3 Years

The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King looked into Mujou's eyes.

Having encountered countless types of people and experienced numerous things, she could discern the nature of someone just by looking into their eyes.

Mujou's eyes clearly harbored desire. 

But it wasn't the gaze of someone greedy for money.

It was the gaze of someone eager for power.

Her assessment was correct.

"Lord Mujou here seems very interested, doesn't he?"

Mujou composed himself and looked at the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King.

"Does the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King truly wish to sell to me?"

She covered her mouth and giggled.

"On the contrary, I am more interested in buying back your territory."

"But with suitable conditions, it's not impossible to sell."

Mujou frowned.

"What price do you have in mind?"

The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King gracefully held up three fingers.

"Three years' worth of all the territory's rewards."
