Chapter 452 Starry Sky Trade
Then the masks on everyone's faces were pulled off, and Gu Qing slowly raised her eyes to look at the people standing on the stage. The man from the Empire was someone Gu Qing was somewhat familiar with, Prince Ali.
She was dressed in a gorgeous and elaborate white outfit.
The 12 people following behind were all in uniform and wore half-face masks, giving them an imposing presence.
On the other side, the people of the Black Domain, though dressed differently, all exuded a strong aura of menace.
The man in the lead was dressed in a black, imposing combat uniform. His hair was a little long, obscuring part of his eyebrows and eyes, but his gaze was sharp.
Her nose was straight and her lips were slightly thin. Gone was her former cheerful and sunny smile; instead, it carried a hint of ruthlessness. Gu Qing bit her lower lip tightly and slowly lowered her head.
Chen Xingheng merely glanced at her. "She's just average-looking, but seems to be quite capable. She's most likely extremely rare."
If that's the case, then the price will need to be discussed.
He crossed one arm, rested his other elbow on his forearm, and placed his fingers on his chin, looking every bit the part of someone waiting to be sold.
The empire's men looked extremely grim. "Please don't go too far. Even if the Black Domain has a fearsome reputation, the empire is not something you can contend with."
The leader had barely finished speaking when another familiar voice mocked him, "Hey! Why are you talking with such a threatening tone? It's making my heart pound."
"How about it? Want to have a go? Let's see if your brother's country is stronger, or if my Black Domain is more powerful."
Although Gu Qing had her head down, upon hearing the voice, a face flashed through her mind: Zhang Ze.
“Ah Ze is facing a prince of the empire. We should show him some respect. If he refuses to cooperate with Liao Juezi, we will have no choice but to ask this lady to go back.”
"Hmm, with a child in tow, I believe her husband will be willing to pay the ransom." Chen Xingheng's eyes darted around, sizing up Gu Qing with a blatant gaze.
Gu Qing was frightened by his gaze and hid behind the God of Wealth in fear. The God of Wealth shrugged impatiently. "Alright, since you two are both interested, then make a bid. Whoever offers the highest price will get it."
"God of Wealth, don't forget our previous promise." Prince Ali was somewhat exasperated; this man was untrustworthy.
"When you did business with me, you should have known that I only care about money and nothing else." He spread his hands, acting like a rogue, which made people grit their teeth in anger.
Prince Ali had no choice but to turn to Chen Xingheng. "I'm willing to give you a seventh-tier plant crystal core. I beg the Dark Lord to be lenient."
Two.
A casual remark made Prince Ali grit his teeth, but he was helpless. If the God of Wealth were on his side, he would have a chance of winning, but that guy was greedy and he was afraid that the other party would offer a high price and snatch the person away.
So, gritting his teeth, he said, "Okay, deal."
Here, she took out an energy box from her spatial storage and slowly opened it. Inside were two light green crystal cores, each about the size of Gu Qing's fist.
The box was then sealed shut, engulfed in flames, and delivered to Chen Xingheng.
The flames were well controlled and didn't burn the box, but the distorted appearance of the outside flames indicated that the temperature of the flames outside was not low.
To everyone's surprise, Chen Xingheng didn't care that his hands were covered in frost. He reached out and grabbed at the ball of flame. The collision between the flame and the frost produced a chilling sound.
The flames were then extinguished, and the box was taken into the other party's hand. The crystal core was opened again, and the box was taken out and examined carefully before being stored in the space.
Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking how quickly he had advanced; he was already at the advanced 2S level. She wondered how much suffering he had endured to achieve that advancement.
"Alright, that won't affect your transaction anymore. We're leaving." Chen Xingheng seemed to have no regrets as he turned and led his men away.
At this moment, the God of Wealth stepped forward. "Don't leave yet. Since you're here, why not witness our transaction?"
The God of Wealth knew that the other party might not be interested in a normal trade when they saw that they brought the Twelve Knights of the Empire, a high-level combat force. That's why they were ambiguous about the Dark Emperor's intervention.
If these people leave, not only will I be unable to complete the transaction, but I may also become part of the transaction.
Chen Xingheng naturally understood the other party's intention, so he stopped and looked back and forth between the two groups of people with an expectant gaze.
Prince Chen Sheng of Ali spoke up, "Perhaps we shouldn't do it. After all, this transaction should be kept more discreet."
