C2360 They Returned Empty Handed

"That's a good idea. Otherwise, our Tidal Kingdom won't be able to live a peaceful life if the other party continues to pester us." King Tiegu nodded and echoed softly.

"I think they'll mention the matter of borrowing the spirit vein later. If we talk to them and fall into a passive position, we'll be able to take the initiative to attack them!" Feng Yixiu smiled faintly and said faintly.

" Oh? Why did he strike first..." King Xigu said with great interest.

"Let's first cry that we're poor, then we'll ask them to borrow the spirit vein's resources!" Feng Yixiu slightly nodded his head and said in a deep voice.

"That's a good idea. If that's the case, they can only return empty-handed..." King Tiegu nodded and chuckled.

"Uncle, I didn't have the chance to ask you just now. This Flower of Evil seems to be really confident. Are you really not afraid that they will take revenge in the future?" Feng Yixiu hesitated for a moment, but he still couldn't help but ask.

"I'm afraid... I'm scared to death. The Flower of Evil has a monstrous power. Our Tidal Kingdom can't afford to offend them. However, compared to life and death, I'm more afraid of losing my moral principles. I'll let you down!" King Tiegu's expression was solemn. He then changed the topic and said softly, "To tell you the truth, if it weren't for you and Song'er, I don't know if I would have been able to withstand such coercion and temptation."

" I assure you that I will not let you down! " Feng Yixiu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Alright, alright, alright... Uncle believes in your judgment, and also believes in his judgment."

King Tiegu said three good words in a row, and his gaze towards Xining was filled with trust and gratification.

Although they had only been together for over two months, they had unknowingly established a deep friendship.

The two of them did not stay in the back hall for too long before walking out and returning to their seats.

"Great Commander, Zhen can agree to your conditions and promise not to interfere in the dispute between you and China, but..." King Tiegu said hesitantly.

"But what?"

The Chief Commander agreed readily and couldn't help but be a little excited.

"But recently, the main spirit vein of our Tidal Kingdom has been attacked by the unknown sea's Demon Beast, causing the supply of spirit stones in our country to be insufficient. I heard that the Dragon Palace and Sea Demon Palace have a trade of spirit stones with the Flower of Evil, so I think we should have a lot of money on hand. Can you lend us some for emergencies? ” King Tiegu raised his eyebrows and asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Head Commander Nurarihyon's face turned green. He never would have thought that the other party would actually open his mouth to borrow spirit stones.

Today, he had come to the Tidal Kingdom with a mission. Firstly, he wanted to form a strategic alliance. Secondly, he wanted to form an economic alliance.

The strategic alliance's goal could be considered to have been achieved with great difficulty. Although they had not completely pulled the other party into their camp, they had at least promised not to interfere in the relevant disputes.

The economic alliance had put it nicely. First, it had used the excuse of providing assistance to the alliance to ask for spirit stones and resources. It had promised to return three times the amount after the victory in the Catastrophe of the Seas.

In fact, it was just a trick of the Nine Sins. The purpose was to plunder the spirit veins at the bottom of the sea to exchange for blood stones to speed up the process of possession.

In fact, the Dragon Palace and the Sea Demon Palace were unwilling to do so. However, they had no choice but to agree because of the face of the Nine Sins. Moreover, the resources of the seabed spirit veins were indeed very abundant, so it would not be a problem even if it did not affect their own development.

"I'm afraid this won't work. Your Majesty, there's something you don't know. Your Excellency's possession requires a large amount of spirit stone resources, and we don't have enough spirit stone resources..." Chief Commander Nurarihyon decisively refused.

"So that's the case! There's nothing we can do about it. Let's think of something else..." King Xigu pretended to be disappointed as he shook his head and sighed.

"If that's the case, let's wish a pleasant cooperation in advance. I won't disturb you for now."

As he spoke, Head Commander Nurarihyon slowly got up. After bowing, he prepared to leave.

"Zhen still has some matters to deal with. Forgive me for not sending you off..."

King Tiegu also slowly got up and watched Head Commander Nurarihyon disappear from his sight.

The Long San Crown Prince also followed Chief Commander Nurarihyon and left. His proposal of marriage had not succeeded, so he could only send all the betrothal gifts back without any change.

The moment he stepped out of the kingdom's gates, Chief Commander Nurarihyon's expression suddenly sank as he softly said, "This old and young fox is really not easy to deal with. I'm afraid that the Tidal Kingdom's side still can't be relied on."

This time, the Tidal King's visit to the capital seemed to have come to an agreement, but in reality, it was fruitless. It even involved many rare treasures. It was simply a double loss.2

"Chief Commander, do you mean that King Tiangu will not keep his promise?" The Long San Crown Prince frowned slightly and asked curiously.

"Isn't it obvious? Before we even open our mouth, our thoughts were cut off by the other party. Why does this seem like they want to cooperate!" Chief Commander Nurarihyon said angrily.

"Then, in your opinion, what should we do?" The expression of the Long San Crown Prince was solemn as he asked in a low voice.

"Now we can only execute the second plan. Since we are unable to cooperate, then we will completely destroy the Tidal Kingdom to prevent future troubles!" Chief Commander Nurarihyon's gaze was cold as he lightly said.

"The second plan... I wonder if Junior has any way to help?" The Long San Crown Prince nodded his head. He seemed to be interested in this proposal as well.

"Now with the reason of annulling the engagement, head to the War King Manor. This old man needs to meet Princess Chao Yin." The corner of Chief Commander Nurarihyon's mouth raises slightly as he says faintly.

"Why do you need to see Princess Chao Yin? She doesn't seem to have any value to be used anymore..." The Long San Crown Prince said somewhat puzzledly.

"You don't have to worry about that. Later, you just need to cooperate with me. If the plan goes smoothly, we can destroy the Tidal Kingdom without any bloodshed." Chief Commander Nurarihyon said with a serious expression.

"Alright, Junior will definitely cooperate with Senior with all my might!"

The Long San Crown Prince cupped his fist slightly and echoed in a deep voice.

After the group left the Tidal King City, they headed straight for the War King's territory. As this area was under the jurisdiction of Prince Xizhan, it did not attract the attention of King Xigu.

On the other hand, the War King's territory was extremely lively. Ever since Princess Chao Ge found out about the invitation of the Third Prince's group, she could not wait to meet them.

However, Prince Xizhan had received the news from the palace ahead of time, and had never allowed Princess Chao Yin to go to the Tidal King Palace.

"Royal father, Crown Prince Long San has clearly come to propose marriage, why do you insist on stopping me?"

Princess Chao Yin had repeatedly wanted to rush out of the bedchamber, but was stopped by Prince Xizhan.

"Yin'er, have you ever thought that if Crown Prince Long San really wants to propose marriage to you, why didn't he directly come to the War King Manor and head to the Tide King Palace instead?" Prince Xi Zhan hesitated for a long time before carefully replying with a question.

"You... You mean that he didn't come to propose marriage to me?" Only then did Princess Chao Yin come to a realization. She looked at her father in disbelief.

Prince Xi Zhan nodded slightly. After a moment of silence, he continued, "I just received news that Prince Long San has already proposed marriage to Princess Chao Ge..."

"This... This is impossible! Ao Feng is not such a person. Why would he take a fancy to that girl?"

Princess Chao Yin's pupils suddenly narrowed, her hot heart instantly cooled down to freezing point, her face full of disbelief.
