152: Are you rich?
As the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor spoke, his gaze intently sized up the two people before him.
In terms of appearance, honestly, both Lin Qing and Lin Gezhu were far more beautiful than any woman the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor had ever seen.
Among them, Lin Qing, in particular, possessed a fresh and ethereal aura and a graceful figure.
Wearing a white dress, she was like a Fairy who had fallen to the mortal realm.
Although Lin Gezhu had a carefree demeanor, it highlighted a different kind of heroic and spirited beauty.
This was something the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor had not anticipated.
With just a fleeting glance in the crowd today, he had been completely captivated by Lin Qing.
He had originally thought they were just passing acquaintances with no further interaction.
Strolling around idly in the evening, he unexpectedly encountered Lin Qing again.
Moreover, this time he also noticed Lin Gezhu, who was also a beauty that could be called peerless.
It made the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor couldn't help but exclaim that this was truly a blessing from heaven.
He was actually bestowed with two peerless beauties at once.
If they were brought into his harem, he wondered how happy he would be.
Just thinking about it made him feel excited.
At this moment, Lin Qing clearly also felt the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor's gaze sweeping over her.
A wave of disgust immediately rose in her heart.
Especially his words, the epitome of a hypocrite.
He was clearly a lecher who lusted after beautiful women, yet he pretended to be a gentleman, which was disgusting.
However, due to her good upbringing, Lin Qing did not flare up.
"I'm sorry, I don't believe in fate or destiny."
Saying this, she linked arms with Lin Gezhu: "Gezhu Jie, let's go."
"Hey, hey, hey!" The Eastern Sky Battle Emperor was slightly taken aback by this scene.
He quickly called out to stop the two of them.
To be honest, he hadn't expected the plot to develop like this.
After revealing his identity, Lin Qing and Lin Gezhu were the first people to ever refuse him.
At the same time, this also piqued his interest even more.
"Two ladies, don't be so heartless."
Saying this, he looked at the vendor: "How much are this hairpin and jade bracelet?"
"Uh... one hundred Spirit Energy coins each, this is a small business for me," the vendor immediately replied.
The Eastern Sky Battle Emperor smiled casually and threw out a Spirit Stone: "Keep the change."
The vendor's eyes immediately lit up!
A Spirit Stone!
How many pieces of jewelry would he have to sell to earn one Spirit Stone?
Overjoyed, he quickly wrapped up the hairpin and jade bracelet.
"No need to give them to me, just give them to these two ladies," the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor said with a smile.
Displaying his elegance.
However...
"We won't accept the Crown Prince's kindness," Lin Gezhu glanced at the jewelry items the small vendor handed over.
"If we want to buy these things, we don't need others to pay for them."
Saying this, Lin Gezhu took out a paper scroll.
She threw it in front of the vendor: "We'll buy these things. Return this 'Crown Prince's' huge sum of one Spirit Stone to him."
The vendor stared at the glittering paper scroll on the table.
His eyes nearly popped out.
"This is... a ticket for one thousand Spirit Stones??"
"That's right, with this, you can exchange it at any money house."
"This, this, this... one thousand Spirit Stones?" The small vendor felt a bit dizzy and lightheaded at this moment.
This was simply wealth he had never seen in his entire life.
"This young lady, these two small items of mine... are not worth this price at all..."
"I feel a bit uneasy with you doing this."
At this moment, it wasn't just the vendor who was stunned; the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor was also like this.
Staring blankly at the ticket for one thousand Spirit Stones, a thousand grass-mud horses galloped through his heart.
What decent person carries thousands of Spirit Stones with them?
Even he himself, the Crown Prince of the Dynasty, with an extremely noble status.
But, he could only get a few Spirit Stones each day.
Some officials with immense power within the Dynasty only had a monthly salary of a few or a dozen Spirit Stones.
Truly, this kind of thing was too valuable.
The Eastern Sky Dynasty also had Spirit Stone veins, but they had to supply the entire Dynasty.
Therefore, one thousand Spirit Stones, coming from the hands of an inconspicuous girl.
It was truly shocking.
Even Lin Qing tugged at Lin Gezhu's sleeve: "Gezhu Jie, weren't you being impulsive?"
"These things are completely not worth that much."
Lin Gezhu seemed indifferent: "I just wanted to annoy this so-called Crown Prince."
"Does he think he's very rich?"
Lin Gezhu's voice was not lowered at all.
It clearly reached the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor's ears, making him stand there awkwardly.
"Furthermore," Lin Gezhu looked at the vendor: "I've taken a liking to your craftsmanship. These one thousand Spirit Stones are to buy you to work only for my Lin Family from now on."
"This way, you can accept it, right?"
The vendor's eyes brightened, and he quickly thanked her: "Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss, I... I'll kowtow to you..."
"Hey, hey, hey, no need for that, take the money and go to the Tianyu Dynasty now."
"Oh right, if you have Family members, bring them along."
"Okay, okay, okay..." The vendor was extremely grateful.
Then he threw the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor's Spirit Stone back to him.
"I'm very sorry, Young Master, your Spirit Stone is returned to you as is."
Looking at the Spirit Stone in his hand, the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor was so embarrassed he wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Accepting it wasn't right, and not accepting it wasn't right either...
The smile on his face had completely frozen, and a hint of anger flickered in his eyes.
"Let's go," Lin Gezhu glanced, then turned around with Lin Qing, preparing to leave.
"Wait!" Just as the two were about to leave, the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor called out to them.
He raised his head. This humiliation was unbearable for him, and he violently crushed the Spirit Stone in his hand.
From birth until now, he had always been pursued and fawned over by others. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
And to be humiliated like this by a young girl.
A gentleman can endure, but this is unendurable!
"What? You want to fight?" Lin Gezhu frowned.
In that instant, her mind raced, and at least over a hundred methods began to appear in her mind.
Although she usually didn't like to cause trouble, and even often hid behind others.
But that was only because they were Family, and Lin Gezhu completely trusted her brothers to handle everything.
Now, only Lin Qing was by her side.
So the person to be protected would naturally become Lin Qing.
Therefore, as the older sister, she would not hesitate in the slightest.
As long as this guy dared to make a move, she had countless ways to deal with it at this moment, and could even turn the tables and kill him.
But just at this moment.
"Isn't Your Excellency being a bit too aggressive?"
A voice came, making Lin Gezhu and Lin Qing happy. The two turned their heads and looked behind them: "Big brother."
"Brother Lin Yan!"
Lin Yan's sudden appearance was somewhat unexpected for the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor.
His gaze met Lin Yan's gaze in mid-air.
He felt a shock in his heart.
This person is not simple!
Such a thought emerged in the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor's mind.
"These two younger sisters of mine have already expressed their attitude. If you still pester them relentlessly, I don't mind exchanging pointers with you."
Lin Yan stared at the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor, his gaze gloomy.
The Eastern Sky Battle Emperor was silent for a moment: "Who are you?"
"Lin Yan of the Lin Family!"
"Will you participate in this grand assembly?" the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor asked again.
"Of course!"
"Very good, I'll remember you, Lin Yan. The grand assembly is imminent, and I don't want any conflicts to affect my performance in the assembly. Therefore, whatever there is, we'll let strength speak in the competition!"
Lin Yan smiled slightly: "I will make you shut up when the time comes."
"I'll be waiting for you!"
After finishing his harsh words, the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor had no need to stay any longer.
He turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
He just didn't know that behind him, three figures were following closely.
...
The Eastern Sky Battle Emperor walked towards his residence feeling very depressed.
Losing so much face today made him extremely frustrated.
"Lin Yan... Hmph, I'll make you pay the price!" He gritted his teeth, his face ferocious.
Tap tap...
As he passed by an alleyway, a clear sound of footsteps came from behind him.
The Eastern Sky Battle Emperor noticed the movement behind him, stopped his steps, and turned to look behind him.
"Who?"
Bang!!
Without saying anything else, a fist the size of a sandbag directly smashed into the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor's face.
The unimaginable pain made him couldn't help but let out a wail.
He staggered back with a black eye on one side, staring in horror at the figure standing before him.
"You... who the hell are you??"
"Attacking me by surprise??"
"You should repent alone for why you provoked someone you shouldn't have," Lin Dong replied coldly.
"Despicable scoundrel, what kind of skill is it to attack me by surprise?" The Eastern Sky Battle Emperor also became angry.
His entire body's Spirit Energy surged, and his Grandmaster strength was just about to erupt.
Duang...
A golden quality alchemic furnace was directly smashed onto the back of the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor's head from above.
It made his vision momentarily black out.
Immediately afterwards, a golden high-grade quality item, the Qiankun Bag, instantly covered the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor.
Lin Fan quickly used the bag to cover the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor's entire body.
"Beat him up!" Lin Fan roared.
"Damn it, you dare to covet my Gezhu Jie?" Lin Xiaobai put away the alchemic furnace, then kicked the Qiankun Bag.
The effect of the golden item activated, amplifying the external damage received by ten times and applying it to the person covered.
Lin Dong and Lin Fan also didn't hesitate at all.
They rushed up and started a frantic beating.
When they got tired of hitting, Lin Fan immediately took out the golden quality weapon he had exchanged for in the Family mall.
The Supreme Murderous Weapon - The Invincible Folding Stool.
Not only could it serve as a seat for rest, but it also possessed extremely high concealment and attack power.
Without any hesitation, Lin Fan, with a ferocious expression, struck the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor's body repeatedly with the folding stool.
The entire scene, apart from the sounds of Lin Fan, Lin Dong, and Lin Xiaobai beating and cursing.
Only the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor's miserable screams remained, long and continuous...
