Chapter 1627: Transaction With The Yellow Cloth Girl (1/2)
After a good while, the girl said slowly: “Don’t you want to fight to the end? Kill your way above the nine heavens and sweep through the emperors and G.o.ds? If you want to be the last man laughing, you need to have all the untouched treasures in this world or you won’t be able to go further.”
“You’re wrong about that.” Li Qiye smiled and said: “No point in having an abundance of resources. Even if you have more, at the end of the world, it will only lend you a bit of strength. The truth is that you can only rely on yourself in order to win. Personal strength is the greatest force at the end of the world.” He solemnly said.
“But you still need resources along the way?” The girl said: “How can your men contend against them without ample resources? How can you train your own legions? Why would people join your banner? I don’t need to explain these logics to someone who had lived for so long.”
She paused for a moment before continuing: “I can help you in this regards, giving you some things unavailable to others.”
“If you know how long I have lived for, why do you think I don’t have enough resources? Plus, it’s not like I haven’t been there before, I’m even more familiar to each blade of gra.s.s up there than you.” He smiled in response: “If you think you can give me some rare items, haha, fine, if you can give me something I don’t have already, not only will I help you in this matter, I will even a.s.sist you in escaping this cloth, for you to return to this world with your own body.”
“What do you want?” The girl became slightly moved and asked with a serious tone.
“It’s very simple. Give me one of the nine Grand Heavenly Treasures then I will use everything in my power to help you escape the cloth and rebuild your body. Success is a.s.sured as long as I make up my mind.”
“Of course, there are a few treasures I don’t need among the nine. For example, the Myriad Thoughts Pot. Even if you can get it, I don’t want it.” He grinned at this point: “And yes, there are a few you can’t get either like the Longevity Gra.s.s or the Void Gate. They can’t be in your possession.
“If I have the nine treasures, why would I need to make a deal with you right now?” She said with exasperation.
“That’s why there aren’t that many things I can’t get in this world. Even the top weapons in certain epochs are in my possession. Imperial weapons are just cabbages in my eyes.”
The girl in yellow fell into a second silence. It looked like a wily old fox like Li Qiye was her nemesis.
“Of course, it’s not like you don’t have a chance.” He smiled and said: “I can even help you come out in the future. When the time is right, rebuilding your body is fine too but I have a condition.”
“What is it?” She eventually asked after a brief lull, understanding that a free lunch wasn’t possible in this world. Li Qiye had all the initiatives.
“Very simple.” He said slowly: “I only want one thing after releasing you from this sorry state, your loyalty and service for this generation!”
“That’s impossible.” She coldly refused.
He smiled in response: “Nothing is impossible in this world. I’ve seen many amazing women in the world. It doesn’t matter how n.o.ble your origin might be, you are just a downtrodden phoenix right now, no, not even that.”
“You!” She would be vomiting blood right now from anger if it was possible in her current state.
“I don’t care whether you are willing or not.” He continued: “This is ultimately up to you since it’s no big loss to me, only a contributor at most. I can even groom emperors so there’s no fear of not having new people.”
He stopped and smirked: “It’s not the same for you. I’m afraid there is no standing back up while being trapped in that cloth. Even if I was kind enough to release the cloth to the world, even if someone else were to pick it up, how many do you think can do the same as me, releasing and creating a new body for you?”
