"What did you say?!"
Sure enough, as soon as Yao Wan finished speaking, Hai Bodong's face could not hide the surprise in his heart.
He was originally not interested in the existence of Yao Wan, but if he said that the other party could help him lift the damn seal, then he would naturally become more energetic.
After all, this damn seal has trapped him in this Tagor Desert for decades, and no matter how much he wants to continue to endure and wait, he will almost be unable to bear it anymore.
"Little girl, don't talk nonsense."
Hai Bodong was a little touched in his heart, but after all, he was still Dou Emperor who had matured as a mature man, and it was not Yao Wan who just believed it after just saying a few words.
"Then Mr. Ice Emperor means that if what I said is true, then this transaction can continue?"
"Then at least you have to take it out..."
Hai Bodong snorted coldly, he hated people who talked nonsense the most.
But before he could finish his words, a green color bloomed in front of his eyes like flowers, trees, and vines.
Hai Bodong Under the old face, the blue eyes that have not become cloudy due to aging are staring at the green flame blooming from the palm of the girl Rouyi.
It was probably the most shocking color he had ever seen in his life. It was obviously a flame, but it was like a living plant, with an incredible sense of rhythm.
In the past few decades, Dou Qi has experienced the aging caused by that damn seal sealing his whole body. The pale and powerless feeling that the human body can't fight against time left a deep impression on Hai Bodong.
This is the breath of life.
It was as if the concept of life itself showed its true form in front of him, making him suddenly lost his mind.
This is a wonder of heaven and earth in the true sense, a product of creation that conquers heaven and earth.
Hai Bodong prides himself on being well-informed, but when he saw this green flame, he couldn't help but sigh in shock.
"...Heavenly Flames!"
Although Hai Bodong has not carefully understood what kind of existence Heavenly Flames is, with his eyesight, it is not difficult to judge what kind of existence this magical flame is.
"That's right."
Yao Wan smiled, then he closed his jade fingers and put Life Spirit Flame in his palm again.
"Now, Mr. Dou Emperor, do you still have any questions?"
"Little girl... are you an alchemist?"
Hai Bodong obviously hesitated, but a glimmer of light still appeared in his eyes involuntarily. It was the shock and excitement of accidentally catching a glimpse of a ray of light after being in the deep darkness for a long time.
But while he naturally had this idea, he still had some doubts.
"That's natural."
Yao Wan answered simply. She was just waiting for Hai Bodong to make a choice that satisfied her as soon as possible.
"... There are not many alchemists in this world who possess Heavenly Flames."
Hai Bodong said.
"Isn't that just a coincidence? I just happen to be."
Yao Wan said, "I know what the old gentleman is worried about, but he is just afraid that I will be mysterious and go back on my promise."
"But blocking it is better than continuing to waste your time here."
"The powerful man who dominated Gama Empire decades ago can only stay in a barren land and draw maps every day to make a living. Doesn't the old gentleman want to say that you enjoy this kind of life?"
Yao Wan's words were like Cattle Hair Steel Needles, piercing into Hai Bodong's heart, stimulating his overwhelmed nerves.
Hai Bodong lowered his head slightly. The blood vessels on his temples were beating slightly. The impulse and frustration of the rising blood made him feel very uncomfortable.
He rationally realized that such behavior was taboo when bargaining with others, but he had to accept this fact.
What's even more terrible is that even Hai Bodong himself agrees with Yao Wan's words from the bottom of his heart.
After all, no matter what, he was Dou Emperor in the past. Just as Yao Wan said, he was the strong man who dominated the entire Gama Empire!
But now he is hiding here, drawing maps all day long, how can he accept it?!
"... You're right, I can't bear this anymore."
Hai Bodong finally sighed and said.
When Yao Wan saw this, he just smiled and said nothing. He was not in a hurry to say anything further, but wanted to see what Hai Bodong wanted to say.
"Maybe it's time for me to take a gamble."
Hai Bodong said in a deep voice, "Okay, I agree to this deal, using a map in exchange for my recovery."
"Wrong, old gentleman."
Yao Wan gently raised his hand and interrupted his words.
"It's not this one, it's not just this one. If I guessed correctly, the old gentleman should have two such fragments in his hand, right?"
Hai Bodong immediately frowned.
"Since it is a transaction, everyone should be open and honest. I come here with sincerity, and naturally I hope that the old gentleman can also treat me with sincerity."
"If you have this sincerity, I will naturally be willing to trade with you——"
Hai Bodong said a few words to get rid of the embarrassment of hiding his secrets. Although it was just that he didn't say anything about it at all, it was still embarrassing for others to see through.
"Haha, that's good."
Hearing Hai Bodong's words, Yao Wan laughed.
Ice Emperor's attitude was obvious to her at a glance. To put it bluntly, it was just a matter of one sentence - the chips were not enough, so we had to add money!
As for adding more money, that's not something that can be discussed.
Yao Wan had a winning smile on her face. The last thing she needed was money.
"Since the old gentleman also has this sincerity, then I can rest assured."
"In that case, let's do it like this? Two maps, two prices. On one map, I will help you break the seal. On the second map, I will help you improve your cultivation to a higher level."
Yao Wan's words were shocking. Even Hai Bodong raised his eyebrows when he heard her words.
What kind of background does this little girl have that can speak like this?
"I wonder what kind of cultivation the old gentleman had back then?"
"Five Star Dou Huang."
"Oh."
Yao Wan nodded, as if thinking, and then said, "How about this? I happen to be short of a bodyguard, so I will add one more thing. You will be my bodyguard for two years and you will be at my disposal. As a reward, I will let you be promoted to Dou Zong. How about that?"
As she spoke, she held out two fingers and said.
"..."
Hai Bodong I didn't even know what to say for a while.
He didn't think Yao Wan was a liar anymore, he just thought she might be crazy.
Dou Zong? Why do the words Dou Zong sound so light in her mouth?
Does she think Dou Zong is a piece of cabbage that can be bought casually on the roadside? Give it as you say?
But when he thought about this, Hai Bodong couldn't help but shook his head. The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became.
