"You can start... negotiations are not my cup of tea, so present your offer, though bear in mind that your life is still in my hands and thus even your fate..."
Yakou stated straightforwardly because he wasn't very good at negotiating with people, not to mention someone as experienced as Qianye Ying'er, he knew that she would be able to see through him within several minutes.
Thus, he decided to do something unusual, which was to be as frank as possible with her, and judging her expression, he saw that his strategy was indeed working very well. She was completely caught off guard and didn't even know how to react to this.
His straightforwardness was something that was going totally against any negotiation strategy. Qianye Ying'er was a master manipulator and schemer, but when being confronted so straightforwardly, she was out of her line.
"If this is how you want to play, then so be it..."
Yet, as expected, someone like her wasn't going down with a single move, and within several moments, she adjusted to the new situation as Samiel grinned at this. He liked this sort of confidence, this ambition and power; for most of the Ōtsutsuki Clansmen, it was very attractive.
"I can give you information that is usually available only to the God-Emperors of the Royal Star Realm, aside from what you have already stated, Your Highness, about my intellect, scheming and other capabilities that you had in high regard."
Qianye Ying'er basically started selling "herself" though not in any kind of sexual way, as she observed every change in Yakou's expression. From what she saw till now, she was rather satisfied as she continued adding more and more benefits of keeping her or even keeping her alive.
Right now, she was aware that her situation wasn't really good and while she was confident that Ōtsutsuki Yakou would kill her if she proved to be hostile, fortunately, she was behind this line already.
If not, then he would have killed her long ago, but it seemed that he wanted her for whatever reason and now, she knew why he was keeping her alive. Another thing was that, she was basically wanted fugitive to the Brahma Monarch God Realm, even though she was officially declared dead.
And while her beauty captivated the minds of many powerful cultivators across the Realm of Gods, she doubted that they would go against the Brahma Monarch God Realm just for her beauty.
Brahma Monarch God Realm was the second strongest Royal Star Realm right after the Dragon God Realm for a reason.
And it was a very good reason.
"If I should guess, you want someone with my capabilities in the arts of scheming and manipulation, right?... I know that aside from these things, I have little to offer and I would rather kill myself than offer my body."
Her pride would never allow her to become some sort of sex slave, even if it was to save her life, and this was something that Yakou appreciated... she had pride, something that he appreciated and praised.
"I am not even asking for that... you know, if you tread this path, you will become the enemy of the entire Primal Chaos Dimension; everyone will hate you and will do anything to kill you."
Ōtsutsuki Yakou stated with all seriousness as she closed her eyes and thought over the situation for a bit, but in the end, there was nothing to think about.
Taking in the Qianye Ying'er brought a certain degree of dangers to his plans if someone discovered it.
But as long as nobody was aware of her true identity, then he thought it should be okey...
"I agree to your proposal..."
With a wave of his hands, Yakou used Transfer Shinjutsu as he transmitted a large amount of information into her mind. Most of them were common knowledge about the Starveil Origin World, Ōtsutsuki Clan and other things.
For example, one of the more notable pieces of information that Yakou transmitted into her mind was information about the strategies and other things implemented during the conquest of different Origin Worlds.
"Can I get the Chakra Fruit?"
She immediately asked when she got the information about the existence of such wondrous treasure, but Yakou on, contrary to what some may thought, just chuckled at her behavior.
"Here is the thing... for some time, I have been pondering about your situation, and I believe that I may have found a perfect path for you."
Ōtsutsuki Yakou then described the path of power for Qianye Ying'er, as he planned for her to transition to Evolutionary Cultivation and use the God Tree to harvest all powers of the Brahma Gods.
With that, she should be able to reach the Holy Lord Realm without much trouble, perfect her foundation and with some help, reach the Empyrean Realm; tier 5 wasn't out of the question in a few centuries or maybe millennia.
"I must wholeheartedly thank you for your help in this matter..."
The former Crown Princess of the Brahma Monarch God Realm muttered silently, as Yakou just nodded because it was to be expected. He had to admit that Qianye Ying'er was a rare talent, a very rare talent indeed.
But her mind was ever rarer and for that, she was quite a catch to be his subordinate, even though he was subtly using her emotions against her to the point where even she didn't probably realize it.
"The truth is... the reason why I am in the God Realm of Absolute Beginning is the mythical treasure somewhere in here..."
After several moments of silence, she decided to pay him for his kindness or investment... that depended on the point of view... with something of equal value, probably at least she hoped.
"What treasure? Some Inheritance?"
Yakou's eyes almost sparked when he heard the word "treasure", because he was a bit money-grubber and a little bit greedy.
"According to the legends, somewhere in the God Realm of Absolute Beginning, there is part of Inheritance belonging to the Ancestral Goddess from the age where the Primal Chaos Dimension was just created."
She explained as Yakou's excitement was shooting through the roof as he stopped roasting the meat of the Divine Master Realm Primordial Beast and started cutting it for himself and Qianye Ying'er.
"Hmm... that should be Inheritance of Tier 5 Entitiy and maybe even at the level of Chaotic Origin if we are lucky..."
When Ōtsutsuki Yakou said the words Chaotic Origin, Qianye Ying'er shuddered because she knew the gravity of those words from the information that Yakou transferred to her.
