209: Chapter 209 The Ninth Princess

Imperial Star.

Lofty palaces stood atop the clouds.

Amidst the swirling mists, the majesty and mystery of the royal family were fully displayed.

Inside the palace, it was silent, with only the soft sound of a breeze brushing against the window lattices.

Qu Yanran stood in the hall, her expression tinged with hesitation as she looked at the figure standing by the window ahead and asked softly, "Princess, do you really want to let Lin Yun exchange for those resources at will?"

By the window, the Ninth Princess stood with her back to her.

A luxurious palace gown trailed on the floor, as if she were one with heaven and earth.

Just from her back, she possessed an otherworldly aura.

Even with a stunning beauty like Qu Yanran standing beside her, she was instantly eclipsed, as if starlight were obscured by the bright moon.

The Ninth Princess did not turn around, her voice like a clear spring: "Why not?"

"But these resources are..."

Qu Yanran still wanted to persuade her; after all, those resources...

Even the princes and princesses of the Imperial Star needed to rely on merit to exchange for them.

There had never been a precedent where an outsider could choose them at will.

Before she could finish, the Ninth Princess gently interrupted her. Her voice remained calm, yet it held a deeper meaning: "Yanran, when treating a Genius like Lin Yun, we must show some sincerity, mustn't we?"

Qu Yanran opened her mouth, but finally said in a low voice, "But he doesn't even know it is you helping him..."

The Ninth Princess slowly raised her sleeve, her gaze fixed on the sea of clouds outside the window, her tone carrying a hint of understanding: "Once he comes to the Imperial Star, will he still not know who has been helping him in the shadows?"

Upon hearing this, Qu Yanran instantly understood the Ninth Princess's intentions. She said no more and nodded gently: "Very well, this subordinate will go make arrangements to ensure Lin Yun can successfully exchange for all the resources he needs."

After speaking, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Come to think of it, Lin Yun's speed of progress is truly astonishing."

"How long has it been, and he has already achieved a Breakthrough from the second rank to the First-Grade False Core Realm."

"With such talent, I fear it is almost comparable to you, Princess, back in the day."

The Ninth Princess's back paused slightly, and her tone carried a faint smile: "Yanran, back then, I did not master the Golden Core secret technique so quickly, nor did I have such a Heaven-Defying speed to Cultivate."

Qu Yanran was stunned.

Was the Princess... admitting she was inferior?

...

Inside the master bedroom of the Lin Family Manor.

Su Yingxue slowly woke up as a slight movement came from beside her.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and turned her head to see Lin Yun leaning against the headboard, his gaze fixed on the Communicator in his hand, his expression focused.

"Husband~"

Su Yingxue turned over, groggily hugging him, her warm body pressing against his: "You woke up so early. What are you looking at? You are so engrossed."

Lin Yun lowered his head and kissed her: "Nothing much, I just spent several hundred billion to exchange for some Cultivate resources from the Imperial Star royal family's resource vault."

"Several hundred billion?"

Su Yingxue instantly woke up, leaned over to his side, looked at the Communicator screen, and asked curiously.

"Is it for practicing the Nine-Grade Golden Core Art?"

"Yes, that's right."

Lin Yun nodded, his tone carrying a hint of emotion.

"I didn't expect that practicing this secret technique would require so many precious resources."

"It's fortunate that we are not short on money now; otherwise, even if we knew what was needed, we could only watch, unable to afford it at all."

He had not yet used the two drops of martial dao golden core liquid rewarded by the System.

He was afraid that if his cultivation improved too quickly, it would be too eye-catching and bring unnecessary trouble.

After all, he had only just achieved a Breakthrough to the First-Grade False Core; if he used the Golden Core liquid to directly improve his Golden Core grade, becoming third grade in just a few days? That would be too terrifying.

Therefore, he had specifically exchanged for a large amount of Cultivate resources from the Imperial Star royal family.

On one hand, it was to deceive others, providing a cover so that people would think his progress was all achieved through these resources.

On the other hand, these resources could indeed assist him in practicing the Nine-Grade Golden Core Art.

Once the Golden Core liquid was used, these resources would still need to be bought eventually.

Since they had to be bought sooner or later, it was better to buy them now.

Just then.

The Communicator suddenly popped up a friend request.

The sender was a stranger, but the profile picture was a stunningly beautiful face with an ethereal aura.

It was none other than Zhao Muyi, one of the Twin Prides of the Zhao Family.

Su Yingxue recognized the profile picture at a glance and instantly became excited. She hurriedly nudged Lin Yun, her tone urgent: "Husband, add her! Add her! It's Zhao Muyi!"

Lin Yun was a bit puzzled: "Zhao Muyi? Why would she add me as a friend?"

"Never mind why, just add her first!"

Su Yingxue was full of anticipation.

"Zhao Muyi and her sister are so beautiful and excellent, and they are twins."

"I was just worrying about how to get in touch with them; I didn't expect her to take the initiative to add you as a friend. This is great!"

As she spoke, she was secretly calculating.

Her husband had a special Physique; the more excellent sisters there were, the more it would help her husband Cultivate, and it could also make the Lin Family even stronger.

Zhao Muyi and her sister had outstanding talent; if they could also be brought into the fold, that would be for the best.

Lin Yun looked at Su Yingxue's excited expression and of course knew what she was thinking: "You..."

But he still clicked accept.
