Chapter 14 Trading
Upon hearing this, Li Yao shook his head and said, "There's no need, and it's not good to completely eliminate them."
Lena asked, puzzled, "Why?"
"Although your angelic flaming swords cannot penetrate the body of a peak-level beast, isn't there that Great Judgment?"
As the future chief god of the blazing sun, she had some understanding of the angelic civilization, knowing that the angels possessed a strategic-level strike technology capable of punishing god-level units.
Li Yao corrected, "That's called Heavenly Blade Judgment."
Then he patiently explained:
"More than a thousand years ago, Angel Chase used this move to destroy Thorton's body."
"But a god is a god; it can only destroy the material part. Its dark information remained, and was later sealed away by the people of the Styx."
"Now you see, haven't they brought it back to life?"
"So instead of going through the trouble of destroying it, we should think about how to maximize our profits."
At this point, Li Yao paused for a moment, then coaxed, "Little Sun, would you like a god-level subordinate? The kind with super strong combat power, who can also be a status symbol?"
Upon hearing this, Lena's eyes lit up instantly: "You're going to give it to me?!"
Li Yao waved his hands repeatedly: "Hey, hey, you can't say that. It's a transaction, a transaction, you understand?"
"Sell it to me? Would your queen agree to that?" Lena expressed her doubt.
Li Yao said matter-of-factly, "Have you forgotten? It's my spoils now, and I have the right to dispose of it. Besides, I've already reported it, so there's no problem."
Just now, Li Yao reported this matter to Angel Yan through the secret communication, and she told him to handle it himself.
Since his boss has spoken, what is there to worry about? After all, his sister Yan is a capable leader.
Lena hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then name your price."
Upon hearing this, Li Yao immediately adopted a sincere expression, holding up one finger and saying, "As your uncle, I'll take a small loss—just one standard third-generation divine body material! Isn't that a fair price?"
"One serving?!" Lena was genuinely surprised.
Putting aside Soton's combat strength, the materials needed to forge a peak beast body alone amount to more than that, which is simply a huge bargain.
"certainly!"
Li Yao nodded vigorously, then changed the subject, his tone suddenly becoming sincere: "Little Sun, Uncle knows you're not having an easy time in the scorching sun, right?"
"I..." Lena was taken aback.
"No need to explain, Uncle understands." Li Yao sighed.
"In Mello, I'm practically invisible. Everyone can boss you around, everyone treats you like a child, and nothing you do is taken seriously... That feeling is awful."
He even blinked hard, trying to squeeze out some tears.
When Lena heard what he said, her nose actually felt a little sore.
She immediately recalled Pan Zhen's disappointed expression and the outwardly respectful but indifferent demeanor of the old ministers.
Seeing that she was somewhat moved, Li Yao continued to coax her:
"But if you have a capable and obedient underling like Thornton, then it's a completely different story."
"From now on, who will dare to yell at you?! Who will dare to treat you like a child anymore?!"
"If you say east, it will never go west. Then, you will truly be the supreme god of the blazing sun!"
At this moment, Lena's mind had already begun to wander.
From now on, in Lieyang, if anyone dared to disobey, she would wave her little hand and shout, "Soton, have a good talk with him!"
That scene... just thinking about it is awesome!
Let's see who dares to raise their voice at this goddess again!
"A little sun?!"
Seeing that she was distracted, Li Yao quickly called out to her.
"Huh? Oh!"
Lena snapped out of her daze and was so excited she almost agreed on the spot, but at the last moment reason prevailed.
Because she suddenly remembered something very sad.
The authority to allocate resources to Lieyang does not lie with her, but with Pan Zhen.
"I...I'll think about it some more!" she abruptly changed her mind.
Li Yao said with a regretful look, "Alright, but you have to hurry. This crocodile is weak now and easy to handle. Once it recovers or is targeted by other forces, things could get very unpredictable."
"Two days!" Lena gritted her teeth. "I'll give you an answer within two days!"
Li Yao nodded and agreed, "Okay."
He understood that this was not a matter that Xiaotai could decide on her own; she needed to communicate with Pan Zhen first.
"Wait a minute, if Thorton is so valuable, why don't you keep it for yourself?"
Lena suddenly realized, belatedly, that something felt off.
So she questioned, "Old Deng, are you trying to trick me again?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yao exclaimed with heartache, "Alas, Little Sun, why do you have such a bad impression of me! Indeed, prejudice is a mountain!"
Then, he explained to Lena:
"This guy may seem dull-witted, but he's actually cunning by nature. With my strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make him completely submit."
"Besides, we angels often need to carry out missions in various parts of the universe, but this thing can't fly. We'll have to give it wings or something in the future, which is troublesome and resource-intensive."
He raised his hand to stop Lena from asking the question.
"You might ask, why don't I take it back to Tiancheng to deal with it?"
"Sigh, I'm just a nobody. Even if I bring it back, it's only a small contribution, far less valuable than exchanging it for divine body materials."
"Besides, it's not safe for me to take it back to Heaven. Who knows if the people of the Styx would risk everything for a god?"
"As you know, I'm not good at fighting. I was only able to capture Soton this time by luck."
Lena nodded slightly and said, "That seems to make sense."
Indeed, Li Yao is just an ordinary angel. With Karl's methods, it wouldn't be difficult for him to take Thorton away from him without anyone noticing.
Soton was a hot potato in Li Yao's hands.
But who is this goddess?
This goddess is none other than the glorious light of the sun!
It is the Lord God of the Blazing Sun!
This goddess alone is enough to rival the entire River Styx!
What Li Yao was worried about was not a problem for her at all.
The more Lena thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, and many of her doubts disappeared.
"So, Uncle won't cheat you, don't worry."
Immediately, Li Yao bent down, picked up the sniper bullet at his feet, and handed it to Lena.
Lena held it in her hand and examined it for a moment, recognizing it as the weapon that Taotie had used to deal with Soton.
She looked puzzled and asked, "Godslayer Number One? Why are you giving me this?"
Li Yao rubbed his hands together with a smile: "We can wait for the big deal. Let's start with a small one to warm things up."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gestured.
The three Taotie flying machines that had been lying idle in the distance suddenly floated up smoothly and drifted in front of the two of them.
Considering that this was a busy city, Li Yao had already infiltrated their back-end system and seized control of the three aircraft at the start of the battle.
He pointed to these things and said to Lena:
"I want to trade these spoils for one of your energy boosts."
"Don't rush to refuse. Although these things may not be of much value to either of us, don't forget why you came to Earth."
