"Haha, you can try it."
Xiao Chen met the old man's cold gaze and smiled slightly.
“…”
The old man stared at Xiao Chen, anger rising in his heart.
If Xiao Chen was not very powerful, he would not have discussed it with Xiao Chen at all, but would have killed him directly and taken the Jade Buddha back.
It was precisely because he was afraid of Xiao Chen's strength that he discussed with Xiao Chen and asked him to return the Jade Buddha after he had used it up.
But this kid is so ignorant and still asks him for benefits!
Swish!
As a golden light appeared, a strong murderous intent filled the hall.
Xiao Chen held the Xuanyuan Sword in one hand and a cigarette in the other: "Have you made up your mind?"
“…”
The old man looked at the Xuanyuan Sword and his eyes narrowed.
After all, he is the King of Siam, so he still has some vision.
He could tell at a glance that this knife was unusual and was a magical weapon!
"Okay, I can tell you, but... this is a secret of my Siamese royal family. You have to promise not to tell anyone."
The old man suppressed his anger and said coldly.
In the end, he didn't dare to try it.
"Haha, of course. I'm a very particular person."
Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Chen smiled brightly.
"I promise, it won't be spread out."
"good."
The old man nodded and calmed himself down.
"Now, can you put the knife away?"
"Oh, haha, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just want you to appreciate our Chinese magic weapon."
Xiao Chen smiled and put away the Xuanyuan Sword.
The old man looked at the Xuanyuan Sword disappearing out of thin air, his eyes flashing, is it a storage magic weapon?
This kid is full of treasures.
Not only are there magical weapons, but there are also magical storage devices... In addition, he also gained the power of life.
Thinking of the power of life, the old man felt greedy, but he forced himself to suppress it.
"Congratulations."
Xiao Chen put out his cigarette and suddenly said something else.
"Congratulations to me? Congratulations to me for what?"
The old man frowned, somewhat confused.
"Congratulations, you made the right decision."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"No choice...take action."
“…”
The old man was just not in the right condition, otherwise he would have broken his teeth.
"I'm serious."
Xiao Chen smiled again.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Master Shanmu. I easily defeated the Nava God... In addition to the Xuanyuan Sword, I have another trump card, which is aimed at beings like you."
"What's the trump card?"
The old man was shocked.
"Haha, now that the trump card has been revealed, can we still call it a trump card?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"I have encountered many powerful spirits, such as the gods in the island nation's shrine, the wolf gods of the werewolf clan, including the spirit of the blood emperor of the blood clan after his self-destruction, and the god Nawa... without exception, I destroyed them all."
After listening to Xiao Chen's words, the old man's originally solid body became a lot more illusory and trembled a few times.
He was obviously shocked.
"Don't be afraid. I have given up on you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been on good terms with the royal family."
Seeing this, Xiao Chen smiled even more.
"In fact, when I sensed your presence last night, I was really moved... I devoured your soul and made myself stronger."
“…”
The old man's face changed. This kid actually had his eyes on him?
"Okay, I won't scare you anymore, let's talk about something serious."
Xiao Chen stood up.
When the old man saw Xiao Chen's action, he subconsciously took a step back.
After he retreated, he felt a little embarrassed. Does this... mean he was afraid?
"Haha, don't be afraid, I told you. I just want to have a good discussion with you."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Haha...Okay, well, let's just sit down and discuss it. You don't have to come over."
The old man forced a smile. Now he no longer had the murderous intent and pressure from before.
He was afraid that Xiao Chen would get close, so he would use his trump card and kill him.
Therefore, keeping a certain distance will give you a sense of security.
"Oh, all right."
Xiao Chen nodded and sat down again.
"Then let's get started."
"good."
The old man nodded and briefly explained his current condition, including why he could sense the outside world.
"Tell me more details..."
Xiao Chen was a little dissatisfied. Who was he trying to fool?
“…”
The old man's hands on the armrests of the chair were obviously put a lot of force, which showed that he was very annoyed.
But even though he was annoyed, he still explained it in detail, including the cultivation method of his royal family.
"When the soul becomes strong enough, can it be released?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"We Chinese have a term called 'divine consciousness', which is similar to what you said."
"almost."
The old man nodded.
"My spiritual power can cover the area of the palace..."
"Speaking of which, let me ask you again, are you not allowed to leave the palace grounds? Or this room?"
Xiao Chen looked at the old man and asked.
"You must answer."
"I cannot leave the palace."
The old man hesitated, but still spoke.
"The farther I am from here, the weaker I am... The Jade Buddha Temple is on the edge of the palace, and my strength is greatly reduced, so the monk king will not suspect that I am deliberately not doing anything."
"So that's how it is."
Xiao Chen suddenly realized.
"How much stronger are you than the monk king?"
"Over the years, the power of this generation of monk kings has skyrocketed. Now I can hardly suppress him... Therefore, the robbery of the Jade Buddha is beneficial to the royal family!"
The old man said slowly.
"Although I am still stronger than him now, I am too limited..."
"Understood."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"In the palace, you are better than him, but you can't leave here..."
"Xiao Chen, I think we can work together."
Suddenly, the old man looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"I heard that you don't have a very good impression of Buddhism. This time, you helped to connect with the Dark Church because of the royal family, not Buddhism."
"Yes, I do have a bad impression of Buddhism, but...how do you want to cooperate? I said, I will not help the royal family and Buddhism to fight against the Holy See of Light. This time I plan to watch the fun."
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette.
"I'm not asking you to fight the Illuminati, but to deepen cooperation with the royal family to check and balance Buddhism."
The old man said seriously.
"Now, I alone am not enough to make the monk king and the Buddhist sect wary. If there is you..."
As the old man spoke, his eyes lit up. This was an idea that had just occurred to him, and now he seemed to think it was more feasible.
Xiao Chen is strong enough to shock the Buddhist sect.
As long as you are willing to cooperate with the royal family, the royal family will be stable.
After listening to the old man's words, Xiao Chen understood that this was the plan.
"Haha, I help the royal family to intimidate the Buddhist sect, what are the benefits?"
“…”
The old man was obviously a little speechless. Why did he ask for benefits all the time?
"I'm a very realistic person, and our friendship hasn't reached that point, right? As the saying goes, talking about money hurts feelings, and talking about feelings hurts money... Let's be realistic. If you tell me the benefits, maybe I'll agree."
Xiao Chen said seriously.
"this……"
The old man frowned, as if thinking about something.
Xiao Chen was not in a hurry. He smoked a cigarette and thought about it in his mind.
Given the current situation and pressure of Buddhism, it is impossible for it to do anything to the royal family.
The monks are still counting on the royal family to help fight against the Holy See!
So, he agreed and didn't need to do anything...at least not in the short term.
But the benefits are real.
This business is worth doing and it won’t lose money.
Now it depends on what benefits this old guy can come up with.
"The 9th King of Siam has a little daughter who is only a few years older than you. I think...she is a good match for you."
A minute later, the old man said to Xiao Chen.
"What? Cough cough cough..."
Xiao Chen was choked by the smoke. Little daughter? A good match for me?
What the hell is this.
He wants benefits, not women!
"Marriage is the most solid cooperation. She is a princess. If she marries you, you will be a member of the royal family..."
The old man was serious.
"Wait, you don't think this is the benefit, do you?"
Xiao Chen was speechless.
"I don't lack women."
“She’s very beautiful.”
The old man added.
"It's useless to be beautiful. I'm not interested."
Xiao Chen was annoyed.
"Don't mention marriage. I hate this stuff."
"Okay, let me think about it... You really don't want to consider it? You become the son-in-law of the royal family, and we join forces. It's a win-win situation."
The old man was a little disappointed.
"I won't consider it. Besides, this isn't a strong alliance. I'm just helping the poor and your royal family."
Xiao Chen curled his lips.
"Poverty alleviation... Then we can give you a lot of money, a lot..."
The old man said hurriedly.
Bang!
A pile of gold bricks appeared in the hall, smashing the ground.
"Do I need money?"
Xiao Chen asked as he stepped on piles of gold bricks.
“…”
The old man looked at the gold bricks in front of him and said nothing.
At the same time, he was quite surprised, not because of so many gold bricks, but because the space for storing magic weapons seemed very large.
Otherwise, Xiao Chen would not carry so many gold bricks with him.
Seeing that the old man stopped talking, Xiao Chen felt very happy. He just liked the feeling of showing off his wealth... Giving money? Who are you looking down on!
"How about a king of a different surname? Not only a king of a different surname, but also the treasury of the Siamese royal family is open to you... You can take whatever you want."
The old man thought about it and made the final decision.
"In addition to gold, silver, jewelry, and antique collections, there are also many cultivation techniques, which are the heritage of the royal family."
"That's more like it."
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up slightly.
He is not very interested in whether the king is of a different surname or not, but opening the treasury shows some sincerity.
Although he couldn't plunder everything like he did in the island country's royal treasure room, going in and taking a look at the cultivation techniques would also be a considerable gain.
"I just need your promise to protect the royal family for a hundred years."
The old man continued.
"What? A hundred years?"
Xiao Chen was a little speechless.
"That's a long time, isn't it? Are you so sure that I can live to be over a hundred years old?"
"If you die, our cooperation will naturally be cancelled."
The old man said.
“…”
Xiao Chen was speechless. The old guy didn't know how to chat.
"But I believe that you will live to be a hundred years old... With your strength, it's easy to live to be over a hundred years old."
The old man continued.
"Unless... you were killed by someone."
"Okay, you're the one who got killed."
Xiao Chen was annoyed.
"You just said protection? Isn't it just to check and balance the Buddhist sect?"
"Yes, it is protection."
The old man nodded.
"In fact, our cooperation is more like gambling. I'm betting on you. After all, I can't guarantee whether you can really protect the royal family for a hundred years, or whether you can live a hundred years later... If you are gone in three to five years, then we will lose a lot, right?"
