The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1071 - 1070: Exchange of Conditions

"No, still not okay. I need to take a few people. How about I pick a few and you keep the rest?"Tang Rao found it amusing to haggle with the Hell Dog Shark. If this guy could negotiate once, he could negotiate twice.

Once you grasp the character of the Hell Dog Shark, everything else becomes much simpler.

"There are only a dozen or so people here. How many do you want to take?"

While Tang Rao thought there was a chance, others didn't think so, especially those who had offended Tang Rao earlier.

"Except for the one who told me to stay, I want to take them all. You don't have any objections, do you?"

Whoever wanted Tang Rao to stay, Tang Rao would make sure to repay them double, letting them know he was not easy to talk to.

"What? Why leave me behind? You're actually the weakest one here. If anyone should stay, it should be you, not me!"

Thinking he was something due to being the Hidden Immortal Emperor, he felt that it ought to be someone else left behind, not him.

"No way, just one person is too few. No way."

The Hell Dog Shark wasn't stupid. No matter how you negotiate, you don't leave yourself without any advantage.

"Then two? Three? You can't just leave me with everyone, right? The food I have here contains Purple Crystals, which can enhance your strength and quickly elevate you to the Third World. Surely you don't want to be a guard here forever, never moving up?"

Tang Rao was bluffing. At this point, he just said whatever came to mind, without considering the consequences.

Little did he know, his random words truly struck a chord with the Hell Dog Shark.

"You're saying your stuff contains Purple Crystals?"

The Hell Dog Shark suddenly got excited, and the swing of his tail sent water splashing, nearly knocking everyone over.

"Yes, did you think my great-grandfather got to the Third World without relying on Purple Crystals?" Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⚑fire.net

Tang Rao was telling such a convincing lie that he almost believed it himself. Let alone the Hell Dog Shark.

"Leave all the food, and I'll let you go. But if any of you deceive me, you'll regret it."

The Hell Dog Shark would know if there were Purple Crystals once he ate the food.

"Then swear it. You know as well as I do that oaths by you celestial beasts aren't credible and will attract divine retribution."

The Hell Dog Shark thought a few lies might fool Tang Rao, but that was absolutely impossible.

"I swear, I swear. As long as you give me food with Purple Crystals, I'll let you explore the endless sea. Deal?"

The main thing was the offer was too tempting. The Purple Crystals of the Land of Immortals were rarer than even the numbers of Hidden Immortal Emperors, and for celestial beasts aiming for the Third World, enough Purple Crystals were essential.

What did it matter if they risked their lives for Purple Crystals?

"Here you go. We agreed you would let us go. You won't go back on your word, right? Once I find what I'm looking for, I could even help you find some Immortal Stones. Deal?"

Besides food, he could also offer Immortal Stones?

The Hell Dog Shark almost thought he was dreaming. Such a good thing happening to him.

"Deal, of course. Give me the stuff first."

The Hell Dog Shark withdrew part of the light beam, granting Tang Rao freedom. He believed that just from speaking those words, the Hell Dog Shark would definitely regret it and would, even at the risk of divine retribution, try to keep Tang Rao and the others once he got what he wanted. But it was different now. Tang Rao claimed he had more Purple Crystals, implying more benefits later. Eating a little food wouldn't get him to the Third World; perhaps more might work?

"Take it, but let us go first, Brother Shark. I know you're true to your word, right?"

Tang Rao was sweating nervously. If not for being forced by the Hell Dog Shark, he wouldn't have taken out the Purple Crystal from the Little World, ground it down and mixed it into roasted chicken and wolf meat.

"Remember your words. If you don't provide Purple Crystals, I'll take your life!"

The Hell Dog Shark had said all he needed to say.

"Relax, big brother. I'm true to my word. We're all heading to the Third World eventually. You're much stronger than me, so why worry about me running away?"

Those words from Tang Rao served as reassurance for the Hell Dog Shark, who happily let Tang Rao and his group go.

"Hold on. I said we could go, but some people I'm not planning to save."

Tang Rao reminded the Hell Dog Shark.

"Is it this person, then? I'll just leave him!"

The Hell Dog Shark opened his massive jaws, and with the agreement with Tang Rao, the first thing he did was tear the Hell Dog Shark to pieces, and the crimson blood spread out and then vanished.

"We're off now, see you later!"

Tang Rao, having come to an agreement with the Hell Dog Shark, left energetically.

His actions served as a lesson for those remaining. Those willing to sacrifice others to save themselves would receive the lesson they deserved.

"Tang Rao, you're still the best. Just stringing a couple of sentences about Purple Crystals like that managed to fool those people. I couldn't do it if it were me."

Even Uncle Zhou, a seasoned veteran, was not as skillful as Tang Rao in handling these matters.

"Who said I was bluffing? Are you going to compensate me for that piece of Purple Crystal?"

Tang Rao complained to Uncle Zhou through a voice transmission.

"Purple Crystal? I thought you were bluffing. Do you really have Purple Crystals?"

At Uncle Zhou's level, knowing about Purple Crystals wasn't surprising, but knowing Tang Rao actually had them was.

At a crucial moment, Tang Rao was still willing to use a piece of Purple Crystal, earning Uncle Zhou's admiration.

"Unfortunately, Purple Crystals are rare and elusive. If I had known you had them, I'd have risked it all for a chance against the Hell Dog Shark. Who knows when or if I'll see one again?"

Uncle Zhou felt quite dejected.

"Tang Rao, do you have any more Purple Crystals? I'm willing to exchange everything I own if you'd be willing."

Everything from Uncle Zhou, a Hidden Immortal Emperor?

Tang Rao couldn't even fathom it.

He wanted badly to boast, "No, I won't. I, Tang Rao, lack nothing that you'd offer." But he couldn't. The brothers from the Kao Shan Sect needed Tang Rao's continued support.

"I have two small pieces of Purple Crystal, a gift from Jing Jing's great-grandfather. One went to the Hell Dog Shark, and I'll give one to you. I'm weaker than you and don't know when I'll make it to the Third World. You must honor your word. If I give you the Purple Crystal, you must give me everything you own!"

Even if Tang Rao didn't say it, Uncle Zhou would leave all his possessions to Tang Rao. Did you think having just the Purple Crystal was enough? You also need the bloodline; Uncle Zhou would need Tang Rao's bloodline guidance to eventually ascend to the Third World.

"Everything is yours—my residence, my Immortal Stones, everything I have."

Uncle Zhou's generosity made Tang Rao realize once again the importance of the Purple Crystal he held.
