"You want to hire ?" Yaoyao wasn't angry; she was more surprised by Zhang nglong's bold idea of hiring her as a bodyguard. He really dared to think big!
"Brother Gu, don't talk nonsense!" Yang Sande quickly reminded in a low voice. He suddenly rembered that he forgot to warn Zhang nglong that Yaoyao was also soone ruthless.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Yaoyao is a woman. In this Skyless Realm, there's no distinction between n and won. Without so skills, a woman, especially one with so beauty, simply couldn't survive in this ruthless place.
The two bodyguards beside Yaoyao exuded a faint murderous aura. No one dared to speak to their boss in such a tone, as Yaoyao held a very important status in their hearts.
"No problem," Yaoyao seed unangered by Zhang nglong's words. Instead, she beca more interested in this young man visiting the Skyless Realm for the first ti. Such an interesting young person was indeed rare.
"If you want to hire as a bodyguard, it's not impossible," Yaoyao said with a smile. "I am, after all, in the bodyguard business. If the employer offers a high enough price, I wouldn't mind taking on a job as a bodyguard."
"Why not na a price, Boss Yaoyao?" Zhang nglong asked tentatively.
"Ten billion Divine Crystals, per day!" Yaoyao stated bluntly without beating around the bush, giving a price that could frighten anyone.
It wasn't that no one wanted to hire Yaoyao before. With her by their side, as long as there weren't any Ninth Grade Divine Cultivators from the Skyless Realm, there was almost no need to fear anyone. But they were all scared off by the exorbitant price.
Considering that price, one could even get a very good Saint Grade weapon or several Saint Grade elixirs. If there really were dangers, it might be worth it. But if no danger occurred, the money would have been spent in vain.
No one was willing to spend such a huge sum for potential dangers that might not even arise.
"It's not that expensive," unexpectedly, Zhang nglong didn't show any disagreent with the price. "But I don't have that much money on right now. I'll co to invite you again in a few days. By the way, how much do the bodyguards beside you cost?"
"As you know, under current special circumstances in the Skyless Realm, bodyguard resources are very tight, and the prices are soaring. Their original hiring price is 500 to 600 million Divine Crystals per day, but if it's for external hire, the price would at least double."
"Hiss!" Yang Sande gasped.
"You shouldn't think it's expensive," Yaoyao glanced at Yang Sande. "Both of them currently have a safety completion rate of over 95%, and there aren't many bodyguards of this safety level in the Skyless Realm. Of course, I can't control their personal decisions. Low risk doesn't an no risk!"
As she said this, Yaoyao even examined Zhang nglong again.
"Yaoyao, he's my friend, please don't..." Yang Sande beca a bit anxious. If Yaoyao decided to act against Zhang nglong, there was nothing he could do, virtually pushing Zhang nglong into the fire pit.
"Don't worry, as a businesswoman, I have my reputation to consider, and I never turn against my clients," Yaoyao looked at Zhang nglong intently but saw nothing special about him.
If Zhang nglong was hiding so treasure, she would definitely have taken action without hesitation. However, with nothing to gain, risking her reputation wasn't worthwhile.
"Of course, I won't instruct my subordinates to do anything either," Yaoyao added, "As a favor to Yang Sande, I can offer you a relatively favorable price, one person, one billion Divine Crystals per day, minimum purchase of three days."
"Fair enough," considering what's currently known, this price isn't too high for the period, Zhang nglong thought.
"Alright, I'll take them both," Zhang nglong decided without much thought, "Just for three days to start."
"Don't you want to learn more about their basic information?" Yaoyao was quite surprised by Zhang nglong's straightforwardness.
"I don't have any other requirents as long as they can fight," Zhang nglong activated the Skyless Realm banking system, "Let's settle the paynt now."
"Hahaha, Brother Gu is indeed straightforward," Yang Sande laughed. He personally would get a six billion Divine Crystal commission, an impressively quick way to earn.
As Zhang nglong completed the paynt, Yaoyao's expression towards him subtly shifted.
From Zhang nglong, she couldn't detect any Divine Breath fluctuations, but for him to be here, he definitely wasn't completely powerless.
"You're a Body Refinent Martial Artist?" Yaoyao asked with interest.
Zhang nglong nodded, "Sort of."
"To have acquired the Heavenly Pride Order, you must have at least a Fourth Grade Spiritual Body cultivation. For a Fourth Grade Spiritual Body Body Refinent Martial Artist to produce 60 billion Divine Crystals, that's not easy. It seems Mr. Gu cos from a distinguished family."
"Hahaha, just average," Zhang nglong could tell Yaoyao was probing into his background, "from a small place you likely haven't heard of."
"Mr. Gu, even though I'm stuck here now, I've traveled across almost the entire continent; there are very few places I haven't heard of."
"Oh, do you know the Ritian Empire?"
"Ri...?" Yaoyao was montarily speechless. Having traveled across the continent, even if she hadn't been to them personally, she would have heard of the nations scattered across it. But this Ritian Empire was indeed outside her knowledge.
Could it be a newly established empire?
If it was established after Yaoyao entered the Skyless Realm, this would make sense. Otherwise, it could be a kingdom that changed nas following a political shift.
"May I ask which grade the Ritian Empire belongs to, Mr. Gu?"
"Ungraded!"
"Ungraded? Then it must have been established recently," Yaoyao muttered to herself. A newly established empire, possibly holding its entire national assets within that 60 billion Divine Crystals.
If this were true, then he likely wouldn't have much to offer, which considerably lessened Yaoyao's interest in Zhang nglong.
"Let formally introduce myself," Zhang nglong continued, "I am the Crown Prince Gu Tianle of the Ritian Empire, a subordinate empire under the Yanlan Empire."
"I've heard of the Yanlan Empire," Yaoyao pondered for a mont, recalling this small border empire. It was roughly fourth or fifth grade in caliber, incapable of boasting many strong Divine Cultivation Realm masters. But such a nation had its own subordinate empire?
Despite its grand-sounding na, Yaoyao felt that visiting the Ritian Empire might even lower her status.
Yaoyao intended to send Zhang nglong off, but he continued enthusiastically.
"This ti, I'll definitely beco the most dazzling among the many geniuses. Those superpowers will all eagerly invite to join them!"
