Chapter 36 Su Yi: I need to pay more!

He Xi raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised by Su Yi's frankness, but more amused.

"Oh? So, you think it's reasonable to analyze other people's energy models and techniques without permission?"

Her tone was unreadable, but an invisible pressure was palpable.

"Your Highness, you flatter me."

Su Yi put down his cup and spread his hands. "I was just passively receiving information that naturally dissipated from the outside world."

"It's like standing in the sun; you naturally feel warmth, you can't blame the sun for shining, can you?"

"Moreover, given your level, if you really wanted to prevent me from seeing it, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to detect even the slightest trace."

He cleverly positioned himself as a passive recipient while simultaneously giving He Xi a helping hand.

After hearing Su Yi's explanation, He Xi gave a soft hum.

"Clever words and a flattering expression!"

"Passive reception? Your reception efficiency is probably even higher than the treasure trove of knowledge of Holy Keisha, isn't it?"

"Yan's report explains it very clearly: you met Reina once and were able to simulate her Star Drive technology and her abilities! You saw Hannibal fight Yan and were able to optimize your own combat model. This ability is not just as simple as passively receiving information."

She directly pointed out the terrifying nature of Su Yi's learning ability.

Upon hearing this, Su Yi shrugged and did not deny it.

In the face of someone like He Xi, excessive pretense only seems ridiculous.

"So, what does the Heavenly King intend to do with me, this thief?"

He simply threw the question back at him, still wearing that enigmatic smile.

He Xi looked at him, and a stream of data seemed to flash deep within her icy blue eyes.

She remained silent for a few seconds, seemingly weighing her options, or perhaps observing Su Yi's reaction.

The restaurant was so quiet that only Yan's heavy breathing could be heard.

Finally, He Xi spoke again, her tone returning to its previous languidness, even carrying a hint of mischief.

"Dispose of? I never said I was going to dispose of you. After all, like you said, I made myself shine so you could see me."

She then changed the subject, "However, it's still a bit impolite to learn something without permission. In our angelic etiquette, if you do something wrong, you should always show some kind of remorse, right?"

coming!

Su Yi understood; he knew the main point was about to be made.

"What does the Heavenly King want me to do?"

He asked cooperatively.

He Xi leaned forward slightly, one hand supporting her cheek, the other tapping the table as if deep in thought.

"Hmm... let me think. A punishment that's too harsh won't make me seem petty. A punishment that's too lenient won't be fun..."

'

Her gaze swept over Su Yi, finally settling on his hair.

"How about this?"

She extended her long, slender, fair finger and pointed at Su Yi from a distance.

Give me a single hair from your head.

"Consider it tuition for learning from me without my permission, how about that?"

Her tone was relaxed and casual, as if she were simply asking for a piece of candy.

But these words struck Yan like a thunderbolt!

Do you want Su Yi's hair?

Genetic samples?!

So, the Heavenly King came for this very reason!

Yan held her breath instantly, her heart pounding.

She stole glances at Su Yi, wondering how he would react.

Is it to accept it calmly?

Or should we refuse outright?

Hannibal's eyes instantly sharpened as he stared at He Xi. Although his body didn't move, dark energy had already begun to flow subtly.

Lord Rhine instructed us to protect the King.

If the king is unwilling, even if the opponent is He Xi, he will not hesitate to draw his sword and fight!

Even if it means dying in battle, he will defend the king's dignity!

Su Yi's smile froze for a moment when He Xi uttered the word "hair".

But then, the smile slowly bloomed again, even more radiant than before.

He didn't answer immediately, but slowly picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth.

Then, he leaned back in his chair with a relaxed air and met He Xi's icy blue eyes, which seemed to see right through people.

"So, the Heavenly King went through all this trouble just for this?"

His voice was soft, with a hint of understanding.

He thought the angels had long forgotten about it.

After all, the other side has not made any moves since Yan's failed sneak attack last time.

I never expected that I would dig a hole for him here.

However, his genetic sample is not so easy to obtain!

"Want my hair? Sure."

"But it will cost extra."

His tone was resolute, a stark contrast to his previous lazy and casual demeanor.

Yan was stunned.

This guy actually tried to bargain with the Heavenly King?

More money?

Does he know who is sitting opposite him?

Hannibal's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Wang was not intimidated by the other party's momentum; instead, he took the initiative in the negotiations.

A hint of surprise flashed in He Xi's icy blue eyes, which then turned into even greater interest.

She looked at Su Yi with great interest, as if she were looking at a novel work of art.

"Oh? So, what do you think your genetic sample is worth?"

Su Yi held up a finger and waved it in front of He Xi, saying clearly and slowly, "A resource package sufficient to support my advancement to a third-generation divine body!"

Resource pack for advancing to the third-generation divine body?

The moment this price was uttered, even the well-informed He Xi raised an eyebrow slightly.

Yan gasped in shock.

This guy really dares to speak up!

It should be noted that in the entire known universe, there are very few beings who have become gods.

This shows that its value is absolutely immeasurable!

Hannibal was also taken aback.

Wang's asking price is simply outrageous!

But he quickly realized that Su Yi was testing him and also showing his attitude: my genes are valuable and not something that can be easily fooled.

After hearing Su Yi's offer, He Xi chuckled softly.

The laughter was like the swaying of wind chimes, clear and melodious.

"Little guy, you're quite good at waiting for the right price."

She shook her head, her tone tinged with helplessness and a hint of irony.

"Too bad, your plan is probably going to fall through. I'm not that rich woman Keisha, carrying around a civilization's resource library with me wherever I go."

"I'm just a poor scholar doing research. The most valuable thing I have is probably myself."

She shrugged, looking like she couldn't help.

"I don't have the third-generation divine body resource package you requested. Even if I did, given our current positions, I couldn't possibly give it to you. After all, what if you become an enemy of the angels in the future? Wouldn't I be aiding the enemy?"

Her words were so direct and honest that it made it impossible for anyone to get angry.

Upon hearing this, Su Yi showed a regretful expression and shrugged.

"Well, there's nothing I can do then, King Tianji. Business is all about mutual consent. Since you can't offer me the price I want, this deal naturally falls through."

"It seems I'll have to pay back the tuition fees slowly in another way."
