Chapter 647: The Nine Nations Are All Under His Protection, You Can’t Afford To Offend Them (2)
Emperor Yuan Feng’s expression froze. He said unnaturally, “H-hello!”
“Grandpa, I’m hungry. Do you have anything to eat?” Xiaoyu’er blinked.
“Yes.” Emperor Yuan Feng’s reaction was a little slow. “Great companion, get the imperial kitchen…”
He didn’t know what to call Xiaoyu’er.!!
Eunuch Zhang reacted quickly. “Yes, Your Majesty. I’ll arrange for the imperial kitchen to prepare food for the little princess.”
The hall collapsed, and the scene was a mess.
But the officials of Great Xia were in a good mood.
A little princess who had suddenly appeared had easily dealt with a powerful enemy. Even the threat of the Demon God Sect was nothing to them for the time being.
An Earth Immortal enemy was not even a match for the little princess’s two punches. What could a mere Demon God Sect do?
A smile appeared on Emperor Yuan Feng’s face again. He glanced at Yin Wuyou, who was leading Xiaoyu’er to eat, then walked over to Zheng Yongtai.
“Young Master Zheng, now, we should be able to talk on equal terms,” Emperor Yuan Feng said indifferently.
Zheng Yongtai couldn’t face Emperor Yuan Feng and the others. He looked embarrassed. After a long time, he said, “What do you want to talk about?”
“Cooperation, of course.” Emperor Yuan Feng was confident. He smiled and said, “From the looks of it, my Great Xia shouldn’t be in danger of being destroyed—”
“Nonsense! I, Young Master Zheng, have already fallen. Who can destroy Great Xia?” Zheng Yongtai said angrily. “Emperor Xia, who is that little girl?! Why have I never heard of her?!”
“Didn’t you see? She’s my granddaughter.” Emperor Yuan Feng said proudly.
“Back to the topic at hand. Young Master Zheng, I don’t want to ask about your background. Even if I did, I’m afraid you wouldn’t say anything. But since you’re here for my Great Xia’s Forging Division, it means that there’s something you need.
“I will definitely not give you Great Xia’s Forging Division. But if you need weapons, the Forging Division is now open to the world.”
Emperor Yuan Feng spoke very calmly. Although Zheng Yongtai was powerful, the initiative was in Great Xia’s hands.
Emperor Yuan Feng was so excited that he didn’t even have the time to be angry because of having a granddaughter. He was even a little glad that he had this granddaughter. Otherwise, Great Xia would really be in danger this time.
“If I needed a weapon, would I need to look for you?” Zheng Yongtai said disdainfully. “What good weapons can your Great Xia’s Forging Division forge?”
As he spoke, he thought of the sword that the little girl had just broken with a punch. His heart twitched again.
How is she a little girl? She is simply a humanoid T-Rex!
It was a connate divine weapon! Even an Earth Immortal expert couldn’t destroy it easily!
Unless…
A thought flashed through Zheng Yongtai’s mind, but he quickly shook his head and denied it.
How is that possible?
In this world, it’s impossible for there to be a Grotto-Heaven expert. That little girl must have been born with divine strength or something.
If she were really a Grotto-Heaven expert, would she need to use her fist against an Earth Immortal like me?
Zheng Yongtai had mixed feelings.
He said, “If not for the fact that Great Xia’s Forging Division is highly profitable, I wouldn’t even look at it.”
“Earth Immortals… need money too?” Emperor Yuan Feng hesitated.
“Obviously,” Zheng Yongtai said angrily. “So what if I’m an Earth Immortal? Don’t Earth Immortals need to cultivate? Doesn’t cultivation cost anything?
“The consumption of the cultivation of Earth Immortals is much greater than that of useless people like you!”
Everyone’s faces darkened. What right do you have to look down on us?
We’re useless. But you were defeated by a little doll. You’re not that strong.
Everyone cursed in their hearts.
“I understand.” Emperor Yuan Feng nodded. “That matter is easy to handle.
“Young Master Zheng, if you need resources, Great Xia has them.
“If you’re willing to be a guest elder of Great Xia, then Great Xia will take care of all the resources you need for your cultivation.”
Emperor Yuan Feng spoke confidently. Although he didn’t know how much the cultivation of an Earth Immortal cost, he was confident.
Currently, Great Xia was the largest supplier of weapons on the Ten Nations Continent. Even Zheng Yongtai was tempted by Great Xia’s Forging Division. It would be an understatement to say that it was making loads of money every day.
Although the resources Zheng Yongtai mentioned were definitely not gold and silver from the mortal world, gold and silver were still very useful, at least on the Ten Nations Continent. They could buy most heaven and earth treasures.
“You want me to work for you? Do you know who I am?” Zheng Yongtai glared at him. “I, Zheng Yongtai, will never work for anyone in my life!”
“Young Master Zheng, you might have misunderstood. A guest elder is not working—”
“Cut the crap. Even if you kill me, I won’t work for you,” Zheng Yongtai said firmly. “At most, I’ll promise you that I won’t think about Great Xia’s Forging Division again. After all, Great Xia isn’t the only nation that has a forging division in this world.”
Emperor Yuan Feng frowned. From what Zheng Yongtai said, if he failed to get Great Xia’s Forging Division, he still wanted to try going to other nations?
Now that the Nine Nations were united, he couldn’t just watch the other nations encounter danger.
“Young Master Zheng, you’re wrong.” Emperor Yuan Feng shook his head. “Even if you don’t become our guest elder, our cooperation is still possible.
“How about this? Young Master Zheng, if you need anything, you can entrust Great Xia to gather it for you. Then when Great Xia needs help, you can take action. How about that?”
“Young Master Zheng, didn’t you want to help Great Xia deal with the Demon God Sect and obtain my Great Xia’s Forging Division?
“It’s the same now. Great Xia’s Forging Division is still Great Xia’s Forging Division. Furthermore, you won’t have to worry about it. Whatever resources you need, we’ll prepare them for you.
“And what you have to do is similar to your previous suggestion regarding the Demon God Sect. You can help us when we are in need.”
Emperor Yuan Feng was quite eloquent, and Zheng Yongtai was slightly tempted.
Zheng Yongtai hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and refusing, “No! This is different! I’ll help you deal with the Demon God Sect, and the Great Xia Forging Division will belong to me, and you’ll provide me with resources, then I’ll help you.
“No emperor is good. Great Xia Emperor, you can’t fool me.
“I told you before that I, Young Master Zheng, will never work for anyone! I’ll get whatever I want myself!
“I can’t defeat Great Xia, but there’s still Great Qin and Great Jin! Their forging divisions aren’t much worse than Great Xia’s Forging Division.
“I don’t believe that the Qin and Jin emperors also have granddaughters!”
“Sorry to disappoint you,” Yin Changhao suddenly interrupted. “Although the Qin and Jin emperors don’t have granddaughters, do you know who that girl’s father is?”
“How would I know?” Zheng Yongtai said angrily.
“Her father is the King of the South of Great Xia,” Yin Changhao said.
“So what? I won’t provoke Great Xia anymore, okay?” Zheng Yongtai rolled his eyes.
“The King of the South is also the Side-by-side King of Great Qin. At the same time, he is also the Divine Might King of Great Jin.
“By the way, he’s also the Country Protector King of Great Liang, King Wei’lie of Great Han, King Wu’cheng of Great Qi, King Jiujiang of Great Chu, King Ping Bei of Great Chen, King Wu’an of Great Zhao…”
Every time Yin Changhao mentioned a name, Zheng Yongtai’s eyelids twitched. He cursed in his heart. Are you playing me?
“Other than Great Wei, the other Nine Nations are under his protection. You can’t afford to offend him,” Yin Changhao said leisurely.
“Although Great Wei no longer exists, it seems that the elite soldiers of Great Wei have also sworn their loyalty to him. Even if you want to recruit Great Wei’s former forgers, you have to get his approval.
“In other words, your only choice is to cooperate with Great Xia. Otherwise, you’ll have to go back to where you came from.”
Zheng Yongtai’s face turned green as he cursed, “Damn it. Who is that bastard?! How can you emperors allow such a person to exist? Why did all of you confer him king titles?”
