Chapter 114.1 Ahhhh I’m so embarrassed (1)

While the entire Sheng Ya was caught up in a romantic frenzy, a pale finger clicked open Sheng Ya star network’s website, his cold gaze stopping on the picture of two people kissing.

A strange chuckle slipped out of his lips, carrying a sinister chill, “Tsk, this young boy’s skull….is quite a rare beauty….”

“Duke Laixite, this boy is the SSS Level Spell Card Master. Would he affect our operations?” A middle-aged man wearing a dark green military uniform bowed beside him and respectfully asked.

“Of course he would.” Laixite’s cold eyes swept the middle-aged man’s face, an indiscernible smile hanging from the corner of his lips.

“However, though this youth is a wonder, he’s too inexperienced. Lu Te, how many SSS advanced level spell cards do you think….this youth can make in a month after advancing into SSS Class?”

“This…” Lu Te hesitated for a moment before replying, “If he really had talent, it’s probably no more than 50 cards.”

“Nono….” Laixite chuckled as he shook his head, “You’re too conservative. Planet Ke Te’s prodigious SSS Level Spell Card Master Ah Erte can make 3 SSS Level advanced spell cards in one day. This youth should be no different to him.”

“But Grandmaster Ah Erte has already been an SSS Level Spell Card Master for 50 years. This kid has only been one for a month. How could this kid be compared to Grandmaster Ah Erte.”

“Finished the talks with Ke Te Star Region?”

“Yes. Duke Mengge of Ke Te Star Region promised that they would supply us with a thousand SSS advanced level spell cards, three thousand SSS Level intermediate spell cards and five thousand basic SSS Level basic spell cards.

“Tsk…” Laixite narrowed his eyes, a dark light glinting in his eyes, “Mengge is curiously magnanimous this time round, did he have any additional conditions?”

“Yes, you are correct. They have a request this time.”

“What is it? Speak.”

“They requested…” Ku Luode was a little apprehensive and lowered his eyes, “They requested that after we take down Sheng Ya, The military authority of Planet He La , which is beside Sheng Ya, be given to them. Aside from this, they want to receive ten million tons of red soil every year.”

“Heh….”

Laixite’s lips split open and he raised an eyebrow, not appearing the least bit angry. Rather, he looked as if he had just heard an amusing joke.

Ku Luode wiped his bout of sweat on the inside but didn’t reveal this on the surface, maintaining a serious tone, “Duke Laixite, Duke Mengge also mentioned that this request is merely an addition. Even if we don’t agree to it, he would still give us these spell cards.”

“Tsk. Mengge sure has a glib-tongue.” Laixie stood up and walked towards the window. He held up an exquisite cup made up of bone and stroked it. Looking far away with a shallow smile, he said. “Whether we agree or not, the spell card types and numbers would probably be different.”

“Then…”

“Let him know we accept his conditions.” Laixite hooked his lips up, a cold look in his eyes, “Has he sent the contract?”

“Yes.”

“Send it to me. I’ll sign it.”

“…..Yes sir.” Ku Luode didn’t ask whether the contract needed his Majesty’s cursory view, he only knew that Weng Na Star Region’s emperor was so weak he was no different to a puppet. As long as Duke Laixite wanted to change the person sitting on the throne, it would only take a matter of minutes.

Laixite signed the contract and took out a bottle of wine from the side cabinet. He then took out another cup made of bone the size of a fist of an adult man’s hand from the glass case beside the wine cellar and asked Ku Luode with a smile, “Want a glass?”

Ku Luode sent the contract to the other side and looked up to see Laixite taking out another cup made from a baby’s skull. He calmly lowered his eyes and responded, “Thank you for the gesture, Duke Laixite but I get drunk with just a sip of wine.”

“Tsk, Ku Luode, that’s no good….”

Dark red liquid trickled into the cup, drawing swaying red ripples, the contrast making the cup appear whiter.

“Truly beautiful.” A look of infatuation crossed Laixite’s eyes, his fingers stroking the edge of the cup. After sipping a mouth of alcohol, he smiled, “Back then, in order to find an oval skull, I found so many babies and used a lot of effort. Fortunately, Luo Fan that brat is clever, coming up with an extensive infant rearing policy and even gathering a substantial amount of funding…”

Though he had seen Laixite wear this expression several times, Ku Luode was still unable to help himself from feeling a chill run down his spine. The policy he mentioned was initially for the benefit of infertile couples who couldn’t afford to pay hospital fees to cultivate their fetuses so they cultivated them for free, but in reality…many of the beautiful babies’ skulls that Laixite took fancy too, had the skin peeled off and grinded meticulously, becoming a part of Laixite’s beautiful collection.

However, these actions of Laixite hadn’t come to light. Moreover, there were a lot of couples who were able to get children from such a policy, so the ‘kind and virtuous’ Laixite was logically able to garner a lot of Weng Na citizens’ love and support.

“Duke Laixite….” Ku Luode tried to shift the subject, “Will there be any hidden dangers from signing the contract just like this?”

“Hidden dangers?” Laixite’s lips hooked up to form a beautiful smile, “Do you think I’ll really give Planet He La’s military authority to them?”

Before Ku Luode could even respond, Laixite chuckled once again. “Of course I won’t. And in truth, Ke Te Star Region also knows I won’t.”

“That….”

“They only need an appropriate reason to declare war and this contract would give them that reason.” Laixite downed the contents of the cup and narrowed his eyes, “They’re the same as us. We won’t be satisfied with just Sheng Ya and they won’t be satisfied with just attacking Pu Ya and Luo le, after all….”

A cold light flashed across Laixite’s eyes as he suddenly went quiet, turning to look at the screen that was still playing the broadcast.

“Tsk…this Bai Rong is very attractive….”

Ku Luode raised his head for a look and though it wasn’t his first time seeing him, he still had his breath taken away for a moment.

“This Bai Rong’s reputation had already spread across the members of the Star Region alliance.”

“After all, such an unprecedented genius as well as beautifully skeleton structured beauty…” Laixite stroked the cup in his hand, his lips giving a faint smile as he chuckled coldly, “Looks like my collection…will finally be welcoming a national treasure…”
