138. Rewarding the Emperor's new clothes, what? You can't see them? [First update]_1

"Gulp."

Emperor Xueye's swallowing was exceptionally clear in the silent scene.

Bi Ji sneaked a look at him.

Although she didn't understand the rules of The Big Wheel, the pointer landing on the white wasn't likely to be a good thing, considering there were colors like black, red, and gold which obviously meant rich rewards…

Trouble!

"Wah wah wah—"

Bi Ji flailed her arms in front of her chest as she scurried down from the stand, swiftly hiding behind Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena: "…"

Emperor Xueye: "…"

Lin Yi: "…"

Emperor Xueye cleared his throat and then forced a smile, saying, "The Emerald Swan graced the drawing for Xueye personally, bestowing a blessing upon him. Even if it is a white-level reward—a golden soul coin—it symbolizes a wish for the Tiandou Empire's wealth to flourish and the economy to grow more and more brilliant."

Bi Ji: ?

Lin Yi: "…"

Standing tall, Emperor Xueye once again performed a gentlemanly gesture towards Bi Ji down below.

Lin Yi seemed to have figured it out; with Emperor Xueye's current admiration for the Emerald Swan, he suspected that even if Bi Ji produced a lump of goose droppings, Emperor Xueye would be convinced of its delightful fragrance.

Lin Yi flicked the white orb of light towards Emperor Xueye, but the unexpected occurred; the light didn't turn into a golden soul coin.

It actually didn't turn into anything at all!

Staring at his empty hands, Emperor Xueye was dumbfounded.

Where was the white reward?

After watching for so long, everyone else's white reward was a golden soul coin!

Lin Yi was also puzzled; he glanced at the System's panel and, to his surprise, it showed that there was indeed a reward!

And the name of the reward was: [The Emperor's New Clothes]

Lin Yi couldn't help but marvel, amazed that there was such a reward!

The System was impressive.

He explained, "The white prize pool mainly contains soul coin rewards, but that doesn't mean all rewards in the white prize pool are soul coins. Your reward… named The Emperor's New Clothes, can only be seen and touched by the spiritually enlightened."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye's eyes widened slightly in disbelief.

Lin Yi suddenly looked at him with a strange expression, "Your clothes have dropped on the floor, didn't you see them?"

Emperor Xueye's eyes widened dramatically.

After hesitating for just a second or two, he quickly crouched down to pick up the "The Emperor's New Clothes," having an epiphany as he said,

"I see it, I see it! This garment has a somewhat light texture, my attention was all on you just now, I almost missed it!"

Why can't I see the clothes…

Bi Ji stood there blankly, staring at Emperor Xueye's empty hands.

Di Tian glanced at Gu Yuena and asked cautiously, "My liege, did you see it..."

Gu Yuena remained silent, her eyes already filled with self-doubt.

Di Tian then continued to Bi Ji, "Did you see it?"

"No, wah wah wah—"

Bi Ji said with a mournful face, "It turns out I'm really just a Silly Goose…"

Di Tian swallowed.

What the hell, if Bi Ji can't see it, then it really does mean that only fools can't see the clothes!

"Hahaha, I can see it, that piece of clothing is indeed quite good-looking," he quickly said, laughing.

On hearing this, Gu Yuena clenched her small, delicate fists and her pretty face turned red.

How infuriating, why can't she see it...

She didn't want to lie, but she didn't want to admit that she couldn't see it either, so she stayed silent.

Emperor Xueye and the others, upon hearing Di Tian's words, smiled and joined in the chorus of praise,

"Yes, yes, that garment is indeed beautiful, it's hard to believe it's just a white-level reward!"

The elders and guest elders from Martial Soul Hall exchanged glances and also started complimenting the clothes.

Apart from a few individuals, the rest of the people at the scene engaged in an enthusiastic discussion about the pattern and style of the garment.

```

My goodness, if Senior Lin Yi saw it and so did many others, then it definitely means there's a set of clothes!

If I admit now that I don't see them, I'll be laughed at, won't I?

Everyone bore the same mindset, each pretending better than the last.

Ning Fengzhi even went on stage, his expression one of solemn respect, as he took Emperor Xueye's clothes, saying he would keep them safe on behalf of His Majesty.

Confronted with the scene before him, Lin Yi merely gave a faint smile.

However, neither Bi Bidong, Thousand Waves, Xue Qinghe, Gu Yuena, nor Chenxin Guron showed much of a reaction.

Although their faces each displayed self-doubt, Lin Yi couldn't help but appreciate them.

Bi Ji impressed Lin Yi the most, foolishly admitting that she really was foolish.

Such an innocent Goose Goose must be easy to deceive.

"Alright, proceed with the second attack."

...

After Emperor Xueye's attack ended, he walked down from the platform, and Ning Fengzhi respectfully returned the "emperor's new clothes" back to Emperor Xueye's hands.

"Your Majesty, please keep it safe. Eh, a sleeve fell off!"

Ning Fengzhi made a grabbing motion at the air, placing it above, and then withdrew his hand with a smile.

He came forward with Chen Xin, both greeting Lin Yi with a respectful bow.

"Senior, it's Ning's turn to attack."

"Please proceed."

Ning Fengzhi took a few steps back, and a Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, sparkling with flowing light, spanned and floated midair.

"The Seven Treasures are renowned, the first being strength!"

A red light flew towards Chen Xin, encircling his body.

"Third soul skill! Flowing Water!"

The sword was drawn, a hint of crimson suddenly appeared, and the Seven Kills Sword extended its blade, which Chen Xin wielded in the air to create several sword blossoms.

Accompanied by a sharp cry of the sword, the sword energy instantly became fierce, and red sword filaments stretched out in midair, slicing the air with flowing water-like lines, swiftly passing over Lin Yi's body!

"Clang! Clang!"

The attack might have been completed, but the sword hadn't returned to its sheath just yet.

Chen Xin furrowed his brows as he looked towards Lin Yi, the Damage Rebound indeed came as expected.

This attack had undoubtedly reached the Red Level of harm, the Damage Rebound from Red Level being significantly higher than from Black Level.

Chen Xin held his sword with both hands, crossing two slashes to dissipate the attack.

"I forgot my damage has increased; I should have used the same attack pattern as last time. The data this time has probably ramped up quite a bit."

As the sword returned to the sheath, Chen Xin couldn't help but mutter to himself.

His hands were trembling slightly due to the damage rebound just then.

"It's no big deal, Uncle Jian."

Ning Fengzhi said with a smile as he walked towards Lin Yi.

[Health Loss: 264357]

[Remaining Health: 899966893764]

[Damage Level: Red (Novice)]

[Random Reward: Myriad Realms Protagonist Roulette*1]

[System Reward: Myriad Realms Protagonist Roulette*3]

With each new roulette reward appearance, there lay an innocent Thousand Waves caught in the crossfire.

Lin Yi couldn't help but smile inwardly.

He glanced at the system notes.

He then turned to Ning Fengzhi and said, "Damage 264357, Red Junior Level, your reward is the Myriad Realms Protagonist Roulette."

Thousand Waves: "..."

It's another new variety of roulette, but regardless of its quality, it has nothing to do with him, Thousand Waves.

It seems he will never have a fate with The Big Wheel in this lifetime.

"Ning doesn't know, what is this Myriad Realms Protagonist Roulette?"

According to the system notes, Lin Yi said, "As everyone knows, Soul Land is just one of the many worlds within this vast universe, and in each of the other worlds, there exists a Son of the Plane."

"This Myriad Realms Protagonist Roulette lets you draw the Son of the Plane from that world, to become your servant, to listen and serve at your command."
