"Welcome!"
As soon as the door of the hall was opened, Li Shu saw a woman sitting on the main throne, and under the throne stood dozens of men and women, like her most loyal guards.
The queen looked at him disdainfully, then turned her gaze to Huo Wei standing beside her. She chuckled and said, "Marshal Huo, long time no see. I wonder what brings you here."
Huo Wei had no intention of being polite to the other party and directly expressed his thoughts, "I came here this time to ask you for a favor."
The Queen raised an eyebrow. "Marshal Huo, are you kidding? You're a marshal of the Empire, and you're asking us pirates for help?"
Huo Wei's expression remained calm and composed, and he only stared at the queen with his indifferent eyes. After a while, the queen finally relaxed and said in a deep voice, "You know the rules here. If you want to ask me for help, you have to pay the price!"
Huo Wei's expression was also exceptionally calm, and he said in a deep voice, "As long as you want it, as long as I have it!"
"Good! Great!" The queen patted her thigh lightly, then stepped down from the throne and said with a smile, "In that case, I can send people right away to help Lido Planet solve the problem. Similarly, you have to kill this man!"
The queen said this, pointing to Li Shu beside her.
Before Li Shu could react, Huo Wei's face turned ugly in an instant. He reached out and hugged Li Shu in his arms. His calm expression was tinged with a bit of anger. He said in a deep voice, "You're dreaming!"
The queen snorted coldly, "Didn't Marshal Huo say that you would give me whatever I wanted? Why are you denying it right after you said it?"
Huo Wei's face was gloomy, but he still spoke word by word, "Li Shu is a human being, not an item that can be exchanged at will, so he is not within the scope of our transaction!"
"Tsk, Marshal Huo's words sound nice, but I'm afraid they're also because of his ability."
Ever since Li Shu started buying and selling plants, his fame has spread throughout the galaxy. Everyone knows Li Shu's abilities. Now he is a hot commodity in the galaxy, and any force wants to get him.
The Queen was the same. She sighed softly, then turned her gaze to Li Shu and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, this matter has something to do with you, so I also want to ask about your choice. Do you want to go with us?"
"As long as you come with us, don't worry. We will provide you with food, clothing, housing and transportation according to the highest standards. At the same time, we will also help you solve the problem of Liduo Planet. How about this condition?"
When Huo Wei heard the other party's conversation, the hostility in his eyes became even stronger. Li Shu suddenly grabbed Huo Wei's hand to comfort him and ease his rage, and then raised his eyes to look at the queen beside him.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
The queen was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and continued, "It's my fault. It's been so long that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Su Peiyao, and Mr. Li can call me Peiyao."
As he said this, he winked at Li Shu.
Li Shu remained unperturbed by the beauty before him. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Miss Su, you should know the environment of the planet Lido. The air there is fresh, the environment is beautiful, and the climate is suitable. It is a very suitable place to live."
"Although the people of our planet Liduo cannot be said to be completely kind, they are definitely friendly and amiable. So, Miss Su, would you like to join us on Liduo Planet?"
Su Peiyao was stunned when she heard this, and then she couldn't help but look at Li Shu with amusement, "I asked you to follow me, and now you want to recruit me. You are indeed Huo Wei's disciple, you are so brave!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Su, but I sincerely invite you to live on Planet Lido."
Li Shu smiled faintly and continued, "As long as you settle on the Lido planet, you won't have to travel far and wide anymore, and you can also..."
Before he could finish his words, Su Peiyao interrupted him, "Alright, let's stop talking about the impossible. Let's talk about why you came here to ask us for help."
Su Peiyao said, crossing her arms across her chest, "Although our Yaoguang Star Pirates may not seem large, we are well-equipped and have everything we need. Right now, the only thing that can impress us is Mr. Li's plants that can reduce the danger of star beasts."
"But now, Mr. Li is clearly unwilling to leave with us. In this case, our cooperation cannot take effect. Therefore, I'm afraid we can't complete this transaction."
Su Peiyao spoke very fluently, "So, both of you, please come in."
"Who said we can't trade?" Li Shu hurriedly spoke when he heard Su Peiyao's voice.
Huo Wei wanted to say something, but after hearing Li Shu speak, he immediately chose to remain silent and watched Li Shu and Su Peiyao talk quietly.
"Ms. Su, I'm already a native of the planet Lido, so I'm sorry I can't leave with you, but that doesn't mean we can't negotiate!"
"Don't you want those supernatural plants that can reduce the risk of danger? I can give them to you. As long as you agree to help us repel the star beasts, we can sign a treaty. I can provide you with plants for free for fifty years, giving you ten thousand plants every day. You can eat them or sell them as you like!"
"Similarly, if you can gather a group of space pirates like yours to help, I can also sign a contract with them. However, their contract is for 25 years, and similarly, they can only produce 5,000 plants per day."
When Su Peiyao heard this, she felt eager to make a move. She was also a star beast. Although her danger rate was hovering around 40% now, if there were no plants, she would become a wild beast that had lost all her sanity in at most thirty years. This was definitely something she did not want to see.
Moreover, many of her brothers and sisters, as well as their families, have already turned into star beasts and cannot be transformed back. If this contract is signed with Li Shu, then all her brothers and sisters will be able to return to normal.
But, I don't think it's a solution to be constrained by the other party like this.
She glanced at Li Shu obscurely, wanting to take Li Shu away, but the thought just flashed through her mind and was thrown out of her mind.
Although she and Li Shu had not known each other for long, she could see his character through this simple conversation. If she insisted on forcibly capturing him, not only would she fail to achieve her goal, but she would also offend Huo Wei. This kind of thing that would lose both the wife and the army should not be done!
