Chapter 491: Paying Close Attention

“This matter was, indeed, caused by my little sister’s misbehaviour. The fault lies on our side entirely,” Ying Gu Liang began. “If you truly wanted to deal with her, I wouldn’t find it anything but normal! I am, however, her older brother, so I couldn’t just watch as that happens. On top of that, brother White Sand was quick to act at that time, so the overall outcome was not too dire. Because of all this, I wish we could find some space to alleviate this enmity.”
Listening to the man speak, Xue Ying revealed a frown. “There weren’t any dire consequences? Indeed, that was because my Big Brother, the White Sand City Lord, arrived. Hmph, without him, I would have long since embarked on a path of endless vengeance!”
Ying Gu Liang paused for a moment before adding on, “You’re completely right. We’re truly indebted to brother White Sand; we have to show him our gratitude. In any case, I have arrived at this time to sincerely apologize, hoping to defuse this enmity. Your Highness, should you have any conditions, please state them right away.”
“You’re letting me state the conditions?” Xue Ying coldly said. “Alright then. Don’t say I’m not giving Venomous Ying a way out.”
“Just state them freely, Your Highness.” Ying Gu Liang let out a breath of relief inwardly. Since Xue Ying had conditions that could be mentioned, he could follow up with a negotiation.
“I have two conditions,” Xue Ying said directly. “The first is to bring out ten kilograms of Demon Bone Ash!”
Ying Gu Liang’s expression changed greatly at the sound of those words, while General Mo was sighing inwardly at how amazingly ruthless Xue Ying could be!
Just five hundred grams of Demon Bone Ash was valued at fifty million Deity crystals at the very least, while ten kilograms would cost a full billion Deity crystals! General Mu had no way to bring out such a sum, and not even Ying Gu Liang could possibly arrange that sum. Furthermore Demon Bone Ash was a very rare material and was relatively hard to purchase!
“The second condition is for the Venomous Ying World Deity herself to come kneel right outside my residence for ten thousand years,” Xue Ying continued. “Fulfill both conditions, and you can consider our enmity dissolved! Don’t say I’m not giving you a way out. I’ve told you the conditions, and it’s up to the Venomous Ying World Deity to meet them or not.”
“This… this is just…”
Ying Gu Liang laughed bitterly. “You might as well have not even mentioned these conditions. In the case of the ten kilograms of Demon Bone Ash, forget me and my little sister, even stage four World Deities would have to go through a lot of trouble to acquire them. As for my little sister kneeling for ten thousand years, considering her temper, she’d refuse it even when faced with death…”
“Great temper, you say?” Xue Ying sneered. “Have you not come to apologize? What’s the point in this garbage talk about her temper if you’re here make amends? I can leave you ten thousand years to arrange the ten kilogrammes of Demon Bone Ash, but the Venomous Ying World Deity must be outside my residence kneeling within three days! Hmph! If she doesn’t show up, don’t blame me for giving you a chance.
“Send them off!” Xue Ying stood up immediately.
The guards immediately entered from outside and turned to look at General Mo and Ying Gu Liang. The two, General Mo and Ying Gu Liang, traded gazes.
“Is there any chance that the conditions might be lowered?” Ying Gu Liang asked.
Xue Ying only frowned in response, while the two guards stepped in, “Guests, if you could follow us, please!”
“Let’s go, then,” General Mo said.
Ying Gu Liang helplessly exited the place.
General Mo turned toward Xue Ying and transmitted him a message, “Your Highness, there’s absolutely no chance that the Venomous Ying World Deity will accept such conditions. They couldn’t possibly afford ten kilograms of Demon Bone Ash, and it’s unlikely they could find so much of it either.”
“I’ve given my conditions. Everything is now in their hands,” Xue Ying replied indifferently.
The place known as the Nest of Myriad Devils was a towering mountain floating in the starry sky, shrouded in black fog and littered with venomous snakes. It was a well-known place within the Calm Sea Prefecture as a territory under the control of the Venomous Ying World Deity, an extremely famous figure within the Calm Sea Prefecture. It was not only her elder brother’s influence that helped her, but also her extreme proficiency in hexing poisons. In fact, she was said to be the strongest expert in the entire Calm Sea Prefecture in that regard.
“Delusional! He’s delusional! He wants me to kneel in front of his official residence for ten thousand years? Who does he think he is? I’ve cultivated for so long to become a stage three World Deity, but I would never accept his order and kneel before him! He could threaten to kill me, and I still would not do it.” The Venomous Ying World Deity’s enormous tail was winding around the enormous palace hall, and her eyes were filled with fury. “On top of that, he wants ten kilograms of Demon Bone Ash? What does he even think that means? Does he think you can find Demon Bones on any corner of the street? Is that ash so easy to find? Forget ten kilograms, I wouldn’t give him even five hundred grams! What’s with these conditions? He is just trying to humiliate the both of us, big brother!”
Her voice reverberated within the huge hall to the degree that it began to tremble under its force.
There was no attendant nor guard who dared stay there any longer.
“Ten kilograms of Demon Bone Ash? We couldn’t afford it even if we pool our resources.” Ying Gu Liang shook his head. “His Highness Dong Bo is indeed quite the bully; he’s essentially giving us no way out.”
