Chapter 81: I Promise You

Chapter 81: Chapter 81: I Promise You

One person, in such a short time!

Had slain the giant snake!

Terrifying!

Simply too terrifying!

Ye Ming’s mouth twitched. At first, they thought Ye Yunyi was just an ordinary Mutant, but they never expected to be proven so wrong, so forcefully.

They had truly underestimated him!

To have completely overlooked such a powerhouse!

"Uncle Ye Ming, what do we do now?"

Pan Xuechun looked at Ye Ming. After all, he was the strongest among them.

Now, the giant snake had been slain by Ye Yunyi, but he had also taken its poison gland.

They had come specifically for the poison gland of this venomous creature!

Not only had they suffered casualties, but they hadn’t even gotten the poison gland!

What were they going to do now!

After a moment of thought, Ye Ming sighed. "After all, we didn’t obtain this item ourselves. We’ll have to negotiate with that... master."

At his words, the others nodded.

After all, just giving up on the poison gland was out of the question!

If they wanted it, their only option was to negotiate!

They couldn’t possibly try to take it by force!

Damn it, if they tried that, not a single one of them would survive!

And so, the group waited for Ye Yunyi to come down from the tree.

"Do you think there might be something incredible inside that tree?"

Pan Xuechun mused aloud.

The eyes of the people beside her lit up.

It was certainly possible. After all, the giant snake had been guarding this place!

Perhaps there was a Mutant Plant or something of the sort!

Ye Ming nodded from the side.

Then, he gave a wry smile.

Even if there was something incredible, so what!

It had nothing to do with them!

All they could do was rest up obediently and wait.

Wait for Ye Yunyi to come down from the tree.

Meanwhile, Ye Yunyi emerged from the hollow of the tree.

He stood on the crown of the tree.

Looking down at the massive snake carcass below.

He thought for a moment.

’Was I too impulsive just now?’

’Wouldn’t this thing have made a pretty good mount if I’d taken it back alive?’

The moment the thought appeared, Ye Yunyi immediately dismissed it.

After all, the creature was highly venomous!

’If I brought this damn thing back to the Cyan Flower Barrier, just one breath of its poison mist... if that spread everywhere... more than half the people in the entire Cyan Flower Barrier would probably die!’

’The crucial thing is, damn it, Zhou Huaiwei and the others aren’t even Mutants. If they got poisoned... that would be two deaths from one body!’

’Plus, I’m supposed to get a Super God Level reward when the child is born!’

’Forget it. What’s done is done.’

With that, he leaped down.

He landed beside the giant snake and looked it over. ’This thing, however, I can take back with me.’

’It’s all treasure!’

’It’s just that its body is a bit too massive.’

’Though, it should fit if I put it in the System Space.’

Just as Ye Yunyi was contemplating this, Pan Xuechun and her group walked over.

’Hm?’

Ye Yunyi looked at them, figuring he already knew why they were here.

But he didn’t speak.

Pan Xuechun was the first to speak. "Hello, we’d like to discuss something with you. Would you be willing to sell the poison gland to us?"

"My grandfather is an Early-Star Stage expert, and he’s been poisoned!"

"He needs the poison gland from a highly venomous creature as the main ingredient for his antidote!"

"So, you see..."

Her words made Ye Yunyi’s brow furrow.

’Early-Star Stage?!’

’What does she mean by talking to me like that?!’

’Is this a threat?’

’Hmph?!’

Ye Ming, who had been listening and watching Ye Yunyi’s expression, felt his own mouth twitch. ’Is the young miss an idiot?!’

’We’re the ones asking for a favor, yet she’s talking like that! The old master is a thousand miles away; his name doesn’t carry that kind of weight here!’

He immediately added, "Master, we are a family from a super-large barrier. We came out here specifically for this matter. We wish to buy the poison gland. Name your price; we can accept it!"

"Please, accommodate us."

"We would be eternally grateful!"

As Ye Ming spoke, he clasped his hands and bowed to Ye Yunyi.

Ye Yunyi, however, looked at Pan Xuechun, a corner of his mouth lifting into a smirk. "Selling it to you isn’t out of the question."

’It’s not like it’s of any great use to me anyway.’

’I have a whole pile of Divine Poison Pills!’

His words made the group ecstatic. ’Really?!’

"Five Mid-Diamond Stage Crystal Cores!"

Pan Xuechun: "..."

Ye Ming: "..."

Everyone: "..."

’Five Mid-Diamond Stage Crystal Cores?!’

’Did we hear that right?!’

’Five?!’

’This...!’

You have to understand, the giant snake itself was only a Mid-Diamond Stage Exotic Beast!

If Ye Yunyi knew what they were thinking right now, he would have called them a bunch of country bumpkins!

The snake’s venom was far more potent than its Level suggested. After all, the creature had eaten a Black Lotus!

Pan Xuechun bit her lip, her teeth clenched. "You... Why don’t you just go rob someone?!"

Hmph?!

Ye Yunyi’s eyes flashed with fury!

The next instant!

A searing pain shot through Pan Xuechun’s neck!

Ye Yunyi had already raised his Battle Axe!

It was poised over Pan Xuechun’s shoulder!

Even though the blade was still a good distance from her shoulder!

But!

It had already cut a bloody line across the neck of Pan Xuechun, a Golden Mutant!

Blood trickled down her skin!

In that moment, Pan Xuechun felt the chilling touch of death!

Every hair on her body stood on end in an instant!

Her eyes went wide, and her breathing quickened violently!

Her already ample chest heaved even more violently now!

Nearby, Ye Ming and the others jumped in fright!

They never thought Ye Yunyi would be so savage!

"Do you think if I wanted to rob you, I’d still be here wasting my breath?"

"I’ve changed my mind. Five Mid-Diamond Stage Crystal Cores, and you’re going to be my wife."

BOOM!

His words made Pan Xuechun’s eyes almost pop from their sockets in fury!

’This guy!’

’What is he saying?!’

’The number of Crystal Cores is the same!’

’But now he wants me to be his wife too?!’

’You...!’

Pan Xuechun nearly ground her teeth to dust!

"Think it over. If you can’t do it, then forget it."

Ye Yunyi lowered his Battle Axe and walked off to the side.

He planned to look around and see if there was anything else of value nearby.

The moment Ye Yunyi lowered his Battle Axe,

Pan Xuechun collapsed to the ground.

After all, she had never been so close to death before!

"Miss!"

A Mutant at her side helped her up.

Everyone turned to look at her.

Even Ye Ming was looking at her.

After all, they were all waiting for her to make the decision.

Pan Xuechun’s mind raced as she weighed her options.

’We came out this time with a mission from our family!’

’Saving Grandpa is the most important thing right now!’

’But!’

’The price he’s asking is just too high!’

’The Crystal Cores aren’t a huge burden; my family can afford them.’

’But the other part...!’

’What am I supposed to do?!’

As she thought,

「A moment later.」

It was as if Pan Xuechun had a sudden epiphany; she had thought of something!

Then, she walked toward Ye Yunyi.

She came to his side.

Ye Yunyi glanced at her. "Made up your mind?"

"Yes."

Pan Xuechun took a deep breath, then said slowly, "I accept."
