"Master, did you kill all these demons?"
Su Yu'er asked.
"Of course!"
Yi Feng replied.
"Then, can I join you?"
Su Yu'er clung to Yi Feng's arm, her eyes filled with hope.
"What do you mean?"
Yi Feng took a step back, eyeing her warily.
This woman...
Was she trying to steal his kills?
"Master, what I mean is, can you take me along when you hunt? I'll just watch from the side, and maybe you can let me kill just one," Su Yu'er said earnestly, holding up a finger.
Hmm.
If she gave it her all, she might be able to take down one demon.
As long as she killed one while following the master, they would be accomplices.
Then she, too, would be the mastermind who had everyone dancing in the palm of her hand.
What a delightful thought.
"Wait, didn't you say you wanted to buy those beads, as many as you could get?" Yi Feng extended his hand. "Show me the money!"
"Money isn't a problem, but you have so many here. I don't have that many Celestial Crystals on hand. Can I pay you in installments?" Su Yu'er asked.
Yi Feng stroked his chin.
Hmm.
True.
Ten thousand Celestial Crystals per bead, and there were three to four million beads here. That amounted to several billion. It was impossible for this girl to come up with that much at once.
"That's acceptable, but I'll need a deposit," Yi Feng said seriously. "And no refunds if you back out."
Su Yu'er promptly took out a storage pouch containing millions of Celestial Crystals and handed it over to Yi Feng.
Yi Feng smiled.
The weight of it felt so satisfying.
"Master, can you agree to my earlier request?" Su Yu'er asked hopefully again. "Just let me follow you."
"No!"
Yi Feng refused outright.
"Ah, don't worry, I'll definitely go back to gather the money. But before I do, can I stay with you for a while? I just want to follow you. Wherever you go, I'll go," Su Yu'er said, clinging to Yi Feng's arm and shaking it.
"No."
Yi Feng refused again.
Leaving aside the fact that this girl needed to gather money, did she think following him around would cost nothing?
Even though...
He now had a fortune, but one must never forget their roots.
Besides, this girl was so eccentric. Who knew how annoying she'd be if she stuck around?
"Master, I'm begging you!" Su Yu'er whined, shaking Yi Feng's arm vigorously.
"Absolutely not."
Yi Feng's tone was firm.
"Wuwu, Master, please! It's so dark. What will happen if you leave me alone? I just want to follow you. I'll do whatever you say!" Su Yu'er said, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Absolutely not!"
Yi Feng's voice grew stern.
This woman, with her nonsensical logic, definitely had ulterior motives.
Yi Feng was resolute.
"Master, don't you like Celestial Crystals? I have a special ability—I can find treasures!" Su Yu'er quickly added. "I've found many treasures for my uncles and masters before, and those treasures contained lots and lots of Celestial Crystals."
As she spoke, her sharp nose twitched. She walked over to a spot not far away and dug into the ground with her hands. A moment later, she pulled out a Celestial Crystal from the soil.
"See, Master? I'm not lying," Su Yu'er said solemnly.
Looking at the Celestial Crystal in Su Yu'er's hand, Yi Feng subtly raised his head.
"As a righteous cultivator, it is my duty to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. Leaving a woman like you alone in such darkness would be a grave mistake."
"You must stay, and you must follow me at all times."
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
