Chapter 597: Chapter 409: The Xuan Bird Clan of the Nine Heavens, Installment Trading!_1

“`

Can it be swallowed?

Xuanqing was somewhat surprised in his heart.

He hadn’t expected that such an inconspicuous little shop could actually take in so many Devouring Heaven Fruits.

One must know.

At the price of nine hundred and fifty Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones for a Devouring Heaven Fruit, six thousand five hundred fruits would total six hundred and ten thousand Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones.

Such an enormous number of Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones was not a small sum even among the Ancient God Clan, and most of the clan members of the Chaos True Monarch Realm would not be able to save up that much in their entire lives.

“Master Xuan, please have a cup of tea and wait for a moment, I’ve already sent a message to headquarters, and I believe they will soon send someone over,” said the Black Bird shopkeeper, bowing deeply.

…

He waited for a short while.

‘Chirp~’

With a piercing and lofty chirp,

a colorful little bird flew in from outside the shop. As it approached, it transformed into a woman with feathered tail.

The woman had delicate features and her eyes were extremely expressive; her transformed state was quite in line with the aesthetics of both humanity and the Ancient God Clan.

In fact.

Over many years in the entire Northern Galaxy Domain, many races have evolved towards the form of the Ancient God Clan in their evolution.

“Greetings to Miss Xuan Wu!” The shopkeeper of Black Bird bowed deeply as he greeted, then introduced, “This is the Ancient God Senior that this subordinate mentioned… Master Xuan!”

The Black Bird shopkeeper then introduced to Xuanqing, “Master Xuan, this is the third princess of the Xuan Bird Clan, mainly in charge of the Business Alliance’s affairs.”

After making the introductions, he tactfully left to prepare the tea.

…

“The young lady Xuan Wu greets Master Xuan!” Xuan Wu bowed lightly; even in the presence of an Ancient Archon, her demeanor was neither servile nor overbearing.

“Hmm.”

Xuanqing nodded slightly, unconcerned with who was before him, and got straight to the point, “It’s nice to meet you, Miss Xuan Wu.”

“The shopkeeper must have told you that my purpose for coming here is to sell Devouring Heaven Fruits, a total of six thousand five hundred pieces, at a unit price of ninety-five Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones.”

Upon hearing this,

Xuan Wu’s red lips parted slightly as she said, “The price is fine, the quantity is a bit large, but the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Business Alliance can handle it.”

“It’s just… could you wait for some time?”

Wait for some time?

“How long must I wait?” Xuanqing frowned slightly.

“A short span would be two years, at most within a hundred years, we will be able to settle the trouble and then be able to take in all of your Devouring Heaven Fruits,” Xuan Wu said with a touch of hope on her face.

The six thousand five hundred Devouring Heaven Fruits represented a significant deal for the alliance she controlled, especially during these tumultuous times.

However,

upon hearing ‘two years~a hundred years’ time frame,

Xuanqing’s heart sank.

Perhaps this period meant nothing to other members of the Ancient God Clan,

but for him, to wait so long just to sell some Devouring Heaven Fruits was definitely not what he wanted.

With that thought,

“I’m sorry, Miss Xuan Wu, I urgently need to sell these Devouring Heaven Fruits. Since you can’t provide the crystals now, then the deal can’t be done,” he said.

“Farewell!”

Having said that,

Xuanqing did not wait for the other party to say anything more and turned to leave immediately.

“Wait a moment!”

A clear voice came from behind.

Xuan Wu pursed her lips and then subtly accentuated her bosom, knowing as a female bird how to highlight her assets.

“Master Xuan, I can trade with you right now, it’s just… could you help me out with a little favor?”

“If you could help, I would definitely ‘thank’ you properly for it,” she said.

Just as she spoke,

“Heh heh!”

Xuanqing chuckled softly.

He had never imagined that such a clichéd scenario would occur in a place as sophisticated as the Endless Chaos.

That’s right.

In Xuanqing’s eyes, the Endless Chaos was always regarded as a ‘Cultivation Holy Land’; in such a place, shouldn’t everyone be absorbed in their practice?

Why was there ‘seduction’?

Most importantly,

having reached their realm in cultivation, they had long since been freed from the control of ‘genetic transfer’; they were no longer impulsively driven by lower desires.

“Sorry, if you wish to purchase my Devouring Heaven Fruits that’s fine, but as for other matters… I’m not involved,” Xuanqing replied.

He stopped in his tracks, glanced at Xuan Wu, and then continued to walk away.

Seeing this,

the glimmer of hope in Xuan Wu’s eyes dissipated as she watched his retreating figure, filled with a sense of loss.

She could only watch helplessly as a huge order slipped away, and more importantly, she had failed to secure the support of such an influential member of the Ancient God Clan.

“Sigh!”

With a sigh,

Xuan Wu sat in the chair of the VIP room, seemingly lost in thought, the entire bird looking utterly dejected.

Just then, the shopkeeper of Black Bird came in carrying a fresh pot of hot tea, and asked curiously,

“Eh, Miss, has Master Xuan left?”

Seeing this,

Xuan Wu’s face regained its composure, she softly ‘Hmm-ed’ in response, then encouraged, “You did well this time; even though the deal did not go through, it wasn’t your fault.”

“If something like this happens again, continue in the same way, try to keep the other party engaged.”

Having said this,

Xuan Wu stood up, took a deep breath, and prepared to leave just like that.

She hadn’t come with much hope anyways; after all, most of the Ancient God Clan were obsessed with cultivation, with few interested in beauty, unlike a certain small bug clan which was truly disgusting.
