Xiao Mo raised an eyebrow, a look of amusement on his face. "So, what are you going to do then?"
It seemed that Hesydan, the lord of the Glorious Empire, was incredibly confident, believing he would surely win.
Seeing Xiao Mo's words, Hesydan felt that his own points were definitely worth considering, so he continued:
"Why don't we set something on the line? Whoever wins, gets it."
Xiao Mo inwardly found it coincidental. Fighting endlessly would just be a waste of time.
However, if there was a reward, he would certainly be very pleased.
So he said, "Alright, what is this prize? Lord Hesydan of the Glorious Empire, you tell me first."
Hesydan of the Glorious Empire then said, "How about we agree to one request from the winner, no matter what it is? Would that be acceptable?"
Xiao Mo's face showed a thoughtful expression, as if contemplating something.
Seeing Xiao Mo's reaction, Hesydan of the Glorious Empire immediately said:
"What's wrong? You're not scared, are you? The mighty lord of the Immortal Demon Empire, afraid to agree to such a small request?"
Xiao Mo smiled, appearing profoundly inscrutable.
"Lord Hesydan of the Glorious Empire, I'm not afraid. I'm just wondering, is any request acceptable?"
He paused suddenly at this point, then continued:
"What if I ask for your Glorious Empire? Will you give it then?"
Xiao Mo's words made it sound as though he was certain to win. Hesydan's face immediately darkened, clearly displeased.
"You won't win, so why are you speaking so confidently?"
Xiao Mo shrugged, looking indifferent.
"That's not necessarily true. Perhaps I will win? If I win, and I ask for your Glorious Empire, will you agree?"
Seeing Xiao Mo's calm demeanor, as if he already had victory in his grasp, Hesydan of the Glorious Empire felt a sense of unease.
"Will this guy actually win?"
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, he immediately suppressed it.
"How is that possible? This Xiao Mo is just a young brat. How could he possibly defeat the mighty me? I can't scare myself."
In truth, the moment he had this thought, he had already lost his nerve, and was no longer as forceful as before.
Now, it was Hesydan of the Glorious Empire who was in a dilemma.
Xiao Mo raised an eyebrow and threw Hesydan's earlier words back at him.
"What's wrong? You're not scared, are you? The mighty lord of the Glorious Empire, afraid to agree to such a small request?"
Provoked, Hesydan of the Glorious Empire gritted his teeth, raising his head like an attacking beast.
"Who says I'm scared?"
Xiao Mo nodded. "So, does this mean Lord Hesydan of the Glorious Empire agrees to my request?"
Hesydan of the Glorious Empire was about to say yes, but then suddenly recalled himself.
He didn't nod, but instead countered, "And you? If you lose, will you give me the Immortal Demon Empire?"
Surprisingly, Xiao Mo directly shook his head. "No, because there's no possibility of that. I won't lose. The only one who might lose is you."
Seeing Hesydan of the Glorious Empire about to get angry again, Xiao Mo continued:
"However, if by some one-in-a-trillion chance, I were to lose."
"And your request was for my Immortal Demon Empire, then I would give you the Immortal Demon Empire."
After saying this, Xiao Mo looked intently at Hesydan of the Glorious Empire.
"And you? Lord Hesydan of the Glorious Empire, will you give me your empire?"
Hesydan of the Glorious Empire was taken aback by Xiao Mo's nonchalant presence.
But whether out of caution or fear, he didn't agree to Xiao Mo's demand, instead giving an ambiguous reply:
"I don't know. The outcome hasn't been decided yet. When the time comes and we see who wins, we'll decide then."
Xiao Mo immediately gave him a look of disdain. Though he didn't say much, his meaning was clear without words.
In fact, Xiao Mo's previous words were precisely aimed at pressuring Hesydan of the Glorious Empire into agreeing to his terms.
However, Hesydan of the Glorious Empire still possessed a degree of caution and didn't agree immediately, which truly disappointed Xiao Mo.
The disappointment didn't appear on Xiao Mo's face; he hid it well.
Xiao Mo took out a divine artifact, a spare divine sword, not the king's artifact.
He felt that using the king's scepter to fight Hesydan of the Glorious Empire, who was of a lower realm, would be beneath his dignity.
Just as Xiao Mo was about to charge forward, Hesydan of the Glorious Empire called out again:
"Wait!"
Xiao Mo stopped, looking at Hesydan of the Glorious Empire impatiently, not understanding what he wanted.
"What is it now? Why are you so slow? Hurry up and fight, I have other things to do."
These words made it sound as if fighting Hesydan of the Glorious Empire was as trivial as eating or drinking.
Hesydan of the Glorious Empire was immediately unhappy again, but he didn't say much, instead speaking slowly:
"That... what you just said, it still stands, right?"
Xiao Mo was puzzled. "Which statement? Tell me which one?"
He had said so many things; he expected Hesydan of the Glorious Empire to know which statement he was referring to.
However, Hesydan of the Glorious Empire continued to stammer, as if he were too embarrassed to speak.
Xiao Mo grew impatient. "Just say it quickly! If you don't, I'll start fighting."
Hesydan of the Glorious Empire gritted his teeth and said, "Your level is higher. Don't use any weapons. Fight me with your bare hands!"
As Hesydan of the Glorious Empire finished speaking, his face actually turned red.
Moreover, the golden light on his body seemed to have faded somewhat, no longer as firm and bright.
Xiao Mo: "..."
"Didn't you just say you didn't need my concession? Why do you need it now? You're quite the turncoat!"
Hesydan of the Glorious Empire was about to say something else, but Xiao Mo waved his hand impatiently.
"Alright, alright, I agree. You don't need to say any more."
