After a moment, the first one opened his eyes, and there was an inexplicable sense of burning corrosion in his gaze when he looked at Luo Ling, which was a change from his previous indifference and laziness.
But soon, this oppressive feeling dissipated.
The first lady returned to her usual lazy and calm appearance. She looked at Luo Ling, chuckled and said, "Zizhu, you have kept your promise. Between us... it's all over."
What she meant was that Luo Ling had brought something that interested her this time, which offset the message she had given to Luo Ling when they had a private transaction.
But... the thing she was interested in was not the information about the road to godhood, because the first person had already paid for it, and she didn't have the hobby of giving tips casually.
As for what it was, the first person didn't say, and Luo Ling didn't know either.
However, it is a good thing that the debt owed to this guy can be written off. Luo Ling was originally thinking about whether to take out some more confidential information, but he didn't expect that it would not be used.
"Um."
Luo Ling nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Shou Yi and Luo Ling both knew the significance of this conversation, but to the ears of the other tea party members, it had a completely different meaning.
What is a promise
What does it mean to... write it off
Wait...what do these have to do with each other
Their eyes kept wandering between Luo Ling and the first person, and looking at the expressions on their faces, they became more and more suspicious.
Could it be that these two have been secretly carrying out some unspeakable transactions during these two months
How come the development of this relationship has heated up to the point where they can't understand it...
It seems that there are still many little secrets that only the two of them know.
"Her information is true," the first one said, "and... it's worth the money."
Six petals can provide so much information, and it’s not even just a sentence, but a complete memory.
Although Miss Zizhu had processed these memories in advance, eliminated some of them, and concealed some information, they were basically all related to her identity or abilities.
The most crucial part is intact without any deletion or modification.
If everything shown in these memories could be carefully analyzed, not to mention six petals, even sixteen would not be an exaggeration.
Of course, considering that Miss Zizhu was sold to multiple people at one time, a lower price is understandable.
Remind her next time.
Not only is it genuine, but it’s also a great value!
The tea party members almost stood up. Even though there was a mysterious atmosphere, they could see each other's shocked expressions.
This came from the mouth of the first person. Although she might have had an affair with Miss Zizhu and had secretly conducted some unknown transactions, when it came to the tea party transaction, the first person's words were absolutely credible.
She is the leader of the Witch Tea Party. If even she deceives in the transactions at the tea party, what is the need for the tea party to exist.
"I pay!"
Iris was the first to speak. She rushed to Luo Ling impatiently, but then revealed an embarrassed expression and said shyly,
"No, but... can I buy it on credit?"
Chapter 47: Miss Zizhu, I want to make a deal with you (9k)
If we were to say who is the most enthusiastic about the path to godhood at this witches' tea party, it would definitely be Miss Iris.
As the youngest member of the tea party besides Luo Ling, she still has a lot of room for growth and possesses a certain... confidence that can be called "motivation" or "ambition".
Ascend the path of God, master the power of God. Although I don't know why Miss Iris, who is obviously a person favored by God, is so persistent in such rebellious behavior, it is certain that...
For Luo Ling, it seems that he can sell it for a good price.
"Ms. Zizhu, can... can I buy on credit?"
Iris looked at Luo Ling embarrassedly and nervously, her fingers still pinching the corner of her clothes nervously, fearing that this fickle Chosen One of Naraku would refuse outright or make even more excessive demands.
Being able to receive such a positive evaluation from the first person, I am afraid that the information on the path to godhood in Miss Zizhu's hand must be worth far more than six petals. If I miss this opportunity...
I'm afraid I don't know when we will meet again.
Moreover, such precious opportunities are always fleeting. If you don’t grasp them in time, you will regret it when you lose them completely in the future.
It’s not that Iris didn’t know how to save petals before. On the contrary, she was probably the most diligent one among everyone at the tea party. It’s a pity that the Twilight Kingdom that she had intercepted before had consumed all of Iris’s accumulated petals.
And that’s not all.
In order to cultivate the Kingdom of God, Iris borrowed money from everywhere, begged for help from everyone, and incurred a huge debt, before she was able to cultivate the Kingdom of God to the point where it could finally function.
... Although the first business order she took was rarely accepted, it was taken away by Luo Ling.
It took Iris a long time to pay off the debts that had accumulated before. At least she didn't owe any petals. However, she used the little wealth she had saved up later to purchase the information about the first person's way to becoming a god during the last transaction.
Iris is now penniless. Even if she searches her body thoroughly, she only has one petal. She really cannot afford the high price of six petals.
The previous tea party members were all easy to talk to. They would just owe the money for the time being and at most ask for some interest. This was normal. After all, the tea party was just a loose organization that was maintained by the exchange of mutual interests.
It's just that Miss Zizhu...
This new member of the tea party, the Chosen One of Naraku, left a not-so-good impression on Iris last time, like a selfish and greedy glutton.
Therefore, Iris was really afraid that this elder sister would take this opportunity to ask for a huge sum of money and make a lot of money from her. Her current family assets could not withstand the continued exploitation of Miss Zizhu.
If I pull it out any more I will really go bald...
"Huh?" Hearing this, Luo Ling was stunned and said, "Iris, how long have you been a member of the tea party?"
"About... about twenty years, right? If you don't count the years in the Kingdom of God." Iris counted on her fingers and asked hesitantly, "But Zizhu, you ask this because..."
"In twenty years, you couldn't even save six petals?" Luo Ling added.
“… … .”
Iris fell silent instantly.
"Well, it's not that I haven't saved up," Iris gritted her teeth and said, "It's just that not long ago, when I was trying to seize the Kingdom of Twilight, I spent a full twenty petals, so now..."
"It's only twenty coins. Can't I earn it back quickly?"
Luo Ling asked curiously, "I have only been a member of the tea party for a month or two, and even if I earned today... it is already more than twenty coins, right?"
In fact, Luo Ling did not mean to offend Iris by saying this, but she really thought so. As for the specific value of the petals, Luo Ling only had a vague understanding.
As the saying goes, sincerity is the ultimate weapon.
The more sincere Luo Ling was, the more hurt Iris felt, as if several sharp swords pierced her heart.
“… … ..”
There was another long silence, but this time, besides Iris, there were several other tea party members present, and only the leader had a faint smile on his face.
It seems that Miss Zizhu really doesn't know how precious and rare the petals are.
No wonder they even offer discounts on bundled products. In fact, if the message she sent out was true as the first person said, they would be snapped up even at the original price... No, even if they added a little more, they might not hesitate.
However, since it would be a waste not to take advantage of such a good deal, everyone at the tea party tacitly agreed not to mention this point.
Six petals is not a small number. Even if the other few wanted to take them out at once, it would be difficult because they had to keep some petals on hand as a backup for emergencies, or to trade for other things.
Not to mention, the number of places on the Path to Godhood is likely to be quite limited. Iris is also their competitor in a sense. Why send supplies to her competitors for no reason
Therefore, Iris did not even mention to Tumi and others the information about borrowing flower petals and purchasing the Path to Godhood from Zizhu, because she knew that this was even more impossible.
The only hope left now is that Miss Zizhu can give her a break.
"Really?"
Luo Ling asked again.
"Really not."
Iris wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Well, if that's the case, I can buy it on credit. After all, I'm not a bad person."
Luo Ling nodded slightly and said, "Besides, Miss Iris, I did you a lot of favors last time, and I still remember that."
He gnawed all of the other party's saplings to pieces, thereby advancing to the first stage of the "Naraku" form, and the other party hasn't even come to pursue him (actually, they don't dare to).
Therefore, Luo Ling felt that Miss Iris was a very nice person, so it was just a matter of lending her some money on credit, and it was not something that required her to make things difficult for her.
"Really?"
Iris was a little stunned. Could the Chosen One of Naraku be so easy to talk to
Wait, this idea seems familiar...
But no matter what, this is a great thing. This way I can get information about the road to godhood, and at such a favorable price. I only need to owe half a debt!
"Of course it's true."
Luo Ling said, showing Iris a smile that she thought was quite kind, "After all, I also want to do some business with you later, so I can borrow some things from you."
"Okay... Wait, what do you want to borrow?"
Iris originally wanted to nod and agree, but when she thought of Miss Zizhu, she immediately became alert again. She had not forgotten Miss Zizhu's notorious identity.
Asking her to borrow something... Could it be her life
Or maybe...
Iris thought about what happened last time and suddenly realized something, her face turned pale.
She seemed to already know what Miss Zizhu wanted to borrow.
"Your Twilight Kingdom." Luo Ling said, "I am of some use."
Iris's Twilight Kingdom captured Victoria's five minutes before the 74th boundary collapse. This time the boundary collapse was caused by the "Company", and the direct cause was the impending "forbidden" disaster.
The artist used this disaster to achieve promotion, and although it was eventually interrupted by the "company", it must have left many traces, which are extremely valuable information.
Only with the help of this top-secret information can Luo Ling get the bargaining chip to usurp the religious leader's promotion this time.
"... ..."
Iris was silent for a while, and after struggling for a while, she revealed a half-crying, half-smiling expression.
"Sister Zizhu, the saplings haven't grown yet. If you like, I can personally send you some branches and leaves in ten years or so..."
At worst, she can just raise it again for a while.
Anyway, the old Bodhi tree can wait.
If she herself... is willing to grit her teeth, then she can, perhaps, wait a little longer... right
Just don't pull too hard, Miss Zizhu.
"I don't want a sapling," Luo Ling shook his head and said, "I just want to borrow your kingdom of God."
The sapling is of no use to her now. The more she advances in the "Naraku" form, the more power she needs to "devour" becomes greater and greater.
The first time he was promoted, he was basically a sapling. The second time he was promoted, he spent a lot of price. Even "devouring" a boundary was not enough. He relied on the spider leg relics left by scientists to barely cross this threshold.
The third promotion...
I'm afraid even if I eat all ten saplings, it won't be enough. I'd better leave some for Miss Iris. She's already very pitiful.
Thinking of this, even Luo Ling herself was a little moved. She is such a good person.
"Now even a small sapling can no longer satisfy her..."
Hearing this, Iris felt a chill run down her spine, especially when she saw Miss Zizhu's half-smile, half-controlling expression on her face...
Sure enough, she is no different from the other chosen ones of Naraku!
Could it be that she wants to take a bite of the Kingdom of God as well
"Iris, do you still want to buy information on credit?"
Luo Ling glanced at the other members of the tea party, who seemed to be getting impatient, and asked Iris.
The deal with Iris that she wanted to reach with the Kingdom of God could be discussed later, so as not to delay the other grandmothers' affairs. She had to sell all this information quickly, as she was waiting to buy other things afterwards.
"This is a threat, this is definitely a threat!"
