Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 522: Is This Considered Leverage?

First-class VIPs can sell immortal treasures and artifacts to the Celestial Pavilion at 90% of their price.

With the number of spoils Azure Dragon Valley has accumulated recently, elevating from third-class to first-class is quite a tremendous gain.

That represents a massive amount of cultivation resources.

Besides, there’s the future to consider.

While Cang Ji and Mo Feng Quasi-Emperor were recalculating values over there, Miao Yu pulled Brother Cheng into her palace.

"How exactly did you do it?"

"Were you an Immortal Emperor in the past, and are now cultivating anew?"

In fact, the person most incredulous about Brother Cheng’s achievements was her.

Because she had seen Jiang Cheng when he was just an Immortal Venerable.

She clearly remembered that this guy failed to break through to Immortal King back then and even came to ask her for the reason.

From that time to now, it’s only been over a hundred years.

Most of the time spent breaking through stages within the Enlightenment Immortal Tree.

In such a short time, not only did he reach Immortal King, but crossed the nine small realms of Immortal King to become an early-stage Quasi-Emperor.

If this were to get out, it would cause a great upheaval across the Six Realms.

Moreover, he even slew Chunhua and Zidian, two Immortal Emperors, with this early-stage Quasi-Emperor realm.

"Just did it like that, told you earlier that my unique aura must be different from others."

Brother Cheng transformed back to human form, smugly brushing his own beautiful hair.

"Are you going to tell me or not?"

Fairy Miao was so angry she was gnashing her teeth.

In this guy’s presence, it became harder for her to maintain her image.

"What if I don’t?"

Brother Cheng touched his chin, chuckling oddly: "Then bite me? I must admit I’d be looking forward to that!"

"You!"

Miao Yu, gritting her teeth, suddenly turned her beautiful eyes rapidly, teasing, "You think I really have no way to deal with you?"

Brother Cheng was somewhat curious, didn’t seem like she had any handle over him.

"Speak, let me hear?"

"You are human race, right?"

"Mhm."

"That settles it!"

Miao Yu leisurely sipped the fragrant tea, and calmly said, "Though I don’t know how you got the Azure Dragon bloodline, but imagine you, a human race pretending to be an Azure Dragon and becoming Lord of the Earth Department. What if I let that slip?"

"That’s all?"

Brother Cheng thought she’d say something significant.

What’s there as leverage?

"You’re just pretending to be calm, don’t think I don’t know."

"Girl, you simply believe your own judgment; I truly don’t care,"

Brother Cheng proudly raised his eyebrows: "Back then, even Cyan Dragon Emperor determined I was human, but later I passed the Dragon Sealing Pool trial. People won’t believe you even if you say it!"

"You actually passed the test of Dragon Sealing Pool?"

"That’s right."

This time Miao Yu appeared more relaxed.

"If I asked how you passed it, you’d certainly say it’s because of your distinctive aura, right?"

Brother Cheng chuckled: "You understand me well!"

"And what about this?"

Miao Yu pointed to the side with her jade-like fingers, a small Memorial Immortal Artifact flew between them.

Once activated, the previous dialogue and images between the two were vividly displayed.

Brother Cheng couldn’t help but curse: "Damn, you’re really despicable?"

This time it was Miao Yu’s turn to smile sweetly.

"Better safe than sorry!"

"Actually, it’s okay if you don’t want to say, I know everyone has secrets they don’t wish to disclose."

She quickly put away the Memorial Immortal Artifact, hiding it protectively.

Brother Cheng saw her smile for the first time and felt as if the cold palace suddenly became the warmth of spring.

"So what do you want?"

Frankly, such leverage had no real deterrent to him.

So what if his human race identity was exposed?

He was merely curious about what this woman wanted, so he pretended to care, awaiting her next words.

"I have two conditions."

Miao Yu slowly extended two fingers.

The fingers, white as jade, bent slightly, "Firstly, you must promise not to lay hands on the Celestial Pavilion’s people in the future."

Brother Cheng assumed she might propose some earth-shattering condition, but this was it?

Then he shook his head.

"Do you think I’m stupid, what if the Celestial Pavilion people target me and my folks one day?"

"What do you take our Celestial Pavilion for?"

Miao Yu was both amused and exasperated: "We’re a neutral commerce association, we never provoke others but only deal with those who provoke us."

Truth be told, she couldn’t quite understand what Brother Cheng was contemplating.

It seemed there was no one he dared not kill.

What if this madman targeted Celestial Pavilion in the future?

Judging by his haggling style during each transaction, it wasn’t impossible for greed to arise unexpectedly.

Brother Cheng nodded: "Fine, as long as Celestial Pavilion doesn’t provoke me, I can assure no harm comes to them."

"Secondly, I hope you can serve as my guard for three million years, keeping me safe."

"What?"

Brother Cheng nearly jumped.

"How long? Three million years?"

"Why don’t you say three hundred billion years?"

Though this girl was stunningly beautiful, being a personal guard is a pleasant occupation that everyone understands.

Others might strive for such a position.

But the duration was too long.

Sect Leader Jiang, with a heart set on exploring the cosmos, always thinking of showcasing his grandeur, couldn’t possibly spend three million years with one girl.

If it were three hundred years...

No, if it were three years, he might consider it.

"You’re not willing?" Miao Yu looked disappointed.

"Certainly not!"

"If you agree, from now on any transactions between the Feixian Sect and Azure Dragon Valley with my Celestial Pavilion will be evenly exchanged, without us earning a single Immortal Crystal."

Fairy Miao seemed genuinely to value his power, offering compensation actively.

Do you take me for a sell-out?

"Not at all!"

"With our relationship, can’t you help with this little favor? Three million years aren’t long."

Three million years might not be long for other immortals, but for Brother Cheng, it’s very long.

His lips curled slightly, teasingly, "Who has a relationship with you? Someone seemed to say that before!"

"Wasn’t I just in a temper that time?"

Seeing her insist so strongly, even altering her usual demeanor, Sect Leader Jiang felt genuinely curious.

"Why do you want me so desperately to be your personal guard?"

He asked puzzlingly, "Isn’t your Celestial Pavilion filled with experts, aren’t there three Immortal Emperors altogether, can’t they protect you?"

Miao Yu frowned slightly, revealing a trace of sorrow: "I have ineffable secret worries."

"What ineffable secret worries, that your period has come? A three million year one?"

"What period?"

"Nothing... you refuse to say anything, clearly digging a pit for me to fall into."

"This matter is complex." Miao Yu’s words remained elusive.

"Perhaps I can solve your doubts."

A voice broke the silence from the shadows, it was the Azure Dragon Empress.

"Who?"

Miao Yu was startled, searching with immortal soul but found nothing.

"Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, not seen for six hundred billion years! Hope you’ve been well!"

Cang Ling laughed, with a tone heavy with sly humor: "Cang Cheng, this junior is very dear to me, you can’t take him away, best not to waste your energy."

"Is that you? Cang Ling?"

Miao Yu finally realized.

"Weren’t you long dead, but still alive?"
