“Young man, I am the Hehuan Sect’s saintess—am I worth less than mere mortal trinkets?” she asked.
“I’ve got a whole bunch of Saint Heirs here,” he replied. “I don’t fancy a saintess; I prefer mortal trinkets. Give me your mortal trinkets, and you will have completely evolved into an Immortal.”
Li Xiaobai took a drag from his cigarette, unmoved by Su Mei’er’s charm, his gaze fixed on the Space Ring in her hand—the most captivating thing about this woman.
Su Mei’er was frustrated. There really were men in the world who were completely indifferent to her charms, and they seemed to come in droves.
Whether it was the monks or the man in front of her, or even the fellow beside her refusing to open his eyes, all of them were oblivious to her stunning beauty. She couldn’t help but wonder if she had become ugly or if her allure had faded?
No, impossible. She was Su Mei’er, a thousand times more beautiful than Xi Yao—it had to be these men’s problem.
Perhaps they weren’t interested in women at all, but rather, they were comrades who enjoyed ‘the love of dragons.’
Taking off her Space Ring, she tossed it to Li Xiaobai. The ring contained resources—although precious, they were nothing extraordinary.
Li Xiaobai caught the ring, nodded with satisfaction, and after a cursory inspection, his complexion became ruddy with excitement—the resources inside were incredibly abundant.
The least valuable were top-quality Spirit Stones, along with all sorts of exquisite herbs. This woman’s treasures even surpassed the combined wealth of the cultivators they had encountered before, making her like a mobile treasury.
Seeing the gleam in Li Xiaobai’s eyes, Su Mei’er was even more speechless—this man definitely had issues.
“Little monk, what’s your name? With such cultivation, why has your sister never seen you before?” Su Mei’er continued to pester Monk Liaowang.
“Amitabha, this humble monk is Liaowang. I wander everywhere on normal days, and my understanding of the Buddhist Law is not profound; I am not well known,” Monk Liaowang replied.
“But you can summon the Eighteen Arhats Golden Body. Many powerful figures in the Buddhist Sect can’t achieve that. You are being too modest.”
Su Mei’er persistently inched closer to Monk Liaowang.
“Amitabha, this lowly monk’s cultivation is insignificant, and I dare not compare myself to the great ones. Men and women should not touch hands; please do not proceed this way,” he said.
Liaowang dodged like a frightened rabbit, continuously chanting scripture.
Li Xiaobai found this very amusing—it seemed even monks had their fears. This was quite interesting.
…
The group continued on their way. The interior of the cavern was shockingly vast, not at all corresponding with the outside world. Su Mei’er suspected that a separate small world was concealed within.
As for what exactly was inside, that remained unknown.
After walking some distance, sounds of battle coupled with a few shouts could be heard. Li Xiaobai recognized them and signaled everyone to stop.
Ahead, five people lay in pools of blood, while a female cultivator wielding a huge hammer laughed maniacally as if she were insane.
At least dozens of cultivators surrounded the scene, their eyes bloodshot as they stared at the woman in front.
“Hahaha! Mere Nascent Soul Cultivators daring to compete with me for treasures are courting death! The treasures can only be mine!” she proclaimed.
Having said that, the female cultivator put away her hammer and casually picked up a stone from the ground, as if intending to leave.
At the same moment, the myriad cultivators surrounding her, with ferocious expressions, swarmed towards her.
“Kill her!”
“The treasure can only be mine!”
“Get lost, only I am worthy of the treasure!”
Seeing the frenzy of the crowd, Li Xiaobai recognized the female cultivator—it was his Senior Sister Su Yunbing. Not only had his senior brothers and sisters entered this place, but they had also made it into this small world. However, looking at the current situation, it seemed they too were affected by the influence of the Demonic Qi.
Monk Liaowang prepared to move forward to rescue someone but was stopped by Li Xiaobai, who felt that something was amiss.
A ripple echoed through the void; a cultivator appeared soundlessly behind Su Yunbing and suddenly struck her in the back with his palm.
“Ah!”
Su Yunbing screamed and fell slowly to the ground as if unconscious.
Monk Liaowang: “…”
Li Xiaobai’s forehead creased with black lines. Was Senior Sister putting on an act?
Using herself as bait to lure a large group of cultivators to kill for treasure, then pretending to be defeated, the remaining cultivators would turn on each other over these fabricated riches. This tactic of using others to eliminate one’s enemies was quite cunning.
Although he didn’t know why they weren’t affected by the Demonic Qi, now that he had stumbled upon them, he would claim their Space Rings for himself.
He put Huazi in everyone’s mouths and then smoothly took their Space Rings as an automatic payment.
“Senior Brothers and Senior Sister, your Junior Brother is here, so you can stop the act.”
“So it’s Junior Brother. Senior Sister has attracted quite a few experts with great difficulty, and it seems you’ve reaped the benefits.”
The group got up from the ground, each with a Huazi in their mouth, evidently having narrowly escaped disaster just like him.
“Junior Brother seems to have made quite a few friends outside.”
Ye Wushuang looked Su Mei’er up and down. In terms of beauty, they were equally matched, with Ye Wushuang exuding a quiet and elegant aura, while Su Mei’er oozed a seductively enchanting charm.
“What are you looking at?”
Su Mei’er rolled her eyes, seeing for the first time a woman whose looks matched hers and immediately there were two, which irritated her immensely. No wonder Li Xiaobai was indifferent to her, he must be used to such sights.
Serves him right for being face-blind.
“Junior Brother, there are Transcendance Tribulation Stage masters here. Aren’t you being a bit too reckless with those engravings?”
Liu Jinshui’s expression changed when he saw Li Xiaobai’s actions.
“What’s there to fear? Even those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage should repay kindness. I, Li Xiaobai, enjoy helping others; it’s like saving their lives.”
Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently.
His defensive power was about to advance, and he no longer held the same reverence for those in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage as before.
“Are you planning to go deep into the cave, Junior Brother?”
“Have Senior Brother and Senior Sister been there before?”
“Yes, we have. There’s something truly terrifying inside. We’ll do a few more jobs and then we have to leave. Junior Brother, I advise you to leave quickly too. We are not a match for that thing,” Fourth Senior Brother Yang Chen said.
“What’s inside?” Li Xiaobai asked curiously.
“A heart, a real Demonic Divine Heart.”
Third Senior Brother Lin Yin, who had been silent, spoke with deep wariness about the item inside the cave.
“Thank you, Senior Brother, for the information, but I still want to take a look,” Li Xiaobai said. There was still one Blood Sacrifice Fragment left nearby, and if it was likely to be anywhere, it would be deep in this cave.
Moreover, according to Lin Yin, although the object was terrifying, it was not dangerous for the time being, so exploring a bit shouldn’t be a problem.
“It seems Junior Brother is just like us, someone who won’t stop until he sees the coffin. Go if you want, but do not touch that heart. It’s very sinister, and if it awakens, it might lead to catastrophe.”
