The queen stood in front of a vanity table, picked up a jade bottle, opened it, and took a sniff, releasing a delightful fragrance.
"So fragrant!" Everyone was momentarily stunned and turned to look.
Even Wang Teng was surprised and came over to the queen to see what she was holding.
"What kind of perfume is this? Are ancient people using perfumes now? They're quite trendy," Wang Teng curiously asked.
Wan Dong and the others looked at him in disbelief, thinking he was quite ignorant. Wan Dong said, "Don't underestimate the people of ancient times. They had many things that were much better than what we have now."
"Alright, my bad. I guess I'm not well-informed," Wang Teng said nonchalantly. "Do any of you know what fragrance this is?"
The others exchanged puzzled glances and shook their heads.
"Looks like you guys don't know either," Wang Teng said with a touch of disdain.
Wan Dong and the others suddenly felt a bit embarrassed but also a little defiant.
This knowledge was quite niche. Who would know what perfume this was?
"Wang Teng, it seems to be the famous Blood Orchid Fragrance of the Naga Race!" said Round Ball suddenly.
"Blood Orchid Fragrance!" Wang Teng was very surprised and asked, "How famous is it?"
"It's extremely famous. Let me put it this way, all the female warriors in the universe take pride in owning a bottle of Blood Orchid Fragrance. Those who can use this perfume are almost always individuals with a certain status. Just applying a little on your body can enhance your charm," explained Round Ball.

He had never expected that a casually placed bottle of perfume on the vanity table had such a remarkable origin.
"It must be very precious. It is said that the material used to make Blood Orchid Fragrance is a rare flower called Heavenly Fragrant Blood Orchid, which only the Naga Race knows how to cultivate. It's extremely rare and challenging to grow, so the quantity of Blood Orchid Fragrance is naturally limited. With so many female warriors in the universe, the fight to get it is intense," Round Ball explained.
Wang Teng's eyes lit up as he stared at the jade bottle in the queen's hand.
The queen looked at him with an expressionless face, then sealed the bottle with its stopper and silently put it away.
Wang Teng's mouth twitched. He had offered them to choose anything earlier so he couldn't take back his words.
Damn it!
He wished he had chosen something for himself earlier.
This Blood Orchid Fragrance could make for a perfect gift!
The Naga Race was nearly extinct, so this perfume was undoubtedly a collector's item and even more precious.
Suddenly, he realized something and immediately opened the cabinet beneath the vanity table to check if there were any more bottles.
Unfortunately, it seemed that there were none. The cabinet was filled with various women's items.
Dong Lei noticed his expression and couldn't help but ask, "Wang Teng, is that perfume very valuable?"
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})"No, not at all. It just smells good," Wang Teng replied.
"Really?" Dong Lei looked at him skeptically.
"Of course, why would I lie to you? I'm a grown man. Would I deceive you over a little perfume?" Wang Teng declared with conviction.
Dong Lei started to believe him. Maybe it just smells good?
Wang Teng hurriedly made his way to another palace. This was the residence of the royal Naga family so there should be more than one palace where the females resided, right?
No matter the species, royal families would surely have access to more beautiful women.
However, just as he exited the door, the sound of footsteps approached once more.
Tap, tap, tap…
As they got closer, Wang Teng had no choice but to retreat back into the palace and wait for them to pass.
"Are those armored corpses on patrol?" Wan Dong asked.
"Yes, they're on patrol. They're still patrolling even after death. That's some dedication," Wang Teng said with an admiring expression.
Wan Dong and the others were at a loss for words.
What do you mean by dedicated?
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})They're already dead. There's no dedication left. They're definitely being controlled.
The armored corpses quickly moved away, and Wang Teng rushed to the fourth palace.
Dong Lei, seeing his hurried demeanor, suddenly realized something and quickly followed him.
This guy had definitely lied to her earlier.
Fortunately, the fourth palace was another residence of female Naga, and Wang Teng arrived at the vanity table. After a quick search, he indeed found a bottle of Blood Orchid Fragrance and promptly stashed it away.
Dong Lei arrived a bit later, and upon seeing that he seemed to have hidden something, she looked skeptical. "Wang Teng, you're not interested in women's stuff, are you?"
"Impossible, how could I, a grown man, be interested in women's stuff? Don't accuse me wrongly," Wang Teng said with a straight face.
Dong Lei looked at him skeptically and started searching the vanity table, but unfortunately, she didn't find anything.
Wang Teng looked around but didn't find anything else worth noting. He continued to the next palace.
To his surprise, the next three palaces were also residences of snakewomen, and Wang Teng found two more bottles of Blood Orchid Fragrance.
Three bottles of Blood Orchid Fragrance now lay inside Wang Teng's space ring.
Dong Lei, on the other hand, found nothing and felt quite frustrated. Being a woman, she also appreciated fragrant perfumes, but she didn't get a single bottle.
The queen looked at Wang Teng in silence. She didn't need to think to know that he had changed his mind and secretly hidden those perfumes.
These palaces were all female residences. It was impossible that there were no fragrances.
"Wang Teng, did you hide them? Give me one bottle, just one!" Dong Lei looked at Wang Teng with hopeful eyes.
"No, I would never take that kind of thing. You must have misunderstood," Wang Teng shook his head and, seeming to pity her, added, "You can take any of these women's items. There are plenty of them, and I don't mind."
