Chapter 1714: Chapter 1714 - Negotiation
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“I don’t have the divine spring, but I have something else…”
Zhang Ruochen took out a piece of fabric . Holding it, he sniffed deeply and could still smell the fragrance .
It was the marriage letter that the Thousand Star Maiden had written with him .
Her phoenix eyes gleamed . Strands of origin power flowed between her fingers . “You dare to threaten me?”
Big Beard and Blindman moved, appearing on either side of Zhang Ruochen .
The three surrounded him .
Zhang Ruochen didn’t panic . He quickly took the Time and Space Secret Guide out and opened it .
Outside the yard, Xiang Chunan and Feng Yan sensed that something was wrong . They immediately activated the attack formation . The entire Kongling Island instantly started spinning .
Xiang Chunan jumped down from the wall . He took out the metal demonic crown and faint Absolute Saint Power burst out . All the Holy Qi in the air shook violently .
The Thousand Star Maiden’s slender brows creased . She sensed that it would be difficult to take Zhang Ruochen down forcefully . It would be dangerous . Thus, she waved and had Big Beard and Blindman retreat .
If they wanted to negotiate, then both sides had to be at the same level .
If Zhang Ruochen was still at his previous level and didn’t have Feng Yan and Xiang Chunan’s help, the Thousand Star Maiden would’ve attacked without fear . She would’ve stolen the divine spring and marriage letter instead of holding back like now .
She was still proud . Sticking up her snow-white chin, she said, “Give me a price . Sell me both the divine spring and marriage letter . ”
Zhang Ruochen chuckled . “You can also give me a price and sell me Saint Monk Xumi’s whisker . ”
“Can you afford it?” the Thousand Star Maiden asked .
“You didn’t even give me a price,” Zhang Ruochen said . “How do you know I can’t afford it?”
“One hundred million saint stones,” the Thousand Star Maiden said .
Zhang Ruochen was silent for a bit . “You really did give a high price . One drop of divine blood is only around ten saint stones . But you want to sell a whisker for the price of ten million drops of divine blood . ”
Even a ninth step Saint King who’d lived for more than 1,000 years might not be able to afford 100 million saint stones . This price was more than enough for buying a planet .
The Thousand Star Maiden laughed . “You were the one who told me to give a price . Is it my fault that you can’t afford it?”
To her, both Guanghan Field and Kunlun’s Field were weak worlds that were about to be destroyed . One hundred million saint stones was definitely an exorbitant price that Zhang Ruochen couldn’t afford .
“But your silver book is quite a time and space treasure,” the Thousand Star Maiden said . “If you sell it to me, you might be able to gather 100 million saint stones . Or exchange it with divine spring . ”
“You would keep your promise, right?” Zhang Ruochen said .
The Thousand Star Maiden thought that Zhang Ruochen was prepared to exchange divine spring for the whisker, so she was happy . “I will become the empress of a civilization . I will definitely hold my promise . ”
Zhang Ruochen nodded . He took out a storage bag and tossed it onto the stone table .
The Thousand Star Maiden hurriedly grabbed the storage bag and checked inside . Her smile quickly disappeared . Instead, her expression turned to one of shock .
It wasn’t the divine spring .
It was 100 million saint stones .
This was an enormous fortune, but the Thousand Star Maiden didn’t lack saint stones . She needed things that couldn’t be bought with saint stones, such as the divine spring .
She clenched the storage bag tightly and said coldly, “I underestimated you . I didn’t think you’d be so wealthy . ”
After conquering the Yin and Yang Palace, Zhang Ruochen had gained 300 million saint stones . He’d basically hit a fortune overnight .
Using 100 million to buy Saint Monk Xumi’s relic was obviously worth it .
Zhang Ruochen shrugged . “Can you give me the whisker now?”
The Thousand Star Maiden wasn’t satisfied . She didn’t want the 100 million saint stones .
“If I guessed correctly, the ancestors of the Thousand Star Civilization gave you the whisker because they hoped that you would give it to me, right?” Zhang Ruochen asked . “After all, it’s completely without value to your civilization . ”
The Thousand Star Maiden indeed didn’t see anything important about the whisker . She just saw it as a relic .
No matter how strong a god was, how valuable could their whisker be?
But she was very smart . She could see that Zhang Ruochen cared deeply about it, so she didn’t take it out . “Why should I give it to you? This is the only relic that Saint Monk Xumi has left behind . I don’t know how many time and space cultivators want it . I don’t think the price of 100 million saint stones is enough . ”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes darkened . “Are you going back on your word? If that’s the case, then I’ll have to do the same . ”
The Thousand Star Maiden stared at the marriage letter in Zhang Ruochen’s hands and clenched her jaw .
She would be under his control as long as he had that letter .
Next, Zhang Ruochen said, “If you give me the whisker, I can give you some pointers for cultivation too . ”
Mid-sentence, the Thousand Star Maiden fell silent .
Because Zhang Ruochen’s words had hit her sore spot . The worry deep within her came out .
The Thousand Star Maiden had thought carefully about this . She had to admit that Zhang Ruochen was right . Her flaw in mindset was indeed very fatal and could end her path to becoming a god .
Meanwhile, Zhang Ruochen’s mindset was indestructible . He might really be able to help her make up for that flaw .
Because she discovered something that she couldn’t accept .
There were some things that Zhang Ruochen could do but she couldn’t .
For example, when collecting the divine spring, Zhang Ruochen could risk his life to be 400 meters away from the divine spring . This didn’t only require skills . He also needed a strong heart that didn’t panic and could move forward bravely .
After a long silence, the Thousand Star Maiden finally said, “Tell me first . If you really can help me, then I’ll give you Saint Monk Xumi’s whisker and not even take your saint stones . ”
Zhang Ruochen was very serious . His lips moved and he said some things to her telepathically .
At first, when she heard the words, her eyes grew cold and she didn’t believe him . Instead, she felt that Zhang Ruochen was using her .
But after listening to everything he said, she fell into deep thought again .
After a long while, she took out a glittering metal box and placed it on the table . “I can give you the whisker . But if you want to know where Saint Monk Xumi died, you must exchange for it with 100,000 drops from the divine spring or the marriage letter . ”
Clearly, she thought that the place where Saint Monk Xumi had died was far more valuable than the whisker .
Zhang Ruochen opened the box . After confirming that it was the whisker, he was relieved . He quickly put the box away .
This whisker was priceless for him .
As for where Saint Monk Xumi had died, he didn’t need to get the information from the Thousand Star Maiden . If he could decode the Sundial, then it was likely that he could find it himself .
Because the Ice Fire Phoenix had once gone there .
The Thousand Star Maiden seemed to think of something and her eyes grew eerie . Chuckling, she said, “Zhang Ruochen, did you and Sister Luo Ji do some hidden things at the God-Naming Platform?”
“What’s wrong?” Zhang Ruochen asked .
“For the past year, she’d been using many forces to find Lin Yue . She even came to ask me about Lin Yue’s identity and background . I’ve never seen her care so much about a man . It’s not normal . ”
“You didn’t tell her my true identity, right?” Zhang Ruochen asked .
The Thousand Star Maiden was also worried that Fairy Tianchu could have things to hold over her .
The many civilizations of the Ancient Civilization Sect seemed like a union, but they competed with each other too . They weren’t fully united .
Zhang Ruochen knew that the Thousand Star Maiden was paranoid . If he didn’t tell her things, she’d probably investigate by herself . Thus, he skirted the problem and said, “It’s not that big of a secret . We killed Wang Tian, leader of Ruiya Field, together, as well as King Yan and Queen Lian of Yin and Yang Field . She probably wants to kill me because of this secret . ”
“I knew that it wasn’t normal . So, Wang Tian, King Yan, and Queen Lian died by your hands . ” Getting answers, the Thousand Star Maiden laughed out loud . Her voice was as lovely as a bird in the valley .
This way, she knew one of Fairy Tianchu’s secrets and might be able to use it in the future .
Zhang Ruochen revealed this secret because Princess Luosha had escaped .
With her tactics, she would definitely find a suitable chance to spread the news and start a fight between the Tianchu Civilization, Ruiya Field, and Yin and Yang Field . It may even be a battle between the Heaven Field Sect and Ancient Civilization Sect .
Even if Wang Tian, King Yan and Queen Lian had died by Zhang Ruochen’s hand, Princess Luosha would probably make Fairy Tianchu the criminal too .
The Thousand Star Maiden led Big Beard and Blindman out of the pavilion .
As she was about to leave the yard, she suddenly stopped . “Zhang Ruochen, I will carefully think about that path you pointed out . To be honest, you are very foxy . From now on, you will be my biggest competition . I will do my best to surpass you in all aspects . ”
Seeing her leave, Zhang Ruochen’s lips curled up . “She’s smart,” he murmured to himself . “But the smarter one is, the more they think they’re smart when they’re not . ”
He looked at the storage bag with 100 million saint stones on the table and his smile grew .
This was 100 million saint stones and she didn’t take it .
Just how proud was she inside?
