Chapter 381 You've Considered It
"I have a deal I want to make with Lord Xu. I wonder if Lord Xu is interested?"
The Dragon Queen looked at Xu Ming and spoke slowly.
Xu Ming became curious: "I am willing to listen attentively, and I will definitely bring back your Majesty's words to Wudu."
Xu Ming felt that it was most likely a transaction between Wu State and Beihai Dragon Palace.
The Dragon Queen shook her head and said, "This is not a deal between the North Sea Dragon Palace and the Wu Kingdom, but a deal between me and you. It has nothing to do with your Wu Kingdom."
"Hmm?" Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, looking at the Dragon Queen in disbelief, wondering if he had heard it wrongly, "Your Majesty, a deal with me?"
Xu Ming couldn't figure out whether someone of his level and identity could be what the Dragon Queen wanted.
The only thing on him that the Dragon Queen would consider valuable was probably his Red Sleeves Sword.
But I have never shown the sword to her, so how would she know?
If the other party really wants my sword, I definitely cannot make this deal.
I want to refine Hongxiu into my destiny flying sword. If I hand Hongxiu over, what will I use? "That's right." The Dragon Queen nodded, "Doesn't Lord Xu want the Linglong Pearl?"
Xu Ming: “Yes.”
"I can personally take out the Linglong Pearl for you, but Lord Xu must promise me one thing." said the Dragon Queen.
"Your Majesty, please speak frankly." Xu Ming was already alert in his heart.
There is a saying that goes - free is often the most expensive.
If I were to go to the abyss of the North Sea to get this Linglong Pearl myself, I would feel more at ease even if it meant risking my life.
At least I think there will be no problem with this Linglong Pearl.
But if the other party really wants to give it to you, you have to be careful. You have to consider whether you can afford the price they ask for.
"It's not that difficult." The Dragon Queen said calmly, "My North Sea Dragon Palace is still short of an attendant. You just need to stay in my North Sea Dragon Palace for ten years. During these ten years, the North Sea Dragon Palace will provide all the training resources that Lord Xu needs, and it will definitely not be less than what Wu Kingdom provides. How about this deal?"
Xu Ming: “.”
The position of Qijiulang had different meanings in different dynasties.
In some dynasties, this official position was responsible for taking care of the emperor's daily life, while in some dynasties, this official position was mainly responsible for drafting the emperor's edicts.
As for the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas, Xu Ming had learned about it. The position of Jiujiulang was actually a kind of historian, who was specifically responsible for recording the Dragon Queen's every word and action as well as some daily life matters.
Some even went a little too far, and the attendants of the four seas would even record which wife the Dragon King favored on one night and which on another night.
To some extent, the position of Jiujiulang was more intimate than taking care of the emperor's daily life.
"Why did Your Majesty choose me to hold this position?" Xu Ming asked.
Logically, this kind of close-range official position should be held by a confidant, and the Dragon Queen is a woman with a sensitive identity, so it is even more impossible for her to allow a man to serve as her attendant.
Not to mention that the other party is a pure love warrior.
The Dragon Queen tilted her head, and her voice echoed in the room: "The reason why I chose you to be my attendant is naturally because of your talent. In our Beihai, there is indeed no one who can compare to you.
Besides, you are a human being, not from the North Sea. It would be more convincing if you were my recorder and recorded my every word and action.
What does it matter if you are a man?"
"." Xu Ming thought that this matter was very important, "Before me, who was your Majesty's attendant?"
The Dragon Queen shook her head and said, "Before you, I didn't have an attendant, and indeed no man had served in my inner palace. You are the first.
But you are the second man who is so close to me."
Xu Ming: “.”
Xu Ming naturally knew who the first one was. The first one was his old lover, who has not been found yet.
"I don't understand." Xu Ming shook his head.
The Dragon Queen also seemed very patient: "What do you not understand?"
"I don't think I'm anything special. Your Majesty is keeping me here just because I have talent?"
Xu Ming didn't believe that his talent was the reason why she chose him.
If the other party was an empress with an immoral life, I could still understand it.
Xu Ming felt that although he was not extremely handsome, he should still be considered a school idol in the university.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Therefore, if the other person is a very hungry woman, it is quite normal for her to ask you to be her lover.
Not to mention that he is a martial artist, which makes him the type that rich ladies would definitely love.
But the problem is, this Dragon Queen is the epitome of innocence! There is no stain on her private life! It is even more impossible for her to keep a male lover.
Not to mention that his looks are above average, even if he were the most handsome man in the world, the Dragon Queen wouldn't even look at him.
"You are right. The reason I let you be the attendant is not just because of your talent. There must be other reasons. But you don't need to know for now. You just need to answer me whether you agree or not." The Dragon Queen's tone was very calm.
Xu Ming thought about it and found an excuse to decline: "Your Majesty, ten years is indeed a long time."
Dragon Queen: "Then five years."
Xu Ming continued: "In fact, I have a lot of things to do."
Dragon Queen: “Three years.”
Xu Ming: "Your Majesty, this is not a matter of time, but..."
"Master Xu, don't be so hasty to reject me." The Dragon Queen interrupted Xu Ming's words, "Master Xu, you can go back and think about it carefully, and find out what is in the North Sea Abyss. When that time comes, Master Xu can come back and answer me."
Xu Ming: “.”
"I am a little tired." The Dragon Queen threw a jade token on the table. Lord Xu, if you have made up your mind, you can come to the palace to find me at any time."
After she finished speaking, the Dragon Queen did not wait for Xu Ming to refuse and continued to lie back on the bed, slowly pulling down the bed curtains.
After hesitating for three times, Xu Ming could only take the jade token and bow to the drawn bed curtain: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will consider it carefully. I will take my leave first."

I discovered one thing, that is, if you are self-disciplined and get up early, you will have a lot more time, and if you don’t play with your phone while typing, you will be more efficient and save more time. ］(End of this chapter)
