Chapter 276.3. Child Bride...


    What? Huo Yuhao! Xu Jiujiu was immediately riled up, and she leapt to her feet as her perky chest pumped up and down. She gritted her teeth and said, It hasnt even been two days, and youre ying me already?


    Huo Yuhao shivered all over and said, I wouldnt dare to think of it. You cant say things like this, princess! I still have to find a wife.


    You Xu Jiujiu felt as if she were going insane  this guy was just too hateful.


    Wang Donger was behind Huo Yuhao, and she discreetly pinched him in the back. This bastard  hes twisting her words, and yet hes making himself sound so logical, as if hes right. She was also a girl, and Wang Donger was starting to sympathize with Princess Jiujiu. Of course, she was dressed like a guy at the moment, so she couldnt express anything that resembled a girls emotions, so she could only lower her head and force back her amusement.


    The Starcloud Douluo immediately became a little unfriendly. She lowered her voice and said, Do you know what youre doing? Karma will find you if you go back on your word. It was obvious that her words were hostile and threatening.


    Huo Yuhao heaved a faint sigh. He forced augh and said, Im so sorry  I dont wish for this to happen either. But you guys also know the Sun Moon Empire has monopolized seventy percent of the Continents rare metals, and theyve prohibited exports. The Tang Sect has just been reestablished, so how can we have any channels or avenues to purchase resources and materials in bulk? Thankfully, Shrek City is developed and wealthy enough. Otherwise, we might not even be able to guarantee delivery and supply of our goods. Theck of resources and materials will undoubtedly lead to a rise in price. Theres nothing I can do about that.


    Xu Jiujiu said angrily, Enough with that nonsense. The few of you make the decisions within the Tang Sect anyway. Furthermore, do you dare to im that the Tang Sect is not rted to Shrek Academy in any way? How can you guysck materials and resources with Shrek Academy redirecting resources from Shrek City? Furthermore, all you need to craft your Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon is some rtively high-density steel.


    Xu Jiujiu was responsible for the Star Luo Empires intelligence, so she wasnt that easy to deceive.


    Huo Yuhao sighed and said, Since thats the case, then you can find out how many customers we have at the moment. Both the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Dou Ling Empire are both important business partners for us. Youre right  our Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannons outer body only requires tough steel. But what about its formation arrays? Can we actually craft these formation arrays without rare metals?


    Xu Jiujiuughed coldly and said, We cant take apart its formation arrays anyway. It will explode if we do that, so you can say whatever you want about it.


    Huo Yuhao frowned and said, Princess, if you keep negotiating with me with such a rejecting attitude, I believe theres no need for us to continue this negotiation. If we want to be partners, we have to build this partnership on mutual trust and benefit as the foundations. Im really sorry about the rise in price, but theres really nothing we can do about that. How about this  you can go back and cool off, and you can calcte how much our Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannons and our sealed Milk Bottles are worth after the intion before we continue any further negotiations.


    Hmph! Xu Jiujiu grunted furiously before she started walking out of the room. She seemed enraged, but she was extremely calm inside  she was clear that she had beenpletely defeated by Huo Yuhao in this negotiation, and there was no other possible oue than amodating his demands if they continued with the negotiation. But she was absolutely unwilling to do that! She believed that Huo Yuhao and the Tang Sect would never give up a customer as big as the Star Luo Empire.


    Right at this moment, knocking sounds could be heard once more, and Princess Jiujiu halted in her tracks as she was walking to the door.


    Wang Donger walked over to open the door, and there were two pretty girls and a middle-aged man standing outside.


    The person standing in front of the group was a young girl in a long white dress. She had a certain cold and crisp quality about her, and her features were very attractive. This girl was also mildly surprised when Wang Donger opened the door, and her eyes seemed to be searching her memory as she mumbled, You Who are you?


    Wang Donger smiled and said, What? Dont you recognize me, Mu Xue? Im Wang Dong. Weve been acquainted for some time.


    Donger dressed like a guy was something that most girls couldnt resist. Even though Wang Dong used to have short hair, her unrivaled good looks were enough to enchant every single girl.


    Mu Xue cleared her throat, and the iciness on her face melted a little. Oh, its you. When Ist met Huo Yuhao, the girl beside him looked a lot like you.


    Wang Donger answered inly, Her name is Wang Qiuer, and shes part of the team representing Shrek Academy. I believe you will meet her soon during thepetition.


    Shes your sister? It was clear that Mu Xues eyes sparkled with curiosity and the desire for gossip.


    Wang Donger smiled. Are you here today to ask me about such things?


    Mu Xue froze, and she shot a faintly resentful look at her as she said, Can we go inside now? Is Huo Yuhao around? Weve already conducted experiments and field-tests with the item that hes given us. Were here today to talk about bing business partners.


    Wang Donger opened the door and made a gesture to invite them inside.


    The three of them entered the room, and they ran straight into Princess Jiujiu, who was just standing there. Xu Jiujius eyes didnt pause on Mu Xue, and she looked beyond her at the second girl behind her.


    This girl was wearing a long yellow dress, and she seemed extremely gentle. Water seemed to meander within her beautiful eyes, and Xu Jiujiu could still feel that subtle tenderness even though she was looking her from afar. This girl was even prettier than Mu Xue.


    Wei Na? Xu Jiujiu eximed.


    The young girl looked at her and said, Why are you here, Jiujiu? The yellow-dressed girls pleasant voice could be heard as she took a few steps forward. She had a look of pleasant surprise on her face.


    Wei Na and Mu Xue were part of thepany from the Heavenly Soul Empire that Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger had run into when they were inside the Great Star Dou Forest. The middle-aged man that had apanied them here today was Mo Feiyun, the same man that led the group back then.


    Huo Yuhao turned his wheelchair with one hand, and he smiled at Mo Feiyun. Greetings, Uncle Mo. Its been a while.


    Mo Feiyun was astonished when he saw the state that Huo Yuhao was in. Yuhao, you


    Huo Yuhao forced augh and said, I was in an ident. I can only move this arm at the moment. He moved his right arm as he spoke.


    Mu Xue and Wei Na looked over when they overheard Huo Yuhao and Mo Feiyuns conversation. Mu Xue was also momentarily stunned when she saw Huo Yuhao sitting in a wheelchair.


    You what happened to you? Why are you like that? It wasnt too long ago that she had met Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiuer. She had never expected that this energetic and fearsome youth from before would be a cripple when they met again.


    Huo Yuhaoughed mockingly at himself. Perhaps this is my punishment for trespassing over the airspace of the Heavenly Soul Empires capital city. Greetings, Mu Xue. Hello, Wei Na.


    Hello. Wei Na stared at Huo Yuhao, and it was clear that her eyes flowed with faint pity and sympathy. It was a terrible thing for a soul master to be able to move only one arm, but he seemed very open-minded about it.


    The organizingmittee had allocated the lowest-tier room to the team from the Tang Sect, and there were now so many people standing around inside that it felt a little packed.


    Huo Yuhao looked at Xu Jiujiu and said, Arent you going back to think about this, princess? I wont escort you out, then.


    Xu Jiujiu stared deeply into his eyes. She grunted coldly and said, I havent seen Wei Na in a long time. Im going to apany her for a little while more. Her eyes gradually became are as she spoke. There was no question that Huo Yuhao had nned this seemingly coincidental encounter.


    Huo Yuhao naturally understood what she was trying to say. Heughed bitterly and said, Would you believe me if I said this was all a coincidence?


    What do you think? Xu Jiujiu raised her chin.


    Alright. Then think of it as if Ive nned it, then, Huo Yuhao said exasperatedly, My ce is a little small, everyone. Please have a seat however you like.


    Huo Yuhao was a little surprised as the person that spoke to him amongst the three of them wasnt Mu Xue or Mo Feiyun  it was Wei Na, the seemingly fragile and gentle girl.


    She stepped forward with a smile on her face and arrived before Huo Yuhao. Hello, Yuhao. Can we discuss this in private?


    Huo Yuhao sounded a little helpless. Look, the room is only so big. Im afraid that speaking in private will be quite difficult.


    Wei Na said, If you dont mind, I can push you into my room. Ill send you back once we finish our negotiations.


    No! Two different female voices could be heard eximing at the same time.


    Wang Donger wasnt one of them  the voices belonged to Mu Xue and Princess Jiujiu. Urgency and hastiness returned to Xu Jiujius eyes, while Mu Xues eyes flowed with vignce and wariness. Wang Donger was smiling to one side, and her smile was a little strange and sinister. However, nobody else but Huo Yuhao paid any attention to her.


    Huo Yuhao said exasperatedly, Please, everyone. Im just a cripple.


    Mu Xue grunted and said, It doesnt matter  I have to be present. Ill apany Wei Na for the negotiations, and then Ill send you back.


    Xu Jiujius face turned ck as she said, No way. Cant you see that were discussing official business? I should have priority since I came here first.


    Mu Xue nced at her and said, You must be the Star Luo Empires Princess Jiujiu. If Im not wrong, you were just about to leave when we arrived. This means that your negotiations are over, and its our turn now.


    The two girls stared into each others eyes, and intense sparks seemed to fly. Wei Na nced at Huo Yuhao rather apologetically, and then she turned towards Xu Jiujiu.


    Did Huo Yuhao deliberately n this meeting? Actually, he didnt. Huo Yuhao had guessed Mu Xues status, and he had tried to find out more about the Heavenly Soul Empire when he was still at the Tang Sect. The Heavenly Soul Empire also shared a border with the Sun Moon Empire, and their situation wasnt that much better than the Star Luo Empire, while their national strength was actually far inferior. It was likely that the Heavenly Soul Empire would be in much more danger.


    Huo Yuhao had been investigating further through Shrek Citys intelligence agency when he realized to his surprise that the gentle and beautiful girl, Wei Na, was the Heavenly Soul Empires princess. Even though her status still couldntpare to Xu Jiujius status in the Star Luo Empire, she was still a princess.
