Chapter 1275 - Chapter 80 The Deal

Chapter 80 The Deal

At this moment, the Evil Yang Tribe and the Charm Tribe formed an alliance in their short conversation.

After the conversation, Xing Mo went back to the Yang Region to prepare for the alliance.

As for Ding Hao and Evil Moon, they did not leave. Instead, they stayed here.

At this moment, in a courtyard of the imperial palace.

“When will you get the scroll from that Empress?” Evil Moon, the Demon King, who had rarely spoken since arriving at the Charm Region, spoke at this moment.

“Tomorrow. We have been talking about the alliance and Ding Tong today. It’s not appropriate to mention the scroll now…” Ding Hao replied.

“Okay…” Evil Moon answered casually and then asked doubtfully, “According to Xing Mo, the people of the Charm Tribe are very resistant to outsiders. It wouldn’t be so easy to form an alliance with them this time. But why did Qin Menglan agree to it as soon as Xing Mo mentioned it?”

“I don’t know.” Ding Hao shook his head. In fact, he also had some doubts in his heart, not knowing why.

Evil Moon tilted its head, thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled meaningfully. “Hee hee, I know why.”

Ding Hao asked subconsciously, “Why?”

Evil Moon put on a master’s posture and said with a smile, “With my experience, I know that she definitely took a fancy to you. As a gigolo, you are indeed amazing. In my opinion, Li Lan and Xie Jieyu will have a younger sister soon…”

“Don’t talk nonsense…” Right when Ding Hao felt awkward, Evil Moon said confidently, “Nonsense? I have evidence. You see, in the daytime, since we first met, she has been observing you. She kept staring at you as if she had something to tell you. She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Her att.i.tude is so ambiguous. Do you think it’s possible that she is not interested in you?”

Ding Hao was speechless and did not know how to answer Evil Moon.

During the day, he did feel that the Empress of the Charm Tribe had been observing him, and her eyes made Ding Hao feel a little strange. However, he was sure that the Empress was definitely not admiring him, let alone love him. That was to say, it was definitely not as Evil Moon had said that she took a fancy to him.

However, Ding Hao could not figure out why she had agreed to the alliance.

“Stop dwelling on it. I’ve said that she definitely took a fancy to you, so she agreed to form an alliance with Xing Mo. Although I can’t get the taste of you humans, according to my experience in the past, she should be the most top-notch and beautiful woman among you humans. Moreover… Tsk tsk, she is a high-status queen, and I’m sure she’ll satisfy your evil desires…” Evil Moon winked and laughed.

Ding Hao felt even more embarra.s.sed. “f.u.c.k, are you stupid? When did she tell you that she was interested in me? Don’t talk nonsense. And when did I have evil desires? I’m a decent person. Don’t slander my reputation, or the consequences will be very serious…”

Just as Evil Moon was about to say something, there was a knock on the door, and then a female voice came from outside the door. “Your Excellency, Her Majesty invites you to her chamber…”

Ding Hao and Evil Moon were stunned and looked at the door. Outside the door, they could vaguely see a delicate figure standing there. Under Evil Moon’s ambiguous gaze, Ding Hao could not help coughing softly and replied, “Got it. Please wait…”

“All right!” The woman’s voice sounded again.

“Hahaha, look, look, what did I say? What did I say? Am I right? She’s inviting you over in the middle of the night. When you are alone in the room, you…” The more Evil Moon said, the more excited it became, and its expression became more and more obscene.

“Shut up. What are you talking about? Stay here and don’t go out…” Ding Hao knocked on Evil Moon’s head and rolled his eyes at it. Then, he opened the door and went out. He could still hear Evil Moon going mad angrily. “Ah, it hurts. Human Pet, how dare you knock on my head. When we return to the world of the Heaven Path, I will definitely complain to Li Lan and the others that you are flirting with other women and you have a lot of lovers. Let’s see if you will be miserably punished when you go back. Humph…”

Ding Hao staggered and didn’t know how to react. “This guy just feels free to say anything. Fortunately, Evil Moon sent a voice message to me. Otherwise, it would be embarra.s.sing if the maidservant in front of me heard it…”

After that, Ding Hao followed the maidservant and became confused again. He really didn’t understand why the Empress wanted to see him at this time.

“His Excellency has arrived…”

After a while, in a strange mood, Ding Hao followed the maidservant to Qin Menglan’s chamber and walked in.

Inside the chamber, the floor was made of white jade, with gold beads inside. The beams and the roof were made of fine wood. The foundation of the pillars was made of gold. The lamps were made of water crystal jade. The curtains were made of pearls. A huge night pearl was hanging on the top of the roof. It was s.h.i.+ning like a bright moon, making the whole chamber brighter.

At this moment, numerous delicacies were placed on a round table that was a few feet in size and embroidered with golden phoenixes. The fine aroma of these delicacies, as well as a silver wine jug, made one have great appet.i.te.

The incomparably beautiful Empress of the Charm Tribe, Qin Menglan, was sitting there with her back to Ding Hao and the maid.

“Your Majesty, I’ve brought Lord Ding here.” The servant girl lowered her head and reported to Qin Menglan.

“You may leave!” Qin Menglan turned around and flung her jade-white hand. She didn’t walk over until the maid left and closed the door behind her.

Ding Hao asked, “Patriarch Qin, is there anything urgent that you need me to do?”

“Take a seat first,” Qin Menglan said with a sweet smile.

“Well, I guess I could only follow your order…” Ding Hao hesitated for a moment and then nodded. He walked to the table with Qin Menglan and sat down opposite her.

After a few drinks with Qin Menglan, Ding Hao heard her say, “Brother Ding Hao, um, by the way… you don’t mind me calling you that, do you?”

Seeing Ding Hao shaking his head with a smile, Qin Menglan continued, “I think you and Patriarch Xing must be very strange about why I agreed to the alliance earlier…”

Ding Hao knew what she meant and nodded.

Qin Menglan sighed. With a trace of helplessness on her face, she said bluntly, “In fact, if it were in the past, we could not have allied with them although Patriarch Xing had helped our Charm Tribe. But now…”

Qin Menglan seemed to be upset about something. She drank a few gla.s.ses of wine in succession until her face was slightly red. She looked particularly beautiful. Then, she said again, “Although the leaders of our Charm Tribe are all women, I believe that we are not inferior to you men in terms of martial arts and national affairs. Therefore, although there have been some external troubles in the Charm Region all the time, there has been no internal strife. We have been living a very peaceful life, until one day…”

Ding Hao quietly listened to Qin Menglan’s words and did not interrupt her.

During the process, listening to what Qin Menglan said, Ding Hao could not help but frown. At the same time, through what the Empress of the Charm Tribe said, Ding Hao finally understood why she agreed to the alliance proposed by Xing Mo.

It turned out that a pool of spring water suddenly appeared in the vast forest of the Charm Region, and this spring water was the beginning of the internal trouble in the Charm Region. It was also the important reason why the Empress agreed to Xing Mo’s proposal of the alliance.

According to Qin Menglan, the spring water in this pool was dark, and the water overflowing from it would contaminate the forest little by little. Moreover, if a creature came into contact with the dark spring water, it would lose its intelligence and turn into a dark creature. It would become very bloodthirsty and cruel, without any senses.

At first, Qin Menglan and the other high-level members of the Charm Tribe did not attach much importance to the spring water. They just sent some people to deal with the water, but the people they sent out had never returned, and there was no news from them.

Even so, the high-level officials of the Charm Tribe still didn’t pay much attention to the spring water. They just sent more people to investigate and ask them to find a way to solve the problem. However, just like the ones before, these people didn’t return once they left.

Gradually, as more and more people disappeared, the higher-ups realized the seriousness of the matter and began to deal with it cautiously.

However, it was too late to solve this problem at this moment, because by then, they were surprised to find that this problem had become extremely tricky. It could even threaten the foundation of the entire Charm Tribe. It turned out that the number of tribesmen who had been contaminated by the dark spring water had been so many that it could vaguely threaten the entire Charm Tribe.

This dark force was growing stronger every minute and second, while the Charm Tribe was constantly weakening. Until now, the force of the contaminated creatures had been expanding and could really threaten the entire Charm Tribe.

The high-level officials of the Charm Tribe were racking their brains over this matter. They tried their best to destroy the dark spring and solve this matter.

However, regardless of what sort of method they might be able to think of, they would not be able to take care of the contaminated creatures. Even if they wanted to deal with the source of the problem and get rid of the dark spring, it would still be impossible. The reason for that was they were simply unable to approach that area.

The situation became more and more serious, and the Empress became more and more anxious. But there was nothing she could do about it.

It was not until one day, Qin Menglan learned from some spies what had happened in the Evil Yang Tribe that she vaguely felt the glimmer of hope.

Ding Hao knew what Qin Menglan had learned. It must be what happened between him and Ding Tong, as well as the matter about the Dark Lotuses.

It was also for this reason that she and the higher-ups of the Charm Tribe realized that Ding Hao might have a way to solve their problem, so they had been discussing how to ask Ding Hao for help.

Whether it was a coincidence or fate, the moment they were thinking about it, Xing Mo had already brought Ding Hao to visit the Charm Tribe and put forward the alliance.

“Brother Ding Hao, you have to help our Charm Tribe. As long as you can solve this problem, our tribe will repay you whatever reward you want…” Qin Menglan’s eyes were faintly red. At this moment, she was so pitiful in Ding Hao’s eyes that he couldn’t help but want to hold her in his arms and comfort her.

It could be seen how troubled the Empress had been during this period.
