Chapter 167: Negotiate

The Northern Region Lord looked at Qiu Bai and his eyes were filled with love that accumulated for 10,000 years.

At that time, Ling Ren was pure and adorable.

But now, Ling Ren had lost that purity. She was like a flower that had been through too much and had become much older. Although she was still so beautiful, she was no longer fresh and new.

It was like a new, small path that was covered in dew every night and morning.

That small path had now been trampled by people and carriages.

The Northern Region Lord just acted like he didn’t know about it. After he was rejected, he stopped looking for Ling Ren. That was enough to prove that he understood that Ling Ren had already died.

But now, everything came back.

This was why the Northern Region Lord just looked at her without blinking. Many thoughts filled his head but his decent education stopped him from getting close.

It was actually much better to look at her from dozens of meters away!

After all, it had been 10,000 years!

“I will wait here for you. I just hope that after you enter you will choose to give up on the contract and that you won’t agree to honor it.” Qiu Bai sucked in a deep breath and said sincerely.

“Why?” The Northern Region Lord questioned.

“If it is inconvenient, then you don’t have to say why. I am just curious.” The Northern Region Lord added.

“There is nothing inconvenient about it. If you complete it, then we have to return you 100 beauties. The Bank of the Universe doesn’t have so many.” Qiu Bai said truthfully.

The Northern Region Lord laughed, “I was wondering what the matter was. So, I just enter now?”

He said he was going to but his legs didn’t move. He continued to look closely at Qiu Bai like he just wanted to imprint her looks right in his eyes.

“Just go in. After you come out, I will tell you everything.” Qiu Bai said.

Just thinking about how he could spend some alone time with Qiu Bai, the Northern Region Lord walked quickly. “I will enter now, just wait a while for me.”

The Northern Region Lord, who was over 10,000 years old, was now like a small boy in his teens hurriedly entering the Trading Hall.

Within the trading hall, Li Xiandao was sitting quietly with his legs crossed. His golden mask and crossed arms gave off a really cold aura.

He was thinking about something.

Once he got Slaying the Heavens, it was time for him to cultivate properly as he was just too weak now.

He could sweep everyone in Dali Land and Ancient Desolate Land but in Eternal Land, he couldn’t even defeat a single one of them.

He didn’t even have to mention those under him. All of them were filled with boundless potential but were all really weak.

They were all crazily absorbing the spiritual energy of Eternal Land to strengthen themselves.

Their cultivation increased daily. Once it was time for them to come out of seclusion, they would be able to give Li Xiandao a surprise.

Amongst his mixed thoughts, Li Xiandao saw the Northern Region Lord walk in. He arrived in front of his table really quickly and when he saw Li Xiandao, he said in confusion, “You didn’t wear a mask before.”

Li Xiandao said calmly, “The Bank of the Universe has a new owner.”

Only then did Northern Region Lord understand what had happened.

“This is your contract, sign it. The moment you sign it and hand over the technique, I will return you 100 beauties.” When Li Xiandao talked about the 100 beauties, he emphasized it. It was obvious that he wanted the Northern Region Lord to hear it.

Northern Region Lord smiled and looked at the contract. He then tore it up in front of Li Xiandao.

The contract was split into half. Northern Region Lord took a technique and said solemnly, “This is Slaying the Heavens and I will return it to you. I’m tearing the contract and I hereby state that we didn’t complete it.”

Li Xiandao nodded his head, “Great!”

“Can I head out now?” The Northern Region Lord missed Qiu Bai and asked eagerly.

“Go ahead!” Li Xiandao waved his hands without much care.

Northern Region Lord didn’t hesitate at all and left right away.

He didn’t even bother to look when he tossed Slaying the Heavens.

Li Xiandao silently looked at Slaying the Heavens in front of him.

He reached out and grabbed it.

It was good as new. The black book cover was slowly opened.

Keng!!!!

A giant blade slashed out from within the book like it was slicing apart a world. It broke through the restrictions of the world and arrived in front of Li Xiandao.

That strike caused Li Xiandao’s body to shake. He placed down Slaying the Heavens and looked at it solemnly.

“So strong.” Li Xiandao muttered.

“This is suitable for me.” Legacy Hall grabbed Slaying the Heavens and stepped out, heading towards the Legacy Hall.

Legacy Hall was at the foot of the mountain. Legacy Hall passed through the hanging paper cranes and walked to War God Zhao Wuji’s tomb.

Zhao Wuji was about to come out but Li Xiandao shook his head, “I have totally understood your Dao, so I have no need for you.”

War God Zhao Wuji was baffled and stared at Li Xiandao speechless.

Li Xiandao didn’t even stop in front of Sword God’s tomb and continued to walk past.

Sword God’s remnant slowly looked at Li Xiandao and many question marks appeared in his mind.

Was he being abandoned after he had been used?

Li Xiandao walked to the front of the third tomb and started his comprehension journey.

….

Outside the Bank of the Universe, Northern Region Lord’s mountain villa.

Everyone near the building at the peak was chased away. No one was to be within 10 miles of the building or they would be killed on the spot.

The Northern Region Lord personally cooked for Qiu Bai.

Although Qiu Bai told him not to bother, the Northern Region Lord said, “I know that you aren’t actually her, that you aren’t Qiu Bai. But since you have all her memories, then you should know that 10,000 years ago when I was locked up, I promised that I would cook something nice for her.”

“Unfortunately, this meal is 10,000 years late!” The Northern Region Lord said and couldn’t help but feel sad about it.

Qiu Bai sighed helplessly, “There are many things that we can’t control in life. When what you think and do are different, many random thoughts will appear.”

“It has already become a stubborn thought.” Qiu Bai said.

“Stubborn?” The Northern Region Lord shook his head and smiled, “I know the difference between stubbornness and love.”

“I have been here for 7,000 years, what for?”

“That is because this is my world, I can think about Ling Ren without any worry and disruption.” Northern Region Lord said.

“What about your wife?” Qiu Bai asked.

“My wife?” Northern Region Lord thought about it. He had to think carefully in order to remember what she even looked like.

“She should be enjoying the power of the Northern Region Lord. The north is under her control and the last time we met was just a hurried glance three years ago.” Northern Region Lord said calmly.

“You are so cold to one another and have no feelings for one another. What about kids?” Qiu Bai asked.

She knew that when the Northern Region Lord and Ling Ren were together, he didn’t have any kids. But what happened afterward?

The Northern Region Lord smiled. “I don’t have children!”

In 10,000, the Northern Region Lord hadn’t even touched his wife.

He would rather be a monk than have skinship with his wife.

“Why?” Qiu Bai didn’t understand.

“When you are forced by a girl’s father to marry her, you will know.” The Northern Region Lord gave a bitter smile.
