StarCraft: The Extinction Commander is completely smitten.

Chapter 84 [084] Keeping them in suspense
"Yes, yes, could the Holy Mother be so kind as to sell us some?"

"Such fine wine is truly unique in the entire galaxy."

Lu Zhan looked at the Holy Mother with fervent eyes. The more he looked, the more he understood why even the proud and aloof Xia Lanling could fall for the Holy Mother.

From the moment he met the Holy Mother, her affection for the beastmen was overflowing.

Following closely behind, Tantai Huang, Helian Cheng, and Liancheng Jinheng also earnestly requested Mu Xingyue to sell them some of this fine wine.

In this way, even if they fail to achieve their goal today, they can use this opportunity to maintain regular contact with the Virgin Mary.

Mu Xingyue glanced at Xia Lanling and Pei Yi, as well as the other beastmen, and noticed that they all looked calm on the surface, but she knew that they were very nervous inside. She could sense this from the large hand that Xia Lanling was holding in hers.

"I'm sorry, there's not enough wine for even the group of us."

"You are distinguished guests from afar, which is why we have brought out this much to entertain you. We have nothing more to offer."

She refused outright, intending to whet their appetites.

Xia Lanling rolled her eyes at them, then smiled lightly, "Gentlemen, it's enough to have the chance to try it. Don't think about anything else."

"I imagine you must be tired from your journey here overnight. Now that you've had your fill of food and drink, why don't we have someone take you to a hotel to rest?"

"Tonight, the Emperor and the Holy Consort will host a banquet at the palace. You may come to the banquet and discuss other matters there, how about it?"

He suppressed the urge to kick them out; this was their home, and subconsciously, he didn't want outsiders to enter.

Tantai Huang was stunned. Xia Lanling was still as annoying as ever. He really didn't mince words; he didn't hold back at all when he said something.

"Holy Consort, Emperor, I truly believe that your manor is absolutely amazing!"

"Look at those houses, arranged in a neat and orderly fashion; the sheer number of them is beyond imagination."

"Moreover, every scene here is as enchanting as a poem or a painting, captivating people and making them unable to tear themselves away."

He quickly praised Chaoxi Manor, his eyes sparkling with envy and a hint of sincerity.

"Would we have the honor of resting at your estate for a while?"

He nodded slightly, his tone becoming increasingly humble, his attitude bordering on subservience.

Then, Tantai Huang pressed his advantage: "Besides, I am not here on behalf of the Empire, so I do not need you to give me any special or grand hospitality."

"As long as we can be given a place to stay and relax, the fatigue of the journey will be enough."

"What do you guys think?"

He went to great lengths to achieve his goal.

At this moment, Tantai Huang's gaze became deep and sharp, as if he could see through everything.

He thought to himself: If they leave Chaoxi Manor now, it will be very difficult for them to set foot on this land again in the future.

After all, this is the territory of the Holy Mother and the Emperor; how could it be a place that others can enter and leave at will?
Furthermore, if they cannot stay here, it will be impossible for them to get a close look at the Holy Mother's preferences and secretly observe her every move.

Thinking of this, Tantai Huang frowned slightly, secretly worried about whether the next plan could be implemented smoothly. Lu Zhan nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face, a smile so sincere that it was hard to refuse: "Holy Consort, Emperor, there is really no need to be so polite with me."

"My visit here is not entirely on behalf of the entire empire; it is purely out of personal desire to forge a deep friendship with the Holy Mother, the Emperor, and the Holy Mother's many beast husbands."

At this point, he frowned slightly, looking somewhat troubled, and continued, "If we were staying in a hotel, it would be quite a hassle to meet with you all, with all sorts of tedious matters keeping me occupied, which would be really inconvenient."

He looked at everyone earnestly and said sincerely, "So, would you do us the favor of letting us stay at Chaoxi Manor for a few days?"

"This will make communication smoother and more convenient for everyone."

After a brief pause, he continued speaking eloquently: "Actually, we have come here today for another important matter that we would like to discuss with the Holy Mother."

"It's about how to successfully introduce those planted green plants into our various empires."

"As you all know, this is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two. It is impossible to achieve our goal in just one or two days."

"Therefore, we hope to receive the support and assistance of the Holy Mother, the Emperor, and everyone else."

After saying that, a determined look flashed in his eyes, clearly indicating that he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Lei Ting, He Liancheng, and Liancheng Jinheng nodded repeatedly in agreement. They knew that since things had come to this point, they were being very humble.

If the Holy Mother and the Emperor do not agree, then they are too narrow-minded.

Mu Xingyue deliberately looked at Xia Lanling, Pei Yi, and the other beastmen with feigned difficulty: "This???"

She could make the decision, but she couldn't let the beastmen feel bad, so she decisively passed this difficult problem on to them.

"My dear child, you can make the decision. But where is everyone's sincerity? I haven't seen a single bit of it."

Xia Lanling smiled slightly, her eyes filled with intense love as she looked at her precious child.

Pei Yi and Feng Jue almost burst out laughing. They knew that the Emperor was responsible for digging the pit, and the little female was responsible for trapping people. In short, the two of them working together could fleece even the fattest sheep.

Lian Chengjin cursed Xia Lanling inwardly as an old fox. By setting such a trap, if they gave too much, they would look foolish and rich; if they gave too little, they would look like poor bastards, stingy and not like upright men.

However, Lian Cheng Jinheng originally prepared a very special gift to please the Holy Consort: "Holy Consort, this is a top-grade crystal core of a tenth-order ferocious beast."

"It is best enjoyed by women and will keep you young forever."

"This is my gift to you, containing 99 top-grade crystal cores. Please accept it, Holy Mother."

That was not only his gift to the Holy Mother, but also his sincere heart towards her.

Upon hearing this, everyone present, except for Mu Xingyue, gasped in shock and stared at Lian Chengjinxuan in horror.

At that moment, they truly realized that they had underestimated Lian Cheng Jin Xuan in the past; this guy's strength was already terrifyingly powerful.

The 99 crystal cores of tenth-tier ferocious beasts mean that he killed 99 tenth-tier ferocious beasts himself!
Mu Xingyue stared at the top-grade crystal core in the brocade box Lian Chengjin handed her, which was now radiating a dazzling seven-colored light. Her peach blossom eyes widened in disbelief: "This is for me? No strings attached???"

She didn't believe anyone would be so foolish, and she knew better than to accept a gift without merit. If she took someone's valuable gift without prior notice, things would become complicated once she accepted it.
