‘You will certainly kill me?’
Ji Hao looked at Di Luolang, and decided to ‘nicely’ push him a step further towards the edge.
“Well, regarding that, we can discuss later. Isn’t our current concern the ransom you’re going to give me?” said Ji Hao while looking at Di Luolang with a quite honest face, his eyes even filled with passion and encouragement, “The family glory is all that matters, isn’t it? Don’t even worry about the little bit knowledge you’re going to give us, that will hardly bring any harm to your great Yu Clan.”
Slightly sighing, Ji Hao continued with a trace of sadness and regret in his tone, “After all, our humankind is so, so weak, while your Yu Clan is so powerful. Even if we can have a slight little bit of your knowledge…”
Hearing Ji Hao, Di Luolang started nodding. ‘Isn’t that true? Our Yu Clan is so great and powerful, but look at these poor weak human beings…They can never harm the great Yu Clan, not even if they get a small part of our Yu Clan’s ocean-wide knowledge; after all, that part of knowledge will be too small to be even worth mentioning.’
Ji Hao straightened his thumb and forefinger, showing Di Luolang a very small distance, then said, “Our humankind is just like an ant, and if you kindly give us a juicy slice of meat in mercy, we will, indeed, gain a slight little bit of power after we eat it… But, how could an ant possibly hurt a dragon?”
Di Luolang raised his head, looked down at Ji Hao and said, “Our Yu Clan is indeed a genuine dragon who dominates the sky!”
Ji Hao let out a long and heavy breath, responding, “…and our humankind is indeed an ant. Despite the fact that I am never willing to admit this, this is the very truth.”
At this moment, Huaxu Lie started at Ji Hao in an extremely passionate and eager way. In order to gain more benefits, Ji Hao had just depreciated himself and his own kind to such a degree, what a genius!
Di Luolang threw a complicated glance at Ji Hao, gnashed his teeth and said, “Although your words have pleased me, I do realize that you have a purpose when you said all that. But all in all, since Di Suo and Di Mo, the two useless kids, have already been captured by you…”
Ji Hao hurriedly gave a big grin and added, “Please don’t forget that I also have Di Sha’s skeleton.”
Di Luolang gnashed his teeth even more tightly, and said in an especially deep voice, “Alright, alright, our Di Family will offer you a thousand secret formulae…”
Huaxu Lie’s eyeballs shone once again, he slightly opened his mouth, seeming about to say something. However, before any word came out of his mouth, Ji Hao abruptly and cruelly interrupted Di Luolang.
“A thousand formulae?” yelled Ji Hao, “What do you think we are? Starving and injured street dogs?! Only a thousand formulae? No, this negotiation can’t go on. Right now, I’m telling my people to find a female gorilla, feed it with the ‘love potion’, and strip Di Suo so we can all watch the gorilla rape him!”
Ji Hao stared at Di Luolang with an evil look, and continued in a cold, even creepy voice, “Right before the faces of millions of your Yu Clan’s army commanders and warriors, I will send the ugliest and oldest female gorilla to generate an intimate relationship, that will go way beyond friendship, with Di Suo.”
Di Luolang opened his mouth widely, looking at Ji Hao as if he was looking at a monster.
Huaxu Lie popped out his eyes so much that his eyeballs even nearly flew out of his eye sockets.
Si Wen Ming, who had been dashing towards the camp in a great rush and just reached the entrance, suddenly paused when he heard Ji Hao. His head abruptly shook in shock that almost made him fall on the ground, then he quivered, turned around with a slightly panicked look and asked elder Wulong and the other few Magi Palace’s elders who were behind him, “Have you… taught him that?”
Elder Wulong looked at Si Wen Ming, who seemed completely dumbfounded by what Ji Hao had just said, and threw the question back, “Do we look that evil and shameless to you?”
“This kid is just…gifted… he taught himself lots of things.” added Elder Wulong.
The oldest and ugliest female gorilla?! Rape Di Suo in front of millions of Yu Clan’s army people?! Those master Magi Tutors of the Magi Palace had seen countless extremely brutal and cruel scenes in their lives and, each of them had taken at least a hundred thousand lives away so far, but Ji Hao’s words still brought them a great coldness and deep fear.
If any man ever suffered what Ji Hao just described, he should probably hide for the rest of his entire life. Even death wouldn’t be able to free him from such a deep shame, and if he died, nasty black smoke might constantly puff out of his grave.
Di Luolang stared at Ji Hao in a great shock and huge fear, that terrified facial expression even making him look like a dying man. After quite a while, he said while stammering, “Magic medicine, magic formation, puppet science, spell symbol… we offer you a thousand formulae in each of these stated fields!”
The shine of Huaxu Lie’s eyes suddenly grew so bright that his eyes now looked even like a pair of tiny suns; in the meanwhile, that shine even started to turn into a greedy green.
In fact, when Di Luolang offered a thousand formulae, Huaxu Lie was incredibly satisfied by the offer. To the Magi Palace, a whole thousand brand new formulae that come from the Xiu Clan’s master artists, in whichever fields, would definitely bring the Magi Palace an amazing, soaring improvement. With those formulae, Magi Palace’s magi would become much more powerful in a few years, and the whole Magi Palace would grow stronger without a doubt.
Unexpectedly, Ji Hao’s nearly shameless threat had raised the offer to one thousand formulas in each field, so easily… Was that even real?!
Huaxu Lie was so excited that his body even began trembling.
As one of the Huaxu Family’s princes, also known as potential inheritors of the family leader’s position, Huaxu Lie was deeply aware of how valuable those formulae could be. Taking magic medicine as an example, creating one new secret recipe required countless human effort, money and materials, as well as innumerable years, after which, more efforts would be made in order to test out the actual effects of this new kind of medicine.
This new medicine might not be as effective as expected, or its effects could be completely the same as some old medicines, which meant, that recipe, which had cost huge amounts of efforts, time and materials, could be totally useless!
A whole thousand recipes of new and effective magic medicine could not only raise the Magi Palace’s current knowledge base to a whole new level, more importantly, they could bring so many inspirations, open up countless new possibilities, and generate an unimaginably great amount of new achievements. Could anyone even imagine that?
A thousand magic medicine recipes, or a thousand structure charts of magic puppets, or a thousand magic formation patterns… any of these could push the Magi Palace’s current knowledge system of a certain field to an entirely new level. As long as the Magi Place’s people could thoroughly learn those new recipes, patterns or structures, the general power of the Magi Palace would absolutely rise, and Huaxu Lie didn’t even dare to imagine how much would that be.
“A thousand each?” Ji Hao looked at Di Luolang, giving an evil and mean sneer, and said, “Upon this offer, I can think about changing the oldest and ugliest gorilla into a young and pretty one! I can even be more generous… I’ll let him choose from a female gorilla and a female jurassic beast! Compared to a muscular female gorilla that has a body covered in hair, he might fancy the jurassic beast more, which is chubbier and has less hair, and smoother skin. Don’t you think so?”
A young and pretty female gorilla?!
That was still a freaking gorilla!
As for jurassic beasts, that was a kind of dirty and stinky animal lying in mud all days. Only the weakest human clans would raise that kind of a beast as a substitute for meat supplies, because they were too weak to hunt those delicious yet fierce wild beasts.
Imagine, Di Suo, a man possessing a noble and great bloodline, holding up a jurassic beast and doing an indescribably nasty thing.
By picturing this scene in his own head, Di Luolang felt that his eyes were going blind - Dishi Yanluo would definitely hack him into pieces, in person, and probably would also feed his corpse prices to gorillas.
“How much do you want?! Whatever you price is, our Di Family will take it!” Di Luolang couldn’t help but yell out in rage, “Kid, you’re another step closer to death!”
“Cut the crap! Whenever will I die, you don’t get to decide!” Ji Hao responded in a bland tone, “Even if I die, your Di Family will obediently hand over a huge juicy piece of meat!”
“Five-thousand formulae, structure charters or magic formation patterns, five-thousand in each field! For each of Di Suo and Di Mo! Don’t you ever try to fool us… Elders of the Magi Palace will evaluate everything you give us, and anything that is of a low grade or we already have won’t count!”
“Di Sha is dead already, so I’ll nicely give you a half price… five thousand in each field. With this price, you can have his bones back.”
