Knowing Yang Tian's age, Shui Bing'er felt less reserved when facing him. After all, facing a Yang Tian who was a year younger than her, Shui Bing'er couldn't bring herself to be reserved.
Along the way, the two chatted happily, and Shui Bing'er even suggested sparring with Yang Tian, who readily agreed. Not to mention system tasks, Yang Tian had already ignored such small tasks. For common-level theft coupon tasks, if he could do them conveniently, he would; otherwise, Yang Tian would directly ignore them.
"So, you agreed to my father's invitation to be a guest at the City Lord's Mansion, but you had ulterior motives?" In the City Lord's Mansion, Shui Bing'er led Yang Tian unimpeded and spoke.
"That's right, no ulterior motives. I'm too lazy to do troublesome things like attending banquets."
"Then why did you come to the City Lord's Mansion?" Shui Bing'er asked curiously. Yang Tian heard this and replied without hesitation, "Of course, for you."
... Shui Bing'er rolled her beautiful eyes at Yang Tian. As they interacted, Shui Bing'er found that Yang Tian was not as aloof as she had imagined; instead, he was approachable. Occasionally, he would even say things to make her happy. It's just that his eyes weren't very honest... but Shui Bing'er didn't care, after all, Yang Tian was so handsome... and his talent was so good... looking was also open and above board, unlike those ruffians who were sneaky...
After receiving a big eye-roll from Shui Bing'er, Yang Tian knew she didn't believe him. He then said, "You really shouldn't disbelieve it. When your father sells you to me, it'll be too late for you to regret it."
Shui Bing'er snorted softly, "You wish. My father wouldn't sell me to you." While saying this, Shui Bing'er secretly glanced at Yang Tian. This guy spoke very casually; could he really have come for her?
"If you don't believe me, then don't." Yang Tian didn't try to explain forcefully. She would believe him later when he negotiated terms with the Tian Shui City Lord.
Shui Bing'er naturally didn't believe it, after all, Yang Tian had never seen her before.
In the main hall, the Tian Shui City Lord had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Yang Tian and Shui Bing'er arrive, chatting and laughing, he smiled in relief and stood up to greet them, "Young Swordsman, it is an honor to have you visit my humble abode. If my hospitality is lacking, please do not take offense."
Upon hearing this, Yang Tian immediately put on a flattered expression and said, "City Lord, you are too kind. I am truly humbled."
The Tian Shui City Lord laughed heartily, immediately invited Yang Tian to take a seat, and instructed Shui Bing'er to pour tea for Yang Tian.
It wasn't mealtime yet, so naturally, only tea could be served.
Shui Bing'er elegantly and gracefully poured tea for Yang Tian. Yang Tian smiled, thinking his future father-in-law was quite interesting.
However, Yang Tian never liked to procrastinate, so he immediately got to the point!
Taking a sip of tea, Yang Tian spoke first, saying, "City Lord, do you still remember our agreement from last night?"
When Yang Tian spoke, Shui Bing'er also listened intently. She wouldn't believe that Yang Tian had really come for her.
The Tian Shui City Lord heard this and immediately said, "Of course I remember. Young friend, feel free to state any requests you have. If I, Shui, can do it, I will certainly not refuse." The Tian Shui City Lord originally wanted to win over Yang Tian, so he naturally spoke with full commitment.
Yang Tian heard this, winked at Shui Bing'er, and said, "Bing'er, what do you think, if I ask the City Lord to marry you to me, would he agree?"
Shui Bing'er was stunned, and the Tian Shui City Lord also didn't react for a moment. Fortunately, Shui Bing'er didn't take it seriously and directly said, "Get lost, we're talking about serious matters."
However, the Tian Shui City Lord then spoke, "Young friend likes Bing'er. If you can win her over and you both are in love, I, Shui, would naturally be happy to see it happen."
"Father, the Swordsman is talking nonsense, why are you taking it seriously?" Shui Bing'er's pretty face flushed red with embarrassment, and she glared at Yang Tian with her beautiful eyes, warning him, "Don't tease me again, or else..."
"Or else what?" Yang Tian was a little amused, then looked at the Tian Shui City Lord again and said seriously, "City Lord, my journey this time is indeed for Bing'er. Of course, it's not for marriage."
The Tian Shui City Lord heard this, and his expression also became serious as he asked, "Then for what reason?"
At this moment, Shui Bing'er also listened intently, her big eyes fixed on Yang Tian. This guy, did he really come for her?
Yang Tian did not hide anything and directly said, "Two years from now, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. I want to form a champion team. At the same time, I also want to cultivate several genius Spirit Masters!
Bing'er's talent is excellent. At only fourteen years old, she is already a Level 36 Spirit Elder. With a little cultivation, a Titled Douluo is just the beginning."
"Hiss~"
Yang Tian's tone was incredibly bold. In the eyes of the Tian Shui City Lord, a Titled Douluo was the lifelong dream of countless Spirit Masters. Yet, in Yang Tian's view, a Titled Douluo was only the beginning?
What then was the end point?
Shui Bing'er's beautiful eyes sparkled with brilliance. She was naturally very competitive, so how could she not be moved upon hearing Yang Tian's grand words?
It's just, could it really be as Yang Tian said, that a Titled Douluo was just the starting point?
The Tian Shui City Lord gasped, he never would have thought that Yang Tian would have such grand ambitions.
However, when Yang Tian said the next sentence, he immediately froze on the spot.
"Actually, I just have a god-making plan. Bing'er's talent is very good, and her Spirit's potential is also very great. Following me, becoming a god in the future is not a problem."
...
There was a moment of silence in the hall. God? On the Douluo Continent, there were legends of gods, but those were just legends!
The Tian Shui City Lord looked at Yang Tian in disbelief. Yang Tian also knew that words alone were not enough, so he took out a bottle of pills from his storage ring and placed it in front of the Tian Shui City Lord, saying, "These pills can nourish a Spirit Master's spirit power without any side effects. Roughly, one pill can raise a Spirit Elder by one level. Of course, 'no side effects' is under the premise of reasonable consumption of the pills.
Any pill, if consumed like fried beans, would also lead to an unstable foundation, wouldn't it?"
The Tian Shui City Lord looked in horror at the pills Yang Tian had placed in front of him, then carefully opened the lid of the jade bottle. Pure spirit power fluctuations and a rich pill aroma wafted towards him. Without needing to consume it, the Tian Shui City Lord immediately confirmed, "No impurities. If the frequency of consumption is controlled, any Spirit Master below Spirit Saint can use these pills to improve. Such pills... if they appeared on the market, countless people would queue up to buy one for ten thousand gold coins.
You plan to use this to cultivate Bing'er? If so, Bing'er can indeed reach the Spirit Saint level in a short time. But do you have enough pills...."
Yang Tian shook his head, and only then did the Tian Shui City Lord breathe a sigh of relief. If Yang Tian had said yes, he really wouldn't have been able to resist robbing the rich to help the poor....
However, Yang Tian said, "Cultivating Bing'er naturally wouldn't involve such trash. It's just that after Bing'er follows me, the Tian Shui Battle Team will experience a loss of combat power.
These pills are compensation for the Tian Shui Battle Team."
The Tian Shui City Lord's mouth twitched, and Shui Bing'er also didn't know how to speak for a moment.
The pills that the Tian Shui City Lord wanted to rob, you call them trash? Pills that countless people would fight over to buy for ten thousand gold coins, you call them trash? Then what isn't trash?
