...
The remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were far too important for the revival of the Dragon Clan.
If this secret were buried forever because of his momentary impulse, then he, Di Tian, would be a historic sinner of the entire Dragon Clan!
"Hoo... Hoo..."
Di Tian's chest heaved violently as he gasped heavily for air.
After a long while, he extremely laboriously and bit by bit retracted the phantom dragon claw in midair.
Di Tian looked at Luo Nan, his gaze filled with complex emotions.
There was anger, helplessness, and a trace of admiration that even he himself was unwilling to admit.
This human was not only powerful, but also possessed boldness and scheming abilities that ordinary people could hardly match, actually managing to completely grasp the thoughts of him, the Beast God.
"Good... Very good! Human, you win."
Di Tian squeezed these words out from between his teeth, suppressing the urge to slap Luo Nan to death with one palm, and asked coldly:
"Speak, what on earth do you want before you are willing to tell this seat where the burial ground is?"
"As long as you state your conditions, this seat will never bargain!"
Di Tian felt that as long as the benefits offered were sufficient, there would be no problem.
Seeing Di Tian compromise, Luo Nan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although he was now a ninety-fifth-rank Peak Douluo and wouldn't be afraid of Di Tian if they really fought, it was naturally best if they didn't fight.
After all, clashing head-on with an eighty-one-thousand-year-old Vicious Beast was definitely not a wise choice.
Luo Nan put away his Spirit and spirit ring, and clapped his hands.
The coldness on his face instantly turned into a spring-breeze-like smile, as if the tense life-or-death confrontation just now had never happened at all.
"Your Excellency Beast God, don't be so serious, making it look like we are doing some shady transaction."
Luo Nan touched his chin, putting on a look of serious thought, and after a moment, he looked at Di Tian and said:
"Actually, I don't lack anything right now. Spirit Bone? I have my own."
"Heaven And Earth Treasure? There are plenty of them in that burial ground of mine. Look at my current configuration, do I still need them?"
Di Tian frowned: "Then what on earth do you want?"
Di Tian estimated that Luo Nan's second Spirit only had one hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.
According to reason, he should still be trying to find a way to get more spirit rings.
But Luo Nan actually wasn't anxious at all.
"No rush for now."
Luo Nan waved his hand, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes.
"Let the location of this burial ground serve as a bargaining chip I am storing with you."
"Later on, whenever I encounter trouble, or have something I need to ask of Your Excellency Beast God, we will make this transaction then, how about that?"
"You're making this seat wait?!"
Di Tian laughed out of extreme anger.
"Do you know how many years this seat has searched for the remains of the Dragon King?!"
"I don't know, but judging by your age and strength, it must be at least several hundred thousand years."
Luo Nan shrugged and said with an indifferent expression.
"Since you've already been searching for hundreds of thousands of years, you won't mind missing these few years, right?"
"Good things take time, and haste makes waste."
"Rest assured, as long as you agree to my condition, I guarantee that place won't run away, and the things inside will be kept for you."
Di Tian stared fixedly at Luo Nan, as if wanting to see some flaw on his face.
But Luo Nan's gaze was clear and open, full of confidence.
Di Tian quickly weighed the pros and cons in his heart.
Luo Nan was right; he had already searched for so many years, so he truly didn't lack this little bit of time.
Furthermore, he was very certain that if Luo Nan wanted to reach the Peak position of humanity, he would definitely have to ask things of him.
Since he would definitely need to ask things of him in the future, there was completely no need to rush for this moment.
Thinking of this, the anger in Di Tian's heart finally completely subsided.
He took a deep look at Luo Nan and snorted coldly:
"Good! This seat will trust you once! I hope you won't disappoint this seat when the time comes!"
"It's a deal." Luo Nan smiled and snapped his fingers.
Di Tian didn't say another word of nonsense.
He took a deep look at Luo Nan, then abruptly turned around and took a step forward.
"Hum—"
Space emitted a slight tremor, and Di Tian's stalwart and upright black figure instantly merged into the Space.
He sped away in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Watching Di Tian completely disappear into the horizon, Luo Nan's nerves, which had been strained to the absolute limit, finally slowly relaxed.
"Hoo..."
He let out a long breath of foul air, only to discover that his back had actually been completely soaked through with cold sweat.
Although he had acted extremely strongly just now, even daring to use the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings to threaten Di Tian.
But that was, after all, an eighty-one-thousand-year-old peerless Vicious Beast, one of the true battle-power ceilings on the Douluo Continent.
If Di Tian hadn't controlled his emotions and directly attacked, he, Luo Nan, would have been in danger.
"Fortunately, in this psychological game of chess, I won after all."
The corners of Luo Nan's mouth curved into a relieved smile.
However, Luo Nan did not lower his guard because of this.
He raised his head to glance in the direction of the Sunset Forest, his brows slightly furrowing as he calculated inwardly:
"Although Di Tian agreed to the transaction on the surface and left."
"Given his cunning Heart-Nature of having lived for countless years, who dares to guarantee whether he really left?"
"Perhaps he is hiding somewhere unknown right now."
"Staring fixedly at my every move, just waiting for me to lead him to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"It seems that Di Tian's desire for the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings is far more intense than I imagined."
"In that case, for safety's sake, I won't go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for the time being..."
Having made up his mind, Luo Nan reined in his aura, his figure flashing into a stream of light as he sped back in the direction of Heaven Dou City.
...
Outside Heaven Dou City, within a secluded private estate belonging to the Moon Pavilion.
Tang Yuehua was anxiously pacing back and forth in the courtyard, her stunning face filled with worry.
The two little girls, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, also seemed to sense the heavy atmosphere, obediently sitting on the stone benches to the side without making a sound.
Granny Ye Ci was leaning on a cane, resting her eyes, but her slightly trembling fingers still exposed the inner unrest in her heart.
Just at this moment, a familiar figure descended from the sky, landing steadily in the center of the courtyard.
"Husband!"
Seeing Luo Nan return safely, Tang Yuehua's eye sockets turned red, and she recklessly threw herself into Luo Nan's arms, hugging him tightly.
"It's alright, Yuehua, everything is resolved." Luo Nan gently stroked Tang Yuehua's smooth long hair and softly pacified her.
Tang Yuehua raised her head to examine Luo Nan carefully, and only after confirming there were no injuries on his body did she completely breathe a sigh of relief.
She was an extremely clever woman, although her heart was filled with curiosity about the identity of that black-robed man.
