61: Cooperation reached

“Sign this, and our two families will officially establish a cooperative relationship!”

Su Xuan said indifferently.

Chu Lingxi took the white paper, which detailed the cooperation between Wanbao Xuan Merchant Guild and the Su Family.

This surprised Chu Lingxi. At first, she thought Su Xuan was just here to manipulate her, but she didn’t expect this guy to actually want to cooperate?

It’s just cooperation… wouldn’t it have been better to just tell her clearly earlier, instead of forcefully…

“I didn’t expect you, of all people, to actually be here for cooperation…”

Chu Lingxi said with icy eyes.

Although she had just experienced some unpleasant things, Chu Lingxi’s business acumen was still online. She quickly reviewed the content.

Chu Lingxi was surprised to find that most of the content was very beneficial to the Chu Family. If this contract was signed, the Chu Family’s power would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced!

To be honest, Chu Lingxi was still a little tempted.

Then, she re-read it, and only after confirming that Su Xuan hadn't mixed in any fine print did Chu Lingxi completely relax.

“Since you’re here to cooperate! Then why didn’t you just make it clear, why did you just…”

Chu Lingxi said, her body trembling slightly.

“I told you, but you didn’t listen, did you? I had no choice but to use some special methods!”

Su Xuan answered calmly.

Alright, alright, in the end, it was her own fault! Chu Lingxi couldn't argue with Su Xuan and just glared at him.

“I admit that my actions just now did have some negative impact on you, and I will take responsibility for you!”

Su Xuan patted his chest and promised.

“Who wants you to take responsibility? Your actions are illegal! Illegal, do you understand?!”

Chu Lingxi said angrily.

“Then report it to the authorities!”

Su Xuan laughed.

“You…”

Chu Lingxi was speechless. She almost forgot the identity of the person before her—he was the only King of a different surname in Qi Country!

Report him to the authorities? He was the highest authority!

Unless the Old Emperor returned to his Peak, otherwise, who in the entire Qi Country would dare to do anything to Su Xuan?

“Alright, Chu Miss, you don’t have to be so angry. You’re not young anymore, wouldn’t it be a good thing to find someone to marry sooner?”

“Besides, what’s wrong with Su? My status and background far surpass yours. If anything, you’re the one marrying up!”

Su Xuan said shamelessly.

Chu Lingxi didn't expect this person to be so brazen, to say such things.

However, Su Xuan was indeed right. With his current status and background, she was indeed marrying up.

“Are you confident about this struggle for the throne… Chu Country, Lu Country, and Yan Country have all gotten involved…”

Chu Lingxi began.

The strength of Chu, Yan, and Lu was originally on par with Qi Country. Now that the Old Emperor was about to die, they naturally wanted to carve up a share of Qi Country.

Although the Su Family was strong, it was impossible for them to simultaneously contend against three countries with Venerable-level forces!

“Of course I’m confident! Chu, Yan, and Lu are nothing! Even if ten of them came down, I wouldn’t be afraid!”

Su Xuan said confidently.

Chu Lingxi looked at Su Xuan suspiciously. She seriously doubted whether Su Xuan had gotten carried away after being sealed as King and had forgotten his own limits!

At this point, her cooperation with Su Xuan was a foregone conclusion. Even if she didn't agree, Su Xuan would force her to sign the contract.

Contracts are bound by rules, formulated by Saint King-level powerhouses.

They incorporate something similar to a Heavenly Dao Oath; once one party violates it, they will be punished!

Minor violations result in lifelong paralysis, while severe ones lead to complete annihilation, like Lin Fan whose ashes were scattered!

This item, in Tianxuan Continent, was sold at a very high price; forces like the Su Family could barely afford it.

At the same time, she also became worried. She was cooperating with Su Xuan, but was he really reliable?

“Do you not believe in my ability?”

Su Xuan smiled.

“Yes! I really want to know what confidence you have to say such things!”

Chu Lingxi nodded.

Subsequently, to Chu Lingxi’s astonished gaze, Su Xuan displayed his King Sealing Realm Peak strength.

“This… this is King Sealing Realm Peak? How is that possible! How could you have such strength!”

Chu Lingxi was incredulous.

When did Su Xuan become so strong? In her impression, although Su Xuan was a Genius in Qi Country, his strength wasn't particularly formidable.

He was even inferior to her.

“If I didn’t have some strength, do you think you wouldn’t be able to last a single move against me?”

Su Xuan said indifferently.

Hearing Su Xuan's words, Chu Lingxi seemed to recall some unpleasant memories.

Indeed, she had been instantly defeated by Su Xuan in every aspect.

“When did you become so strong?”

Women are creatures who admire strength. After discovering Su Xuan's Heaven-Defying strength, Chu Lingxi's attitude towards Su Xuan clearly changed.

[Ding! Chu Lingxi’s favorability has increased by 10 points!]

Su Xuan was not surprised by this. Chu Lingxi had paid attention to Ning Village back then because Ning Village had shown extraordinary potential.

Now, his own potential was far above Ning Village’s, so Chu Lingxi’s change in attitude towards him was normal.

“You don’t need to worry about that. You’ll know when the time comes! Anyway, the power behind me is very strong!”

Su Xuan said confidently.

Chu Lingxi nodded obediently, then voluntarily signed her name on the contract and dripped a drop of her blood onto it.

Seeing this, Su Xuan signed his name and also dripped a drop of blood.

As the contract was signed, in the unseen, both Su Xuan and Chu Lingxi felt a kind of shackles binding them.

Once the shackles were broken, they would suffer very severe consequences.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully changing the plot, rewarding 50,000 Villain Points! Ning Village’s Luck Value has decreased by 5,000!]

“What a huge harvest!”

Listening to the System prompt in his mind, Su Xuan immediately felt delighted.

Having lost Chu Lingxi’s significant early assistance, Su Xuan wondered how Ning Village would develop now.

After all, Chu Lingxi was Ning Village’s major financial backer! The reason Ning Village’s strength increased so quickly in the early stages was because Chu Lingxi had continuously sold many good things to Ning Village at low prices through the Wanbao Xuan Merchant Guild.

In fact, some things, Chu Lingxi simply gave away for free, allowing Ning Village to gain a lot without paying.

“Since the contract has been signed, we are now on the same side. I wish us both a pleasant cooperation!”

Su Xuan said.

“Happy cooperation!”

Chu Lingxi twirled a strand of her hair, and there was a hint of ambiguity in her gaze towards Su Xuan.

Given the situation, if Su Xuan didn’t make a move, he wouldn’t be a true man.
