Dashing Student

Chen Nan's words were shocking, and the room fell into silence.

After a while, Shang Sanniang finally came back to her senses from the shock, showing a look of disdain in her eyes: "Chen Nan, are you polite?!"

"I just wanted to use your name to shoo away some annoying flies, and you actually want to sleep with me?"

Chen Nan shrugged undeniably: "Miss Shang, do you really understand the consequences of being made your decoy?"

"With your family's background, those pursuing you should all be outstanding, right? Even those without some background would be embarrassed to show up in front of you."

"If you announce that I'm your Dao partner, it will undoubtedly provoke their hatred, and even their families and sects would hate me, maybe even think about eliminating me."

"When you think about it this way, the price I'm asking is actually too low."

Shang Sanniang listened, dumbfounded, and instinctively asked: "Then what do you mean?"

"More money!"

Chen Nan was serious, with no trace of evil desire in his eyes, only a longing for more money.

As the daughter of the Myriad Phenomena Commerce, Shang Sanniang realized after a moment's thought that Chen Nan was raising the price right in front of her, and couldn't help but laugh angrily.

"So, am I supposed to obediently offer myself and give you a large sum of Spirit Stones?"

Chen Nan spread his hands: "Otherwise? Miss Shang, backed by the Myriad Phenomena Commerce, seems not to understand the difficulties faced by us loose cultivators, which is cautious, treading on thin ice, fearing offending someone."

"If I really became Miss Shang's nominal Dao partner, my life would be in danger. Is the price I'm asking high?"

The more he discussed it, the more he felt he had a point, even thinking he was asking too little.

"Ha ha, Young Master Chen, don't you think you're being too greedy? I just disagree with my father's plan to choose a husband for me to marry, not really looking for a Dao partner."

"Believe it or not, I could go out and shout, I don't know how many people would fight to become my decoy!"

Chen Nan raised his eyebrows, and his excited heart quickly calmed down.

Because he realized, Shang Sanniang was no different from those cultivators high above who didn't care about mortal lives.

She knew being made a decoy would cost people their lives, but she didn't care, she just wanted to escape her father's arranged marriage.

For such a person, Chen Nan had no feelings at all, and in the first place, he wanted to propose such conditions to reject Shang Sanniang's deal.

"Since the young lady disagrees, the deal is canceled. Please have someone prepare the things I want quickly."

He assumed a business-like attitude, his expression returning to calm.

Shang Sanniang felt very frustrated, not knowing how many people dreamed about her, but in this man's eyes, she seemed to be dispensable?

But on second thought, she could understand, those pursuing her all had deep backgrounds, and they were also attracted to the terrifying financial power of Myriad Phenomena Commerce.

So, if an unknown nobody suddenly appeared, stealing the agreed-upon Dao partner candidate, he would be killed at all costs.

Choosing Chen Nan was because no one believed he could survive facing Xu Wencheng before, but he just survived and became a victor.

Such a person, even without a background, would not be easily killed.

Most importantly, Chen Nan's character was good, he was grateful and returned favors, his appearance was similarly good, considered handsome, and his talent was amazing, evident from being able to kill a Golden Core Stage Cultivator.

In contrast, those family land and sect prodigies pursuing her, either had poor character, were arrogant and conceited, or even liked to search for furnaces.

Compared to them, Chen Nan was simply a breath of fresh air among men!

And Chen Nan had just made a name in Ten Thousand Beasts City, gaining the title of Flame Demon, although it didn't sound orthodox, at least he was not an unknown figure, his father could be convinced.

But seeing Chen Nan's indifferent attitude, she was just itching with anger.

"Alright, Chen Nan, you're really something!"

"You win, I agree to your conditions!"

Now it was Chen Nan who showed a shocked expression.

"You actually agree? Are you crazy?"

"What? Did you really think I can't live without you? Agree or not, answer quickly!" Shang Sanniang was a bit impatient, staring intently at Chen Nan.

As if as long as Chen Nan refused, she would call her guards to chop him into meat paste.

Chen Nan did indeed want to experience what benefit Dual Cultivation with a woman who triggered a reaction from the Scripture of the Hidden Talisman would bring, but he wouldn't forget to consider the consequences.

Think about it, having already angered many people, he didn't mind offending a few more, at worst he'd lay low in the future.

But he was still unwilling to agree easily, at least he should demand more cultivation resources, such opportunities were rare.

"Miss Shang, I said, more money!"

Shang Sanniang clenched her fists, her chest heaving violently, it took a good while to suppress her anger and she felt like she wanted to kill the man in front of her for his outrageous demands.

"You name it!"

Chen Nan counted on his fingers, as if reciting a list.

"One thousand Replenishing Essence Pills first, one thousand Revitalizing Pills too, as I often get injured, and five hundred Spiritual Breath Pills, Qingming Pills, Barrier Breaking Pills each, prepare several Eighth Grade Arrays, a few Eighth-grade Spiritual Artifacts, and any Secret Treasures, the more the better..."

"Do you think elixir pills are like cabbages? Don't push me to have someone clean you up, there are at least three Golden Core Stage experts outside the door." Shang Sanniang was livid.

Chen Nan sighed, knowing that agreeing to all he mentioned was unrealistic, but in business, raise the price, lower the return, something's got to be discussed.

In the end, Shang Sanniang successfully got Chen Nan to pretend to be her Dao partner by offering one hundred Replenishing Essence Pills, Revitalizing Pills, and fifty Spiritual Breath Pills, Qingming Pills and herself as the price.

"Pleasant collaboration. If anyone pursues you again in the future, have them come to me. Since I've received the money, I'll make sure the job is done." Chen Nan patted his chest in assurance, his attitude couldn't be more sincere.

Shang Sanniang sneered coldly: "Do you think I'm stupid? How could they possibly find you?"

"Yeah, this way the young lady has a reason to refuse them." Chen Nan said as if it was perfectly logical.

Shang Sanniang was utterly speechless, but why did she feel like she was losing more and more?

It was as if she was begging Chen Nan, how did things come to this point?

Seeing Chen Nan's contented look, Shang Sanniang was very familiar with it.

Because this was the expression her father made when he profited from a business deal.

More cunning than a tricky merchant!
