Chapter 570: Chapter 566: I Am Excellent at Negotiation! Chapter 570: Chapter 566: I Am Excellent at Negotiation! “Indeed worthy of the Dragon Princess, as in the legend, commanding such a large number of giant dragons,” a voice full of admiration echoed as Princess Filisia tried to discern the presence that had piqued her interest.

The blue-haired princess turned her gaze to the source of the voice and saw a war chariot, drawn by eight celestial horses, roaring towards her. A woman dressed in golden armor stood on the chariot. She was extraordinarily beautiful, her body luminous, radiating with a dazzling brilliance.

Her lips were red and her teeth white. She had a prominent nose and a pair of golden pupils filled with majesty. Although she was a woman, she exuded an aura of heroic spirit not found in men. Her black hair billowed, making her look like an unparalleled female warrior goddess.

“Seventh Princess, Gladys?” Seeing this woman make her grand entrance, Princess Filisia of Dragons, who had come here with just a perfunctory attitude, was slightly startled. Her heart became slightly more serious. As expected, all royal members with an inheritance right weren’t to be underestimated.

You can just refer to me as Gladys.” The heroic princess revealed a charming smile, causing several nobles below to lose their concentration for a moment. “The Dragon Princess has brought quite a number of giant dragons! Does this mean you want to empty my hunting ground?”

“Not a lot, I just brought some. There are still some dragons sleeping in the Dragon’s Nest,” the Dragon Princess replied with a casual smile. She was stunningly beautiful, with a tall figure, long legs, a slender waist, and ample chest. Her blue hair was sparkling and both their appearances were equally striking.

“My dragon, she didn’t bring it.” Below, Muria, who had carefully observed the giant dragons brought by the Dragon Princess, gritted his teeth resentfully. If the six Mage Dragons who were forcibly whisked away had also come, he would have found a way to forcefully take them away, saving him a lot of trouble.

“What a pity.” Muria looked at Filisia, who was standing on top of the sapphire ancient dragon, clenched his fist and Klein next to him felt a strange sense of trepidation.

“Boring.” Muria continued to listen to the conversations overhead and found that Gladys was talking to Filisia about some insignificant chatter to ease the atmosphere.

“It seems like they can still shoot the breeze for a while.” Muria sneered, carrying a plate, wandering through the crowd of decadent nobles at the banquet, looking for all kinds of food he hadn’t tasted before. Tasting delicious food was one of the greatest pleasures of a living being in this world.

…

“All nobles, listen up. Each of you can bring your own private soldiers, no more than a hundred people, to hunt in Princess Gladys’s Semi Plane. The game you hunt can be exchanged for points. The ten highest scorers will receive the prizes prepared by Gladys.”

After Muria had tasted almost all the foods at the banquet, the two princesses from different empires finally finished their conversation. The hunting prepared for Muria’s needs was about to begin. Catherine, who was wearing black armor, came forward and announced the rules.

“I have to remind you of one thing. There is an adult Insect Lord living in this Semi Plane. The entire Semi Plane is considered by the Insect Lord as its territory. If you encounter the Insect Lord’s minions, try your best to kill them. But if you encounter the Insect Lord himself, crush the space crystal that will be distributed to you shortly and escape immediately.”

As Catherine spoke, one by one, the handmaids presented a crystal to the nobles present. Even Muria received one.

“It contains not only the power of space but also a complete teleportation array. How lavish.” Muria examined the crystal in his hand and exclaimed in admiration.

“That’s not the important part, Muria,” Klein, a nobleman in a flashy purple armor, somehow found Muria again, “We are about to enter a semi-plane with an adult Insect Lord!”

“Hmm, I heard. You don’t have to repeat.” Muria waved his hand nonchalantly, “It’s just a Legendary-level big bug. You have a space crystal in your hand and you can’t die. What’s there to be afraid of?”

“But it’s a Legendary creature!” Klein gnashed his teeth at Muria’s blithe attitude, “If we really run into the Insect Lord, we might get killed before we even register what happened.”

“Hmm, if you are unprepared, you might indeed get killed.” Muria glanced at Klein.

“Hiss, aren’t you afraid to encounter the Insect Lord?” Klein felt a chill in his teeth. He found that the guy in front of him was indeed an oddball. No matter what he faced, he was always calm, “I tell you, there is a death quota that Her Royal Highness Gladys can afford. If a few nobles die, she doesn’t have to be responsible.”

“Death Quota? Not bad; it’s stronger than I imagined.” Muria nodded. He had seen the extravagance and decadence of the empire, but now he saw the admirable aspects of the Uranos Empire. A mere hunting for entertainment not only had a Legendary-level Insect Lord, but also had a death quota. One could well imagine that the other activities would be even more brutal.

“Hey dude, are you really not afraid?”

“What am I afraid of? If I run into the Insect Lord, I will smash it directly. It should be afraid of me, not me afraid of it.”

“Uh!” Klein was taken aback and started to scrutinize Muria more cautiously, “Brother, how strong are you?”

“Guess?” Muria arched his eyebrows.

“Legendary?” Klein asked tentatively. He felt that there was something extraordinary about this boy, otherwise, he would not have been able to sit in the princess’s carriage.

“The Space Gate has already opened; you should bring your guards and prepare to enter the hunting grounds.” Muria patted Klein’s shoulder, lightly stomping her left foot on the ground, then flying towards the Space Gate suspended in mid-air.

At this moment, the nobles, escorted by their guard troops, entered the Space Gate one after another, heading for the Wild Jungle on the other side, each harboring certain expectations, hoping to display their prowess in front of the two noble princesses.

“Muria.”

As Muria was about to enter the semi-plane, a chilling voice devoid of any emotion reached her ears.

“What is it?” Muria turned her head, only to see a purple-haired girl looking at her. Behind the girl were four sets of knights, each set representing black, green, red and white. There were exactly 25 knights from each color, all mounted on their warhorses, standing in mid-air.

“These are the Apocalypse Four Knights prepared for you by Her Royal Highness Gladys.”

“I don’t need them.” Muria sensed their auras. All of them were around Gold Rank in strength. She shook her head, instantly refusing. She might have been interested in Soul-Intent-Level Apocalypse Knights, but couldn’t muster any interest for Gold Rank ones.

Subsequently, disregarding the purple-haired girl whose face had turned green, Muria turned around and rushed into the Space Gate, vanishing from sight. This scene was observed by many nobles who had not yet entered the semi-plane, and they instantly began to guess what just happened. Klein, who was in the process of gathering his guards, also watched as this happened, opening his mouth in surprise.

“My God, what is Muria’s background and what skill does she have that deserves such special treatment from the princess?”

…

Immediately after entering the semi-plane, Muria didn’t linger. Ignoring the nobles who were still discussing alliance at the entrance, she disguised herself as a cloud, and crossed a continuous mountain range. She then stopped, took out a jade plate, inputted the refined magical power from her mental power, and a heroic female figure emerged on the jade plate.

“Can you hear me? Gladys,” Muria tried calling out a couple of times, “If you can hear me, tell me where the Dragon Princess is. I want to find her.”

“I can hear you, Muria.” Hearing Muria’s impetuous voice, Gladys, who was standing on her war chariot with the reins of eight Celestial Warhorses in her hand, rubbed her temples helplessly.

“The Dragon Princess and I separated to search for the Insect Lord. Muria, you wait for a while, let me first negotiate with the Dragon Princess, okay?”

“It’s my dragon that was stolen. Shouldn’t I be the one negotiating? Isn’t that better?”

“If you negotiate, you will definitely end in a physical fight.” Gladys said bluntly. Having been around Muria for a while, she realized that Muria’s negotiating skills were practically non-existent.

“Haven’t you realized? The way you talk is too direct, the chance of you upsetting the Dragon Princess is a hundred percent. She is also a very proud princess, I can see that.”

“I just prefer to tell it how it is.” Muria frowned, “And if a fight it’s what it comes down to, then so be it. It’s only one hundred and twenty-five dragons. I could take them all on by myself.”

“My dear Prince Muria, wait a little while, really, if I can’t resolve it, you can step in, okay? Violence can’t solve all problems.”

“That just means you’re not strong enough.” Muria replied. This was the Titan way of handling things: no matter what the problem, one punch should do it. If one punch isn’t enough, then throw a second.

“Play around in my semi-plane for a while!” Gladys did not want to hear anymore from Muria, “The scenery in my semi-plane is decent. If I can’t settle the negotiations, I’ll inform you then.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the jade plate in Muria’s hand swiftly returned to its original state. No matter how hard Muria urged it, there was no response.

“Hmph, this little princess, not letting me talk to the Dragon Princess. My negotiation skills are excellent, you know?”

Muria disapprovingly gazed at the Black Lion at her feet with its bat-like wings and scorpion tail, which was currently shivering.

“Are they not?” Muria kicked the Scorpion Lion, which was large enough to swat her away with a single paw.

“Y…yes.” The Gold Rank Scorpion Lion, glancing at the Black Mamba Giant Snake that Muria had stepped on, confirmed in the Dragon Language while trembling.

“Hmph, this little black cat isn’t that well-behaved at all,” Muria glanced at the shivering Scorpion Lion that began to shed its fur from nervousness, and muttered discontentedly, “My negotiation skills are clearly exceptional!”
