Chapter 251:Three Thousand Roses

Chapter 251: Chapter 251:Three Thousand Roses

The two women continued their verbal sparring, each trying to outdo the other with their rhetoric. They were relentless, with no repetition, all trying to "win" with reason. Adai stood on the side, accustomed to it all. He acted as if he hadn't heard anything, while Zhongshan enjoyed watching the two women argue.

Only the shop owner was feeling the pressure. He was sweating profusely, feeling anxious as he listened to the two women argue. He wanted to just give the Ink Jade Sky Tail to Nian Youyou, but he was afraid. How could he give it to her without making it too obvious? If he did, she might not want it anymore.

The two women were now fighting for a moral victory. The quality of the item no longer mattered.

"Both of you, let me make the decision," the shop owner finally couldn't bear it anymore. Listening to the two women argue, and having picked out a customer himself, only to watch as the merchandise was passed back and forth, he felt like he was on the brink of death. It was torturous.

"Alright, boss, you better decide carefully," Princess Qianyou smiled.

"Yes, after all I said so much just now, don't let me down," Nian Youyou also stopped and said.

At this moment, Zhongshan also sensed something was wrong, but where was the problem? The shop owner kept looking at Nian Youyou as if wanting her to buy it. Also, was it really true that every household in Fengling City had Sky Tails, and that shops were only open to outsiders? That didn't seem right. At the very least, where he lived, there were none.

Regardless, Zhongshan gave Adai a signal.

Adai nodded slightly and began to cast a spell.

"Ouch~" Suddenly, the shop owner clutched his dantian in pain, his face twisted in agony.

"Boss, boss, what's wrong?" A shop assistant rushed over to help.

Sweat poured down the shop owner's forehead, and both women frowned and looked at Adai strangely, then at Zhongshan.

"I don't know, my true essence suddenly went off course. I can't go on like this; I must adjust my breath. Otherwise, it'll be disastrous if I lose control of my powers," the shop owner said, his face contorted in pain as if even speaking was difficult.

"Boss, boss!" The shop assistant helped the boss into the back room.

Once in the back room, the shop owner seemed to recover a bit. Looking at the Ink Jade Sky Tail in his hand, he was startled. "Quickly go back and sell this Ink Jade Sky Tail to the girl on the right. Hurry, even if you don't take any money, give it to her."

"Yes," the shop assistant said, feeling puzzled, and quickly ran out.

However, when the shop assistant came out, she was dumbfounded because at this moment, the two women were standing in a straight line, a north-south line. Right side? There was no right side now, only front and back.

"The boss told me to sell it to you," the shop assistant said with a perplexed tone.

Hearing the shop assistant's return, the two women immediately stepped forward again.

"Give it to me," Nian Youyou said.

"Give it to me," Princess Qianyou said.

The shop assistant looked at the two women, feeling a bit puzzled. Who did the boss say to give it to? But no matter who, they were together.

"Um, whoever offers more money, I'll give it to them," the shop assistant said. Obviously unable to find the person, she had to make the decision herself, hoping this would make up for the boss's earlier mistake.

"Twenty thousand, just twenty thousand. We won't add a single spirit stone. It's up to you," Nian Youyou smiled.

Hearing Nian Youyou's words, the shop assistant frowned, feeling a bit stuck.

"How about this, my husband once gave me a method, which can turn an Ascending Pill into a Infant Transformation Pill out of thin air. I won't pay, and I'll exchange it for this secret technique. What do you say?" Princess Qianyou suddenly smiled.

"Turn an Ascending Pill into an Infant Transformation Pill out of thin air?" Nian Youyou looked at Zhongshan with disbelief.

Zhongshan could only smile wryly and nod, admitting it.

"Impossible!" The shop assistant immediately exclaimed.

"I think it should be Xieyan's demonic seed," Nian Youyou said with glee.

"Demonic seed?" Princess Qianyou's face was full of fear and panic.

"What's a demonic seed? What is it used for?" Zhongshan asked immediately.

Adai also looked worried, but he quickly explained to Zhongshan, because now, for Adai, the master's wish was everything. Since the master was so magical, he must be able to save the princess.

"Three days? You said three days? If the demonic seed isn't removed within three days, it will take root and sprout inside the princess's body, and there will be no chance to remove it. Half a year later, even her thoughts will be controlled, turning her into a pure slave?" Zhongshan's eyes widened.

"Yes," Adai said, hopeful.

"What's the way to remove it? How do we remove it?" Zhongshan immediately asked.

"The demonic seed was left behind by the former demonic lord. Unless we return to the imperial court and have the Emperor or the strongest like the First Crown Prince remove it, it's impossible. Oh, there's a mysterious figure here, Xuan Yuan. I've never been able to see through him, but perhaps he can help," Adai said immediately.

"Xuan Yuan? He's neither alive nor dead. Apart from guarding the seal, he won't help you with anything else, and you don't even know him," Nian Youyou suddenly laughed.

Turning to look at Nian Youyou, Zhongshan frowned, staring at her intently.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Nian Youyou suddenly asked, puzzled.

"Do you know another method?" Zhongshan said with certainty. Because Zhongshan knew that if Nian Youyou didn't have a solution, she wouldn't be in her current demeanor, at least not gloating. And most importantly, Nian Youyou didn't leave, as if waiting for Zhongshan to ask her.

"I do know another method, but why should I help you?" Nian Youyou suddenly teased.

Seeing Nian Youyou still using her charm at this moment, Zhongshan felt helpless. "Alright, what do you want? You're here, which means you want to negotiate terms with me."

With a slightly surprised look at Zhongshan, Nian Youyou said, "I'm starting to like you more and more. But for this method, I'm really reluctant to use it on her."

Hearing Nian Youyou's words, everyone looked at her.

"Speak, what are your conditions?" Zhongshan said.

"Rarely do I compete with Princess Qianyou, but your method ruined it all. You've really hurt my feelings. No, if you're giving her that method, you also have to give me something similar," Nian Youyou said with a smile.

With a slight frown, Zhongshan said helplessly, "What do you want me to give you?"

"Flowers. I like roses. There are three thousand types of roses in the world. I want you to personally pick one of each kind for me, and for each one you give me, you have to say a love phrase to me. How about that?" Nian Youyou blinked and said.

Looking at Nian Youyou, Zhongshan was speechless. "How long do I have?"

"Complete it within a hundred years," Nian Youyou said.

"Okay!" Zhongshan agreed readily. At the same time, he was very puzzled. Why wasn't Nian Youyou as entangled this time?

Seeing Zhongshan agree, Nian Youyou smiled triumphantly, then looked at Princess Qianyou.

But Princess Qianyou looked at Nian Youyou with indignation.

"The stuff of the Netherworld, I've researched it in the Longevity Realm. Demonic seeds, slave thoughts... They can only be removed when a person's mind is in a state of egolessness," Nian Youyou said.

"How do we achieve that?" Zhongshan frowned.

In a swift motion, Nian Youyou produced a small purple bottle with a sinister smile.

"What's this?" Zhongshan frowned.

"A love potion. A spring potion," Nian Youyou laughed.
