In the room.
After hearing Qin Xiao's words, Liu Erlong's breathing suddenly halted.
She could feel an astounding will pressing down on her, making it somewhat difficult for her to breathe.
This made her realize that the person before her was not a student from the Blue Tyrant Academy, but a terrifying powerhouse at the Titled Douluo Level.
"Your Highness, Erlong means no disrespect."
Liu Erlong spoke with difficulty, "I, there is another matter, that I must convey."
Her voice had barely faded when she heard Qin Xiao's light hum.
The terrifying pressure also vanished in an instant.
"What else is there? That President Liu would personally come to convey it?"
Qin Xiao asked, somewhat curious.
"It's the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Qinghe, inviting you to meet at Yue Xuan today at noon."
As she spoke, Liu Erlong took out an invitation from the Spatial Soul Guidance Device with the back of her hand and handed it to Qin Xiao.
Xue Qinghe!
Qin Xiao could clearly see the three big characters written with a firm and forceful hand on the invitation.
Accepting the invitation, Qin Xiao smiled at Liu Erlong: "Thank you for the trouble."
However.
Liu Erlong still stood in place, seemingly not intending to leave.
"Might I ask if President Liu has something else to say?"
Qin Xiao asked in a low voice.
Liu Erlong, typically straightforward, now revealed an extremely rare hesitant expression on her face.
She kept twirling her hair, which hung before her chest, with her finger.
Her lips were also tightly pursed.
After a moment, she finally spoke, "Your Highness, I once heard from Flander that you possess a secret technique capable of stimulating the potential within one's body?"
"That's right." Qin Xiao nodded.
"I have a friend who has always been unable to break through the barrier of level 30 Soul Power. I wonder if there's any chance that such a method could fulfill his long-cherished wish?"
After speaking, Liu Erlong looked eagerly at Qin Xiao.
The friend in Liu Erlong's mouth, that should be the theoretically invincible Master, Yu Xiaogang, right?
Qin Xiao's thoughts shifted slightly and he guessed who Liu Erlong was referring to.
"Some things, not tried, I can't give a precise answer."
He said calmly.
"Then, if Your Highness were to take action, what kind of price would be required?"
Liu Erlong asked, staring tensely at Qin Xiao.
A price?
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao smiled.
He stood up and walked step by step towards Liu Erlong.
Meanwhile, Liu Erlong's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, and she instinctively stepped back.
Thud.
The room's table shook.
Liu Erlong then realized she had no more room to retreat.
Her hips were pressed against the table.
"This..."
Her heart became somewhat flustered.
But then, a large hand gently lifted her chin.
Qin Xiao's gaze met Liu Erlong's directly.
"If you want me to take action, you shouldn't ask what I want,"
"But rather, what you are willing to offer."
Qin Xiao and Liu Erlong were very close.
His breath was like a scorching airflow against Liu Erlong's face.
Qin Xiao could clearly see a flash of panic in Liu Erlong's eyes.
Soon, that was replaced by anger.
"Your Highness, please conduct yourself with dignity."
Liu Erlong said, turning her head to one side.
"Hahaha."
Qin Xiao laughed out loud.
It was undeniable, the accomplishment of managing to manipulate the fiery-tempered and uncompromising Liu Erlong to such an extent, Qin Xiao found it quite gratifying.
"President Liu, what I desire you cannot give. You'll have to see what else might move me."
Before long, Qin Xiao had already left the room.
But his words still echoed in Liu Erlong's ears.
Phew...
Liu Erlong let out a breath.
"Dealing with Qin Xiao for just a while feels more exhausting than fighting a great battle," she thought.
When she recalled Qin Xiao's words, her expression grew extremely complex.
"Xiaogang, what should I do to get him to help you?"
...
"Your Highness!"
Qin Xiao had just stepped out of the room when he heard someone calling from behind him.
Without turning around, he recognized the voice as Zhao Wuji's.
He stood still and waited for a moment.
Zhao Wuji came up to Qin Xiao's side.
What surprised Qin Xiao, however, was that Zhao Wuji's eyes were bloodshot, with a hint of tears welling up.
"What's the matter?"
Qin Xiao asked.
Thump!
To Qin Xiao's surprise, Zhao Wuji suddenly knelt down.
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Old Zhao? Did you take the wrong medicine when you left home today? Whatever it is, stand up and speak."
"No!"
"Your Highness, I must offer you another kowtow," Zhao Wuji said, and truly made a loud kowtow.
Qin Xiao was taken aback, "Is today a holiday? Should I give you a New Year's gift?"
Zhao Wuji: ~('ー'~).
"Your Highness, you misunderstand," Zhao Wuji lifted his head, and after making sure no one was around, he explained to Qin Xiao, "Your Highness, after hearing the news yesterday that the Clan of Strength was annihilated, I immediately rushed to the scene to investigate.
Once I saw the wounds on the old gorilla's body, I knew it was Your Highness who had acted."
"Perhaps it's trifling for you, no more challenging than crushing a fly. But to me, it is of great significance. You might not know, but in my dreams, I have longed to put an end to that overbearing and shameless old gorilla."
"With my own strength, I had no hope in this lifetime. The only way to get revenge was to outlive him, and unexpectedly, Your Highness, you took action and exterminated him. The joy in my heart can be summed up in one word, exhilarating!"
"Is that so?" Qin Xiao realized, recalling that Zhao Wuji had indeed been pursued by the Titan in the original story.
Surviving indeed meant he was lucky.
Knowing that a powerful enemy had been eliminated, it was normal for Zhao Wuji to be this excited.
