Chapter 710

Senior Tang Mu?!!!

Watching the lazy youth who was instantly seriously injured and unable to get up, Leon, who was shocked, hurriedly reached out to support him, then released his strongest control skill toward the mysterious woman of unknown origin—

"Bow to me!"

Accompanied by Leon's shout, a large mass of brilliant curse-silver instantly split into two. Half rushed toward the 【Plague-Stained Blood Bandage】 thrown on the ground, and half exploded directly in mid-air, turning into countless sharp thin cones, shooting toward the mysterious woman like raindrops.

Although he didn't know where she came from, being able to seriously injure Senior Tang Mu instantly meant she was definitely an opponent he couldn't handle. The only possibility of a comeback right now was to rely on forced bowing to control her, then take the opportunity to pick up the 【Plague-Stained Blood Bandage】 and save Senior Tang Mu from his near-death state!

"Heh, interesting request."

The 【Prince of the Traveling Thrush】, on which Leon pinned his hopes, did not take effect. The mysterious woman who had instantly seriously injured Senior Tang Mu laughed, then raised her palm and waved it. The two masses of curse-silver, each with its own purpose, disappeared without a trace instantly, turning into several strange polished shells in Leon's hand.

【Name: Umbra Shell Coin (Holy, Currency)】

【Appearance: A petal-shaped shell polished with some rough method, with two small round holes in the middle for easy stringing with knots. The inside has Umbra script carved with stone knives, meaning "a bundle of grain."】

【Ability: True God status, forced transaction】

【Cost: Use requires the permission of the Goddess of Wealth and Trade, and ownership of this anomalous object will be lost after the transaction is completed.】

【File: Currency used by the initial kingdom of Umbra, one of the oldest types of currency for humans. It was completely abolished in the middle of the Umbra Kingdom. After being personally sanctified by the Goddess of Wealth and Trade, it became a special anomalous object with a very high status, often used by her to reward pious believers.】

【Evaluation: A special anomalous object that can conclude agreements with all targets below the True God level and forcibly achieve equivalent transactions. Although the ability is quite good, it belongs to a one-time item and requires a sufficient quantity to support its effect, so it is not too difficult to deal with.

But if the person using it is not a fanatical believer of the Weighing Gold Sect, but a woman with a clear face, capable temperament, and short-to-medium hair who looks about thirty-six or thirty-seven... then you must be careful.】

【Corruption Value: 3 (5.2)】

"..."

This description... wait! Could it be?!!!

"My God!"

The moment Leon's pupils shrank violently, the "black-and-white earthworm" in the glass bottle was already lying on the ground, performing a kowtow ceremony fanatically and respectfully.

"So disappointing!"

Glancing at the Snake Spirit upon hearing the sound, and looking at its head still stained with two small clumps of dried chicken droppings, the mysterious woman said with three parts dissatisfaction and seven parts disgust:

"With your level, if you could have stayed in the Dream Realm properly and not run around, even if you weren't that person's match, you wouldn't have lost so miserably.

Instead, you had to be clever, worrying about suffering in his hands, and running away as soon as you sensed a little movement, only to be caught by them! If I hadn't come quickly, you would have been keeping that stupid toad company!"

"My God... I... ashamed..."

"If you're ashamed, remember this lesson well and don't play those little tricks of yours again!"

After scolding the Snake Spirit twice as if no one else was there, the mysterious woman looked up at Leon, whose expression was stiff, her gaze lingering on the 【Holy Spirit Pendant】 on his chest for a moment, then she said with a half-smile:

"Leon Laien... I have wanted to see you for a long time, do you know that?"

"..." Glancing at Leon, who remained silent, the mysterious woman suspected to be the Goddess of Wealth and Trade restrained the smile on her face slightly, and said with an unkind expression:

"After that stupid toad was killed by you, I went to the Dead Realm with great difficulty and redeemed part of its soul, wanting to use those soul fragments to reshape a Holy Spirit with the same authority.

However, I discovered that the soul fragments of it that fell into the Dead Realm had lost their affinity with the authority of wealth, no longer firmly believing that all things have a price, and had been completely ruined... Tell me, how exactly did you do it?"

"..."

That toad...

If his judgment was correct, the reason it collapsed in the first place was because it discovered the "Badge System," something that could not be measured by value, so it directly collapsed the foundation of its authority.

Then... what about this Goddess of Wealth in front of him? Could she be the same as that toad?

Thinking of this, Leon, whose fists were clenched tightly unconsciously, had the muscles on his cheeks tremble slightly, then asked expressionlessly:

"If you want to know the reason, why don't you 'buy' it yourself? Your Weighing Gold Sect can even buy and sell lifespans. Buying something like a 'secret' shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"Indeed, forcibly buying secrets in other people's hearts is not a difficult thing for me."

The capable woman with short-to-medium hair... the goddess nodded upon hearing this, then stared at Leon's eyes, saying with a strange look:

"But my intuition tells me that you seem to be looking forward to me doing this... Then can I assume that if I forcibly 'bought' this secret from you, my end would likely be the same as that stupid toad?"

?!!

"It seems that is indeed the case... At the very least, you should think so."

Watching Leon, whose pupils shrank slightly, the Goddess of Wealth said thoughtfully:

"To be honest, I'm really not sure now. You having such a strange idea, is it because of the shallowness and arrogance brought by ignorance, or do you really have some special trump card?"

He was seen through!!!

Being made to feel creepy by the other party's gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Leon, while feeling annoyed in his heart, blaming himself for being too obvious, forcibly resisted the strange urge to kneel and worship the other party, and supported the dying Senior Tang Mu, holding on:

"I don't know what you're talking about, but if you want to know what happened to that toad, then do it yourself and buy it!"

After speaking, Leon's cuffs lifted slightly, and he quietly aimed the polished cufflinks at the 【Plague-Stained Blood Bandage】 at the woman's feet. The young Ha inside was already ready to go.

He remembered the Director saying that Senior Tang Mu and Senior Ai Ma were both elites among Level 1 cleaners, with a level close to that of a small bureau director. Even if they weren't a match for a True God who descended in the flesh, they shouldn't be completely without the ability to fight back.

Besides, if the other party was really extremely powerful, to the point of being able to subdue Senior Tang Mu easily, why would she bother to buy the 【Plague-Stained Blood Bandage】 from his hands to prevent him from treating Senior Tang Mu's injuries?

To sum up, there is only one answer.

That is, the other party is not as powerful as she looks. She was able to easily knock down Senior Tang Mu, likely because of the element of surprise, and she is also very wary of Senior Tang Mu's abilities. As long as he can save Senior Tang Mu, maybe there is a possibility of a comeback!

So... are you still wanting to struggle a bit more?

Watching Leon, who was trying his best to look expressionless while staring at her, but whose eyes were still full of hope, the Goddess of Wealth couldn't help but shake her head slightly, then the moment she sensed the fluctuation of the Mirror World, she raised her hand and hooked slightly toward Leon's cufflinks.

Although you guessed right, because of the loss of too much power from the forced descent, I am indeed very wary of the "Dice Emperor" who has many methods, which is why I relied on a sneak attack to knock him down. I didn't even dare to take his life directly because I was worried about triggering some vicious life-saving ritual.

But no matter what, I am still a True God. The famous Unlucky Dice Emperor is one thing, but you, a Level 3 cleaner who can't even hide your soul fluctuations well, why do you think you can play tricks in front of me?
