Chapter 236 Pies and Traps
"Pah!" Long Ba took out a jade token and threw it to Zhong Ling'er. "This is the Dragon King's Jade Token. You don't trust us, so you can't even trust the Dragon King?"
Zhong Ling'er picked up the jade token and played with it for a while. This jade token was naturally real, otherwise the human cultivators and master would not have believed it so easily. In the world of immortal cultivation, it was very common to fight for life and death in order to grab resources. That was why no one had doubted anything for such a long time. However, the urgency of these two people clearly showed that the matter was not simple.
It's impossible to hide, so just try to get more benefits.
Zhong Linger returned the jade order to Long Ba with a smile, and pulled her sleeve and acted coquettishly, "Sister, of course I trust you, don't be angry, you really want me to participate in the Five States Competition, but you can't convince me like this, do you want me to teach you what to do?"
Long Wu and Long Ba looked at Zhong Ling'er in shock. They must have heard it right. Zhong Ling'er wanted to teach them how to convince herself. She was really good at talking. It would have been better for her to just directly state her conditions.
"You might as well just say it."
Zhong Ling'er put her hands behind her back and said seriously, "When you hire someone to do something, you have to cater to their preferences. I have three preferences, one of which is beauty. But I already have my third senior brother, who is the most beautiful woman in the world of immortal cultivation. It's hard for you to find someone more beautiful than him, so you can give up on this."
"Second, I love food. I have tried everything that flies in the sky, walks on the ground, and swims in the water. The only thing I haven't eaten is the meat of mythical beasts. And among all the mythical beasts, the one I want to eat the most is dragon meat."
Long Wu and Long Ba immediately took two steps back, looking alert. No way, they just wanted to kill these people, but these people were even more brutal and wanted to eat them.
"Do you have a dragon that has committed a serious crime and is to be executed, or a dragon corpse that has just died? This bribe will be very useful to me."
The two dragons shook their heads at the same time. "Dragons are so sacred and noble, how could they allow themselves to be eaten by humans? Don't even think about it."
Zhong Linger sighed in disappointment, "Then let's talk about the third one. The third one is my favorite wealth, which actually means good things. You said you have immortal inheritance and some magical treasures, but you are too embarrassed to show them to us, so they are probably not that good."
"But you have to understand that my current worth is very high. People who come to me for battle formations from the North State to the South State line up. There are plenty of people who will give me whatever I want. So if you want to convince me to participate in the Five States Competition, you have to be practical. Playing tricks won't work on me."
"Look, in the East Province Competition, the winner will have a spiritual vein and the right to manage the city, and I don't need to mention how many good things I received in the secret realms. And in the Godfall Battlefield, I got the land under your feet and countless merits. So, if you want to attract me, you have to come up with something more than these, or at least not worse than these."
The corners of the two dragons' mouths began to twitch irregularly. Zhong Ling'er's appetite was too big. They didn't know what benefits she had gained in the Dongzhou Competition, but they knew clearly what she had gained in the Shenyun Battlefield. Their dragon clan was crazy. It was impossible for them to give away land and treasures in such a generous way.
But obviously, the huge profits from the God's Fall Battlefield have fattened the appetites of the human cultivators. It is impossible for them to trick the human race with just their mouths. Whether to use force or increase the stakes, they can only go back and ask the Dragon King for the decision.
"Little Junior Sister, we understand your thoughts. Please allow me to go back and discuss with our king before I reply to you."
Zhong Ling'er waved her hand and said, "Brother, go ahead and discuss it. We are not in a hurry."
After seeing off the two dragons, Xuanyuan Hongyuan, Xiao Haotian, Gu Yanze and Yuan Ziwei walked out from the back of the house together.
"The human race and the dragon race have always kept to themselves. They shouldn't be trying to harm us!"
Yuan Ziwei touched his chin and sneered at Xiao Haotian's words.
"They've almost written on their faces that they're going to plot against you, and you're still being naive. I just don't understand, what do they want from us?"
Xuanyuan Hongyuan thought for a moment and said, "I once asked my father, and he said that more than 2,000 years ago, there was a selection of immortals to inherit the throne, and someone did get the immortal inheritance in the end. There are also some records about this in my family. Except for some people dying in the fight for the inheritance, there is nothing unusual."
Zhong Ling'er snapped her fingers. "Tell me, is it possible that they just want our lives, or in other words, they want the souls of the human cultivators?"
Gu Yanze shook his head. "It's unlikely. The dragon race is a race of gods and they don't use evil magic. The human race's spirit is only useful against evil cultivators or demons."
Ouyang Ruochen stood on Zhong Ling'er's side. "Since the cultivators only sacrificed their lives, and they must hold the Five States Competition, then Junior Sister's guess should be correct."
Xuanyuan Hongyuan also said: "It is normal for people to die in the competition for resources, and no one will investigate further, so it is easy to hide the purpose of the murder."
"But no matter what, they are determined to bring us into the game, so we have to prepare early."
Several people nodded. Zhong Ling'er sighed, "There is no such thing as a free lunch. There are traps everywhere on earth. The ancients were right. We all need to be careful, don't be greedy, and remember that our lives are important."
Gu Yanze teased, "Junior sister, can I interpret your words as: The dragon clan sent a big pie, Junior sister, can you dig a trap on the ground?"
Thinking about the consequences if the Dragon Clan did what the junior sister said, several people laughed. This pie in the sky might really fall into Zhong Ling'er's trap.
Long Wu and Long Ba felt that the matter was of great importance, so they had to immediately set out back to Nanzhou, and then headed south all the way into the South China Sea.
The Dragon King was very surprised at the return of the two men. After hearing the report, he was so angry that he smashed the whole table.
"You are said to be the rare geniuses of the Dragon Clan in the past thousand years, but you can't even handle such a small matter. You are really useless."
A fat figure stepped forward and said, "Dragon King, calm down. Long Wu and Long Ba are still young, so it's understandable that they didn't do their job well. You wanted them to exercise, so it doesn't matter if they didn't succeed. I'll go take a walk."
The Dragon King suppressed his anger and said, "Then I'll have to trouble the Prime Minister to make the trip."
Long Ba wanted to remind the Prime Minister that the human cultivators were very vigilant, but was stopped by Long Wu. He wanted to see whether it was because of his own lack of ability or because the human cultivators had become less easy to fool. He wanted to know what went wrong.
Zhong Ling'er devoted herself to the construction of the branch altar. When she finished setting up the teleportation array in Beizhou, Duoyin Pavilion asked her to set up a city protection array and a spirit gathering array. After counting, the entire Duoyin City involved ten kinds of arrays, which was enough to give people a headache.
Bai Luochen smiled warmly, "Junior sister, didn't you ask me to stand up? You can't just say this, you have to work hard!"
