Shangguan Haotian and the others were startled. A fatal strike, such terrifying means.
He dared not get angry, and quickly explained, "No! Your Excellency misunderstands. This prince wishes to thank you for helping kill the Golden Thread Demon Lizard. However, this Golden Thread Demon Lizard is of great use to my fiancée. I am willing to pay a high price to buy it. Please grant me this favor."
"That's more like it."
Su Luo intentionally toyed with them, saying, "It's fine to sell it to you. It saves me the trouble of taking it back."
Shangguan Haotian quickly smiled, "That's great, Your Excellency. Then how much is this demon core selling for?"
"Sold as a package, no single sales."
Su Luo crossed her arms, with an attitude of buy it or get lost. She said, "The Golden Thread Demon Lizard is a sixth-tier demonic beast, with a market price of no less than three million spirit coins. Since you are the Fourth Prince of Yun Cang Kingdom, I will charge you five million!"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Haotian nearly exploded but suppressed his anger and dared not lash out. "Your Excellency said the market price is only three million spirit coins, why are you selling it to this prince for five million?"
Su Luo glanced at him, "You are a prince, of course, I cannot sell it to you at the ordinary person's price. Otherwise, wouldn't that insult your noble status?"
Shangguan Haotian was so angry he almost cursed. He was a prince, not a fool!
"Fourth Prince~! What should we do?"
Su Feiyan was anxious. She tugged at Shangguan Haotian's sleeve, her face pleading.
Shangguan Haotian gritted his teeth and said, "How about this prince offers two million spirit coins, just for the demon core? All other materials from this Golden Thread Demon Lizard can be yours?"
"I said no single sales, are you deaf? If you don't have money, then stop talking nonsense."
Su Luo's eyes turned cold. She stepped forward, put the Golden Thread Demon Lizard into her storage ring, and prepared to leave.
"Wait, Your Excellency!"
Su Feiyan was truly desperate. She pleaded bitterly, "To be honest, this demon core is crucial for my breakthrough to a sixth-tier Xuan Master. I beg you to grant me this, sell it to me..."
Her eyes turned red, and she pretended to kneel.
Su Luo watched her act without a word. Su Feiyan was stunned. She had only started to kneel when she had to force herself to complete the motion, tears of grievance flowing.
Seeing Su Feiyan's tearful appearance, the disciples of various aristocratic families, even though they knew she was the Fourth Prince's woman, wanted to help her.
"Second Miss, please don't cry. This young master is willing to help you. I'll offer fifty thousand spirit coins!"
"I'll help Second Miss too. This young master will offer eighty thousand spirit coins!"
Seeing them scrambling, Shangguan Haotian felt as if he had been slapped several times. He had lost all face.
He suddenly shouted, "Enough! The intentions of everyone are appreciated by this prince and Feiyan. This prince is not short of this little money. Five million it is, this prince will buy it."
Shangguan Haotian took out all the spirit coins he had, and even his valuables. It took him a while to barely gather enough, which he put into a storage bag and handed over.
Su Luo checked it and was satisfied when it was confirmed to be correct, "Money and goods exchanged, this Golden Thread Demon Lizard is all yours."
Shangguan Haotian took the demon core, and finally, a smile appeared on his face. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency. May I know your esteemed name? Why not leave with this prince and visit my mansion for a short while, giving this prince an opportunity to host you?"
This woman's martial skills were extraordinary. If she could be recruited under his command, she would definitely be a powerful asset.
Su Luo said faintly, "Fourth Prince, do you really want to host me?"
As she spoke, she reached out and removed her mask.
When that clear and exceptionally beautiful face appeared, Su Feiyan was so shocked that her eyeballs nearly fell out. She blurted out, "Su Luo, it's actually you!?"
Didn't she disfigure Su Luo and throw her into the Canglan River?
Not only was she not dead, but she still possessed that enviable peerless beauty... It was truly hateful!
Her gaze turned cold, and Su Luo looked at her coldly, "Su Feiyan, you truly are my good sister! Three months ago, you tricked me into visiting the Canglan River, but then you pushed me into the river to feed the demon fish. If I hadn't been lucky, I would have already died by your hand."
Everyone was greatly shocked to hear this.
Didn't Miss Su fall into the river herself?
It was actually the Second Miss who harmed her!
"Eldest Sister, how can you slander me like this?" Su Feiyan only then reacted. They had all been played by Su Luo.
Shangguan Haotian was even more enraged. He could no longer hold back. "Su Luo, how dare you, to actually play tricks on this prince and extort five million spirit coins from me. Do you wish to die..."
*Slap!*
A slap landed on Shangguan Haotian's face, catching him off guard. His face burned with pain.
Su Luo sneered, "Shangguan Haotian, you are foolish yourself, yet you blame this young lady for extorting you? Thanks to you, the past Su Luo died in the Canglan River. The current Su Luo is here to claim your lives."
A sword appeared in her hand, and she swiftly thrust it towards Shangguan Haotian.
Divine Eye Mirror, activate!
Instantly, a silver mirror appeared in Su Luo's mind.
On the mirror's surface appeared Shangguan Haotian's figure, with lines of descriptive text below.
Shangguan Haotian: Fourth Prince of Yun Cang Kingdom, 21 years old, seventh-tier Fire Attribute Xuan Master. Learned techniques: 'Thunderfire Sword' Triple Layer, 'Wind Cloud Thirteen Swords' Triple Layer. Flaws: Unstable lower stance, mixed Yang energy, superficial techniques...
This was the function of the Divine Eye Mirror.
It could display the target's current condition, including hidden details invisible to the naked eye. As long as the target's cultivation or strength did not exceed hers by three major realms, they could not escape the detection of the Divine Eye Mirror.
Shangguan Haotian drew his sword to parry, but Su Luo had already identified his weakness. With a flick of her finger, a wisp of spiritual light shot towards his knee, as fast as a phantom.
Shangguan Haotian instantly fell face first, crashing heavily onto the ground.
