Peerless Tang Sect: Bind to God King Tang San at the beginning

Chapter 136 Xu Jiujiu's Invitation (Two in One)

The woman bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Master Deng, my name is Xiangling, and I am a maidservant to Princess Jiujiu. The princess has heard about your story and is very impressed by you. She has specially sent me here to invite you to dinner at the princess's residence tonight. I hope you will do me the honor."

Listening to Xiangling's words, Deng Mu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xu Jiujiu to invite him to dinner.

He had never had any contact with Xu Jiujiu, and he couldn't understand why Xu Jiujiu invited him to dinner.

Deng Mu thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "In that case, please go back and tell the princess that I will be there on time."

Xiangling showed a look of delight, bowed again and left quickly.

Seeing Xiangling leave, Deng Mu returned to his room.

"Sister Xue, what do you think the other party's purpose is?"

"It's likely they're trying to coerce you, maybe even using the honey trap to seduce you."

Listening to Deng Mu's question, Xue Di thought for a moment and answered Deng Mu's question jokingly.

She felt that this was quite normal. Deng Mu was so strong that she could either win him over to become her own man, or become a partner, or find a way to get rid of this opponent.

Deng Mu listened to Xue Di's words and said with a smile: "The princess's beauty trap is definitely useless. If it is Sister Xue's beauty trap, I will definitely fall for it."

Xue Di snorted lightly and said angrily, "You are so sweet-talking and can make me happy. But seriously, you have to be careful. After all, she is the princess of the Xingluo Empire, and her invitation may not be that simple."

Deng Mu nodded to indicate that he understood and thought the problem was not serious.

As night fell, Deng Mu made some preparations and then headed for the princess's mansion.

The princess's mansion was brightly lit and heavily guarded. After his name was announced, he was led through the courtyard to an elegant hall.

She had been waiting there for a long time. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a graceful demeanor. When she saw Deng Mu coming, she smiled and said, "I have heard of your great name for a long time. Today I finally get to meet you. Please take a seat."

Deng Mu bowed and sat down after Xu Jiujiu's gesture.

I felt that there must be something going on because of Xu Jiujiu's dress.

The table was filled with delicious food. Xu Jiujiu spoke first, "Master Deng, after witnessing your performance in the competition at this banquet, I'm deeply impressed by your strength."

She had lived for so long, but this was the first time she had seen someone as talented as Deng Mu, who was also so powerful.

Her brother asked her to contact Deng Mu and, if possible, to win him over. She thought it was possible, so she invited Deng Mu to her princess residence.

Deng Mu replied, "You're too kind. I'm just a little more talented than others."

Xu Jiujiu shook his head gently, looking at Deng Mu intently, and said, "Young Master Deng, don't be too modest. There are many geniuses in this world, but it's rare to find someone as accomplished as you at such a young age."

She couldn't help but envy Deng Mu's talent, and she wondered if she had Deng Mu's talent.

Being able to reach level 13 at the age of , this talent is simply unprecedented.

Deng Mu smiled and said calmly, "Princess, you are too kind. I am just lucky and have had some opportunities. Besides, there are many outstanding students in Shrek Academy. I am just one of them. I dare not be arrogant."

"Mr. Deng, if you can join the Xingluo Empire after graduation, with your talent and gifts, you will surely occupy an important position in the empire. And as the princess of the empire, I am also willing to work hand in hand with you to create a brilliant future for Xingluo." Xu Jiujiu's eyes were full of affection, and her words were full of hints.

Deng Mu put down the wine glass in his hand and responded with a smile: "Princess, I am very grateful for your kindness. However, I don't have any thoughts on this matter for the time being."

Just like Xue Di said, the other party really wanted to seduce him with the beauty trap.

But there are a lot of people around him, it doesn't matter whether Jiujiu is there or not, there is no need to work for Xingluo just for one person.

Seeing Deng Mu remained unmoved, Xu Jiujiu bit his lip slightly and continued, "Master Deng, I know you are determined at this moment, but you should also understand that the situation on the Douluo Continent is unpredictable. The Xingluo Empire plays a vital role on this continent. Cooperating with us is an opportunity that many people would love to have. Moreover, I am not just making empty promises. As long as you nod, the empire's precious resources will be open to you."

In the future, the Xingluo Empire will definitely go to war with the Sun and Moon. If a genius like Deng Mu joins, it will definitely be a great help.

If a war breaks out in the future, maybe Deng Mu’s friends will come to help.

Deng Mu frowned slightly, his mind already understanding what had been going on for a long time, but he remained calm and said, "Princess, I've heard a little bit about the situation you're describing, but I want to develop the Tang Sect after graduation, and I don't want to get involved in the affairs of other factions for the time being."

Listening to Deng Mu's words, Xu Jiujiu looked at Deng Mu with some surprise. She was naturally aware of the affairs of the Tang Clan.

It was a sect founded by the Sea God Tang San, but over time, the Tang Sect gradually declined and has now fallen into decline.

Many people think that Tang San only exists in legends, but she knows in her heart that Tang San really exists. It is said that after Tang San became a god, he left Douluo Continent, but she is not sure where he went.

But she was sure of one thing, Tang San and the others would definitely not be able to come back, otherwise why would the Tang Sect decline and the Xingluo Empire change its owner.

Xu Jiujiu coughed lightly and said slowly, "Master Deng, the Tang Sect's past was indeed glorious, but now it has declined. It is not easy to restore its former glory. Even if you are determined to develop it, the road ahead is full of difficulties and obstacles. Without strong support, it will be difficult to achieve your goal. The Xingluo Empire has a profound foundation. With our support, there may be a glimmer of hope for the Tang Sect's revival."

Since Deng Mu wanted to develop the Tang Sect, she invited Deng Mu to help the Tang Sect develop.

If Deng Mu agreed, a new Tang Sect would be established near Xingluo City, and then Deng Mu could be forcibly bound to it.

Deng Mu will definitely cooperate with the Xingluo Empire for the Tang Sect.

Listening to Xu Jiujiu's words, Deng Mu naturally knew what Xu Jiujiu was thinking.

She wanted to use the Tang Sect to control me and force me to submit, but how could I let her succeed so easily?

Deng Mu looked at her for a long time and said, "Princess, thank you for your kindness. I don't need help from others for the time being."

Seeing Deng Mu so determined, Xu Jiujiu was annoyed, but his eyes shifted and his face shifted to a friendly and gentle one. He smiled softly and said, "Mr. Deng, since you've made up your mind, I won't force you. I just think it's rare for you to have such insight and ambition at such a young age. I sincerely want to make friends with you. If you ever need help, feel free to come find me. The door of the Xingluo Empire is always open to you." After a brief hesitation, Deng Mu smiled and said, "The princess is so generous, Deng Mu is naturally happy to make friends. It is Deng Mu's blessing to have someone like the princess as a friend."

Seeing Deng Mu agree, Xu Jiujiu was secretly delighted, but he remained calm on the surface. He smiled and said, "Mr. Deng is a man of quick words. From now on, we will be friends. There's no need to be so formal. If you encounter any trouble in Xingluo, just send someone to let me know."

The next step is to slowly build up a good relationship. With her charm, it is not difficult to win over Deng Mu.

She felt that it would be a good thing if she could be with Deng Mu in the future. She admired the strong people very much.

Not to mention someone as young and strong as Deng Mu. She vaguely felt that Deng Mu was very likely to become a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse around the age of 18.

After three rounds of drinks, the dinner came to an end in a seemingly harmonious atmosphere.

After a long time, she stood up and called a maid to bring out an exquisite wooden box. She handed it to Deng Mu with both hands and said with a smile, "Master Deng, I have enjoyed talking with you today. This is a little gift I prepared especially for you. I hope you don't mind it."

Deng Mu took the wooden box with both hands and smiled, saying, "Princess, I am truly grateful for your kindness. How could I despise you?

Xu Jiujiu's eyes moved as he said softly, "We are friends now. I am older than you. You call me Sister Jiujiu and I call you Brother Mu."

Deng Mu was slightly startled, then a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Princess...Since Sister Jiujiu said so, Deng Mu will respectfully obey."

But he knew in his heart that this seemingly simple change of address was a means for Xu Jiujiu to narrow the distance between them.

Seeing Deng Mu agree, Xu Jiujiu smiled even more, his eyes full of anticipation, and said softly, "Brother Mu, open it quickly and take a look. I spent a lot of time selecting this gift, and I believe you will like it."

Deng Mu opened the wooden box as instructed, and saw an exquisitely shaped butterfly jade pendant inside.

The jade pendant has a smooth texture, and the butterfly carved on it is lifelike, with its wings slightly spread, as if it will fly away at any time.

The edge of the jade pendant is inlaid with a circle of tiny gemstones, which sparkle brightly under the light, adding a touch of luxury.

Xu Jiujiu's eyes were filled with tenderness and anticipation, and he whispered, "Brother Mu, this butterfly jade pendant is something I've worn since I was a child. It means a lot to me and is my personal token of love. I'm giving it to you now, hoping you understand my feelings. In the Xingluo Empire, whoever holds this jade pendant is like me in person. No matter what they encounter, they can use it to mobilize certain royal resources and seek help."

Deng Mu's heart trembled, knowing full well the weight behind this jade pendant.

This is not only a valuable gift, but also Xu Jiujiu's attempt to bind him both emotionally and in terms of interests. However, the problem is not that big.

Deng Mu appeared flattered. He carefully picked up the jade pendant, examined it carefully, and said, "Sister Jiujiu, this is too precious. I really don't dare to accept it. This is something that belongs to you, how can I..."

Xu Jiujiu shook his head slightly, gently held Deng Mu's hand, placed the jade pendant in his palm, and said gently, "Brother Mu, please don't refuse it anymore. Now that we have become good friends, I hope to have a deeper friendship with you. This jade pendant has taken on even greater meaning to me now that I give it to you."

After a slight hesitation, Deng Mu put away the jade pendant and thanked Xu Jiujiu again.

I quietly used my creativity to make a gift box, which contained a hairpin.

Deng Mu pretended to take out a gift box from his soul storage device. With a gentle smile on his face, he handed it to Xu Jiujiu with both hands and said, "Sister Jiujiu, you gave me such a precious jade pendant, so I also have a gift for you."

Xu Jiujiu took the gift box with a hint of surprise, opened it gently, and saw the hairpin.

The hairpin is a dreamy lavender color, as if it is a crystal dyed by the sunset, emitting a soft and charming luster.

The head of the hairpin is in the shape of a phoenix with its wings spread out, ready to fly. The phoenix's feathers are inlaid with tiny and sparkling gems, each piece sparkling with lively light, as if infused with the power of life.

The phoenix's eyes are two round rubies, sparkling in the light like burning flames, making the entire hairpin look gorgeous and noble.

Deng Mu introduced with a smile: "Sister Jiujiu, this hairpin is not ordinary. It is made of special materials and has some special effects."

Xu Jiujiu's eyes were full of admiration. She gently picked up the hairpin and inserted it into her bun.

In an instant, the hairpin trembled slightly, and Phoenix's eyes flashed with a soft red light, enveloping Xu Jiujiu.

She felt a warm and pure energy slowly flowing into her body. The fatigue that had accumulated from dealing with various things dissipated instantly, and her soul power became more condensed and ran more smoothly.

"This hairpin is so magical!" Xu Jiujiu exclaimed, looking at Deng Mu with eyes full of curiosity and surprise, "Brother Mu, where did you find such a treasure?"

Because of the hairpin, Xu Jiujiu's favorable impression of Deng Mu increased a lot.

She had never expected that Deng Mu would prepare a gift for her, and she liked this gift very much.

Seeing that Xu Jiujiu liked it, Deng Mu smiled and replied, "This hairpin was made by an old man with special materials. I have kept it until now. I think only someone as noble and beautiful as my sister is worthy of such a unique hairpin."

After hearing this for a long time, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she gently scolded him, "You are the only one who can make me happy, but I really like this hairpin, and I will definitely wear it well in the future."

There are a few women who don’t like to be complimented. If so, then the way you’re photographing them is definitely wrong.

Xu Jiujiu suddenly felt that the gift he gave to Deng Mu was nothing compared to Deng Mu's gift.

Deng Mu looked at the somewhat shy Xu Jiujiu: "Sister Jiujiu, it's getting late. I need to go back to the hotel to rest."

Xu Jiujiu nodded slightly. Although she was reluctant to leave, she didn't want to force him to stay. She said, "Then Mu brother, go back and rest early. If you have time in the future, remember to come and see me."

She wanted to keep Deng Mu and have a good chat with him. It was the first time she had such a good impression of a man of the opposite sex.

She silently made up her mind that she must win Deng Mu over and make him hers. Although she was much older than Deng Mu, this did not prevent her from winning him over. As long as there was love, age was not a problem.

Xu Jiujiu personally sent Deng Mu away from the princess's mansion. Looking at Deng Mu's back, he was thinking about something in his mind.
