"Welcome back, Childe Chen … Welcome back, Childe Chen … Welcome back, Childe Chen … Welcome back, Childe Chen …"
When Chen Xiaobei returned, a hundred thousand people cheered in unison to welcome him.
Everyone welcomed the hero's return from the bottom of their hearts. Their aura was as majestic as a tsunami, and the atmosphere was reverent.
It took Chen Xiaobei a long time to calm the 100,000 people down.
After that, the army set off for Neptune's capital city.
Once these 100,000 people returned to the capital city, the story of Chen Xiaobei saving the merpeople would spread like wildfire in the capital city, and even the entire Neptune Starfield.
Childe Chen's name would forever be engraved in the hearts of all the merpeople.
The entire merpeople would revere Chen Xiaobei as if he was a god.
…
"Childe Chen, what are your plans after this?" Ao Chun 'er took off her armor and swam around Chen Xiaobei like a love-struck fool.
"Silly girl, Zhufeng is going back to Saint Duke, of course!" Ao Liancheng said. "Tomorrow is the deadline for the first round of Saint Duke's Princess Puti's betrothal contest. If you don't return, you'll be forfeiting!"
"Childe Chen! Is that true? "Ao Chun 'er's brows furrowed, her voice tinged with jealousy.
Chen Xiaobei nodded. "It's true. I have to rush back, and I have to travel through the night!"
"So it's true …"
Ao Chun 'er looked crestfallen. When she noticed that everyone around her was looking at her strangely, she quickly changed her words. "I … I mean … Childe Chen, you're so powerful. Why would you covet …"
Ao Chun 'er hesitated.
"Covet what? Princess Puti's beauty? Or the position of Saint Duke's son-in-law? "Chen Xiaobei smiled." I have a reason why I have to go! But that's also my secret! "
"You sure have a lot of secrets …" Ao Chun 'er pursed her lips, her voice tinged with jealousy.
"Chun 'er, you can leave now. Time is of the essence. I have something to discuss with Childe Chen alone!"
The holy emperor swam over, accompanied by all the Wangyes and Princes.
"Yes …" Ao Chun 'er nodded sensibly and left obediently.
"What is it, Your Majesty?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"Have you used up the 100 million Spiritual Stones I gave you?" The holy emperor asked.
"It's all used up …"
Chen Xiaobei nodded. "50 million Spiritual Stones to repair the formation on the altar, 30 million Spiritual Stones to power the three Two-star Earth-God Instruments, and the remaining 20 million Spiritual Stones to activate the sealing formation! What? Does His Majesty also lack Spirit Stones? "
"No, no, no …" The holy emperor quickly explained. "I'm asking this question because I'm afraid that Childe Chen is going to lose the Spiritual Stones. After all, we're the ones who asked for your help. We can't let you lose out, can we?"
Chen shrugged and smiled without saying a word.
He did not pay for the Spiritual Stones, but Chen Xiaobei ate the Ginseng Fruit and lost 300 years of his life. Other than that, he also lost a piece of dog biscuit that he used for his experiment.
Chen would definitely be at a disadvantage if he thought about it.
"Alright! Since the Spirit Stones are just right, let's not talk about it! "
Sea God's Holy Emperor paused for a moment before continuing, "Next, please allow me to represent the Sea God Tribe and offer our sincerest thanks!"
Upon hearing that, all the Wangyes and princes cupped their fists and bowed to Chen.
Chen was taken aback. Why did they make such a big fuss out of it? Could it be that their gift of thanks is heaven-defying?
"Childe Chen, please accept our gift!"
Sea God's Holy Emperor extended both his hands.
In his left hand was an Ambergris the size of a water tank, and in his right hand was a combat saber with a green dragon coiled around it.
"What … What is the meaning of this …" Chen Xiaobei could not wrap his head around it.
"This is a million-year-old Ambergris!"
The holy emperor looked to his left. "This is the only piece of Ambergris left in the entire Neptune Starfield! I'm afraid you won't be able to find a second piece of it outside of the Earth-God Realm! "
Chen Xiaobei's eyes lit up with joy and surprise.
He had thought that he had lost out on this mission. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that the holy emperor would take out the only million-year-old Ambergris left in the Earth-God Realm as a gift!
This was simply a huge sum of money!
The holy emperor then looked at the combat saber on his right. "This is the Green Dragon Sea Overturning Saber. It's the last Two-star Earth-God Instrument of the Neptunes. Please accept it, Childe Chen!"
"Two … Two stars …" Chen was stunned. He gulped.
Not long ago, Chen Xiaobei had personally experienced the power of three Two-star Earth-God Instruments.
Each one of them required tens of millions of Spiritual Stones to activate!
The huge consumption of Spiritual Stones also brought about huge lethality! That terrifying attack could definitely kill an Earth-God with early phase Primordial Spirit cultivation!
Chen Xiaobei's brain short-circuited. What was supposed to be a small loss had turned into a huge profit! That was awesome, wasn't it?
Of course! But Chen Xiaobei did not lose his composure!
After some thought, Chen Xiaobei took the million-year-old Ambergris but did not take the Green Dragon Sea Overturning Saber.
"Childe Chen? There's no need to stand on ceremony! "
The holy emperor said. "You have pulled me back from the brink of death, and you have also pulled the Neptunes back from the brink of death. You deserve these two gifts! Please accept the Green Dragon Sea Overturning Saber! "
"No! I'm not being polite! "
Chen shrugged and said, "Everything that I have done for you is definitely worth these two gifts! I'm not accepting the Green Dragon Sea Overturning Saber because I don't want this gift! "
"What??? Don't … Don't want it??? "
The holy emperor was not the only one who was stunned. All the Wangyes and Princes were stunned as well.
A Two-star Earth-God Instrument was the most powerful weapon in the Nine Zones. Even in the Earth-God Realm, it was a rare item.
It was impossible for an ordinary cultivator to obtain a Two-star Earth-God Instrument.
Even an early-phase Primordial Spirit cultivation Earth-God would find it extremely difficult to obtain a Two-star Earth-God Instrument.
But Chen Xiaobei had just said that he did not want it!
This act of acting tough was almost to the heavens!
"Right! I don't want it! "
Chen Xiaobei said confidently. "First of all, a Two-star Earth-God Instrument is too valuable. Even if I'm alive, I might not be able to use it! If an Earth-God tries to snatch it from me, my life will be in danger!
Secondly, the other three Two-star Earth-God Instruments are needed to suppress the Demonic Beasts! If I take the Green Dragon Sea Overturning Saber, I'm afraid that many people in the Nine Zones will want to invade Neptune Starfield! When that happens, you won't be able to protect yourselves! "
As soon as he said that, everyone could not help but nod repeatedly.
Chen Xiaobei continued. "Lastly, I don't want the Green Dragon Sea Overturning Saber. I just want a promise from the entire Neptunes!"
