Seeing that both Chu Qinghuang and Feng Qingmu were waiting for her answer, the Emperor Lord suppressed the anger in his heart, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said, "The Divine Realm and the Demon Realm have never gotten along. Opening up trade abruptly will likely provoke resistance from the common people of both realms. Besides, just because the Demon Lord can be trusted for the moment doesn't mean he can be trusted forever. The risk is simply too high. Saintly Sovereign Chu had better drop this idea."
Chu Qinghuang knew the Emperor Lord would never agree, nor had she ever expected him to simply say yes. However, a person's guard naturally drops when they are angry, and this was precisely the moment Chu Qinghuang had been waiting for to test him.
Sighing with a look of disappointment, Chu Qinghuang turned back to the Emperor Lord. "Then might the Emperor Lord be willing to donate some funds to the Eastern Region? That way, we'll at least have the means to keep going."
