Chapter 1319: Yanran Will Be Your Woman
Upon hearing Xiang Shaoyun\'s words, Liu Yanran\'s expression changed several times. She had not imagined that Xiang Shaoyun would be so blunt with his words. This meeting had taken a direction none of them had expected.
Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to leave the hall, Liu Yanran withdrew her pride and said, "Please wait, Young Master Xiang. The Brightflower Chamber needs the Ziling Sect\'s help."
Xiang Shaoyun stopped and smiled before saying, "You\'re finally willing to be honest?"
Liu Yanran nodded and said, "Young Master Xiang is too wise. If Yanran continues playing tricks before you, it would be disrespectful. Are you willing to give me a chance to explain my story?"
Xiang Shaoyun went back to his seat and sent the others away. Liu Yanran also sent the other beauties out of the hall. Only the two remained.
"You can talk now," said Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly.
"I believe you must have investigated us before. Something had happened to our chamber master, and things aren\'t looking too well for the chamber. Thus, we hope to form an alliance with your sect and consolidate our strength together," said Liu Yanran.
Xiang Shaoyun bluntly replied, "If you\'re going to continue saying such empty words, we can stop this meeting."
Liu Yanran bit her lips and said, "Young Master Xiang, our Saint Realm elders had all died in the Devil Domain. Our subordinates are also stirring and creating trouble. I have no way of keeping the peace for long. I only hope that you will be willing to lend us a helping hand. When everything settles down, the Brightflower Chamber will be the Ziling Sect\'s most faithful ally."
She was finally speaking the truth. Xiang Shaoyun could see that she was being forthright from the look in her eyes. He was also aware that many Saints had headed into the Devil Domain prior to the Devil Hunting Expedition. Those Saints were mainly in charge of stopping the advance of the Devil Saints. It wasn\'t surprising that the Brightflower Chamber\'s Saints had perished in the Devil Domain.
However, he couldn\'t understand why they would have all their experts hunt devils. Wasn\'t that the same as digging their own grave? Xiang Shaoyun lightly tapped his armrest with his fingers as he sank into thought. The tapping sounds seemed to reach Liu Yanran\'s very heart, making her even more nervous.
Only now did she notice that this handsome young man was emanating an extremely strong pressure. In fact, when she faced him, it was as though she was facing one of her Saint Realm elders. But Xiang Shaoyun\'s cultivation level should be similar to hers, so the pressure didn\'t make any sense.
"I believe you. But what do I stand to gain from helping you?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.
"What do you need? You can freely pick one out of my 17 sisters as your woman. I believe any of them can serve you well," said Liu Yanran.
"You think I lack women?" asked Xiang Shaoyun with a smile. "I don\'t want them. I want you."
Facing Xiang Shaoyun\'s aggressive gaze, Liu Yanran trembled. She bit her lips and said, "If you\'re willing to help, Yanran will be your woman."
"Sigh. Looks like your Brightflower Chamber is really in quite a bit of trouble," said Xiang Shaoyun with a sigh. "Are you not afraid that I\'ll take this chance to take over the Brightflower Chamber?"
Liu Yanran paled. "Young Master Xiang, I doubt you\'re the kind of person who would step on someone who is down."
"Nobody would dislike having more territories," said Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly. "Offer some benefits, or you may leave."
Liu Yanran was feeling extremely gloomy. After saying so much and even offering herself, Xiang Shaoyun still wasn\'t willing to agree. She was getting distressed.
"The Brightflower Chamber owns a unique place called the Brightflower Land. It is a unique place where a mirage called Brightflower Landscape will appear every 10 years. The landscape can help one comprehend the dao and increase one\'s cultivation. In about three months, the Brightflower Landscape will reappear. If you can lend us a hand, we\'re willing to allow you to enter the Brightflower Land once. I believe that place will help your cultivation," Liu Yanran finally showed some sincerity.
Xiang Shaoyun had long heard of a unique secret land owned by the Brightflower Chamber. However, nobody knew where the place was. In fact, nobody knew if such a place existed. His interest was piqued by what Liu Yanran said.
"Very well. I wish to enter with five other people. If you agree, we can form this alliance. The Ziling Sect will help solve your internal issues," said Xiang Shaoyun.
"That won\'t work. Only three people can enter that place at once," said Liu Yanran.
"Don\'t be so quick to reject. We can go in batches. After 10 years, I\'ll send three more people there," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.
Liu Yanran was speechless. She had not imagined that this was what Xiang Shaoyun was aiming for. She didn\'t know what to say. Xiang Shaoyun continued listing a few other conditions. He wouldn\'t make his sect work hard just so a few people could enter the Brightflower Land. He also needed some other benefits. After all, Saints were required to help the Brightflower Chamber. A price must be paid.
Liu Yanran\'s face turned unsightly when she heard all the conditions. She had never imagined that a young man like this would be so greedy. He was basically asking for two years worth of the Brightflower Chamber\'s income.
"There, that\'s all I need. If you can\'t make the decision, feel free to tell me later. I\'ll spend some more time here. But after I enter the Saintforce Realm, I\'m afraid you won\'t be able to find me anymore. Nobody else in the sect would dare to make this decision on my behalf," said Xiang Shaoyun.
"Young Master Xiang, don\'t you think that your conditions are somewhat unreasonable?" asked Liu Yanran.
"If that\'s what you think, I won\'t force you. Feel free to leave," said Xiang Shaoyun. As he held the initiative, he wasn\'t even bothered with trying to persuade Liu Yanran.
Liu Yanran was feeling terrible. She had expected that Xiang Shaoyun would ask for a lot from them, but his conditions were still far too much for her to accept. She took her leave and told Xiang Shaoyun that she would give him an answer in half a month.
Xiang Shaoyun happily saw her off in a friendly manner. In fact, he was really in an excellent mood. What the Ziling Sect lacked currently were numerous different resources. He was naturally happy to see that the Brightflower Chamber could provide them with some badly needed resources.
In truth, forming an alliance with the Brightflower Chamber would also help them. The alliance would also be a show of force for the Dragon Society. One could say that this alliance would benefit them greatly.
Naturally, he had also considered taking over the Brightflower Chamber. But he soon rejected that idea. The Ziling Sect couldn\'t even fully consolidate their existing territory yet. Expanding at this time would be unwise.
