Chapter 509 510: Charging Straight In

The list was filled with a massive quantity of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Although their grades weren't high—mostly third and fourth-grade—the sheer volume was staggering.

Yun Misha's captivating brows knitted together. "Brother Li Xu, the Demon, what do you take my Fox Demon Race for? A treasure trove that mass-produces Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?"

A chill also entered Yun Mengshang's eyes. She said coldly, "The sixth-grade lightning-attribute gloves and the sixth-grade fire-attribute Spirit Sword on that list are simply absurd. I, the Demon King, don't even possess a single sixth-grade Spiritual Artifact. And for two fifth-grade Spirit Plants, you expect us to go find you sixth-grade Spiritual Artifacts? Do you take our Fox Demon Race for fools?"

Chen Dong stared intently at Yun Mengshang's blue eyes, finding them beautiful no matter how he looked.

But he couldn't afford to go soft now. He snorted coldly and said, "You took my Yuqing Immortal Technique. Is it not worth as much as these items? You've had two days to comprehend it; you should know the value of that Immortal Technique by now!"

Enraged by Chen Dong's attitude, Yun Misha's anger flared. Being a Fire Fox, she had a naturally short temper. In a flash, she was upon him, her hand gripping his neck.

"Believe it or not, I'll really kill you! Your Immortal Technique ran off on its own, and now you have the gall to blame us for it!"

Chen Dong was taken aback. 'She can argue it that way?' he thought. 'But she kind of has a point. The Immortal Technique really did run off on its own.'

However, Yun Mengshang said, "The quantity of treasures you're asking for is too great. The entire Fox Demon Race can't produce this much. At most, we can give you one of each item. Also, we truly don't have any sixth-grade Spiritual Artifacts. How about we replace them with fifth-grade ones?"

Yun Misha immediately released Chen Dong, staring at Yun Mengshang in disbelief.

"Mengshang, this brat is treating us like idiots! Are you really going to give him what he wants?"

Yun Mengshang nodded lightly. "The Spirit Plants are essential. Besides, the Yuqing Immortal Technique is worth this price."

Yun Misha, who hadn't seen the actual Immortal Technique, felt the sting of the trade. She asked, perplexed, "Is that Immortal Technique really so miraculous?"

Yun Mengshang didn't speak aloud. Instead, she sent a voice transmission: "If I can fully comprehend the Yuqing Immortal Technique, I'm confident I can storm the Cyan Sky Sect and avenge Aunt Xue!"

Hearing this, Yun Misha froze. She said no more, tacitly agreeing to the deal.

Just then, however, Chen Dong snorted coldly. "Hmph, not good enough! With an exchange like that, I'd be taking a huge loss. You have to add another condition!"

'My original plan has already succeeded,' Chen Dong thought. 'But for Liu Ling's mission, I have to add this condition.'

Yun Misha was so angry that the fox markings on her face became visible, and Nine-Star Fox Fire erupted around her body.

"You brat, don't push your luck! You should learn to quit while you're ahead!"

Chen Dong was no longer a Cultivator who could be intimidated by the aura of a Divinity Transformation Stage expert. He put on the air of a scoundrel, an act so convincing he almost wanted to punch himself. 'This is all part of the script Liu Ling demanded,' he thought. 'She insisted on giving me this rogue persona, playing out some ridiculous 'Demon King Falls for the Bandit' drama. I have no choice but to go along with it.'

Yun Mengshang, appearing relatively calm, said flatly, "What's the condition? State it."

Chen Dong's expression hardened. He looked down on the two of them and said, just as flatly, "Fall in love with me."

Yun Mengshang and Yun Misha were instantly stunned, shocked, and utterly astounded!

Yun Misha asked again, her voice cold, "Who exactly are you?"

Chen Dong's appearance made her feel as if someone was plotting against the Fox Demon Race.

Yun Mengshang shook her head. "Impossible. I cannot agree to that!"

Chen Dong said calmly, "Who I am isn't important. Our goals are the same. The Fox Demon Race cannot afford any losses. Even if you heal the Second Elder, her incomplete bloodline is clearly not enough to stand against the current Demon Race. Only you..."

Chen Dong pointed at Yun Mengshang. "Only by mastering the Frost Fox Illusion Realm Divine Techniques can the Fox Demon Race be safe. And only if you fall in love with me will you be reluctant to kill me. Otherwise, after I tell you where the Spirit Plants are and you've gathered the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for me, what's to stop you from killing me and taking it all for yourselves?"

Yun Misha fell into deep thought. What this Li Xu said was true; it was just as she had feared. 'Thinking about it, Li Xu's identity doesn't really matter anymore,' she mused. 'In any case, he can't be on the side of the Demon Race. From the Flame Cold Climbing Ivy at the very beginning to his killing of the Brown Earth Celestial King, all his actions have been in opposition to the Demon Race.'

So, Yun Misha glanced quietly at Yun Mengshang. It would be for the best if Yun Mengshang could indeed fall in love, but everything depended on whether she was willing.

At that moment, however, Yun Mengshang's face was deathly pale. As a member of the Frost Fox Race, her skin was already fair, but now it was as white as snow.

Her eyes were filled with panic as she shook her head frantically. "No, no, absolutely not! I won't agree to that condition!"

Seeing her reaction, Chen Dong felt quite helpless. 'I genuinely have no idea how to actually seduce a woman,' he thought. 'I had to resort to this heavy-handed tactic, and it still ended in complete failure.'

'I can already see that she has deep-seated emotional issues. Even a master of romance couldn't solve her problems in two months. No matter how I approach this, it's a dead end.' For the sake of his own life, Chen Dong decisively decided to take his leave.

'As for those treasures, forget it. If I take even a single item, I'll definitely be imprisoned!'

Chen Dong sped out of the city, flew to a deserted area, and sent a voice transmission: "Master Liu Ling, if we don't leave now, when will we?"

Liu Ling replied, "We can't leave. You've been marked with a Divine Sense. They're coming after us!"

Chen Dong had a sudden realization. He touched his neck; it was slightly hot.
