Chapter 705: This Deal Is Worth It No Matter How You Calculate It!

"Lord Shen? Shen Yu!"

Upon hearing this name, everyone was scared pale, especially the person who had just opened their mouth to be disrespectful to Shen Yu; at this moment, they were already imagining a hundred ways to die in their mind.

It was common knowledge that Shen Yu was not easy to get along with, yet they had dared to say such bold words to him—did they even have a chance to live?

Thinking this, they instantly felt the sky had become much dimmer; didn't they see the people around them all scurrying to avoid him?

Even Luo Mingxi, who had brought them here, wished he could draw a clear line between them; it was one thing to seek your own death, but don't drag others down with you.

"This humble one did not know Lord Shen had arrived in person. My subordinates were ignorant; I deserve death!"

He bowed deeply to Shen Yu, his head almost touching the ground, while at the same time, Luo Mingxi could not help but carefully glance upward.

Everyone knew that Shen Yu had appeared in Da'an City previously.

A while ago, after such a major incident occurred in Da'an City, the Black-Clad Guards, the Capture Gate, and other government offices all stood taller; when they saw people, they carried a sense of pride, and wasn't it all because they had a Shen Yu backing them?

Such a major local snake as them could not possibly be unaware of this, so during this time, no matter what they did, they became cautious, trying their best not to affect others.

It was rumored that Lord Shen Yu did not care much about feuds in the pugilistic world; as long as it did not harm the common people or affect others, there was generally no problem.

Moreover, although their Luo family was large, to an expert like Shen Yu, they were like ants fighting. Who would bother watching ants fight?

But who could have imagined that someone like Shen Yu would suddenly intervene? At this moment, even if Luo Mingxi were lent several guts, he would not dare to make another move.

Otherwise, there would be no need for the man himself to act; he would only need to reveal such an intention, and there would be plenty of experts desperate to cling to his coattails who would happily wipe out their Luo family.

Seeing Shen Yu walking toward him step by step, Luo Mingxi was so anxious he did not know what to do, his body already soaked in cold sweat.

As it turned out, Shen Yu walked straight past him to Su Ye's side, not even glancing at him throughout the entire process, as if he had completely ignored him.

While feeling lucky, Luo Mingxi also felt a sense of loss in his heart. He had always held himself in high regard since he was young, but in reality, he didn't even qualify to be looked at.

Walking up to Su Ye, he looked the two of them up and down. At first glance, the man was dashing and talented, while the woman had skin like ice and bones like jade, standing tall and graceful. Anyone who saw them would praise them as a golden boy and jade girl.

It was just a pity that this woman had no brains, and with one blunder, she had dragged Su Ye down significantly.

As for Su Ye, he was truly devoted to this junior sister; even after being stabbed by a sword, he could let go of past grievances and was even willing to pass on all his cultivation to her.

In this day and age, people as foolish as this were rare to see.

"Su Ye, right? Give me the bead in your hand, and what I just said remains valid. I can ensure you and your junior sister are safe and sound. I assume Young Master Luo will have no objections, right?"

"No objections! Lord Shen's words will be strictly executed by my entire Luo family; I would never dare to have any objections!"

He glanced lightly at Luo Mingxi; he really could not bring himself to like such a person. It was his good luck that he hadn't been slapped to death just now.

And Luo Mingxi cooperated quite well, his smile looking almost like he was crying.

"Su Ye, are you willing to accept my proposal?"

"My Lord, could you wait until I have finished passing my cultivation to my junior sister? The process cannot be interrupted, or we will surely suffer a backlash. I ask for your understanding, my Lord."

"Do you know that you will die this way?"

"I know, but my heart meridians have already been shattered; even if I don't pass my cultivation to Qinghe, I won't last long. It is better to pass this cultivation to Qinghe so she has some means of self-preservation in this pugilistic world."

As he spoke, Su Ye accelerated, hoping to pass as much of his cultivation to his junior sister as possible. The pain of his cultivation rapidly draining away and tearing his meridians left his forehead covered in sweat.

Toward this junior sister, Su Ye could truly be described as devoted.

"Lord Shen, can you give me a little time? I will be done immediately."

"Actually, I can save you!" Walking forward and watching Su Ye's aura grow increasingly weak, Shen Yu could not help but shake his head.

"I said, as long as you are willing to nod, I will ensure you and your junior sister are safe and sound. I say you won't die, and it would be hard for you to die even if you wanted to."

"However, this bead is truly interesting!" Just a moment ago, he felt this bead was extraordinary, and now, the closer he got, the more Shen Yu could sense the bead's uniqueness.

It seemed to radiate infinite charm, as if it could steal one's soul; even he almost felt a sense of sinking into it if he looked for too long.

Walking up to the two, Shen Yu's gaze remained fixed on the bead from beginning to end, as if he wanted to see through it and uncover the secrets within.

"You two had better hurry up and decide; if you drag this out any longer, you really will stop breathing."

"Senior Brother!" Watching Su Ye's aura grow increasingly weak, Su Qinghe hurriedly said, "Lord Shen, we will trade, we will trade!"

"Good, you said it yourselves. I didn't bully you; this is a fair trade!" Reaching out a hand, he forcibly interrupted the transmission of cultivation between the two.

In an instant, a powerful force of backlash appeared, seemingly intent on tearing both parties of the transmission apart.

Just as Su Ye had said, if the transmission process were forcibly interrupted, both sides would suffer a backlash.

The reason Su Ye had not feared Luo Mingxi's interference before was that the bead contained powerful energy, which would also emit a force to protect them during the transmission process.

Therefore, ordinary people could not hurt them at all. Yet, he had not expected that the defense he thought was as solid as a fortress would be so vulnerable in Shen Yu's hands.

Just then, a powerful force blocked this backlash, and at the same time, a continuous stream of vitality poured into his body, causing Su Ye's originally pale face to quickly turn rosy.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Su Ye went from being on the verge of death to being full of vigor; his damaged heart meridians and even the sword wound on his body healed rapidly.

Although the lost cultivation could not be recovered, Su Ye felt that his entire state was now as healthy as could be.

This scene left everyone around them dumbfounded. The person who had been on the verge of kicking the bucket just a moment ago—that state was definitely not faked.

In their view, since Su Ye was injured to such an extent, even if Shen Yu could save them, it would have to take some effort; who would have thought he could finish it with just one wave of his hand.

Unfathomable, not to be trifled with!

Because of this, Luo Mingxi acted even more respectfully, desperately squeezing a smile onto his face. Even if Shen Yu wasn't paying attention to this area, he had to maintain this sycophantic, bootlicking demeanor.

Seeing the leopard through the tube, this Shen Yu was simply too terrifying. What if Su Ye asked Shen Yu to kill them? What would they do then?

"Many thanks, Lord Shen!" Feeling his injuries fully recovered, Su Ye hurriedly thanked Shen Yu. He had originally thought it was a certain-death situation; he had not expected to survive.

Although seven or eight tenths of his cultivation was lost, he was confident that it would not take long before he could cultivate it back.

It was just a pity that their sect's supreme treasure would now have to be handed over.

"My Lord!" Holding the bead with both hands, he bowed and held it high. Since Shen Yu had taken a fancy to this bead, even if he were unwilling in his heart, it was destined that he could not keep it.

Moreover, even if Shen Yu did not want it, now that the bead had been exposed, it would inevitably attract the covetous eyes of countless people. He understood the principle that an innocent man is guilty of his own treasure.

It was better to cut off one's arm to save the body and quickly give the item away, and by doing so, perhaps even build a connection with Shen Yu.

Regardless of what their true relationship was, as long as outsiders thought they had a connection, even if it was just a tiny bit of a relationship where they could speak, it would be enough to make countless people wary.

This deal, no matter how you calculate it, is worth it!

"That's enough, I'll take this thing!" Reaching out, Shen Yu grasped the Bead in his hand, then waved at them, "From now on, we owe each other nothing!"

Just as he got the Bead in his hand, the next moment a suction force came from it, like a terrifying black hole vortex, instantly draining a massive amount of Shen Yu's internal energy.

Then a glimmer of light flickered from within the Bead, growing brighter and brighter as it absorbed the endless internal energy, until finally, it pierced the clouds, as if penetrating the endless void, rushing out beyond the starry sky.

At this very moment, a pair of eyes in the endless darkness suddenly opened, seemingly piercing through time and space to look directly at Shen Yu's side.
