“Eh? A lass that actually listens to instructions?” Jiang Chen’s viper tongued personality revealed itself as soon as he saw Princess Gouyu “Looks like you’ve agreed to believe me I can tell that your condition is o At this rate, you’ll breakthrough to eleven ratulations in advance”
Jiang Chen’s tone was lighthearted, as if breaking through eleven , and nothing to inally been full of expectation, waiting for Jiang Chen to compliment her with a feords It’d be fine even if they were soeneric co a rare genius at ically, this fellow didn’t even seem to know that wo that Princess Gouyu was staring at hi Chen smiled tiredly “So tell me, what did you need me for? The past couple of days have really exhausted o hoed and a at how you are now, is your father well?”
Jiang Chen winked “Do you want so with him?”
“Of course not,” Princess Gouyu’s jade lips er “Aht, alright We’re all on the saood and bad parts of you, don’t I? Right, you’ve coent business is there?”
Princess Gouyu really didn’t kno to deal with this fellow and could only respond honestly, “Of course I had a reason when I came to find you Followto be a cradle robber are you?” A wary look appeared on Jiang Chen’s face
“Rob your butt! What do you take me for?” Princess Gouyu almost directly slapped his face
“Hmm, you’re so fierce and you look like a tomboy do you like women?”
Princess Gouyu was utterly defeated If looks could kill, Jiang Chen would have absolutely died at least ten ti her way and the two arrived at a large warehouse surrounded by heavily aruards on all sides
They allPrincess Gouyu
“Jiang Chen, coave Princess Gouyu some face in front of others as he docilely walked inside This was actually a large treasury
The gold, silver, and other treasures inside were piled into a se and precious treasures were piled high on racks on its two sides

If that’s the case, I only have one sentence -- you win, hurry up and s into my home”
Princess Gouyu was so amused by his manner of complete seriousness that she involuntarily cracked a smile
She suddenly discovered that it was quite relaxing being with this damnable sort of character This felloas always up to a dirty trick of some sort whenever he found the opportunity to do so, and his open-ly diffident de Chen, my royal brother has instructed me that you can take your pick fro on corrupting ht him here for this purpose
“You can’t possibly really want all of it?” Princess Gouyu’s eyes widened

“Are you… are you serious?” Princess Gouyu had never thought that such words would coain a better understanding of Jiang Chen
Jiang Chen said with a grave face, “Do you think I would joke with the lives of millions of victims of a natural calao as Jiang Chen’s awe inspiring righteousness had driven her a bit out of breath Finally, her phoenix eyes twitched, “Alright, I will make the decision on behalf of my royal brother If I remember correctly, the Jinshan dukedo victims are an act of benevolent rule It benefits the face of your royal family What does that have to do with the relationshi+p between our two fa Chen’s rebuttal caused Princess Gouyu’s face to flush red She too felt that her words had lacked appropriateness and were deserving of admonishment
After a moment of aardness, Princess Gouyu finally found a topic “Jiang chen, this Du Ruhai was an avid collector of divine weaponry These weapons are all out of the ordinary, why don’t you select an item or two?”
“Oh? I surely won’t be polite here” Jiang Chen didn’t decline and came to the racks filled eaponry
