Ling Xian knew very well that with his capabilities today, even if he is no opponent of Hua Wan Yue's, he can at least protect himself.
Plus, he was certain that Hua Wan Yue wouldn't fight against him. Therefore, he was calm and his attitude was firm.
"Do I have to …" Hua Wan Yue sighed deeply. Because of Ling Xian's capabilities, she didn't dare to force him.
Plus, he was the God of Flowers and the only person who can save the Holy Spirit Water in the next few decades. If she fights against him, then the Holy Spirit Water will disappear completely and the City of Flowers will no longer live up to its name.
Therefore, she didn't dare to fight against Ling Xian and could only try to persuade him.
"Young Master, it's not that I am stingy. It's just that the Holy Spirit Water only produces one drop every 100 years. If I give you two drops, then the City of Flowers will lose a lot of its vitality in the next 200 years. "
"That has nothing to do with me."
Ling Xian softly smiled and asked, "If I sacrifice 50 years of my life, how many years can the Holy Spirit Water last?"
"I …"
Hua Wan Yue hesitated. Under Ling Xian's piercing stare, she bitterly smiled and answered honestly, "500 years."
"Very good. 50 years in exchange for 500 years. That is a good deal."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, "Let me ask you again. If I don't help you, how long can the Holy Spirit Water last?"
"At most 20 years." Hua Wan Yue sighed.
"One last question."
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips. It was a smile of victory, "I wonder if I can choose a new God of Flowers during these 20 years?"
"No."
Hua Wan Yue shook her head. She understood what Ling Xian was trying to say and she bitterly smiled.
Since the God of Flowers cannot be chosen within 20 years, then it means if Ling Xian doesn't help, the Holy Spirit Water will completely dry up. If he helps, then the Holy Spirit Water can last for another 500 years.
In other words, even if she gives him two drops of the Holy Spirit Water, the Holy Spirit Water can still serve the City of Flowers for 300 years. This business deal was still very worthwhile.
"You knew I would say yes."
Hua Wan Yue gave Ling Xian a long look, "If this was anyone else, I would've slapped them in the face. Not only did you try to bargain with me, you even dared to threaten me. Aren't you a little too bold? "
"Since I'm confident, I'll naturally be more daring."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Leader Hua, there is no need to be angry. I have my reasons for wanting the Holy Spirit Water. Moreover, I believe that Flower City must have stored some Holy Spirit Water, right? "
"You guessed it right again."
Hua Wan Yue stared at Ling Xian. She suddenly felt like negotiating with someone so capable, so courageous, and so smart was a huge headache.
"Let's cut the crap. City Lord Hua, give me a straightforward answer. If you don't agree, I'll leave immediately and won't stay. "
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips, confident that victory was within his grasp.
He believed that there was no way Hua Wan Yue would sit and watch the Holy Spirit Water run dry.
"You win."
Softly sighing, Hua Wan Yue's face flashed with helplessness. She accepted Ling Xian's request.
She had no choice but to agree. The initiative was in Ling Xian's hands and all the conditions were in his favor. Unless she wanted to see the Holy Spirit Water run dry, she had no choice but to agree.
"A smart choice." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, he was very happy.
The Holy Spirit Water wasn't only related to whether or not Ling Tian Xiang can regain her consciousness, it was also related to whether or not the sword can regain its power. This was why he asked for two drops of the Holy Spirit Water.
Now that Hua Wan Yue agreed to give it to him, of course he was happy.
"It wasn't a smart choice. It was a choice I had no other choice."
Hua Wan Yue stared at Ling Xian hatefully, "If I was smart, I wouldn't have chosen you to be the Goddess of Flowers. Look at me now. I gave away two drops of the Holy Spirit Water for nothing."
"Haha, are you regretting it now?" Ling Xian laughed out loud, feeling very carefree.
"Of course I regret it. If I chose someone else, I would've made her the Goddess of Flowers. That would've been enough for her to thank me."
Hua Wan Yue continued to glare at Ling Xian, "Unlike you. You're not satisfied even after becoming the Goddess of Flowers. You asked for two drops of the Holy Spirit Water."
"Sadly, being the Goddess of Flowers isn't up to you. It's up to the Goddess of Flowers."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Plus, I have no interest in being the Goddess of Flowers. After this is over, I will leave."
"You don't want to be the Goddess of Flowers?" Hua Wan Yue raised an eyebrow, a little surprised.
Remember that the Goddess of Flowers' position was second only to her, the ruler of the city. She could command all the elders in the city. She had a lot of power and was highly respected.
Yet Ling Xian said he didn't want to be the Goddess of Flowers. Why wouldn't she be surprised?
"Not interested."
Ling Xian softly grinned. The reason why he chose to be the Goddess of Flowers was because he wanted to find out the secret of the City of Flowers. Now that the secret has been found out and there was an unexpected surprise, he had no interest in staying in the City of Flowers.
"You sure are interesting."
Hua Wan Yue's eyes flickered with curiosity, "Oh well, if you want to leave, I won't force you. After all, I don't feel safe leaving a greedy person like you behind."
"Greedy?"
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. He was too lazy to argue with Hua Wan Yue, "Whatever you say. Take out the Holy Spirit Water. We need to hurry."
"Aye, I thought I chose the Goddess of Flowers. I didn't think I would invite a wolf into my house."
Hua Wan Yue rolled her eyes at Ling Xian and unwillingly took out two jade bottles from her storage pouch. The moment they appeared, they exuded a shocking amount of life energy that made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable.
Without a doubt, the jade bottles contained the Holy Spirit Water. Or else other things wouldn't be able to exude such a shocking amount of life energy through a jade bottle.
After Hua Wan Yue opened the jade bottles, the life energy in the room intensified. It was as if one sniff could extend one's lifespan by a few years.
"The Holy Spirit Water!"
Ling Xian's eyes turned heated. Looking at the heavenly object of his dreams, he couldn't help but reveal a happy smile.
More than ten years ago, he had been looking forward to the day he would be able to obtain this item. Now that he finally had it, why wouldn't he be happy?
"Two drops … this is a heavenly object that only appears after 200 years." Hua Wan Yue's heart was dripping blood. Even with her mentality, she couldn't help but feel pained.
These were two drops of the Holy Spirit Water. They were priceless treasures. Anyone would feel pained by this!
"Leader Hua, you must be thinking this way. Exchanging two drops for five is a good deal." Ling Xian grinned.
Hua Wan Yue glared at him and sighed, "Oh well, hurry up and inject your lifespan into the Nine-Colored Flower of Choosing. Then, take your Holy Spirit Water and leave."
"Okay, I wonder what exactly I should do?" Ling Xian asked with a smile.
Hua Wan Yue spoke softly, "You only need to lower your defenses and let the flower absorb your lifespan. After it absorbs 50 years of your lifespan, it will leave."
As she spoke, she lightly waved her sleeve, and a nine-colored flower appeared. Then, the nine-colored flower, as if it had just seen a great tonic, dashed towards Ling Xian.
"What an interesting flower."
Ling Xian's eyes flickered. He let go of his defenses and allowed the flower to land on his shoulder.
