Chapter 1943: We’re Rich!
“Waah?” Little Xiaolan was still sucking on a nipple as she turned toward An Lin with befuddlement in her large, bright eyes.
An Lin explained in a gentle voice, “Little Xiaolan, I need you to unleash your power of the Holy Berth in order to open this treasure vault.”
He carried Xu Xiaolan over to the round gate, at the center of which was a Vermilion Bird diagram.
“Place your palm at the center of the Vermilion Bird diagram and release the power of your Holy Berth,” An Lin instructed Xu Xiaolan, who was in his arms.
Mo Hai felt like this was not very realistic. “Sister Xu Xiaolan is only a year old, can she understand what you’re saying?”
“She can already call me An Lin Daddy, so why wouldn’t she be able to understand? She clearly retains all of her memories and can understand what I’m saying. It’s just that she has some trouble speaking,” An Lin explained.
“Hmm…” Little Xiaolan nodded.
Mo Hai believed him, but he was still concerned. “She’s so small, can she use the power of the Holy Berth? It looks like she has trouble walking and always insists on being carried by you.”
“I don’t know about that, but we’ll let her try. The temptation of Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s treasures may create some miracles.” An Lin smiled.
Little Xiaolan looked at An Lin and sucked on her thumb, unsure of what to do next.
“Xiaolan, if you open this gate, you’ll be able to access Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s treasures. Don’t you want those treasures?” An Lin urged.
Slap!
Little Xiaolan slapped a hand right in the center of the Vermilion Bird diagram.
“Waah!” a determined cry erupted.
Crimson energy surged from her soft little hand and into the gate.
The gate instantly lit up.
Boom!
The gate slowly opened.
“Oh! Such mighty and regal power! Long live Great Empress Vermilion Bird!” The golden Vermilion Bird’s feathers stood on end from excitement as it sprawled to the ground.
“She really can use the power of the Holy Berth…” Mo Hai’s eyes widened with incredulity.
He then looked at the little baby in An Lin’s arms, and he was quite perplexed. If Xu Xiaolan was able to even use the power of the Holy Berth, why didn’t she just fly around instead of sitting in An Lin’s arms all the time?
“Little Xiaolan is the best!” An Lin planted a ma.s.sive kiss on her porcelain-like cheek.
Little Xiaolan raised her chin with a triumphant look.
Thus, An Lin carried Xu Xiaolan into the Vermilion Bird treasure vault.
The golden Vermilion Bird stood guard outside.
Mo Hai also entered the treasure vault.
He didn’t want to take anything. He was just curious about what was inside the Vermilion Bird treasure vault.
Mo Hai knew quite a bit about the four hidden tribes. The Azure Dragon Tribe loved to collect treasures and was known as the wealthiest tribe. The Vermilion Bird Tribe preferred to travel everywhere and was quite spendthrift. In any case, there were many powerful beings in the Vermilion Bird Tribe that had acc.u.mulated a lot of debt.
Thus, it was difficult to say whether there would actually be anything valuable in the treasure vault of the Vermilion Bird Tribe.
An Lin was also aware of this, which was why he was quite concerned.
He was afraid that he would open the Vermilion Bird treasure vault only to discover mountains of debt statements… In that case, he would immediately announce Little Xiaolan’s resignation from the role of Great Empress.
However, after walking into the Vermilion Bird treasure vault, both An Lin and Mo Hai discovered that they were wrong.
The dazzling light from treasures almost blinded them.
Extremely rich energy fluctuations struck one with a sense of asphyxiation.
They felt like they were breathing in tyc.o.o.n essence with each and every inhalation.
A series of treasure phenomena surged through the air.
A crimson longsword hung in the air, and a boundless rain of fire fell around it.
An artwork was hung upon the wall, within which was a scene of spectacular scenery that appeared far too realistic to be just a painting.
There were countless spots of light that danced in the air like dragons amid the sound of faint dragon roars. That was the phenomenon triggered by a small pool of water.
Aside from that, there were two pills that had transformed into vicious beasts fighting one another in a corner, creating energy fluctuations no weaker than a clash between Return to Void Stage mighty figures.
They exuded divine pill auras…
Aside from that, there were mountains of vital stones, of which there appeared to be about five hundred thousand in total. The vital energy they collectively emanated were like waves surging through the air. One had to realize that each vital stone was the equivalent of ten thousand spirit stones…
“Wah…” Little Xiaolan’s eyes widened as she stared blankly at the scenes before her eyes.
Divine tool, divine pill, several billion spirit stones…
Her little heart was thumping wildly.
There were more treasures here than she had ever seen in her life!
The treasures within the Vermilion Bird treasure vault had transcended well beyond everyone’s imaginations!
Mo Hai was unable to look away, and he felt like he was about to be suffocated by the aura of the treasures here. “Th… these treasures… Even the lowest-ranked ones appear to be divine rank? That’s insane!”
An Lin nodded with a thoughtful expression. “The former Great Empress Vermilion Bird was a very proud creature, so perhaps she saw that collecting treasures below divine rank was insulting. Can’t you see that she didn’t even collect any spirit stones and only collected vital stones?”
Mo Hai was enlightened. “You have a point there. What astonis.h.i.+ng riches… I thought the Vermilion Bird Tribe was the most poverty-stricken one among the four hidden tribes, but who would have thought that this Vermilion Bird treasure vault would have so much good stuff… Even the most mediocre treasures here would be supreme treasures in the Vermilion Bird Sect!”
An Lin chuckled upon hearing this. “The Vermilion Bird is a G.o.ddess of Creation who has lived for countless years, so it’s no surprise that she has some valuable treasures…”
He turned toward Little Xiaolan as he spoke.
An Lin had already made an azure dress for Little Xiaolan, and she looked very adorable in it.
Little Xiaolan turned toward An Lin as if she had detected his gaze, and she sucked her thumb with an inquisitive expression, as if to ask, “What is it?”
“Um, Little Xiaolan…” An Lin spoke with a gentle voice, “You’re still quite small, so I’ll keep these treasures for you for now, and I’ll give them to you when you grow up.”
Little Xiaolan stiffened upon hearing this, and she stared blankly at An Lin with incredulity as films of tears appeared in her large eyes.
Mo Hai was also astonished.
Was this b*stard bullying a child?
He wanted to call the police!
“Waah…” Little Xiaolan pouted as she protested.
“I knew you would agree! Let’s do it!” An Lin nodded with elation.
Little Xiaolan: “???”
Agree?
What agreement was this?
When did I agree?
However, An Lin had already rushed toward the treasures like a starving wolf to fresh meat.
5.2 billion spirit stones, in the bag!
Eight divine tools, in the bag!
Nine divine pills, in the bag!
Fifteen divine-rank materials, in the bag!
Three treasures with indeterminate uses but with energy fluctuations superior to even divine-rank treasures, in the bag!
An Lin wore a ma.s.sive grin.
He was rich!
