Really too tired, and when it comes to providing resources, I truly don't understand.

Thinking it over, Shen Manxuan tentatively started to speak: "For amounts under a billion, feel free."

"Over a billion, you'll need to inform us, as that's no small amount."

"Additionally, each year, we're willing to give you two high-quality medicinal plants and two pieces of Jade and Jadeite!"

Shen Manxuan spoke these words slowly.

Because he was recalling as he spoke.

He was remembering the treatment given to Ancient Martial Artists in the Yuan Family.

As an outsider, he truly was not clear about these matters.

Originally, he just thought Liu Ergou was a skilled doctor, but unexpectedly he had another identity, an Ancient Martial Artist, which changed everything.

A powerful Ancient Martial Artist can't just be hired with money!

Upon hearing these words, Liu Ergou thought for a moment.

He asked a question that almost made Shen Manxuan flip the table.

"Madame Yuan, I have a small question, what exactly is a high-quality medicinal plant?"

"I know what medicinal plants are, but I'm not clear on what high quality means!"

Upon hearing this question, Shen Manxuan took a deep breath.

He forced himself to calm down.

Then he started to speak: "I've explained so much today, might as well explain a little more."

"I believe you know about medicinal plants, they're nothing more than herbs over a hundred years old."

"And the quality is divided into three kinds: one is low, another is medium, and another is high level."

"Their classification is simple: just over a hundred years is low, five hundred years is medium, and a thousand years is high level!"

Liu Ergou nodded after hearing this.

Hmm, indeed dealing with people from Jingdu broadens one's knowledge.

These things, Swallow Li never mentioned to me, truly infuriating.

Liu Ergou assured himself, once he returns to the village, he'll have a good talk with Swallow Li to see if there's anything else he hasn't told him.

To avoid going blind whenever he goes to Jingdu in the future.

Not knowing even when he's been tricked.

Thinking of this, Liu Ergou took a deep breath.

"It seems Madame Yuan is very sincere, which makes me obliged to agree!" Liu Ergou said with a smile.

"What you offer is indeed very generous, I'm tempted!"

When Shen Manxuan heard Liu Ergou's words, his eyes lit up instantly.

Great, after spending so much effort talking, Liu Ergou finally agreed, not easy at all.

However, before Shen Manxuan's joy lasted more than three seconds.

Liu Ergou's next words made Shen Manxuan frown again.

He heard Liu Ergou say: "Although I'm tempted, something is still missing, I'm still reluctant to agree!"

"Well, you see..."

Hearing this, Shen Manxuan couldn't hold it in anymore.

He pointed at Liu Ergou with clenched teeth and said: "Liu Ergou, don't push it!"

Shen Manxuan spoke with an angry face.

"I've shown the utmost sincerity, can't believe you're still being so unreasonable!"

"If that's the case, honestly, we have nothing more to discuss, don't think I'm scared because you're Qi-Transforming!"

"Don't forget, our Yuan Family is one of Jingdu's top five. I'm not boasting, but having two Postnatal Realm fighters handle you would be a breeze!"

Sitting on the sofa, Liu Ergou sighed inwardly seeing Shen Manxuan's reaction.

This woman, flipping so easily, can't she let me finish speaking?

Thinking of this, Liu Ergou spoke up: "Madame Yuan, don't rush, I'm speaking the truth, something crucial is indeed missing!"

"As a man, you should know what we like most, must I spell it out?"

Shen Manxuan calmed down upon hearing Liu Ergou's words.

Right, how could I forget this matter?

I haven't even mentioned this throughout, really can't blame Liu Ergou.

Thinking this, Shen Manxuan took two deep breaths to steady her mood.

Finally, she said: "You're right, I almost forgot!"

"Men simply enjoy beauty; upon joining the Yuan Family, women will flock to you, that's a given!"

"Of course, if you want exceptionally beautiful ones, that's easy too!"

But Liu Ergou shook his head.

"No no no!"

"Madame Yuan, what I prefer is rather peculiar, I fear you can't manage it!"

Hearing these words, Shen Manxuan laughed with disdain.

"Our Yuan Family can't manage it?"

"Are you joking? As long as you're not asking for the moon and stars, our Yuan Family can achieve it!"

"Speak up, what's your request! I'm curious to know how unique it is!"

But Liu Ergou didn't state his request, instead asking a peculiar question.

"Madame Yuan, surely with your experience in the Yuan Family, you have knowledge on history, right?"

This odd question left Shen Manxuan puzzled.

Yet he nodded.

"I know a bit, but how does this relate to our discussion?"

Liu Ergou nodded.

"It's very much related, actually, it's significantly related."

"Let me ask, do you know Cao Cao?"

Shen Manxuan nodded.

"Of course, he's from the Three Kingdoms era. How is he related?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ergou's lips curved into a strange smile.

"Good to know!"

"Well, I have similar tastes to Mr. Cao, I don't fancy the young inexperienced type, I prefer them more mature!"

"For instance, right? You understand, no need for further explanation!"

Hearing this, Shen Manxuan immediately nodded.

"I thought it was something else, just this, no issue!"

"No problem!"

With these words, Shen Manxuan's gaze turned to Lu Xiaoyu.

Being stared at by Shen Manxuan like this, Lu Xiaoyu felt uneasy.

"Um, Sister Shen, why are you looking at me like that!" Lu Xiaoyu asked timidly. "Is there something wrong with me?"

After hearing Lu Xiaoyu's question, Shen Manxuan directly asked: "Little Yu, if I remember correctly, you're in your 30s and single, right?"

Lu Xiaoyu gently nodded.

"Yes, why?"

But Shen Manxuan didn't respond to Lu Xiaoyu, instead turning to Liu Ergou.

"Isn't this ready-made, what's the difficulty here!"
