Xiao Chen met the old man's cold gaze and smiled slightly.
"..."
The old man stared at Xiao Chen, anger rising in his heart.
If Xiao Chen hadn't been very powerful, he wouldn't have discussed it with Xiao Chen, but directly killed him and got the Jade Buddha back.
It was precisely because he was afraid of Xiao Chen's strength that he discussed with Xiao Chen to let it be used up and return the Jade Buddha.
But this kid is so naive, why should I care about him?
Whoosh!
As a golden light appeared, a strong murderous intention filled the hall.
Xiao Chen held the Xuanyuan knife in one hand and a cigarette in the other: "Have you thought about it?"
"..."
The old man looked at Xuanyuan Dao and his eyes shrank.
After all, he is still the King of Siam, and he still has good eyesight.
He could tell at a glance that this knife was unusual and a magic weapon!
"Okay, I can tell you, but...this is a secret of our Siamese royal family. You have to promise not to spread it."
The old man suppressed his anger and said coldly.
After all, he didn't dare to give it a try.
"Haha, of course, I'm a very particular person."
Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Chen smiled brightly.
"I promise, it won't spread."
"good."
The old man nodded and calmed himself down.
"Now, can you put the knife away?"
"Oh, hehe, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just want you to appreciate our Chinese magic weapon."
Xiao Chen smiled and put away the Xuanyuan knife.
The old man watched the Xuanyuan Knife disappear out of thin air, his eyes flashed, was it a magic weapon for storage?
This kid is full of treasures.
Not only did he have magical weapons, he also had stored magic weapons... In addition, he also gained the power of life.
Thinking of the power of life, the old man felt greedy, but he suppressed it with self-sufficiency.
"congratulations."
Xiao Chen put out his cigarette and suddenly said something else.
"Congratulations to me? Congratulations to me for what?"
The old man frowned, a little confused.
"Congratulations, you made the right decision."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"No choice...do it."
"..."
The old man must be in the wrong state, otherwise he could break his teeth.
"I was serious."
Xiao Chen smiled again.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Master Shanmu. I easily solved the Nawa God... In addition to the Xuanyuan Sword, I also have a trump card, which is aimed at beings like you."
"What trump card?"
The old man was startled.
"Haha, I said the trump card, can I still call it the trump card?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"I have encountered many powerful souls, such as the gods in the island country's shrines, the wolf gods of the werewolf clan, including the souls of the blood king's self-destruction, and the god Nava... without exception, they were all destroyed by me."
Listening to Xiao Chen's words, the old man's originally solid body became more illusive and trembled a few times.
Obviously, he was shocked.
"Don't be afraid, I don't have any ideas for you anymore, otherwise I wouldn't have good relations with the royal family."
When Xiao Chen saw this, his smile became even stronger.
"Actually, when I felt your presence last night, I was really tempted... I swallowed your soul to make myself stronger."
"..."
The old man's expression changed. This kid actually had an idea against him?
"Okay, I won't scare you anymore, let's talk about something serious."
Xiao Chen got up.
Seeing Xiao Chen's actions, the old man subconsciously took a step back.
After retreating, he felt a little embarrassed. Does this... mean that he was afraid?
"Haha, I told you not to be afraid, I just want to have a good discussion with you."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Haha... Okay, um, we can just sit down and discuss it, you don't need to come over."
The old man forced a smile. He didn't have the killing intent and coercion he had just now.
He was afraid that Xiao Chen would get close, so he directly used his trump card to kill him.
Therefore, a little distance can give you a sense of security.
"Oh, okay."
Xiao Chen nodded and sat down again.
"Then let's get started."
"good."
The old man nodded and briefly explained his current state, including why he could sense the outside world.
"Tell me more details..."
Xiao Chen was a little dissatisfied, who was he fooling?
"..."
The old man's hand on the armrest of the chair was obviously very hard, which showed that he was very annoyed.
But he was still annoyed, so he explained it in detail, including his royal family's training methods.
"When the soul is strong enough, can it be released?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"We in China have a saying called 'spiritual consciousness', which is similar to what you are talking about."
"almost."
The old man nodded.
"The power of my soul can cover the scope of the palace..."
"Speaking of which, let me ask you again, are you not allowed to leave the palace? Or is it this house?"
Xiao Chen looked at the old man and asked.
"You must answer."
"I cannot leave the palace."
The old man hesitated and then said it.
"The farther away from here, the weaker my strength... The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is on the edge of the palace, and my strength is greatly reduced, so the monk king will not suspect that I deliberately do nothing."
"So that's it."
Xiao Chen suddenly realized.
"How much better are you than the Monk King?"
"Over the years, the strength of this generation of monk kings has skyrocketed, and now I can hardly suppress him... Therefore, it is beneficial for the royal family to have the Jade Buddha robbed!"
The old man said slowly.
"Although I am still better than him now, I am too limited..."
"Understood."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"In the palace, you are better than him, but you can't leave here..."
"Xiao Chen, I think we can cooperate."
Suddenly, the old man looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"I heard that you don't have a very good impression of Buddhism. This time you helped to connect with the Dark Holy See because of the royal family, not Buddhism."
"Yes, I do have a bad impression of Buddhism, but...how do you want to cooperate? I told you that I will not help the royal family and Buddhism go to fight against the Holy See of Light. This time I plan to watch the excitement."
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette.
"I'm not asking you to attack the Holy See, but to deepen cooperation with the royal family to check and balance Buddhism."
The old man said seriously.
"Now, I alone am no longer enough to scare the monk kings and Buddhist sects. If there were more of you..."
As the old man spoke, his eyes lit up. This was an idea that had just occurred to him, and now he felt more and more feasible.
Xiao Chen is strong enough to intimidate Buddhism.
As long as they are willing to cooperate with the royal family, the royal family will be very stable.
Listening to the old man's words, Xiao Chen understood that this was what he had planned.
"Haha, what are the benefits if I help the royal family scare Buddhism?"
"..."
The old man was obviously a little speechless, why did he always get benefits?
"I'm a very realistic person, and our friendship hasn't reached that level, right? As the saying goes, talking about money hurts feelings, and talking about feelings hurts money... Let's be realistic, and if you tell me the benefits, maybe I'll agree.
"
Xiao Chen said seriously.
"this……"
The old man frowned, seeming to be thinking about something.
Xiao Chen was not in a hurry, smoking a cigarette and thinking about it in his mind.
With the current situation and pressure of Buddhism, it is impossible to do anything to the royal family.
The monks are still counting on the royal family to help them fight against the Holy See of Light!
So, he agreed, and there was nothing he needed to do...at least in the short term, he didn't need to do anything.
But the benefits are real.
This business can be done without any loss.
Now let's see what good this old guy can do.
"The ninth King of Siam has a little daughter who is not much older than you. I think... she is a perfect match for you."
A minute later, the old man said to Xiao Chen.
"What? Cough cough cough..."
Xiao Chen choked on the cigarette. My little daughter? Is she a good match for me?
What the hell is this.
He wants benefits, not women!
"Marriage is the strongest cooperation. She is a princess. If she marries you, you will become a member of the royal family..."
How serious is the old man?
"Wait a minute, you don't think this is a benefit, do you?"
Xiao Chen was speechless.
"I don't lack women."
"She is very pretty."
The old man added.
"It's no use being pretty, I'm not interested."
Xiao Chen was not angry.
"Don't mention the marriage, I hate this thing."
"Okay, then let me think about it...you really don't want to think about it? You become the son-in-law of the royal family, and we join forces. It's a win-win situation."
The old man was a little disappointed.
"I don't care, and this is not a strong alliance. I am equivalent to helping the poor and helping your royal family."
Xiao Chen pouted.
"Poverty alleviation... Then we can give you a lot of money, a lot..."
The old man said hurriedly.
Bang!
A pile of gold bricks appeared in the hall, smashing the ground into pieces.
"Am I short of money?"
Xiao Chen stepped on the stacks of gold bricks and asked.
"..."
The old man looked at the gold bricks in front of him and stopped talking.
At the same time, he was also quite surprised, not because of so many gold bricks, but because the space for storing magic weapons seemed to be very large.
Otherwise, Xiao Chen would not carry so many gold bricks with him.
When Xiao Chen saw that the old man had stopped talking, he felt very happy. He liked the feeling of showing off his wealth... Give money? Who are you looking down on!
"How about a king with a different surname? Not only a king with a different surname, but also the treasure house of the Siamese royal family is open to you... whatever you want, you can take it."
The old man thought about it and spent a lot of money.
"In addition to gold, silver, jewelry and antique collections, there are also many cultivation techniques inside, which are the heritage of the royal family."
"That's pretty much it."
Xiao Chen's eyes brightened slightly.
He doesn't have much interest in someone with the same surname as Wang, but opening up the treasure house seems a bit sincere.
Although he can't plunder them all like he did in the royal treasure room of the island country, it is still a big gain to go in and take a look at the cultivation techniques and so on.
"I just need a promise from you to protect the royal family for a hundred years."
The old man said again.
"What? A hundred years?"
Xiao Chen was a little speechless.
"Isn't this a long time? Are you so sure that I can live to be more than a hundred years old?"
"If you die, our cooperation will naturally be cancelled."
The old man said.
"..."
Xiao Chen was speechless, the old guy didn't know how to chat.
"But I believe that you will live a long life... With your strength, it is very simple to live for more than a hundred years."
The old man said again.
"Unless... you are killed."
"Okay, you were just killed."
Xiao Chen was not angry.
"What you just said was protection? Aren't you just checking and balancing Buddhism?"
"Yes, it's protection."
The old man nodded.
"Actually, our cooperation is more like gambling. I'm betting on you. After all, I can't guarantee whether you can really protect the royal family for a hundred years, or whether you can live for a hundred years... If you disappear in three to five years, then we will lose money.
