My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Hearing Lou Mu Yan’s completely unabashed statement for the Grand Elders of the temporary alliance to prepare double the materials and spiritual stones, the Sword Deities present were all dazed.

Inwardly, they had a favourable feeling towards her frankness, but there was it was very difficult to connect this current genial and straightened woman to the one who was so resolute in killing the devil army earlier.

“Fellow Cultivator Lou, why don’t you give me a list of the materials and spiritual stones consumed and I will send it back to the alliance to ask the Grand Elders to prepare them as soon as possible.” The high-level Sword Deities said with a smile.

Lou Mu Yan nodded, took out a Communication Talisman and handed it to him, then said: “I’ve prepared it already. In addition to the materials and spiritual stones consumed earlier, there are also the materials and spiritual stones Chi Xiu and I need for refining the array tools required to build the arrays at the four fronts.”

It was precisely because the superiors of the temporary alliance promised her and Ming Xiu that they would bear all the costs, that she came up with such a crude, vulgar, and money consuming but very useful means of using array balls and tossing talismans to fight the enemy.

“Yes, I’ll send it back immediately.” The man took it and sent it back without checking.

Lou Mu Yan knew that there were projection arrays set up at each front and the devil race also carried crystal balls for transmitting recordings, so the previous battle wasn’t only watched by the superiors of the human side, but the Third Holy Maiden must’ve seen the battle before Mo San died too.

She thought about it, then smiled ever so sweetly towards the position of the projection array, and said: “Several Grand Elders, my spirit pets are the main force for destroying the devil army, but they’re slightly picky eaters, only eating pills above grade 6 and spiritual stones above middle-quality.

“But it’s a pity that I’m too poor to afford this expense.” Then she shrugged innocently and continued: “Since that’s the case, I can only contribute power and you contribute money! After all, if they fight passively, it’ll affect the entire state of war.”

“…”

The top officials of the Continental Alliance who were watching the projection through the crystal ball twitched their lips when they saw Lou Mu Yan being such a blatant rogue.

They didn’t miss Chi Xiu’s unrestrained behaviour when he tossed all those spiritual stones out, as if he didn’t care. With such a rich tyrant as a dual cultivation partner, just who’d believe you saying you’re poor!

Moreover, what did she mean her spirit pets were picky eaters, only eating pills above grade 6 and spiritual stones above middle-quality—even they didn’t have such treatment….

“Cough cough…” The Grand Elder of the Sword Sect coughed dryly and said with a shy smile: “This girl uses a bit too much to raise her spirit pets, no?”

He sure didn’t miss the part where Lou Mu Yan fed all the spirit pets grade 7 pills earlier after destroying the devil legions.

This stinky prodigal girl really made their hearts hurt!

“If she isn’t prodigal, can she raise spirit pets that could destroy a huge devil race legion in one breath?”

Ancestor Tian Xuan’s rule was to always stand on the side of his precious disciple and scam these old things to death together, “Isn’t it just some higher quality spiritual herbs and spiritual stones, you lot can all just slip some through between your fingers and it’d be enough for my stinky girl to feed her spirit pets.”

“…” The several strongest beings on this continent present had the urge to bash someone.

With so many high-level spiritual herbs and spiritual stones, even the gaps between their ten fingers weren’t enough alright?”

“Tian’xuan, that’s not right of you now. Although we have some wealth, but it’s not enough to give to your precious disciple to feed to her spirit pets!” The Grand Elder of the Vast Mountain Sect said stingily.

He had only seen one spirit beast master who fed their spirit pets with grade 6 or 7 pills and spiritual stones above middle quality in his entire life—Lou Mu Yan this one prodigal girl.

Others nodded one after the other: “You should also persuade Lou girl, it’s not good to be prodigal, be careful Chi Xiu won’t be able to support her in the future.”

“So what about being prodigal?” Ancestor Tian Xuan huffed and blew his beard, “It’s good to be able to be prodigal, what do you lot know. Only if you’re prodigal can you earn money, and my girl doesn’t care to be raised by others.

“One word, will you give spiritual herbs and spiritual stones or not.” Ancestor Tian Xuan said crazily, domineeringly, and proudly: “You lot also know that without spiritual herbs to refine pills, stinky girl’s spirit pets wouldn’t have the strength to battle; no spiritual stones to refine, the Scarlet Bee colony will also be sluggish. If you don’t give, then whatever, we don’t really care about the things from you lot.”

“…” The ancestors had a newfound understanding of just how shameless Ancestor Tian Xuan could be.

This was simply talking nonsense with his eyes wide open—a shameless threat!

Not care for their things—why do you Master and disciple speak so hypocritically.

But for the safety of Tian’ling Continent, they had to give it. When thinking about it, not only did their heart ache, but even their flesh felt as if it began to hurt!

“What’re you all in pain for! Just let those empires nd clans pay some protection fees, especially the clans with mineral veins. If you want to be safe, you’ve got to use money to eliminate disasters.” Ancestor Tian Xuan gave the several people a look as if they were truly stupid, “Why pay for it yourself?”

Of course, after scamming spiritual stones from those empires and distinguished clans, these old things wouldn’t be able to run away either—but they’d take it slow. Them two Master and Disciple loved to cast long lines to catch big fish.

After hearing his words, the others’ eyes lit up and they suddenly felt that Tian Xuan, this decrepit old thing, finally said something useful.

Why do they have to work their ass off, not only consuming their energy and spirit, but also their spiritual items and spiritual stones!

Of course they couldn’t be the only ones who are potentially stupid spenders. Those empires and clans that were sheltered by them should pay the protection fee, otherwise, just like how Lou Mu Yan dealt with those ingrates of Yan’zhou Kingdom, they should all scram out of the shelter of the array.

Soon, the superiors of the alliance reached an agreement, not only assigning the items on the materials list sent by Lou Mu Yan to the empires and clans of the four regions to share…

But also asked them to fully pay for the spiritual stones for Lou Mu Yan’s spirit pets to eat to their fill, and the spiritual herbs for refining pills.

Those empires and distinguished clans couldn’t care about their hearts aching right now. After all, spiritual herbs and spiritual stones were all superficial. If the devils invaded the entire Continent, not only would they lose their lives, but wouldn’t these things benefit their enemies.

They were all more than eager to satisfy Lou Mu Yan, this little grandaunt as much as possible. Even if they knew that she was extorting them, they could only cry inwardly, while outwardly, they had to wear a ‘please take as much advantage of us as possible’ smile and send everything over for her spirit pets to enjoy.

When those spirit pets are happy, their safety was a little more guaranteed.

In particular, the high-level Sword Masters of the other three regional fronts actively went to help the temporary alliance to collect protection money for Lou Mu Yan after hearing of it. They only hoped that the little grandaunt would rush over to help them suppress the great pressuring mountain, that is the devil race army, after seeing the abundance of spiritual stones.

Don’t think that Tian’ling Continent was only a small, medium-sized interface, with a lack of spiritual force—they still had a lot of spiritual veins, so huge numbers of spiritual stones were mobilised and given to Lou Mu Yan through Su Jin as the representative.

Of course, the empires and distinguished clans couldn’t gather many high-level spiritual herbs, so Ancestor Tian Xuan did a great job of scamming many grade 7 spiritual herbs from various Ancestors of the Sects and major forces to give to Su Jin to send to Lou Mu Yan together.

Lou Mu Yan didn’t know that her extortion would be so successful, and those people were so eager to give her more spiritual stones—as such, she’d be able to put all her heart to doing what she needed to right?

Safety was the number one priority. If one had their life, they wouldn’t be afraid of being unable to re-accumulate their clan’s wealth. Moreover, the foundation gathered throughout so many years didn’t come uselessly. The spiritual stones given to Lou Mu Yan wouldn’t really touch their roots.

Of course, this was also one of the reasons why Lou Mu Yan had no scruples about extorting. She didn’t plan on having all the major forces and empires become paupers from one war—that would cause public outrage.

Those people obediently took the initiative to send spiritual stones right now, and they were filled with gratitude. This was the appropriate way.

With the long-term influence of the Lou Clan, Lou Mu Yan still had some feelings for this Continent, otherwise she wouldn’t have done her best to salvage the outcome.

After the battle, apart from Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu, no one noticed that there were inconspicuous silver bells lying on the ground that had been quietly taken by Bing Ji using his spatial power.
