Chapter 72: Cultivate talents, the royal family sends a princess? The Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame, which had turned into a bracelet, seemed to nod, and then stayed obediently on Xiao Chong's wrist. Seeing this scene, Xiao Chong naturally smiled. Although this was an unexpected situation, Xiao Chong could not be a heartless person, and the request of the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame was not very difficult for him. He is just a Dou Sheng. With my level of comprehension, it probably won’t take too long. After taking back the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame, Xiao Chong also walked out from the sealed place and felt the weather conditions outside. "It seems like it took more than two days just to set up the seal... But let's just take it as a chance to comprehend the following six Heaven Sealing Seals. Maybe there will be a time in the future when I can use this sealing technique." Over the past two days, Wutan City and the Xiao Family seemed to be a little more lively. This was probably because the news about the battlefield of the Izumo Empire had spread almost throughout the northwest continent, and many people came here to visit. But at the same time, Xiao Chong felt a surge of breath coming from the back mountain. It seemed that Xiao Yan had successfully swallowed the strange fire. Then let’s go over there and take a look at the situation.
"Hahahaha, I finally recovered my first strange fire!" As soon as I arrived at the back mountain, the bursts of ecstatic laughter almost made my ears hurt. After opening the space gate in the back mountain, Xiao Chong immediately felt the aura of a nine-star Dou Wang. It seems that because of the technique, Xiao Yan’s strength increased much more than expected after absorbing the strange fire. After walking into the back mountain, Xiao Chong felt a surge of breath. Xiao Yan was now wrapped in the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire. As for Yao Lao, who was still in the state of a soul, he was also looking at Xiao Yan with satisfaction. With so many precious materials here, and Xiao Yan's own affinity with strange fire, the process of absorbing the flame was relatively safe. "Did you make it?" At this time, Xiao Chong walked in from the back mountain, took a look at Xiao Yan's current condition, and nodded. Then he poured a bucket of cold water on the excited Xiao Yan. "So what do you think your current rank is as an alchemist?" Speaking of this, Xiao Yan touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Well, I'm probably only at the second level." "After all, I have only been learning from Yao Lao for half a month. Although I now have the strange fire and my own strength has improved, the time I have spent learning alchemy is still too short." "That's enough. A twelve-year-old second-grade alchemist..." Xiao Chong smiled with satisfaction. Although this news is not as shocking as his own strength, it can at least serve as a deterrent, and it will also be beneficial for recruiting alchemists to the Xiao family in the future. Yao Chen also nodded and said, "That's right, my disciple, your brother is a pure evildoer, don't take him too seriously." "Besides, you have been here for a while. Although this medicinal field is a very nice space, it is time to go out for a walk." "Master is right, Brother Xiao Chong, please open the door."
Xiao Yan nodded at Yao Lao, and then Yao Lao hid inside the ring. Xiao Chong also opened the space door of the medicine field, and they walked out together and returned to the Xiao family. Qinglian, who had just returned to the Xiao family and had been dressed up as a maid by Xiao's mother, ran over and saluted Xiao Chong in a nice and affectionate manner. "Master Xiao Chong, someone outside the Xiao Mansion wants to see you. They said that the batch of rare metals sent to you by the Jia Ma royal family has arrived." "Okay, thank you for your hard work." Xiao Chong walked up and touched Qinglin's little head. Xiao Yan glanced at Qing Lin's appearance, then glanced at Xiao Chong: "Brother, when did you get such a loli-sized maid? You are really a beast." "Also, what did you do when you were out that made someone from the Jiama royal family come to your door and deliver something to you?" Yao Lao looked at Qing Lin with a slightly thoughtful look. "This girl... is a little special... Never mind, since Xiao Chong has brought her back to be a maid, I won't care about her anymore." Anyway, Yao Lao knew that with Xiao Chong's vision and character, he would definitely not treat him unfairly when the time came. After rubbing Qing Lin's head, Xiao Chong went to the Xiao family lobby. Xiao Yan was bored and had nowhere to go, so naturally followed him. In the lobby, in addition to the elders of the Xiao family, there was also a person from the royal family. It was a non-commissioned officer in armor, holding a golden scroll in his hand. On the golden scroll was a storage ring, which looked like an imperial edict. However, in this Douqi Continent, the imperial edict is not as valuable as a Xuan-level fighting skill, so just take a look at it. Soon, after seeing Xiao Chong, the sergeant saluted in a standard manner and began to recite the imperial edict. "Xiao Chong of the Xiao family, the royal family of the Gama Empire thanks you for your contribution in repelling the Izumo Empire at the Yellowstone Fortress." "This ring contains various rare minerals that the Gama Empire and the Miter family have spent a lot of money to collect during this period. Please accept them." "Ah." Xiao Chong nodded indifferently, because he felt that the messenger in front of him might have something else to say. "Besides, given Xiao Chong's outstanding performance in the Yellowstone Fortress, the royal family of our Jiama Empire believes that these material rewards are totally insufficient!" "Therefore, His Majesty, who is in charge of the royal family, believes that in addition to these material rewards, our royal family will give Xiao Yue'er, who is currently the most favored one in the royal family, to Xiao Chong." Hearing this, many people from the Xiao family present were stunned. Xiao Yueer... is the little princess of the royal family who competed with Xiao Yan at the Alchemist Conference of the Jia Ma Empire in the original novel and then became a supporting role. But after all, in the past, the royal family was the master of this land, and their voice and the reputation of the royal family were naturally very important. Therefore, in the minds of many Gama people, they feel that the royal family’s move is clearly a reward, so how can it be considered bad behavior! Look at the elders behind the Xiao family. After hearing this, they didn’t feel wronged at all. Instead, their faces were full of a sense of honor. If it were somewhere else, there would definitely be a lot of people who would sneer at it. What a shitty royal family! It's obvious that they want to use this so-called princess to tie up a young Dou Zun like Xiao Chong. Therefore, the royal family did not dare to say that it was an arranged marriage, but only said that it was given to Xiao Chong.
This royal family is really old-fashioned, playing word games, right? But this actually creates an opportunity for information asymmetry. The royal family of the Gama Empire is also a veteran. "Besides...Princess Xiaoyue is probably only 11 years old now." "The people in the royal family are not human to some extent..." (End of this chapter)
