A Mental-Type Sea Soul Beast? Xu Jiujiu: Pay Up!
Since he has decided to win over the Dragon God Hall Dragon God Hall and stand on its side, Xu Jiujiu will naturally make things clear in advance.
Of course, another reason was that she was worried that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Team couldn't compete with Gu Yunxiao.
There's no way around it, Gu Yunxiao is just too rich!
"Princess Jiujiu, thank you for reminding me, but whether the sweet potato is hot or not, we'll only know after we handle it."
Gu Yunxiao smiled and said, "Mingde Hall is no match for the Dragon God Hall. Let alone super powers like Shrek Academy and Body Sect, even if the Clear Sky Sect came, it wouldn't make a difference."
"This..."
Xu Jiujiu was both amused and exasperated, her voice tinged with a hint of annoyance. "Why are you so stubborn? This embryo isn't as good as you imagined."
"Even the claim of absorbing Second Martial Soul is something we made up to inflate prices. Whether or not one can actually possess it, nobody knows."
"Moreover, the Soul Beast within the embryo is also extraordinary."
"Oh?" Gu Yunxiao raised an eyebrow, asking with interest, "Princess Jiujiu, would you like to elaborate? What is the identity of the Soul Beast within this embryo?"
"Hmph, you'd better promise me you won't bid first, then I'll tell you."
"That won't do, I'll know just by taking a picture."
"You!"
Xu Jiujiu silence, filled with anger and helplessness, Xu Jiu sighed and said, "I don't know the specifics, I only know it's a 100,000-year-old Sea Soul Beast, and it has Mental Attribute."
"Sea Soul Beast? Mental Attribute?"
Gu Yunxiao thought about it carefully and had come up with a few Soul Beast that matched the characteristics, but he couldn't be sure of the specifics yet.
He would have to retrieve the 100,000-year-old embryo and examine it carefully to find out.
"Alright, I understand. Thank you for informing me in advance, Princess." Gu Yunxiao nodded.
"Just a verbal thank you?"
"Princess, please speak your mind."
"... How about you marry me?" Xu Jiujiu asked, a hint of anticipation appearing in her bright eyes.
Gu Yunxiao: "???"
What is it?
To start by asking you, "How about marrying me?" is tantamount to saying, "Yunxiao, do you want a wife?"
"Why... why aren't you saying anything?" Xu Jiujiu blushed, suppressing her shyness, and asked nervously, "Is it not okay?"
"The Star Luo Empire wants a marriage alliance?"
Gu Yunxiao's eyes flashed, revealing his Xu Jiujiu thoughts.
After hesitating for Xu Jiujiu, she blushed and nodded, but then shook her head and said earnestly, "The marriage alliance is one aspect, but another is that you are outstanding enough, I..."
"I really like you." Xu Jiujiu said this with her face flushed. She had never pursued a boy before and didn't know how to do it.
If you're pursuing a guy, shouldn't you just tell him directly?
They say it's easy for a woman to pursue a man, and she's not bad-looking, plus she has the added advantage of being a princess. Gu Yunxiao should like her, right?
"It's fine to like someone." Gu Yunxiao nodded, then changed the subject, "However, it seems that your liking is mixed with too many other things."
"What is it?" Xu Jiujiu asked with a puzzled look, then replied matter-of-factly, "Wouldn't it be easier for the Star Luo Empire and the Dragon God Hall to unite through marriage and cooperation to unify the continent?"
Princess Jiujiu probably hasn't figured out the situation.
"It's not that my Dragon God Hall needs allies, it's that your Star Luo Empire needs to protect itself, which is why you've taken the initiative to curry favor with the Dragon God Hall."
"Whether it was the reminder and the answer just now, or the marriage alliance now, they are all part of a gesture of goodwill."
Gu Yunxiao's expression remained calm, and his voice was composed.
"This..." Xu Jiujiu thought about it carefully, feeling a little embarrassed, but she still said earnestly, "But I really do like you."
"Yes, I like you too."
"Real?"
"I like you as much as you like me. The more you like me, the more I like you." Gu Yunxiao smiled slightly.
Xu Jiujiu looked suspicious, feeling that something was off.
So, does this mean they've succeeded?
But why doesn't she feel happy? Is this how she always talks about things?
"Then... then you agree to the marriage?" Xu Jiujiu asked expectantly.
"No."
"???" Xu Jiujiu looked at Gu Yunxiao with a question mark in his eyes, and said angrily, "Then why did you say you liked me? You're lying to me."
Is it wrong for a woman to like men?
"You're lusting after my body?"
"Yes."
Gu Yunxiao nodded directly.
Xu Jiujiu: "..."
They're so greedy and yet they dare to act so self-righteous, it's infuriating!
If Gu Yunxiao had no powerful background, she would have him kidnapped, imprisoned in the palace, and given a severe lesson.
"Why don't you just agree to the marriage alliance?" Xu Jiujiu said irritably.
"The Dragon God Hall can crush the Star Luo Empire, and I will get what I want, even more, without having to pay any price."
"If that's the case, what's the point of a marriage alliance? Is it just to tarnish Star Luo Empire's reputation by crushing it in the future?"
"Although I don't care much about reputation, not caring doesn't mean I'm completely indifferent."
Gu Yunxiao said calmly.
"You, you, you..." Xu Jiujiu pointed at Gu Yunxiao for Xu Jiujiu, unable to speak. She never expected that the other party would think this way.
But... that's exactly how it is.
The Dragon God Hall will raze Star Luo Empire to the ground. As a princess from the defeated side, she will listen to whatever Gu Yunxiao wants to do.
Moreover, Gu Yunxiao doesn't have to take any responsibility!
"Gu Yunxiao, you scumbag!" Xu Jiujiu said angrily, "You actually wanted to sleep with someone and then not take responsibility? I really misjudged you!"
"Which eye of yours saw me being irresponsible?" Gu Yunxiao rolled her eyes for Xu Jiujiu. "You can call me a womanizer, I won't argue with that, but if you call me a scumbag, then we'll have to talk about it. I didn't start anything and then abandon you."
Even with Ning Tian and Wu Feng, Gu Yunxiao wouldn't give them the cold shoulder; aside from being a little less sincere, they had everything else he needed.
On the one hand, he is a possessive person; once something is his, he will not let go of it.
On the other hand, he also has the ability and skills.
"You..."
For Xu Jiujiu, I didn't know what to say.
For some reason, she suddenly felt a little happy.
Although Gu Yunxiao is a womanizer—no, a lecher—it seems he'll take responsibility for things in the future, which shouldn't be so bad, right?
Or... take advantage of this opportunity to do that with him, make it a fait accompli, and the Xu Family's future will be secure.
She refused to believe that Gu Yunxiao could be so cruel as to abandon the Xu Family, and she was even less convinced that she would be able to influence him through his influence in the future.
Thinking of this, Xu Jiujiu's gaze towards Gu Yunxiao changed slightly.
"Thirty minutes are almost up, Princess Jiujiu, you'd better hurry up and prepare for the auction later." Gu Yunxiao patted Xu Jiujiu's shoulder and reminded her.
It took her Xu Jiujiu to realize what was happening, her face flushed, and she lowered her head.
"You can be shy about this?" Gu Yunxiao's lips twitched, and he muttered to himself, but said nothing more and prepared to leave.
"Gu Yunxiao, wait a minute."
Xu Jiujiu suddenly remembered something, and subconsciously grabbed Gu Yunxiao's hand, saying, "You almost made me forget, there's one more thing."
Gu Yunxiao stopped and asked, "What is it?"
Xu Jiujiu directly took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Gu Yunxiao, pouting and saying smugly, "Except for that embryo, all the other auction items are here. Pay up!"
