He had it all figured out clearly in his mind.
Going there would inevitably require a celebratory gift.
If the gift were too modest, it would disgrace the Tiger Whale Race and his own reputation as the Demon Emperor.
If the gift were too lavish, he would suffer significant losses.
Once the gift is given, there's no reason to take it back.
"No need for a celebratory gift; your presence alone suffices, my friend."
Shen Xuan, as if seeing through his thoughts, maintained his smile.
"Hmph!"
The Tiger Whale Emperor feigned anger, his sonic waves causing the surrounding seawater to tremble slightly.
"I am not someone who cares about that kind of celebratory gift! The agreement between the Sea Race and the Human Race's Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs has long been established, with mutual non-aggression. The Sea Race will not come ashore, and the Human Race will not venture into the deep sea. This is the rule!"
