Chapter 164: Negotiation
Ning Qi led the unruly princess to the parlor of the residence. Xinche and the other three girls had already treated themselves as part of the Dragon Slaying Marquis' residence and took over the task of serving tea. The servants that were originally arranged by Zhao Er had nothing to say. Since the young master could bring the four girls back, it was very likely that he would become the young madam in the future. How could they say no?
Apart from the four girls, Deng San was asked to wait outside by the unruly princess. She wanted to discuss important matters with Ning Qi.
"I've raised you all for so long. I'm very sad that you've betrayed me in such a short time."
The unruly princess glanced at the four girls.
"Princess, this servant knows her mistake."
The four girls hurriedly knelt down and bowed.
Ning Qi smiled, "Your Highness, let's talk business first. As for Xinche and the others, I will punish them on your behalf."
He purposely emphasized the word 'punish'.
The four girls blushed slightly.
The unruly Princess didn't understand what he meant. She nodded and said, "Alright, I'll let you redeem these four girls. But each of them will have to pay 1000 high-grade yellow-rank Spirit Cultivation Pills, and in addition to the 5000 pills you promised to compensate me before, that's a total of 9000 high-grade yellow-rank Spirit Cultivation Pills.
"You black-hearted little bitch!"
Ning Qi cursed in his heart. A thousand Yellow Upper Grade Spirit Nurturing Pills for one person? This price was enough to buy a King of Dou to serve him!
It was enough to feed a Rank Five Demonic Beast until it reached adulthood!
"A thousand Yellow Upper Grade Spirit Nurturing Pills! We're so valuable? Oh no, will the young master not be able to pay … "
Xinlian and Xinyi thought in a daze.
A trace of worry flashed across Xinche's face. She clearly knew what a huge sum this was!
"What? You don't want to pay? Then I'll bring them back. "
The unruly princess rolled her eyes when she saw Ning Qi's ugly expression.
"Of course I'll pay. But it will take some time. Also, you will have to provide the spiritual herbs for the pills."
Ning Qi gritted his teeth.
"Spiritual herbs? That's not a problem. Coincidentally, I met Sister Lu Liu after coming here. She's the young master of the Hundred Herb Hall. I'll have her send them to you."
After the unruly princess got what she wanted, her mood became much better.
"Considering my success rate, I'll need to prepare about 50,000 sets of Spirit Grass."
Ning Qi continued.
"You lied to me? Your success rate is clearly 100%! "
The unruly princess was like a wild cat whose tail had been stepped on. She instantly exploded.
Outside the door, Deng San and the others stood on the right, while Third Master Ning, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu stood on the left. Everyone heard the princess's scream, and couldn't help but stare at each other.
As for Deng San and the others, an imperceptible shyness flashed across their eyes.
Ning Qi looked into the eyes of the unruly princess with extreme sincerity. "Your Highness, that was a mid-grade yellow-level Spirit Raising Pill. Have you ever heard of anyone who could refine a high-grade yellow-level Spirit Raising Pill and still maintain a 100% success rate? Wouldn't we be able to cultivate an army of demonic beasts? "
"Oh … what you said makes a bit of sense, but fifty thousand is impossible. That's too much. I can give you forty thousand at most!" the unruly princess said.
"Deal."
Ning Qi reached out with a smile on his face.
The unruly princess suddenly had a feeling that she had been tricked. Was it an illusion? Forty thousand spiritual herbs for nine thousand yellow-level high-grade Spirit Raising Pills. No matter how you looked at it, it was a good deal.
When she saw Ning Qi reach out, she subconsciously reached out as well.
Then Ning Qi held her hand and shook it twice.
Suddenly, a blush floated across the unruly princess's cheeks. She fiercely shook off Ning Qi's hand and said angrily, "What are you doing? Taking advantage of me? How dare you! "
At the door, Deng San and the others were shocked and were about to rush in.
At this time, Ning Qi explained, "Princess, this is the etiquette after a successful transaction. I learned it from a mysterious place. The people there are all like this. How could I dare to take advantage of you? "
"Is that so?"
The unruly princess looked at Ning Qi suspiciously.
Ning Qi continued to look at the unruly princess with incomparable sincerity and said, "It's absolutely true."
"Even if what you said is true, a mere few thousand yellow-level high-grade Spirit Raising Pills can't extinguish the anger in my heart. Tell me, are you really an alchemy grandmaster now?"
The unruly princess said.
"Yes, how could I lie?"
Ning Qi nodded.
"That's good. From now on, you will be the Ninth Princess's Mansion's Alchemist. I will give you a salary every year. If you help me concoct pills, I will stand up for you. If you refuse, I will settle the score with you."
The unruly princess said unyieldingly.
"It's fine to be an alchemist, but I have a few requests. If Your Highness doesn't agree to these requests, then I'd rather die than comply. After all, I'm an alchemy grandmaster, and I have dignity."
Ning Qi said with a serious face.
The unruly Princess was happy in her heart. She was just pretending to be tough. If Ning Qi was just an Alchemy Grand Master, she could still deal with him, but if he was an Alchemy Grand Master, even her Imperial Father would throw an olive branch to Ning Qi. If Ning Qi did not agree, she could not do anything to him.
"Say it, as long as it's not too much, I can promise you."
The unruly princess nodded.
"First, I want absolute freedom. I can go wherever I want. I can't be chained to the Princess's Mansion."
Ning Qi said.
"That's natural."
The unruly princess very generously agreed to this request, which was not a request.
"Second, you can't treat me as an alchemy worker. I will only start refining pills if I have the interest. No one can force me. But if you don't want me to sell the pills I refine to others. "
Ning Qi continued to make the second request.
"This … is fine …"
The unruly princess hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.
"Third! I haven't thought of it yet. I will tell Your Highness when I think of it. "
Ning Qi smiled.
"Then it's decided. In order to avoid any accidents, I will live in your mansion during this period of time. Deng San!" She shouted.
Deng San answered, "Your Highness, what orders do you have?"
"Go to the royal palace and inform Wu Maji to bring my luggage and all the carriages here. I want to live here for a long time. "
The unruly princess said.
"This … Your Highness, this doesn't seem too good …"
Deng San was a little embarrassed.
If the emperor knew that the princess was living in the mansion of a marquis when she returned to the White Tiger Empire, and the two of them were close in age, it would inevitably cause a misunderstanding.
What's more, it would be somewhat embarrassing for the imperial family.
"You go just because I tell you to. Are you not going to listen to me after leaving the White Tiger Empire?"
The unruly princess said angrily.
"Yes, your subordinate will do it right away."
Deng San smiled bitterly, glanced at Ning Qi, and turned to leave.
