Chapter 2398 Commanding the Sea Demons with Medicine

The moment they heard the words of Sea Demon King Ying Xiu, many of the sea demons present were stunned, especially those from the Huaxia Sea Border, whose eyes were as shocked as if they had discovered a new continent.

"1 yuan is okay? Is the world too crazy, or did I hear wrong? Isn't Ying Xiu notorious for being a miser? Back then, even when the Dragon Emperor beat him to the point of breaking bones and tearing muscles, he couldn't snatch the treasure from his hands. And now, he's actually talking about making a deal with Shen Qiang seriously?"

"This doesn't seem right. Ying Xiu is the stingiest, and is famous for not letting anyone expect to gain any benefit from him. But now, he's only asking Shen Qiang to supply medicine at a fixed quantity to get that box? He's not even curious about what's inside?"

"Such a strange feeling; wasn't he supposed to refuse to hand over the box no matter what, and then get blown up by Shen Qiang?"

The many Great Sea Demons looked bewildered.

The beautiful eyes of the Mermaid Princess, Qian Ning, beside Shen Qiang, sparkled brightly. She looked at Shen Qiang shyly and excitedly, her face full of a 'hum, isn't my man amazing?' expression.

Not only that, Yu Wenzi, who was following behind Shen Qiang, also looked at Shen Qiang with stunned beautiful eyes.

"A deal! You can settle it for 1 yuan? Can such a ferocious Great Sea Demon like Ying Xiu really be dealt with so easily? If that's true, how strong must Shen Qiang be?"

As their gaze turned to shock, Shen Qiang, who always liked to smile, slightly frowned and said, "Huaxia is too far away from here, your request is a bit demanding."

Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, everyone was dumbfounded, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Meanwhile, Ying Xiu stepped forward abruptly, looking at Shen Qiang coldly and said, "Young man, you'd better not try to play tricks on me. Young individuals like you are just freshly hatched fish eggs in my eyes, no, even a Dragon Egg doesn't hold any threat to me now, and don't try to deceive me; I know you're using those medicines to make those demons from Huaxia Sea Border recognize you as the Dragon Emperor."

"That's the real treasure, isn't it?" Ying Xiu gazed at Shen Qiang, with a treacherous and greedy expression, and said, "With no side effects, it can treat rotten gills, water fungus, and repel parasites. This medicine is our dream. As long as you do as I say, supply the medicine regularly and in sufficient quantity, the box will be yours."

Shen Qiang smiled, but his eyes were very cold, "Those medicines are prepared for my subordinates, why should I provide them to you?"

At this moment, all the sea demons' eyes became extremely serious, especially the Great Sea Demons of the Huaxia Sea Border, who felt extremely frustrated.

"Yes, why give them? Let them keep using Malachite Green, since they're unwilling to serve the Dragon Emperor, where do they get off using the Dragon Emperor's medicines!"

"Hehe, no wonder that miser Ying Xiu suddenly changed his mind; turns out he's after the Dragon Emperor's medicines."

"Dragon Emperor's new medicines are essential Spiritual Medicine for all Sea Clan. The price is very cheap, the effect is magical, and there are no side effects, it's like water is for fish. Ying Xiu is indeed overly shrewd."

The sea demons were vigilant because before this, the diluted Frost Armor Spirit was theirs alone, though knowing that whether Shen Qiang provides medicines to Ying Xiu is up to Shen Qiang and has nothing to do with them, yet at this moment, they inexplicably hope Shen Qiang doesn't give them.

Simultaneously, Yu Wenzi, who had been silent, suddenly had her eyes light up.

"Use the Emperor to command the vassals! Shen Qiang is not immediately agreeing to this matter, and using such clear language to hint, clearly intending to use this medicine to make Ying Xiu bow and acknowledge Shen Qiang as his master; remarkable, deserving to be the Medicine King. Though this plan seems despicable, it will definitely be effective, after all, concerning actual personal interests, even sea demons would be hard-pressed not to bow."

The sea demons and Yu Wenzi had many thoughts.

At this time, Ying Xiu coldly watched Shen Qiang and said, "Shen Qiang, I understand what you're thinking, but I advise you not to harbor thoughts that I must acknowledge you as a master to get the medicine. You should understand that the Huaxia Sea Border is not a monolith; being fellow sea demons, even without you, I have ways to get your medicine."

Upon hearing this, the sea demons under Ying Xiu had a hint of a smile on their lips.

The sea demons from Huaxia looked a bit grim.

While Shen Qiang quickly grasped Ying Xiu's meaning - he could get hold of the meds Shen Qiang gave to Huaxia's sea demons from other Huaxia sea demons, which was inevitable. After all, sea demons remain sea demons, and their relationships are intertwined and complex.

So simply relying on this to coerce Ying Xiu is hardly possible.

Because even without acquiring a large amount of Frost Armor Spirit, Ying Xiu could manage to get a small amount, save a bit, allocate some to important sea demons, and it would suffice. As for ordinary sea demons, no matter how envious they may be, it wouldn't change anything since in the deep sea, strength remains the ruler.

"If you're not my subordinates, using my medicine will be very expensive." Shen Qiang's smile was inexplicably reminiscent of Bianyi.

Upon hearing this, Ying Xiu laughed, struck the box before him and said, "I have what you want, understand? You don't need to scare me with devil talk, nod and we have a deal, shake your head and it's over."

"Five times the price." Shen Qiang remarked calmly, "That's the cost price, I can subsidize my subordinates, but I'm not interested in subsidizing my enemies."

Ying Xiu raised an eyebrow instantly, said sharply, "Are you bluffing me?"

Shen Qiang replied, "Whether I'm bluffing you isn't important. This place is far from Huaxia, mountains high, roads remote, and involves production, transportation, various facets requiring a lot of money. If it's just a batch of medicine, I can give it to you, but for long term, it's this price."

Bang!

The Sea Demon King lifted his foot and kicked the box straight to Shen Qiang's feet, then spoke in a deep voice, "Three times the price, we'll take it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yujiang's eyes were filled with astonishment.

"This miser, stingy to death usually, yet turned out to be so generous in this matter."

Uncle Gui's eyes turned cold, exceptionally vigilant while gazing at Ying Xiu.

"Ying Xiu is miserly because he's acutely aware of the importance of money, and he's indeed generous to his subordinates, which is why he can securely hold the Demon King position. Moreover, three times the price is rather reasonable, despite the long journey, but with triple the price, the profit should not be low, with that, Shen Qiang should consent."
