CHAPTER 433: CHAPTER 433 EMPEROR YULIN CANNOT STAY CALM

"Three more, just the last three!"

"If no one’s buying, I’ll take them back."

The remaining Qilin Quasi-Emperors were anxiously stomping their feet.

It’s not that they don’t want to buy.

Such large and rare ’Emperor Venerable Level’ pearls, they absolutely couldn’t resist.

They were practically drooling over them.

But, they just didn’t have enough Demon Essence!

Honestly, Brother Cheng just happened to find the Qilin Race, who’ve been the rulers of the Demon Race for billions of years, secretly amassing unknown fortunes.

If it were other races, they wouldn’t have been able to afford them even at the ’Celestial Venerable Level’.

But even for the Qilin Race, the price of 1 billion Demon Essence was still a bit too high.

The other Quasi-Emperors really couldn’t come up with it.

"Emperor Junshuai, this price really isn’t expensive, but we just can’t afford it!"

"Indeed, oh, it’s truly regrettable..."

It was fortunate to have the Profound Turtle Emperor as an ally; if it were the Cyan Dragon Emperor or the Ice Phoenix Emperor, they might have just snatched them.

Brother Cheng realized that he had already scraped the fat off the Qilin Race.

So, he thoughtfully offered them a solution.

"I can’t be too harsh with family!"

"How about this: Immortal Crystals, Immortal Artifacts, Immortal Treasure, Demon Artifacts, can all be priced in."

The Quasi-Emperors were overjoyed upon hearing this proposal.

"Really?"

"You’ll also accept Immortal Artifacts and Immortal Treasure?"

Brother Cheng nodded: "I’ll take a bit of a loss, calculate at original price, and later find a way to exchange them with the Celestial Pavilion..."

Truly exchanging them with the Celestial Pavilion would surely be a loss.

The Celestial Pavilion isn’t a charity organization; exchanging Immortal Artifacts on the Demon Realm side would lower the price, at least a third cheaper than their actual value in the Immortal Realm.

But Brother Cheng never planned to exchange them with the Celestial Pavilion; he’d only convert them into System Merit.

He certainly doesn’t mind about that.

The Qilin Race didn’t know these ins and outs, and seeing him willingly take a loss, they were almost touched by him.

"Emperor Junshuai, you truly have a noble heart!"

"We really don’t know how to repay you!"

"Thank you for your generosity!"

And so, gratitude poured in.

While they said they were embarrassed, they quickly whipped out Immortal Artifacts, Immortal Treasure, and Immortal Crystals.

Before long, Brother Cheng had a mountain of shiny Immortal Artifacts, Immortal Treasure, and Immortal Crystals piled before him.

A casual count showed it surpassed what was over on the Cyan Dragon Race’s side.

Swiftly calculating the price, the last three pearls were all finally sold.

And with that, this pearl selling convention was perfectly concluded.

"Alright, that’s it!"

Brother Cheng understood that they genuinely couldn’t afford more if he kept selling.

At the scene, the Qilins were excitedly playing with their pearls; some even swallowed them outright.

Brother Cheng glanced at the gains from this round, equally elated.

In any case, it was a happy outcome for everyone.

After this trade, the pearls from the Golden Sea might not catch anyone’s eye anymore.

After all, the market price was pushed down tenfold at least, and the taste of the Qilin Race was elevated several notches.

Implicitly, Brother Cheng did a good deed, as the Clam Race would no longer be coveted and enslaved for their pearl production.

Because those ’small pearls’ they produce have already lost their value.

In the future, when these Qilins see pearl-sized pearls as big as pigeon eggs or fists, how could they bother looking?

As for the soybean-sized ones, what rubbish is that?

"Alright, I should be leaving."

"Ah? Emperor Junshuai, you’re leaving?"

"Not staying with us for a few days?

Brother Cheng thought to himself, stay a few days and my transformation might expire, letting the cat out of the bag.

"No, no, I have other urgent matters!"

"See you in a while at the Grand Demon Assembly!"

"Alright, alright..."

The crowd of Qilins was immersed in the world of pearls and casually responded a few lines, so no one even came to see him off.

Just as he was about to leave, a buzzing voice suddenly sounded from above.

"Profound Turtle Emperor, please stay!"

Brother Cheng looked up sharply, seeing a giant Qilin of pure white jade descending from the sky.

His colossal figure was surrounded by auspicious clouds and divine energy, as if merely approaching him could change fate, incredibly magical.

Compared to him, those previous Qilin Quasi-Emperors were all a tier lower.

Without guessing, Brother Cheng knew this was Emperor Yulin, who wielded the ’Rule of Blessing’.

He couldn’t help but silently brace himself.

If he was unhappy with the recent trade and demanded it be revoked, what then?

Would he have to regurgitate all the Demon Essence and Immortal Artifacts, Immortal Treasure?

Brother Cheng declared that that was impossible!

Even if it comes down to tearing faces and having a fight, he’d definitely take everything away!

"Hahaha..."

Emperor Yulin had just arrived and wasn’t sure what happened yet.

Facing his ’ally’, he was still quite amiable.

"Profound Turtle Emperor, why didn’t you notify me before coming..."

He only got halfway through his sentence before pausing suddenly.

Because he saw the massive pearls hanging around the other Qilin’s necks.

Instantly, his eyes widened to the size of copper bells in utter disbelief.

"You all... where did these pearls come from?"

"How could they be so large?"

The basketball-sized ones were one thing, Emperor Yulin himself had a few and treasured them.

Whenever he was in retreat, he’d occasionally take them out to admire.

But ones as big as a round table, he had never seen before.

As for the ones as big as houses, they had surpassed his comprehension.

How could such massive and even rainbow-colored pearls exist in the world?

This was impossible!

Yet, no matter how he tried sensing and probing with Immortal Soul, Demon Power, or Power of Rules, the result was the same.

These pearls were real!

Flawless, not imitations, nor mere blinding techniques.

Qi Yuan stroked a pearl while laughing: "Hehe, reporting to the Great Emperor, these were just sold to us by Emperor Junshuai!"

"Who’s Emperor Junshuai?"

For a moment, Emperor Yulin didn’t react.

Qimeng and the other Quasi-Emperors quickly stepped forward to explain the situation.

Learning that these pearls were just sold by the ’Profound Turtle Emperor’, Emperor Yulin’s gaze shifted.

He suddenly turned and locked eyes with Brother Cheng.

"Profound Turtle... Emperor Junshuai, do you have any more of these Emperor Venerable Level pearls?"

Brother Cheng nearly spat out.

He originally feared the Qilin Emperor might be angry.

After all, they used a pile of useless things to exchange for a lot of cultivation essentials.

But instead, he wanted to buy them too?

He had no idea that once the Qilin Emperor saw these incredibly large pearls, he almost couldn’t move.

Beyond that, he felt intense unease and annoyance.

The pearl quality and size within the Qilin Race often represented status image.

He, the mighty Great Emperor, had pearls only at the Ultimate Level size.

Now his subordinates, the Quasi-Emperors, had ’Celestial Venerable Level’, even house-sized ’Emperor Venerable Level’ pearls.

If they went out together in the future, where would his Great Emperor’s image be?

Wouldn’t he be laughed at incredibly?

How could he mingle in the Qilin circle?

He had to have them!

He needed them, and the biggest ’Emperor Venerable Level’ ones at that.

Celestial Venerable Level couldn’t highlight his status!

But as the Great Emperor, he couldn’t openly steal from his subordinates, that would be disgraceful.

So, he could only request to buy from Brother Cheng.
