"I came to make a deal with you," Huo Fenghuang said.
"Oh, I'm listening."
"I want your source blood."
Immediately, a terrifying killing intent emanated from Ao Tianyi's body. All dragons race are highly particular about their source blood because of how precious any dragon bloodline is. However, he quickly calmed down.
"Instinctive reaction," Ao Tianyi explained casually. "You do know how precious true dragon bloodline is. So, what do you want to exchange?"
"You can name your price."
"You can be my woman," said Ao Tianyi with a lascivious smile.
"If you don't want to exchange, I can live."
"What's with the reaction? It would be your honor to become my woman."
"Honor?" replied Huo Fenghuang with a sneer. "I've read about how arrogant you Innate Lifeforms are, but I did not think it was even worse than the scriptures described."
"Innate Lifeforms? You dare compare my noble bloodline with these lowly things?"
"Is there a difference? In the end, the world is ruled by acquired lives. No matter how prideful you are or how much benefit your bloodline gives you, it does not change the fact that acquired lives rule this world.
"I can guarantee many of my ancestors have hunted your kind in the upper dimension."
Ao Tianyi's eyes turned red as he knew she was correct. This truth has been the bane of all races bred by Heaven and Earth. It did not matter they were the first creatures in existence, and it did not matter they were born noble and more powerful–they were no longer the ruler of the world.
Ao Tianyi wanted nothing but to pounce on the person before him. But he remembered where he was and his father's mission. So, he took a deep breath to calm down.
Meanwhile, Huo Fenghuang secretly sighed in relief; she needed to be assertive in other for the negotiation to be relatively fair. She remembered the argument Wang Wei used in the evening and theorized their Ancient Clan still had some backing in the upper dimension in the form of the Heaven Opening Emperor, the Wang Clan's ancestor.
And by Ao Tianyi's restraint, her theory was correct; she had made the correct tactic for this negotiation.
"I hope you take this transaction seriously. Tell me if you don't want to trade so I don't waste my time."
"Fine," responded Ao Tianyi, calming down to ponder whether he would make the deal. A few minutes later, he said:
"I agree, but here are my terms. First, I want all the information you have on the trial's participants and the Heaven Chosens of the Myriad Emperor World. I want the tiniest detail–even something as little as their favorite food."
Huo Fenghuang frowned slightly, but she eventually nodded.
"The second thing I want is a promise."
"What promise? I won't agree to anything if you don't specify," she added.
Ao Tianyi did not immediately answer but took out a mirror, instantly alerting Huo Fenghuang and making her on guard.
"No need to be worried. I just don't want anyone or anything to listen to our conversation."
Then, he activated the mirror to block the room and prevent outside forces from spying. Huo Fenghuang remained on guard during the entire process, ready to call upon her Dao Protector at any moment.
"If you can prove the Dao, I want you to be an inactive Emperor," Ao Tianyi said casually.
"What do you mean?"
"In simple terms, I want you to not accomplish anything as an Emperor. You can preach the Dao to repay karma, but there is no need to do anything more for the world.
"You can say in the Lower Dimension for as long as possible before ascending. And during this time, all you have to do is ensure nothing happens in the Myriad Emperor World."
"I can't do that," she replied immediately.
"Why? I think it's a fair deal."
"I'm carrying the hope of my clan to revive them to the glorious time. Your conditions go against my goal for cultivation."
"Then there is no deal."
"Fine by me," replied Huo Fenghuang.
"Do you think you can easily leave after coming to my home?" Ao Tianyi stood up, fully ready for a confrontation.
"And if you think I came here without being prepared, you're a bigger fool than you appeared during today's introduction."
Ao Tianyi clenched his hand as he stared at her. But, after seeing her confidence and thinking about his father's words, he decided to be cautious about the success of this mission. So, he let her leave.
After exiting the mansion, Huo Fenghuang looked back.
