I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2657 - 1654: Courage Beyond Bounds

Friends who do drugs often must know.

When the addiction hits, you’d agree to anything.

People with a hoarding obsession are the same.

Boss Jiang isn’t a reckless fool who acts without consideration. Every move he makes, every line he delivers, though appearing impulsive, is actually a result of careful calculation.

He knows Lan Peizhi’s temperament, just like a zookeeper knows a tiger. After being bitten a few times, you can summarize some experience.

Offering such terms is because he’s sure Lan Peizhi won’t get angry. As for whether they can reach an agreement and get the remaining beast heads, that’s something for later.

What’s wrong with talking big?

Is bragging a crime?

"Is this Dragon Chair real?"

Sacrificing the dog’s head to solve the hassle, Boss Jiang felt lighthearted and dared to get closer.

There have been so many dynasties and emperors in history; there must be more than one Dragon Chair like the one in the Forbidden City, just like there’s more than one private museum with a Dragon Robe.

But being capable of acquiring it is one thing, daring to wear it is another.

If you’re not destined for it, touching things you shouldn’t can easily incur divine retribution; history has abundant evidence of that.

Even names can’t be given randomly sometimes.

"It’s real, want to sit?"

Lan Peizhi is an honest person. Once something is received, its effect is immediate. This is a model female, unlike those gold diggers who turn on you after benefiting.

Jiang Chen shook his head immediately.

"I’m not destined to withstand it. You sit."

He circled around it, even reaching out to touch. It was much more immersive than in the Forbidden City.

Ordained by the heavens, granted eternal prosperity.

Just a chair like that, through the ages, has worn out countless heroic figures.

"Where did you get it from?"

He asked out of curiosity.

After a brief silence, Boss Jiang empathetically said, instead of giving himself an out.

"If you don’t want to say, forget it."

Having insight is useful; most others at this point would’ve been left dumbstruck.

Jiang Chen didn’t try to sit, his hand freely feeling the Dragon Chair’s armrest, of course, avoiding the "slender" arm resting there.

"Is it possible that the Imperial Jade Seal is hidden in someone’s hands, too?"

"Do you know where the Jade Seal is?"

Lan Peizhi’s eyes rippled.

Birds of a feather do flock together.

Both are bold enough to think, bold enough to speak.

Jiang Chen absentmindedly caressed the Dragon Chair, "The so-called Imperial Jade Seal, to put it plainly, is a piece of Nephrite Jade reworked and gilded after a corner chipped off, just a historical artifact. If I ever got hold of it, it would be enough to prove that my destiny has arrived. I would collect Jiuding, acquire the Kongtong Seal, wield Xuanyuan Sword, restore the title of Human Emperor, attain Primordial Dao, and eradicate all evil. I would ensure all Huaxia citizens have eight insurances and five funds standard, incorporate foot spas into health insurance, and lead the people towards glory."

Indeed.

At this moment, Lan Peizhi sat solemnly on the Dragon Chair, while he stood beside her, truly resembling an eunuch serving an Empress.

However, an eunuch surely wouldn’t dare touch the Dragon Chair.

Wait.

Who said eunuchs didn’t dare touch the Dragon Chair?

Even Empress touched it!

Wasn’t the only historical Empress famous for keeping male favorites?

Ahem.

Drifting off course.

No matter how unworthy Boss Jiang may be, he’s not comparable to eunuchs or kept men.

The humor didn’t have the expected effect, being treated as air by Lan Peizhi.

Jiang Chen changed the subject, "If I managed to get the Jade Seal, how many times could I hit?"

It’s one thing to talk big.

Are you getting addicted to it?

"Is offering myself enough?"

Indeed.

If the Imperial Jade Seal appeared, discussing how many times to hit is embarrassing.

Perspective matters!

"Really?"

Jiang Chen looked up, momentarily unsure if the other was joking.

Their eyes met.

Crimson lips parted slightly.

"You’ll know if you bring it."

Jiang Chen steeled himself, collecting his thoughts, not letting his imagination run wild. The missing beast heads were hard enough; let alone the Imperial Jade Seal.

"Have you ever had your fortune told?"

He asked.

Lan Peizhi didn’t answer.

He continued on his own: "When you joined the Old Immortal, didn’t he chat with you about such things? The first time I met him, he seemed to see through my past and present, and his expression was strange."

"What did he say?"

"He didn’t say anything."

Jiang Chen shook his head, "But you’re his disciple. Didn’t he talk to you about who you were in a past life or something?"

"Who do you think I would be?"

Boss Jiang wasn’t daunted at all, feeling no shame in showing off in front of an expert, pinching his chin and theatrically sizing up the woman on the Dragon Chair.

One would have thought he’d continue following the script, flattering her, but if he were predictable, he wouldn’t be Jiang Chen.

"I think with your character and temperament, you wouldn’t suit being an Empress. An Imperial Concubine suits you better."

"Why can’t I be an Empress?"

Lan Peizhi asked, her eyes like deep pools, unfathomable.

"An Empress needs to be motherly to the world, manage the harem; do you think you can handle these tasks? Would you even want to? Being an Empress is a learned skill. Your fighting tactics won’t work; you need to understand human relationships."

Reasonable and substantiated.

"Who taught you this? Liuli?"

Lan Peizhi queried where he learned his face-reading skills.

"Self-taught talent. Regardless of all, I have a destiny with the Daoist Sect."

"Then what suits Liuli?"

Jiang Chen pondered seriously, "Cultivator, Taoist nun."

What?

Isn’t that like saying nothing at all?

Still lacking in skill.

"Yang Yuhuan?"

Wait!

Is it Boss Jiang who lacks skill or the world that’s ignorant?

Lan Peizhi truly deserves to be a top disciple in the Taoist Sect, easily seeing through someone’s veiled mystery, revealing the truth in one line!
