Hearing Afuya's flattering words, Chu Yun did not lose himself because of them.
Though she was the reincarnation of a remnant soul of the Elf Empress, as things stood, if Chu Yun wanted to protect her, it would be tantamount to making an enemy of all Elf Island.
He had not become so foolish that, with no conditions and no benefits whatsoever, he would stupidly play the role of her flower-protecting guardian.
He had never been that kind of man, nor could he become such a sucker.
"I like what you just said."
"But if you wish to rely on those words alone to make me protect you, I'm afraid it is still far from enough."
"Since you are Brother Xu's friend, there is no need for us to beat around the bush."
"When I cooperate with others, I basically look at only two things."
"The first is sentiment. As for the second, it is sufficiently great benefits."
Chu Yun laid everything bare at once and no longer wasted time.
Afuya's expression did not change. She had long made some preparations for this.
"Since the Chu Emperor puts it that way, then I naturally understand."
"So long as the Chu Emperor can protect me for one hundred years."
"During those one hundred years, I am willing to serve the Great Xia Dynasty and heed the Chu Emperor's orders."
"At the same time, once those hundred years have passed, I will no longer need Great Xia's protection, but I can still do ten things for the Chu Emperor!"
"I wonder whether the Chu Emperor can accept these conditions?"
Afuya herself was confident that, within a hundred years, even if she could not recover her peak cultivation from her previous life, she could at least return to the Great Emperor Realm.
