"Since Palace Master Lu has asked in such a manner, this Emperor will properly explain it to you. Mainly, there are three points."
"Firstly, all transactions conducted within the empire by the Dragon King Hall will be exempt from taxes. The empire will not take a single cent of the profits, and all profits will belong to the Dragon King Hall." The Snowy Night Emperor took a sip of tea and said softly.
"Oh?" Lu Yuan was slightly surprised when he heard this. Exempting the Dragon King Hall from all taxes in the Heaven Dou Empire was quite a generous offer.
One must know that the annual transaction volume of the Dragon King Palace was absolutely a terrifying figure. Furthermore, when the Dragon King Palace conducted transactions in various kingdoms and provinces, they had to pay a certain amount of taxes to the various kingdoms and provinces. This sum of money was definitely not a small amount.
With the Snowy Night Emperor's offer, the Dragon King Hall would be exempt from all taxes within the Heaven Dou Empire. This would save a huge sum of money every year. This was a very tempting offer.
The Snowy Night Emperor smiled when he saw the surprise on Lu Yuan's face. He continued, "Secondly, the empire will support all transactions conducted by the Dragon King Hall within the empire in the future. We will give priority to all transactions within the empire and waive all sorts of complicated processing fees. Furthermore, the empire will officially promote the Dragon King Hall's products."
"Is this the second benefit?" Lu Yuan stroked his chin gently. Although the Dragon King Hall was developing well and had even expanded its trade to the Seonra Empire, it was still developing rapidly in the Heaven Dou Imperial City because it had only been established for a year and had yet to gain a stable footing.
However, the Dragon King Hall was not developing as well in other places as in the Heaven Dou Imperial City.
According to the Snowy Night Emperor's offer, the Dragon King Hall's development would enter a period of rapid growth. This condition was even more tempting than the first one.
"Thirdly, it's in terms of honor. I have decided to bestow upon Palace Master Lu the title of Golden Dragon King. He will be a First Class King and will be ranked above all officials. He will be able to enter the palace with a sword and will not have to bow before the emperor. At the same time, he will be given five thousand households and thirty thousand hectares of fertile land." The Snowy Night Emperor threw out his third condition before Lu Yuan could speak.
When this condition was mentioned, not only did Lu Yuan narrow his eyes, but even Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe had a trace of surprise in their eyes.
The title of Golden Dragon King was even more exalted than that of Ning Fengzhi's teacher.
The titles of nobility in the empire, from top to bottom, were generally given to dukes, earls, marquises, viscounts, and males. Other than the royal family, the title of king was basically not given to anyone else.
And now, the Snow Night Emperor had not only bestowed Lu Yuan with the title of Prince, but it was also the highest rank of First Class Prince. His position was a bit high.
Although it was just a title without any actual authority, the significance of this title was very significant. Not to mention, there were also 5000 households and 30,000 hectares of fertile land. This was not a small amount of wealth.
Therefore, both Ning Fengzhi and Chihiro Snow were a little shocked. The Snowy Night Emperor was really bold. He had invested a lot to win over the Dragon King Palace.
"Interesting. The Emperor's conditions are quite tempting." Lu Yuan tapped his fingers on the table and said softly.
"What do you think, Palace Master Lu? Are these three conditions sincere enough?" The Snowy Night Emperor asked.
"Yes, they are sincere enough." Lu Yuan said indifferently.
"What about the cooperation?" The Snowy Night Emperor asked.
"The cooperation will be as you wish. From today onwards, the Dragon King Palace will fully support the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. We will share weal and woe together." Lu Yuan said.
"Good. Palace Master Lu is indeed a straightforward person!" The Snowy Night Emperor was overjoyed when he heard Lu Yuan's words. His originally pale face seemed to have a few traces of redness. He clapped his hands lightly and a maid came up with a tray.
There were two items on the tray. One was a square seal that was purple and gold in color. There were exquisite dragon carvings on the seal.
The other item was a dazzling golden medallion. On one side of the medallion was a snow-white swan. This was the symbol of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. On the other side was a majestic golden dragon. It looked exactly like Lu Yuan's golden dragon.
"These two items are the Golden Dragon King's seal and medallion. They represent the Golden Dragon King's status. Please accept them." The Snowy Night Emperor said.
"Then it would be impolite to refuse." Lu Yuan smiled faintly.
"Haha, Palace Master Lu. Oh, no, I should call you Golden Dragon King now. This Emperor has arranged a banquet in the Shunde Palace. Golden Dragon King and this Emperor will sit down and chat while we eat. How about it?" The Snowy Night Emperor was very happy that he had successfully reached an agreement with Lu Yuan. With the support of another superpower, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family was as stable as Mount Tai.
Furthermore, with the support of the Dragon King Palace, which had five titled soul masters and even the Limit Douluo Long Xiaoyao, the Snowy Night Emperor was no longer afraid of the Martial Soul Palace. He was overjoyed and directly invited Lu Yuan to sit down.
"That would be great." Lu Yuan smiled.
"Golden Dragon King, please!" The Snowy Night Emperor extended his hand.
"After you, Emperor!" Lu Yuan smiled.
"Hahahaha!" The Snowy Night Emperor laughed and walked in front. Lu Yuan smiled and followed behind the Snowy Night Emperor.

Crown Prince's Residence.
Chihiro Snow's study.
Lu Yuan lay in front of Chihiro Snow's desk and stared at Chihiro Snow. "Why don't we go to your room?"
Chihiro Snow rolled his eyes at Lu Yuan and said, "What do you want to do in my room in broad daylight?"
Lu Yuan blinked and said, "Don't you know what I want to do?"
Chihiro Snow spat and said, "Ptui, pervert. All you think about is doing bad things."
Lu Yuan spread his hands and pretended to be helpless as he said, "Ah, I can't help it. My Cher is too beautiful. I can't help it."
Chihiro Snow blushed when she heard this, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She was actually very happy that Lu Yuan was so infatuated with her.
"Alright, stop fooling around. Let's talk about something serious." Chihiro Snow said with a serious expression.
"Talk about something serious? Alright, go ahead. " Lu Yuan stopped smiling when he heard Chihiro Snow's words. He sat up straight and his expression became serious.
Speaking of which, Lu Yuan and Qian Renxue were quite similar. Both of them were the type who could be fooling around one second and immediately get into the mood to talk about work the next second.
It was no wonder they were together.
"Obuchi, now that your Dragon King Palace has allied with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, we can start our plan slowly." Chihiro Snow said.
