Condensing Wisdom Skull," the best quality skull soul bone from Martial Soul Hall. If it wasn't for the Empress favoring her own man on the day of the test, this soul bone would never have been given away.
Seeing Luo Yu remaining unmoved, Ning Rongrong still wasn't ready to give up, persistently speaking in a coaxing tone: "Why don't you just name a price? I'll definitely buy it."
"And the Lun Family will remember your kindness."
Luo Yu wasn't swayed by looks, and he chuckled, "You want me to set a price?"
"Mhm, mhm."
Luo Yu spread his hands: "I've said it before, I don't lack money; and as for your sect, you're the only one I'm interested in."
"Want to buy? No way."
"You become my wife, and it's yours for free..."
Ning Rongrong's little mouth curled up high, "You're just teasing me, you really don't want to sell."
Luo Yu raised an eyebrow, "I'm being very serious, okay?"
"Tsk." Ning Rongrong snorted, with her arms crossed and chin up, "Do you think I, Ning Rongrong, would sell my soul and body for a soul bone?"
"Hmm, you wouldn't."
Luo Yu nodded, then turned and walked away nonchalantly.
"I'm hungry, off to eat."
Ning Rongrong lost her composure in an instant, rushing after him.
"Hey! Don't go just yet!"
"Wait for me, let's talk this out properly..."
