God Emperor 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.

This was intimidation!

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.”

“Do I need your…”

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 flaw in her mindset…

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.

She couldn’t do it.

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.

“Of course not.”

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?
