Chapter 337: 188: The devil, Suo Lun!_2

"Fine, fine," Zhi Ning said through gritted teeth, "you can still be the nominal lord of Tian Shui City, but only in name, and you must stay in the Earl’s mansion in the royal city. As for Tianshui City, we will take complete control."

"Impossible," Suo Lun snorted coldly, taking a step forward, "I must be the legitimate lord of Tian Shui City, and as for your descent to attack the Barbaric Wilderness Plains, you have my support, but I must be one of the commanders of the southern army."

"Dream on, keep dreaming your grand delusions," Zhi Ning said, "I will never agree to this condition, even if it kills me. If you want to ** me, just try."

Having said that, Zhi Ning closed her eyes as if resigned, steadfastly refusing to give in.

Suo Lun advanced, reached out to grab her clothes, and fiercely began to tear them open.

Zhi Ning was startled and shouted, "Stop, stop, Suo Lun you beast, you brute, using such despicable methods against a woman, what kind of hero are you?"

Suo Lun said, "I am no hero to begin with."

Zhi Ning said, "If you defile me, do you know what the consequences will be once Yan Nai’er learns of this?"

Suo Lun said, "What’s so great about that? At the worst, I’ll kneel on a washboard for a month. In front of a wife, a man only needs to be willing to kneel, and what else can’t be solved?"

"Shameless, utterly shameless..." Zhi Ning nearly ground her teeth to bleeding, filled with rage, yet she couldn’t articulate the reason.

Suo Lun slipped his hand further into her clothes, feigning to rip them apart, "Princess Zhining, you must make a decision quickly. I am already somewhat out of control. I don’t know what might happen if we keep this up."

Princess Zhining looked at Suo Lun and said word by word, "The final bottom line that cannot be crossed. We keep the lands south of Heavenly Water Main City, including Tianlang Pass and Barbaric Valley Fortress."

Suo Lun said, "Wouldn’t that mean I’m losing most of Tian Shui City’s territory?"

Zhi Ning said, "Being able to save your life and half of your territory is already the best outcome for you."

Suddenly, Suo Lun asked, "Why are you so afraid of losing your purity?"

Zhi Ning said, "I am a noble Commandery Princess, and I value my purity as my life."

Suo Lun pursed his lips and said, "Cut the nonsense, we’re all people of the jianghu, who is deceiving whom? You didn’t resist at all at first, even reacting more intensely than I did."

"I am engaged to be married," Zhi Ning said.

"Who is the other party?" Suo Lun asked.

"What do you care who it is? He is a hundred times more noble than you," Zhi Ning said.

"Who is it?" Suo Lun demanded tightly.

Suddenly, Zhi Ning shuddered, almost losing her composure.

"His Highness Prince Ji Min of the Flame Empire, the overlord of the world," Zhi Ning said.

Indeed, he was a significant figure, one that seemed almost too lofty for this world.

Suo Lun sneered, "In that case, your purity really is very important, very valuable indeed."

Zhi Ning, her face turning pale, said, "Suo Lun, what are you implying? You’ll get nothing more from me through extortion."

"Then let me put forth my final bottom line—I can give up the Barbaric Valley Fortress, but I won’t budge an inch on the rest!" Suo Lun declared.

"Impossible!" Zhi Ning said, "How many troops can a mere Barbarian Fortress garrison? At most twenty thousand."

Suo Lun said, "You can build castles and barracks behind the Barbarian Fortress. I’ll give you all the land for thirty miles north of the fortress."

"Not enough, impossible," Zhi Ning coldly retorted.

Suo Lun said, "Then don’t force me to a fight to the death. You’re to marry the future overlord of the world. Is your purity really so worthless? If you lose your virginity, this marriage alliance will definitely go sour. Surely you can’t expect to have it restored by a magician."

Zhi Ning was so furious that she trembled all over, almost biting through her gums, and she said coldly, word by word, "Suo Lun, you are truly shameless, there is no one more shameless than you in this whole world."

Suo Lun said, "I’m starting the countdown. When I reach ten if you still haven’t agreed, don’t blame me for showing no mercy."

Then, Suo Lun began the countdown.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six...three, two, one...

Having spoken, Suo Lun tore open Zhi Ning’s clothes in one fierce move, instantly uncovering a perfect spring scene.

"Fine, fine, fine..." Zhi Ning’s gaze was icy as she said each word, "We’ll only take the Barbaric Valley Fortress and Tianlang Pass, the rest is all yours."

Tianlang Pass and the Barbarian Fortress had taken the Suo family decades to build using tens of thousands of workers. It was the only barrier preventing enemies from invading from the south.

Suo Lun said, "Why do you now want Tianlang Pass, too?"

Zhi Ning said, "Tianlang Pass is right behind the Barbarian Fortress. If Tianlang Pass is in your hands, we won’t be able to sleep peacefully. This is the absolute final bottom line."

After thinking for a moment, Suo Lun said, "Fine, it’s decided. I will offer Tianlang Pass and the Barbaric Valley Fortress to Zhi Li, and you must immediately withdraw your troops, never again to covet Tian Shui City."

Zhi Ning’s gaze was filled with loathing, and she indeed bit till her gums bled, enunciating word by word, "Fine, it’s decided."

Suo Lun said, "Empty promises won’t do, sign and seal it."

Then, Suo Lun took out a scroll of parchment and wrote down the terms of the agreement.

The city lord of Tian Shui, Suo Lun, leases Tianlang Pass Fortress and Barbaric Valley Fortress, along with twenty miles of adjacent territory, to His Highness Zhi Li for thirty years. In exchange, Duke Zhi Wei immediately withdraws his troops, and thereafter, the royal family shall not send a single soldier into Tian Shui’s domain. The holy covenant is established forthwith, with the Holy Temple as guarantor. Should there be any breach, heaven and earth shall loathe, and the divine dragon shall destroy!

Then, Suo Lun signed his name prominently and affixed the seal of the city lord of Tian Shui.
