The Journey of Immortal Cultivation
Chapter 56 Bargaining

Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Bargaining

Bai Hong was in a great hurry and couldn’t help but blurt out, "How can you do this?"

Little monster, you’ve finally shown your slip, aren’t you going to answer uniformly anymore? Sister originally thought you two had exactly the same personality.

"How can I not do this? I came here alone to follow you guys, which can be considered very risky and sincere. And what are the conditions you’ve offered?" She started haggling. In fact, merely with that Golden Core Pill, the deal could have been made. After all, both little monsters didn’t know she could actually use this medicine pill.

"A Golden Core Pill that looks valuable but is completely useless to me. If I want to exchange it for money, I’d have to gamble on finding a good-hearted Great Perfection Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage who won’t kill for the pill!" It’s not easy to say this long and awkward sentence. The sorrow of mortals lies in being completely overlooked by immortals and demons. If she really foolishly found a cultivator to sell the medicine pill, the most likely outcome isn’t coming back with a bunch of silver or Spirit Stones, instead, it might be having the cultivator steal the pill and escape, or perhaps even getting killed to prevent the leaks of information.

She now gradually understands the way of thinking of the two little demons. Hearing this, they couldn’t help but think, if I were that Great Perfection Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, would I rob the treasure or pay the money? Undoubtedly, it would be the former, for them this is closer to reality.

Indeed, she is having a hard time letting go of this Golden Core Pill, so both little fellas didn’t make a peep.

She clearly hit the point. Ning Xiaoxian, keep it up. "Moreover, this... seed." She didn’t know how to refer to the item in the box, so she tried hard to show a look of disgust, "Even you yourselves don’t know the uses of this thing, and you still think it counts as ’very special good stuff’ to trade with me?"

Bai Hong’s face flushed as he said, "Both these items were picked up amidst the chaos when Ming Xiao City was breached, from the City Lord Mansion. As things treasured and hidden by the City Lord, how could they possibly be useless?"

Ning Xiaoxian caught his slip of the tongue and sneered, "You first said it was picked up, then said it was hidden by the City Lord. Where exactly were these items originally placed?"

Bai Jing angrily glared at Bai Hong, "Fool, just keep your mouth shut! Sister Ning, these two items were originally placed by the City Lord in a secret chamber. When Ming Xiao City was breached, the City Lord had been killed, and his few confidants rushed back to the City Lord Mansion first, seizing many valuable treasures. At that time, everyone was panicked, and both Bai Hong and I sneaked into the City Lord Mansion unnoticed. As they were picking items in the secret chamber, we also slipped in, and it turned out that both groups had set their eyes on the same treasures and started fighting, so we took advantage of the chaos and swiped two items."

He continued, "We indeed don’t know the real value of these two items; even mother couldn’t recognize what that seed is. But they were placed in the innermost part of the secret chamber, guarded most stringently; they must be the best items!"

Although these two little guys are clever, if it comes to negotiations, they are inexperienced and don’t know they shouldn’t easily reveal their own cards. Ning Xiaoxian pondered for a while.

But Bai Hong couldn’t hold back anymore. Like all children acting impetuously, he initially offered Ning Xiaoxian such agreeable terms in good faith, yet this mortal woman kept stalling, the more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, so in anger, he gripped the edge of the table and said, "This deal must be done, otherwise I will kill you!" He exerted so much force that he actually snapped a small piece off the table corner.

A loud clinking noise resonated in her heart, this little demon’s strength was indeed great, and temper not too good; negotiating with a demon indeed comes with a risk to life. However, she still maintained a composed expression on her face and coldly said, "If you don’t want to avenge your mother, just kill me then. We can just part ways, and at most I’ll compensate you with my life, and as for you, you can spend your lives hiding from place to place."

"I’ve heard that the lifespan of Bat Demons is quite long, tsk tsk, at least two hundred years, meaning, for the next one hundred and seventy or eighty years, you all would be too ashamed to raise your heads and be demons." Don’t think this is just a matter of face; demons also encounter Heart Demons during cultivation, and if these two little demons kill her and fail to avenge their mother, the constant anxiety in their hearts will also cultivate a Heart Demon, hindering their cultivation.

Bai Hong and Bai Jing knew what she meant and forcefully suppressed their anger, whispering, "Can you really help us take revenge?"

She obviously wasn’t sure, but to directly state that would probably get her torn to pieces by these two little demons.

She pondered and said, "I need to assess the situation clearly before making a judgment. If the scheme is properly executed, nothing is impossible." Such words, if said to an ordinary adult, would likely be scoffed at, the saying "where there’s a will, there’s a way" has been proven to be just leading people on. Unfortunately, these two little demons in front of her are too young and their interactions with the Demon Clan are much purer than Ning Xiaoxian, so they actually did not see the flaw.

"However, the terms you’re setting are too low." She rotated her eyeballs, "If I am to scheme against Wo Tou, you must raise the stakes!"

Bai Jing said with difficulty, "Besides these two things, we possess nothing else, we have no other possessions to offer."

"Who says that? I see there’s something else you have that’s quite valuable."

Bai Hong was stunned and asked, "What?" He couldn’t think of anything valuable that the brothers could offer, how did this woman notice it?

Ning Xiaoxian smiled, stretched out her finger towards their chests, "Yourselves!"

Bai Hong and Bai Jing were stunned, and then realized she actually wanted the brothers as bargaining chips, immediately becoming furious.

Bai Hong’s face turned red, his eyes widened, and he slammed the table forcefully, yelling, "So you want to treat my brother and me as slaves! You really have a lot of nerve!"

Bai Jing’s nails also grew long, he sneered, "As noble demons, how could we possibly be enslaved by mortals? Sister Ning, don’t push your luck by refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

Who’s more scared, bring it on! She forcefully suppressed her nervousness, widened her eyes and said, "Don’t talk nonsense, who plans to enslave you? I just want to find two companions for the journey westward. You are demons, yet you have no demon energy, in most situations you can do more than I, a mortal, can. I just want to borrow your abilities, how can that be called enslavement?"

Bai Jing and Bai Hong looked at each other, suspiciously said, "Mother said that humans are sweet-talking, not to be easily trusted. How do we know you really don’t plan to enslave us?"

She indeed planned to get them into the God Demon Prison, once inside, could they still decide for themselves?

She sneered, "Your mother’s ’humans’, she means the men of the Human Clan, doesn’t she? That damn species is indeed mostly deceitful dolts with sweet words and a treacherous heart, troublesome and with little function, extremely inefficient." She made things up, "We women are different, your mother has always been selfless towards you, hasn’t she?"
