After digesting the spoils of war,
Ye Wangchuan stood up and glanced at Li Luo, who was busy picking fruits.
He thought for a moment and decided to finish clearing the entire forest first.
After all, for every five gold coins' worth of materials harvested, he could snatch a cultivation pill from Li Luo.
Soon, the trees in the forest began to disappear at an astonishing rate.
Naturally, during this time, both humans and beasts attempted to attack Ye Wangchuan or Li Luo.
But they were all smashed to death with a single strike of his spear.
The current situation was that creatures below the third level posed no threat to Ye Wangchuan.
Meanwhile, all third-level creatures had already headed to the center of the cave heaven to compete for more powerful treasures.
After clearing the entire forest, Ye Wangchuan finally took Li Luo to the center of the cave heaven to join in the excitement.
……
……
At the center of the cave heaven.
"Huff—"
"Huff—"
Su Fugui was hiding in a patch of grass, gasping for breath.
Beside him stood a tall, heroic-looking woman.
This woman was a bodyguard Su Fugui had hired from Chang'an City's largest escort agency at a great cost. Her cultivation had reached the astonishing early second level!
In truth, given Su Fugui's wealth, he could have hired even stronger bodyguards.
However, when those bodyguards learned that Su Fugui intended to enter the cave heaven, they all refused the job.
Only this woman was willing to accept the assignment.
Outside the grass.
Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Two mid-second-level experts were locked in combat.
Every clash of their attacks sent tremors through a hundred-meter radius.
The deafening roars even made Su Fugui's eardrums ache.
But Su Fugui refused to leave.
His eyes were fixated on a small, translucent blue flower on the ground.
"Are you sure that flower can restore my... you know, my 'second brother'?"
Su Fugui asked the bodyguard.
"Yes, sir. That flower is called the Flower of Restoration. It can restore your damaged body to its peak condition without affecting your cultivation."
"Although it has little effect on those with high cultivation, its powerful properties still make it extremely rare and valuable."
After the bodyguard's explanation, Su Fugui understood why these two second-level experts were fighting over such a small flower.
It could unconditionally restore the disabled!
Even someone with only two functional fingers could stand up and do push-ups after using this flower!
Who wouldn't be tempted?
Even if not used personally, selling it at auction would fetch a sky-high price!
"Alright, let's stay here and wait. Once these two finish their fight, we'll take advantage of the situation, kill the winner, and seize the treasure!"
Su Fugui quickly devised a plan.
Soon.
With a "squelch," one of the two combatants drove a blade through the other's heart.
The battle had finally reached its conclusion.
The victor, clutching his wounds, approached the Flower of Restoration.
He chuckled, filled with joy.
Although he had sustained injuries during the fight, consuming the flower would heal him completely.
Moreover, after being mute for over forty years, he could finally regain his voice!
The mute man bent down to pick the flower.
At that moment.
Whoosh—!
Su Fugui hurled his sword in front of the mute man, drawing his attention.
Simultaneously, the bodyguard appeared behind the mute man and launched a sudden attack!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Three arrows instantly pierced the mute man's body.
The paralyzing poison on the arrows immediately rendered him immobile.
The bodyguard rushed over and pressed a dagger against the mute man's throat.
Bodyguard: "Which city are you from? Are you from a family or a sect?! Speak up!"
Mute Man: "Ahhh..."
Bodyguard: "Speak!"
Mute Man: "Ahhh..."
Bodyguard: "Playing mute, huh? If you don't talk, I'll kill you!"
Mute Man: "......"
Thud!
The bodyguard swiftly slit his throat, ensuring the mute man died painlessly.
Su Fugui nodded in satisfaction and turned his gaze to the Flower of Restoration.
Only to see Li Luo squatting there, yanking the flower out by its roots.
Su Fugui: "..."
Bodyguard: "..."
"How dare you steal my client's treasure! You're asking for death!!!"
Enraged by the theft, the bodyguard immediately drew her bow and aimed at Li Luo.
Whoosh—!
An arrow laced with paralyzing poison shot toward Li Luo.
At that moment, a spear suddenly flew out from a nearby patch of grass.
It shattered the arrow mid-flight and continued its trajectory, striking the bodyguard's shoulder.
The bodyguard was sent flying and pinned to a stone wall!
Ye Wangchuan emerged from the grass and approached Li Luo.
Seeing him, Li Luo handed the Flower of Restoration to Ye Wangchuan.
After all, she didn't have a storage ring, and carrying such a treasure would be troublesome.
Ye Wangchuan casually stored the Flower of Restoration in his storage ring.
The Flower of Restoration was a valuable item. The Ye family's stockpile had dwindled to only fifty thousand, and they were running low.
After securing the flower, Ye Wangchuan was about to interrogate the bodyguard about her affiliations and potential treasure locations.
He had intentionally held back earlier, not killing her outright, for this very purpose.
At that moment.
Su Fugui quickly jumped out and approached Ye Wangchuan.
The moment he saw Su Fugui, Ye Wangchuan's brow furrowed slightly.
What was going on?
Wasn't this Son of Destiny supposed to be dead?
Did something go wrong when Ye Bai disposed of the body?
Could it be that the Son of Destiny's corpse also carried a stupidity-inducing aura?
But Tang San's corpse had been burned without issue last time, and his ashes were even mixed with glutinous rice!
Why was there an exception with Su Fugui?
Although five question marks popped up in Ye Wangchuan's mind in a split second, his expression remained calm and composed.
He looked up at Su Fugui, ready to kill him again.
"Hey hey hey! Isn't this Young Master Ye? I've missed you so much!"
"Hello, hello! Young Master Ye, I haven't forgotten the kindness you showed by having someone revive me last time!"
"That woman earlier was my hired bodyguard. She didn't recognize the young lady by your side, so she acted rashly. My apologies, my apologies."
Su Fugui spoke with a beaming smile.
Since his death and revival, Su Fugui's mentality had subtly changed.
He had learned to be cautious.
When it was time to act, he would act.
But when it was time to back down, he would absolutely back down!
The world was full of powerful individuals!
Take Ye Wangchuan, for example. He was the heir to Chang'an's foremost family, Su Fugui's savior, and a peerless genius who had reached the second level in less than a month.
To oppose him over a bodyguard?
That would be insane!
Meanwhile, Ye Wangchuan was momentarily stunned by Su Fugui's words.
When had he ever arranged for Su Fugui's revival?
After a moment, Ye Wangchuan figured it out.
It seemed Su Fugui had been revived by the Ye family, and due to various reasons, a misunderstanding had arisen, leading him to believe Ye Wangchuan had saved him.
If that was the case...
