Chapter 585: Jiang Rou: If I Become Your Woman, Give Me the Blade!

Chen Ye had thought of many ways to deal with that blade. Like threatening it...

Obviously, while Wonders had spirits, threats only worked if the target was alive, right?

Beating it up?

It was a blade. How could you punch it?

The blade probably wouldn't care anyway!

If he treated the blade like a person, the problem would be much easier to solve.

But clearly, the blade wasn't a person.

It was just a blade.

Of course, that didn't mean Chen Ye had no methods at all.

It was just that some methods, Chen Ye wasn't so keen on using.

After all, forcibly picked fruit wasn't sweet.

Though it could quench thirst, a fruit that wasn't sweet just wasn't sweet.

These past few days, Jiang Rou had never given up trying to get the blade from Chen Ye.

But Sun Xixi's presence made Jiang Rou somewhat wary.

According to Jiang Rou, in the entire base, there were only two people she feared: one was Hou Junji of the Silent Council, and the other was Sun Xixi of the Fair Convoy.

As for Chen Ye...

Before they actually fought, no one knew where his combat limits were.

And Sun Xixi of the Sword Immortal Sequence posed the most direct threat to Jiang Rou.

This was the intuition of an ancient martial artist Sequence user.

It was also because of Sun Xixi's presence that even someone as domineering as Jiang Rou hadn't chosen to directly take the blade from Chen Ye by force.

Jiang Rou was hot-tempered, but she wasn't stupid.

She also knew that if she forcibly took it, without a good opportunity and without a hundred percent certainty, she would definitely face full-scale retaliation from the Fair Convoy.

Even if she could withstand it alone.

Could the others in her Shepherd Convoy withstand it?

Rashly starting an all-out war with another convoy was never a wise choice.

However, Jiang Rou and Sun Xixi had probably fought at least once in these two days.

It just wasn't seen by anyone else.

As for who won or lost, when Chen Ye asked Sun Xixi, the little girl didn't say.

Chen Ye guessed they had fought to a draw, both probably suffering some small losses.

"Chen Ye, give me the blade, and I'll give you three thousand Silent Gold Coins, how about that?"

While Chen Ye was pondering how to deal with the blade and make it submit,

Jiang Rou came again.

This time, Jiang Rou was clearly somewhat prepared.

A bag of Silent Gold Coins hung in Jiang Rou's hand, while her other hand gripped the slender sword hilt at her waist.

Jiang Rou just stood there in front of the Fair Convoy's camp, her long legs forming a perfect V-shape like a capital A.

Seeing Jiang Rou's arrival, the others in the convoy were all a bit nervous.

Ordinary people simply retreated into their camp tents, pretending nothing was happening.

These past few days, the Fair Convoy had been calling in friends.

And Jiang Rou... she had been fighting everyone, one after another.

Anyway, many people in the camp had been beaten up by Jiang Rou.

It was said that even Elder Hou Junji had sparred with Jiang Rou.

Elder Hou had even thought about recruiting Jiang Rou into the Silent Council.

Chen Ye looked at the bag of coins.

He did want them, but if he traded them for the blade, Chen Ye felt it would be somewhat of a loss.

Jiang Rou was willing to offer this price, proving the blade was definitely worth more than three thousand gold coins.

Chen Ye chuckled and shook his head, then turned to Xu Lina beside him and said, "Go see if Miss Sun is around!"

Xu Lina gave Jiang Rou a deep look, then turned around on her long legs to find Sun Xixi.

Jiang Rou's face darkened, and she said coldly, "Chen Ye, you're a grown man hiding behind a woman. Aren't you embarrassed?"

"Are you even a man?"

Chen Ye laughed cheerfully, looking completely unconcerned. "Whether I'm a man or not, why do you care?"

Normally, if a man was asked that by a woman, he'd definitely crack a dirty joke to prove himself.

But Chen Ye had zero interest in Jiang Rou.

This woman was pretty to look at, but she was way too violent.

Jiang Rou took a deep breath.

Just then, not far away, Sun Xixi appeared on top of a vehicle, her Fire Dragon Sword resting between her legs.

The pink-haired girl just glanced over briefly, then closed her eyes and began to meditate.

Jiang Rou glanced at Sun Xixi and took another deep breath.

Then she said again, "Chen Ye, give me the blade. Name your own terms!"

"That blade isn't suitable for you!"

"I know your Sequence. Your abilities aren't close-combat related. Holding that blade is useless!"

Clearly, this was information Jiang Rou had gathered from other sources.

There were plenty of survivors from Oasis, and there were also convoys in the base that had escaped from Oasis before.

Chen Ye wasn't angry either, just shrugged. "That's none of your business. The blade was given to me, so it's mine now!"

Jiang Rou said seriously, "Chen Ye, before Ding Shen died, he must have told you..."

"Stop, don't use that to pressure me. It won't work!"

"Ding Shen is Ding Shen, and I'm me! We have no relationship!"

"You..."

"What about me?"

"You're so shameless!"

"Heh... I'll take that as a compliment!"

"You holding that blade is like occupying a toilet and not sh—"

"I just like occupying the toilet..."

Chen Ye's back-and-forth with Jiang Rou made her so furious that smoke practically came out of her seven orifices. Her hand had already gripped the sword hilt.

But after glancing at Sun Xixi not far away, she let go.

Jiang Rou closed her eyes and took several deep breaths.

When she opened them again, there was more determination in her gaze. Whatever she wanted, she would get it no matter what.

"Chen Ye, how can we trade? Name your conditions, and I'll try my best to meet them!"

Chen Ye thought for a moment. "A Wonder ranked in the top hundred!"

Jiang Rou fell silent.

She was silent!

That silence of hers directly stunned Chen Ye.

Wait, she actually didn't refuse?!

That meant she was thinking about it?!

Holy crap!

That meant, in Jiang Rou's heart, a top-hundred-ranked Wonder was comparable to that blade!

What the hell...

Chen Ye's breathing became a little rapid.

Could that blade really be a top-hundred Wonder?

How... was that possible?

Sensing Chen Ye's rapid breathing, Jiang Rou seemed to snap back to reality, then gave him what looked like a contemptuous glance.

"Impossible!"

Her voice was very firm.

At the same time, she was secretly on guard in her heart.

This one-eyed bastard had incredibly sharp perception.

She had only hesitated for a moment, and he had clearly guessed a lot.

This one-eyed guy looked stupid, but he had way too many schemes. She'd have to keep her wits about her dealing with him.

Chen Ye just chuckled and said nothing.

Jiang Rou was silent for over ten seconds, then suddenly said, "Chen Ye, what if I become your woman, and you give me the blade?"
