Chapter 1504: Imperial Dualchild (2/2)

The listeners were speechless. He made it sound as if these priceless treasures weren’t different from cabbages at all.

“So, what will you give me for the Reincarnation Nine-Leaves?” He amusingly stared at Dualchild.

People here finally learned the name of the immortal medicine — Reincarnation Nine-Leaves.

Only someone as knowledgeable as Dualchild would know this type of gra.s.s.

Dualchild narrowed his eyes and replied: “How about I become your dao protector? Give the gra.s.s to me and I’ll protect you until you become an Immortal Emperor.”

The hearts of many talents started to thump. To have an Emperor a.s.sailant as a dao protector was an irresistible temptation for anyone who wanted to become emperor.

A moment later, all wanted to see how Li Qiye would respond.

However, Li Qiye only smiled and shook his head: “To tell the truth, no one will become emperor in this generation but me. Having dao protectors or not will still yield the same result.”

Countless people took a deep breath after hearing this. The final battle for the Heaven’s Will had yet to begin, so who else in this world would dare to claim such a thing? Nevertheless, Li Qiye defied all logic.

Of course, after musing for a bit, people would find that these words were quite rational. He could even cultivate thirteen palaces, what else couldn’t he do?

“There are many uncertainties in this world.” Dualchild slowly said: “Don’t be so confident, many geniuses have died in history.”

“That’s true for others, but I am Li Qiye. Nothing is impossible for me.” Li Qiye smiled freely in response.

He took breaths away with this overbearing response. For many people, they wouldn’t have the courage to speak to an Emperor a.s.sailant, let alone negotiate with one.

Li Qiye, on the other hand, remained calm and nonchalant. His decisiveness alone was worthy of admiration.

“Then what do you want to trade for the nine leaves, Young Friend?” Dualchild stared at Li Qiye.

Li Qiye met his gaze and answered: “I’m afraid the full gra.s.s is not on the menu. However, if you want one leaf, I can give it to you for the simple exchange of your labor.”

Everyone was shocked to hear this. An invincible existence like an Emperor a.s.sailant was only worth one leaf?! This was too unbelievable. If this was the case, wouldn’t Li Qiye have enough to have nine Emperor a.s.sailants under him?!

Dualchild’s eyes slightly s.h.i.+fted. After a long time, he replied: “Young Friend, you should know that this is impossible. Hand me the full thing and I’ll accept your condition.”

Li Qiye shook his head: “If you maintain that stance, we have nothing else to say.”

He naturally understood why Dualchild wanted all nine leaves. He wanted to gamble with all nine in order to live a new life again, an incredible profit!

“I’m afraid you don’t understand the whole picture, Young Friend.” Dualchild continued: “If I become your dao protector, everything will be different. You won’t just gain an enforcer that paves your path.”

“I know.” Li Qiye smiled back: “You think your worth is far above that. As a child of an emperor and a treemother, you do indeed have other advantages unlike others. For example, your connections and resources. These things do add some considerable value.”

1. Yikes, had to use treemother here. Usually, t.i.tles are gender neutral but in this case, leaving it as treefather sounds too weird.
