Your Majesty, Let's Make a Deal

"Don't worry, I'm a very trustworthy person. I won't be like some of you who say one thing to your face and another behind your back!"

Ye Liangnai calmly slurped up a bowl of rice noodles, her face showing no fear or worry whatsoever.

Beside him stood the girl who had caused all this; she clung tightly to Ye Liangnai, her face filled with fear and panic.

"Hmph, that's for the best, so I won't look down on you!"

Upon hearing Ye Liangnai's response, the man snorted coldly, looking as if his scheme had succeeded.

Ye Liangnai simply scoffed at this.

Let alone the Land of the Moon, with his current strength, he could easily destroy the Five Great Nations.

If the people of the Five Great Ninja Villages cannot arrive in time, no major country can withstand his attack.

Time flies, and it's almost evening!

Ye Liangnai left behind a Water Clone, while her true self directly infiltrated the Queen of Roran's palace.

We have to thank the Queen for viciously sending out troops to monitor them, so the Royal Guard was practically non-existent.

There were only a few people that Ye Liangnai wouldn't even look at.

And so she went straight to the Queen's bedchamber.

"Who are you!!!"

Queen Mura quickly noticed Ye Liangnai sitting by the window, smiling at her, and immediately cried out in alarm.

She tried to call for her guards, but before she could speak, Ye Liangnai appeared in front of her with a swift movement, a cold longsword pressed against her neck. Ye Liangnai said, "Queen Majesty, I advise you not to act rashly!"

Mura immediately abandoned her idea of calling for the guards and looked at Ye Liangnai, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be that audacious madman who said he would annihilate the Land of the Moon's Land of the Moon and quietly wait for their arrival!"

Ye Liangnai smiled as she sheathed her sword and sat down on Mura's bed, saying, "That's all thanks to Her Majesty the Queen for having so many people watching over me; otherwise, I might have left long ago!"

Mura had no interest in listening to her gossip. Her phoenix eyes were icy as she demanded, "What brings you to my palace so late at night?"

I wouldn't visit the temple without a reason!

She believed that Ye Liangnai wasn't that free!

Ye Liangnai smiled again upon hearing this, then suddenly leaned close to Mura and lifted her snowy chin, saying, "I've heard that Queen Mura is a beauty of unparalleled grace, so I came to admire her. Hmm, she hasn't disappointed me. Your Excellency Mura is truly a beauty that could topple kingdoms, and I can't help but have some impure thoughts!"

Perhaps since Mura ascended the throne and took control of Rōran, she has never been so lightly and intimately approached by any member of the opposite sex.

She was both angry and a little shy at the same time.

Ye Liangnai's aura was too good. Under the moonlight, he was as charming as a heart thief, exuding confidence, brightness, strength and indifference, making people unable to help but fall for him.

"Alright, enough joking with Her Queen!"

Seeing that Mura actually blushed, and her phoenix eyes even shone with a peach-like light, he was startled and quickly ended the ambiguous action.

To be honest, the moment Ye Liangnai let go, Mura felt a strong sense of loss.

Of course, she immediately changed her tone and said seriously, "Then what brings you here? Is there something in my Rōran that you would covet? Could there be any treasure in this poor and desolate place of mine?"

Mura countered with a mocking expression.

"Of course there is!" Ye Liangnai raised an eyebrow and said, "That is the Dragon Vein in the land beneath Queen Mura's feet!"

Upon hearing the words 'Dragon Vein,' Mura, who had been completely calm, was so shocked that she sat bolt upright in bed. Her pupils constricted in horror as she asked, 'You... how do you know about this?!'

She had never told anyone else about the Dragon Vein beneath Rōran; it was top secret information belonging to Rōran. Because given Rōran's current strength, if the news of the Dragon Vein were to be exposed, it would definitely bring about the Dragon Vein's annihilation!

But how could someone like Ye Liangnai, whose background is unknown, know this information that only she knows? Could it be that this information has already been made public?

The thought of such an outcome sent chills down her spine; she could almost see the Rōran kingdom wiped out.

Seeing Mura's excited state, Ye Liangnai waved her hand to signal her not to be nervous and said, "There should only be the two of us in the whole world who know this secret!"

"I've come here today to make a deal with the Queen! I wonder if Queen Majesty would be interested in making this deal with me!"

"What deal!" Mura asked.

"Does Queen Mura want Rōran to grow stronger?" Ye Liangnai asked with a seductive look on her face.

Upon hearing this, Mura's pupils constricted immediately, and she asked, "What are you trying to say!"

"Rōran borders the Land of the Moon, and its vital supply lines are controlled by the Land of the Moon. It has been oppressed by the Land of the Moon for many years. Doesn't Queen Majesty want to take revenge?"

These materials were found by Ye Liangnai in the Land of Water's library when she had nothing else to do.

"But so what? Do you even have that ability?"

Upon hearing this, Mura retorted, expressing serious doubt about Ye Liangnai's strength.

"If they didn't have the strength, they naturally wouldn't have come to Queen Majesty! If you don't believe me, Queen Majesty can just wait and see!"

Ye Liangnai calmly sat down at the table and said, "Given the speed at which the Land of the Moon arrives here, and considering the speed at which their news spreads and their marching speed, the Land of the Moon's army will probably arrive in about two days!"

"At that time, I will give Queen Majesty a great gift! All I need is for Queen Majesty to keep her soldiers in check and not be caught in the crossfire when the soldiers of the Land of the Moon are fighting against me!"

Ye Liangnai grabbed some fruit from the table, wiped it on her clothes, took a bite, and said, "If even one soldier from the Land of the Moon deserts, just pretend I didn't say anything. If I do, Queen of Roran will have to agree to make a deal with me!"

"I will help you deal with the soldiers of the Land of the Moon, leaving the Land of the Moon with a weak military force. You can then take the opportunity to recruit soldiers to counterattack the Land of the Moon, and eventually annex Land of the Moon, thus strengthening Rōran! I can even promise Queen Majesty that if your attack goes poorly, I can step in and help you resolve the trouble!"

"My condition is that Queen Majesty takes me into the Dragon Vein, activates Dragon Vein power, and helps me achieve my goal!"

"How about it, Queen Majesty, do you want to make this very worthwhile deal!"

Ye Liangnai asked with a shrewd, businessman-like expression, her face full of confidence.

He seemed completely unconcerned about Mura's disagreement.

"What do you intend to use this for? Will it pose a threat to Rōran?"

Hearing what Ye Liangnai had just said, Mura asked rather warily.
