Once, I wanted to be a good person

The Blue Blood Venerable was a bald middle-aged man with skin of a deep blue hue and peculiar patterns on his face. His demeanor was somewhat gloomy, and his eyes held a touch of indifference that seemed to have seen through the vicissitudes of life.

Since becoming a Demigod turns one into a "Human-shaped Divine Body," it was impossible to discern his original form from his remaining features.

At this moment, upon hearing the words of the Demigod Ghost Mother, the Blue Blood Venerable showed a trace of interest on his face.

However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he raised his hand, hooked his index finger, and summoned the Space Folding Bag that had just been thrown in front of him to his side.

Then he opened it and took a look.

Upon looking, the Blue Blood Venerable immediately revealed a satisfied smile, then raised his head and looked at the Ghost Mother with a faint smile. "Didn't expect you to still have such things as the River Clam Divine Essence."

"Looks like from the Destruction of that world, you guys got your hands on quite a lot of good stuff, huh."

Hearing the Blue Blood Venerable's words, the Ghost Mother proudly said, "We were the main attackers at that time, so it's only natural that we got first dibs on the loot and kept a stash of good things."

Upon hearing this, the Blue Blood Venerable chuckled, then he took out a few small bottles and casually threw them back to the Ghost Mother.

These items were clearly valuable, and the Ghost Mother hurriedly and awkwardly caught them. Then she looked at the Blue Blood Venerable with a puzzled expression.

At this point, the Blue Blood Venerable, while opening a drawer and pouring the remaining River Clam Divine Essence from the Space Folding Bag into it, nonchalantly said, "I'm also quite interested in whether Dahei Jialuo will truly die of exhaustion."

"So, I'll charge you half the price."

Upon hearing the Blue Blood Venerable's words, the Ghost Mother's face immediately lit up with joy. But at that moment, the Blue Blood Venerable spoke again, "Oh, right. However, if Garo really does die, then his remains would have to be counted as my spoils of war."

Ghost Mother: ...

Seeing the shrewd look of the Blue Blood Venerable, the Ghost Mother couldn't help but silently grumble in her heart: As expected, I knew this old man wouldn't be so kind-hearted.

However, considering their side didn't have the ability to deal with a Demigod's remains, and saving half the cost was indeed a considerable amount, she eventually nodded her head...

...

Meanwhile.

The Frost White Desert was in utter silence at this time. Almost all creatures of Fusion Grade or above had been slaughtered by the rampaging Fang Ze.

Even the few who were lucky enough to escape the massacre were hiding in fear, not daring to show themselves.

Yet, at this moment, in the vast desert's center, there were a few tiny figures bustling around, doing who knew what.

"Bai, hurry up! Here, there's another corpse here!"

"Wow! This one is rich! Not only is there a Space Folding Bag, but there's also a high-strength Superior Grade weapon. We've struck gold!"

"Ugh. Even the armor they wore is a Superior Grade defensive treasure, but it got sliced apart by Fang...by the master with one stroke. Such a waste~!"

Saying this, Bai Ling stomped her foot, her face filled with pained reluctance.

"Bai! Bai! Over here! Over here!"

"Here's a Wing Bear! This thing is full of treasures. Come quick, come quick!"

As she spoke, Bai Ling had already laid herself on top of the long-dead Wing Bear.

Then her Mercury Assassin talent activated: Her hand slowly transformed into a giant saw, and she started to saw off the Wing Bear's paw while pulling at its wrist...

Beside her, Bai Zhi, Miaomiao, and even the captive Aliya were each carrying or dragging a huge bag as they walked over from afar.

Judging by the clanging sounds coming from the bags and the long trails of blood on the desert, they were filled with loot collected by Bai Ling....

However, while Bai Ling was excited, the three women were not as thrilled. Watching Bai Ling scurry around like a little sprite, their faces were full of helplessness....

Just as Bai Ling was cheerfully sawing the bear paw, a meteor-like gold light suddenly streaked across the dark sky of the Outer Realm.

That gold light flew over the women's heads almost instantly, heading off into the distance.

So the women merely glanced up slightly before they resumed their work.

But at that moment, the gold light suddenly froze mid-air halfway across, then rapidly reversed back.

In a flash, the gold light descended from the Nine Heavens at an incredible speed, directly charging towards Bai Ling!

By now, Bai Zhi and the others had spotted the gold light, but it was too fast for them to either dodge or issue a warning!

"Ah!" So, with a scream, Bai Ling was struck straight on by the gold light, her whole body engulfed within it!

Seeing this, Bai Zhi and Miaomiao couldn't care less about picking up the loot. They exchanged a glance and quickly rushed forward!

Just at that moment, the gold light dispersed, revealing Fang Ze glowing with Divine Light as he appeared in place! He was pulling at Bai Ling's ear, his golden eyes flashing with a dangerous glint, as he spoke in a displeased tone, "Didn't I tell you guys not to run around? Why did you come here?"

Realizing the gold light was Fang Ze, Bai Zhi and Miaomiao stopped in their tracks. And the screams in Bai Ling's mouth also came to a halt.

Being held by her ear, Bai Ling pouted and said in an aggrieved tone, "I... I just thought it would be such a pity to leave behind so many spoils of war. So I wanted to collect them to sell."
