'I have already shamed the Imperial Family enough, and looted them to the bone... I can let a father go scot-free, right?'

Ja Sun, in the end, didn't accept the bow. He found himself emotional not! Taking a bow from the Emperor would have irrevocable damages. He was willing to offend for the mission and now that Ja Sun was sure that he had achieved the S-rank in both the objectives, he would give leeways wherever possible.

The fact that this dangerous White Tiger just happened to have Spirit Bones lying around made Ja Sun even more cautious of the man and his prestige.

Hearing Ja Sun's words, Laohu nodded without a thought and returned to the side of the Imperial Family. But he took his family away instantly while a group of guards in dark clothing escorted Taiyin away.

The Tang Siblings, Ning Fengzhi, and Chen Xin were still present. Everyone gazed in Ja Sun's direction as he smiled slightly and walked towards Bibi Dong. His voice was sickeningly sweet like overflowing nectar.

"Teacher, have I made you proud? Will you stop training me so fiercely from now on?" His words made Bibi Dong shudder but her mind, under Qian Xunji's teaching, was more devious than she let others on and she calmly nodded.

"Well done."

Her tone was without a hint of astonishment, as if this was a normal sight.

Unable to finally repress himself, Ning Fengzhi spoke up, "Ka-ul... how?" What else should he ask? The young clan leader was dumbstruck. This was too much. For everyone, in fact.

"How?" Ja Sun smirked but didn't speak more than necessary. Instead, he gave Tang Hao a slight bow, "Tang Hao, I don't think I will be able to discuss about Sister Tang's afflictions. Maybe next time we meet. Here," Ja Sun took out the Deep Silver Tungsten ore and tossed it towards Tang Hao, something he caught promptly.

"Once again, my actions meant as selfish desire to bet my life and earn astonishing rewards. Not offend others. But if you are somehow offended, find me in Spirit Hall."

With that, Ja Sun glanced at Bibi Dong who turned around.

"What was that bit about Yuehua's condition?" Tang Xiao inquired in a hurry while Tang Hao softly relayed that Ja Sun seemed to know something about Yuehua's variation.

"We can't find him. No matter what, he will be pursued by the royal family even if Yue Guan is by his side the entire time," Tang Xiao shook his head with a heavy sigh. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"Well then, the discussion regarding the Competition has already reached its completion. Allow us to depart, Brother Tang," Ning Fengzhi cupped his fist.

"Please, Brother, I cannot accept it. I'm no host. Travel safely," Tang Xiao cupped his fist and bowed towards the duo. With that, the duo acting as the Ambassador of the Heaven Dou Empire also left.

"What should we do now?" Tang Hao inquired.

"We will stay here for four days before returning to the Strength Clan and start training our team better. We may not be able to win the competition... at this moment, we may not even have a chance to win it."

Everyone's expression turned somber.

"He is amazing, isn't he?" Tang Hao shook his head.

"Now we have to solve the political mess you may have created by helping Dai Mu up!" Tang Xiao knocked the top of Hao's head as he scowled.

"I did what I wanted. Nothing wrong with helping a woman up," he glared at Tang Xiao, "If anything happens, Dad can beat me all he wants."

For some reason, Yue Guan didn't follow inside the inn and left under public display after dropping Bibi Dong and Ja Sun. When the duo arrived, it was already evening and their expression turned strange when Hu Lana happily inquired: Did you bring any souvenir from the Palace?

Smilingly, Ja Sun replied, "Of course, converge in my room. I've got a great piece of news and many things to share."

In a few moments, everyone came to his room.

"First," Ja Sun smiled and brought out a beautiful silver necklace with golden veins over its surface and a diamond-like crystal embedded in the middle. For a moment, even Bibi Dong was dazzled.

"Ah Yin, for you," Ja Sun smiled without any shame. Ah Yin blinked. This necklace completely matched her aesthetic. She looked at Ja Sun and then at the necklace before exhaling softly, "I will take it later."

Ja Sun nodded and then he looked at everyone.

"Don't worry, I've brought something special for everyone. In fact, this is something close to the jewels of the Imperial Family."

With that, Ja Sun took out three pairs of silk underwear and handed them to Liu Erlong, Hu Lana, and Xie Xan.

Bibi Dong's lips violently twitched.

"Confused?" Ja Sun smiled sincerely, "These are the underpants of Prince Dai Taiyin. In a way, these articles touched his royal family jewels. Aren't you"

Ja Sun hurriedly dodged all the underwears flying towards his face.

"Teacher, why does Ja Sun have this kind of item?" Xie Xan inquired and Liu Erlong's expression changed.

"He slept with the prince and raided his drawer before leaving!"

'Yoo... the fuck?!' Ja Sun was speechless as Bibi Dong shook her head and explained the situation.

"Spirit Bones?!" Everyone was greatly alarmed. Though greed flickered in their eyes, only Liu Erlong, belonging to a higher clan, understood the situation.

"Not good, they will send men after us. We should return to the Spirit Hall immediately."

"As of today, we cannot return to Spirit Hall until three months to the competition remains," Bibi Dong sighed and shook her head.

"Then..." Xie Xan had an ugly expression. After sharing their deepest and darkest truth, a sense of bond was already formed within the group and now, it displayed its nature.

"Instead of leaving the city," Ja Sun narrowed his gaze, "We auction one of the spirit bones. The weakest one."

Even Bibi Dong wasn't aware of what Spirit Bones Ja Sun had received and when he rejected Yue Guan's question in the carriage, Bibi Dong herself didn't ask. All things considered, the Spirit Bones weren't her own.

"If I could kill you, I would have robbed you... but as things stand, even I have a spirit bone to auction," Liu Erlong sighed.

Gazes focused on the two of them as Ja Sun gave an understanding smile.

"Erlong, it is tough being rich, right?"

"A little," she nodded with a sad expression.

Taking a deep breath, Ja Sun stated calmly.

"I know what is going on in everybody's mind and I will clear your doubts. Yes, I have spirit bones that can be helpful to certain members of the group. In a situation where you gain a spirit bone that is useful to me, I will trade these spirit bones. If you're thinking that I will give them away, then you're wrong."

Smilingly, he met everyone's gaze one at a time, "And since I trust you all, I understand that within a few past moments, all of you must have thought of sniffing my life if it wasn't for our... well, we are friends. Erlong was more open about her thoughts, simply.

"No, I don't," Ah Yin smiled softly while touching the necklace.

Leaning forward, her subtle and calming scent made Ja Sun gulp as she gently pecked his left cheek. Her soft lips leaving an unforgettable sensation on his cheek.

"Practice well. I will, too. Next time, we will rob another imperial family together."

With that, Ah Yin hurried out of the room as Ja Sun groaned and slumped back on the bed.

So close!

But...

Opening the tiny booklet that explained the process and method of nurturing Man-Weapon Body Forged Items, Ja Sun sighed.

'At least, he made up for it.'

After three more hours of silent reading, Ja Sun entered the bathroom, and the mission status displayed after a few minutes. Since the mission was related to the Imperial Family, then the rewards will be related to them, too.

Ja Sun's nerves finally eased once he directly checked the ranks of the mission. Both of them S.

[Objective: Gain as many individual benefits from the White Tiger Clan as possible.

Optional Objectives:

1) Make the Imperial Family feel as humiliated as possible.

Mission Rank: S-S

Mission Rewards: 80000-year-old Hell White Tiger Left Arm Bone80000-year-old Hell Black Tiger Right Arm Bone

Time Limit: 9 hours.]

Ja Sun's body was suddenly rooted by an unbridled pressure and without even looking, he instantly stored the two arm bones extending into claws. His back was layered with cold sweat and he silently sat over the toilet seat.

"Woah..."

He finally muttered after a few minutes.

His gains exceeded his wildest expectations.

Ordinarily, he wouldn't even lust after spirit bones, but even if for a moment, he felt an intense urge from his body to absorb the two spirit bones. His martial soul was after all a Three-eyed Silver Lion. A spirit bone belonging from the same type of bestial chart would be nourishing to one's soul and body.

But, this also meant that the Star Luo Empire had this pair of arm spirit bones.

Still, there was also confusion in his heart.

Hell White Tiger and Hell Black Tiger are actually the forms of Spirit Fusion of members with compatibility and martial souls: White Tiger and Hell Civet.

Could it be that there were beasts like these back then and their spirit bones are the inheritance of the Imperial Family?

'But I won't be able to absorb them within the city. Their aura and spirit pressure is too great.'

Ja Sun was clear about this in his heart. But it didn't matter too much at the moment.

After Qian Daoliu had revealed that he would give them three days of a headstart, Ja Sun had instantly made the mind to escape.

There is a thin line between courage and foolhardiness and he was afraid that he had already crossed it.

He was also unaffected that the help from Qian Daoliu's side came with a price. He was already giving any relevant information and imparting inheritance knowledge to Ja Sun and Ah Yin. This was already way more than he had expected. After all, he wasn't aware how much the Man-Weapon Body Forged items can be nurtured.

After organizing his thoughts, Ja Sun silently slept. He had expended too much mental energy and mental energy's regeneration is at its best while sleeping.

The next day, Ja Sun went to Bibi Dong's room to inform what Qian Daoliu had stated and suggested running away but strangely, Bibi Dong said to wait another day.

The moment he came out of the room, he ran into Xie Xan who was holding a plate of breakfast and a long scratch running down his neck.

"I'm... hungry," Xie Xan explained.

"For Lana, maybe," Ja Sun retorted as Xie Xan's expression twisted.

"What about you? We all can see what's going on between Ah Yin and you!"

"Really?" Ja Sun replied with a pleased look, "Next time you see Ah Yin, do me a favor and explain it to her. I've tried and tried," he shook his head while passing him.

"Poor you," Xie Xan snickered.

"Yeah, at least, I'm not brutalized every night... the thought of it scares me," Ja Sun clicked his tongue.

"You? Scared? More like burning with envy. If you feel the urge of going through pain, just call this brother."

He patted his chest as Ja Sun glanced at him with a sneer.

"Isn't the food getting cold? Sister Lana hates cold treats the most."

Xie Xan's expression paled and he hurriedly turned before going towards his room.

Meanwhile, Ja Sun knocked on Ah Yin's door and Liu Erlong happened to open it. Though surprised, Ja Sun at least felt fortunate that he didn't try to make any sneaky move. Liu Erlong really turns into a rabid beast once she gets angry. As he entered, he found Ah Yin wearing silver robes with golden lining that completely matched her necklace.

"Good morning," She smiled slightly.

"Hey," Ja Sun mumbled while Liu Erlong closed the door.

"We were discussing about going to the auction house. Teacher said that we will leave tomorrow early in the morning. Even if we don't have anything to sell, we can purchase things, right?"

Liu Erlong revealed a token that belonged to Bibi Dong, "Teacher gave this to me. It can be used as the pass for Star Luo Auction House."

"Oh," Ja Sun's eyes glittered. He had too many things to sell. In fact, many of the A-ranked weapons he got by defeating Xie Xan could be sold for a high price to a collector. Meanwhile, the pelts of various foxes from Hu Lana should be quite valuable. He had also spent his morning organizing his loot. Many things from the guards and Prince, including his used underwear, were useless to him. But he wouldn't destroy them. Who knows he might get some strange curse ability that can blue ball others but using it on someone's underwear?

But at the same time, while he was willing to treasure Bibi Dong's and Ah Yin's underpants, he did not want to return the favor for the Prince so he wanted to try and sell them. See that if there is a market for Prince's underwear.

This also left him distressed. He couldn't loot Dai Mu on time.
