Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

"Lin Yuan, you’re back!"

"How did it go?" Elder Bai asked eagerly upon seeing Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan replied with a smile, "Everything’s settled, we can form an alliance with the Void Race."

"This isn’t the place to talk, let’s go back first and discuss it later."

"If we delay any longer, it won’t be easy to explain if this guy wakes up."

As Lin Yuan spoke, he lifted up the ambassador from the Void Race he was carrying.

"Indeed!"

"Indeed!"

Everyone agreed in unison, making way for Lin Yuan.

After entering the great hall, Lin Yuan instructed Elder Bai to return the ambassador of the Void Race to his guest room. Once he woke up, he would be brought to see him.

About an hour later, the ambassador from the Void Race woke up.

Upon waking, he saw Elder Bai sipping tea beside him.

"You’re awake!"

"Lin Yuan has already made a decision, but seeing how deeply you were sleeping, we didn’t want to wake you."

"Now that you’re awake, come with me to see Lin Yuan!" Elder Bai said to the ambassador from the Void Race.

Initially, the ambassador from the Void Race was wondering why he had dozed off for no apparent reason.

But upon hearing Elder Bai say that Lin Yuan had made a decision, he instantly dismissed the thought.

Now, there was no time to dwell on such trivial matters.

"The decision is made!"

"I wonder, this decision..." the ambassador from the Void Race asked cautiously, his eyes intensely observing Elder Bai, filled with a plea.

Clearly, he was hoping Elder Bai would leak some insider information to him.

Since the decision was already made, doing him this favor wouldn’t hurt.

After all, every bitter pill needs a sweet chaser, right?

Elder Bai’s face broke into a kind smile and he replied, "It should be the result you’re hoping for."

Upon hearing this, the ambassador from the Void Race was overjoyed, almost jumping up to embrace Elder Bai.

At that moment, the ambassador from the Void Race wished he could slap himself.

Why did he idle away his time sleeping!

If his sleeping had caused the esteemed Lord of Heaven and Earth to wait impatiently and change his mind, he would’ve regretted it bitterly.

"Elder Bai, please lead the way!"

"Let’s hurry, we mustn’t keep the esteemed Lord of Heaven and Earth waiting!" The ambassador from the Void Race said humbly.

Soon, Elder Bai escorted the ambassador from the Void Race to Lin Yuan’s presence.

"I heard the ambassador was sleeping soundly?" Lin Yuan opened with a question.

The reason Lin Yuan opened with this question was to probe whether the ambassador from the Void Race had any subconscious memory of his unconscious journey to the Underworld.

After hearing Lin Yuan’s words, the ambassador from the Void Race felt a bit awkward.

The ambassador was quite clever; following a moment of awkwardness, he began to lament: "Esteemed Lord of Heaven and Earth, you wouldn’t know, our Void Race has been endlessly pursued by the Demon Lord and Buddha’s disciples for days, we’ve been on the run constantly."

"A weary body in such a peaceful environment would naturally want to rest."

Listening to the ambassador’s account, it seemed he truly had no recollection of his trip to the Underworld.

While Lin Yuan was pondering this, the ambassador from the Void Race said again with a confused expression: "Perhaps it’s because I haven’t slept this deeply in a long time, but for some reason, my whole body aches."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.

Aches!

Aches indeed!

Being carried into the Underworld like a New Year’s pig by Black and White Impermanence, it’s surprising you’re not aching all over!

Anyone would be sore.

Since the ambassador from the Void Race had no memory of his trip to the Underworld.

Then, Lin Yuan saw no need to probe further.

"Regarding the alliance, after careful consideration, I can begrudgingly agree."

"Mainly, I’m too kind-hearted and can’t bear to see your Void Race suffer such calamity."

"Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and Buddha—they’ve gone too far. There’s no sense in eradicating people completely!" Lin Yuan displayed his Oscar-worthy acting skills.

Lin Yuan’s performance quickly resonated with the ambassador from the Void Race, who "thud" knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Lin Yuan: "Lord of Heaven and Earth is merciful, Lord of Heaven and Earth is merciful!"

"The virtues of the Lord of Heaven and Earth will surely be remembered by our Void Race."

Witnessing this, Elder Bai chimed in supportively: "The Void Race is so miserable, we should indeed help them seek revenge."

Upon hearing Elder Bai’s words, Lin Yuan had an idea, glaring at Elder Bai fiercely, he scolded: "Reward?"

"What reward are you talking about? We help our allies seek revenge, how can we ask for a reward?"

Elder Bai: "?????"

Elder Bai was puzzled, thinking to himself, what reward, I didn’t mention a reward, I said a reward.

Elder Bai thought, you want a reward, but you make me the scapegoat, I’m more wronged than Dou E!

Lin Yuan’s words moved the ambassador from the Void Race to tears.

The ambassador from the Void Race thought, the Lord of Heaven and Earth is a good person! No relation to us, yet willing to help without asking for anything in return.

If he doesn’t want it, we must give it!

"Esteemed Lord of Heaven and Earth, rest assured, we’ll definitely provide the necessary reward."

"The reward will be ten times today’s gift, it won’t be less!" the ambassador from the Void Race vowed sincerely.

As soon as the ambassador from the Void Race finished speaking, a servant with a teapot entered.

"Three cups!" Elder Bai pointed out, referring to the three teapots.

Meaning, one cup for each of the three people.

Hearing Elder Bai’s words, Lin Yuan’s eyes rolled, and he snapped, "Three times?"

"What three times!"

"They are willing to give ten mountains of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures as a reward, and you’re still asking them for three times more."

"Elder Bai, it’s not my place to say, but at your age, how can you be so greedy!"

"Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, after all, are external things. Having allied, we are all allies, even if they are willing to give three times more, I can’t accept it!"

Elder Bai: "???????"

Elder Bai: "WT************"

Elder Bai thought, please, act like a decent person!

I’m not young anymore, and you keep throwing all the blame on me!

The ambassador from the Void Race, seeing Lin Yuan scolding Elder Bai, immediately stepped forward to mediate: "Lord of Heaven and Earth, please don’t be angry, don’t be angry."

"Three times, just three times."

"You’re right, these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are all external things."

"Having you treat our Void Race this way, how could we care about mere external things?"

Hearing the ambassador from the Void Race’s words, Lin Yuan was a bit stunned.

What’s going on?

How come there was no haggling process, did I ask for too little?

People experienced in bargaining know, it’s not hard to start with a high price and negotiate.

But when you offer a seemingly reasonable price, and they immediately agree,

it leaves you uncomfortable for quite a few days.
