Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 676 - 420: One Hundred Thousand Crystals
Chapter 676: Chapter 420: One Hundred Thousand Crystals
Titanium Cobalt Lan was still in shock when other people on the platform in front of the Yuan Magnetic Palace also noticed Ji Xinghuo and started whispering among themselves.
"Your Majesty, this Deserted Person is no ordinary man."
A woman clad in Dragon Pattern Battle Armor spoke up, her tall figure alluring even beneath the armor that could not conceal her charm. With striking beauty and fiery red hair that danced behind her like flames, she was unforgettable at first sight.
The woman stood next to the Titanium Cobalt Dragon King, a clear indicator of her high status.
Upon hearing her words, everyone involuntarily turned their heads towards her.
However, whether male or female, the look in everyone’s eyes was filled with awe as they dared not show any disrespect towards her.
Titanium Cobalt Lan’s heart skipped a beat.
This was because the woman was Titanium Cobalt Yanluo, a Shepherd Star Saint, a Seventh Rank Dragon Warrior, and one of the top combat forces of the Titanium Cobalt Family, highly reliant on by the Dragon King.
Moreover, Titanium Cobalt Yanluo was closely related by blood to the Dragon King; the two were cousins.
However, within the Yuan Magnetic Territory, there were rumors that Titanium Cobalt Yanluo was the Dragon King’s lover, a topic no one dared verify. But as members of the Titanium Cobalt Family, most of those present believed it to be true.
In public appearances, Titanium Cobalt Yanluo never hid her close relationship with the Dragon King. Everyone dared not ask or speak, preferring to pretend ignorance.
"Oh?"
The Titanium Cobalt Dragon King’s face showed little emotion as he countered, "Just a Deserted Person, what’s so special about him?" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"Are you playing dumb with me, Your Majesty?" Titanium Cobalt Yanluo said with a charming smile.
"Hehe..."
The Titanium Cobalt Dragon King chuckled noncommittally and did not continue the topic.
Titanium Cobalt Yanluo then looked towards Titanium Cobalt Lan, her expression growing colder by a few degrees, half-seriously saying, "Little Lan, how about you transfer this subject to me? Let me cultivate him, and he can add great strength to our family."
When a Shepherd Star Saint requested something like this, especially being her elder, Titanium Cobalt Lan immediately felt tremendous pressure.
But her face showed a coquettish smile, "Great-Aunt, why are you trying to snatch people from me?"
The Titanium Cobalt Family was vast, with many branches.
In terms of seniority, Titanium Cobalt Yanluo and Titanium Cobalt Lan’s grandfather were from the same generation, though their actual blood relation was distant, practically negligible.
If it weren’t for Titanium Cobalt Lan’s exceptional talent, having become a Sixth Rank Dragon Lord and owning a Titanium Cobalt Dragon at such a young age, and being a rising star highly regarded by the Dragon King, calling her "Great-Aunt" would have been an overreach.
If it were another junior, Titanium Cobalt Yanluo wouldn’t even spare them a glance.
"I won’t take your person for nothing." Titanium Cobalt Yanluo’s lips curled up, carrying an undeniable authority, "I’ll give you ten thousand Ether Crystals as compensation."
"This..."
Titanium Cobalt Lan’s face finally showed difficulty.
"What, you’re unwilling?" Titanium Cobalt Yanluo’s expression grew stern, clearly displeased.
"Yanluo." Titanium Cobalt Dragon King suddenly spoke, "Leave this Deserted Person with Little Lan, and don’t snatch her favorites. Whether trained by you or following Little Lan, he will still serve the family just the same."
Titanium Cobalt Yanluo immediately switched to a radiant smile, "Yes, I’ll follow Your Majesty’s orders."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Titanium Cobalt Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone from the Titanium Cobalt Family present was amazed.
A Deserted Person, personally requested by a Shepherd Star Saint, whom Titanium Cobalt Lan was reluctant to give up, and even the Dragon King himself had to intervene.
They all fixed their gazes on Ji Xinghuo, eager to see what was so special about him.
At that moment, trying to regain some face, Titanium Cobalt Yanluo smiled again and suggested, "Little Lan, how about we make a small bet for fun?"
"Great-Aunt, what kind of bet?" Titanium Cobalt Lan was not keen, but having already rejected her once, and fearing twice would disrespect the Shepherd Star Saint too gravely.
"This Deserted Person..." Titanium Cobalt Yanluo looked towards Ji Xinghuo within the Spiritual Illusion Realm, "His name is Ji, right?"
"Yes." Titanium Cobalt Lan nodded.
"I predict Ji’s final ranking will be between fourth to tenth, but he won’t make the top three. If I’m wrong, I’ll give you fifty thousand Ether Crystals, if I’m right, you give me the same," said Titanium Cobalt Yanluo. "So, do you take the bet?"
Such a high stake?
Onlookers from the True Dragon people could tell, although Titanium Cobalt Yanluo had agreed to the Dragon King not to fight over the person, she still harbored some grudges.
Since you’re unwilling to give him up, you have to pay the price.
To a Shepherd Star Saint, fifty thousand Ether Crystals was not much, but for Titanium Cobalt Lan, only a Sixth Rank, it represented a substantial fortune.
What surprised everyone even more was Titanium Cobalt Yanluo’s prediction of Ji’s ranking. That Deserted Person, could he really make the top ten?
Titanium Cobalt Lan hesitated.
If it had been earlier, she definitely would not have taken the bet, but remembering what the Dragon King had just privately told her, believing that Ji Xinghuo could potentially win the Destructive Dragon Festival and become the Terminator,
"Great-Aunt, I’ll take that bet." Titanium Cobalt Lan suddenly said composedly. "However, if Ji takes the first place, what then?"
"The Terminator? Him?"
Staring at Ji Xinghuo who was currently drawing his bow to kill an opponent, her gaze swiftly shifted among various prodigies, she confidently declared, "If he becomes the champion of the Dragon Festival, I’ll give you an additional fifty thousand Ether Crystals."
The True Dragon people of the Titanium Cobalt Family were in an uproar.
A hundred thousand Ether Crystals!
To everyone present, except for the Dragon King and Titanium Cobalt Yanluo, a hundred thousand Ether Crystals was a significant amount.
Titanium Cobalt Lan felt immense pressure.
If Ji Xinghuo fell out of the top three, she would lose fifty thousand Ether Crystals, a financial blow that could cripple her for years, and her covert support for Earth would have to be put on hold for a while.
