"Is this the sincerity that your Qingquan Empire Ruocheng speaks of? If you have such a lack of trust, then it seems there's no need for my Shengyao Empire to reconcile with your Qingquan Empire. If we fight to the death, which city will suffer in the end? I'm sure you, the city lord, understand this very well."

Ruocheng City Lord: "!!!"

A threat, this is absolutely a threat!

This is absolutely outrageous!

He gritted his teeth, wiped away his tears, and said, "I'll go get you the medicine right away!"

He figured that if he went to get it himself, he could secretly keep some for himself.

As a result, this idea was immediately thwarted by Kwon Ji.

Quan Ji: "I'll go with you, don't try any tricks."

Ruocheng City Lord: "..."

You're such a clever little devil!

He gritted his teeth, yet there was nothing he could do.

This is what it means to be weak; you have no human rights and can only be openly and honestly oppressed.

Immediately, he glanced at the man on the ground who had attempted to assassinate Princess Quan.

He kicked the man hard.

"You blind fool! If anything happens to my Qingquan Empire, you will be a sinner for all eternity, do you know that?!"

However, the man just rolled on the ground clutching his stomach, without saying a word.

Quan Ji watched this scene with a smile on her lips.

This is the simple, unpretentious life of a poor, glorious man who lives by robbing... no, by being "given" by others.

Don't prick it with a needle.

After arriving at Ruocheng's underground warehouse, the group selected 90% of the high-quality medicinal herbs before leaving, leaving behind some herbs that were completely unacceptable.

If the city lord's heart is bleeding!

He reassured himself: It's okay...it's okay, these days will be over soon. Now, take good care of the Holy Glory Empire, otherwise, the whole city might be wiped out if we're not careful!

This Saintly Glory is really shady... no, this Saintly Glory is really good at diplomacy.

Quan Qingchi, who witnessed the entire process, was completely dumbfounded.

This... this is how they managed to swindle 90% of Ruocheng's medicinal herbs?

So easy?!

hiss--

His sister is truly terrifying.

Quickly finish your notes, so you can learn from his sister and start lying... no, I mean, doing diplomacy.

...

The next morning, before dawn.

The people of the Holy Empire wake up early for their habitual morning run.

Since there was no imperial palace here, they ran around the edge of Ruocheng's city walls.

You don't know until you run away, and once you start running, the people in the city are practically staring in disbelief.

The soldiers of the Holy Glory Empire were so impressive when they ran; they were perfectly aligned, each one standing tall with confidence, giving off a very impressive and spirited appearance.

If the city lord was so angry that he didn't sleep all night, he couldn't take his eyes off this scene.

He seemed to suddenly understand why the Holy Glory Empire was so powerful.

At that moment, a shadow appeared behind him, covering half of his body.
