Chapter 476: Encountering a Male White Lotus

The two Female Cultivators also stopped. When they saw that the male cultivator truly had the strength to fight the Heavenly Spirit Bear, their eyes lit up. They immediately called out, "Fellow Daoist, we’ll help you!"

The two Female Cultivators, who had been fleeing in disarray just moments before, now turned back heroically to help. You couldn’t tell at all that they’d just been running for their lives.

Lu Sangjiu raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of amusement on her face...

A moment later, through their combined efforts, the Heavenly Spirit Bear was quickly dealt with.

The Immortal-like male cultivator didn’t spare the Heavenly Spirit Bear’s corpse a second glance, letting the two Female Cultivators gleefully go forward to dismantle it.

He just turned around with a calm expression, looking in the direction where Lu Sangjiu had been standing. "It’s all right now, you..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, because when he looked over, he discovered that the person who had been standing there just now was long gone.

The male cultivator: "..."

For a moment, the expression on his face cracked, and he almost lost his composure.

’So... where’d she go?’

By now, Lu Sangjiu had used her movement technique to travel a great distance. Even on the vast, open plains, she was already out of their line of sight.

’Was she supposed to stick around and keep them company while they dealt with the demon beast? Seriously? Who knew what kind of ulterior motives those people had.’

’Putting that last man aside, those two Female Cultivators definitely had ill intentions when they were chasing her at the start. She’d have to be crazy to stay and fight alongside them.’

Lu Sangjiu left without a care in the world, feeling no psychological burden whatsoever.

However, she didn’t expect to be so unlucky. After walking alone for a short while, she encountered a pair of Wind Snow Beasts.

It couldn’t be called completely unlucky, though, because besides the Wind Snow Beasts, there was also the nearly ripe Extreme Cold Fruit they were guarding.

While researching the Ten Thousand Fusion Stones, Lu Sangjiu had also made a point to brush up on some of the more common Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the Immortal Spirit Realm.

So it just so happened that she recognized the Extreme Cold Fruit.

The fruit wasn’t of great use to human Cultivators, but for Ice Element demon beasts, it was a major tonic.

Therefore, as long as you found the right buyer in the outside world, it could still fetch a high price. After all, there were plenty of Cultivators willing to pour resources into their Spirit Beasts.

Seeing the Extreme Cold Fruit, Lu Sangjiu’s mind automatically began to calculate how many Spirit Stones it could be exchanged for.

And on her shoulder, Duoduo was also very excited, because it wanted to eat them too.

Of course, this wasn’t a conflict of interest. There were five Extreme Cold Fruits on the tree, and Duoduo would eat three at most before they stopped having much of an effect on it.

The remaining two could be sold for money. Together, they were worth at least seven or eight Immortal Stones.

’This is how you build up your Spirit Stone savings, little by little.’

With a profit to be made, Lu Sangjiu instantly had no intention of avoiding them. Instead, she looked at the two demon beasts, eager to make a move.

The two demon beasts were guarding the ripening fruit and didn’t seem to want any trouble at this critical moment.

So, upon seeing Lu Sangjiu, they merely bared their teeth and growled, trying to intimidate her into backing off.

Unfortunately for them, Lu Sangjiu had no intention of leaving. Instead, she took out her Domination Map Blade and took the initiative to attack!

This completely enraged the two demon beasts. But with the fruit about to ripen, their hearts were still tied to it. After a moment of hesitation, the slightly smaller one didn’t move, remaining on guard in front of the tree.

The other one, however, lunged at Lu Sangjiu without hesitation!

Lu Sangjiu’s strength had increased considerably compared to a year ago. Dealing with a single demon beast around the Heavenly Immortal Stage was no problem for her at all.

If both had attacked her together from the start, it might have been a bit difficult for her, but unfortunately, they were too greedy.

By the time the other one realized something was wrong and joined the battle, it was already too late.

Lu Sangjiu finished off the first one with a single slash of her blade and then charged toward the smaller one.

This smaller one was weaker than the first, and with its companion dead, it had already begun to lose its mind.

For Lu Sangjiu, it was even less of a problem. She quickly inflicted heavy injuries on it.

Just as she was about to seize the opportunity to finish it off with one more slash, she suddenly heard a voice.

"Fellow Daoist, don’t be afraid! I’m here to help you!"

Lu Sangjiu: ?

She took a moment to glance in the direction of the voice and saw that it was the two Female Cultivators she had met earlier, along with the male cultivator who had helped them.

The three of them had come together. The one who spoke was one of the Female Cultivators, her eyes shining as she stared at the Extreme Cold Fruit Tree. Her objective was plain to see.

Lu Sangjiu’s expression darkened. Without another word, she sliced the demon beast in half with her blade. Then, using her movement technique without the slightest pause, she went to the just-ripened Extreme Cold Fruit Tree. With a raise of her hand, all five Extreme Cold Fruits were in her possession.

Seeing this, the faces of the two Female Cultivators twisted in dismay, as they instantly realized they wouldn’t be getting a share of the spoils.

But they were also thick-skinned and immediately set their sights on the two demon beast corpses.

The corpses of Heavenly Immortal Stage demon beasts had many parts that could be used as Refining Materials, and their inner cores were also very useful. If dismantled, they could be sold for a decent amount of Spirit Stones.

So, one of the Female Cultivators said, "Oh my, if we don’t deal with this bloody smell, I’m afraid it will attract other demon beasts. Let me help you take care of it!"

After saying that, while Lu Sangjiu was occupied elsewhere, she directly stored both demon beast corpses in her own storage bag.

This audacious move made Lu Sangjiu laugh in anger. She looked at the Female Cultivator and, not bothering to be polite, raised her hand. "Are you going to return them, or do I have to take them back myself?"

Although she looked like an innocent little flower, when her face was cold, her aura was quite intimidating.

The Female Cultivator, with a blade pointed at her, was instantly frightened. Her face paled as she took a few steps back to hide behind the male cultivator. "Brother Lin Qiu, I’m so scared!"

"I was just trying to help! Why are you being so mean!"

Lu Sangjiu: "..."

’The first time I’ve seen such a low-class green tea bitch.’

The male cultivator named Lin Qiu, however, didn’t seem to think so at all. Instead, he smoothly stepped in front of the Female Cultivator and gave Lu Sangjiu a faint smile.

"Fellow Daoist, don’t be angry. Shuang’er meant no harm. If you want the demon beast corpses, I’ll have her give them to you. It’s really not worth ruining the harmony over something so trivial."

Lu Sangjiu: "..."

’Good grief. Not only did I run into a green tea bitch, but a male white lotus too.’

’What a magnanimous thing to say. Anyone who didn’t know better would think the corpses were his to give away. He’s sick in the head!’

The mention of a "white lotus" inevitably made Lu Sangjiu think of Ye Zhiyao.

That was truly not a pleasant experience. The memory was so disgusting that she rolled her eyes dramatically.

She didn’t even have the interest to engage in an acting competition with them. She said bluntly, "Those were mine to begin with. Is she justified in taking my things as she pleases?"
