Chapter 997: Refuse "Before we talk about that, I want to take you to a place first, and you will definitely like it." Princess Qiang Yin immediately stood up and walked to Zhang Fei [5]’s side. "Are you interested in seeing it?" "Please lead me there." "Please go back to your place, Old Meng." Princess Qiang Yin then led Zhang Fei [5] to the back area of ​​the Qiang Royal Castle. "That place is my secret place, but all the things there are wasted because I don’t have anyone who can refine them. Since you are an alchemist, I think you can use them for your pills." Zhang Fei [5] turned to her in surprise. "Did you use your wood elements to grow herbs in that place?" "Oh?" Princess Qiang Yin, who was surprised this time. "How did you know that I have the wood element?" Zhang Fei [5] just smiled and did not answer that. "Besides the wood element, you also have the earth element, and both are very suitable for that." Princess Qiang Yin looked at him suspiciously, but Zhang Fei [5] had no intention of explaining anything to her. "Why are you so ambitious to open shops on all the planets? Are you capable of managing them all?" "Why should I manage them all myself?" Zhang Fei [5] turned the question around. "Unlike you, I don’t like to handle trivial matters, and I will leave everything to my subordinates, including my shops." Princess Qiang Yin released a soft sigh. "Honestly, I also don’t want to deal with such trivial matters, and I’m more interested in other things. Unfortunately, I have no other choice, so I choose to enjoy my life." "I see." Zhang Fei [5] is not interested in her life story, but he is genuinely interested in her abilities, especially since only Janette, Lillea, and Shi Wu can do such things in his harem. Soon, they arrived at the location of a teleportation portal, and Princess Qiang Yin immediately activated it before leading Zhang Fei [5] through it. . . . Moments later, they arrived at a vast expanse of fields, which were filled with dozens or even hundreds of types of herbs. Apart from herbs, Zhang Fei [5] could see many ponds filled with aquatic beasts, but they were not ordinary ones, and they could be used for medicine. "Do you take care of everything in this place yourself?" "Yes." Princess Qiang Yin then approached an herb and squatted in front of it. "Actually, my late mother built this place, and she started everything from scratch. This Phoenix Heart herb was the first herb planted by her in this place, but unfortunately, she died when this field was not finished, and I continued her dream of making this field as beautiful as this." Zhang Fei [5] walked to her side. "This phoenix heart herb is quite rare, and its price is quite expensive in the Xianjin Realm. Although this herb has no direct relationship with the phoenix, the fire element contained in it is almost similar to the phoenix flames, so people named it as such. If this herb is combined with other herbs with the same element and several other types of herbs, I can concoct a type of pill for fire cultivators, and its effects will be very beneficial to them." "Have you ever concocted a pill from this herb?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚 "Yes." Zhang Fei [5] nodded at her. "I have some pills with this herb as the base ingredient, but I mixed it with some other herbs, and its effects are useful for male cultivators." "Only for male cultivators?" Princess Qiang Yin looked at him suspiciously. "Haha." Zhang Fei [5] laughed at her expression. "Princess, you misunderstood what I meant, and its effects are actually useful for all cultivators. However, female cultivators can’t swallow the pill directly because its effects will increase the Yang Qi of men, so they can only get its effects when they do something with their partners." "Dual cultivation, right?" "Yes." Zhang Fei [5] replied with a nod. "I am a dual cultivator myself, and I concocted the pill to help my partners." Princess Qiang Yin nodded in understanding and stood up. "I want to cooperate with you, and you can use all the herbs in this place, but I want 40% of the profits. What do you think about that?" "Please forgive me, but your offer of cooperation is not interesting at all, Princess." Zhang Fei [5] then picked all the herbs in the field one by one. "To be honest, I already possess all these herbs in my private field, and their quantity surpasses yours by several times. Moreover, their number will never decrease because I have three women with similar abilities to yours, so I have to reject your offer of cooperation." "Do your three women really have similar abilities to mine?" Princess Qiang Yin asked in disbelief, prompting Zhang Fei [5] to share some of his memories about Janette, Lillea, and Shi Wu with her. She closed her eyes for quite some time to read all of them before opening them again. "Are two of them Dryads?" Zhang Fei [5] nodded in response. "Lillea and Janette are the Dryads, and Shi Wu is the Azure Dragon." "Azure... Azure Dragon? How... how did you get a female dragon as your woman?" Princess Qiang Yin stuttered in shock. Zhang Fei [5] smiled playfully. "I’m handsome and strong, so it’s natural for a female dragon to be interested in me, right?" ’I’ve never met a man as narcissistic as him!’ Despite this, Princess Qiang Yin did not deny that Zhang Fei [5] was indeed handsome. "Where did you meet the two Dryads? When I was little, my late mother once told me that Dryads are friends of nature, and they have extraordinary abilities that are all related to plants and the like." "I met them in one of the realms in the lower realms, and their abilities were indeed extraordinary, especially those related to plants. Thanks to them, I never ran out of herbs, and they also helped me create several new types of herbs with their effects increased several times over." Zhang Fei [5] then looked towards the portal. "Let’s go back, Princess. I will buy that building, and I will open my shop in a few days." Princess Qiang Yin was disappointed by that, especially since she was previously confident that Zhang Fei [5] would be interested in her herb field. Unfortunately, the results did not match her expectations, which was due to the presence of Janette, Lillea, and Shi Wu by his side. Zhang Fei [5] smiled faintly as he noticed Princess Qiang Yin’s expression, but he said nothing. After some time, they reached the office of Princess Qiang Yin, where she presented the building documents to Zhang Fei [5], who successfully made the payment. "In that case, I will go now, Princess. I will invite you to my shop opening, and you will find many interesting pills there later." "I look forward to your invitation." After Zhang Fei [5] left, Princess Qiang Yin sat down in her chair and let out a heavy sigh. ’Mother, what should I do now? I was never comfortable living in this kingdom after you died, and I want to leave it. Unfortunately, I don’t have anything apart from my status, so I can’t just leave.’ . . . After he left the Qiang Royal Palace, Zhang Fei [5] returned to the building to check. Fortunately, the building was ready for use, so he didn’t need to renovate it anymore. He then contacted five people from the demon fox group to prepare, and he immediately picked them up at the Nine Stars Realm before bringing them to the realm. Zhang Fei [5] then handed them many items, all of which were related to alchemy. Initially, he didn’t plan to sell the sex toys in the realm, but he ultimately decided to do so due to their extremely high profits. Zhang Fei [5] wanted to check out the other kingdoms, but Feng Xishui suddenly contacted him that Li Tiannan had brought his grandfather and father to the inn, so he immediately returned to the Huangfu Kingdom. . . . As soon as he arrived in front of them, Zhang Fei [5] immediately activated the soul link and suppressed the two men from the Li Clan, which shocked them. They then looked at Li Tiannan, who was indifferent to their situation, especially since he was his slave. "Do you two still not realize why he doesn’t care about you?" Li Baishan and Li Qinghao stared at Zhang Fei [5] angrily, but his current strength simply overpowered theirs, leaving them helpless. "Li Tiannan has long been my slave, and he helped me kill Huangfu Shou. I don’t have any problems with you two, but I will still do this to you two, and you will help me to control this kingdom." Zhang Fei [5] directly touched Li Baishan and Li Qinghao’s chests, and he implanted his demon slave mark into their souls, causing their faces to turn deathly pale. After he finished, he pulled his pressure back and canceled his ability. "Tiannan, explain to them about the Gu Insect in Jiu Xing’s body." "Yes, Master." Li Tiannan directly told them about Jiu Xing’s situation. "I couldn’t get the Gu insect out, so I brought my master to you two. You two are also his slaves now, so you have to obey his orders, or you and our Lin Clan will suffer." ’Traitor!’ Both men screamed in anger in their hearts because they wouldn’t have experienced such a thing if it weren’t for him. Li Qinghao then spoke to Zhang Fei [5]. "I don’t know if I can remove the Gu insect from that person’s body or not, so I have to check him first." "I’ll check him too." Li Baishan spoke. Zhang Fei [5] immediately sent the three of them to the Yin-Yang Space, so his third clone could take them to the eastern forest in the Sovereign Heaven Realm. "Are you really considering taking over this kingdom?" Feng Xishui asked. Zhang Fei [5] nodded at him. "I have ordered Huangfu Song and Huangfu Fangbo to do something to their emperor, and I will take over this kingdom like the Huangfu Kingdom in the Nine Stars Realm." "What about your plans to open a shop in this realm?" Zhang Fei [5] immediately told Feng Xishui that he had already obtained a building in the Qiang Kingdom, and he also told him his other plans for the Huangfu Kingdom and other kingdoms. "I think that’s good, so we can leave this realm as soon as possible, and we will go to the Shandian Realm. I don’t want to disturb your business with Leng Xueyan, so I will go back to my room now." Zhang Fei [5] smiled wryly at that and immediately sat down at the foot of the bed. "Now I just have to wait for Leng Xueyan to come to me." . . . When Zhang Xiaolong [3] brought Yuan Tianling to the eastern forest, Ren Xiyi and Qian Shuang were already waiting for them there as per Jia Yuyan’s orders. Yuan Tianling immediately noticed Qian Shuang’s awkward gaze and attitude, and she was sure that Zhang Xiaolong [3] had done something to her, but she asked nothing. "Please lead me inside, Xiyi." Ren Xiyi took Qian Shuang’s hand and led the two of them through the secret passages. ’Hey! This is your chance to talk to him! You’ll never be able to calm down if you haven’t talked to him, so you have to do it now.’ ’He brought his woman, so I’m not comfortable talking to him.’ Qian Shuang replied with a shake of her head. Yuan Tianling naturally noticed the two women’s glances at him, and she immediately spoke to them. "You don’t have to be shy with me, and I won’t forbid you from talking to him. However, you should do it later and let him cure your ancestor first, so you guys can talk casually." Both women nodded to Yuan Tianling, but Zhang Xiaolong [3] suddenly walked into the middle of them and embraced their shoulders. Ren Xiyi was confused by his attitude, and Qian Shuang’s heartbeat quickened. "Let’s cure Jiu Xing’s condition first, and I will accompany you two after this." - To Be Continued -
