Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 108 Reason, what reason do you want me to have?

"Silk--"

The Xuanbing Scale Serpent moved its weary body, preparing to joyfully approach the Taiyin Lotus.

Just then, a terrifying killing intent came from behind.

A golden coffin and a scorching sword aura shot over with overwhelming force, arriving in the blink of an eye.

By the time it realized the crisis, it was too late.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the massive body of the Xuanbing Scale Serpent was sent flying backward, blood splattering everywhere. It lay limply on the ground, its breathing weak and feeble.

"Strike while the iron is hot and kill it!"

As if injected with chicken blood, the green-haired tortoise rode the Heaven-Slaying Coffin and charged forward again, continuously slamming into the Scaled Serpent's body.

At this moment, Li Wudao did not directly help, but instead took advantage of the chaos to secretly steal the Taiyin Lotus.

This thing is extremely useful to the soul. The green-haired turtle will definitely try to take it from him later, so it's better to strike first.

Immediately, he walked forward nonchalantly and joined the attack.

"Damn, we finally killed that guy!" Green Turtle panted heavily.

As expected of a sixth-tier great demon, the Xuanbing Scale Serpent was still incredibly resilient despite being severely injured, and it took a full quarter of an hour for it to finally perish.

Suddenly, the green-haired turtle remembered the Lunar Lotus and was about to excitedly pick it.

When it saw the bare ice surface, the turtle was stunned, its eyes filled with disbelief.

"Damn it, where's my Lunar Lotus?!"

Heart-wrenching curses echoed from within the mountain stream.

The green-haired turtle was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, looking left and right, scratching at the ice with its claws, trying to turn the Taiyin Lotus over.

Wait a minute, they were just here a moment ago, how did they disappear?

Suddenly, it realized something and looked at Li Wudao with an unfriendly expression, "Boy, hand over the Taiyin Lotus right now!"

"I can not understand what you say."

Upon hearing this, Li Wudao frowned and said in a pretentious tone, "I was right next to you just now, and you actually suspect that I took the Taiyin Lotus?"

After saying that, he sighed sadly, revealing a disappointed expression.

"Could it really not be this kid who stole it?"

The green-haired turtle looked at the boy suspiciously, sensing that something was amiss.

This place is the dead end of the world. Besides Li Wudao, who else could take away the Taiyin Lotus?

"By the way, just now when we were dealing with the Ice Scale Serpent, it seemed like a dark shadow darted past..."

Noticing the green-haired turtle's still suspicious expression, Li Wudao had an idea and seriously tried to shift the blame.

The voice has not fallen,

The green-haired turtle jumped up as if its fur had been bristled, cursing, "I knew it! It must have been that bald monk's doing again!"

Its eyes gleamed with wisdom, and the more it was scolded, the more convinced it became. Having learned from its previous two experiences, it was now completely convinced of its belief.

Seeing this, Li Wudao's lips twitched uncomfortably, and he almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

At the same time, he inwardly grumbled but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that, given the Green-haired Turtle's nature, there was absolutely no way he would give up the Lunar Lotus so easily.

"Ugh--"

After a good scolding, the green-haired turtle lay listlessly on the ice, sighing incessantly, looking utterly bored.

"It's just a Lunar Lotus, is it really necessary to be so upset?"

Li Wudao looked at it with amusement and comforted it, "There are plenty of rare and precious materials in the Sword Ruins, why be so dejected? Can't you be a little more rational?"

"Reason? What reason do you want me to have?"

The green-haired tortoise shook its head bitterly and said softly, "My origin has been severely damaged, and my soul is incomplete. This Taiyin Lotus is of immense benefit to me; consuming it should restore at least one-tenth of my strength. But now..."

As it spoke, it sighed again, unwilling to give up.

If relying on normal cultivation, it's unknown when I'll be able to return to my peak condition.

Upon hearing this, Li Wudao was slightly taken aback.

Admittedly, the Taiyin Lotus also has an effect on him, and it is highly likely that it can evolve the power of the Haotian Eye.

But when he heard what the green-haired turtle said, he suddenly wavered.

"It seems this turtle really needs the Yin Lotus; investing in it wouldn't be a loss..."

Li Wudao pondered silently, weighing the pros and cons.

In the end, after much consideration, he decided to give the Moon Lotus to the Green-haired Turtle.

Given the other party's high level of destiny, the rebate items should be of good quality; whether they are useful or not is another matter.

The problem is, how can he give away the Taiyin Lotus in a legitimate way?

If the green-haired tortoise knew that he had taken the Taiyin Lotus, he would definitely get angry and start a fight.

The thought of being chased and bitten left Li Wudao speechless, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Hey kid, stop spacing out and hurry up and help deal with these two monsters."

Just then, the green-haired turtle's urging voice came from behind.

"You can have the snake gall, but their inner cores are all mine."

Since it couldn't get the Taiyin Lotus, it had to settle for second best. After all, the inner core of a sixth-tier demon beast was a valuable item, containing a vast amount of demonic essence, which would be a great tonic for it.

"No problem," Li Wudao readily agreed.

The gallbladder of the Xuanbing Scale Serpent is priceless, and since he didn't put in any effort, it was practically free.

"Chichi-"

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from inside.

"what sound?"

Li Wudao raised an eyebrow, followed the sound, and finally looked at the green-haired turtle, his expression one of astonishment.

The latter had its head buried in the giant snake's corpse, devouring it with great effort, seemingly oblivious to the chilling stench of blood.

"Haven't you eaten?"

Li Wudao was speechless. This green-haired turtle wasn't picky at all; it would eat anything.

"What do you know? Don't you even know how long I've been asleep...?"

The green-haired turtle glanced up at him and said irritably.

Its current cultivation level has plummeted, and its essence is depleted. The body of a sixth-order demon beast provides it with considerable nourishment.

"Too."

Li Wudao nodded awkwardly.

However, watching it eat like a starving ghost is really hard to bear.

"Alright, shut up, stop eating."

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he went up and grabbed the green turtle's bald tail and pulled it out.

"Damn it, you're interfering with my meal too? Are you just bored and looking for trouble?"

The green-haired turtle was grumbling and eating with gusto when it was dragged out. It wanted nothing more than to bite him to death.

"You call this a meal?"

Li Wudao scoffed and shook his head, saying, "Fine, I'll reluctantly show you what real food is, so you country bumpkin can see what real food is."

"Who are you calling a bumpkin...?"

Seeing the boy's disdainful look, the green-haired turtle sneered, "You're carrying a dead rat in your waistband and pretending to be a hunter? I'd like to see what you're capable of."

Li Wudao remained silent and calmly walked towards the corpse of the Xuanbing Scale Serpent.

He then took out a long sword and skillfully sliced ​​off pieces of snake meat, his knife work exquisite, the slices as thin as cicada wings.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a medicine cauldron used for refining pills.

"this......."

Before the green-haired turtle's astonished eyes, Li Wudao took out the jade tablet and poured in the life-giving spring water he had obtained earlier.

Then, he used his sword to control the pure yang fire, which then entered the bottom of the medicine cauldron.

"Chichi-"

Before long, flames roared, the spring water in the medicine cauldron boiled, and a delicious aroma of meat wafted out, filling the air with spiritual energy.

With the addition of the mysterious seasoning, the aroma became even more enticing, making one's mouth water.

"Holy crap, it smells so good!"

The green-haired turtle stared wide-eyed, licking its lips incessantly, drool dripping from its mouth.

"Hey kid, are you done yet? Hurry up, I'm dying of craving!"

Just the smell is irresistible; how delicious it must be to take a bite!

Compared to this, what it just ate was no different from pig slop; it was practically inedible.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Li Wudao's lips curled slightly.

"I give up, I give up, let me have a bite."

The green-haired tortoise kept its eyes straight ahead, circling anxiously around the medicine cauldron, wishing it could plunge headfirst into it.

"You little brat, I can't handle you."

Li Wudao smiled smugly, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

It has to be said that with his culinary skills, he was a complete savior to Green Turtle.

"Amitabha, you two have quite the refined taste."

Suddenly, a voice rang out that made both the man and the tortoise change color.

Then, without warning, Lianchen appeared, wearing a tattered cassock, with a large belly, and walked towards them with a smile.

Upon seeing the fat monk again, Li Wudao and the green-haired turtle reacted differently.

The former is more about vigilance, while the latter is about anger.

"Fat monk, you're really dishonest! You've robbed us of our things time and time again. Give me back the Taiyin Lotus right now!"

Upon seeing the real person, the green-haired turtle, feeling guilty, angrily questioned him.
