NOVEL WEB Chapter 170: Bargaining, Huge Compensation! (Please Follow)
"1, Every year, I'll come to collect some of the destructive material and life material. Don't worry, I won't harm the demon beasts."
"2, Three free massages."
"3, A liter of golden blood delivered to me every day!"
After making these demands, Yunxi felt her ears burning hot with embarrassment. The first two were worth as much as the value of a Secret Realm of the Holy Spirit, and the third was simply over the line.
Mu Qingxue, standing nearby, was completely shocked.
*That's it?*
*Even though these three demands sounded a bit weird, were they really worth an entire Secret Realm of the Holy Spirit?*
*These are basically no challenge at all! Seriously!*
But Xiao Ye's next words stunned Mu Qingxue even more.
Xiao Ye frowned and shook his head, "I agree to the first demand."
"But for the second, I can only give you one free massage!"
"As for the third, that's a no-go!"
"A liter of blood a day? Are you trying to kill me? One liter a month, that's the best you'll get."
Mu Qingxue was surprised. *This guy actually started haggling! Isn't he afraid of making Kunpeng Supreme angry?*
Yunxi happily agreed, smiling, "No problem!"
The Secret Realm of the Holy Spirit was naturally formed. All she did was release some destruction attribute and life attribute demon beasts in it, just to get life material and destruction material.
Even though Xiao Ye gained control of the Secret Realm, she could still come and go as she pleased, taking whatever destruction or life materials she wanted. It really didn't cost her anything.
If she actually cared much about the Secret Realm, she could easily find a bunch of unowned Secret Realms on the reverse side of the Main Space.
But at that moment, Xiao Ye asked in confusion, "Sis Yunxi, what do you want golden blood for?"
Xiao Ye understood his own body. After upgrading the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon template, his constitution leveled up several times, and his blood turned from red to brilliant gold. But even so, he really had no idea what golden blood was actually useful for.
Yunxi's gaze darted away, and, not being good at lying, she blushed and said, "I'm researching why summoned beasts mutate."
Xiao Ye nodded thoughtfully.
*Yeah, right. Research? She's not interested in research at all. She just wants the golden blood to eat!*
*A drop of golden blood could put her in a great mood, making every single cell in her body feel amazing.*
*A whole liter every month, she's making a killing!*
Suddenly, Xiao Ye felt something poking at his waist. When he turned to look, Mu Qingxue was poking him with her finger, her face full of anticipation,
"How about you give me a liter of golden blood too? I'll buy it with a crystal core! One Venerable-level crystal core for a liter, how about it?"
"Pop!" Xiao Ye slapped her hand away and bluntly refused, "Not selling."
*Are you kidding me? It's not like I'm short on crystal cores, so why would I sell my blood?*
"Hmph! Fine, don't sell. Not like I care that much anyway," Mu Qingxue turned her nose up haughtily. Sample from My Virtual Library Empire—read more on M&VLEMPY&R.
Case closed.
Yunxi waved her hand and instantly, everyone's scenery changed—they were transported from the Heart of the Secret Realm back to the great hall in the City Lord's Mansion.
Seeing the familiar hall, Mu Qingxue broke out in a smile and quickly rushed toward Mu Cheng, sitting at the main seat.
But Yunxi merely willed it, and Mu Qingxue's legs suddenly felt like they were trapped in mud, totally stuck and unable to move.
City Lord Mu Cheng's face changed. In a flash, he appeared beside the two of them, speaking in a low voice,
"Kunpeng Supreme, what is the meaning of this?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and released Dao Rhythm Energy, covering Mu Qingxue's legs and trying to undo the spatial solidification. But two seconds later, his heart skipped a beat and his face turned heavy.
He couldn't undo Yunxi's spatial solidification!
They were both top Supremes, but clearly there were levels to this. He was obviously no match for Yunxi!
*If the two of us squared off, I'd most likely lose!*
"Hmph!" Yunxi's pretty face was cold, and she snorted, "Just because you're the City Lord's Mansion, you think you can just steal other people's stuff as you please!"
"I'm here today for an explanation and to demand compensation!"
"Otherwise, this little chick here, heh heh!"
Mu Cheng's face went dark and he looked at Mu Qingxue, giving her a meaningful look, *Did you get the Secret Realm Core?*
Mu Qingxue thought he was asking about the compensation and could only nod helplessly.
"Ahem!" Mu Cheng's face lit up with joy as he said, "It's just compensation. We'll pay!"
Yunxi lazily lifted her eyelids. "Oh, and how exactly are you planning to compensate?"
Mu Cheng considered the value of the Secret Realm of the Holy Spirit, focusing mostly on the two rare attribute demon beasts inside, and then spoke,
"One low-grade Venerable Crystal Core. Ten pieces of supreme-level, one-time-use attack or defense equipment!"
Yunxi was a bit surprised. *Wow, that's generous?*
Mu Qingxue's eyes widened. *Her dad was really willing to part with something that precious just to keep her safe?*
Xiao Ye sucked in a breath. *Wow, that's some serious wealth. No wonder he's the City Lord!*
Mu Cheng asked cautiously, "Kunpeng Supreme, is this enough?"
Yunxi raised a finger, "Add in ten top-grade automatic contract instruments."
Mu Cheng almost burst out laughing, but managed to hold it in, "No problem!"
He was an Array Master, after all. Not to mention ten, even twenty, he could easily craft in no time.
Then, he shot a look to a steward standing by.
Two minutes later,
An elderly steward brought over a finely decorated gift box with a storage ring inside.
Mu Cheng motioned for the steward to give it to Yunxi.
After accepting the storage ring, Yunxi looked inside—sure enough, it contained: one low-grade Venerable Crystal Core, ten pieces of supreme-level one-use equipment, and ten top-grade automatic contract instruments.
Xiao Ye sidled over and whispered, "Sis Yunxi, I was the one who caught that chick. I should get a share of the compensation, right?"
Yunxi put away the storage ring, a smile appearing on her face as she said,
"You can have a share, but not now. If you give me a massage sometime, I'll give you one piece of equipment."
Xiao Ye: ...
*Only getting paid after the massage? That's not a bonus, that's just salary!*
*Xiao Ye resolved to raise his prices for massages in the future!*
Mu Cheng pulled the newly-freed Mu Qingxue to the side, happily patting her on the shoulder and saying, "You did well! The value of the Secret Realm of the Holy Spirit lies in those two types of attribute demon beasts. Because of this, we've basically cornered the market for these two types in Dragon Country. No one else has them, only us!"
Mu Qingxue's face was blank. "What Secret Realm of the Holy Spirit? I got intercepted halfway!"
Mu Cheng was stunned and said in disbelief, "You didn't get the Secret Realm of the Holy Spirit?"
Mu Qingxue nodded.
*Failed theft?*
Mu Cheng's face went completely black—like a piece of charcoal, not a single hint of light left!
At this point, Yunxi and Xiao Ye were about to leave.
The mighty power inside Mu Cheng erupted forth and he yelled, "Wait just a minute, you two!"
If he really let these two leave now, the City Lord's Mansion would take a huge loss!
Yunxi's face fell, and she bluntly said his name, "Mu Cheng, as City Lord, are you going back on your word? Trying to break your promise?"
There was no way she'd hand anything back after already getting it.
That's what the City Lord's Mansion owed her for coveting her things!
"Boom!"
Surging, turbulent space-type Dao Rhythm Realm energy burst forth from Yunxi, crashing out like a tidal wave. For a split second, the great hall's roof almost blew off and the entire place creaked like it might collapse from the impact.
A summoning stone appeared in her hand, and if she crushed it, she could instantly use Contractual Power alone to activate the template and summon a top-tier Supreme Kunpeng Summoned Beast!
