"The price is too high?" Jiang Che smiled. So this Fairy Yunya was here to negotiate the price!
Jiang Che's gaze sized up the woman in front of him. From her eyes... he seemed to see something else.
At the same time, he activated the Truth-Listening skill. The Truth-Listening skill was ineffective against high-level immortals, but a Three-Tribulation Immortal Lord wasn't exactly considered a high-level immortal.
[Lord Palace Master, forgive my incompetence, this is the only way I can help you. Since it is destined to be impossible between us, let me do this last thing for you.]
Jiang Che: "?????"
Holy shit, what the hell did he just hear?
This Yunya actually liked Tian Chan?
Uh, no... more accurately, she should like Tian Haoran.
After all, Tian Chan's true identity as a woman... probably fewer than ten people in the entire Nine Heavens knew about it. This Yunya shouldn't know.
Tsk tsk tsk, thinking about it this way... things just got interesting. Yunya didn't know Tian Chan was a woman, so she had been relentlessly pursuing Palace Master Tian Chan? But Tian Chan knew that a relationship between two women was destined to be fruitless, so she kept avoiding her?
In the end, seeing no hope for her love, Yunya could only offer her body to him... just to provide help to her beloved?
What kind of melodramatic cuckold plot is this? The kicker is that it's a story between two female immortals. The Nine Heavens really are a mess.
However, the very next second, he heard another inner voice.
[Bound by the shackles of the mundane world, Sister Chan, the one I have always admired is you. To fulfill your long-cherished wish, I am willing to pay any price.]
Jiang Che: "???"
Holy crap, this is even more messed up!
After all that, Immortal Lord Yunya actually knew Tian Chan's true identity. I'll be damned!
This wasn't like the bestie relationship between Yu Wan'er and Ye Mengyao. After all, Yu Wan'er had been hit with a 'Heartthrob Talisman' by her biological father, causing everyone to automatically increase their affection for her, making hugs and kisses between sisters quite normal.
But Yunya was different!
No! The thing Young Master Jiang couldn't stand the most was this kind of crooked trend. He had to properly adjust this fairy sister's worldview!
When it came to this, Young Master Jiang was quite experienced.
"Young Master Jiang, I know you have a lifelong fondness for beauties. Although my looks cannot be called peerless, I was once ranked second on the Beauty Roll twenty thousand years ago. If you could bestow your affection upon me, could you... could you lower the price of the Life-Extension Pills?"
Heaven knows how Yunya managed to say these words. The difficulty of saying this was no less than: A'bin's high school grades were not ideal...
Meanwhile, Tian Chan, who was hiding in the shadows, was already panicking!
[Junior Sister Yunya, why put yourself through this...]
[Damn me, why did I get hot-headed and say those things to my junior sister back then?]
Jiang Che glanced at a certain spot in the void. Keep panicking, little Tian Chan!
Young Master Jiang, accustomed to boredom, loved to play some fancy tricks.
It seemed this little Tian Chan wasn't as righteous as imagined?
Damn you? If you deserve to be damned, why aren't you stepping out to stop everything right now?
At the end of the day, it was still just her own selfishness, wanting her good junior sister to please him in order to fulfill her grand mission of saving the people of the world?
Caught her by the pigtails!
Jiang Che laughed out loud in relief, "Lower the price of the Life-Extension Pills? That's not entirely impossible... Fairy Yunya, tell me, what kind of discount are you looking for?"
Yunya's pupils shrank slightly as she tentatively spoke, "I... I'm not sure, but could you... could you give a fifty percent discount? As long as you are willing... I, Yunya, will be at your disposal from now on!"
Of course, she knew what a fifty percent discount meant. Based on the massive transaction volume between the Heavenly Dao Palace and Jiang Che, ten of her probably wouldn't be worth that amount!
But she had no choice!
And Tian Chan in the void was also dumbfounded.
[Why... why? Why bring up your own conditions first? You've completely lost your negotiating advantage. You should have taken down Jiang Che first...]
As Tian Chan thought about it, her heart suddenly went cold!
What... what exactly was she thinking???
Why had her thoughts become so terrifying? Such ideas... completely contradicted the righteous path she had always upheld. Tian Chan began to doubt her life!
"Fifty percent off?" Jiang Che deliberately said loudly, "Hahaha... Fairy Yunya, you sure know how to joke."
Jiang Che's laughter gradually grew louder. "Do you know what fifty percent off means? Do you know that the transactions between Palace Master Tian and me involve tens of thousands, even over a hundred thousand immortal-grade spirit stones!"
"You want to offset half the profits all by yourself? Aren't you... thinking a bit too highly of yourself?"
Faced with this almost naked humiliation, Yunya didn't dare to get angry at all.
She seemed to have done something wrong. She shouldn't have brought up conditions right away; she should have used her beauty to seduce Jiang Che first.
"Young Master Jiang, I wouldn't dare... I was just joking with you earlier."
Yunya gathered her courage and walked towards Jiang Che step by step, but her pace was incredibly stiff.
She didn't even know how she ended up sitting next to Jiang Che.
But Jiang Che didn't seem interested in her. In his arms, he was still holding a cute, fair-skinned little toddler.
"Is... is this your daughter?" Yunya asked softly.
"Yes!" "No!"
Two voices rang out!
Gu Xian'er, who had been sleeping soundly, instantly opened her eyes. Quirky and adorable, she gave a cute smile, "I'm Hubby Brother's child bride!"
Yunya: "......"
Even a child bride was brought out.
"Go, since you're awake, go play with your Sister Wan'er and the others," Jiang Che pinched Gu Xian'er's cheek, looking helpless.
He really treated this little girl like a daughter.
......
After Gu Xian'er left, Yunya started to get bolder, slowly moving closer to Jiang Che.
Of course, she knew that given Jiang Che's level of life, nothing could happen between them. At most, she would just be taken advantage of, unless Jiang Che didn't want to live anymore.
"Fairy Yunya, are you starting to use a honey trap?"
Jiang Che smiled indifferently, firmly grabbing Yunya's slender wrist. His gaze was clear, even cold.
Yunya looked slightly panicked. Why was this Jiang Che completely different from the lecherous man in the rumors?
"I... I didn't, I just wanted to massage your legs!" Yunya tried hard to act like a gentle wife.
"Young Master Jiang, name your price. I know you love beauty, and I want to share the Palace Master's burdens. As long as you can give me a large number of Life-Extension Immortal Pills, I... I will be at your disposal!"
Yunya simply stopped pretending and stated her purpose directly.
"Heh—I lust after beauty?" Jiang Che raised an eyebrow and asked.
"No... no, what I mean is that you are suave and untrammeled, Young Master Jiang..." Yunya tried to argue.
"No, no, no," Jiang Che waved his hands repeatedly. "What I mean is... you're a really good judge of character!"
lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
nto another world, I bought a slave for the first time, never expecting the silver wolf girl to be so cute... Lin Feng: I know it's cold, but you don't have to sneak into my bed! Yuna: Just sharing body warmth, if you dare do anything naughty, I'll definitely...
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
