Chapter 113: Xu Jiujiu's Enticement!

Upon hearing Xu Jiujiu's words, Xu Nian'an's expression turned strange.

A deal worth hundreds of millions?

How did that sound so odd? Xu Nian'an used his own eyes to look Xu Jiujiu up and down for quite a while.

This caused Xu Jiujiu to slightly close her legs, her gaze fixed on Xu Nian'an with vigilance.

"You... what are you trying to do?"

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an laughed.

What was all this about?

"Didn't you say you had a deal to discuss with me?"

"Why are you asking me instead?"

Hearing this, a slight blush appeared on Xu Jiujiu's cold, small face.

She seemed to have realized her own loss of composure.

She glanced at the guards beside her.

"Excuse me, could the irrelevant personnel please leave for a moment?"

Inside the private room, in the blink of an eye, only Xu Jiujiu and Xu Nian'an remained.

Even Ma Xiaotao, Er Gou, and Xiong Er, who had a beast age of two and a half months, did not stay.

Seeing the other party looking so vigilant, Xu Nian'an couldn't help but become interested.

"Does your Integrated Soul Guidance Device have higher levels?"

"Or rather, is the highest level only Level 3?"

The level of a Soul Guidance Device is related to the capabilities it can unleash.

And the Integrated Soul Guidance Device that Xu Jiujiu auctioned was composed of more than ten Level 3 Soul Guidance Devices; it could be said to be armed to the teeth.

Under such armament, a Soul Elder of the same level would certainly be no match.

Even if they encountered a Soul Ancestor, there would be no need to fear; the boost it brings to a Soul Master is immense.

Xu Nian'an nodded.

"Of course, the Level 3 Integrated Soul Guidance Device is just the beginning for XM; later there will be Level 4, Level 5, and even Level 6, 7, and 8, and we will even launch an awakened version!"

Xu Nian'an laid his cards on the table; the Integrated Soul Guidance Device currently being launched was merely a defective version.

The awakened version was defined as an upgraded version, which meant connecting several Soul Guidance Devices together to become a higher-level Soul Guidance Device.

This was another way to rake in money; how wonderful.

Hearing this, Xu Jiujiu's face lit up with joy.

"Then... then can you mass-produce them?"

The fact that their Soul Guidance Devices could not compare to the Sun Moon Empire had always been a sore point for the Star Luo Empire.

Now that Xu Jiujiu had seen it, how could she not be excited about an Integrated Soul Guidance Device that could rival those of the Sun Moon Empire in the future?

Compared to Close-range Soul Guidance Devices and Remote Soul Guidance Devices, it was clear that the Integrated Soul Guidance Device was more suitable for the current Star Luo Empire.

Due to their heritage, most people in the Star Luo Empire today were Soul Masters, and even if they had contact with Soul Guidance Devices, it was not deep.

And in the eyes of a Soul Master, an Integrated Soul Guidance Device was no different from having an extra resurrection armor.

Having learned that this Integrated Soul Guidance Device not only had a Level 3 version but would also have higher levels, how could Xu Jiujiu not be excited?

Now, there was only one concern left regarding whether this Integrated Soul Guidance Device could be used on the battlefield.

"Can this... Integrated Soul Guidance Device be mass-produced?"

In fact, when she asked this question, Xu Jiujiu already had the result and answer in her heart.

The Integrated Soul Guidance Device looked very impressive, but the number of Soul Guidance Devices required for it was truly not small—at least ten to start with.

They were all Level 3 Soul Guidance Devices; even if a Soul Guidance Master made one a day, it would still take a full ten days to produce one set.

This ratio and this speed destined the Integrated Soul Guidance Device to be incapable of mass production.

Xu Jiujiu asking this question was merely wanting to wait for that non-existent surprise to envelop her.

Hearing Xu Jiujiu's words and looking at her nervous appearance, Xu Nian'an likely knew what she wanted to do and couldn't help but feel the urge to tease her.

"Of course..."

Halfway through his sentence, Xu Nian'an stopped, making Xu Jiujiu feel as if thousands of ants were crawling inside her heart.

Those long, black-stockinged legs beneath her were pressed together, stomping repeatedly.

"Of course what? Say it."

This damned sense of anticipation—it had been a long time since Xu Jiujiu had felt this way.

This was simply toying with her, a grave crime that could get someone dragged out and sliced a hundred times in the Star Luo Empire.

"Of course it can; otherwise, why do you think I spent so long promoting it in the Douling Empire and the Star Luo Empire, making it known to everyone?"

Xu Jiujiu's face first showed astonishment, followed immediately by wild joy.

"Re... really?"

Looking at Xu Jiujiu's excited appearance, Xu Nian'an laughed.

He suddenly felt that this Star Luo Empire princess was quite silly.

On what grounds did she assume that he would definitely trade with the Star Luo Empire and that he would definitely provide them with equipment?

"If all this is true, then... then that would be just great. Welcome to the Star Luo Empire, Major General!"

Xu Jiujiu earnestly extended both hands toward Xu Nian'an.

Ma... Major General?

Join the Star Luo Empire?

Looking at those fair, tender hands, to be honest, he really wanted to get his hands on them, but unfortunately...

However, if he were to stake his future life on this and disrupt his future plans, it wouldn't be worth it.

After all, the ambition of Xu Nian'an would by no means stop at Major General; if he just kept muddling along like this, at the very worst, he would still end up a Prince.

If things went well, he might even be able to unify Heaven Dou once again.

Should he get hot-headed, go be a sycophant for Xu Jiujiu, and pour his heart and soul out for the better development of the Star Luo Empire?

Sorry, if that is truly what Xu Jiujiu means, Xu Nian'an can only say he is sorry.

Is Ma Xiaotao not good enough, is Jiang Nannan not tender enough, is Zhang Lexuan not fragrant enough, or is Ye Yihan not soft enough?

"I'm sorry, the Douling Empire is the place that gave birth to me and raised me; here I have my dearest friends and family... given my status, I cannot do things that would betray my motherland."

Hearing this, the face of Xu Jiujiu turned pale.

If Xu Nian'an had told her that the Integrated Soul Guidance Device could not be supplied to the Star Luo Empire before she had investigated everything clearly, perhaps Xu Jiujiu would not have been so sad.

But when she had investigated everything clearly, and the Integrated Soul Guidance Device was about to become the key to the rise of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Nian'an told her that he could not provide the Star Luo Empire with the Integrated Soul Guidance Device?

Was he playing with her?

Just as Xu Jiujiu opened her mouth, wanting to argue a bit more, the voice of Xu Nian'an rang out leisurely once again.

"You'll have to pay more!"

Hearing this, Xu Jiujiu instantly raised her head.

Surprise instantly suppressed the look of sadness in her mind.

"You... what do you want?"

Looking at that expectant face of Xu Jiujiu, her probing eyes, and the delicate appearance of her small body.

Xu Nian'an suddenly became interested again.

"You, I want you."

These four words made the heart of Xu Jiujiu tremble violently, and her small face instantly turned incomparably red.

Her pair of long legs had long since curled into an inward-pointing stance.

Xu Nian'an smiled and controlled his Spiritual Power to push his wheelchair and turn around.

When saying these words, Xu Nian'an was carrying three parts amusement, five parts seriousness, and two parts playfulness.

Still the same point: taking down Xu Jiujiu and requiring the Star Luo Empire to take that Ten-thousand-year Soul Beast Embryo (Xue Di) as a dowry, so he wouldn't need to pay any money to bid for it, was very profitable.

He could also achieve his own goal; furthermore, with this branch of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, plus the bloodline flowing in his own body, even when he unified Heaven Dou in the future, he could justifiably have Star Luo send troops to reinforce him, right?

Regarding this matter, Xu Nian'an did not expect Xu Jiujiu to give an answer instantly, because as a princess of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, her own life's major events were not hers to choose.

"Wait, I agree!"

Just as Xu Nian'an was about to leave the private room, Xu Jiujiu spoke up.

Her face was full of seriousness, but Xu Nian'an smiled and began to shake his head.

"No, you cannot make the decision on this matter yet."

Hearing this, Xu Jiujiu became anxious.

"I will report to my Imperial Brother when I return, but you must guarantee that we, Star Luo, will be the same as the Douling Empire, and that the Integrated Soul Guidance Device will be sold to us at the same time."

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an did not say anything more, but silently extended his right hand.

"Definitely!"

The two hands clasped; the touch was cold, smooth, and delicate, with tiny beads of sweat.

【Ding, congratulations to the Host, the favorability of the goddess Xu Jiujiu towards you has increased by ten!】

【Reward: Military funds of one hundred million Gold Soul Coins, Level 9 Soul Guidance Device: Nuclear Peacemaker. (Little Girl)】
