I'm in Tokyo, caught in the clutches of the demon princess.

"Big sister, who are you?"

The eldest sister raised her hand and pointed at Feng Zejian, who was wearing a mask.

Feng Zejian found it somewhat unbelievable and changed his voice to make it lower and hoarse.

"me."

"Ah."

Everyone looked at Feng Zejian.

White Wolf was also somewhat looking forward to hearing what Feng Zejian would say, since judging from their previous conversation, Feng Zejian seemed to have his own understanding.

"Since my older sister asked me to speak, I will share my understanding of this matter."

"First of all, both sides' intentions are very clear. This side is after the power of the demon sword, but doesn't want to make any sacrifices."

"On the other hand, they don't want to lose too much either. It's really a matter of their respective positions."

"Let me correct this problem first."

The wind and sway face the human side.

"You think you have the upper hand, which is fine, and it's also fine to exert pressure in negotiations. But you haven't grasped the right balance. If you were facing a human or a monster, you might have given in, but you're facing a knife. A knife can only break, not bend."

"That's why even if the other party is rational, they will choose not to do what you want."

"This pure land for knives was not created by you, but by this woman, the one everyone calls the eldest sister. The promises you made to everyone are nowhere to be seen."

"The knives here are not benevolent, just like you, you did not come with friendly intentions."

The changes in the expressions of the human side were visible to the naked eye.

"You are all from prominent families and are outstanding young talents on the human side. I imagine none of you are very happy right now."

"But before you get angry, please let me finish what I have to say."

"As both sides said, the reason we're sitting here is that none of us are here to fight to the death."

"Although humans have the advantage in the negotiation, in terms of supply and demand, humans are the ones who need it."

"So, let's break the existing pattern and rebuild a new framework, and negotiate on an equal footing. What do you all think?"

The eldest sister said calmly, "Okay."

The middle-aged man nodded. "No problem."

“Alright, since this was my suggestion, how about I preside over this fair transaction?”

Both remained silent. "Then I'll take that as a yes."

"Since this is an equal transaction, both sides should benefit. For the human side, what they want is the power here to arm themselves. Am I right about that?"

"Hmm," the middle-aged man replied.

"As for the Thousand Blades Pavilion, they don't want to betray their colleagues to obtain the so-called stability you provide. So let's change our approach and rent instead of selling."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

The eldest sister had a faint smile on her lips.

"interesting."

"There is absolutely no need for the Thousand Blades Pavilion and the forces behind you to be enemies; on the contrary, you can achieve a good cooperative relationship."

Chapter 359 Rent a Knife

"By lending out the demon sword, firstly, you gain power, and the Thousand Blades Pavilion doesn't have to betray its comrades. Also, the act of lending it out can bring substantial benefits to the Thousand Blades Pavilion. And the temporary user won't have to worry about being retaliated against because of the demon sword's dissatisfaction. Without this kind of vigilance, your combat power will be greatly enhanced in battle."

"It can also subtly prevent the demon sword from rejecting the user, and even allow feelings to develop during shared battles. Once feelings are developed, as long as the demon sword itself is willing, according to the rules here, it won't need to be rented."

"Moreover, this is only a preliminary cooperation. You can only contact the lower-level members of the Thousand Blades Pavilion. If this cooperation goes well and both parties are satisfied, will the next cooperation be more in-depth?"

"The top-tier demon swords here are not limited to those in front of you. If you could rent a top-tier demon sword, you should have a good idea of ​​how much it would improve your strength."

"The benefits are significant for both sides."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man asked without hesitation, "What is rent? Tell me."

"First, of course, is safety and stability. Second, there's money. Money can do a lot of things. Finally, there's the Thousand Blades Pavilion's occasional needs."

"As for the terms of the loan, the division of responsibilities between the two parties needs to be drafted in detail."

"I don't think these should be a problem for you."

The human side began to hesitate.

Several adults with decision-making power exchanged glances and discussed among themselves.

Feng Zejian directly added fuel to the fire.

"I still want to advise you all to have a longer-term vision and a broader perspective. If you cooperate with our Thousand Blades Pavilion, you will never be the ones who suffer losses."

This statement was like a reassurance to the human side.

"We agree. As long as we are willing to cooperate, nothing will be a problem."

As the middle-aged man said, Feng Zejian's request was both excessive and not excessive.

Renting a knife comes at a cost, and a significant one at that, but they are perfectly willing to accept it.

They could certainly force the Thousand Blades Pavilion to comply, but the consequence of such coercion might be that the Demon Blade would sabotage them in the actual battle.

If that's really the case, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But renting is different. You're good, I'm good, everyone's good. You don't have to worry, and you can even maintain good relationships.

Taking this potential value into account, even a high price is justified.

Feng Zejian looked at his eldest sister and bowed slightly.

What do you mean?

The eldest sister was thinking for a moment, and her thoughtful expression was quite charming.

"Let's do it your way."

The eldest sister's words brought a sigh of relief to everyone.

This is arguably the best result Feng Zejian could achieve.

Whether it's for the human side or the Thousand Blades Pavilion.

At this moment, the eldest sister said coldly, "Are you satisfied with what he said?"

The demon swords all nodded.

"satisfy."

"It is my honor to be able to end this negotiation in a way that makes everyone happy."

The eldest sister stood up and looked at Feng Zejian.

"You, come with me. The rest of you don't need me to tell you what to do."

As soon as the two left, Red Scorpion suddenly sprang up and struck Lei Ming in the stomach with a sudden movement.

A flash of thunder and he was sent flying backward.

"Kid, I hate you the most out of all these people, and you still dare to choose me."

Lei Ming looked miserable.

Neither the demon sword nor the humans acted as if they had seen anything.

From now on, this is their private matter, and they are not allowed to interfere in any way, neither in terms of rules nor principles.

And as long as you don't die, getting a little injured is no big deal.

Most importantly, the two sides are currently in a honeymoon period, so they should make concessions if necessary.

Feng Zejian arrived at his eldest sister's room.

The eldest sister's room, just like her appearance, was quite stylish.

Both the arrangement of the items and the selection of potted plants and furniture are quite good.

Even those who don't know much about it think it's great.

Indeed, beauty and aesthetic sense are ingrained in one's very being.

At this moment, the eldest sister suddenly turned around and looked at Feng Zejian.

"name."

Feng Zejian was stunned for a moment.

"Big sister, my name is Feng Zejian."

“I know, I mean my name.”

Feng Zejian tilted his head, looking quite puzzled.

"I don't think I know your name either."

"Get me one."

The people in Fengze were dumbfounded.

What's going on? What have I done to deserve this honor?

"Big sister, although my performance just now was really good, it didn't deserve this. I am not worthy of the honor of being named after you. This is just what I should do."

Feng Zejian was practically kneeling down and kowtowing.

"What are you saying? You've conquered me, so naturally you have the right to name me."

Feng Zejian froze on the spot.

"Really? I don't remember that."

The eldest sister turned her back to Feng Zejian and took off her clothes.

Feng Zejian looked at that beautiful bare back and swallowed hard.

On its white back was a blue character "间" (jian).

"see it."

"I saw it."

"What do you see? So white, so beautiful."

"And what else?"

"There's one more word."

"What is it?"

"between."

Immediately, the older sister put the clothes back on.

"Do you understand now?"

Feng Zejian nodded.

"understood."

So, what is my name?

Looking at the woman before him, who, like the red spider lily, represented both beauty and death.

Calling it Manjusaka directly seems a bit off.

That's called the Red Spider Lily, but it doesn't seem quite right. The other shore?

Feng Zejian still felt uneasy.

Suddenly, Feng Zejian thought of something.

"What do you think of the name 'Wangchuan'?"

"Wangchuan... Alright."

"My name is Wangchuan."
