Chapter 191 Another Sky Soul Pearl

Chapter 191 Another Celestial Soul Pearl

At this point, Oscar's expression grew even more excited: "The prophecy in the scroll states that when the savior appears, Ice Spirit will show anomalies, turning night into day! The so-called aurora appearing and divine beings descending, which has been passed down for over two hundred years in our country, is mostly regarded as nonsense by most people, but it is truly the original words from the scroll! Moreover... only the appearance of the savior can light up this lamp behind me!"

Old Wang glanced at the oil lamp, then looked at the thoroughly old fraud before him. Honestly, if he hadn't come from Wang Village, where feudal superstitions were never entertained, he might have almost believed it... This story was really well-crafted, making one want to kneel.

"Old man!" Old Wang's mouth opened wide for a long time before he could regain his composure: "Look, I'm just an ordinary disciple of the Holy Sanctuary, with these thin arms and short legs. If you want me to shoulder great responsibilities, I simply can't bear them... Besides, we're all grown-ups; we shouldn't indulge in superstitions..."

Oscar remained kneeling, his face solemn: "Your Highness, this isn't superstition. The gods exist, and serving them is my sole destiny and the reason I've persisted in living until now! My entire life has been spent waiting, and now I've finally waited for you. I can finally face my ancestors without shame!"

"Cough, cough..." You yourself are a living ancestor, yet you talk about ancestors. My great-grandfather might not be as old as you, Old Wang was speechless: "Old man, I completely understand your feelings, but you've really got the wrong person! I'm struggling to take care of myself, burdened with troubles. I can't be your pillar of support; I'm still hoping for one myself."

"Is that so? Then that's wonderful!" Oscar said with a burning gaze: "Rely on me, rely on me as much as you like, no problem!"

This old man was playing by his own rules. Old Wang wasn't stupid. Regardless of whether this old man was genuinely confused or pretending, he couldn't wear such a ridiculous hat. He wasn't a three-year-old child. Being your savior, who knows what you plan to do—boil me or steam me?

Unsolicited kindness is either deceitful or malicious. Since coming here and suffering so many losses, Old Wang had learned his lesson.

He immediately put on a serious face: "You must still be asleep. Alright, alright, I'll leave. You rest well, and I'll visit again when I have the chance."

As Old Wang spoke, he tried to leave, but when he turned around, the 'cable basket' at the cave entrance was gone. The empty cave entrance was chilly, and the cold wind blew against his face. Below, the lights of the Silver Ice Association shone, making the people look like tiny ants...

Is this old man a trickster? Playing the 'removing the ladder' trick?

Old Wang wanted to try sliding down the iron cable, but just one glance made him dizzy. He quickly moved away from the cave entrance, helplessly turning back: "You're forcing me to jump..."

The old man was clearly pleased inside, but his face showed deep sorrow, tears streaming down his cheeks: "I have waited for Your Highness for two hundred years, dedicating my life to this faith and pursuit. Your Highness cannot jump; if anyone should jump, it should be me. After all, my old bones don't have many days left. Failing to persuade Your Highness, dying by falling would be a clean end, though my descendants would suffer, having to clean up my shattered remains..."

Damn... threatening me?

Old Wang rolled his eyes. This guy truly lived up to his name Oscar—what a great actor! If you're so brave, jump and show me!

Of course, he couldn't say that. What if? What if this old man really jumped and died? At over two hundred years old, he'd lived a full life, but what about himself? The people of the Winter Clan would grind his bones to dust if he died.

"Old man!" Old Wang also had a temper. If this old man didn't treat him like a human, why should he speak politely? "Don't be unreasonable! I'm considering your age, but stop this nonsense about being a savior! Just tell me what you want, straight out!"

Oscar, instead of getting angry, was delighted, his spirit lifted. He didn't mind Old Wang's rudeness, only saying: "Your Highness, you are a dragon among men, straightforward and honest. I'll be direct too! The will of heaven is inscrutable. Look, Zhiyu is the first beauty of Ice Spirit Kingdom, only a little older than you. As they say, a woman three years older brings golden bricks. Why don't you marry her? Let me tell you, Ice Spirit women are exceptional..."

He winked and made faces, giving a look that all men understood...

"No! No way!" Old Wang was almost in tears, laughing and crying. He had seen people coerced into marriage, but never someone forced into a free marriage, especially with a princess. What do you gain from this? "Old man, I already have someone I like, really. And I've already told you, Princess Zhiyu doesn't like me at all. I'm just a shield, acting a part!"

Oscar became anxious upon hearing this, his breathing becoming labored as he clutched his chest: "Oh! My heart... I'm dying..."

Old Wang was speechless. This old man was a great actor; his labored breathing sounded genuine. Even if he didn't believe it, he had to respect the performance: "Old man, take it easy. Breathing too fast can cause a heart attack... We can discuss things calmly."

"So you agree?" Oscar immediately stopped panting, looking spirited: "Your Highness..."

"I just said we can discuss it!" Old Wang was helpless. Actually, sacrificing his looks wasn't a big deal, but the problem was Daji. How could someone as dominant as Daji tolerate being a secondary wife?

But seeing the old man's attitude today, he knew he wouldn't leave without giving some answer. He could only placate him for now and look for an opportunity later.

Isn't it just about talking? Who doesn't know how to talk? Everyone here is skilled, so bring it on!

"Discuss! Let's discuss right now!" Oscar said with a broad smile: "Does Your Highness want a dowry? Don't worry, our dowry is very generous. As you know, although Ice Spirit Kingdom is small, it is rich in soul crystals and cold iron ore..."

Damn, this is like hitting a porcelain vase and offering money... It means the other side has bigger plans.

"Old man, love isn't something you can buy." Old Wang's tone softened. Money wasn't the issue; it was mainly about Zhiyu... She was indeed beautiful, intelligent, and well-figured, though not as dominant as Daji, she was definitely above average: "Talking about money is vulgar! Of course, a dowry is an ancient tradition, and respecting traditions isn't wrong..."

Wait! Off track!

Old Wang quickly changed his tone, speaking righteously: "But that has nothing to do with me. I, Wang Feng, regard wealth as dung. These things come and go with life."

Oscar sensed the change in Wang Feng's emotions and smiled helplessly. Well, well, this was originally left by the emperor... Oscar's left hand moved slightly.

The bronze lamp on the wall behind him floated gently into his hand: "What if I add this?"

A broken bronze lamp, even if it was peculiar, who would care?

Old Wang said indifferently: "Old man, you misunderstand! I, Wang Feng, regard wealth as dung. That..."

Sssss...

Oscar ignored what Wang Feng was saying, holding the bronze lamp in his left hand and gently rubbing the base of the spout with his right hand.

Wang Feng's words suddenly halted.

He sensed it—a familiar aura. Could this be... a Celestial Soul Pearl???

Is there an unclaimed Celestial Soul Pearl sealed inside this bronze lamp???
