"Ye Luo, the problem lies in that energy barrier, which was personally constructed by the Law Enforcers with their Divine Sense and the power of Law. Although its power is not very significant, it serves as an early warning system mainly to prevent strong individuals from targeting the Gold Silk Forest. If it’s just those pests, it won’t attract the Law Enforcers’ attention. But if a cultivator comes to steal, the Law Enforcers will immediately come to destroy them!" The female scientist said with a frown.

Apparently, the Gold Silk Forest was right in front of her. To say she wasn’t anxious would be completely untrue, but she had painstakingly revived herself and naturally wouldn’t let herself fall into danger again.

Therefore, despite her seemingly carefree demeanor, in reality, she was much more cautious than Ye Luo.

"Oh? Is it the Gold Silk Wood that you need, or the essence of the Gold Silk Wood?" Ye Luo suddenly asked a question.

The female scientist looked at Ye Luo for a while, then slowly opened her mouth, "Strictly speaking, the Gold Silk Wood is almost precious all over! Naturally, we need the Gold Silk Wood, and the essence is even better! As for how to use it, you probably wouldn’t understand even if I explained!"

Of course, Ye Luo wasn’t concerned about this, as how the base would use the Gold Silk Wood had nothing to do with him. What he wanted were the resources from the base.

"Alright, then if I can obtain the essence, can you give me the essence as well?" Ye Luo asked.

Surprisingly, the female scientist stood up directly.

"Can you really get the essence?" She unexpectedly took off her sunglasses.

This was the first time Ye Luo had seen her face, perfect! Other than that word, Ye Luo simply had no other words to describe.

"I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful!" Ye Luo muttered to himself.

At this moment, her whole being exuded a unique charm that made Ye Luo feel irresistible.

Facing her felt like facing a lover!

This feeling seemed unrelated to appearance, but rather because of the aura on her, giving Ye Luo a sense of first love.

Of course, Ye Luo knew this wasn’t any cultivation technique but simply because the female scientist was extraordinarily peculiar.

She stared blankly at Ye Luo, then giggled.

"You barbarian, haven’t you seen a woman like me?" She laughed so hard she leaned forward and backward, but soon she calmed down. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Ye Luo also broke free from that feeling at this moment.

"Hehe, alright, no man can resist my charm, but don’t be infatuated with me; you’ll get hurt!" She laughed playfully.

Ye Luo understood that her inner self was not nearly as simple as her exterior! This woman, Ye Luo dared not to provoke.

"Look at you, making me forget the important matter; the essence you mentioned earlier can naturally be exchanged for resources, and a lot of resources at that!"

She then stated the exact exchange ratio.

Of course, Ye Luo wasn’t surprised. Although the essence exchanged for a lot of resources, it couldn’t be extracted much from a single Gold Silk Wood. If too much was extracted, the Gold Silk Wood would wither, and the Law Enforcers would undoubtedly investigate.

"Ye Luo, do you really have a way? If you’re not confident, we can take it slowly. After all, if discovered by the Law Enforcers, we’d be doomed!" The female scientist seriously reminded him.

Ye Luo naturally understood this principle, but moving the Gold Silk Wood would require taking a risk sooner or later!

However, now with that instrument disrupting the Law Enforcers’ Divine Sense, his pressure was significantly reduced!

Then Ye Luo’s Divine Sense withdrew from the base.

As he opened his eyes, he suddenly saw a pair of beautiful eyes intently staring into his.

Naturally, Ye Luo had already sensed that it was the Third Princess. If it were someone else, Ye Luo would’ve instinctively acted.

"You’ll scare people doing this. If you’re really infatuated with me, you might as well stay with me tonight!" Ye Luo joked.

"You! Young Master, don’t say such things. I called you many times before, but you didn’t respond; I thought something happened!" She said somewhat angrily.

She now had a contract with Ye Luo, so naturally, she spoke more politely.

"Oh? Is there anything you need from me?" Ye Luo asked her puzzled.

"Nothing special, just worried that the captain might be against us. At night is the time for pests to appear. While the chance of pests appearing consecutively is small, you may not know they’ve previously caught quite a few pests. During the day, we didn’t see them hand them over to that middle-aged man!" The Third Princess quickly explained.

Ye Luo realized the Third Princess might not have much survival experience, but in reality, she was still a highly intelligent woman!

Her analysis was reasonable. Given the pests and the captain’s cultivation, exterminating them wasn’t impossible, but it required a tremendous effort and was utterly thankless, with no meaning!

Therefore, handing the pests over to the middle-aged man seemed to resolve one of their worries!

Moreover, Ye Luo had learned they used special tools refined by the Law Enforcers to capture the pests, which mitigated many crises.

Then, since the captain hadn’t handed over the pests, perhaps he intended to find more scapegoats!

After all, damage to the Gold Silk Wood is no small matter, and if the Law Enforcers found out, not only would the captain’s life be at risk, but even that middle-aged man would be implicated!

Therefore, the best solution would be death, using the guards’ lives to quell the Law Enforcers’ fury!

Logically, the Law Enforcers shouldn’t care about the guards’ lives. After all, the Law Enforcers are high above, and these guards before them are no different than ants.

What the Law Enforcers care about is this Gold Silk Forest. These days, Ye Luo kept observing this forest and discovered a problem; once a cultivator’s Divine Soul or body enters the Gold Silk Forest, it will immediately be decomposed by the Gold Silk Wood!

Previously, Ye Luo thought that the fertilizer talk was just a joke! But now it turns out! It’s real; this Gold Silk Forest really eats people! It absorbs cultivators’ Divine Souls and bodies.

Therefore, Ye Luo had a bold hypothesis that, rather than guarding the Gold Silk Wood, these guards might be waiting to become its fertilizer!

This hypothesis shocked him, suggesting that the Holy City was essentially a fertilizer supply station!

What frightened Ye Luo the most was realizing he was a part of it!

Yet, this is ultimately just a hypothesis, and as long as he follows the rules, there’s no immediate danger.
