Chapter 1318: Transaction

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Forced buying and forced selling?

A commotion broke out among the crowd. This lady was a tad too overbearing. This was—after all—the Earth Emanations Pavilion’s territory; she dared to make trouble here? Wasn’t she afraid she would bring trouble for her family? Black markets relied the most on trust. If anyone could come in here and cause trouble, who would dare to conduct business here in the future?

Jiang Yi was also rather strange. Ten thousand divine roots was an exorbitant amount. Since someone had come knocking and no one else was offering a higher price, why did he not want to sell? Was there something wrong with him?

Jiang Yi was very normal. A pained expression appeared on his face. Luo Qingyan was the Divine Eagle City Lord’s only daughter; she feared nothing in the Divine Eagle City. Complain to the Earth Emanations Army? The Earth Emanations Army took orders from her father; what use was there to do that?

Luo Qingyan took the secret manual, turned, and left. Jiang Yi was silent for a while and then could only stand up and follow along. He urgently needed divine roots now. Since this Young Lady Luo Qingyan had brought this onto herself and insisted on giving him divine roots, he did not bother so much anymore. If he could not get over this, he could still return the divine roots to her in the future.

“Jiang Yi, maybe you should forget about this. It seems this lady is quite well-to-do. You should be honest with her to prevent trouble in the future.”

He Wei had realized that something was amiss. The few plainclothes guards around had taken note of the commotion but did not seem inclined to intervene at all. He Wei was a little worried; Jiang Yi could not afford to offend someone extremely powerful.

Jiang Yi’s eyes shifted as he decided to listen to He Wei. It wasn’t because he was afraid; he had already offended the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan; he did not mind offending the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan as well. After all, no one dared to come after him within the Divine Eagle Tribe. He decided to tell Luo Qingyan the truth as he could not bear to cheat his life savior.

Yet!

Luo Qingyan walked very fast, and once out of the castle, she actually boarded a beautiful chariot that started to make its way down the street. Jiang Yi could not recklessly enter the chariot, could he? He could only follow Luo Qingyan’s dozen-odd female guards behind.

Luo Qingyan did not head to the Divine Eagle City this time. She went to the Earth Emanations Pavilion in the tribe’s north city. The chariot finally pulled into a huge courtyard. Jiang Yi took a few looks and realized many spies were inside. It appeared that this was Luo Qingyan’s secondary mansion within the Divine Eagle Tribe.

Luo Qingyan entered the backyard on her chariot as Jiang Yi was brought by one of the female guards to the antechamber. The guard brought Jiang Yi in and then actually activated the restrictions to the place. She poured Jiang Yi some tea and stood at one side, not uttering a word.

“What is the meaning of this?”

Jiang Yi was a little perplexed. However, he would not stand on formalities when there was good tea to be drunk. He took a sip and realized that this tea was top-quality: an aroma lingered on his teeth, and the aftertaste was amazing.

Luo Qingyan had not appeared yet, and Jiang Yi could only wait idly. He drank the tea sip after sip until he had finished it. Then, the restrictions lit up as an absolute beauty slowly walked in from a hallway at the back.

An ultimate beauty!

Jiang Yi realized that Luo Qingyan was true to her name. She was indeed beautiful and could trigger the desires of men; to have her under them in bed would be a huge sense of accomplishment.

Luo Qingyan did not wear her veil this time and had changed her clothing. Her tight pink long dress fit her figure perfectly. She looked like a goddess from far away, with no one daring to be disrespectful to her. As she grew closer, she made people feel like their hearts were palpitating; and their divine souls were turned upside down.

The part that attracted most people to Luo Qingyan was her airs. These airs were naturally formed and emanated from her bones. Elegant and graceful women could always trigger the deepest desires of men’s soul spirits.

Jiang Yi was mesmerized for a moment but quickly regained his senses. It wasn’t that he didn’t like beautiful women; he didn’t dare to fall for her, and he had suppressed his feelings. He had promised Yi Chan and the others that he would not fool around in the Higher Domain. Jiang Yi was already satisfied with a few wives and concubines; he did not want to hurt them. The Stellarsky Domain’s circumstances, Jiang Xiaonu, and Yi Piaopiao were all weighing on him; Jiang Yi had no intention to fool around now.

“Eh?”

Luo Qingyan had been observing Jiang Yi’s expression. Seeing that Jiang Yi managed to recover himself within a mere few seconds, Luo Qingyan’s face revealed her surprise. She had seen so many men that had been mesmerized by her and had their divine souls turn upside down. Jiang Yi had actually managed to get back to reality with his limited strength and abilities. There were two explanations: either his temperament was incredibly strong or he didn’t like women.

The surprised look on her face disappeared and was covered by her blushing. She walked and sat next to Jiang Yi. They were a table apart, and a very nice aroma spread from her that made Jiang Yi feel drunk even though he had not drunk anything.

The guard brought forward a cup of tea and actually left after that. There were only two of them in the antechamber. Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed as he felt that something was not right. This Lady Luo was of such high stature; how could it be he was left alone with her?

Without a doubt, something was amiss!

Jiang Yi also could not bother with whatever this Lady Luo wanted. He stood up, bowed slightly, and said, “Lady, I think we should forget about the deal just now...”

“Keke!”

Luo Qingyan smiled faintly as a beautiful ring appeared from her ring, and she pushed it towards him and said, “There are ten thousand divine roots inside this ring; I am buying that secret manual!”

“No...”

Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and said, “That manual is a fake; it is not worth anything.”

“I know!”

Luo Qingyan very elegantly raised her teacup, sipped from it, smiled, and said, “That is the Mighty God Technique, right? Your forgery skills are pretty high. If I hadn’t seen the Mighty God Technique cultivation technique before, I would have thought it to be real as well.”

“Uh?”

Jiang Yi did not understand. This Lady Luo already knew that it was a fake; why did she still force a transaction? Why was she still giving him ten thousand divine roots? Was she so rich that she had nowhere else to spend them on? She had purposely brought him here; she was definitely up to no good.

The problem was... Jiang Yi was an insignificant being; his current strength was pitiful in Higher Domain terms. What did Luo Qingyan want to get from him?

Could it be his body?

Jiang Yi shivered; why are the women in the Higher Domain so thirsty? First was Sister Mei; now, it was Lady Luo. However, if this lady wanted to fool around with him, Jiang Yi wasn’t that averse to it.

“Keep these divine roots. This is my compensation to you.”

Luo Qingyan put down her teacup as she passed the ring to Jiang Yi again. She said very sincerely, “The mission to kill Luo Huan was actually ordered by me. You helped me kill Luo Huan, and as a result, you have offended the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan. You can’t even leave the tribe now. I know that you are in urgent need of divine roots to raise your strength. Ten thousand divine roots are not much to me. I hope that they can help you to tide over this difficult time.”

Jiang Yi’s eyes flickered. It seemed as if he could hide nothing from this Lady Luo. His previous guess had been right. Outside the Crazed God Castle, Luo Qingyan had probably been lying in wait nearby. She wanted to personally witness Luo Huan getting killed. Hence, at the last moment, she had stepped in to help Jiang Yi.

Buzz!

Jiang Yi’s body flashed with white light as he transformed back into his original appearance. Since he had been exposed, there was no point being in disguise anymore. Jiang Yi paused for a moment and then took the ring. He cupped his hands and said, “Many thanks to Lady Luo. I am indeed in dire need of divine roots. However, these ten thousand divine roots would be considered a loan to me. It doesn’t matter to me who gave the mission; with you helping me outside the Crazed God Castle, I am already deeply in your debt. I am not used to accepting someone’s charity.”

“You indeed have guts.”

Luo Qingyan smiled faintly as she opened her mouth and said, “I admire young people with guts and character. You do not have to return these ten thousand divine roots. Instead, why don’t you help me with a matter? Once it is done, I will give you an additional ten thousand battle merits!”

“It has come!”

Luo Qingyan had finally shown her hand. At this moment, Jiang Yi finally relaxed. He disliked plots and schemes; to be able to openly discuss a transaction was the most ideal scenario for him.
