CHAPTER 202: Alliance (1)
"oh, it must be the fire dragon grass right?" she mused not totally surprised.
"so is it a deal?" huang xin asked excitedly.
"hmm, but I have additional conditions" she curled her lips sinisterly. She knows the value of fire dragon grass; it is use mainly for souls.
Huang xin shivered a she muttered in a small voice. "hehe… but aren't we friends?" she blinks her eyes adorably but yu yue wasn't move so she just cough to hide her embarrassment and bend to her favor.
Yu yue put her hands out, showing five fingers.
"you want five flame fireflies? that's easy, even if it's hundreds" huang xin agreed readily but yu yue shook her head.
"what? five hundred?" she frowned as her heart throb with foreboding.
"five queens!" yu yue said with an innocent smile.
huang xin's eyes twitch as she exclaimed. "cough! cough! that's robbery! even if it's us it's hard to provide five queens at once. Do you think It's so easy to cultivate flame fireflies?" she almost fell off her seat as she chokes at yu yue's demand.
"hmpp, how many queens do you have currently?" yu yue asked with a snort but she also knows she's gone overboard. she simply wants to teased her as payback but who would have thought huang xin's next word would stunned her.
"we only have one uncontracted queen and five hundred flame fireflies" she replied after drinking tea.
"w-what? that many?" yu yue was stunned as her expression froze but it quickly changes with a beaming one.
huang xin's lips twitch, she didn't know yu yue has such side to her… "hmmp, that's it. No more" she rolled her eyes.
"it's a deal then" yu yue laugh as she pours her another cup of tea with a beaming face.
after their tea party xing er left this time to bright moon palace to deliver another batch of ingredients from huang xin. Yu yue was a little guilty for troubling elder ye lianhua so much so she added loads of gifts for him.
…
huang xin shamelessly stayed the night, yu yue just let her be as she intends to clarify some matters with her regarding the current situation of the outer region.
"yu yue you called for me? did you miss me?" she asked with a beaming smile, yu yue rolled her eyes at her.
"shut up, act like a princess. You don't have a dignity at all" she schooled as she drank tea.
"were friends, besides this isn't the palace. It's the only place I could be myself without worrying about my identity" huang xin said sadly with melancholic eyes.
Yu yue paused as she put her tea down, she always thought this princess is always shameless. This is the first time she saw her looking like this.
"alright forget it, be yourself. By the way I have something important to ask" she resigned softly as huang xin sat down pouring a cup of tea for herself.
"It must be information's about the current situation of the outer region right?" she said calmly.
"hmm, there are some information not available to us currently. Besides, what's up with the sky empire. I found them really suspicious" yu yue said casually.
