Zhou Yan saw that Daila had finished reading the entire list and asked, "Are you satisfied with this gift?"
Daila's inner thoughts: "(╬￣皿￣)＝○＃（￣＃）３￣）"
Daila first calmed her current mood. Zhou Yan had almost broken through her good temper. Then she said, "Zhou Yan, you're asking for a bit too much."
"If your people from the Dark Dynasty had been able to kill me back then, none of this would have happened, would it?"
Was what Zhou Yan asked for too much?
He only asked for a little bit, didn't he?
He didn't ask for the entire Dark Dynasty, did he? He only asked for his own mental compensation. Zhang San could testify!
"There's too much on this list. And for many of these items, let alone our entire Dark Dynasty, even if we turned the entire God and Demon Continent upside down, we probably couldn't gather so many things."
Daila was indeed very angry, but she had to maintain her elegant demeanor, elegant attitude, elegant smile, and elegant posture.
Forget it, she hated this elegance so much right now!
Please allow her to trample on this elegance in her heart.
Zhou Yan was simply too infuriating!
"Impossible. You can definitely gather everything on this list. You haven't turned over the entire God and Demon Continent, so how do you know you can't gather it?" Zhou Yan retorted.
Daila: "(＃`Д´)┌┛〃"
Listen to this! Is this something a human would say?
Daila trembled, clutching her collar. This wasn't nervousness; it was her desperately trying not to explode.
Daila opened the material list, her expression dangerous, and pointed elegantly at some of the materials on the list. She said, "This item is too scarce. The entire Lord Continent can't buy this much."
"And this one. There are probably fewer than one hundred thousand units of this on the Lord Continent, and you're asking us to gather one million units. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult?"
Zhou Yan took a sip of tea and replied, "Look at what you're saying. I am deliberately making things difficult for you."
Daila suffered her third mental and physical blow: "(ｰ̀дｰ́)"
Can't we negotiate properly anymore?
Are they being this direct?
"You're quite amusing when you're joking." Daila sat up straight and smiled elegantly, but the smile looked increasingly awkward.
"I'm not joking. We're negotiating, and I'm very serious about it," Zhou Yan replied.
For the sake of her country, Daila had to continually humble herself and bow her head.
Zhou Yan finally broke Daila down, and she burst into tears, saying, "Why are you bullying me like this? I've already humbled myself so much, can't you be magnanimous and lower your demands?"
Zhou Yan also felt helpless. Was he being too much?
He hadn't done anything, had he? He hadn't done anything at all!
"You should rest first. We'll continue tomorrow," Zhou Yan said.
After he said this, Daila cried even more sorrowfully. Was Zhou Yan a devil?
How long would he torment her?
The next day, Daila regained her elegant expression, but in the end, she still burst into tears.
Day after day, Daila's body and mind became stronger and stronger.
Anything could be honed. Daila's mind and body were constantly being broken down by Zhou Yan, then recovering, then being broken down again, and then recovering once more.
The negotiations lasted for more than half a month. Daila returned to the Dark Dynasty, carrying the material list, exhausted.
Upon her return to the Dark Dynasty, Daila handed the material list to Lasce Laurie and said, "I'm tired. I'm going back to rest."
When Lasce Laurie saw Daila's exhausted and dispirited appearance, he immediately became furious: "This Zhou Yan, you scoundrel, I'll kill you!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"Your Majesty, you must not act impulsively!"
"Princess Daila sacrificed herself for the entire Dark Dynasty. We absolutely cannot act impulsively again."
...
Everyone was furious. That damned Zhou Yan had actually tormented their Princess Daila of the Dark Dynasty to this extent!
He was inhumane!
This was a complete humiliation to their entire Dark Dynasty!
Lasce Laurie's eyes were bloodshot. If Zhou Yan were in front of him, he would definitely rush forward and devour him.
Zhou Yan: What did I do? [・_・?]
Zhou Yan: I didn't do a damn thing!
Zhou Yan: I'm so wronged!
The news that Princess Daila went to Zhou Yan's territory to negotiate for the entire Dark Dynasty, and returned exhausted after being defiled and tormented, spread like a storm.
The story became more and more exaggerated, and eventually, more than half of the Dark Dynasty wanted to go to war, saying they were willing to perish with Zhou Yan.
In the Dark Hall, when Lasce Laurie opened the material list, he became more enraged the more he looked at it, and his blood surged uncontrollably.
"Pfft!"
Finally, under the multiple assaults, Lasce Laurie spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed in the Dark Hall.
"Quick, someone!"
"Your Majesty, you must not be harmed."
"Quick, call the priests!"
Lasce Laurie lay unconscious for three full days. The moment he woke up, he saw Daila by his side.
"Daila, Father Emperor is sorry to you. It was Father Emperor who let you suffer."
As soon as Lasce Laurie woke up, tears welled up in his eyes. As the ruler of a nation, how could he not even protect his own daughter? He really wanted to end it all.
Daila: "(•ิ_•ิ)?"
What happened?
"Father Emperor, it's alright. I was also angered for more than half a month, and I still got through it. It's no big deal," Daila quickly said.
"Daila, Father Emperor is sorry to you..." As Lasce Laurie spoke, he suddenly realized something and asked, "Angered for more than half a month? What do you mean???"
"That Zhou Yan deliberately angered me with that list. I was angry for more than half a month. I didn't sleep a single peaceful night during this half a month. I slept a bit these past two days, and I'm much better today," Daila explained.
Lasce Laurie: "(@[]@!!)"
"You weren't defiled by that Zhou Yan?" Lasce Laurie was dumbfounded!
Damn it!
Where had his mind gone!
"Defiled? Father Emperor, what are you talking about? Your daughter is perfectly fine. Everything is intact," Daila replied somewhat angrily.
Lasce Laurie: "(￣┏Д┓￣°*)"
"Your Highness Princess Daila, you don't know, but the entire Dark Dynasty has been spreading rumors that you..."
The maid next to them was also stunned and wanted to say something, but upon seeing Lasce Laurie's gaze, she was immediately frightened into silence.
"What are they saying? Speak quickly!" Daila felt that this was a huge misunderstanding.
The maid looked at Lasce Laurie but still dared not speak.
"Speak," Lasce Laurie also felt that Daila would eventually find out about this matter.
After Daila listened, she was speechless.
She was perfectly fine, so why were things being spread like that?
