Chapter 2587 Buying Tigerheart Over (3)
"We, we still need to send people?" The White Tiger elder wanted to kneel down in front of uncle long after hearing this. Sob ... Half of their people were already here. If they were to send more people, the clansmen would definitely explode.
"Yes, the current construction progress is too slow. I want to speed it up." Uncle long explained.
"B-but the contract says that we'll only send half of our clansmen." The White Tiger elder could not help but remind him in a low voice.
"I know. For the others, just consider it as us borrowing from your White Tiger race. We will pay the compensation. Is this fine?" Uncle long said.
"Pay?" When The White Tiger elder heard this, he asked in disbelief.
"Right! The clansmen that your White Tiger race will send over will be paid and won't work for us for free. " Uncle long promised.
"May I ask what the reward is?" The White Tiger elder was very surprised. He really didn't expect this! These vampires were actually willing to bleed one day. Was it going to rain red?
"Pills and equipment are fine. It's up to you guys to choose." Uncle long thought for a while and replied.
From the looks of it, they had no lack of pills and equipment. Xue 'er and the top alchemists and blacksmiths were still refining! He had quite a few finished products in his hands, and these things could be used as payment for the White tigers. He believed that the White tigers would not be able to resist such temptation.
As expected, The White Tiger elder's eyes lit up as he asked,""How much can you give me?"
"One healing pill a day, plus one divine power recovery pill or equipment of the same value. How about it?" Uncle long said generously.
"I can't make that decision. I have to send the news back to the clan and let the great elder make a decision." The White Tiger elder said with a serious expression after thinking for a while. In reality, he was already overjoyed in his heart. Two medicinal pills a day was not something that anyone could afford. Furthermore, to the beast race, they were most interested in medicinal pills. They did not really need equipment.
"Then I'll wait for Elder White Tiger's good news. If you're not willing to do it, then I can only recruit people from the divine realm. However, I'm still more inclined to you. After all, we've already made peace. Of course, I'll leave a good opportunity for you." Uncle long said with a smile and was ready to leave.
However, before he could leave, he was stopped by The White Tiger elder again.
"Is there anything else?" Uncle long looked at the Tiger in front of him and asked.
"Uncle long, since you've already paid for the clan's people to come again, shouldn't you also pay for those of us who came first? Otherwise, I'm afraid that some people will be upset. " The White Tiger elder said, a little embarrassed.
"White Tiger elder, your White Tiger race has agreed to contribute half of your clansmen to help us construct Demon City. According to the contract, these people shouldn't receive any reward. As for the dissatisfaction in your hearts, that should be your White Tiger race's internal matter, right?" Uncle long stared at The White Tiger elder, causing the latter to break out in a cold sweat.
It was a little regretful. Why did he bring this up? What if his greed caused uncle Long's dissatisfaction? wouldn't that be self-defeating? One had to know that before they came, the great elder had repeatedly urged them to have a good relationship with this side. But now, the relationship was in danger of being ruined by him. Woo ... What should they do?
Just as The White Tiger elder was about to say something to remedy the situation, uncle long changed the topic and said slowly,""However, it seems that it's not easy for you, so we'll pay you a healing pill every day. However, the premise is that those white tigers have to work hard. If their performance is not good, we won't be a fool. In addition, I suggest that your tribe should also give these people some appropriate compensation. After all, they were sent here for the sake of the tribe, so you can't let them suffer, don't you think so?"
"Yes! Yes, I am!" The White Tiger elder hurriedly replied. He had never thought of such a reversal in words. He had thought that uncle long was angry! It didn't expect the other party to be so kind. Woo ... It was really touched, but at the same time, it was relieved. Fortunately, its greed did not make the other party feel disgusted. Otherwise, it would be hard to absolve itself of the blame even if it died a thousand times.
"Elder White Tiger, let's get along well in the future. We've always been very generous to our friends, you know that!" Uncle long patted The White Tiger elder's shoulder with a sigh and left immediately.
When they returned to the living room, uncle long explained the matter that he had discussed with The White Tiger elder to brother Dongfang Yue. After Dongfang Yue heard it, he said with a look of disdain,""You've also learned how to bribe tigerheart!"
"So what if I bribed tigerheart? Illegal?" Uncle long argued.
"It's not against the law, but you can't just take the pills that Xue 'er and the others have worked so hard to refine and give them to others as a gift, right? The White Tiger race isn't our ally!" Dongfang Yue said in a seemingly dissatisfied manner.
"They can't be considered our enemies now! Moreover, Xue 'er said that I'll be fully in charge of the matters in the demon's land, and I'm using the pills as a reward to complete the construction of Demon City as soon as possible. As such, my decision is absolutely correct. " Uncle long glanced at Dongfang Yue and said in a calm voice.
"You're quibbling. " Dongfang Yue roared in anger.
On the side, Dongfang Lin saw that the two of them were about to start fighting like cockfights again and felt a headache coming on. He didn't know what was going on, but ever since Xue 'er had gone into seclusion from time to time, it was as if these two had suddenly developed a life and death enmity. They would go all out at every turn. Of course, they didn't really fight, but looking at their daggers drawn appearance, it was also unbearable! Those who didn't know the truth would think that they were coaxing each other.
These two people were really becoming more and more like children! Dongfang Lin was extremely depressed. In this situation, it was not good for him to help anyone, and as long as he was present, they would drag him into this. This made him extremely helpless.
As expected, just as Dongfang Lin was thinking this, he heard his big brother's voice ring in his ear.""Lin, don't you think this old whale is being wasted?"
"Dongfang Lin, you have to be honest. You can't side with your brother, understand?" Uncle long also pulled Dongfang Lin over and made a Serious Request.
"You two are not kids anymore. Aren't you tired of quarreling all the time over such trivial things?" Dongfang Lin was going a little crazy. It's fine if you're quarreling, but don't drag me into it, okay? He wasn't the judge, so he couldn't interfere in their Affairs.
"Lin, how could this be a trivial matter? This is a big deal, okay? It's shameful to waste. " Dongfang Yue said with a disapproving look.
"It's not a waste, it's to stimulate their motivation to work, understand? You're a brainless idiot who only knows how to use brute force!" Uncle long said with a face full of disappointment.
"You're the idiot! Your whole family is an idiot!" Dongfang Yue was infuriated. If they were quarreling, so be it. There was no need for personal attacks.
"I'm sorry, I'm the only one at home. " Uncle long said indifferently.
"You ..." Dongfang Yue was furious.
"Alright! All of you stop! You're not done yet. " Dongfang Lin, who couldn't take it anymore, finally shouted.
With this roar, uncle long and Dongfang Yue both strangely quieted down like mistreated wives. When Dongfang Lin saw this, he was really surprised. If he had known earlier, he would have flipped out long ago, alright?
"Little Lin Lin is so fierce!" Uncle long said fearfully. He kept patting his chest to show that he was very scared.
"Exactly, it's so terrifying!" Dongfang Yue chimed in.
Dongfang Lin was truly speechless when he saw how careful they were.
"What now?" Leng ruoxue walked in from outside and saw the strange atmosphere. She couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Xue 'er, uncle long is acting on his own again. You have to do something about it." Dongfang Yue was the first to complain. Uncle long rolled his eyes helplessly when he saw this. He thought to himself,'this guy is addicted to complaining. I really can't do anything to him.'
In fact, the two of them were now playing around from time to time. It was also a way to keep in touch. Who asked Xue 'er to be often not around? they had lost their backbone in their hearts!
"What did uncle long do?" Hearing this, Leng ruoxue raised her brows and asked curiously.
When Dongfang Yue heard this, he quickly reported all the 'good deeds' that uncle long had done. Leng ruoxue didn't know what to say other than chuckling.
In her opinion, this was not a big deal. She did not believe that Dongfang Yue was such a petty person. He was always against uncle long. Could there be something fishy going on?
At the thought of this, Leng ruoxue's beautiful eyes kept darting back and forth between uncle long and Dongfang Yue. She only retracted her gaze regretfully when she was about to make the two of them explode.
Alright! Everything looked normal.
Sighing lightly, Leng ruoxue took the initiative to change the topic,""I might have to leave for a while."
"Eh? Where to?" Uncle long was shocked and quickly asked.
"Xue 'er, are you going to abandon us?" Dongfang Yue said with a bitter look. His gaze was as pitiful as it could get.
When Leng ruoxue saw this, she could not help but feel disgusted. When did Dongfang Yue, the tough guy, learn to act cute and pitiful? The world had really changed!
"I just want to go back to the Haotian continent. I still have some subordinates there. I want to visit them and bring them to the divine realm, and help with the construction of the City of Demons." Leng ruoxue sighed and explained.
"Xue 'er, you really came at the right time! How many of your subordinates do you have?" Uncle long asked impatiently.
"Uh! I'm not sure now. " Leng ruoxue said, feeling a little embarrassed. The reason she had such thoughts was because she had unintentionally mentioned to her ancestor that they did not have enough manpower to build Demon City, and her ancestor had reminded her of it!
Of course, the old ancestor did not forget to ask her to visit the Leng family while she was at it. She even suspected that this might be the old ancestor's real purpose.
