90: A little unexpected bonus!

If he didn't honor the bet just now...

Then in front of so many Prodigies, it would be equivalent to losing his credibility before the whole world.

When that time comes...

Not only would these Junior Brothers from the Tianqi Sect not follow him...

But the people of the world would no longer recognize him.

The loss would outweigh the gain!

But if he agreed...

Then he would lose face completely.

Although he would have upheld his integrity, he would become everyone's laughingstock.

At this moment, what should be done!

Just then, Li Yu coughed.

"Fellow Daoist, how about we both take a step back?"

"How so?"

Chen Xian asked with great interest.

"As per the bet, everything on Wang Li's person will be handed over to you. Additionally..."

"As compensation, I, in the name of a princess of the Da Gan Dynasty's Imperial Family, will give you five million Spirit Stones!"

"Consider it a replacement for his kowtowing agreement, how about it?"

Five million Spirit Stones!

Everyone present gasped upon hearing this.

Someone couldn't help but whisper, "As expected of the Da Gan Dynasty Imperial Family, they are truly wealthy and powerful!"

"I remember Princess Li Yu has always been indifferent to Wang Li's advances. Why is she pleading for him now?"

"Sigh, this is the art of controlling people!"

Chen Xian was also impressed by Li Yu's tactic at this moment.

He thought he was the smartest one among them, but in the end, he was still being utilized by Li Yu!

This way...

Not only would Wang Li be deeply grateful to Li Yu...

But even when the Tianqi Sect learns of this, they would feel some gratitude toward the Imperial Family.

It truly killed two birds with one stone.

Since Li Yu had spoken, Chen Xian naturally didn't make things difficult on purpose.

Although he could take this Opportunity to commit extortion...

Without a guarantee of safety, it wouldn't work in the end.

Thinking of this, Chen Xian said with a smile, "Besides these, I have one more condition!"

"Please, speak!"

"The Prodigies present today, although they've paid me Spirit Stones, they all hate me to the bone. I want you to guarantee my safety within the Secret Realm!"

"If anyone attacks me, it's the same as attacking the Da Gan Dynasty Imperial Family."

Chen Xian's condition caused the expressions of everyone present to change.

Especially those on the opposite bank who had already paid.

They were thinking of seizing the Opportunity and treasures within the Secret Realm, then turning back to launch a surprise attack on Chen Xian.

They wanted to make him spit out every single cent of the Spirit Stones he took from them!

If Chen Xian wanted Li Yu to protect him...

Then their money would truly be gone for good.

Hearing this, Li Yu only hesitated for a few seconds.

She immediately spoke up: "No problem. To everyone present, if anyone attacks this Fellow Daoist in the Secret Realm, it will be an attack on me and the Tianqi Sect!"

"If you aren't afraid of death, you can try!"

Although Li Yu spoke calmly...

Everyone felt a shiver run down their spines.

They had almost all heard of the prestige and reputation of this Imperial Princess.

They didn't think Li Yu was being alarmist.

A short while later!

Chen Xian obtained everything on Wang Li's person.

He then sent those people to the opposite bank.

On this side of the shore, only Li Yu, Zi Yun, and their groups remained!

"Everyone, you can come up and cross together!"

"Aren't you going to collect Spirit Stones from us?"

A female Disciple from the Yaochi Immortal Palace asked curiously.

Chen Xian said with a smile, "Someone from the Yaochi Immortal Palace is an old acquaintance of mine! Being the number one Sect of the Southern Continent, I will naturally ferry you Fairies to the other side for free."

"If I were to charge Spirit Stones, that would be a bit insensitive!"

"As for Your Highness the Princess, you're protecting my life! Naturally, I won't take a single cent from you!"

Li Yu gave a cold snort.

This guy had taken millions of Spirit Stones from her.

Yet he was still acting like he was doing her a favor!

He actually had a bit of that person's style!

The group boarded the boat to cross the river.

When everyone was disembarking at the shore, Li Yu suddenly grabbed Chen Xian's wrist.

"What are you doing?"

"Didn't you say you wanted me to protect your safety?"

"Only when you are by my side can I protect you."

After she said that, she lowered her head and whispered in Chen Xian's ear, "Don't you agree, Chen Xian?"

Chen Xian's puzzled expression turned into shock.

He was exposed?

His disguise technique was supposed to be undetectable!

Especially since he and Li Yu had been quite far apart.

How did she find out?

He instinctively wanted to touch his face, but Li Yu grabbed his hand.

"Don't move around; doing that will only expose your guilty conscience even more!"

Li Yu said with a half-smile, "Come with me. Otherwise, the whole world will know that the person who extorted them is Chen Xian, the son of the Marquis of Jubei!"

Hearing this, Chen Xian gnashed his teeth.

This little woman was actually using this to threaten him.

And unfortunately, he was indeed being held in check by Li Yu right now.

If those Prodigies knew his true identity...

They would definitely tear him apart!

Thinking of this, Chen Xian had no choice but to follow Li Yu off the boat.

"Don't worry, I will guarantee your safety!"

Just from the expression on his face earlier, Li Yu knew she had guessed correctly.

This man was Chen Xian!

The boldness of his actions and the meticulousness of his mind...

Made Li Yu think that only Chen Xian could be like this.

And at this moment, the Moon Demon, seeing this scene through the heaven concealing mirror, was already laughing heartily.

"Finally, someone can keep you in check, kid! Hahahaha, how satisfying, how satisfying!"

Otherwise...

Chen Xian would have been far too smug in this Lake Bottom Secret Realm.

After the Prodigies reached the opposite bank, they had already formed pairs and headed toward the depths of the Secret Realm.

They were terrified of falling behind others.

Therefore, by the time Li Yu and the others on the last boat docked and disembarked...

Only Li Yu's imperial group and Zi Yun's group remained.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Chen Xian yawned and relaxed quite a bit.

"It seems the Cultivators of the North and Southern Continents don't have much respect for your Imperial Family or the head of the Sects!"

"They all left in the blink of an eye."

Li Yu said with a smile, "Although our status is noble and can provide them protection, it also restricts them. When they encounter treasures, they naturally want to keep them for themselves rather than hand them over to us."

"So, naturally, they run faster than anyone else!"

Chen Xian shrugged.

At this moment, he glanced at Zi Yun.

Although he really wanted to go up and say hello...

But with others around, regarding his identity, the fewer people who knew, the better.

"In that case, let's go too!"

Li Yu waved her hand.

Several personal guards behind her cleared the way in front.

The Yaochi Immortal Palace Disciples behind Zi Yun consciously brought up the rear.

One in front and one behind, they firmly shielded Li Yu and Zi Yun in the middle.

If there were any signs of trouble...

It would surely be noticed by everyone.

Of course, Chen Xian also benefited from being in the middle.

His safety could indeed be guaranteed.

Li Yu looked at Chen Xian.

"What harvests have you had in the Lake Bottom Secret Realm, Fellow Daoist?"

Chen Xian said with an awkward smile, "No harvest at all, I've just been hanging around until now."

However, at this moment...

Zi Yun said indifferently, "Having taken over ten million Spirit Stones, if you say you've had no harvest, then I'm afraid everyone would say they've had no harvest from today's trip to the Lake Bottom Secret Realm!"

Hearing this, Chen Xian scratched his head.

Ten million Spirit Stones was just an unexpected harvest for him!
