Chapter 25: Transactions
The breeze, flowing clouds, and the starry sky decorated with stars.
Under the full moon, the Dragon Clan warships sailed slowly on the waterway from the demon capital to Wanshou Mountain.
On the deck, the shrimp soldiers and crabs were patrolling back and forth.
In the cabin, several night pearls radiated soft light, illuminating the already small space. In addition, the decoration of the Dragon Palace was already magnificent, and for a moment, it was a little dazzling.
The Nine-Headed Cymbus sat upright at the long table, eating meat and drinking wine in big mouthfuls, as if no one was around. The empty dishes at hand were piled up, and the maid in the kitchen still delivered the food one by one.
On the other side, Ao Tingxin and Nuannuan sat quietly, watching the Nine-Headed Insect.
A maid quietly walked behind Ao Tingxin and whispered: "Your Highness, the food in the kitchen may not be cooked..."
Before he finished speaking, Ao Tingxin reached out to stop her and continued to say, whispering: "Just send it from the Dragon Palace in an expedited manner. It's not a problem."
"No." The maid was lucky and left.
Hearing this, the Nine-Headed Cymbi slightly raised her head and looked at Ao Tingxin, smiling, and was still chewing food in her mouth.
After a while, the Nine-Headed Clock swallowed all the food in her mouth and drank a big sip of wine. Then she smiled and sighed: "I have been on the warship, but I have never been on the warship with such a good thing. The Dragon Palace is indeed a good place, rich in the world. Good wine and good food, and I can't lack anywhere. Hehe, it's not bad. If I weren't the name of the number one wanted criminal in the Heavenly Court, I would have thought of the Dragon Palace becoming an official."
"Okay, okay, my father and I..."
Before Nuannuan could finish her words, Ao Tingxin glanced at her expressionlessly. After this glance, Nuannuan had to swallow all the words to her mouth, lowered her head, and dared not say anything again.
With that polite smile, Ao Tingxin looked at the Jiutou Worm who was still eating, saying, "If Elder Nine-headed wants good wine and good food, no matter where you are, Tingxin should give it to him. It is too insulting to say that he is an official."
Nine-headed worm squinted his eyes and smiled, "Don't you be 'in', are you and I 'in'?"
Ao Tingxin still maintained that polite smile, staring at the Nine-Headed Cymbidium quietly without responding.
Seeing this, Jiutou laughed out loud and said, "Just kidding, don't mind. I've eaten your food for so many days, right? Hahahaha. Of course, I can still get a little friendship, but it's not deep."
As he said that, Jiutou straightened his waist, loosened his muscles and bones a little, and sighed: "Oh... I haven't been active for many days, I've eaten well and slept well. I'm comfortable, but I'm not used to it. How many days will I have to go to Wanshou Mountain?"
"The total voyage takes about one month."
"One month has only passed half of it. Are you walking too slowly?"
Ao Tingxin replied expressionlessly: "The ships in the Dragon Palace have always been at this speed. If the Nine-headed Elder feels slow, you can fly over by yourself. It shouldn't take a stick of incense, right?"
"That's definitely not necessary. Although his cultivation level is damaged, it's still okay to fly to the sky. But..." He took a deep breath, chewed the lobster in his hand, and looked at Ao Tingxin and said, "But I hid in you just to avoid the multi-eyed monster? He must have sent people all over the world to look for me, and there was something wrong with it... Don't worry, you helped me, I bought this favor. My Nine-Headed Warlock's favor is not that easy."
After saying this, Ao Tingxin immediately covered her lips and smiled, saying, "Although the favor of the Nine-headed Elder is rare, it is also hot. If Prime Minister Duomei knows that you are Tingxin, I'm afraid that the Four Seas Dragon Palace will not have a good life, right?"
"If you drive me away, you won't have a good life."
"Otherwise, why do you say it's hot?" Ao Tingxin smiled.
The Nuannuan on the side was as quiet as a quail, listening quietly, her eyes kept going back and forth on the two of them.
Swallowed the last piece of meat, Jiutou Cymbus wiped his hands with a napkin, wiped his mouth, frowned and looked at Ao Tingxin, and said seriously: "To be honest, although I suffered some internal injuries, it is still easy to subdue you, the ship's people. However, it is not moral to do this, right? After all, Nuannuan saved me. She saved me, and I held you hostage, which is unreasonable."
"So, let's follow the transaction. The dragon clan is all businessmen, please make a condition. Since you didn't even expose me on the spot, you must still have ideas, so why not talk about it?"
After saying that, the Nine-Headed Cymbus looked at Ao Tingxin and smiled.
Opposite the long table, Ao Tingxin smiled equally.
The two of them looked at each other silently.
After a while, Ao Tingxin whispered: "Nannuan, go out for a while."
"Ah?" Nuannuan couldn't help but be stunned, her eyes frosted back and forth on Ao Tingxin and the Nine-Headed Insect.
"Go out, I have something to talk to your cousin." said Jiutou.
"Oh...oh." Looking at Ao Tingxin, Nuannuan couldn't help but lower her head, stood up, and walked out of the cabin step by step.
The moment the cabin door was closed, a sound-forbidden technique instantly enveloped the entire cabin.
The two of them were still looking at each other silently.
The Nine-Headed Worm slowly stood up, leaned on the back of the chair crookedly, and said, "Tell me."
With a faint smile, Ao Tingxin said softly: "Tingxin hopes that the Nine-headed Elder can introduce the elders of the various tribes of the Feather Clan to Tingxin."
"What do you mean?" Jiutou cuckled and said, "You want to know the elders of the various tribes of the feather clan? To be honest, I don't even know you very much. How can I introduce it to you?"
"Then, please give Tingxin a token, it's OK."
"I, the so-called elder of the Feather Clan, have a false title, and it's useless."
With his eyebrows slightly lowered, Ao Tingxin continued, "Ten Thousand Birds, the phoenix should be the head of the phoenix. You are the nine-headed phoenix, and naturally the great elder of the Feather Clan. No one can change this. Although the Demon Peng has a very high prestige in the Feather Clan, after all, it is not the great elder. Tingxin knows that your name is still recognized by many Feather Clan elders. After so many years, they have repeatedly proposed to abolish the ban on banning you from entering the demon city."
As he said that, Ao Tingxin's hand gently stroked the table, as if he was painting a symbol. The gaze was meaningful.
Looking at Ao Tingxin, the Nine-Headed Insect smiled slowly: "I understand. Di Jun is not in the palace, which confirms the rumor that his life is about to end. You are worried that the demon clan will be in chaos, and it will be difficult for the Dragon Palace to take sides at that time. I want to find a support first."
Ao Tingxin raised his eyes slightly and looked at the Nine-Headed Worm.
"It's really a good idea to say that." The Nine-Headed Insect thought for a moment and said, "The scale clan is headed by dragons. Although the Dragon Palace does not belong to the demon country, your relationship with the scale clan has always been close. At least it is somewhat sympathetic. Now the scale clan supports the multi-eye monster, while the feather clan supports the demon king. As long as you don't know how to oppose the multi-eye monster, if the scale clan has a relationship, the multi-eye monster will definitely not be too much. And if the demon king wins, you can take out my token at that time. With the support of the feather clan, you will definitely not be troubled."
As he spoke, the Nine-Headed Insect clapped and said, "Stand on both sides, and they are not offended, and they are invincible. Not bad. It is said that the Fourth Princess of the East China Sea is the head of the Dragon Clan. When I see you today, it is indeed amazing."
"The Nine-headed Elder was joking. Can't Tingxin's little thoughts escape the elder's eyes?" After pausing slightly, Ao Tingxin continued, "Then, did the elder agree?"
Jiutou cuckold pursed his lips and shook his head with a smile: "Don't agree."
"oh?"
"It's too cost-effective for you." The Nine-headed worm reached out to pick up a grape, threw it, and it was falling into his mouth. After chewing, he said, "How much can the Dragon Palace make in a day's business? As long as you have a day's stability, you can make more money. Then what you have to do is just take the risk of sending me to Wanshou Mountain? This is too profitable, right? No."
Ao Tingxin still smiled and asked, "What does the Nine-headed Elder mean?"
"I mean, you add a little more. If you want so many benefits, you have to do more, right?" Jiuteng spread his hands and said, "I don't have many requirements, it's very simple. Just help me... just ask Zhen Yuanzi for personal ginseng fruit. One of the nine heads was cut off. Without ginseng fruit, my skills cannot be restored to the same level as before. It's so uncomfortable. What do you think?"
...
On the deck, Nuannuan tightened her cloak with a look of worry.
"Sister Tingxin is definitely still angry with me. She wouldn't even let me go when she talked about things before." She sighed, and she pouted, "Am I really too impulsive? But I can't stop saving me when I die. He has saved me. Others are so good, how can I... I have apologized, I just hope that Sister Tingxin will not be angry for too long."
...
He stared at the Nine-Headed Worm intently. After a long time, Ao Tingxin smiled and said softly, "Try Telling Xin."
