“I don’t have the divine spring, but I have something else…”
Zhang Ruochen took out a piece of fabric. Holding it, he sniffed deeply and could still smell the fragrance.
It was the marriage letter that the Thousand Star Maiden had written with him.
Her phoenix eyes gleamed. Strands of origin power flowed between her fingers. “You dare to threaten me?”
Big Beard and Blindman moved, appearing on either side of Zhang Ruochen.
The three surrounded him.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t panic. He quickly took the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide out and opened it.
Outside the yard, Xiang Chunan and Feng Yan sensed that something was wrong. They immediately activated the attack formation. The entire Kongling Island instantly started spinning.
Xiang Chunan jumped down from the wall. He took out the metal demonic crown and faint Absolute Saint Power burst out. All the Holy Qi in the air shook violently.
The Thousand Star Maiden’s slender brows creased. She sensed that it would be difficult to take Zhang Ruochen down forcefully. It would be dangerous. Thus, she waved and had Big Beard and Blindman retreat.
This was intimidation!
If they wanted to negotiate, then both sides had to be at the same level.
If Zhang Ruochen was still at his previous level and didn’t have Feng Yan and Xiang Chunan’s help, the Thousand Star Maiden would’ve attacked without fear. She would’ve stolen the divine spring and marriage letter instead of holding back like now.
She was still proud. Sticking up her snow-white chin, she said, “Give me a price. Sell me both the divine spring and marriage letter.”
Zhang Ruochen chuckled. “You can also give me a price and sell me Saint Monk Xumi’s whisker.”
“Can you afford it?” the Thousand Star Maiden asked.
“You didn’t even give me a price,” Zhang Ruochen said. “How do you know I can’t afford it?”
“One hundred million saint stones,” the Thousand Star Maiden said.
Zhang Ruochen was silent for a bit. “You really did give a high price. One drop of divine blood is only around ten saint stones. But you want to sell a whisker for the price of ten million drops of divine blood.”
Even a ninth step Saint King who’d lived for more than 1,000 years might not be able to afford 100 million saint stones. This price was more than enough for buying a planet.
The Thousand Star Maiden laughed. “You were the one who told me to give a price. Is it my fault that you can’t afford it?”
To her, both Guanghan Field and Kunlun’s Field were weak worlds that were about to be destroyed. One hundred million saint stones was definitely an exorbitant price that Zhang Ruochen couldn’t afford.
“But your silver book is quite a time and s.p.a.ce treasure,” the Thousand Star Maiden said. “If you sell it to me, you might be able to gather 100 million saint stones. Or exchange it with divine spring.”
“You would keep your promise, right?” Zhang Ruochen said.
The Thousand Star Maiden thought that Zhang Ruochen was prepared to exchange divine spring for the whisker, so she was happy. “I will become the empress of a civilization. I will definitely hold my promise.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded. He took out a storage bag and tossed it onto the stone table.
The Thousand Star Maiden hurriedly grabbed the storage bag and checked inside. Her smile quickly disappeared. Instead, her expression turned to one of shock.
It wasn’t the divine spring.
It was 100 million saint stones.
This was an enormous fortune, but the Thousand Star Maiden didn’t lack saint stones. She needed things that couldn’t be bought with saint stones, such as the divine spring.
She clenched the storage bag tightly and said coldly, “I underestimated you. I didn’t think you’d be so wealthy.”
After conquering the Yin and Yang Palace, Zhang Ruochen had gained 300 million saint stones. He’d basically hit a fortune overnight.
Using 100 million to buy Saint Monk Xumi’s relic was obviously worth it.
Zhang Ruochen shrugged. “Can you give me the whisker now?”
The Thousand Star Maiden wasn’t satisfied. She didn’t want the 100 million saint stones.
“If I guessed correctly, the ancestors of the Thousand Star Civilization gave you the whisker because they hoped that you would give it to me, right?” Zhang Ruochen asked. “After all, it’s completely without value to your civilization.”
The Thousand Star Maiden indeed didn’t see anything important about the whisker. She just saw it as a relic.
No matter how strong a G.o.d was, how valuable could their whisker be?
But she was very smart. She could see that Zhang Ruochen cared deeply about it, so she didn’t take it out. “Why should I give it to you? This is the only relic that Saint Monk Xumi has left behind. I don’t know how many time and s.p.a.ce cultivators want it. I don’t think the price of 100 million saint stones is enough.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes darkened. “Are you going back on your word? If that’s the case, then I’ll have to do the same.”
The Thousand Star Maiden stared at the marriage letter in Zhang Ruochen’s hands and clenched her jaw.
