Chapter 135: Surrender of the Major Forces

"Great, now why don't we go back to your castle and talk about the deal more?" Wu Xiaotian said as he starts walking towards the city, the lady taking a final look at the sealed Calamity Beast before moving to follow him.

Seeing Astaria taking glances at the Calamity Beast, he decided to tell her his plans a bit earlier than expected.

"I merely sealed that thing, you can deal with it however you want once you break through the Pedestal Establishment Realm. Here, you can start with this" he explained before throwing an old book towards the valiant-looking lady, confusion and curiosity evident on her face as she skims the content of the book while asking Wu Xiaotian a question.

"Pedestal Establishment Realm?" she said while tilting her head, Wu Xiaotian slowing down his movement by a bit in order to match her pace, beginning to explain the nine realms of mortal cultivation as he knows it, omitting the part about celestials out of concern of the possibility of her losing confidence on herself.

'I can always tell her when she's strong enough' he convinced himself while they continue walking, eventually seeing waves of people rushing towards them from the city walls, their cheers echoing across the fields.

As they saw the cheerful faces of the citizen of the Frontier City, the two young people also noticed the dead bodies of the soldiers who bravely fought and defend their homes, the lady looking a bit downcast as she felt a pang in her heart whenever she thinks about the loved ones these people left behind with their death.

"I'm not going to make any excuse, I can help even earlier than I did, but…" before he could finish his sentence, Wu Xiaotian was interrupted by the lady, the words coming out of her mouth the very same one he wanted to say.

"But they're not your priority, and they're not your people, isn't it?" Astaria asked as she seriously looks at the young man, staring at him eye to eye, her expression that of someone who's about to decide something based on the next words the young man front of him says.

In response to her question, Wu Xiaotian just smiles helplessly, his squinted eyes still looking at hers while he answers.

"Indeed. Disillusioned of me now?"

"If I were to somehow agree with your deal, will they be your people as well?" Astaria asked, her emerald green eyes staring deeply at the young man in front of her, almost as if she's trying to see through the young man's soul.

"The moment you become one of my people, everyone under your command will be under my protection as well" Wu Xiaotian replied without a single trace of hesitation in his tone, making the lady stupefied as she feels the decisiveness in his voice.

"T-then, I accept your proposal" Astaria answered as the people approaching them finally have clear view of them, the people's voice cheering her name along with the 'god' beside her, shouting things such as her being a chosen one and her leading them for ten thousand years along with the god beside her.

Blushing of shame from the cheers she's hearing, she held Wu Xiaotian's hand while rushing towards the castle, not allowing a single person to catch up to her as she reaches the walls of her home in record time.

"Hoaaaam~~~ Finally!! Oh my god! Who would've thought that we will take this long just to sort out the small details of the deal!" laying down face flat on the soft chair behind her, Astaria complains repeatedly towards Wu Xiaotian who's currently fixing the drafts they created.

"You're still complaining huh? If not for you just accepting the initial proposal, we wouldn't spend almost an entire day just writing and rewriting everything from scratch" Wu Xiaotian replied while he starts packing everything up, putting the final draft of the deal in a neat folder that appears in his hand.

"Isn't that thing really convenient?" Astaria asked while looking at the ring in the immortal-like young man's hand, eyeing it as if she also wants a similar one.

Seeing the desire in her eyes, Wu Xiaotian just pulls out another spatial ring from an inner pocket of his clothes, throwing it towards the valiant-looking lady, who inspects it immediately,

"Why carry this? Why don't you just put it inside the ring in your finger" Astaria asked as she fits the ring on her left index finger, playing around it, taking objects in and out of the space inside the spatial ring. Enjoy more content from m-v l'e|-NovelFire.net

"If you place a pocket inside a pocket, will the space they hold double?" Wu Xiaotian asked mockingly, his eyes looking at the lady as if taunting her for being ignorant.

"I'm just asking you know? Don't look at me like I am dumb, this is what's called curiosity" the valiant-looking lady retorted with a smug look on her face, as if confident that there's nothing that the young man in front of her can say to retort against her words.

"Mhm, call it whatever you want, dumb, ignorant, stupid, it's the same thing you're experiencing either way" Wu Xiaotian smiles towards her as he placed the papers down, surprising Astaria as the towering paper is extremely familiar with the one's she's usually dealing with in another battlefield, her office.

"Do I need to…" as she begins to fear the loads of paper on the table, her question was immediately interrupted by the young man in front of her, knowing full well what she's wondering about.

"Indeed, you need to read everything in written there" Wu Xiaotian said, standing up and opening the door of the room as he waves his hand goodbye, pausing for a bit as if he remembers something that he needs to tell her.

"Oh that's right, pay close attention as the places you need to sign are spread all across the paper, there are a total of eighteen pages you need to sign, and if you miss even a single one of them, the binding rule of that paper will disappear, and we need to do it all over again" he warned causing her to take this even more seriously, her helpless face as she curses the young man as he leaves making the young man smile quite a bit from entertainment, in addition to the fact that multiple good news are appearing in front of him as the system's screen continuously updates the words on it.
