Chapter 659: Showdown (Part II)
In the Imperial Palace.
At the negotiation table, Princess Qi calmly stared at Yun Haoyu opposite for a full ten minutes.
There was not the slightest hint of anger in her eyes, not even any other mood swings, but everyone in the hall felt an invisible pressure that grew stronger as time passed! Even those who are extremely powerful have a terrible feeling that they are about to suffocate!
However, His Majesty the Emperor, who was in the center of the pressure, showed no signs of discomfort, he just sat leisurely in his chair and looked back at the princess opposite him with admiration.
It seems that the princess's terrifying spiritual coercion has not affected him as much as her own charm!
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I want to talk to you alone!" After a long time, a cold voice sounded in the empty hall.
"Of course, that's fine!" Yun Haoyu was as good as a stream, got up and said to her:
"Let's go out and talk!"
So, the two walked out of the main hall and walked along the crystal corridor all the way to the back garden of the imperial palace.
On the way, she just lowered her head and stroked the jade flute in her hand, and didn't open her mouth for a long time. Yun Haoyu didn't urge, and he didn't hang out with her arrogantly.
Although it is autumn, the scenery in the back garden has not been affected at all, all kinds of strange flowers and plants, and a variety of precious flowers are still blooming and fragrant!
Princess Qi pursed her red lips and thought about it for a long time, and finally said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, are you really unwilling to change your mind?" ”
"I've never changed my mind, and I've never felt like there's anything wrong with my thoughts!" Yun Haoyu said lightly, "Bow down to the alien race, don't say it's me, even any human with some self-esteem will not accept such a thing!" ”
"In the face of glory and wealth, what use can the so-called dignity and integrity withstand?" She sneered slightly, "I've seen a lot of people in this palace who claim to regard fame, fortune and wealth as dung, but when piles of source crystal bricks and groups of beautiful women appear in front of them, those things are just tools for them to exchange benefits!" ”
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you have been abandoned by the big family since you were a child, and you have struggled from the lowest level of human society! It should be clearer that there is no human being who does not think about himself, as long as his own interests can be guaranteed, even if others live a miserable life, what does it have to do with himself? Even if that person is of his own kind! ”
Yun Haoyu said calmly: "You are right, human beings are indeed selfish creatures, no matter how noble a person is, it is impossible for him to be selfless, including me!" However, this is not a reason to turn your back on human society! I am of pure human blood, and I am the emperor of the human empire, so of course I can only put the interests of my own people first in everything! ”
"What kind of conditions do you need to agree to sign a contract?" Princess Qi stopped, looked back at him and said:
"At first glance, this treaty is indeed a loss to you! But have you ever thought about it, no matter how much human society loses, as the emperor, and the royal family behind you, it will never be affected in the slightest! ”
"As long as you sign the treaty, you will still be the emperor of the empire, enjoying high power, endless wealth and beautiful women! The royal family is still royal, and everything is the same as before! I don't know what you're still holding onto! ”
Yun Haoyu smiled: "Then tell me, why did I agree to your unreasonable request?" Why do you ask human society to make such a sacrifice without enough rewards? Now we are not the servants of the Bojiang clan, are we? ”
She said slowly: "Anyone has a price, as long as the price given is enough, this palace can buy anyone who wants to buy, in the past, this palace has done a lot of such things!" As long as human nature remains the same, the means of this palace will still be effective! ”
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you now have an empire, so to buy you, the price that needs to be offered is indeed a bit high, and it is not something that can be bought by ordinary things! However, Hongu is still confident that he can come up with enough to make your heart flutter! ”
"I want to hear about it!" Yun Haoyu smiled, "Actually, I also want to see where my psychological bottom line is?" What kind of interests do you need to shake my will! I hope the princess doesn't let me down! ”
Princess Qi nodded reservedly, took out a palm-sized light brain and handed it to him: "You can take a look first!" ”
After Yun Haoyu took it over and activated, a huge light screen appeared in front of him, which was densely packed with the names of items.
He took a closer look and found that all of them were rare treasures famous in the sea of stars, and most of them were valuable treasures! There are so many types, so high value, and so many quantities that even he, as the lord of the empire, has a feeling of shock!
In addition to the treasures, the most valuable ones are those rare potions that are of great benefit to the cultivation of abilities, with these things, it is completely possible to cultivate an astonishing number of super strong legions composed of saint-level powerhouses in a short period of time!
"There are many treasures in it, which were previously only available to members of our imperial royal family!" She smiled and introduced, "Your Majesty, as long as you get these things, you can completely create a powerful force that is purely loyal to the royal family!" With them, no family can pose a threat to the royal family! In addition, the palace also brought three hundred beauties, all of whom were of noble blood selected from the major wealthy nobles who were in the imperial court! ”
"As long as Your Majesty nods, these are all Your Majesty's alone!"
"It's a great gift, but it's not enough to make me give up my principles!" Yun Haoyu closed the light screen and said lightly:
"I have an empire in my hands, so these things are not indispensable, and I don't need to go far and near!"
Qi nodded slightly: "Yes, of course, these alone are not enough to make you bow your head!" So, what about the Southwest Star Sea? Can it make you tempted? ”
"Southwest Star Sea?" Yun Haoyu was shocked in his heart, and asked quietly, "According to your covenant, isn't that the territory of the Yanwei people?" You say this because you want to ......"
"It's very simple, the Southwest Star Sea is now scattered, and that group of half-human, half-snake guys are trying to find a way to lay out, trying to unify the Southwest Star Sea into a big country!" Qi smiled and said, "If you can agree to our request, then the Bojiang Empire will send troops to contain the Yanwei clan for the Starlight Empire, and withstand the pressure from the other two clans, and Your Majesty, you can lead the fleet and safely incorporate more than 7,000 star fields in the entire Southwest Star Sea into the empire's territory!" In this way, the Starlight Empire will possess two-thirds of the human world's territory! What do you think? ”
At this moment, even Yun Haoyu had to be surprised by the courage of the Bojiang clan! One-third of the Star Sea Worlds were actually sent out so easily! Of course, it can't be said to be a send, after all, he still has to rely on his own fleet to fight down, but with their shots, the pressure on the Starlight Empire will indeed be much less!
Yun Haoyu pondered for a moment and said softly: "The Yanwei clan is not what it used to be, and the empire is no longer the empire of the past, I am confident that with the strength of the empire alone, it will also take the southwest star sea!" Therefore, the attraction of this condition to me is not as great as you think! ”
Princess Qi's face was a little cold: "Don't underestimate those guys!" Although they have suffered a lot in your hands in the past few years, as an old civilization, it is by no means something that a human empire can easily bully! Without our containment and help, the Starlight Empire's little background would not be enough to see in front of them! ”
"Okay, you don't know until you've beaten it!" Yun Haoyu said indifferently, "Since I started my family, I haven't encountered a really difficult opponent, I hope this race will not disappoint me too much!" ”
"In other words, you're still not willing to sign a contract?" Princess Qi couldn't imagine that this emperor would still refuse her proposal in the face of such generous conditions!
Ren is she has excellent self-cultivation, and she is also a little annoyed at this time!
"Yes, because these conditions are still not to the point where I can abandon my principles!" Yun Haoyu said without flinching.
"Alright! Since such conditions are not enough to make you tempted, then, this thing in the hands of this palace, why don't you refuse it, right? She hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a palm-sized, white crystal ball from the space bracelet.
The crystal ball is translucent, and inside it is enclosed in something like a small green sapling.
On the sapling, there are three small and delicate branches, each of which has several golden slender leaves, with pale red, capillary-like textures, and circles of lilac brilliance escaping from the sapling!
With his divine thoughts, even with the seal of the crystal ball, he could still clearly feel the amazing vitality contained in that little sapling, as well as the essence of life that was pure and rich to the extreme!
"This is a peerless secret treasure unique to the royal family of the Bojiang Empire, 'Shadow Divine Wood'!" She proudly explained, "As long as you get it and integrate its body into your body, it will have unexpected benefits for ability cultivation, and within twenty years, you can be promoted from activating ability to the level of the Brilliant God King!" Of course, its most important use is to greatly extend people's lifespan! ”
"How much can it be extended?" Yun Haoyu asked with some surprise.
Qi said confidently: "Your Majesty, this palace knows that you are the so-called perfect gene in the human world, and now you also have the strength of the Youhuang God King, as long as there are no accidents, it will not be a problem to live for thousands of years!" ”
"But with it, your lifespan can be extended to at least about five thousand years, and you can always maintain the same youthful and energetic state as you are now, as a monarch who rules over a vast territory and trillions of people, what does it mean, I don't need to say more about this palace, right?"
Yun Haoyu's face changed instantly, as a king with supreme power, endless resources and wealth, the biggest regret is that he can't resist the erosion of time! Throughout the ages, how many emperors have spent all their efforts in pursuit of immortality in order to get what they want!
In the interstellar era, thanks to genetic optimization reagents, the general lifespan of human beings has reached five hundred years, and those with abilities above the Holy Rank will live even longer! But the longest-lived powerhouse cannot live for a thousand years!
Such a thing against the sky is afraid that it is extremely rare in the royal family of the Bojiang Empire, and it is even more willing to be exchanged for it by the king of any human power at any cost!
Now that such a fatal temptation is in front of him, how should he choose?
(I'm sorry, this one is late, it's yesterday, and there will be two more today!) )
