Meng Ting was still wondering whether this Li Mu was a young man from another land, but he was so generous that he agreed to buy a servant girl in the early stage of Immortal Emperor for 1 million Chaos Ore without blinking an eye.
When she heard Li Mu calling her, she was also surprised, but soon she returned to her coquettish look and said with resentment, "Hate you, I, a creator immortal, have offended a strong man in the realm of heavenly god for you, and you are still so unfamiliar with me. Just call me Mengmeng from now on."
"Cough~cough~" Li Mu almost choked.
After calming himself down, he said to Meng Ting with a smile, "Haha, Elder Meng, you're joking. This is what I mean. I'm new here, and I don't have enough Chaos Stones. Can you lend me some? Don't worry, I'll definitely return you one in the future."
Li Mu originally wanted to double the price, but after learning that Chaos Stones were so difficult to obtain, he ultimately did not make such a boast.
Meng Ting heard this and said resentfully, "I thought that little brother wanted to confess his feelings to me, and I got excited for nothing."
Li Mu smiled awkwardly but didn't say anything. After all, he was asking for help from the other party and he didn't know what to say.
"Little brother, if you need Chaos Stones, just ask. Why don't you borrow them? Just tell me how much you need. You don't have to pay me back for the Chaos Stones I give you."
"Ahem~ I have to pay it back."
"If you bring this up again, I'll be angry!"
"Uh... well, I'm still short of 1 million."
"What? How much did you say?" Meng Ting turned pale with disbelief.
"One million, haha, actually I still have some on me, but just in case, I need to keep it with me as a backup." Li Mu was a little embarrassed.
"No." Meng Ting's attitude was very firm, without any hesitation. She no longer had the tender look she had just shown towards Li Mu.
"Not one million? Then how much do you have?" Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but still didn't give up.
Meng Ting did not answer Li Mu immediately, but fell into thought, as if she was making a decision.
Li Mu was not in a hurry either. He waited quietly for Meng Ting's reply. At the same time, he sent a message to Kunpeng, asking him to go to other cultivators to think of a solution and borrow as much as he could.
After a long while, Meng Ting took a deep breath and said to Li Mu in a serious tone, "I can give you 1 million Chaos Stones without paying them back, but you have to do something for me."
Li Mu frowned. One million was not a small sum. How could Meng Ting give it to him without hesitation and even told him that he didn't have to pay it back? What she wanted him to do must not be that simple!
As if she had seen through Li Mu's concerns, Meng Ting explained, "It's not convenient to talk about what I want you to do here, but don't worry, this matter will definitely not harm your interests. I'll tell you when the time comes. If you feel that you can't do it, I won't force you. But you have to find a way to return the Chaos Stone to me in the future."
"Okay, I promise you." Since Meng Ting said so, Li Mu naturally had no reason to refuse. At worst, he would slowly find a way to return the Chaos Stone to her.
As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, Meng Ting threw out a Qiankun Ring. Li Mu took it and scanned it with his spiritual sense. There were exactly 1 million Chaos Stones inside, not a single one missing.
"You're just going to give it to me like this? Aren't you afraid that I won't acknowledge it?" Li Mu looked surprised.
"Hehe~, I believe that little brother is not that kind of person." Meng Ting became frivolous again.
Li Mu couldn't help but hold his forehead and quickly moved away from her.
Then he threw the Qiankun Ring containing 1 million Chaos Stones to the Black Wind Emperor: "Now, the person is mine."
The Black Wind Emperor took the Qiankun Ring, put it directly into his arms without even looking at it, then turned around and flew away.
"This is one million Chaos Stones~!" Kunpeng patted his chest with some heartache.
"It wasn't you who paid for it, why are you so sad?" Li Mu said unhappily.
"Thank you so much for your help, my former master. From now on, I will go through fire and water for you. I will also find a way to return these Chaos Stones to you, my master, for the rest of my life!" Qingyao expressed her gratitude repeatedly.
“Come on, you’ve fallen to the realm of Immortal Emperor, what can you use to return the Chaos Stone?” Kunpeng curled his lips.
"This..." Qingyao was speechless and lowered her head and fell into silence.
"Haha, don't think too much. I saved you just out of my own conscience. You don't have to call me master." Li Mu said with a smile.
At this moment, the group of spectators who had been standing far away also ran over and surrounded Meng Ting, flattering her:
"Elder Meng, your Chaos Company is really powerful. The Black Wind Emperor was forced to this point and yet he still swallowed his anger!"
"Nonsense! Who is Elder Meng? What kind of power is Chaos Trading Company? Even if the Black Wind Emperor had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to go against Chaos Trading Company!"
"That's right. Hehe, to be honest, if Chaos Trading Company hadn't moved in, I wouldn't have dared to take risks in Black Wind City! Now it seems that my choice was right. With Elder Meng here, the Black Wind Emperor will definitely not dare to act recklessly!"
…………
"Hehe~, thank you for your praise. If you have the chance, please come to our company more often to take care of our business!" Meng Ting said with a charming smile.
Before entering Black Wind City, Li Mu was a little puzzled. He heard Kunpeng say that the so-called Black Wind Emperor was such a domineering person and was so harsh to his own citizens, so how could he be so enthusiastic towards outsiders? He immediately thought that this was definitely a conspiracy.
However, Kunpeng gave him an explanation. Firstly, it was because the Black Wind Emperor gave too many things, including tax exemptions on transactions, subsidies for Chaos Ore Stones, and most importantly, the huge reward for the competition. The first place winner received 5 million Chaos Ore Stones, which was an absolutely fatal temptation for a powerless cultivator. Secondly, there was a super-large force that moved into Black Wind City, and that force took the initiative to guarantee Black Wind City. This super-large force was the Chaos Trading Company. Merchants valued reputation the most. They believed that if the Black Wind Emperor dared to mess around, the Chaos Trading Company would be the first one to not forgive him. Although the Black Wind Emperor was at the level of a Heavenly Dao God, he could not afford to offend the Chaos Trading Company.
What we saw today further confirmed the strength of Chaos Trading Company and the fear of the Black Wind Emperor. This made the foreign monks feel more at ease. How could they not be excited?
However, Li Mu felt something was a bit strange. Was the Black Wind Emperor really afraid of Chaos Trading Company? Was he giving so much money and giving so many benefits to foreign monks just to change the outside world's view of his Black Wind City? To make Black Wind City prosperous?
But he showed no mercy to the citizens of his city, and he did not even restrain his tyranny in front of monks from other places. Would this change the outside monks' impression of Black Wind City?
If you really have this intention, you might as well be nicer to your own citizens. If your citizens live well, the monks from the outside world will naturally see it, and then they will naturally change their opinion of you.
And the concession of the Black Wind Emperor just now was full of weirdness. Was his behavior like a show? Who was he doing this for?
Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little creepy.
