Chapter 1021: Chapter 1020: 102 A Blank Sheet of Paper

Bai Xiuxiu said, “Considering your generous bid, I’ll give you another hint: ‘born and nurtured by nature.’ That’s what I mentioned before.”

Huang Yuanlang frowned slightly, “What does ‘born and nurtured by nature’ mean?”

Bai Xiuxiu said, “That’s the next question. You still owe me an auction item.”

Huang Yuanlang replied, “Beloved sister, feel free to bid as much as you like, but could you please tell me first? I am very curious.”

Bai Xiuxiu said, “Alright, I’ll tell you first. Actually, I don’t even know where I came from. When I awoke, I found myself by the seashore. And then I discovered that I had become part of the Dragon Clan. In my memories, I seemed to be from the Blue Sea Tribe. Only I don’t know why I turned into a dragon. At that time, I was saved by people from the Blue Sea Tribe; the family that rescued me. These people behind me, they’re not actually my followers, but my good friends that I grew up with. Our place was secluded, and as I grew up day by day, I gradually understood the meaning of being part of the Dragon Clan. So, I wanted to come to the big city to see what it’s like. I have no clan, so I have no money. Otherwise, why would I need you to auction for me?”

The story was very simple, but it was crafted by Lan Xuanyu after much thought.

The Dragon-Transformation Period occurred roughly tens of thousands of years ago, and after that period, many creatures that underwent the transformation fell into deep slumber. They slept for varying lengths of time, and during their slumber, their bodies continued their dragon transformation. They awoke one by one, and after awakening, the formidable members of the Dragon Clan gradually took dominant positions.

According to the historical records of the Sky Dragon Planet, after the Dragon-Transformation Period, new dragons sporadically still emerged; these were the ones who had longer periods of slumber during the transformation era.

For the Sky Dragon Clan, for example, the slumber time was generally quite extensive. Generally speaking, the longer the slumber, the more thorough the transformation. Among the eighteen Dragon Knights, the last one to awake did so over two thousand years ago.

Of course, it’s not absolute; there were also those who remained weak even after their transformation, since it also depended on the original species and strength. An insect that went through dragon transformation would never be very powerful.

Therefore, on Sky Dragon Planet, none of the strong dared claim that no more species from the time of dragon transformation would awaken. It was hard to say where they slept; it could be high up in the mountains or deep beneath the seas.@@novelbin@@

Bai Xiuxiu certainly couldn’t explain her identity through family connections, so being from the Wild higher Dragon race was the best cover. Penniless and with a clean slate, she had nothing.

In that case, no matter how you questioned me, I would play dumb. I’ve only just woken up not long ago and haven’t even fully controlled my abilities, but my talent is exceptional. How could you investigate me? One advantage of being from the Wild higher Dragon race is that I would absolutely be a sought-after object for any dragon clan family. Who wouldn’t want to recruit a wild high-ranked dragon capable of taking human form?

Lan Xuanyu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he turned to look at Yuanen Huihui beside him. Yuanen Huihui glanced back at him. They were right behind Huang Yuanlang. Although Huang Yuanlang had a cultivation comparable to a Titled Douluo, they were confident that if everyone acted at the same time, they could either kill him or coerce him on the spot and then escape. If Huang Yuanlang doubted or even questioned Bai Xiuxiu’s identity, they would have no choice but to resort to force.

Before a God level strong could arrive, escaping far away wasn’t impossible. They had the illusionary abilities of the Treasure Hunting Beast.

After hearing Bai Xiuxiu’s words, Huang Yuanlang was startled at first, looking at her in amazement and murmuring, “Are there still wild high-ranked dragons that haven’t woken up? How is that possible? So much time has passed since the Dragon-Transformation Period.”

“Believe it or not,” Bai Xiuxiu said indifferently, continuing to watch the auction and snatching back the bidding device.

“Ah! No, I do believe. I’m just very surprised. No wonder I’ve never seen beloved sister at the Sky Dragon Conference. I really didn’t expect that among our higher Dragon race there would still be a Dragon Crystal like beloved sister that has not yet revived. This is really too unexpected.”

He verbally expressed his surprise, but his face was filled with joy.

Lan Xuanyu carefully observed his spirit and emotional shifts, and at this moment, feeling his fluctuating emotions, a smile inevitably crept onto his face. Their story had succeeded.

Huang Yuanlang was suppressing his own emotions, but they were not murderous; they were filled with an exuberant joy. Without doubt, he truly believed Bai Xiuxiu to be from the Wild Dragon Clan. This also meant, there was a chance to recruit!

Huang Yuanlang rubbed his hands together and said, “Beloved sister, may I ask you something? As a member of the higher Dragon race, have you registered your identity in Sky Dragon City? You should know that all of us from the higher Dragon race receive support from Sky Dragon City.”

“Sky Dragon City support? Do they give money? How much?” Bai Xiuxiu’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Huang Yuanlang.

Seeing how she reacted, Huang Yuanlang was even more delighted; it was easy when she desired something. After all, when did the higher Dragon race ever lack money?

“The support is quite decent, but money is limited. It’s just enough for daily life,” he quickly said.

Bai Xiuxiu responded with an “Oh,” and said, “Fine, since it’s free, I’ll go and register later.”

Huang Yuanlang smiled and said, “There’s no rush for that. If you trust me, you can register with our Imperial family. Fenglong City can almost be said to be my home. I don’t know if you like it here? Anything that Fenglong City has can be yours after you join our family. As for money, to us, it’s just a number.”

“Hmph, I look down on you rich second generations. Isn’t it just having money at home? The money you earn on your own is what really belongs to you. I do like numbers—the more, the better; the bigger, the better,” Bai Xiuxiu retorted.

Huang Yuanlang was not the least bit annoyed and laughed, saying, “Yes, yes, yes, the family indeed has brought me a lot of glory. But I have always been in charge of this auction site, and it still makes a decent amount of money. Whatever you fancy today, beloved sister, feel free to bid.”

He didn’t bring up joining the Imperial family again but gestured to Bai Xiuxiu to bid as she pleased.

Bai Xiuxiu glanced at him and, embodying the silly, pure, and sweet persona to the end, began to bid aimlessly on everything, having a blast. In a short while, she had won a large assortment of items.

Meanwhile, Huang Yuanlang appeared calm and composed, showing he truly didn’t care much about what Bai Xiuxiu was bidding on. To him, these resources were but a drop in the bucket. As Fenglong City was the most significant resource trading city after the Sky Dragon Planet, it undoubtedly had profound foundations. In terms of resources, one Fenglong City could even be equivalent to the Mother Planet of the Douluo Federation; he didn’t care about these trivialities.

Bai Xiuxiu was feigning ignorance, seemingly bidding on whatever looked nice, but in reality, she had stealthily acquired some of the most precious minerals for the Douluo Federation.

The auction was finally drawing to a close, and Yi Cai smiled as she announced, “Coming up next is the last item of the day, and it also serves as the highlight of all the items offered today—the most exquisite. Everyone, please have a look.”

A petite, beautiful girl from the Blue Sea Tribe, who fit the human ideal of beauty, walked onto the stage holding a tray. Yi Cai lifted the cloth covering the tray, and immediately, intense elemental waves of space made the glow over the entire auction stage twist and warp.

On that tray lay ten fist-sized, round, and translucent silver crystals—Space Source Crystals.

Ten Space Source Crystals.

“As everyone knows, Space Source Crystals are abundant in the Sky Domination Clan, but in recent years, the Sky Domination Clan has imposed stricter restrictions on Space Source Crystals, making them nearly impossible to acquire privately. This batch of Space Source Crystals was part of the taxes the Sky Domination Clan paid to the Sky Dragon Planet. They were allocated to us in Fenglong City, and this time, we’ve specially taken them out for the auction as today’s big finale. The starting bid is twenty million Dragon Horse Coins, with each increment being no less than one million Dragon Horse Coins.”
