"You have 10 wives, at your age?" Yu Xiang Die asked, butting in as she couldn't hold back her shock.
"Yes, each of them are beautiful and hold favor in my heart. Some have been by my side for quite some time now. While some are more recent. It is my good fortune they all get along together. But, if you were to ask if I could love another, the answer would indeed be yes. However, before I can start to build such a connection, I need a reason to do so. Which is why I am not outright rejecting the proposal. Now, please, Senior, speak." I explained, with a cold look. I was quite upset that more time was wasted just now.
"Son, let me handle this matter. I'll make sure I get another daughter in law." Su Yan conveyed to me directly through our connection.
"I see, so long as the reason is good enough you'll accept." Hong Xiang Ling said, thoughtfully.
"Indeed, however, it's probably for the best if my mother here, were to be the one you make the deal with. I will of course honor it. You should be grateful my mother is here to do this for you. As I am not in the mood to be striking deals. So I'd appreciate it if this could be wrapped up quickly." I explained. "But, You should discuss this matter another time. I'll offer a varying range of these pills for your purchase. And I'll even allow you to make formal requests for the high rank pills. However, a High Rank Pill is personally refined by myself. And you should all understand, my ascension to the Open Heaven Realm is of the utmost importance." I further elaborated, trying to get them to clear this matter quickly.
"I see… Lady Su Yan, I hope to have a fruitful conversation with you." Hong Xiang Ling said, a little stunned but thankfully not surprised.
"No matter, my sisters will be there as well. We quite look forward to the opportunity of gaining another daughter." Su Yan smiled a warm smile but, it wasn't the loving kind. Merely a facade to cover her slight irritation that they were angering her precious little boy by wasting time.
"Understood. Then let us move on, what will the price of the pills be set at?" Hong Xiang Ling acknowledged and then asked, finally getting the message that they messed up coming here like this.
"Since they must be taken by a man and a woman for the full effect, they will be sold as a pair. And of course for safety reasons… DO NOT MIX PILLS! If a man takes the women's pill or vice versa… Well, it won't be pleasant. So, with that in mind. You should know they are a controlled drug. Which means you'll have to travel here. And then, go to the city to purchase them. Just like everyone else. Alternatively, you come here and I will charge no less than a 5th rank material for the regular pills that will work on those at or below 6th rank open heaven." I said, scanning to see the look of shock on their faces.
"Is it truly that, something that's so impressive, could be so inexpensive?" Luo Xiu muttered surprised.
"Oh, it would have cost you all a bit less if my plans hadn't been forced to accelerate via your actions today." I answered, making it abundantly clear how upset I was with them. "That and while we have many resources now. It won't last much longer than a few generations. So it's better to get as many as I can. You understand. Now, for those of you wanting the high rank pills. You will be subjected to a wait time. And the highest bidders will be the ones to receive my aid in this matter. If you all accept these terms Then you may submit the request. I'll be refining no more than 7 sets three days from now." I said standing up and stretching.
The big door to the hall opened at this moment and a young girl came running in. Her Master walked through the door as well.
"A little girl interrupting this meeting…" Zhuo Bu Qun yelled, about to hit the girl.
He was promptly interrupted. "WAIT DON'T DO IT!" Several other Elders yelled.
It was too late though. I had already changed places with the girl. The girl was now being held by Su Yan, an angry Su Yan.
"You're quite bold to dare such an action in my presence." I stated, not with my words, nor through telepathy… No, my Thunderous Aura whipped and shocked the air to make these words. "You must be punished." It continued.
What followed was nothing short of a one sided brutal punishment. A punch to the face and gut with the same fist at the same time. The so-called 7th rank open heaven Zhuo Bu Qun… Didn't stand a chance. In a matter of mere moments I had beaten Zhuo Bu Qun to the point where all he knew was… pain. And he coughed up blood, stumbling till he landed on the floor.
This was the first moment the other Elders noticed the look on my face. It was one so filled with a ferocious anger… That they had no words to accurately describe it.
"If there wasn't an ultimate enemy out there, I'd have killed you right here for daring to raise a hand against my family." My lightning continued to convey. "Xiu Ding Ai, are you okay?" My voice carried over in a curious and comforting tone. A stark contrast to what just happened.
"I was scared, but big brother beat him good!" Xiu Ding Ai said, trying to hide the fact she was clearly shaken. Something that was impossible to hide while in Su Yan's arms.
"All of you leave. The deal is off. Head Manager, begin preparations to send Myriad Demons Cave Heaven a demand. If their Supreme Elder doesn't come to apologize in short order I will personally make sure half of their force is erased from the 3000 Worlds. And replace this idiotic Elder. He is lucky I didn't kill him today. But, if he had actually managed to hurt even a single hair… Well, my Karma with the King of Hell would undoubtedly have changed." I said, slowly returning to a normal and controlled state.
