Chapter 4: Bought Home by the Princess
"It's me! What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
As that clear, cold voice rang out, everyone's eyes turned to it, and they saw a tall, beautiful woman slowly walking over.
She wore a long white dress, the hem of which fluttered in the wind like a blooming white lotus; her long red hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall.
Her expression was cold and aloof, emanating an aura of power, and her eyes revealed a chilling aura.
Beside her stood an elderly man in a suit, looking very respectful.
Upon seeing this person, Zhang Lingyun's face showed unease. He lowered his head and asked, "What brings Miss Song here? May I ask what brings you here?"
This person is none other than Princess Song Wanning of the royal family, who has awakened the SS-level martial soul, Ice Soul Devouring Dragon.
The power of this martial spirit lies in its ability to utilize both ice elements and illusion techniques, enabling it to deliver both physical and mental attacks.
Song Wanning possesses such a powerful martial spirit, coupled with her own outstanding talent and hard work, making her stand out among her peers.
Her strength and status have made her the center of attention, earning her the respect and fear of many.
The arrival of Song Wanning at this moment caused tension among those present. They all knew that this royal princess was of noble status and had a cold, unapproachable personality.
Now that she has come in person, she must have something important to attend to. People began to speculate: what could have prompted Song Wanning to come here personally?
Has something significant happened or is there something that requires her personal attention?
As the young master of the Zhang family, Zhang Lingyun seemed somewhat apprehensive about Song Wanning's identity and talent.
He was well aware of Song Wanning's status and power and dared not offend her easily. Therefore, when he saw Song Wanning, he immediately showed a respectful attitude and inquired about her purpose.
However, Song Wanning's expression was indifferent, and she seemed unwilling to easily reveal her purpose.
She simply stood there quietly, radiating an invisible pressure that was irresistible.
The entire scene fell silent, with everyone's eyes focused on Song Wanning, awaiting her next move.
Song Wanning, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, seemingly observing everything around her.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and everyone felt the tension.
Song Wanning's eyes were cold and indifferent, as icy and ruthless as an ice sculpture. Her gaze swept over Zhang Lingyun as if he were an insignificant object.
Her lips parted slightly, her voice clear and melodious, yet carrying an irresistible air of authority: "I'm here, of course, for a reason. I've taken a liking to this girl, and I want her!"
Zhang Lingyun's face instantly turned gloomy. He stared wide-eyed at Song Wanning in disbelief.
He never expected that someone would interfere at this crucial moment.
However, he dared not easily refute Song Wanning's request. After all, he was merely a disciple of a family, while she was the most talented princess in the royal family.
Zhang Lingyun suppressed his dissatisfaction, forced a smile, and said cautiously, "Since Miss Song wants it, then I'll give it to Miss Song." After saying that, he tactfully stepped aside and said no more.
Song Wanning nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with Zhang Lingyun's performance. Then, she turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "How much for this girl?"
The shopkeeper swallowed nervously, his body trembling uncontrollably. He knew the princess's status and position well, and was terrified of saying the wrong thing and offending her. He stammered, "The total is 500,000 dragon gold coins."
Song Wanning nodded slightly, indicating her approval of the price. Then, she turned her gaze to the elderly man beside her, seemingly waiting for something.
The old man understood immediately, nodded, and then raised his right hand. A flash of light appeared, and a card appeared in his hand.
"There are 500,000 dragon gold coins in here. There's no password. You can take it," Song Wanning said calmly.
Seeing this, the shop owner dared not delay and hurriedly reached out to take the bank card. He carefully held the card, as if he were holding an extremely precious gem.
Song Wanning glanced at Ye Chuxue, who was still lying on the ground, her brows furrowing slightly, revealing a hint of concern.
Then, she turned to the old man beside her and asked softly, "Grandpa Lin, could you use your skills to heal her wounds?"
Lin Xuan nodded without hesitation and said, "It's my pleasure, Miss."
It turns out that Lin Xuan is Song Wanning's personal butler, and possesses a martial spirit called Healing Vine. This martial spirit has miraculous healing abilities and can quickly heal wounds.
As a faint green light emanated from Lin Xuan's body, a vibrant aura spread out. The green light danced gracefully like a light sprite, slowly drifting down onto Ye Chuxue's body.
Ye Chuxue's body trembled slightly, and then a bright green light emanated from it.
The light was like a gentle spring breeze, softly brushing against her back and knees.
In the blink of an eye, those gruesome wounds miraculously disappeared without a trace, replaced by smooth, silky skin.
Lin Xuan skillfully took out a soft blanket and gently covered Ye Chuxue's body.
Then, he carefully picked up Ye Chuxue and wrapped her petite body tightly in a blanket.
After doing all this, Lin Xuan held Ye Chuxue and stood quietly to the side, waiting for the next instructions.
Song Wanning nodded in satisfaction. After confirming that Lin Xuan had completed the task, she turned around and left with Lin Xuan and Ye Chuxue.
Their figures gradually disappeared into the distance, leaving the boss alone, staring blankly in the direction they had gone, his heart filled with doubt and confusion.
Zhang Lingyun clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with resentment and regret. He had thought he was close to success, but fate had suddenly taken a turn for the worse.
“Let’s go back,” Zhang Lingyun said with a gloomy expression.
"Young Master, wouldn't you like to take a stroll around here?" the bodyguard asked curiously.
"No, the targets have all disappeared. Now I'll go back to cultivate and strive for good results in the selection competition."
In this world, after everyone awakens their martial soul, they will participate in an important selection tournament.
This conference is held nationwide, and everyone has the opportunity to participate and earn points. The higher the points, the higher the individual's ranking.
For each awakened one, this is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate their strength and prove themselves.
After awakening their martial soul, everyone has a three-month rest period. This period becomes a crucial time for many people to widen the gap between themselves and others.
Especially for those from wealthy families, their families will spare no expense to provide them with all kinds of precious resources and materials to help them cultivate better.
These resources and materials can enhance their strength and make them more competitive.
Zhang Lingyun was well aware of the importance of this opportunity, and he was determined to make full use of these three months to improve his skills and prepare for the upcoming selection conference.
