"Hmph, those two sisters from the Tang Family have quite the appetite, daring to wager my flower base as a bet."

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window under the cover of night, Qiu Dafeng hung up the phone. He looked out at the bustling neon lights outside, a cold smile forming at the corner of his mouth. He paused for a moment before stepping back to the dining area.

"My apologies for keeping you waiting, Miss Kaori."

Qiu Dafeng gazed at the exquisite-faced woman opposite him and said,

"Dafeng-kun, the Asakawa Clan is willing to invest one hundred million just to acquire some seeds and cultivation methods of the Fire Dance Cherry Blossoms. Dafeng-kun, surely, you can fulfill such a small request?"

Asakawa Kaori, dressed in a red gown that accentuated her curves, stared at Qiu Dafeng, who had just finished his call and returned to his seat. Her voice carried a hint of allure.

"Miss Kaori, to be honest, I can't sell you the seeds and cultivation methods of the Fire Dance Cherry Blossoms for the time being. Someone just made me a proposal for a car race, with the flower base of the Fire Dance Cherry Blossoms as the stake."

Qiu Dafeng said, noting that during the call with Tang Yingying, she specifically mentioned that if he wanted to accept the race, he couldn't sell the cherry blossom seeds and cultivation methods to the Japanese.

"Hmm?"

Asakawa Kaori's brows arched slightly, her red lips curving into a subtle smile: "Can you elaborate a bit more, Dafeng-kun?"

At this, Qiu Dafeng recounted the main points of his conversation with Tang Yingying.

"You don't necessarily have to participate in person; you can hire outside help. It seems the two sisters from the Tang Family have found a racing expert."

A glint of interest flashed in Asakawa Kaori's eyes as she smiled.

"Hmm."

Qiu Dafeng nodded once. The two sisters from the Tang Family were young but not foolish. Proposing this car race clearly indicated they were very confident.

"Dafeng-kun, what do you plan to do? Will you accept the challenge?"

Asakawa Kaori inquired, watching Qiu Dafeng intently.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Dafeng fell silent. With his character, if he didn't dare to accept the challenge, others might think he was afraid of the two Tang sisters. However, if he accepted without confidence, he wouldn't foolishly risk the flower base of the Fire Dance Cherry Blossoms.

"I wonder, Dafeng-kun, have you ever heard of Matsuboto Kono?"

Asakawa Kaori sipped her red wine, a trace of amusement playing on her seductive red lips, and asked.

"Matsuboto Kono?"

Qiu Dafeng lifted his head abruptly, a light sparking in his eyes as he focused on Asakawa Kaori: "Miss Kaori, are you referring to the world-class racer who just won the F1 World Championship this year, Matsuboto Kono?"

"Indeed, if Matsuboto Kono were to participate, does Dafeng-kun feel confident in winning?"

Asakawa Kaori nodded slightly, smiling.

"Miss Kaori, can you invite Matsuboto Kono?"

A gleam appeared in Qiu Dafeng's eyes as he fixed his gaze on Asakawa Kaori. Matsuboto Kono was a legendary figure in the Japanese racing circle.

"The Asakawa Clan still holds some influence in Japan. If Dafeng-kun requires it, I can have someone call Mr. Kono now and let him fly over tonight."

Asakawa Kaori stated.

Hearing this, a spark flickered in Qiu Dafeng's eyes. The Tang sisters had already set their stakes, and the value of this flower base was not insignificant. Naturally, he had to propose a stake of equal worth. If he could win this race, the benefits he would gain would undoubtedly be tremendous.

As for what stake to propose, Qiu Dafeng was gradually forming an idea in his mind.

"Alright, I'll leave the invitation of Matsuboto Kono to you, Miss Kaori."

Qiu Dafeng fixed his gaze on Asakawa Kaori, speaking solemnly. He wasn't one to hesitate. Once he made up his mind, he would race.

With a world-class racing champion like Matsuboto Kono participating, it seemed unlikely to lose this race. After all, Matsuboto Kono's name was renowned in the racing world, a resonant name throughout the Asian racing community.

"Dafeng-kun, if Mr. Kono can bring victory to you, what about the seeds and cultivation methods of the Fire Dance Cherry Blossoms?"

Asakawa Kaori's eyes glimmered as she smiled and said.

"If I can secure the victory, I'm willing to sell the seeds of the Fire Dance Cherry Blossoms at ten million each. The cultivation methods, I'm willing to share with you for free, Miss Kaori. Consider this offer as a token of gratitude for inviting Mr. Kono for me."

Qiu Dafeng thought for a moment and said.

Upon hearing this, a smile formed at the corners of Asakawa Kaori's red lips. The Asakawa Clan's research department only needed five seeds, meaning they only had to spend fifty million. Whether for cultivation or research, it would suffice.

"Alright, Dafeng-kun, here's to our successful cooperation. Cheers!"

Asakawa Kaori raised her wine glass.

"To successful cooperation."

Qiu Dafeng responded with a similar smile, his eyes carrying a hint of lewdness as he glanced at Asakawa Kaori, clinking glasses with her. One had to admit, this elegant Japanese woman was a rare gem.

It was clear to this Japanese woman that if the flower base fell into the hands of the Tang Family, they would never sell the seeds of the Fire Dance Cherry Blossoms. Hence, Matsuboto Kono, whom Asakawa Kaori had found, would definitely do his utmost.

Xilong Villa District, Long Family villa.

Qin Yang and the Tang sisters were having dinner with the Long Family at this time.

In the afternoon, Elder Long had consumed the Longevity Fruit, and when he appeared at the dinner table, his complexion was rosy, his energy abundant, and even the age spots on his face had faded somewhat, proving the Longevity Fruit truly had miraculous effects.

At the dinner table, everyone from the elder to the younger generation of the Long Family was very warm towards Qin Yang, clearly acknowledging him as Long Meiqing's boyfriend.

After dinner, Long Meiqing arranged a guest room for Qin Yang and the Tang sisters each.

Qin Yang sat cross-legged on the bed, holding a Spirit Stone in one hand, entering into cultivation. For a cultivator, both talent and diligence are indispensable.

An uneventful night passed.

The next morning, while Qin Yang, Long Meiqing, and the Tang sisters were having breakfast, they received a call from Qiu Dafeng.

The conversation lasted for fifteen minutes, and when it ended, Tang Yingying's face was slightly somber.

"What happened? What terms did Qiu Dafeng propose?"

Qin Yang asked.

"Hmph, that guy Qiu Dafeng proposed two conditions. The first is that one of us sisters must marry him."

A hint of anger was apparent on Tang Yingying's pretty face as she spoke.

"That guy is so shameless, expecting one of us to marry him. There's no way we'd marry that lecher."

Tang Huanhuan bit her silver teeth, fuming. Qiu Dafeng didn't have a good reputation in the upper circles.

"Of course, I wouldn't agree to that condition, and he eventually gave it up, proposing instead that we prepare two hundred million, plus a Longevity Fruit."

A slight look of distress appeared on Tang Yingying's face. The amount of two hundred million wasn't a major issue since that flower base was valuable. However, the Longevity Fruit was extremely rare and couldn't be bought even with money. Even as one of the seven small families, the Qiu Family hadn't managed to acquire one.
