Chapter 472: Lend You the Sky Fox Tribe's Treasury
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong, Your Highness?" The Sky Fox King had already returned to her masculine attire, but when Li Xingyun asked her this, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and a faint blush crept onto her face. She tried to appear calm and composed, feigning indifference as she replied.
Seeing this, Li Xingyun's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a knowing smile. He secretly sighed in his heart, this guy is really strong enough! However, he did not point out the Sky Fox King's embarrassment, but continued nonchalantly: "Nothing, I just want to discuss something with you."
Upon hearing this, the Sky Fox King felt a little more at ease. She gathered her thoughts, looked at Li Xingyun seriously, and nodded in response, "Your Highness, please speak. Anything that my Sky Fox Clan can do, I will definitely agree to!"
Li Xingyun was secretly delighted when he saw this. He knew the Sky Fox King had taken the bait. So, he smiled slightly and said slowly, "How about borrowing the Sky Fox Clan's treasury?"
Upon hearing this, the Sky Fox King was stunned. She had clearly not expected Li Xingyun to make such a request, and for a moment she was at a loss. However, she quickly recovered, realizing that since she had already chosen to submit to Li Xingyun, she shouldn't regret it. Furthermore, as the ruler of a nation, Li Xingyun's words naturally carried weight.
After some thought, the Sky Fox King finally agreed to Li Xingyun's request. She took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Okay, since Your Highness needs it, I will lend you the Sky Fox Clan's treasury."
"Alright! I'll have someone take Your Highness into the vault. The gold, silver, and treasures within are at Your Highness' disposal." The Sky Fox King's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, seemingly unconcerned with Li Xingyun's request. After all, the Sky Fox Clan had accumulated wealth over hundreds of years, and the wealth within the vault was a staggering mountain. She wondered, even if Li Xingyun was allowed to use it freely, how much could she take away?
"Thank you!" Li Xingyun said with a smile, his voice gentle and polite. However, beneath this polite appearance, there was a subtle cunning hidden.
The Sky Fox King seemed to be unable to bear the pain. She frowned, a thin layer of sweat seeping out of her forehead. Despite this, she still endured the discomfort, nodded slightly to Li Xingyun, and then suddenly released the true energy in her body, and her figure disappeared at lightning speed.
"Haha! So stubborn?" Li Xingyun looked at the Sky Fox King's receding figure and suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter echoed in the empty valley, sounding particularly harsh.
The Sky Fox King, who was in the distance, heard this laughter and her face instantly turned extremely red, as if water could drip out of it. She stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and the anger in her heart erupted like a volcano.
"Wen Taiji, go to Tianhu City and find some lower-class people who are willing to become stronger and bring them back. The number should be large! They must be voluntary," Li Xingyun turned and looked at Wen Taiji beside him, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.
Even if there were enough inheritance beads, they still needed enough manpower to transport them. After all, the territory of the Western Xia Demon Kingdom was too vast, and it would be difficult to accomplish it alone. Compared to the high-ranking nobles, the common people living at the bottom of society, who were struggling, were more likely to gain their loyalty. To gain power, they were often more willing to take risks.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Wen Taiji nodded quickly. Ye Qingcheng's reaction had already eased his concerns about Li Xingyun's safety. With that being the case, he could leave without worry and complete the other tasks Li Xingyun had assigned him. As for the tasks Li Xingyun had assigned him, they were a piece of cake for him. With his level of cultivation, he felt at ease in the Tianhu Mansion, just like in his own backyard!
"Yeah!" Li Xingyun nodded in satisfaction. After Wen Taiji left, he began to wander aimlessly, waiting for the people assigned by the Sky Fox King to take him to the vault. Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long. Not long after, an old man from the Sky Fox Clan in a gray robe slowly walked up to him.
The old man bowed respectfully to Li Xingyun and said, "I am Hu Tian, honored to meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin! I have been ordered by the Prince to lead the way for you!"
As a trusted confidant of the Sky Fox King, Hu Tian naturally knew Li Xingyun's true identity. At this moment, his attitude was unusually respectful, as if Li Xingyun was his immediate superior.
Li Xingyun nodded slightly, approving of Hu Tian's attitude. His gaze was as sharp as a torch, gazing at the Earth Immortal before him. He secretly marveled at the Heavenly Fox King's sincerity. After all, having a Earth Immortal personally lead the way was no ordinary honor.
Upon seeing this, Hu Tian hurriedly nodded and bowed, saying respectfully: "Yes! Your Highness Prince Qin, please come this way!" After that, he bent his body, made a gesture of invitation, and led Li Xingyun through the layers of pavilions, as if walking into a maze.
Along the way, Li Xingyun quietly observed his surroundings. He saw the pavilions arranged in a staggered pattern, their carved beams and painted buildings a magnificent sight. The guards stationed around the pavilions were solemn and imposing, clearly well-trained elites.
Finally, they arrived at a massive warehouse heavily guarded by countless guards. The warehouse looked incredibly sturdy, surrounded by various defensive formations and restrictions. It was clearly an important forbidden area for the Sky Fox Clan.
"Your Highness Prince Qin, this is the treasury that my Sky Fox clan has accumulated over hundreds of years. You can use any treasures and money in it at will!" Hu Tian stood at the door of the warehouse and made a gesture of invitation, but did not choose to enter, as if to show respect for Li Xingyun.
Li Xingyun's lips curled up slightly at the sight of this, revealing a faint smile. He stepped into the warehouse and took a look around, seeing it filled with a dazzling array of gold, silver, rare treasures, and various precious elixirs and magical tools. This wealth piled up like a mountain, dazzling the eyes, it was simply a mountain of gold and silver.
"Well! Thank you. Some people will be coming later. Let them in." Li Xingyun looked back at Hu Tian and instructed.
Hu Tian was deeply confused by Li Xingyun's claim that "some people would be arriving." This was the Sky Fox Clan's treasury! Without the Sky Fox King's permission, not even a fly, let alone a human, would be able to enter. Yet, Li Xingyun's assurance that someone would be arriving filled Hu Tian with doubt.
