Other long-life species probably needed the Moe Ying Body Miraculous Item too.
If Chen Li found another buyer, wouldn't the Xianzhou Alliance explode?
"Then I have other demands as well," Chen Li continued.
"Go ahead," Huai Yan said courteously.
"Besides the immunity medal, I also want the Nine Bestowments, permission to wear shoes and carry a sword into court, exemption from hurried steps when entering court, and to be announced without name when receiving praise."
"???" Huai Yan, who had studied history extensively—or perhaps was himself a living history book—froze upon hearing Chen Li's demands.
"What kind of nonsense is that?" Feixiao scratched her head.
"I have read ancient records. Back in the distant era, before the Xianzhou had left the cradle of its planet, the demands Chen Li just listed were the greatest rewards an emperor could grant a subject," Fu Xuan explained.
"Oh, I see. Then there's no problem, right? Chen Li's contribution should be enough. This Miraculous Item alone is worth more than a general's achievements. Even if Chen Li wanted to become the general of some Xianzhou, that would probably be fine. They're just empty titles..." Feixiao suddenly understood.
Chen Li only wanted those empty titles, so they could just give them to him.
"But there is another interpretation... Those who received all of those rewards were often powerful ministers, and those rewards were shortcuts to usurping the throne," Fu Xuan said darkly.
"???"
The look in Feixiao's eyes as she gazed at Chen Li changed.
If you wanted to become Xianzhou Marshal, you could have just said so. It wasn't as though it couldn't be discussed... If you could forge a Miraculous Item that cleared out every remnant of Abundance in the universe, you could immediately take office as Marshal. No one would object.
