Chapter 642: Bleeding Heart
"One trillion Spirit Crystals? Senior Ao Hai, you're certainly big-hearted. Just earlier, when we clashed with others, Senior Ao Hai immediately compensated them with one trillion Spirit Crystals. And now, yet again, with a swift wave of your hand, another one trillion Spirit Crystals…" Lin Yun corner of Lin Yun's mouth curled into a faint smile as he spoke slowly.
In his words, it seemed as if he were praising Ao Hai, yet in reality, he was mocking him.
He was ridiculing the lack of generosity in Ao Hai's compensation. Bahu Ye, a powerful figure from an eight-level Civilization Star Domain and one who was in the latter part of the twelfth-level phase, was far from this half-step Super Warrior in terms of both power and status.
Previously, Bahu Ye was asked to compensate others with one trillion Spirit Crystals, and now, Ao Hai only compensated them the same amount.
Could the two of them even be compared?
Hearing Lin Yun's words, Ao Hai was slightly relieved. While one trillion Spirit Crystals was a lot, if it could resolve this matter, it would be acceptable.
However, upon hearing Lin Yun's subsequent remarks, Ao Hai's face immediately turned sour.
He never imagined that he'd dug such a big hole for himself.
He had effectively shot himself in the foot.
He'd asked Bahu Ye to compensate others with one trillion Spirit Crystals, and now he himself is compensating Lin Yun and his group the same amount. Was this a compensation or an insult? Was he taking them for fools?
Lin Yun merely watched him. He continued talking but didn't collect the spatial items that Ao Hai had handed over. His meaning was clear.
The compensation wasn't small, but Lin Yun didn't seem to think much of it.
Firstly, he has used various precious treasures like the Super Golden Liquid, where a single drop was worth far more than one trillion Spirit Crystals. The total value of everything he'd used was at least ten to twenty times that amount.
Furthermore, during his previous conflict with Bahu Ye, he had killed several powerful figures from the Bahu Family. Yet, without a second's hesitation, Bahu Ye had compensated them with one thousand eight hundred trillion Spirit Crystals. What a grand gesture!
In comparison, Ao Hai appeared very stingy.
On the side, Bahu Ye slightly smirked. He wanted to laugh. Ao Hai put him in a tough spot earlier, and now he had fallen into his own trap, hadn't he?
A trillion Spirit Crystals...
He knew very well what a massive fortune that was, especially for Ao Hai. Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire
Initially, he and Ao Hai, along with others, had ventured to the Immortal Origin Holy Land together. Ao Hai was the offspring of a ninth-level Civilization Star Domain power, and he could mingle with the offspring of an eighth-level Civilization Star Domain power, which says a lot about his standing in the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain.
Therefore, Ao Hai's affiliated power didn't necessarily possess greater reserves than the Bahu Family.
However, Ao Hai's talent and luck were good, allowing him to cultivate to the Half Step Super Realm.
Despite this, due to the short span of time and Ao Hai's increased resource consumption following his realm advancement, it was not clear how many Spirit Crystals he had left. The pressure from compensating one trillion Spirit Crystals would be no less than what Bahu Ye had experienced when he compensated Lin Yun with one thousand eight hundred trillion Spirit Crystals.
At this moment, Bahu Ye recalled the incident of him compensating Lin Yun with one thousand eight hundred trillion Spirit Crystals.
However, he had no regrets.
If it weren't for those one thousand eight hundred trillion Spirit Crystals, how could he have established his current relationship with Lin Yun and his group?
Lin Yun's cultivation talent and speed were beyond his imagination. His chances of breaking through to the Super Realm in the future were very high.
Once Lin Yun advanced to the Super Realm, he would know a Super Warrior.
Add to that Lin Yun's attitude towards his friends.
All of it was worth it.
"In front of the young master and young lady, I, Ao Hai, dare not claim to be their senior. These one trillion Spirit Crystals are merely compensation for the young master.
I have also prepared several hundred trillion Spirit Crystals and some other rare and valuable items, which sum up to another one trillion Spirit Crystals in value for the two young ladies…" Ao Hai's enforced smile was even more pitiful than crying as he produced another spatial item and handed it to Lin Yun. He then turned to Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng, offering them the compensation.
His heart bled at this act.
His accumulated wealth had nearly been depleted, and he had even handed out many valuable special treasures.
Now, he only had a few hundred trillion Spirit Crystals left to his name.
This time, he truly suffered a significant loss.
However, it was money he had to spend.
If the other party genuinely had ties with some Super Warriors of the Immortal Origin Holy Land and those Super Warriors spoke on their behalf, or if they simply used their own status to tell other cosmic powers about his actions, his life would effectively be ruined.
He was acutely aware of how extensive the influence of the Immortal Origin Holy Land was thousands of years ago.
A single word from the powerful beings of the Immortal Origin Holy Land would hold sway over many cosmic powerhouses, sometimes causing them to go overboard.
He dared not gamble.
Witnessing this scene, Lianshan and Huayang both took a deep breath.
The influence of the Immortal Origin Holy Land struck them even deeper now.
Just from an ambiguous connection and a few words alone, a half-step Super Warrior had been coerced into such a position.
However, based on the recent incident, they understood.
They knew that Ao Hai had brought all this upon himself, and no one else was to blame.
However, it served as a lesson for them to be more cautious if they encountered people from the Immortal Origin Holy Land in the future. Being polite could prevent future mishaps.
That being said, seeing Ao Hai bleeding wealth like this, they wanted to laugh too.
They were both Half-Step Super Warriors of this Star Domain, and they were familiar with Ao Hai, a newly risen Half-Step Super Warrior. They knew the toll that giving away almost two trillion Spirit Crystals would take on him.
