Chapter 804

Two giants fought fiercely, brawling from over ten kilometers away all the way to here.

In that direction, only one mountain, bare of gray rock, remained untouched.

It looked somewhat special.

Xia Na bypassed the corpses of the Mountain Giant and the Obsidian Colossus, and followed the Treasure-Hunting Mouse toward the southwest.

Nearby Gaoshan had all been flattened by two King-level ferocious beasts.

The powerful beasts had nearly all fled; Xia Na walked seven or eight kilometers in perfect safety.

Xia Na stopped before the one mountain nearby that had not been leveled.

"Is it here?"

The Treasure-Hunting Mouse nodded, leapt from Xia Na's hand, waved its tiny paws, and began digging furiously.

Soon, the Treasure-Hunting Mouse vanished among the scattered rocks.

Meanwhile, Xia Na stood on a rock, watching her surroundings warily.

After more than twenty minutes, the Treasure-Hunting Mouse reappeared.

It clutched a green stone, nearly as large as itself.

The stone was pale green, somewhat like glass.

Inside the stone were bubbles, as if trapping some pale green liquid.

"Is this treasure… water?" Xia Na grinned as she took the pale green stone. "What's it used for? I wonder how much it's worth?"

"Green Yushan Marrow—highly likely to enhance the defensive innate talent of Rock-type or Earth-type companion beasts; usable even by King-level companion beasts!"

A hand wrapped in white bandages gently took the Green Yushan Marrow from Xia Na's grasp.

Xia Na didn't dare move a muscle—she was stunned.

"If you sell this to a King-level Beast Tamer with a Rock-type or Earth-type main companion beast, it could fetch three or five hundred million Federal Credits!" Su Yang held the Green Yushan Marrow up to the dazzling sun, admiring the flowing pale green liquid inside. "This piece has high purity, no impurities—it's top-grade."

Xia Na stared at the Green Yushan Marrow, her big eyes brimming with greed.

She swallowed and asked, "My lord, is it really worth that much?"

Su Yang replied, "Of course. If you take it to the Treasures Pavilion and let them auction it off, it might sell for four or five hundred million Federal Credits!"

"Four or five hundred million?"

Xia Na couldn't imagine how much four or five hundred million Federal Credits was.

"Mm!"

Su Yang squeezed his hand—the Green Yushan Marrow vanished from Xia Na's sight.

Xia Na's eyes frantically searched Su Yang's body, finally settling on his Space Ring.

He put it away!

Her five hundred million Federal Credits were put away!

Xia Na had an urge to rush forward and rip off Su Yang's Space Ring!

Su Yang sneered, "Why did you come back again?"

Xia Na lowered her head and whispered, "I just suddenly thought it made no sense for two King-level ferocious beasts to start fighting, so I came back to check—and I actually found treasure!"

Her words were meant to emphasize that she had discovered the Green Yushan Marrow.

She still hadn't given up.

Her mouse, however, remained perfectly still, cowering in Xia Na's hand.

Su Yang had no intention of returning the Green Yushan Marrow. Instead, he asked, "Have you taken care of your teammate's ashes?"

"I feared the ashes would hinder my movement, so I hid them halfway there—I'll retrieve them on the way back!" Xia Na said brazenly. "My lord, that Green Yushan Marrow is truly vital to me—could you please return it to me?"

"No."

Su Yang refused bluntly.

He strongly disliked being deceived.

"You're my idol!"

"I don't care."

"Then… could you give me some money?" Xia Na whispered, voice trembling. "I have younger brothers and sisters at home—I must support their education!"

Su Yang countered, "Is your grandmother bedridden?"

"My mother is bedridden!"

"Really?"

"More real than gold!"

Su Yang looked at Xia Na.

Her eyes radiated nothing but sincerity.

He was slightly swayed.

Su Yang turned toward the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly drifting slowly toward him.

He confirmed with the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly.

"She lied."

This didn't surprise Su Yang at all.

"My lord… I beg you, just give me one hundred million… even ten million would do!"

"I'll take you back to Xincheng. If what you said is true, I'll return the Green Yushan Marrow and give you a Royal-level ferocious beast egg. If you lied to me, I'll take your life. Do you accept?"

Xia Na felt an intense surge of killing intent.

She had never felt such killing intent in her life!

She knew Su Yang's words were not a joke.

She also didn't think he'd hesitate to kill her.

She knew all about Su Yang's exploits!

Su Yang fought his way out.

From the southeast, he killed his way to the west, then from the west to Shengjing, and only then did he turn to their southeast!

"I admit I lied," said Xia Na. "But my lord, you owe me some compensation! I don't want ten million anymore—just one million will do. For someone of your stature, one million should be pocket change, right?"

"Not a single coin!"

Xia Na had never met anyone so Kou Sect: "My lord, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"No," Su Yang shook his head. "I saved your life. This Green Yushan Marrow is your payment."

"But my life isn't worth that much!"

"I'm a very democratic person—I always reason with others, never bully with power!" Su Yang held up the Green Yushan Marrow. "I'll let you choose: do you want your life, or the Green Yushan Marrow?"

"Emmm?..."

Xia Na hesitated.

She wanted both.

"What if I want the Green Yushan Marrow?"

"I'll kill you, then bury you together with the Green Yushan Marrow!" Su Yang pulled out a dagger. "Don't worry—I'm a man of my word."

Xia Na took a deep breath: "Then I'll give the Green Yushan Marrow to my lord."

She conceded defeat!

She backed down!

She had never met anyone so reasonable!

Su Yang happily accepted Xia Na's Xie Li and asked casually: "By the way, are you interested in joining the army?"
