Huanlu stood up and stared at him, giving him a glare. She wasn't really in the mood for excitement anymore; the price was too high.
"I am the Jade Emperor. Give me five hundred taels of silver and I will grant you a place among the immortals."
The man thought Huanlu didn't believe him, but actually she was just trying to play the part. He should just say goodbye and not take it to heart, Eighth Prince. You need to remember what your original purpose was!
