Chapter 2432 - 36: Shouzhe and the Five Poison Saintess

"The construction period for a giant Cloud Whale Boat is at least a century; I’m just worried about delaying your business, esteemed brother," said Saint Qingyuan with a smile. "It’s not too much trouble. The Sky-blessed Imperial Family’s boat isn’t urgently needed. Besides, I can arrange for a batch of small to medium-sized whale boats to help you out."

Giant Cloud Whale Boats are limited and hard to allocate, but there are no such concerns with the small to medium ones. There’s some stock on hand, and by gathering some from the transport fleet, we can gather a dozen or so.

It’s obvious that Saint Qingyuan wants to befriend Wang Shouzhe. It’s not just about the face of Junior Sister Lici; it’s more about appreciating Wang Shouzhe himself.

In the adult world, face is important, but interests matter even more.

He knows that by befriending Brother Shouzhe like this, Brother Shouzhe will surely not disappoint his goodwill.

With the conversation reaching this point, Wang Shouzhe naturally accepted the favor: "In that case, I’ll trouble Brother Qingyuan."

The Cloud Whale Boat is crucial for the Wang family’s current trade. The increase in grain production in the Divine Martial World is just beginning, far from saturation, and trade with the Sacred Domain will continue to grow.

Besides the local Divine Martial World, the Demonic Realm is even more extensive, and the Demon Subduing Prefecture is a good starting point and example.

Because of this, the current competition with the Demonic Realm is not just limited to anti-invasion but has gradually evolved into a competition for profits and resources.

In the future, with the development of the Demonic Realm, the grain production in the Divine Martial World may witness another surge.

As a transport tool, the more Cloud Whale Boats, the better.

After reaching an agreement, the relationship between both parties improved significantly.

As they chatted and laughed, a message arrived from the East Pole Gate guard of the Cloud Sea Heavenly Abode, saying that Saintess Water Moon had come looking for the Saint.

"Water Moon is here?" Saint Qingyuan’s expression changed immediately, stood up, and responded, "Send a message saying I’m not here and ask her to come another day..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, the East Pole Gate guard reported again, saying that Saintess Water Moon had already broken through the East Pole Gate and was heading straight to the Xuan Qing Immortal Pavilion.

"How bold, to dare force her way into my Cloud Sea Heavenly Abode!" Saint Qingyuan slammed the table angrily, his brow furrowed tightly.

"..."

Wang Shouzhe looked at Saint Qingyuan’s face, his eyes slightly surprised.

What a reckless Saintess Water Moon?

However, Saint Qingyuan’s reaction was a bit odd, with traces of evasion mixed in with his anger. Could it be that he owed Saintess Water Moon a large sum of money?

While he was pondering, the space above the Xuan Qing Immortal Pavilion suddenly twisted and rippled.

Shortly after,

a wild and unrestrained beauty stepped out of the spatial tear.

Above the Sea of Clouds, she wore a red battle dress, with a fiery red cape billowing behind her. Her aura was like a Fentian fire, truly overwhelming and mighty.

As soon as she appeared, her voice boomed like thunder over the Xuan Qing Immortal Pavilion: "Qingyuan, we didn’t settle our score at the Grand Law Gathering last time. This time, I’ve made some progress in my cultivation. Come, let’s fight again—I swear I’ll make you cry for your daddy."

"Water Moon, how is your brain wired?" Saint Qingyuan roared in anger, "It’s barely been any time since last time, and you’ve improved? Who are you trying to fool!?"

Usually, Saint Qingyuan is genteel and graceful, but he always loses his temper when he meets the troublesome Saintess Water Moon.

"Don’t believe me? Test it if you don’t believe!" Saintess Water Moon looked down at Saint Qingyuan provocatively, raising her chin in a challenging way.

"I don’t have time to entangle with you," Saint Qingyuan suppressed his anger, "I’m hosting an Honorable Guest; you should go back where you came from."

"Fine, if you don’t want to fight, you can lend me twenty Immortal Spirits, and I’ll leave immediately," Saintess Water Moon revealed her true intention.

"Twenty Immortal Spirits? Haha, can you afford to pay back?" Saint Qingyuan sneered, "Don’t even think about using your half-step Sacred Artifact as collateral; that’s an asset of Water Moon’s Heavenly Abode, and I can’t afford it."

"Alright, alright," Saintess Water Moon appeared defeated, "I’ll be honest with you. According to reliable information, a batch of Spirit Stone Raw Ore from the North Pole God Continent has entered the branch of the Divine Treasure Hall of the Tianxing Sacred Dynasty, and I’ve been given priority to select! This kind of deal is a sure win. How about this, lend me the money, and I’ll pay you back with an additional thirty percent."

"Why are you so sure of winning?" Saint Qingyuan’s face twitched, "Do you even know how much you’ve lost over the years?"

"With Lici, of course~" Saintess Water Moon snickered, "As long as I take Lici with me, I’ll make a huge profit this time."

Saint Qingyuan finally understood the sneaky plan of Saintess Water Moon, this "five-poisoned Saintess" who craves money, sex, alcohol, food, and wealth.

After realizing, he calmly crossed his hands behind his back and refused with a cold snort: "To say nothing of the fact that my Junior Sister Lici has gone to the Primordial Taoist Palace with Master, even if she hadn’t left, I would still steadfastly refuse."

"Lici isn’t here?" Saintess Water Moon’s face turned black, "Then what am I wasting time arguing with you for?"

Just as she intended to leave, she inadvertently caught sight of Wang Shouzhe, watching curiously from the side.

Her figure halted, and she turned to audaciously size up Wang Shouzhe, muttering aloud: "What a handsome young man, with a not-so-high cultivation base yet an aura as deep as a mountain or an ocean. Most likely, his Bloodline level is extremely high, and he has mastered profound Heavenly Dao Laws. This outfit, tsk tsk, isn’t it made from the famous Ice Blue Immortal Satin? Uh... and he even has an Immortal Artifact-level Storage Ring..."
