CHAPTER 880: CHAPTER 658: CONDITIONS

Merchant Lady Nuheng looked at the Life Plate in front of her, a look of suspicion and surprise in her eyes. Although she had seen many rare and precious items, she had never seen such a unique object.

"Something that can test lifespan? How does it work?" She became interested and immediately inquired.

"You just need to drip a drop of blood here." Li Yi pointed at the Life Plate.

Nuheng immediately picked up the Life Plate, then bit her finger and dripped a drop of blood in the middle.

Very quickly.

The Life Plate began to rotate, and then the first number stopped before the pointer: three, followed by the second circle stopping at four, and the third circle stopping at five.

"Merchant Master, your lifespan is three hundred and forty-five years." Li Yi said, also a bit surprised.

Are the people of this world really so long-lived?

A woman, who is neither a warrior nor a cultivator, can live to be three hundred and forty-five years.

"This compass is genuine; the elders in my clan almost died at around this age." Nuheng nodded immediately, confirming the authenticity of the Life Plate.

Li Yi said, "I have grasped the immortality method, and although I haven’t truly reached this stage, my lifespan has already become very long."

As he spoke, he also dripped a drop of blood onto the Life Plate.

Soon, the Life Plate started to rotate again, beginning the test of Li Yi’s lifespan.

In reality, Li Yi hadn’t tested his lifespan for a long time, since he rarely used that lifespan-consuming spiritual weapon and thus wasn’t worried about his lifespan.

However, having now reached the Five Qi Realm, his body evolved, coupled with the awakening of divine blood, there was undoubtedly long life ahead of him; not immortality, but living for thousands of years shouldn’t be a problem.

Indeed, when the Life Plate stopped, Li Yi’s lifespan was shown: three thousand one hundred years.

"I can live for three thousand one hundred years." Li Yi calmly said, "If the Merchant Master obtained the immortality method, you could also live for a thousand years. This is my highest offer. I hope the Merchant Master will consider this."

Nuheng looked at the lifespan number. Although she wasn’t familiar with the Four Seas and Eight Continents’ script, she could discern that Li Yi wasn’t lying or deceiving her, so she felt Li Yi had indeed mastered the immortality method.

Because even a Divine Blood Direct Lineage Warrior couldn’t have a lifespan of three thousand years.

Facing such a tempting offer, Nuheng was indeed intrigued but did not lose rationality. Instead, she gazed at Li Yi with fervor and then spoke: "Da Yi, three thousand years is enough for you to become One God in the future. You shouldn’t put yourself in a dangerous position. I can help you rescue Xiu Xiang, but as compensation, I do not desire the immortality method."

"Not even for the immortality method, what does the Merchant Master desire?" Li Yi frowned.

However, Nuheng laughed and stood up, then moved beside Li Yi and knelt down, holding his hand, "I want to become Da Yi’s wife. If you agree, I will not only rescue Xiu Xiang but be willing to present half of Beihuai City to you."

"Half of Beihuai City?" Li Yi’s eyelid twitched.

Goodness, this Nuheng is indeed a hidden wealthy lady.

He just didn’t expect Nuheng would covet his looks.

Nuheng earnestly stared at Li Yi, waiting for his answer, because, in her view, both the immortality method and future protection from One God were not as good as becoming Li Yi’s wife.

"Your conditions are too high. I cannot agree." But Li Yi calmly declined.

"My beauty is not inferior to any beauty, my wealth can rival any master’s, I can help you establish a powerful Divine Blood Family, why refuse to make me your wife?" Nuheng questioned again.

Li Yi did not say a word and immediately stood up: "It seems coming here was a mistake. I should be searching other ways to rescue Xiu Xiang."

"Da Yi, wait." Seeing this, Nuheng quickly bowed: "I apologize for my rash actions."

Li Yi stared at her and said: "A Merchant Master should act like a Merchant Master; not everything is tradable. Your actions insult me, and if my future wife finds out about today’s events, she would surely kill you. However, I have promised you protection once, so my promise cancels out today’s insult."

Nuheng said: "This is the price I must pay for my rashness. But, could Da Yi allow me to say a few more words?"

"Does the Merchant Master have more to say?" Li Yi asked.

Nuheng said: "I am willing to help you rescue Xiu Xiang."

"And the conditions?" Li Yi asked again.

Nuheng said: "This time, there are no conditions. Let it be my compensation to you."

Li Yi looked at her suspiciously, a bit incredulous.

Nuheng did not offer further explanation but continued: "Da Yi, please follow me. I can take you to see Xiu Xiang, who is currently imprisoned in Beihuai City’s most dangerous prison. However, to rescue him, we must obtain the City Lord’s pardon."

"Perhaps, Xiu Xiang knows better how to rescue himself."

She said, rising again, and ordered servants to prepare everything for departure.

Soon.

The servants and guards brought a carriage encrusted with gemstones and covered with flowers for travel. The carriage was not pulled by horses but by a large mutant beast, which Li Yi did not recognize, but its strength was no less than that of Qiu Niu.

Nuheng soon stepped onto the carriage, extending an invitation: "Da Yi, please accompany me."

Li Yi looked at her, unsure whether to trust this woman.

He considered her quite complex, as someone in Beihuai City with such vast wealth must not be merely wealthy.

From Earth’s perception, when one’s wealth reaches a certain level, they must also wield extraordinary power, or they would have perished long ago, whereas power in the Barbaric World represents strength.

So, Nuheng must possess powerful strength, which allows her to maintain such immense wealth.

However, at the moment, Li Yi had no better options.

Besides trusting this woman, he had no other assistance available.

"I hope you don’t disappoint me." Li Yi said, "If you can help me rescue Xiu Xiang, I will give you the deserved reward."

With that, he stepped onto the carriage.

With mutant beasts pulling the carriage, guards clearing the way, the convoy headed toward the inner city of Beihuai City.

Inside the carriage.

Nuheng smiled as she gently touched her abdomen, then said, "If Da Yi must reward me, I hope it will be with a divine blood offspring of your lineage, so that I can establish a Divine Blood Family in the future."

"..." Li Yi realized that this woman was plotting against him.

"A Divine Blood Lineage should not be hard for the Merchant Master to find; it need not be my divine blood."

Nuheng said nothing, only smilingly looked at Li Yi.
