Qian'Er and Xue'Er looked at Miao Yi, wondering what else he could come up with.
Miao Yi muttered to himself for a moment. He looked at Hong Xiu, who was hugging his leg without letting go, and said, "Get up first and talk!"
Hong Xiu let go and stood up.
Miao Yi watched as she kowtowed until her face was covered in blood. He didn't know what to say to her either. He was angry at her rudeness, but at her loyalty at the same time. He waved his hand and said, "You guys help her clean up. I'm going out for a while."
Hong Xiu immediately panicked and stopped him. "Master Miao, Master Miao has killed too many people. He doesn't care about trifles and has offended too many people. He doesn't have any reliable friends. If you don't help him, Master Miao will really die."
Miao Yi said helplessly, "Don't panic. I didn't say I wouldn't care. I'm going out to look for Fretless Fruits for Big Brother Yan. Just wait patiently. Otherwise, there's no point in panicking. Even if you ask me to bring out a bunch of Fretless Fruits right away, I won't be able to."
Hong Xiu quickly said, "Master Miao, I will accompany you."
Miao Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "I can't take you anywhere. Just wait here obediently. Once I find it, I'll come back immediately."
Hong Xiu asked anxiously, "How many can Master Miao find?"
Miao Yi was silent for a moment. "I can't be sure how much I can find, but I will definitely be able to get some."
Hong Xiu knelt down again and sobbed, "Master Miao, you have to hurry. The more Fretless Fruits, the better. Sir can't afford to delay any longer."
"You've said it many times already. I understand. I will do it as soon as possible!" Miao Yi furrowed his brows, flicked his sleeves, and left.
After exiting the rear hall, he quickly flew into the sky.
Hong Xiu followed Miao Yi out of the door of the rear hall with tears in her eyes as she watched Miao Yi disappear into the sky. Qian'Er and Xue'Er, who came out soon after, held her arms and consoled her, "Sister, don't be anxious. Since Milord said he can get it, then he will definitely be able to. Go wash up first and wait patiently later."
Sea of Constellations, Western Constellations Palace. After a long flight, Miao Yi descended outside the palace gates without saying a word. "An old friend from the Antarctic Ice Palace requests an audience with Lord Fu Qing. Quickly report this!"
He had no choice but to come here. Before coming here, he had gone to look for Wen Fang. Just as Hong Xiu had said, Wen Fang was indeed unable to get her hands on the Carefree Fruit. She had been asking around for Yan Beihong.
With no other choice, Miao Yi had no choice but to come to the Western Constellations Palace. This was where the Fretless Fruit was produced. Where else could he go if not here?
Not long after, the guard came back and invited him in. "Sir, please come with me."
"No need. I'll go myself!" Miao Yi entered the palace in a flash, and immediately landed outside the ancient grand hall of the harem.
The Emissary of the Right, Qing Feng, was still standing on the steps with an expressionless face. Miao Yi quickly walked up and cupped his fists, "Emissary of the Right."
Qing Feng nodded slightly, turned around, and led him in.
Fu Qing was still sitting cross-legged in the middle of the spacious hall. Qing Feng returned to his side.
Miao Yi stepped forward and cupped his fists, "Greetings, Senior!"
Fu Qing opened his eyes and smiled. "I thought you threw the planting of the Five Elements Spirit Grass to us."
"Junior didn't come here because of the Five Elements Spirit Grass." Miao Yi lifted the hem of his robes, crossed his legs, and sat cross-legged across from Fu Qing. "I came to ask for something from Senior."
Fu Qing smiled. "What do I have to give you?"
Miao Yi replied, "The Fretless Fruit!"
Fu Qing was taken aback. He turned to exchange a glance with Qing Feng, then turned back to Miao Yi with a puzzled expression. "What's going on recently? Why is everyone asking for the Fretless Fruit from me? "
Miao Yi was surprised. "Who else wants it?"
Qing Feng answered. "The Chamber of Commerce of the six nations."
"…" Miao Yi was stunned for a moment before he understood. In the end, the root of the problem was still Yan Beihong. Yan Beihong had single-handedly caused a shortage of Fretless Fruits in the six nations. Just how many Fretless Fruits did that guy use up? He asked, "Senior, did you give them to the Chamber of Commerce of the six nations?"
Fu Qing replied, "I only have this much resources on hand. I wouldn't let them go and ruin my own business. Now that the price of the Fretless Fruit has suddenly skyrocketed, I'm confused as to why. I've already sent someone to investigate the reason. Before I understand the situation, I won't let them go so easily. Not to mention, this is a rare opportunity. Let's continue to keep the price high before anything else. Of course, since Little Brother has personally come to ask for it, I won't refuse you. How many do you want? I'll give you a few for free. "
'A few? Why would I come to you if I wanted a few? I don't believe I can't gather a few Fretless Fruits from a trip to the capital city! ' Miao Yi asked, "How many do you have on hand, Senior?"
Fu Qing smiled. "About twenty to thirty thousand. Don't tell me you want all of them?"
Miao Yi nodded. "That's right. I want all of them. I'll take as many as you have. Senior, please state your price."
"…" Fu Qing was stunned. He exchanged glances with Qing Feng, a little speechless.
Qing Feng asked, "Why do you want so many Fretless Fruits?"
"Of course I have a use for them." Miao Yi wasn't willing to reveal the truth. "Senior, please state your price."
Fu Qing said, "Kid, the market price for a single Fretless Fruit is very high right now. I'm afraid you won't be able to swallow all of them."
Miao Yi didn't have the time to waste with him. Hong Xiu was crying about how she needed something to save Yan Beihong's life. Miao Yi didn't hold back and said, "If you don't have enough money, I'll owe you for now. As long as the price isn't ridiculously high, I have nothing to say in front of Senior. I'll just lower my head and accept it. I'm an honest person. I believe Senior won't cheat me. "
'You're an honest person? You even came up with something like pretending to commit suicide. How dare you call yourself an honest person? ' Fu Qing and Qing Feng both had looks of disdain on their faces.
Fu Qing said, "I won't lie to you. If you want a few, I can give them to you for free. I won't charge a single cent. But if you want all of them, I won't give them to you. At least not now. It doesn't matter how much you offer. "
Miao Yi furrowed his brows. "Why?"
Fu Qing said calmly, "It's simple. I don't know what's going on right now. Once my men find out what's going on, I'll consider whether or not to release the Fretless Fruits. I'll still say the same thing. I won't shoot myself in the foot. "
Miao Yi waved his hand. "Senior, you can call your men back. There's no need to investigate further. The reason why the Fretless Fruits are in short supply in the market is right in front of you. I've already bought all of them, so it's only natural that there would be a shortage. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come running to you."
"…" Fu Qing was taken aback. He asked, "Why did you buy so many Fretless Fruits?"
Miao Yi sighed. "This is my personal secret. It's not convenient for me to reveal it. But don't worry, Senior. If you sell the Fretless Fruits to me, I definitely won't do anything that would harm Senior's interests. We're currently in a cooperative relationship. Harming Senior won't do me any good. "
Fu Qing asked suspiciously, "Kid, you're not purposely hoarding the Fretless Fruits, are you?"
Miao Yi rolled his eyes and sighed. "Senior, you're overthinking things. The Fretless Fruits aren't something that can be consumed in large quantities. Unless it's absolutely necessary, no one would even bother buying them. Besides, Senior can always grow them back later. Wouldn't I be digging my own grave by hoarding so many of them? "
Fu Qing thought about it and agreed. But he still couldn't figure out why Miao Yi wanted so many Fretless Fruits. He shook his head and said, "I don't understand the situation … I'm not selling them!"
'What an obstinate old man!' Miao Yi wanted to pounce on him and bite him to death, but he couldn't win against him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine. I'll be honest. I'm buying them to save someone. "
"Who are you trying to fool? Using so many Fretless Fruits to save someone? Why don't you tell me who you're saving, and how are you going to save them? "Fu Qing smiled ambiguously. He clearly didn't believe Miao Yi.
Miao Yi wouldn't mention Yan Beihong. He went straight to the point and said, "Since Senior doesn't believe me no matter what I say, then tell me. What do I have to do for you to sell the Fretless Fruits to me?"
Fu Qing simply said, "I'm not selling!"
"I've tried my best, but Senior isn't willing to give me any face. In that case, I can only take my leave. I hope Senior won't regret this! Take your time planting the Five Elemental Spirit Herbs. I have nothing else to do here. You can go and play however you want! " Miao Yi stood up, cupped his fists, and turned to leave. If the soft approach didn't work, then he would have to resort to the hard way.
Fu Qing gritted his teeth in anger. His brothers had been blinded by greed and had fallen into this bastard's trap. As expected, there was no such thing as a free lunch. They couldn't escape even if they wanted to, and yet they didn't dare to kill this bastard to silence him. He had nothing to lose, so what could Fu Qing do to him?
"I said I'm not selling, but I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you," Fu Qing said plainly.
Miao Yi stopped and turned around, then ran back. His eyes sparkled as he asked, "Senior is willing to give it to me for free?"
Fu Qing said expressionlessly, "Two-eighty. You get twenty, and we get eighty."
Miao Yi's expression darkened. Others might not understand, but he knew the moment he heard Fu Qing talking about the split of the Basic Immortal Pills. He said solemnly, "These are two separate matters. The Basic Immortal Pills are the Basic Immortal Pills, and the Fretless Fruits are the Fretless Fruits. Cooperation is cooperation, and business is business. "
The Basic Immortal Pills were very important to him.
Fu Qing slowly stood up. "Brat, don't go overboard. You say these are two separate matters when it comes to me, but when it comes to you, you threaten us for no reason? You call this' these are two separate matters'? I'll make it clear today. There is a bottom line when it comes to threatening others. You threaten us for no reason at all. Who do you think we are? Do you think you can threaten us for the rest of our lives with this? I'll say it again. There is a bottom line when it comes to threatening others. The Six Sages can kill us, but they can't treat us like dogs like you. If we dare to fight them once, we will dare to fight them a second time! "
"Mm! I understand. "Miao Yi's expression was cold as he continued to turn around and leave.
Fu Qing's expression twitched as he watched Miao Yi walk to the door. He said, "Three-seventy!"
Miao Yi turned around and said, "Four-sixty. This is my bottom line!"
Fu Qing waved his hand. "You can scram now!"
Miao Yi turned around and left without hesitation.
However, when he walked out of the grand hall, walked down the stairs, and even took to the skies, no one tried to stop him. Miao Yi stopped in midair and landed at the entrance of the grand hall. He walked back in and said helplessly, "Three-seventy it is. You win!"
Fu Qing's expression darkened. From the looks of it, this bastard would have agreed even if it was two-eighty. He said with a straight face, "It's too late. Two-eighty!"
Miao Yi was stunned. If Fu Qing had insisted on a two-eighty at the start, he might have agreed. However, if he agreed now, then he could forget about threatening these old demons in the Sea of Constellations in the future. If he couldn't threaten them, then his life would be in the hands of these old demons. That would be terrible. He immediately said angrily, "I'll return your words. There is a bottom line when it comes to threatening others!" He turned around and left.
Fu Qing laughed coldly. "Even if you tell the Six Sages, you won't be able to live!"
