183. Mystery Gift
Xiao Yan replied nonchalantly, "Uncle Yang has almost filled my storage ring to bursting, what else are you planning to give me?"
Xiao Yan wasn't lying. After the great war in the Northwest Region ended, Yang Yue practically gave Xiao Yan all the good stuff from an entire sect. So even though Xiao Yan kept improving his alchemy skills and constantly consuming the rare treasures in his storage ring, the good stuff in his storage ring didn't seem to decrease at all.
This is still based on the fact that Yang Yue specially prepared a huge storage ring for Xiao Yan, which is several times larger than the high-grade storage ring that Xiao Yan originally snatched from Han Feng. However, the storage ring is still filled with small mountains of rare and precious treasures, bottles and jars.
Not to mention, Xiao Yan always upheld the spirit of thrift, taking Zi Yan to the mountains whenever they had free time, so he really didn't need anything like rare and precious treasures.
Seeing Xiao Yan's dismissive attitude, Yang Lingyan immediately patted his chest and said, "How could something given to Brother Xiao be something perfunctory?"
Yang Lingyan's words left Xiao Yan momentarily puzzled as to what other unique gift Yang Lingyan could possibly give him.
Yang Lingyan had no intention of explaining things to himself, and with an attitude that he would understand once he saw it, he directly called to Xiao Yan, spread out his Dou Qi wings, and flew away.
Xiao Yan was also intrigued by Yang Lingyan's appearance and flew out of Black Mountain Fortress with him.
Both were Dou Huang level experts, so their speed was naturally unmatched by ordinary people. They sped through the air without stopping, and most people could only see a blur of motion across the sky. In less than an hour, they had already crossed two major cities.
Xiao Yan could tell that Yang Lingyan's purpose was unusually clear. He barely communicated with him while he was busy on his way, which made Xiao Yan even more curious.
Finally, after an hour and a half, looking down at the bustling and vast city, Yang Lingyan stopped his journey. This was his destination.
Xiao Yan was naturally familiar with the city that Yang Lingyan brought him to. Lin City could be said to be the second largest city in the Jia Ma Empire after the capital, and it was the hub of half of the Jia Ma Empire.
Yang Lingyan asked Xiao Yan, "Brother Xiao, what did you sense?"
Xiao Yan also surveyed the entire Lin City from the sky and said, "I didn't expect you to make this the center of your relocation mission."
Xiao Yan sensed a significant increase in the number of flying magical beasts above Lin City and a massive influx of people throughout the city. All of this indicated that this was the true core of the relocation plan that had alarmed the entire Jia Ma Empire. Xiao Yan even suspected that the real orders originated from Lin City.
"Brother Xiao, aren't you curious about who's in charge of so many people in our Heavenly Serpent Manor?"
Looking at the orderly flow of people coming and going, Xiao Yan couldn't help but admire the commander's meticulousness. Being able to use so many people so skillfully was definitely an ability. Xiao Yan himself felt that doing this kind of thing would definitely make him flustered.
"You must have brought this talent from the Heavenly Serpent Palace. It's truly remarkable that you've achieved this level of skill!"
Yang Lingyan did not answer Xiao Yan's question. Instead, he led Xiao Yan towards the city center. Along the way, everyone in the Heavenly Serpent Manor paid the highest respect to the two of them. After all, one was an elder of the Heavenly Serpent Manor and the other was the next manor master. However, Xiao Yan felt somewhat helpless when he saw this scene and secretly regretted not sneaking in with Yang Lingyan earlier.
Xiao Yan looked at his final destination, a colossal structure at the end of the road. He recognized the distinctive markings on the top of the building – it was the Mittel Auction House!
Judging by appearance alone, the Mittel Auction House in Lincheng is more than twice the size of the one in Wutan City. However, Xiao Yan was not too surprised, since the Mittel Auction House here was insignificant compared to the Golden Alliance Chamber of Commerce in Tianlan City.
Once Xiao Yan and Yang Lingyan entered, they could see that the Mittel Auction House had become the center of this operation, with all coordination originating from there. Seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but nod in approval. After all, while the Heavenly Serpent Mansion possessed immense power, it lacked familiarity with the situation in the Jia Ma Empire. Relocating millions of ordinary people was definitely not a simple task.
However, by joining forces with the Mittel family as they are now, most of the problems have been solved. Moreover, the Mittel family is the most suitable ally, with trade routes covering the entire empire. Even the royal family wouldn't dare say they could do better in this regard!
With the cooperation of various families who recognized Xiao Yan's power, this massive project was finally able to get started.
Yang Lingyan led Xiao Yan to a room in the center of the Mittel Auction House and said to Xiao Yan mysteriously, "Brother Xiao, this is the big gift I prepared for you!"
Yang Lingyan refused to reveal anything along the way, which even piqued Xiao Yan's curiosity. When he opened the door, the scene inside the room truly surprised Xiao Yan.
The room is clearly a woman's bedroom, with an elegant and sophisticated overall style. The predominantly reddish color scheme reflects the owner's taste. The vibrant color is striking and immediately catches the eye. A delicate peach blossom fragrance, reminiscent of spring water, permeates the room. Although the scent is somewhat strong, it is not unpleasant but rather complements the overall style.
What truly captured Xiao Yan's attention was the figure in the room. The exquisite red and purple palace dress was finely crafted, and Xiao Yan felt that the price of this dress alone was already quite high. Even though it was a custom-made garment, it seemed somewhat unworthy of its current owner.
The garment wasn't too form-fitting, but you could still feel the woman's stunning figure through its graceful curves.
Her charming face, besides being alluring, also possessed a touch of nobility. Her red lips smiled gently, and her long, narrow peach blossom eyes were full of affection. When Xiao Yan met her gaze, he could only feel the deep affection and shyness within them.
She was clearly a stunning beauty; one look at her and you'd know how many men would fall at her feet.
Yet, the deep affection in his eyes was undeniable. How many men could resist such a sight? Most people would probably never see such a beautiful scene in their entire lives.
Looking into those beautiful, fiery eyes that were staring intently at him, Xiao Yan found himself unable to resist their intensity.
