They looked each other up and down, face to face, very carefully.
In Lin Mo's eyes, the old man in front of him had a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, and was bald for more than half of his head. He looked like a monkey that had not yet fully evolved.
With looks like that, Lin Mo already had a good idea of what kind of person his daughter would be.
"He's probably an unevolved chimpanzee."
As for the Su clan chieftain, Lin Mo's hair was wet, and his clothes were messy and dirty from the mud he had traveled along the way. His attitude was, to put it mildly, as if he were being stared at a monkey in a zoo—it was incredibly strange.
In addition, the Su chieftain wanted to see what the King of Shu looked like beforehand, but he was discovered and almost got chopped down by Xu Chu with an axe.
These factors are combined...
Simply put, the two disliked each other intensely.
Out of courtesy, Lin Mo pulled himself together and became respectful once again.
The Su chieftain withdrew his disdainful look and put on a professional fake smile.
"My name is Su Zhongxiang!" the Su chieftain introduced himself.
"Xiang?" Lin Mo felt disgusted because he thought of a meme from Earth.
"My name is Lin Mo. It's a pleasure to meet you."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the tense and exciting bargaining session began.
Su Zhongxiang didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "Your Highness, I heard you want to marry my daughter?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Lin Mo thought to himself, "Otherwise, why would I come to this godforsaken place? To enjoy the nourishment of the rain and dew?"
Suppressing his emotions, he forced a smile and said, "Yes, Your Excellency Chieftain!"
"Oh? Why?" Su Zhongxiang asked. "I've heard that the Great Xia Dynasty has many beautiful women, and Your Highness is a man of both literary and military prowess, a hero and a great man who is rare even in a century. Why do you think of marrying my daughter?"
"You son of a bitch!" Lin Mo cursed inwardly, "Do you want me to tell the truth? Your old daughter is so old and ugly that no one wants her. For the sake of my subordinates, I have no choice but to reluctantly have sex with her?"
The abalone, moist and salty, is crunchy and delicious!
However, Lin Mo eventually went along with the other person's topic and began to flatter them, "Dragons mate with dragons, phoenixes with phoenixes. My queen must be a peerless beauty, stunning to all, and of noble lineage!"
Upon hearing this, Su Zhongxiang's expression softened considerably.
"It seems to be having some effect," Lin Mo thought, "but it's a bit against my conscience."
Su Zhongxiang smiled and said, "My daughter is beautiful, that goes without saying. But it's not as exaggerated as Your Highness makes it out to be!"
"Holy crap, you're still so shameless?" Lin Mo thought to himself.
With your own appearance, how could you possibly give birth to the stunning beauty I described? You actually took my casual flattery seriously?
However, in the end, Lin Mo could only awkwardly force a smile and wave his hand, "Chief Su, please take a look!"
Yao Guangxiao had inquired about the gift beforehand and then told Lin Mo.
To be fair, the Su chieftains were also warriors who spent their lives on the battlefield and loved swords.
So Lin Mo spent 100 points to exchange for one in the points shop.
The moment Su Zhongxiang opened it, his eyes lit up. "This...it's too valuable!"
"A precious sword for a hero, Chief Su. This is just a small token of my respect!" Lin Mo said as he took a precious sword.
With a buzzing sound, he suddenly drew his sword, its blade flashing, immediately attracting Su Zhongxiang's attention.
"Wow!" Su Zhongxiang exclaimed in surprise, "This sword... is too..."
This sword is made of pure steel, nearly half a foot longer than a common one-handed longsword, but shorter than a two-handed greatsword, its size falling somewhere in between. Its tip is extremely sharp, allowing for both thrusting and slashing, and three deep blood grooves are carved into its blade.
The end of the hilt is a pale white stone sphere, with lead added inside to balance the weight of the sword. The sphere is carved into the shape of a roaring tiger, with two small rubies for its eyes.
"This sword is called 'Longquan'. It is made of pure steel and can cut through stone."
Lin Mo introduced, "Now, it's presented to Chief Su!"
If a girl is powerless against gemstones, then Su Zhongxiang would obviously find it hard to resist the allure of such a precious sword.
Moreover, Lin Mo had other gifts as well!
"Hehe, you can't give gifts in odd numbers, I have more here," Lin Mo said. "I also heard that you like to drink, so I specially prepared a few bottles of good wine."
With a wave of his hand, his subordinates brought up bottles of fine wines from Earth, which had been redeemed through the system.
“This is a 1982 Lafite! Red wine, a specialty of my hometown, you've definitely never tasted it before,” Lin Mo explained. “Look, this red wine is like fresh blood…”
Su Zhongxiang was so excited that he couldn't speak.
“And this, Maotai with a soy sauce flavor!” Lin Mo continued, “This is Liuliangye, this is vodka, this is tequila, this is Scotch whisky, and this is called Rémy Martin…”
Seeing bottle after bottle of fine wine made Su Zhongxiang's blood boil with excitement.
He loves wine, just like an LSP loves beautiful women.
"Your Highness, you're being too kind!"
"Hey, please don't say that! We're practically family," Lin Mo said. "We might very well become family, so don't be so polite. Drink up, and I'll have someone bring more if you need more!"
Su Zhongxiang was very excited, "Then thank you very much, Your Highness."
"Haha, may I ask, Chieftain, about this matter of mine?"
Su Zhongxiang stroked his beard and continued, "With Your Highness's looks, talent, and ability, marrying my daughter isn't impossible!" He added, "However..."
Holy crap, not enough? You want more? You're insatiable!
Su Zhongxiang said somewhat embarrassedly, "I cannot act solely for my own selfish reasons, after all, I am the chieftain!"
"Alright, I'll give you some face!" Lin Mo thought to himself.
