Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 325

[Chapter 325 Daluo Proposes Marriage]

Today’s weather is nice, clear and cloudless, with a breeze blowing on the face. It’s rare for Lin Xiu to go out shopping with the other girls.

In the past six months, in order to prepare for the big competition, everyone has been practicing hard. Now that the big competition has ended, they have all achieved results that exceed expectations, and the tight strings in their hearts have also relaxed.

Ning’er and Wan’er have Lin Xiu to practice, so they don’t have to work very hard. In the next few days, they will just relax and have fun.

Natasha is most interested in shopping. In the past few days in the capital, she has gone out almost every day.

Daxia is full of surprises for her.

There are delicious foods that suit her taste very well, strong liquor that she likes to drink, and perfume that will smell good all day if you spray a few drops on your body. Apply it on your lips to make your lips more moist and tender. Even if you accidentally eat it, it is sweet…

She likes this taste very much.

Lin Xiu also likes the taste of that lip balm.

So he always eats peaches these days. Zhao Lingyin always feels a little strange when she sees Lin Xiu eating peaches, because the lip balm she uses is peach-flavored.

Seeing peaches would remind her of that night.

Although the bet had been fulfilled, she felt even more confused.

While eating peaches, Lin Xiu observed Natasha. After coming to Daxia, she became more and more feminine. She liked perfume, lipstick, beautiful clothes and jewelry. A real woman should like these things, not women…

This also indirectly shows that Shuangshuang’s judgment was correct. Her feelings towards women were different from Lin Xiu’s feelings towards women. In essence, she was still a woman who loved beauty. On

the streets of the royal capital, wherever they went, people greeted them enthusiastically.

“Lord Lin!”

“Lord Lin and his wife are so loving.”

“I hope Lord Lin and his wife will grow old together and have a son soon…”

…

Lin Xiu is now well-known in the royal capital.

Moreover, his identity is more often seen as Lin Xiu, not Zhao Lingjun’s husband.

However, Lin Xiu also knew that this was actually Zhao Lingjun’s concession to him. The increase in fame from being the second on the Tianjiao list is far from comparable to being the first on the Tianjiao list.

After walking with the girls for half an hour, at a certain moment, there was a commotion among the people on the street, and then they all looked up at the sky.

Lin Xiu looked over and saw an ironclad ship flying over the capital and heading towards the palace gate.

On the hull of the ship, there was an eagle flapping its wings and ready to fly, but it was much smaller than the one seen in Daluo. It should be the delegation of Dayu.

Just before Lin Xiu and the others left, another ship made entirely of ice had landed in the capital. It was the delegation of the Daluo Dynasty.

This competition has ended. For the five dynasties, the most urgent thing is to allocate resources for the next three years.

According to the rules, the place for discussion is the country that has obtained the most resources in each competition.

This time, there is no one in the top ten of the Daying and Daluo Tianjiao list, only Dayu and Daluo came.

For the resources of the continent, the rules formulated by the five dynasties are as follows.

The land owned by the countries that have been established before is their own, and the resources on the land also belong to them.

In addition, the North and South Poles, as well as other continents, are under the control of the five dynasties. Every blade of grass, every stone, every piece of loess, all the coal and mineral resources there belong to the five dynasties.

In addition, there are also special cases.

For example, the volcanoes of Fusang and the Thunder City of Java, these places for cultivation, although they are in their country, must also be under the control of the five dynasties, and at most they will be given some other compensation.

And those small countries that nominally can own all the resources on the land, if extremely precious resources are discovered one day, some powerful countries will not abide by the rules.

Lin Xiu was only halfway through shopping when he was found by Zhu Jin, who said that Emperor Xia summoned him to the palace.

When the two passed by the gate of the palace, Lin Xiu saw a figure kneeling there, who looked very familiar.

Soon he recalled that the one kneeling here was the genius from the small country in the competition. His name was Wusa, and he came from a small country called Basha. Because precious mineral veins were discovered in the country, it was secretly invaded by Dayu, Daying, and Dalu. He sought help from the countries during the competition, but was disqualified for disrupting the competition and finally ranked 20th in the competition.

If his qualification had not been disqualified, he would have ranked higher.

Lin Xiu and Zhu Jin walked past him. Lin Xiu asked, “What’s going on?”

Zhu Jin said, “A small country in the west had a turmoil in the country and wanted to seek help from Daxia, but was rejected by the court.” Zhu Jin

looked back and said lightly, “He wanted to get help from Daxia by representing Daxia in the competition. If it were other small countries, there might be a chance for this matter to turn around, but the turmoil in Basha was related to the other three dynasties. Even if he had the strength of the top ten on the Tianjiao list, it would be useless.”

When Lin Xiu came to the imperial study, several Daxia officials were arguing with the envoys of Dayu and Daluo.

The allocation of resources is not simply based on the number of people.

For example, Daluo has many geniuses who have awakened the ice art, and they hope to have more places to practice in the polar regions. For this reason, they can give up some other resources.

Daxia and Dayu have more fire attributes, and they hope to have more places to practice in Fusang Volcano.

Lin Xiu actually saw a familiar figure in Dayu’s delegation.

The fourth prince Otto.

The fourth prince also saw Lin Xiu and exchanged glances with him, but they did not have much communication.

The envoys of the three countries were arguing quietly about the allocation of resources. At this time, another envoy from Dayu stood up, bowed to Emperor Xia, and said, “Your Majesty, we have another request this time.”

The envoy spoke the Daxia language. The envoys of the five countries must be proficient in a foreign language, and even more, they must be proficient in four common languages.

Dayu and Daying have a deep historical origin and use the same language.

Emperor Xia sat on the top and said lightly, “Please speak, envoy.”

The Dayu envoy said, “Your Majesty, we like to collect meteorites from outer space. I heard that Daxia often has meteorite rains. I specially request a few meteorites from Daxia. I hope your country will agree.”

Lin Xiu’s heart moved slightly. It turned out that they were planning to get meteorites. I am afraid that discussing resource allocation is just a side issue. This is their real purpose of coming to Daxia.

Before Emperor Xia spoke, the envoy of Dayu said, “To show our sincerity, your Majesty, I will give you a few beauties.”

Emperor Xia was stunned: “Beauties?”

The envoy of Dayu smiled and said, “They are waiting outside.”

Emperor Xia was curious and said, “Call them in.”

Soon, four women walked in from outside the palace.

Lin Xiu only took a glance and knew that Emperor Xia’s preferences had been thoroughly studied by Dayu.

In addition to their beauty, none of these four women was under 30 years old.

Moreover, their figures were also very exaggerated. When they walked, their breasts and hips swayed and trembled constantly. Most people could not resist such temptation and completely satisfied Emperor Xia’s hobbies.

He keenly noticed that several officials of Dayu could not help swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva.

Looking at the four Dayu beauties, Emperor Xia remained calm and said lightly, “Beauties are not important. I am not a lustful person. They are just a few stones. Since Emperor Dayu likes them…”

“Cough!”

At this moment, he suddenly heard a cough beside his ear.

Emperor Xia glanced at Lin Xiu, and his voice stopped abruptly. He said, “Lin Qing, what do you think?”

The Dayou envoy had already shown a happy expression on his face. Judging from the reaction of the Daxia Emperor, Daxia did not seem to know that the meteorites from outer space might contain a big secret. Only four beauties could be used to exchange for those meteorites. They picked up a big bargain this time.

But what he did not expect was that at the critical moment, Emperor Xia changed the subject, which made him stunned.

Lin Xiu stood up, coughed lightly, and said, “My second ability was obtained from the meteorites. I think that the meteorites from outer space may contain some mysterious power. How can I exchange them for others because of four beauties?”

The hearts of several Dayou envoys sank. The matter that had already been decided, the number one on the Tianjiao list intervened, and things might become complicated.

After Lin Xiu finished speaking, he changed the subject and said, “However, Daxia is a country of etiquette. It is not a gentleman’s behavior to take away what others love. Since His Majesty Emperor Dayu likes to collect meteorites, why not exchange them with something of equal value…”

Seeing that there was still a chance for things to turn around, the Dayu envoy immediately asked, “What is it?”

Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, “I heard that Dayu has a mineral vein in Basha…”

The Dayu envoy smiled unnaturally and said, “What does the mineral vein in Basha have to do with me, Dayu?”

Lin Xiu just smiled and said, “Since Dayu has no sincerity, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore.”

The Dayu envoy did not expect Lin Xiu to be so decisive, but this matter was not something he could decide. He glanced to the side quietly, and an old man standing in front of the fourth prince nodded slightly.

The Dayu envoy took a deep breath and said, “The mineral vein in Basha can be given to you, but we want all the meteorites in Daxia.”

Lin Xiu glanced at Emperor Xia, and Emperor Xia gave him a look, meaning that he would decide for himself.

Lin Xiu looked at the Dayou envoy and said, “Deal.”

Lin Xiu knew in his heart that because of the huge benefits from the meteorites, Dayou had set his sights on the meteorites of Daxia. This was like gambling on stones. If they could get something good from the meteorites, they would naturally make a lot of money, otherwise they would lose money.

This time, Dayou was gambling.

But they made a wrong bet.

The meteorites of Daxia Sitianjian were just ordinary meteorites.

The Dayou envoy breathed a sigh of relief and smiled without saying anything.

The order of the Senate was to bring back the meteorites of Daxia at all costs.

Not only that, Dayou had sent people to Daluo, Daying, Dalu, and other small countries to collect all the meteorites. Only the meteorites of Daluo and Daxia needed to be exchanged in this way. The meteorites of other countries had to be obediently offered, whether they were willing or not.

As long as they got one more of that kind of thing, the price they paid in Daxia could be earned back tenfold or a hundredfold.

After the Dayou envoy made this strange request, at some point, another Daluo envoy came out and said, “Your Majesty, the Emperor of Daxia, Daluo also has a request.”

The Emperor said, “Daxia and Daluo are allies, so the envoy can speak freely.”

The Daluo envoy bowed and said, “We are ordered by the Emperor to ask for the hand of Princess Minghe of your country on behalf of our eldest prince…”
