After assessing the situation, Li Hui naturally didn't dare to look at people with his chin raised like he did just now, and his speech speed unconsciously slowed down.
Although Ling Yuan disliked this person, she did not want to embarrass either of them. She had already analyzed the pros and cons thoroughly. Even if what she said might offend others, if Li Hui had any brains, he would not pursue her fault.
With this confidence, Ling Yuan stopped making trouble and said to Li Hui politely: "As long as Lord Li doesn't embarrass us ordinary people, we are willing to cooperate."
Li Hui smiled awkwardly, "The little girl really should not be underestimated, haha, the adults in Fengchi taught her well, taught her well!"
Unexpectedly, Ling Yuan retorted rudely, "How could he teach me well? My father didn't do anything except contribute his sperm. I am so beautiful when I grow up."
With an innocent look on his face, Ling Wuya who was standing beside him had a smile in his eyes. This child, after not seeing him for a few years, has become more irritable and he has even learned to play tricks on people.
Ling Yuan's bold remarks immediately made Li Hui feel embarrassed, but he couldn't say much and could only agree awkwardly.
"Yes, yes, the girl is naturally beautiful and extremely smart. So, can we calm down and talk now?"
Ling Yuan raised her chin proudly, "Of course, Lord Li, please tell me, as long as it's not too demanding, I will try my best to satisfy you if I can."
You talk as if you are so generous. Li Hui curled his lips speechlessly. He did not forget that this girl's temper is not so easy to deal with.
"Look, I am also a subject. We came here with the imperial edict. Although you have your reasons and your temper, all of this is meaningless in front of the imperial edict. Girl, you are not alone now. There are hundreds of people in Fengchi Villa. You have to be careful, right?"
Li Hui didn't want to threaten her, but Feng Yan was obviously not easy to deal with. In desperation, he could only play his last trump card, the imperial edict from the Dragon Empire. You can't just reject it, little girl, right?
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ling Yuan didn't seem surprised at all, and even boldly stretched out her hand to him: "Where is the imperial edict?"
"I haven't read it out yet!" Li Hui was speechless about his shortness of breath. He had called himself 'I' before!
"What are you reading? Will his status be elevated if you read it? Isn't he still the emperor of the Dragon Empire? To put it bluntly, this imperial edict is useless to those of us who are not afraid of death."
"Tsk, do you really think you can cover the sky with one hand? I tell you, this is retribution that has not yet come. If it really comes, I will first kill you conscienceless villains!"
Li Hui: …
Ling Wuya held his forehead with his hand, "Yuan'er, can you be more low-key? Even if you are fearless, you can't insult the emperor like this, right?"
This emperor is not the emperor of the Four Continents, he is from the Dragon Empire!
Li Hui covered his chest, feeling that he was about to become insane and have a heart attack because of this little girl. He stood up tremblingly, looking at Ling Yuan with a pale face, "Hey, girl, can you, listen to me, and finish what I want to say?"
Ling Yuan seemed to realize that she was only concerned with momentary pleasure and forgot that there were several living people sitting here. She turned her face away guiltily, and when Li Hui was not paying attention, she stuck out her tongue at Ling Wuya.
Ling Wuya gave her a helpless look and said to her, "Little girl, considering your young age, we won't bother with these words. I hope you can be more considerate of your identity in the following process. The saying "disaster comes from the mouth" is never just a saying, Mr. Li, don't you agree?"
Li Hui was almost fainted by Ling Yuan's anger. When he heard Ling Wuya's words out of the blue, he snorted coldly, which was regarded as his agreement.
Ling Wuya quickly made a gesture to Ling Yuan, who subconsciously curled her lips, looking unwilling. In the end, for the sake of her adoptive father, she bowed to Li Hui and the others, "In this case, I would like to thank you two adults for not taking my fault into consideration."
"Alright, alright, if we argue with you, wouldn't that mean we would lose our status? Little girl, I want to ask you, are you really unwilling to hand over the prescription?"
Ling Yuan grumbled in anger, "I don't want to hand it over, but you have to be willing, right? You said it was voluntary, but you are clearly forcing me to hand it over. If I don't hand it over, you will say I am disobeying your order. If I hand it over, I will be unhappy. What do you want me to say?"
The corners of Li Hui's mouth twitched twice. This little girl is choking people to death.
But every word she said hit the mark, leaving him with no ability to refute, and he immediately spoke in a muffled voice.
"Girl, there are some things that you just need to know, you don't need to point them out, you don't need to say them out loud, you can't be so serious in life,"
"I know that people should be hypocritical. I only say nice things to deal with you, right? Tsk, do you really think I'm stupid? I'm not stupid. I just don't want to be that kind of mean person. Okay, I understand what you mean. It's not impossible for you to have my prescription, but I have a condition."
Li Hui saw that there was a way, and immediately said to her: "You tell me, as long as I can satisfy you, I will definitely agree to it."
"Don't you need to ask your emperor for instructions?"
"Little girl, you are really not cute!" Li Hui raised his beard and really had no temper at all.
"I'm an invincible, shining, beautiful girl. Why do I need to be cute? Just being beautiful is enough."
"Well, listen carefully to my condition. There is only one, that is, to unconditionally meet the food and grass supply for our Four Continents for the next three years until we can be self-sufficient."
"During this period, you cannot refuse us or threaten us in any form or for any reason. You must give us whatever we want. As long as it is not too excessive, you must meet it. If you agree to this condition, I will give you the prescription immediately!"
Three years, three years should be enough time for the Four Continents to regain their former vitality.
During these three years, they need to use most of their time to transform the environment and have no time for planting. At this time, with the supply from the Dragon Empire, they can free up enough space for development.
"It's impossible to give you whatever you want. The Dragon Empire is not your granary. We also have people to feed. Although there are only a few people left on your continent, this is still a huge expense. If you are allowed to have whatever you want without any scruples, then what will we become?"
Ling Yuan stroked his chin and thought for a while, and felt that it made sense. If the people of the Four Continents were to become lazy and gluttonous because of this, it would be a loss.
"Well, after I review the specific figures, I will give you a specific amount. Do you think this is okay?"
It was rare for Ling Yuan to be so reasonable. Li Hui nodded happily, "That's great, very good."
"That's easy. You give me the food and I'll give you the recipe. But I won't agree to let me go to your empire. You'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible."
"Also, thanks to you, I am afraid that my name has spread far and wide. I am probably jealous of others now. I'd better keep a low profile, otherwise my life will be in danger one day!"
"So you, a girl, are also afraid of death," How could Ling Yuan not hear Li Hui's sarcasm?
"Everyone is always afraid of death. It depends on how they die. If they die at the hands of a villain, wouldn't that be a shame? But if they die for their country and their people, their story will be remembered for generations."
"As the saying goes, everyone is mortal since ancient times, but I will leave my loyalty to history. I am just a little girl, Feng Yan, and although I don't have such lofty ambitions, with my current influence, I can be more careful. It's better to be careful and guard against villains rather than gentlemen, Lord Li?"
Li Hui looked at Ling Yuan deeply, the shock in his heart was like a raging storm that could not be calmed for a long time.
"Little girl, I never thought you were so smart at such a young age. No wonder you have achieved what you have today. I admire you so much!"
Ling Yuan chuckled and said indifferently: "Forget the compliments. I can't say I'm insightful. At most, the world makes people play tricks on them. In troubled times, heroes emerge."
"Although I am not a hero, I also know that people who grow up in adversity are far more likely to achieve success than those who grow up in a smooth environment. Lord Li is the prime minister of a country. I don't think you need me to explain such a simple truth, right?"
"You are absolutely right, little girl. I am ashamed. I have lived for so many years, but I still don't understand as well as a little girl like you!"
Ling Yuan laughed at himself, "When the Dragon Empire reaches this point, you will be like this too. No one wants to live this kind of life. Isn't it because they are forced to do so? Now that we have come to this, I wonder if the Prime Minister is still sure of my conditions?"
"Since you don't want to go, then don't go. I will explain this matter to the emperor in person. But girl, you can't ask for too much food!"
Ling Yuan estimated the number in her mind and reported it to Li Hui, "This is so much in one year, it shouldn't be too much, right?"
Li Hui immediately made a secret estimate. If we calculate that each person consumes 600 kilograms of food per year, then there are less than 50,000 people left in the Sifang Continent. That means 30 million kilograms of food per year, which is not a small number!
"I can promise you, but the prerequisite is that there is only food and nothing else."
The Dragon Empire does not have any extra supplies of vegetables and fruits.
Li Hui agreed readily, and Ling Yuan naturally did not hesitate: "Deal, here, this is the prescription, and there are also 10,000 antidote pills. I will send someone to deliver them to you later."
Li Hui didn't expect that this girl was actually a person of temperament. He immediately looked at her with appreciation and said, "Okay, little girl, you are quite straightforward. I like it. In this case, do you think we can also remove the poison of the beast?"
On the surface, the poison of the lustful beast is not as scary as the zombie poison, but if it spreads, it will be terrible enough to destroy the foundation of humanity. In comparison, it is more brutal than the zombie poison and must not be taken lightly!
"So, Lord Li's ultimate goal is the poison of the beast, right?"
Ling Yuan pointed it out bluntly, which made Li Hui feel a little embarrassed, but the poison was so terrible that he immediately gave up all his face and dignity.
"Since the young lady has said so, I will not hide it. That's right, the poison of the beast cannot be left unchecked any longer. Since the young lady has been able to research the zombie poison, it is obvious that the poison of the beast will also produce results soon. What we have to discuss now is the poison of the beast!"
Ling Yuan laughed and shook his head at Li Hui. "I'm sorry, I don't have time to study that thing now. Even if I did, I would not give your Dragon Empire any benefits or promises before I confirm who is behind this."
"After all, this crisis still comes from your Dragon Empire. I think that at this time, your Dragon Empire should carefully review whether Long Kun's remaining followers have been wiped out in one fell swoop!"
Another sentence hit the mark, and Li Hui's expression changed immediately: "You already know?"
"Do you need to know this? There are many connections between zombie poison and beast poison. Anyone who knows a little bit about medicine will find out. But, I am very curious, who is the person who can make you so scared?"
Li Hui frowned, "Little girl, it's better not to know so much. Since you are already prepared, that's the best. We will continue the investigation of the beast poison, but I still hope that the girl can experience it more dispersedly."
"After all, in this age of the jungle, even if you can control the zombie poison, you may not be able to eliminate the lust beast poison. What if they use you as an experiment again? Will there still be a way to survive in the Four Continents?"
