639 Crazy from Being Poor (2/2)

Pangong Tso's heart was pounding the whole time on their journey. He was afraid Qin Mu would suddenly jump out and kill him. Luckily for him, Chi Xi guarded him quite well.

When they came to the capital city, First Ancestor Human Emperor directly descended on the imperial palace. Qin Mu summoned a guard over to let him inform the emperor. After a moment, Yan Zhigui hurriedly walked out from the palace with small and quick steps. He said with a smile, ”Human Emperor Qin, everyone, His Majesty is already waiting for the emissary from Crimson Light Era in the audience hall! Please follow me...”

”Lord Yan, please lead the way,” said Qin Mu in a solemn voice.

While they were walking towards the audience hall, Yan Zhigui turned around and looked at the three-headed and six-armed Chi Xi. His heart was astonished. He asked Qin Mu in a hushed voice, ”Emissary of Crimson Light Era? What's his origin?”

”Thirty-five thousand years ago, Crimson Light Era built the celestial heavens. After the celestial heavens fell into South Sea, a small portion of them escaped. This Chi Xi is an executioner of the celestial heavens from that era. He has the abilities of a true god or a heavenly god.”

Yan Zhigui was stunned.

When they came to the audience hall, they saw Emperor Yanfeng sitting on the dragon throne. Chi Xi bowed as he entered. ”Crimson Light Celestial Heavens Emissary Chi Xi pays his respects to the ruler of Eternal Peace!”

Emperor Yanfeng raised his hands and smiled. ”Stand up and talk. Since you are an emissary of a past dynasty, I can't be sloppy. Bring him a seat.”

He turned to First Ancestor Human Emperor and greeted him. ”Hall of Human Emperors' First Ancestor Human Emperor, this little king is honored!”

First Ancestor returned his greeting. ”Human Emperor is only a name, but Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. There's no need to be courteous.”

”Human Emperor, please take a seat,” Emperor Yanfeng said.

A guard beside them moved a couple of chairs for them. Chi Xi took a seat while Pangong Tso stood on his left. First Ancestor Human Emperor also sat down.

Emperor Yanfeng's gaze moved around and landed on Qin Mu. He felt a slight headache, but he said with a smile, ”Minister Qin, come closer to me. I haven't seen you for a long while. Come speak beside me.”

Qin Mu went up to the throne room and came to the right side of the dragon throne.

Emperor Yanfeng was full of smiles. He asked Qin Mu in a voice that was as low as a mosquito's buzz, ”What's happening? Where is he from? What era is Crimson Light Era? How long ago is it?”

Qin Mu's consciousness pulsed gently as he used the communication method of Heavenly Feather Race. He explained everything briefly, and said lastly, ”Your Majesty, Chi Xi has something to ask from us. We can rip him off.”

Emperor Yanfeng put his heart at ease, and he laughed loudly. ”I have long known about Crimson Light Celestial Heavens that have landed in South Sea, and I too find it a pity that the once glorious dynasty is no more. I frequently go to South Sea to pay respects to the seniors and distinguished predecessors, and even I couldn't help shedding tears. I have never expected that I could still meet an expert of Crimson Light Era today! Mister Chi Xi, you are a guest from afar, and since you want to form an alliance with Eternal Peace, this is naturally extremely good for us. However, since my Eternal Peace Empire is weak, we can't even protect ourselves. On the outside, we have devils that are causing troubles in Supreme Emperor Heaven, and on the inside, the gods of the celestial heavens could revive any time from their stone statues. With worries on both the inside and outside, my empire is truly lacking some treasures that could suppress the fate...”

Qin Mu coughed and said, ”Your Majesty, the thing in Mister Chi Xi's hands is the treasure of Crimson Light Era. It has a total of a thousand layers, and millions of divine weapons are hanging on its eaves. It's called Crimson Light Heaven Suppressing Floor.”

Chi Xi's expression changed slightly. ”Your Majesty, I'm an emissary, and I didn't bring any treasure for this visit...”

Emperor Yanfeng tilted his body and said with a low voice, ”Minister Qin, so emissary didn't bring any offerings when coming to meet me?”

Qin Mu hesitated for a moment before saying in a suppressed voice, ”Poor.”

Emperor Yanfeng came to a realization and said, ”This alliance has no sincerity.”

Chi Xi frowned, and he gritted his teeth. He was planning to take out Crimson Light Heaven Suppressing Floor as an offering when Pangong Tso hurriedly whispered, ”Teacher, don't let them fool you. This emperor and that Qin brat are the same kind of people. They are full of evil ideas! Teacher just needs to play along with them.”

Chi Xi endured it. He took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant from Crimson Light Heaven Suppressing Floor and said, ”A small gift for Your Majesty!”

A court official carried it forward and gave it to Emperor Yanfeng. When Emperor Yanfeng was examining the jade pendant, it separated into six pendants which transformed into six real dragons. The dragons flew around in the audience hall, and after they finished dancing in the air, they coiled themselves around the pillars.

Emperor Yanfeng was immensely delighted. Qin Mu tugged on his dragon robe while sneaking a piece of folded paper to him. He said in a low voice, ”Your Majesty, that's just a drop in the ocean! I've written a list of items, and Your Majesty can use this list to negotiate.”

Emperor Yanfeng opened up the slip of paper in secret, and his eyes widened. ”Minister Qin, is this poor? Even if you sell my Eternal Peace Empire, I don't have that much wealth!”

Even if he was the emperor of Eternal Peace Empire, he couldn't help sucking in a cold breath from seeing that list of items.

”Emissary has come from afar, so please retire and take a rest first.”

Emperor Yanfeng composed himself and said, ”As for the specific matters of the alliance, Lord Yan Zhigui will be doing the negotiations. Court dismissed.” After saying that, he hurriedly walked towards the back of the hall. He turned back to wave furiously at Qin Mu, beckoning him over.

Qin Mu followed after him. When they arrived at the back of the palace hall, Emperor Yanfeng lifted his dragon robe and stamped his feet. ”So wealthy?”

Qin Mu hurriedly said, ”Soon to be poor.”

Emperor Yanfeng danced with raised hands while laughing. ”Imperial Preceptor is fighting a war in Supreme Emperor Heaven, and he has depleted my imperial treasury. Money is finally coming back now!”

Qin Mu was dumbfounded. 'Emperor must have gone crazy from being poor... I wonder if Heavenly Saint Cult has any money. Should we give him a cut of the profits?'
