51: Chapter 51: Not even one million at a time? No! I mean, we need more money!

The Su Family, the discussion hall.

The atmosphere was tense, like drawn bows.

Su Feng sat in the main seat.

Below him, Lin Qingxue, Yan Ling'er, Ying Yue'e, and Wu Qin were lined up in a row.

Like a wall of bronze and iron, they firmly blocked the woman in black and white Daoist robes at the door.

The Saintess of the Yin Yang Sect, Shen Luoyu.

"Saintess Shen, trespassing into a private residence is not the behavior of a righteous sect."

Ying Yue'e, with her bulging belly, said with a fake smile, "My husband has been overworked lately and is not seeing any guests."

"Overworked?"

Shen Luoyu sneered, her gaze passing over everyone to look directly at Su Feng.

"Overworked for Spirit Stones, I presume?"

"The Su Family's current situation is clear even without me saying it. Two children born with heavenly phenomena, plus the Family's expenses... how many more days can your Spirit Stone reserves last?"

This single sentence struck the Su Family's weak spot directly.

Lin Qingxue and Yan Ling'er's faces stiffened, and their Aura instantly weakened by thirty percent.

There was no helping it; poverty makes one lose confidence.

"So?" Su Feng put down the bill and asked indifferently.

"So, I'm here to talk business."

Shen Luoyu took a step forward and waved her delicate hand.

"Boom!"

A heavy Storage Pouch slammed onto the table, its mouth loosening to reveal several Spirit Stones emitting dense Spiritual Qi.

"There are one hundred million Spirit Stones here."

Shen Luoyu's tone was calm, yet it carried the domineering Aura unique to a wealthy woman:

"Su Feng, I know you need resources. And I need your Pure Yang Qi."

"Let's not beat around the bush."

She held up a slender finger:

"One million."

"Cultivate with me once, and I will pay you one million Spirit Stones. How about this deal?"

Silence.

A deathly silence.

The entire hall was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.

Even Ying Yue'e, who had seen much of the world, held her breath for a moment.

One million Spirit Stones?!

And for just one time?!

This wasn't a business deal; it was practically hitting someone with money!

Yan Ling'er was the first to react, tremblingly extending her small hands to count on her fingers.

"One million for once... then Master and I in one night... at least seven times... that's seven million..."

"Then how much is it for Master and me in total... a hundred times? Two hundred times? No..."

As she calculated, Yan Ling'er's small face suddenly fell, and she burst into tears, looking at Su Feng with a wronged expression:

"Waaah... Master... this problem is too hard, I can't do it!"

"And... if I had to pay according to this price, selling me and that big sucker Xue Li wouldn't even be enough! Do I owe you a lot of money? Waaah..."

Su Feng helplessly patted Yan Ling'er's small head, thinking that maybe this was the saying 'pregnancy makes you silly for three years' in action.

Beside them, Ying Yue'e's pretty face was also flushed, turning red and white in turns.

She was not only good at arithmetic but also had a good memory.

Last night... Su Feng had tossed and turned her for the whole night.

According to Shen Luoyu's quote, she had spent at least twelve million Spirit Stones last night!

"This... this is too expensive..."

Even the usually cold Lin Qingxue was somewhat shaken at this moment.

She looked at Su Feng with a complicated gaze.

Although she felt sour inside, still...

That's a whole ten million! It's enough to feed Su Hao for a long time!

For the sake of the child... at worst...

Just treat it as being bitten by a dog?

A little sacrifice isn't incomprehensible...

The most anxious one was Wu Qin.

She hadn't gotten pregnant yet!

The Great Zhou Old Ancestor had even sent a message yesterday scolding her for being useless, saying that if she didn't conceive a divine child soon, Great Zhou would be laughed to death by Great Qin.

If she let Su Feng go now, wouldn't she have even less of a chance?

"No way! I have to get my Father Emperor to send money too!"

Wu Qin gritted her teeth secretly, her hand already touching the communication Jade Slip: "Competing with financial resources, are we? My Great Zhou Imperial Family isn't short on money either! I'll also offer one million..."

Feeling the wronged, shy, and conflicted gazes of the four women.

Su Feng sat in the main seat, expressionless, even frowning slightly and shaking his head gently.

He looked as if he had suffered a great insult.

"Is the Head of the Su Family... refusing?"

Shen Luoyu was stunned, feeling a bit surprised.

One million per time—that was already an astronomical price!

Could it be... he truly views money as dirt?

Is he a true gentleman who cannot be corrupted by power or wealth?

Watching Su Feng's cold and disdainful appearance, a warm current of admiration surged in the hearts of the four women.

"Husband truly has backbone!"

"Waaah... Master actually gave up earning that million for me; he really loves me the most!"

Just when everyone thought Su Feng would refuse the deal for the sake of his dignity.

Su Feng slowly spoke.

He leaned forward, looking at Shen Luoyu, and said with a serious and earnest face:

"Saintess Shen, do you have some misunderstanding about my value?"

"You want me for just one million?"

"Do you think I'm some common cabbage on the roadside?"

Shen Luoyu: "???"

The four women: "???"

Su Feng extended five slender fingers and waved them in front of Shen Luoyu.

"What... does this mean?"

Shen Luoyu looked puzzled.

However, Su Feng's next words were like a heavy hammer, shattering everyone's worldview.

His tone was forceful and righteous:

"No!"

"I mean..."

"You have to add more money!"

"Anything less than five million per time is out of the question! And..." Su Feng said with a serious expression.

"I want to be on top!"

Shen Luoyu: "..."

Yan Ling'er: "..."

Ying Yue'e: "..."

The touch of emotion and admiration that had just risen shattered all over the floor instantly.

Lin Qingxue even covered her face, not wanting to look at this man who had fallen into a money trap.

So it wasn't that he wasn't selling... he just thought the price was too low!

What kind of cold male god is this?

He's clearly a 'Layman Add-More-Money'!

"Phew~~"

Shen Luoyu took a deep breath, her delicate red lips beneath the veil twitching slightly.

This Su Feng... is so shameless!

To actually raise the price to five million Spirit Stones per time?

Is he made of gold?!!

"Five million... is too much."

Shen Luoyu suppressed the anger in her heart, her eyes flickering as she suddenly threw out another bargaining chip:

"I'll use a piece of information to offset two million!"

"Oh?"

Su Feng was stunned. What information was so valuable that it was worth a two-million-stone discount?

"Tell me. If it's not worth it, then cash is still more practical."

Shen Luoyu snorted coldly, her tone becoming serious:

"You killed Yang Tian, and the Sect Master of the Blazing Moon Sect is very angry. But as a Half-step Spirit Transformation expert, and given that he's currently in the spotlight, he's afraid of being targeted by other forces if he acts personally, so he won't make a move himself for now."

"But!"

Shen Luoyu changed the subject, her gaze sweeping over the solemn-looking Ying Yue'e:

"When your second child was born, a heavenly phenomenon of 'Ten Thousand Demons Worshiping' appeared. Your potential has already caused him to put you at the top of his must-kill list."

"He doesn't dare to come openly, but he has already used hidden schemes."

"According to information obtained by my Yin Yang Sect, Great Qian and the Great Sui Dynasty have already prepared their armies and are advancing in two routes to attack Great Qin!"

"Attack Great Qin?"

Ying Yue'e frowned slightly but did not panic, instead showing the dominance of a Grand Princess.

"Just the two of them? Hmph, without external intervention, they can't even break through Hangu Pass! They can do nothing to my Great Qin Empire!"

"What if the Blazing Moon Sect is added to the mix?"

Shen Luoyu added indifferently.

"The Blazing Moon Sect won't directly send Disciples to participate in the war, but they will provide massive amounts of Magic Treasures, Medicinal Pills, and even... send secret guards to assassinate Great Qin's generals."

"Their goal is clear: to cut off the supplies!"

"The reason the Su Family could develop so rapidly, besides your personal combat strength, Su Feng, is that most of the resource channels come from Great Qin's support. Once Great Qin is dragged into the quagmire of war and is unable to look after itself, it will inevitably be unable to support the Su Family as it does now."

"At that time, the Su Family without resources will be like a tiger with its teeth pulled, only able to sit and consume their savings until they are worn down to death."

Her words were a wake-up call.

Su Feng's eyes narrowed.

This move was indeed insidious.

The people of the Blazing Moon Sect are not stupid. They know that attacking the Su Family directly is blocked by a Formation, so they'll attack the Su Family's source of support.

Once Great Qin falls or becomes preoccupied, the Su Family will immediately fall into a passive position.

"A good tactic," Su Feng sneered.

At the same time, he gained a new understanding of the Yin Yang Sect's strength.

To be able to obtain such confidential information, it seems what Shen Luoyu said is true; the Yin Yang Sect's strength might really be enough to hold up half the sky in the Southern Region.

This piece of information is indeed worth two million!

"Fine! Deal!"

Su Feng immediately made the decision without any hesitation:

"This information offsets two million. The remaining three million..."

He looked at Shen Luoyu.

"Pay now?"

Shen Luoyu threw over a heavy Storage Pouch.

"There are three million Spirit Stones inside! Take it!"

"Now..." Shen Luoyu took a deep breath.

"I need to inspect the goods as well."

"Follow me!"

Su Feng took the Spirit Stones and, in the principle of honesty first, directly grabbed Shen Luoyu's wrist and strode toward the backyard.

"Um... Husband."

Ying Yue'e looked at their departing backs, somewhat worried. "About Great Qin..."

"Don't worry."

Su Feng waved his hand without looking back.

"Wait for me to come back!!"
