Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1030 - 1028: Astronomical Compensation [First Update]

Chapter 1030: Chapter 1028: Astronomical Compensation [First Update]

"What exactly do you want before you’re willing to let me go?"

Yun Qianyue’s face darkened as he looked at Xiao Yi, but his words were no longer as domineering and boastful as before, instead, they carried a hint of pleading.

Just listening to the few conversations Xiao Yi let him hear had already stripped Yun Qianyue of any confidence to oppose Xiao Yi.

That memory stone was like a ticking time bomb!

Once the secrets within were leaked...

Not to mention Yun Qianyue’s life being in jeopardy, the whole Changlong Island might be razed to the ground.

It could even spark a life-and-death struggle among the major powers of the endless North Sea.

Right now, he only thought of pacifying Xiao Yi’s wrath, then wait for Sha Tongtian’s arrival, and use Sha Tongtian’s power to kill Xiao Yi and eliminate potential trouble once and for all.

Xiao Yi looked at Yun Qianyue with a cold laugh and said indifferently, "As I said before, it’s easy to invite a deity, but difficult to send one away. However you invited me in, use a thousand times the etiquette to send me out!"

Actually.

With Xiao Yi’s disposition, he could very well just kill Yun Qianyue directly.

But firstly, the Sky Alliance backs Changlong Island, and he was planning to search for the Dragon Emperor Tomb next; at least for now, it would be inconvenient to openly break with the Sky Alliance.

Secondly, Yun Qianyue’s actions led him to speculate there was another person behind the scenes.

Pressuring Yun Qianyue this way was also to force the real culprit to show themselves.

Otherwise.

It would always be a situation where the enemy is hidden and we are exposed.

There would be much more trouble.

Yun Qianyue’s face changed slightly, a thousand times the etiquette to send Xiao Yi out?

Doesn’t that mean kowtowing three times and nine bows then carrying out with a sixteen sedan chair, amidst loud gongs and drums, and firecrackers blasting, celebrating his release from prison?

The previous imprisonment of Xiao Yi in jail was not hidden at all.

If he really follows Xiao Yi’s demand, and sends him out with a thousand times the ceremony, when the time comes, the entire Changlong Island will know, and his reputation as the Vice Island Master of Changlong Island would be utterly ruined, his authority completely lost!

Looking at Yun Qianyue’s alternating gloomy and uncertain face, Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Of course, if you tell me who exactly instructed you to frame and trap me, I could consider relaxing some demands!"

"Hmm?"

Yun Qianyue was startled, vaguely tempted, "Is that really true?"

Xiao Yi nodded.

After hesitating for a moment, a resolute look flashed in Yun Qianyue’s eyes, with a ’better him than me’ attitude, he gritted his teeth and said, "It’s the Giant Whale Alliance’s junior leader Sha Tongtian; he’s the one who wanted us to keep you on Changlong Island. He is on his way here right now, and at the latest, will arrive on Changlong Island by tomorrow..."

"Giant Whale Alliance’s Sha Tongtian?"

Xiao Yi was startled and then showed a look of realization.

Qiu Yiyun said, "It seems that the news of our annihilation of the Money Gang has reached Sha Tongtian’s ears, I didn’t expect Sha Tongtian to act so swiftly!"

Ning Delun showed a look of self-reproach, "Lord Xiao, all of this is my fault..."

"Enough!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand, smiling reassuringly, "Old Ning, since we are companions, naturally, there is no reason for us to stand by and watch Ruoshuang being bullied."

Ning Delun’s face showed gratitude.

Yun Qianyue, seeing the confidence on the three people’s faces, believed that they took his word and then said, "I have already told you the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, can you now hand over the memory stone and leave with me?"

"No rush!"

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "I’ve said you need to send me off with a thousand times the etiquette. However, I can excuse you from those insincere kowtows and bows, you just need to compensate me a thousand-fold for the prime crystals I spent at the Sea God Guild!"

"Hmm?"

Yun Qianyue was taken aback, then quickly calculated in his heart the amount of prime crystals Xiao Yi had spent at the Sea God Guild.

That was a total of a hundred thousand prime crystals!

A thousand-fold?

Wouldn’t that be a billion prime crystals?

"You’re daydreaming!"

Yun Qianyue’s face turned red with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Not to mention ten thousand times, I can’t even afford a hundred times..."

Ever since ancient times.

The source stone veins had been chiefly controlled by the six great sacred lands; while other top forces could find some small veins here and there, the amount of source stones they could gather was extremely limited.

Don’t think that the Sky Alliance claims to be the number one Human Race force in the boundless North Sea.

Changlong Island is even the wealthiest island under the Sky Alliance’s command, but flipping their entire treasury upside down would at most yield ten million source stones. How could Xiao Yi possibly agree to a compensation of ten thousand times, as he demanded?

Moreover...

Even if he agreed, Yun Wanli would never allow it!

Xiao Yi leaned against the iron railing, weighing the memory stone in his hand: "I’ve already made my conditions. Whether you agree or not is up to you to decide. I’m not in a hurry; when Sha Tongtian arrives, I’ll just hand over the memory stone to him, he would probably be quite interested, right?"

"You..."

Yun Qianyue’s face stiffened, too angry to speak.

Xiao Yi became increasingly confident and unyielding, pushing her to lose her sense of proportion. Seeing that Sha Tongtian would soon arrive, if they couldn’t settle this matter properly and the memory stone ended up in Sha Tongtian’s hands, it would certainly cause a huge uproar.

Yun Qianyue pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Ten thousand times is absolutely impossible. At most, I can agree to compensate you ten times the amount."

"Ten times compensation? Are you trying to pawn off a beggar?" Qiu Yiyun said.

"I..."

Yun Qianyue opened her mouth and wished she could tear Qiu Yiyun’s mouth apart!

Big brother!

Ten times compensation is already a million source stones!

Have you ever seen anyone using a million source stones to pawn off a beggar?

If there is...

I’d rather go begging myself!

Yun Qianyue said with a dark face: "This is the biggest concession I can make, don’t push people too far. If you push me to the edge, we’ll just break the net in a dead fish’s struggle..."

"A dead fish’s struggle? Anytime, you’re welcome!" Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders.

Qiu Yiyun pointed up a middle finger towards her: "Just afraid you won’t come!"

Ning Delun just laughed hehehe.

"..."

The attitude of these two guys, like chunks of rolling meat, was infuriating Yun Qianyue to the point that she could only say in a deep voice, "You guys wait here; I’ll go and consult with the vice president!"

A moment later,

Yun Qianyue returned to the prison and looked at Xiao Yi and the other two with a cold gaze, her face as black as charcoal: "The vice president agrees to give you at most twenty times the compensation, that’s the limit. Additionally, you must swear by the Heart Demon that you absolutely will not reveal any secrets obtained within the prison, and you must destroy the memory stone right in front of me!"

"Lord Xiao, what do you think?" Qiu Yiyun asked.

Ning Delun said in a deep voice, "Twenty times, it’s about the limit!"

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Fine, twenty times compensation. Source stones in one hand, memory stone in the other!"

"Hold on!"

Yun Qianyue’s face darkened, and after waiting for roughly half an hour, a grim-faced Yun Wanli personally descended to the scene.

His eyes, squeezed into slits by fatty flesh, exuded a blade-sharp light as he looked at Xiao Yi standing in the gloomy prison: "I never expected, Yun Wanli, who hunts every day, to be pecked in the eye by a goose. I admit defeat in today’s matters, but mountains and rivers can change—hope the three of you take care, and not fall into my hands!"

Only then did Xiao Yi walk out of the dark prison and take over the storage ring from his hands, verifying the two million source stones inside, and only then did he smile satisfactorily.

He handed the memory stone over to Yun Wanli.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Before you trouble me next time, I advise you to prepare enough compensation first!"

"Don’t worry, next time I’ll choose a good burial site for you first!" Yun Wanli said coldly.

Xiao Yi grinned and said, "I’m afraid this little North Sea doesn’t have a place worthy of burying Xiao Yi!"

"Hmm? Wait...what did you say your name was?"

Yun Wanli was taken aback, suddenly turning his head to look at Xiao Yi, his pupils dilating, showing a look of shock and astonishment, "You...you are Xiao Yi?"
