Chapitre 317: Revenge
Éditeur: EndlessFantasy Translation
The woman in the pink dress sighed. She looked at Gu Xijiu and asked, "Miss, can you let her go if I request it?"
Gu Xijiu raised her eyebrow, "Who are you?"
"We are the disciples of the Tianwen clan. My master is Count Xiaoyao. I am his first disciple Le Jiajun. She is my sister Tan Xiaoge." The woman in pink introduced all of them.
Tan Xiaoge suddenly felt proud. They were the disciples of the elders in the Tianwen clan and were quite famous in this continent. Especially Le Jiajun, as she was a pharmacist and was very good at healing. She was ranked second just after Gu Xixi.
Tan Xiaoge thought that she would be released after their prestigious identities were revealed. She even expected Gu Xijiu to apologize to them. However, Gu Xijiu did not buy it, "I don’t know all of you. If you want to save her, please leave. I want to clear the field!"
She reacted differently from what Tan Xiaoge had thought. Everyone held their breath and felt nervous. It was probably the first time the woman in pink got embarrassed in public. She helplessly looked at the gentleman in silk clothing, "Prince Long…"
She expected him to come forward and command the bounty hunters to give Gu Xijiu a lesson. Prince Long stared at Gu Xijiu and said, "I am Count Xiaoyao, my name is Long Moyan. May I know your name?"
Gu Xijiu shook her head, "I just want to clear the field and do not need to tell you my name!" Her voice was cold and soft but firm, "I have limited patience so I'll count to three and if you still do not want to leave, I will kill her!"
It was probably the first time Tan Xiaoge got embarrassed too. She was furious and stared at the several bounty hunters, "Are you all blind? Why don’t you all give her a lesson? I am sure we can beat her down with so many of us here!"
The bounty hunters were the most rebellious ones, and they admired strong people. They did not like to gang fight, especially with a little girl!
Shan Qing spoke coldly, "We will start to fight with her only if you are killed."
Tan Xiaoge remained silent.
Prince Long looked at the Ice Shura Flowers at the cliff not far away. There were around 30 to 40 plants on the cliff. Usually, these plants grew sporadically, and it was rare to see such a quantity at one place.
He smiled and tried to negotiate with Gu Xijiu, "Miss, it was our fault just now. I apologize to you." Then, he took up his sleeve and bowed.
Gu Xijiu raised her eyebrow and looked at him but did not speak.
Prince Long continued, "I have observed that there are more than 30 plants on the cliff. Normally, it requires only two plants to make medicine. I think you may not need to use so many of them, right?"
Gu Xijiu smiled and said only three words, "Hard to tell."
In fact, she did not need that much, and it could be split into two portions for both parties. However, it was them who wanted to clear the field just now, and they were too rude to her.
Prince Long choked and felt that this girl was asking for too much. However, she could act like this because of her powers. He also understood that it was Tan Xiaoge who treated her rudely earlier. Her actions were probably revenge-seeking.
He paused for a moment, then offered some terms to Gu Xijiu, "Miss, there is something strange about this plant. It needs to be refined immediately once it is plucked or else it will lose its effectiveness. There are beasts guarding them, and once you start plucking them, they will attack you. Therefore, even if you can pluck the plants by yourself, you will miss the best timing to refine them. Why not you cooperate with us? We can split the plants - 30 percent and 70 percent. You will get 70 percent, and we will get 30 percent. Besides this, you have us to guard beside you when you refine the medicine. What do you think about this proposal?"
Chapitre 318: I Will Not Sacrifice My Companion

If it were genuine, then it would be considered a generous offer.
The flowers were located deep inside the icing area, and although Gu Xijiu could use her teleportation powers to escape, it required quite a long time to get to safety and the effectiveness of the flowers would reduce by half by then.
"How do I know if I can trust you?" Gu Xijiu still did not trust them.
Prince Long pondered for a moment and then took out a jade with a dragon pattern on it and handed it to Gu Xijiu, "Miss, this is something that can represent my identity. It is priceless and cannot be damaged. Once it is damaged I will lose my identity as a prince. I'll pass it to you and only ask you to return it to me after we finish the job."
"Master, it is an authentic dragon-patterned jade. It is a prized possession that has been passed from generation to generation in the Long family. Whoever owns this jade would be the prince of Count Long…" The Firmament Stone started to provide numerous buts and pieces of information to Gu Xijiu, "If this person has second thoughts, you can break this jade immediately, and he will lose his identity as a prince. It seems like he sincerely wants to cooperate with you. I think you can work with him since we really do not need that many Ice Shura Flowers…"
Gu Xijiu patted it to tell it that she had a plan. Then, she proposed, "We can cooperate, but this girl has to leave us."
She used her sword to point at Tan Xiaoge who was still kneeling down on the floor. Her face was very pale and as she was frightened. She worriedly looked at Prince Long because she was afraid that he would sacrifice her.
Prince Long was stunned. He said, "This lady came together with us. This is a very dangerous place. If we leave her alone, I am afraid that she would not be able to return safely. We came here together and we have to go back together. I will never sacrifice my companions. If you do not want to let her go, I have to give up this place and find my flowers somewhere else."
Gu Xijiu was surprised. She never expected that Prince Long had such a sense of obligation. She finally took a step back and said lightly, "I never thought that you are such a trustworthy person. I always respect righteous people. Since you are this kind of person, I can give in and let Tan Xiaoge stay with us. However, I request her to sincerely apologize to me and give me her alchemy furnace as a gift."
It was not hard to meet these conditions. Prince Long looked at Tan Xiaoge directly and ordered her with his eyes. Although Tan Xiaoge was a bit reluctant, she knew that this was the only condition to stay alive. If she did not comply, she was afraid that Prince Long would leave her alone. Therefore, she apologized to Gu Xijiu and also handed her alchemy furnace to her as requested.
Her medicine refinery technique was still at early levels so her alchemy furnace was relatively conventional. Hence, she was not too distressed about it.
Gu Xijiu threw the jade back to Prince Long, "You don’t have to pawn it to me. I believe you." Someone who would never abandon their most ordinary companion must not be a bad person.
Prince Long was surprised. He drew his sleeve and bowed, "Thank You!"
Since all the conditions had been met, they started to assign a task to everyone. According to Prince Long, he would be the one who plucked the plants while the five bounty hunters would be responsible for clearing the beasts. Gu Xijiu and the two other women would be waiting at the side.
This was actually the initial plan that Prince Long had all along except that now Gu Xijiu was included. Once Prince Long finished assigning the task, he looked at Gu Xijiu and gently asked, "Are you satisfied with my assignment?"
