"We must have misunderstood what you meant, young man. He meant that the total of ten thousand top-grade spirit stones for the group of us was ten thousand, not ten thousand for each of us. Am I right?" The black-haired Immortal Emperor smiled slightly and explained.
“That’s right, how could young brother possibly want so many top-grade spirit stones? It must have been a slip of the tongue,” another yellow-haired Immortal Emperor chimed in.
How could this young man possibly ask for such a high price? The other Immortal Emperors also unanimously believed that Gu Changqing must have made a slip of the tongue and misspoke.
"You heard me right, I said ten thousand top-grade spirit stones. You can sit if you want, or leave if you don't. You should hurry up and discuss it," Gu Changqing said with a sneer.
Gu Changqing isn't a philanthropist; he won't let them get away with it for free, nor will he indulge them.
Upon hearing this, the nine Immortal Emperors showed expressions of disbelief, their faces darkening and turning grim.
They had originally planned to get something for free, but they miscalculated. They couldn't get something for free and had to pay so much for the boat ride, which made them quite unhappy.
Although they weren't short of 10,000 top-grade spirit stones, they just didn't want to spend that many. They originally thought that giving a few spirit stones as a token would be enough, but they didn't expect him to ask for 10,000 top-grade spirit stones. To put it bluntly, it was no different from highway robbery.
But now they were in a dilemma.
After all, they had already agreed to pay with spirit stones, but now they were complaining that it was too much. It would be too embarrassing to refuse to take the boat, but they didn't want to spend so many spirit stones if they did.
"Have you thought it through? If you're not going to take the boat, I'll just sail away." Gu Changqing said nonchalantly.
"There's no need to hesitate, I'm willing to offer ten thousand top-grade spirit stones," the Yellow-Haired Immortal Emperor said without hesitation.
"Same to me, it's just ten thousand spirit stones, no big deal." The black-haired Immortal Emperor said with a forced smile, pretending to be relaxed.
"Since that's the case, I have no objection, and I'm willing to contribute as well," the golden-haired Immortal Emperor said with a smile.
Seeing this, the other Immortal Emperors didn't say much. Although it hurt their wallets, they didn't utter a single "no" and each took out ten thousand top-grade spirit stones and handed them over to Gu Changqing.
In an instant, 90,000 top-grade spirit stones appeared before Gu Changqing, glittering and dazzling.
Without saying a word, Gu Changqing waved his hand and directly pocketed the spirit stones.
"Can we take the boat now?" a Celestial Emperor asked somewhat displeased.
"Alright, please board the boat." Mei Niang pretended not to see anything, smiled slightly, and said politely.
Several Immortal Emperors then excitedly boarded the ship.
Upon boarding the ship, the several Celestial Emperors toured the ship one by one, praising it highly.
"This ship is truly magnificent. When will we be able to own such a luxurious and imposing ship?" the Black-Haired Immortal Emperor said enviously.
"What do you think that young man's background is? How does he come to have such a large ship?" the Golden-haired Immortal Emperor asked, full of doubt.
"Who would know? If we had this ship, wouldn't we be able to sail freely anytime? Just thinking about it is awesome," said the White-Haired Immortal Emperor.
“I just sensed that young man’s cultivation level, and he has no cultivation at all. That woman is at the peak of the Great Emperor realm. If we kill them, wouldn’t this ship be ours?” The golden-haired Immortal Emperor said with ill intent, his eyes darting around.
"That's exactly what I was thinking too. I was quite unhappy when he just charged us 10,000 top-grade spirit stones. If he hadn't charged us spirit stones in the first place, I wouldn't have had this idea," the white-haired immortal emperor said indignantly.
"That's right. Although we should pay with spirit stones, his price is too outrageous. It's practically robbery. It hurts to even think about it." One of the Immortal Emperors couldn't help but complain.
"Or we could just go all the way and eliminate them both, since they're no match for us anyway." The Yellow-Haired Immortal Emperor's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The group quickly reached an agreement and began to plot in hushed tones.
...
Little did they know that their words had reached Gu Changqing's ears without being missed.
