Chapter 184: Helpless Lei Zhen (Please Subscribe!!)

Lei Dianying and the others were all stunned for a moment.

Just now, the momentum with which Jiang Yan spoke those words.

Almost made Lei Dianying and the others believe Jiang Yan would really do that.

But hearing Jiang Yan say this, Lei Dianying and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was just guidance...

Seeing Lei Dianying regain her composure and no longer remain in a withdrawn state, Lei Zhen happily stepped forward and embraced Lei Dianying.

"Ah Ying, you have finally awakened."

Lei Dianying paused, looking around at everyone.

"I am...?"

"You seem to have been beaten into withdrawal by me; look, everyone is here to guide you."

Jiang Yan's tone was calm, but his words were anything but ordinary.

Indeed, the moment he finished speaking, Lei Zhen and the others glared at him.

Lei Dianying had barely recovered; what, do you want to beat her back into withdrawal again?!

"I apologize..."

Lei Dianying also seemed to realize that her previous loss of composure had caused worry for Lei Zhen and the others.

"But can I really still..."

As Lei Dianying spoke, her eyes dimmed once more.

If a single Tianquan of Liyue could beat her into this state, does she truly still have the qualification to guard Inazuma?

"Why not?"

Jiang Yan suddenly spoke, drawing the attention of those around.

"Being able to force me to use the Dual Star state is enough proof of the terror of that strike of yours."

"You must know, even the Geo Archon never made me activate this move."

That statement was indeed true.

Because when Jiang Yan sparred with Morax, he had not yet obtained the Dual Star.

If one were to say Lei Dianying fought Morax...

Hmm... a four-six split.

After all, Morax had the support of the faith of the vast populace of Liyue.

Recalling Morax's Starfall, which was like a small asteroid, Jiang Yan could not determine who was stronger between Morax and Lei Dianying.

However, it did not matter; in any case, the two of them would not fight.

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, light finally returned to Lei Dianying's eyes.

"Really?"

Lei Dianying asked.

Jiang Yan smiled and nodded.

This gave Lei Dianying a little confidence.

"Very well, since you have recovered, then..."

Jiang Yan turned his head and looked at Lei Zhen.

"What we must discuss now is the matter between our two nations."

"I wonder, Lord Lei Shen, what are your thoughts on my proposal?"

What Jiang Yan referred to was naturally the introduction of Mora as a universal currency for use in Inazuma.

For these days, both sides had been deadlocked over this matter.

Lei Zhen's delay in making a statement had also kept the negotiations in a stalemate.

"Sigh... Tianquan, do you think I have any right to choose?"

Lei Zhen sighed, her tone finally showing some flexibility.

Jiang Yan's own formidable strength, combined with Liyue's flourishing military power, also gave Lei Zhen a sense of powerlessness.

Furthermore, the defeat of the top combat power placed the Inazuma side in a weaker position.

After all, whether comparing national strength, military power, financial resources, or top combat power, Inazuma was inferior to Liyue, which had developed continuously for over three hundred years.

Even if Lei Zhen wanted to refuse, Jiang Yan's side would likely force Mora to flow into Inazuma anyway.

One could hardly implement isolationism right after founding a nation...

It truly verified that saying: a weak nation has no diplomacy.

"Hmm... after careful consideration, it seems there truly is none."

Jiang Yan chuckled, looking as provoking as one could possibly be.

"Sigh."

Lei Zhen sighed, her expression toward Jiang Yan complex.

If this Tianquan of Liyue were ours in Inazuma, how wonderful it would be...

In that moment, Lei Zhen even had the thought of wanting to keep the other person here.

But alas, Jiang Yan was born in Liyue.

"I will agree to your proposal at tomorrow's negotiations..."

Finally, Lei Zhen still spoke these words.

After speaking, she seemed to have lost all strength, her appearance somewhat listless.

Because she knew that her concession this time would mean that Inazuma's economy would be controlled by Liyue.

The inflow of Mora is not merely a simple practical tool for trade.

Once Mora is fully accepted by Inazuma, it will be too easy for Liyue to impose economic sanctions on Inazuma.

And this is exactly what Jiang Yan wants.

"Heh, my lord Raiden is indeed a sensible person."

At this moment, in the eyes of Raiden Makoto, Yae Miko, and the others, Jiang Yan was as detestable as a great demon king!

They wanted to resist, yet were powerless.

Because the hero Raiden Ei had already told them through personal experience.

The man before them was not something Inazuma could contend with.

Jiang Yan suddenly drew close to Raiden Makoto; the hot breath of a man, accompanied by the faint fragrance of Glaze Lilies, entered Raiden Makoto's nose.
