Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 260 Was this something you planned in advance?

After listening to Huo Yutong's words for a long time, he couldn't help but start thinking.

She was well aware of the value of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. If she were to buy it, she would definitely purchase a lot of them, but she wanted to save the country some money.

Although I don't know how much I can save, every little bit helps, and the money saved can be used for other things.

Thinking of this, he looked at Deng Mu beside Huo Yutong for a long time.

Since Huo Yutong wouldn't lower the price, they would have to start with Deng Mu.

As the leader of the Tang Clan, Deng Mu's approval would allow the price of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow to be reduced.

As for why it wasn't Deng Mu who negotiated, Xu Jiujiu already had a guess in his heart.

That means Deng Mu wasn't good at this kind of thing, so he handed it over to Huo Yutong, or for some other reason, he let Huo Yutong talk to her.

Xu Jiujiu smiled and came to Deng Mu's side, taking his arm and saying, "Xiao Mu, we're such good friends, could you give me a discount?"

Hearing Xu Jiujiu's words, Deng Mu was speechless. He hadn't expected Xu Jiujiu to have this trick up her sleeve.

However, he wasn't a fool to give up his position just because of a little bit of beauty.

Huo Yutong was speechless at the sight. She thought Xu Jiujiu would try to bargain with her for a while, but she didn't expect her to start with Deng Mu directly.

However, she wasn't worried that Deng Mu would give Xu Jiujiu a discount.

Before coming, Deng Mu discussed with her that she would handle the sales and he would not interfere.

However, Xu Jiujiu's behavior made her somewhat unhappy. Her man was being linked arm-in-arm with another woman, and right in front of her.

Deng Mu smiled and said, "Sister Jiu Jiu, there's nothing I can do about this. I've already handed this matter over to Yu Tong, and I won't interfere."

He was now curious about what Xu Jiujiu would do next.

Should they try to negotiate with Huo Yutong, or continue to target him from his side?

After listening to Deng Mu say this for a long time, she was slightly taken aback, but quickly put on an even more intimate smile.

She gently shook Deng Mu's arm and said, "Little Mu, can you please be lenient with me? We're friends, can't friends give each other a discount?"

Seeing Xu Jiujiu's actions, Huo Yutong felt a pang of jealousy. She couldn't help but cough lightly and stepped forward, saying, "Princess Jiujiu, as you know, the Tang Clan has spent a lot of manpower, resources, and money developing these Zhuge Divine Crossbows. Moreover, the price we offered is already quite reasonable. While ensuring quality, the profit margin is really limited."

After a long pause, he finally released Deng Mu's arm, looked at Huo Yutong, and said earnestly, "Sister Yutong, I know you've had a tough time. But the Star Luo Empire is currently facing immense pressure from the Sun Moon Empire, and we need financial support in all aspects. If the Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannons could be cheaper, we could purchase more, which would be a good thing for the Tang Clan's business, wouldn't it?"

Huo Yutong sighed, "Princess Jiujiu, we really want to lower the price further, but we really can't. If we lower it any further, our Tang Clan will still lose money."

Hearing Huo Yutong's words, Xu Jiujiu felt somewhat unwilling, but since Huo Yutong wouldn't budge, there was nothing she could do.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "I need to test all aspects of this Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon. I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

Although both the advantages and disadvantages have been mentioned, we still need to take a look to understand the situation clearly.

Huo Yutong agreed: "Yes, Princess Jiujiu, you can have someone take this Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon away."

After a long while, he nodded in agreement and ordered his men to take away the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

"Then I'll be going. Xiao Mu, if you need anything, you can come to me."

"Okay, bye-bye."

After seeing him off for a long time, Deng Mu closed the door and turned around to see Huo Yutong smiling at him.

Seeing this, Deng Mu had a bad feeling, sensing that Huo Yutong was in a bad mood.

"Yutong, why are you smiling so brightly?" Deng Mu asked tentatively.

Huo Yutong crossed her arms and looked at Deng Mu with a half-smile, saying slowly, "Oh, Xiao Mu, I didn't expect you to be so charming. Even the princess of the Star Luo Empire is so affectionate towards you, and even linked arms with you in front of me."

Upon hearing this, Deng Mu felt a sense of foreboding and quickly explained, "Yu Tong, don't misunderstand! Jiu Jiu did this on purpose to pressure the Star Luo Empire to lower the price."

As he spoke, he quickly walked to Huo Yutong's side, took her hand, and looked at her with a sincere expression.

Huo Yutong gave a soft snort and turned her head away: "Hmph, I think she's just taking advantage of your soft heart and trying to find a breakthrough through you. If I hadn't stood firm, the Tang Clan's interests might have been harmed."

Deng Mu nodded repeatedly, saying ingratiatingly, "Of course, Yutong, you did a fantastic job today. I have complete confidence in you handling the negotiations. Thanks to you for sticking to our bottom line, otherwise we really don't know how much profit we would have lost in the long run."

Huo Yutong secretly glanced at Deng Mu and saw that he looked sincere, so her expression softened a little.

Seeing that Huo Yutong was ignoring him, Deng Mu took the initiative to hug Huo Yutong and said, "Shall we go out for a walk together today, and rest together tonight?"

Huo Yutong gently pushed him, but didn't actually push him away, and said reproachfully, "Seeing that you are sincere, I will reluctantly agree to go out with you."

The latest novel is first published here!

The two left the hotel together and walked outside.

They had stayed at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for a long time, and the two of them hadn't gone out many times. The only time they went out was to help resolve the Holy Spirit Cult's affairs.

Deng Mu and Huo Yutong strolled around for a while, then returned to the hotel and chatted with everyone about tomorrow's match before everyone went back to their rooms.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Here it comes, here it comes."

Deng Mu, who had just finished showering, opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Nannan standing there.

Jiang Nannan scratched her face with one finger and said, "Xiao Mu, I have something to talk to you about."

Upon hearing this, Deng Mu made way for Jiang Nannan to enter.

After Jiang Nannan went inside, Deng Mu closed the door and turned around to see that Jiang Nannan had taken off her coat and was wearing a lace nightgown.

"Sister, what are you planning to do?"

"Little brother, I'd like to rest with you tonight."

Jiang Nannan was a little embarrassed and said to Deng Mu.

Ever since that incident, she has become somewhat interested in that area, but as the older sister, she felt a little embarrassed.

"Knock knock knock..."

Just as Deng Mu was about to refuse, there was another knock on the door.

Hearing the knock, Deng Mu turned around and opened the door. Standing in the doorway was Huo Yutong.

Upon seeing that it was Huo Yutong, Deng Mu thought to himself, "This is too much of a coincidence, it's like we planned it all along."
