148: Cede territory and pay reparations, and send your goddess to wash your feet.

The overall situation was settled.

Or rather, it was forcibly settled by Li Daoxuan with a single Fire Poker.

The scenes that followed became... extremely harmonious.

And a sight for sore eyes.

Yaochi Heavenly Palace completely transformed into a massive "reparations handover site."

Under Li Daoxuan's "kindly" gaze...

The Old Ancestor of the Golden Family, with a mournful face, was the first to open his private treasury (a Small World he carried with him), and unwillingly poured out half of his family's wealth.

"Rumble—"

A small mountain piled high with Divine Source emitted a blinding golden light.

All sorts of rare Primordial Divine Gold and Immortal Materials were piled up like trash.

There were also countless Ancient Medicine Kings tens of thousands of years old, emitting a refreshing fragrance.

"Hmm, not bad. You show sincerity."

Li Daoxuan nodded in satisfaction and, with a wave of his sleeve, swept the small mountain directly into the System space.

With the first "role model" set...

The subsequent Primordial Imperial Clans, such as Blood Phoenix Mountain and Qilin Cave, could only swallow their bitterness. They lined up one by one with mournful expressions and began to "bleed" their wealth.

The scene was even more spectacular than the "Double 11" shopping festivals of later generations.

The Kaoshan Sect was making a fortune.

Shi Tian squatted next to the mountain of treasures, his drool almost forming a river.

"Mas... Revered Master..."

He pointed at a head-sized Divine Stone that was still burning with Solar True Fire and asked stutteringly.

"Can... can I eat this?"

"Eat, eat, eat! Is that all you think about?"

Li Daoxuan rapped him on the forehead irritably. "This is a Solar Divine Stone. If you eat it, won't you turn into a human torch on the spot?"

However, seeing his Disciple's longing little eyes, Li Daoxuan's heart softened.

"Fine, fine. I'll have Fat Aunt stew it into a soup for you later."

In a great mood, his gaze swept over the representatives of the Ancient Myriad Races below, who had completely resigned themselves to their fate.

Suddenly.

His gaze paused for a moment on the Fire Qilin Cave camp.

There, a young girl wearing a red dress with a beautiful face and a fiery figure was looking at him timidly.

The girl had a pair of cute dragon horns (Qilin horns) on her head, and her large, watery eyes were filled with curiosity and... fear.

"Hmm?"

Li Daoxuan rubbed his chin.

"This girl is quite good-looking."

He beckoned to the Fire Qilin Cave Ancestral King, who was nearly fainting from grief.

"That... who, yes, you."

"Come here for a second."

The Fire Qilin Cave Ancestral King trembled all over and scrambled over.

"Lord... Lord Emperor... what... what are your orders?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking."

Li Daoxuan pointed at the girl in the red dress and asked with a "kindly" face:

"That's your family's Goddess, right?"

"She... she is this old man's worthless great-great-great... granddaughter, Fire Spirit."

"Oh, Fire Spirit. That's a nice name."

Li Daoxuan nodded and then said casually, in a conversational tone:

"I heard that the Goddesses of your Fire Qilin Clan are born with mastery over fire control, and their massage techniques are also top-notch, able to relax the muscles and relieve fatigue."

"Is... is that so?" The Fire Qilin Cave Ancestral King looked bewildered.

Our Fire Qilin Clan is a warrior race! Since when did we put skill points into "massage"?!

"Look."

Li Daoxuan pointed at his gluttonous Disciple, Shi Tian, who was still drooling nearby.

"My Disciple here was fighting and digging just now. He's been working hard for a long time and now his back and legs are aching."

"How about... letting your Goddess come over to... pound his back and massage his feet?"

"Consider it... a way to enhance the friendship between our two races."

"Pfft—"

Hearing this.

Not just the Fire Qilin Cave Ancestral King.

Everyone present almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Goddess?!"

"You want the Goddess of a Primordial Imperial Clan to... massage your Disciple's feet?!"

"Is this something a human would do?!"

"This is more insulting than killing them!"

However.

Before the Fire Qilin Cave Ancestral King could react.

Li Daoxuan added another sentence slowly.

"Of course, if you're unwilling, that's fine too."

He toyed with the Fire Poker in his hand, a "kindly" smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"I've always been very democratic. I never force anyone to do anything against their will."

"..."

The Fire Qilin Cave Ancestral King looked at the Fire Poker that could pierce through an Imperial Weapon with one strike, then at the "try me if you dare refuse" expression on Li Daoxuan's face.

His whole body shuddered.

The next second.

A fawning smile instantly appeared on his face as he shouted at his great-granddaughter, who was already dumbfounded:

"Ling'er! What are you still standing there for?!"

"To be able to pound this little hero's back is a blessing you've earned over eight lifetimes!"

"Quick! Get over there!"

"Remember, use some strength! You must satisfy the little hero!"

As he spoke, he practically pushed and shoved Fire Spirit in front of Shi Tian.

"This..."

Fire Spirit looked at the chubby boy in front of her, who was half a head shorter than her, looked a bit dim-witted, and had a trace of drool hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Then she looked at the several murderous "great gods" behind him.

Her little face turned deathly pale in an instant.

As for Shi Tian, he scratched his head with a look of utter confusion.

He looked at the older sister in front of him, who was as beautiful as a doll and had dragon horns on her head, and said somewhat awkwardly:

"Um... Revered Master..."

"I'm not tired."

"I'm just... a little hungry."

"I don't want a foot massage, I just want to eat meat."
