Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 1343 - 1343 1329 Bargain

Chapter 1343: Chapter 1329: Bargain Chapter 1343: Chapter 1329: Bargain “Establish a good relationship and open a window,” Meng Xiuluo continued, “Such an opportunity is very rare, and once it’s missed, it won’t come again.”

“Oh, it’s our opportunity, is it?” Shi Chengyuan sneered.

Meng Xiuluo said, “We have already spread the news for people to come and help. However, due to the situation on the Island of the Wicked, our people have scattered to avoid entanglement with the Thirty-six Islands. That’s why they couldn’t immediately come, but this is only temporary. We will return sooner or later, and you must accept the existence of the Dragon Slaying Clan. We came to you for fear that those we are worried about might run into trouble, so in a way, it’s an opportunity.”

Ye Chen really couldn’t understand this girl; was she here to ask for help or to offer an opportunity? It was truly confusing. And she was full of tall tales; she had called for help from the people around her, but why would anyone from the Dragon Slaying Clan care about him? Apart from the Thirty-six Islands, there were also people from the Immortal and Demon Realms coming, and they had long since fled to save themselves.

Seeing Shi Chengyuan not as agitated, Meng Xiuluo continued, “You must know why we were stranded on Slaughter Island. I sank my ship to rescue Longhun. Longhun has already escaped and it’s not suitable for him to show up now. If you help and rescue my people, Longhun won’t be grateful to you. How could that be? They are my brothers. If you help me, how could I forget such a kindness?

I heard that you have long wanted to become the master of Slaughter Island, but the condition our Island Master set was for you to submit to us, which you didn’t accept. If you help us with the rescue, whether successful or not, I will be grateful to you. In the future, if there’s a chance, I might even speak well of you to Longhun. You should know that I rescued Longhun from a tight encirclement; he might not take my words lightly.

Indeed, there might come a day when the Dragon Slaying Clan returns and under my influence, he may agree to help you become the master of Slaughter Island without your submission. For our Dragon Slaying Clan, missing one island’s submission isn’t a big deal.”

Her words really tempted the Scorpion Witch.

“Last time, they gave you a severe beating. I heard you were prepared to take revenge on Zang Di. Why not take this opportunity to join hands with us?”

“Join hands? How many can you spare?” Shi Chengyuan did not change his blunt tone.

“Right now, we have only about thirty people on hand, which indeed might seem insignificant. But if we rescue those who were caught, that’s more than a hundred people.”

“More than a hundred people can eradicate Zang Di?”

“They are helpers nonetheless. Don’t you need helpers?”

“Hehe, so now it seems you are helping us, aren’t you?” Shi Chengyuan said with a hint of mockery.

“Not really, we’re just cooperating to open up space for a bigger cooperation in the future. I think it’s worth considering.” Meng Xiuluo felt there was no need to continue. She had already said enough; if they were smart, her words should suffice to enlighten them. If they couldn’t be enlightened, no amount of talking would change that.

The Scorpion Witch indeed planned to give Zang Di a proper thrashing, which was long overdue. They had always been scheming but didn’t know how to start. Through this opportunity, if they could bind with the Dragon Slaying Clan, it might not be a bad thing.

With Longhun’s escape, the chances of unifying the one hundred and eight islands were very great. If that’s the case, it’s better to use this opportunity to foster a good relationship with them.

Shi Chengyuan was all bluster, but the Scorpion Witch knew he didn’t really think that way.

“Well, I’ve said enough. Whether you help or not, we’ll still have to save ourselves. We can’t just let them be killed off.” Meng Xiuluo knew begging was useless; if they were not receptive, no amount of talking would help. She called out, “Cheap thing, get up. It’s time for us to leave.”

Ye Chen was stunned. She was actually leaving just like that, actually going without even a hint of pleading, yet he wanted to ask for her help. And she even dared to call him a cheap thing; how had he become a cheap thing?

Suddenly, the Scorpion Witch called out, “Could you give us some time to discuss it?”

Well, it seemed the Scorpion Witch was somewhat receptive.

The Scorpion Witch pondered. The girl mustn’t be simple. Being able to rescue Longhun from a siege was proof enough. With that companion by her side, they came to discuss with quite an air of authority. She looked young and might be mistaken for a naive girl, but her conversation revealed her to be experienced.

Indeed, the Scorpion Witch had long wanted to find a way to collaborate with the Dragon Slaying Clan, but there had never been a chance. Moreover, she wasn’t sure if they could defeat Ling Li, who was aligned with the Immortal City Sect.

In recent times on the one hundred and eight islands, Ling Li was the dominant force, constantly seeking Longhun. She didn’t know if Longhun was a match for Ling Li. But, she believed the situation would soon change. Given that Longhun had obtained the Sacred Spirit Stone and with enough time, he was bound to succeed in his research. Then, how could Ling Li possibly be a match for Longhun?

So she should take this opportunity to cooperate with the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan, offer help when they need it most, which is always better than courting favor without it. In the future, if the Dragon Slaying Clan regained control, going to them then might not earn their respect. It was different now; the Dragon Slaying Clan was seeking their help. If she really managed to save the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan, she would have leverage with Longhun, who would at least give her some respect.

Meng Xiuluo gave them the name of her inn, “If you’re interested in cooperation, come find us at the inn tomorrow morning.” She spoke confidently, as if she held a winning hand, but in reality, it was all just a show. How could she not hope for help, which would greatly increase the chances of success?

But she knew that when dealing with such people, being too eager wouldn’t work. They would then take the initiative and keep negotiating conditions. She wasn’t that naive.

Of course, she also knew the people of the Demon Clan were interested in collaborating with the Dragon Slaying Clan, having always wanted to but never finding the opportunity. That’s why she could be so confident.

Ye Chen had to admit he was somewhat impressed with the girl. He hadn’t expected her to actually succeed. She was indeed no ordinary girl.

They quickly left.

On the street, Meng Xiuluo told her few followers to leave first.

Suddenly, only Ye Chen and Meng Xiuluo were left.

Ye Chen asked in confusion, “Did you really send a message to the Dragon Slaying Clan people asking them to come over?”

Meng Xiuluo looked over and said, “I thought you were smart, but it turns out you’re just like those two bird brains.”

“What do you mean by that?” Calling him cheap goods, he hadn’t even settled the score yet.

“Would they consider it if I didn’t say so? The Dragon Slaying Clan people won’t possibly come. With all thirty-six islands and the forces from the Immortal Demon Realm gathered here, why would we stay?”

“So you were just bluffing them.”

“I was giving them a chance.”

Ye Chen laughed out loud, actually a bit worried. If she had really called for Longhun’s people to come, he would still need to find a way to contact the people from the thirty-six islands and the Immortal Demon Realm. However, one thing was certain, he needed to stay vigilant. Who knew if this girl was still eyeing his Wolf King’s Ring? Even though he had saved her life, he couldn’t fully trust her just because of that.

“How did I become ‘cheap goods’ in your eyes?”

“With your martial arts skills, you’re still cheap goods, doesn’t that work even better to deceive them?”

“I’m not your cheap goods.”

“You are cheap goods. When others need you, you come running at a call. In their eyes, you are nothing more than dispensable, cheap goods.”

“Is that really so?”

“You’ve been helping the Immortal Demon Realm so much, what have you actually gained? They are still contemplating how to snatch the Wolf King’s Ring from you, to kill you under the pretext of eliminating a threat. You helped the Immortal City Sect clear a misunderstanding, when you called for their help on the ship, they pretended not to see, and instead, they launched a few more fireballs, sinking my ship even faster.” As Meng Xiuluo talked, she felt a bit hungry and headed towards the food street opposite. She said, “We need to eat something.”

Her words really left him speechless, “What they think is none of my business.”

“I thought all your efforts would yield you something in the end, turns out you got a few fireballs.” His words were mocking. Although he was not on Paper Kite Island, he had heard about the affairs of the island. Ye Chen tried everything to help the Immortal City Sect clear the misunderstanding.

It indeed felt a bit like being cheap goods.

Ye Chen said, “I never thought of getting anything out of it.”

“That’s why you are cheap goods!”

“Right, quite cheap.”

“Let’s eat some late-night snacks before we talk.”

“We are supposed to be enemies, right? Can enemies sit down and eat together?” Ye Chen asked with some doubt.

“Do you want to rescue your girl or not?”

“They should help us, I guess.”

“Who knows, didn’t you hear everything?”

“I think at that moment, you should have immediately agreed to enter into a marriage alliance with him. I believe they would have agreed to help us without a second word.”

“You’re joking with me, right?”

Ye Chen gave a forced smile.

“That old guy, with more than a dozen wives at home, he can flip a new card every day, yet he’s still not embarrassed.”

She seemed to really despise those who were not faithful.
