Chapter 204 Girls should be considerate

Xue Cangbai's face carried a hint of amusement. The people of the Sea Clan were always full of themselves, but as the financial gods of various countries, he wouldn't take their slight rudeness to heart. However, he was truly puzzled by Wang Feng's background.

"Don't beg me for mercy," Old Wang said with a chuckle, looking at Xue Cangbai. "Your Majesty, this is the Ice Spirit Kingdom. If these servants are disrespectful, you may handle them as you see fit."

Even a fake father-in-law is still a father-in-law, and his face must be given some respect.

Before Xue Cangbai could speak, Xuecai beside him was already delighted, her eyes wide with excitement. "Wang Feng, Wang Feng, can I do whatever I want?"

"Of course!" Old Wang said with a smile. "As long as Your Majesty agrees, Her Highness can make them crawl like dogs or even take their heads with just a word."

Lakufu nearly wet his pants. That little girl looked mischievous and unpredictable; if she were to handle it, everyone might end up as sushi. He hurriedly bowed repeatedly to Xue Cangbai. "Please, Your Majesty, spare our lives! We are willing to offer the most favorable terms for trade with the Ice Spirit Kingdom!"

Not only he, but all the Sea Clan members behind him were bowing fervently, their heads bobbing like garlic being pounded.

Everyone watched in speechless disbelief. Just moments ago, they had been so confident, and now the contrast was simply unbelievable.

"Wang Feng," Xue Cangbai finally spoke. Although he couldn't understand why Wang Feng made the Sea Clan envoy so terrified, this was just a business deal, and the other party hadn't done anything overly outrageous. It was best to stop while ahead. "Let the envoy stand up first."

The Sea Clan members dared not get up, continuing to bow incessantly until they heard Wang Feng say, "Didn't you hear what His Majesty said?"

Only then did Lakufu and the other Sea Clan members feel a sense of relief. They had just risen to their feet when they heard Wang Feng say again, "You people..."

Rustle...

It was as if their legs had turned to jelly, and the Sea Clan members who had just stood up immediately fell to their knees once more.

Xue Cangbai couldn't help but cough lightly.

"Alright, alright," Old Wang waved his hand. "You lot, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. A good banquet is for drinking, watching performances, and chatting. Why must you cause trouble... Get up and eat properly, or else I'll have your dog lives."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Lakfu scrambled to his feet with a face full of smiles, but his back was still drenched in cold sweat.

Though his life seemed to be temporarily spared, the problem was that this nobleman had ties to the mermaid royal family... known for their love of settling scores after the fact. They were the most unpredictable among the three major royal families, smiling at you one moment and slaughtering your entire family the next. It was said that mermaids were the ones you could least afford to offend. Who knew if this nobleman would do the same, sparing him today only to seek trouble later?

"Lord Wang Feng, I truly failed to recognize your greatness just now. My mind was clouded by foolishness. What you said is absolutely right; it's much better to enjoy wine and watch the show. Why bother with violence? The dance and song of those few performers earlier were truly extraordinary, leaving me with a lingering sense of admiration..."

Lakfu quickly adapted to his new role, his ability to change expressions impressing even the people of Ice Spirit Kingdom.

Xue Cangbo smiled and said, "If the envoy enjoys music and dance, attendants."

He clapped his hands, and immediately, dancers re-entered the hall, restoring the previous lively atmosphere.

Amidst the music and dancing, Lakfu continuously praised the high standards of Ice Spirit’s dances, the grace and dignity of the princess, the wisdom and valor of the king, and the divine presence of Master Zhebie. He avoided mentioning the earlier incident, constantly toasting Xue Cangbo and Zhebie, behaving very obediently.

Finally, when the atmosphere was sufficiently warm, he nervously approached Wang Feng to offer a toast, adopting an extremely humble posture, almost kneeling as he did so. Unfortunately, the other party showed no intention of acknowledging him.

Old Wang was already in a bad mood. These sea creatures were all scoundrels, just looking at them made him angry.

In truth, he was sulking over Clara. The effect of the hawk eye on the sea creatures was so significant, yet Clara refused to mention it to him.

This vixen, always claiming they were as close as brothers, yet playing such underhanded tricks. Beautiful women were indeed unreliable! Giving him a first kiss or some mark and sending him off like that—did he look like someone who needed a first kiss? What he lacked was money. While he wasn’t trying to return to Earth anymore, raising insect larvae was still a profitable venture!

Though the mermaid mark had allowed him to show off today, they were not teenagers anymore. Showing off without any financial gain was pointless. No, no, once back in Aurora City, he had to have a serious talk with her. And given his performance today, he should also borrow another hundred thousand from the princess. His recent expenses had been high, eating well and losing a lot to Fu Liye, the last bit of what he borrowed was almost gone...

Seeing that Wang Feng completely ignored him, Lakfu didn’t feel embarrassed.

He drank the wine in his cup and, with a fawning smile, said, "The princess and Lord Wang Feng are a perfect match, a union made in heaven. I came in a hurry and didn’t have time to prepare a special gift for the two of you."

As he spoke, he fished out a soul crystal card that was commonly used across the continent and respectfully presented it with both hands: "A small token of my respect, I wish Your Highness and Lord Wang Feng a long and happy marriage, and may you soon have a noble heir!"

Old Wang finally deigned to give him a sidelong glance, lazily glancing at the card. Feeling that it was quite ordinary, not like some diamond or gold VIP card, he said somewhat displeased, "What do you take me for? Do you think I care about money? Do I lack your few tens of thousands of soul crystals?"

"Five hundred thousand, five hundred thousand... I came in such a hurry today, I really didn't have time to prepare..." Lakfu, drenched in sweat and secretly regretting his rashness, blamed himself for being too hasty. What kind of person is this lord? How could he possibly care about such a trifling amount of money? This flattery has backfired. If only I had known...

But before he could finish his thought, he saw Wang Feng's eyes light up as he quickly tucked the soul crystal card into his pocket: "What's your name again?"

"Lakfu!" Lakfu hurriedly replied.

"Good, good. I think Lakfu, you are very loyal to the sea people, a fine sea whale!" Old Wang patted his shoulder approvingly: "You're smart, speak well, and look quite presentable. Come find me more often when you have nothing to do; I love making friends!"

Lakfu was both surprised and delighted, seizing the opportunity: "If it's Lord Wang Feng's command, how can I dare to refuse? I'll be in Ice Spirit City for a while, and whenever I have free time, I will definitely come to pay my respects to you!"

Old Wang smiled and said, "Then it's settled. And bring your seastar friend along, get to know each other better."

As he spoke, he raised his glass enthusiastically toward the seastar guild master. Hagen, who had been paying close attention to this side, looked flattered and quickly raised his glass in response, then drank it down in one go.

He was observant, which made things comfortable. Even a messenger like Lakfu gave a gift of five hundred thousand, so how could a wealthy merchant give less?

Old Wang felt quite pleased. Suddenly, he thought that the mark Clara had given him wasn't so bad after all. This thing, it's a steady stream...

"Wang Feng, Wang Feng!" Xuecai couldn't hold back any longer, tugging at Wang Feng's sleeve repeatedly.

Old Wang was still pondering how much the seastar guild master planned to give him as a gift: "What is it?"

Xuecai's face was flushed with excitement. Although Ice Spirit and the sea people had dealt with each other before, this was the first time she had seen the sea people so humble and submissive: "What did you do to them? Is it magic? Illusion? Oh right, are you a sea person? I heard Aurora City is by the sea..."

The little girl rambled on with a barrage of questions, giving Old Wang a headache. He couldn't answer them, and just as he was starting to feel annoyed, Xue Zhiyu stepped in to defuse the situation: "Everyone has their secrets. If Wang Feng doesn't want to say, don't force him, Xuecai."

"Sure!" Xuecai's eyes widened. "Sis, you're already taking his side?"

Xue Zhiyu was taken aback, her face turning slightly red. "Nonsense..."

"Don’t be so uptight," Old Wang, who had just received five million, was in a wonderful mood and said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "This isn’t taking sides; it’s genuine concern. Little Cai, you just aren’t as considerate as Zhiyu."

"You called me Little Cai again!" Xuecai gritted her teeth in frustration, but she didn’t dare jump up to pull Wang Feng’s ear in front of her father.

She couldn’t argue with him, couldn’t beat him, and couldn’t even stretch him out.

Blah, blah, what exactly did she get for spending eight thousand on this?
