Chapter 706: Chapter 66 Ink Shadow Covering Light_2

"Please."

The two stood face to face, their respective teammates lined up behind them, both in a defensive stance and showcasing their strength.

Everyone was strong, so it was naturally not easy for a conflict to break out. Plus, with the guards of the Soul Suppressing Pass around, there was no fear of the other party causing trouble.

Xiao Jie opened the trade panel, and both placed their items in the trade slots, then began to examine the item attributes.

Xiao Jie looked into the other party’s trade panel and indeed saw a Dragon Ball.

[Black Dragon Xuan Chen’s Dragon Ball (True Dragon Inner Core/Ornament/Legendary Treasure).

This pitch-black treasure bead contains powerful water control divine power, a rare treasure.]

Xiao Jie thought it wasn’t bad, although slightly inferior to the White Emperor’s Son’s Dragon Ball, it was still an orange quality treasure. Trading it for the Five-colored Stone was not a loss.

To be able to take down a True Dragon of this level, the Aoao Niubi Empire clearly wasn’t weak.

He was satisfied. On the other side, Feng, from Wind Forest Fire Mountain, was equally excited looking at the Five-colored Stone.

"Good stuff, really good stuff! Back when this thing came out, that scoundrel Strong Dragon Flipping snatched it away, really unlucky.

That bastard dared to disregard me just because he had the backing of the Azure Dragon Association. If it weren’t so far away, I would’ve brought people to wipe out the Azure Dragon Association.

Hehe, it’s good he’s dead, really good." Feng said excitedly, suddenly changing the topic, "Speaking of, I should thank Brother Feng for helping me vent my anger. There’s a saying, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. We both have a grudge against Strong Dragon Flipping, so we’re friends now, right?"

Xiao Jie chuckled to himself, your flattery is too obvious.

If it were an ordinary person, they might have fallen for it, but unfortunately, he had already seen through the other’s intentions and wouldn’t take the bait.

"Hehe, of course we’re friends. But even between friends, accounts need to be clear. Business is business, right?"

Feng from Wind Forest Fire Mountain laughed dryly, "Of course, naturally. So, what do you think? Are you satisfied with this Dragon Ball? Can we make the trade?"

"It’s good, but—it’s still not as valuable as my Five-colored Stone. You’ll need to add some money to make up the difference."

"Oh? How much more?"

"3,000 taels," Xiao Jie said calmly.

The few people Feng had brought along immediately changed their expressions. 3,000 taels? That could buy a set of purple equipment. Even an average piece of orange equipment was about that price.

Feng from Wind Forest Fire Mountain said, "I can’t take out 3,000 taels. We’ve been at war with the First Dynasty recently, and all the silver has been spent on supplies. There’s not that much silver in the game either. How about this, 30 million in cash? I’ll transfer the money immediately."

Xiao Jie smiled slightly. He had asked for an exorbitant amount, yet the other party hadn’t gotten angry and was even seriously negotiating. Clearly, they understood each other.

The 3,000 taels Xiao Jie had mentioned was not the difference in value between the Dragon Ball and the Five-colored Stone; both were actually about equal in value. He was giving the other party a hint—he understood their intention, and if they wanted Dragon Soaring’s friendship, they needed to offer some benefit.

Since the other side was willing to negotiate, it showed that they were sensible.

This made things easier. The worst would be if the other party got furious, then he would know he had miscalculated.

"Hehehe, Feng, you jest. The gold price is nearly 20:1 now. 30 million isn’t even 2,000 taels, a huge difference. How about this, I’ll waive the fraction, and we’ll call it 50 million, flat."

Feng from Wind Forest Fire Mountain was generous, "Fine, 50 million it is. But... I’m not familiar with Brother Hidden Moon, such a large transaction makes me uneasy. How about this, you’re Dragon Soaring’s vice president, and I’m the vice president of the Aoao Niubi Empire. Let’s use our authority to forge an alliance between our guilds and then trade.

This way, with the guilds as guarantors, there’s no fear of reneging. How about that?"

Xiao Jie thought, here it comes. Sure enough, they were aiming for an alliance.

"Feng, you’ve thought this through. But I need to check with my guild master first—Alright, the guild master has agreed. We can form an alliance. From now on, the Ritian Kingdom will develop in Longhua State, and Dragon Soaring Country will develop in Fengyin State and Beiming State. We won’t interfere with each other, creating a better future together."

"Hahaha, well said, we won’t interfere with each other."

[System prompt: Feng from Wind Forest Fire Mountain represents Ritian Kingdom in proposing an alliance with Dragon Soaring Country, which you represent, for a duration of six months. Accept? Yes/No]

Once the two countries allied, they would share some national information, such as troop movements. This essentially meant both parties would share their maps.

If one side wanted to launch a surprise attack on the other, it would be almost impossible.

Moreover, the system would impose severe penalties on any side that broke the alliance, including reputation penalties, King’s Path Value penalties, public opinion penalties, and even NPC forces’ evaluation of the betraying power would drop. If it was too excessive, it could even trigger divine punishment.

So, once allied, it was almost guaranteed that they wouldn’t attack each other.

Xiao Jie calculated that the alliance duration was six months, indicating the other party was confident in defeating the First Dynasty and taking over all of Longhua State within six months.

As for the relationship between the two sides after six months, it was uncertain.

But Dragon Soaring Country had the same attitude; six months was just right.

Xiao Jie confirmed with Long Xingtianxia again before finally agreeing to the alliance.

"Hahaha, good, good, good. Give me your account number, and I’ll transfer the money now."

"Do we need to sign a cybersecurity agreement?"

"No need, I trust your guild’s reputation," said Feng from Wind Forest Fire Mountain straightforwardly.

Xiao Jie provided his account number, and moments later—

Long Xingtianxia: The money has been received.

Xiao Jie then completed the trade with the other party, each getting what they wanted.

"Brother Sui Feng, we’ll meet again someday." Feng from Wind Forest Fire Mountain equipped the Five-colored Stone immediately, and a layer of five-colored light enveloped him.

This Five-colored Stone was clearly very compatible with the Five Elements Master profession.

Xiao Jie politely said, "Brother Feng, won’t you stay a few more days?"

"No need," Feng from Wind Forest Fire Mountain’s tone instantly became indifferent.

Without further pleasantries, he left with his team.

Xiao Jie had intended to warn him about the danger of the Yin Tide, but seeing this reaction, he shook his head.

Forget it, let him be.

Beep beep, his phone suddenly rang, indicating a message. Xiao Jie glanced at it and saw his own payment had arrived.

Opening his bank account, and seeing the long string of zeros, Xiao Jie couldn’t help but smile.

One million just like that? It suddenly felt a bit unreal.
