"Huff huff huff"

"Following you, really means nowhere is stable!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

In the dim cave, Meng Ze was tending to his injuries while complaining.

Li Si no longer hid inside Meng Ze's body but had transformed into a butterfly-like existence, hovering beside Meng Ze.

"I didn't know the Three Lives Stone Lineage would strike so ruthlessly, and that dog Hei Yuan wouldn't care about the alliance at all!"

"Hei Yuan? Who's that?"

"He's a great general of the Three Lives Stone Lineage!" Li Si said somewhat helplessly.

"Great general?"

Meng Ze looked at Li Si oddly. According to the information he had gathered from Li Si over time, a great general was at least a Sixth Level existence, yet Li Si, merely a Second Level Little Cultivator, dared to call Hei Yuan a dog.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm just complaining. After all, this is the Heavenly Gift Realm. If it were the Yellow Springs Realm, I wouldn't even dare mention his name!"

"Haha, that's more like it!" Meng Ze said, finding humor in his suffering.

Li Si was just the most ordinary People of the Yellow Springs. If not for some unique tricks and abilities, he would still be scavenging outside the city to survive.

"But since the Three Lives Stone side has gained another great general, what about your Naihe Lineage?"

"Don't tell me you're the only one!"

Li Si's lips curved into a bitter smile, "What else could it be? The Sunset Mountain Range isn't an important place, and it's quite impressive they sent me over to cause trouble!"

"No way, what could you do alone?"

"Dragging me through hiding and fleeing? Isn't your higher-up afraid of achieving nothing?"

"Afraid? Why be afraid? This is just some insignificant spot. If there's gain, great. If not, it's just the death of a worthless civilian like me!"

"As for the cost, even if I succeeded, I'd only become a Third Level Citizen, which for those big shots, is just a word!"

"But if we don't succeed, we might really die here!"

"So what's your real goal? Besides occupying the Sunset Mountain Range, is there no other way?" Meng Ze's heart sank. Li Si seemed unreliable, and he didn't want to die here.

"Another way?" Li Si gave a wry smile, then hesitated, "Well, there is another way, but..."

"But what?"

"Money!"

"With enough money, we can safely return, and even buy our identities!" Li Si said heavily.

"Then what are we waiting for!"

"You think money is easy to come by, huh!"

Li Si pointed to the roasting meat heating up: "A Fierce Beast at this level in the Yellow Springs Realm is considered a First Level Fierce Beast, worth only ten bucks a pound. Do you know how much money it takes to buy safety, let alone an identity?"

"It's astronomical!"

"Wait a minute, according to what you said, there's actually no need to go to such lengths to get me out of the Star Moon Tribe. Being straightforward from the start would have been better!"

"Meaning?" Li Si asked, somewhat puzzled.

Meng Ze shook his head in frustration: "If only you'd said money could solve it, we wouldn't be in such a mess now. We might have already headed for the Yellow Springs Realm, but now, sigh."

Meng Ze felt troubled. If money was all it took, why didn't you say so!

"Speak clearly!"

Thinking about their current dark life, Meng Ze said seriously: "How much money to safely reach the Yellow Springs Realm and buy an identity!"

"You really have money?"

"Stop the nonsense, how much?"

Li Si said deeply, "For a First Level Citizen and safe passage to the Yellow Springs Realm, at least a billion Life Money!"

"Which means a hundred billion Dead Money!"

"How much is a Fierce Beast like the one we just encountered worth? Do they buy it?"

"Anything valuable, they'll buy. That beast we just faced is worth about ten thousand Dead Money!"

"Wait, you said a pound costs ten bucks; that beast was surely more than ten thousand pounds!"

"That's the market price; you think we're running a shop here, selling items? Prices aren't the same!"

Meng Ze's lips twitched. A Daluo Level Fierce Beast is only worth ten thousand Dead Money; it's truly hopeless!

"But someone else might find it easy, right!"

"What are you saying?"

"Nothing, I just think we should shift focus. With just us, forget occupying the Sunset Mountain Range or opening your so-called Teleportation Gate; survival is uncertain!"

"You're not seriously considering buying your life!" Li Si said incredulously.

"Do you know how astronomical that sum is? Besides, my task isn't resolved by simply changing identity!"

"Since identities can be bought and sold, it seems that even if your task fails, as long as you can pay enough, it should suffice!" Meng Ze sneered.

Considering what he had learned from Li Si about the Yellow Springs Realm, the people there, despite having incredible things, are extremely greedy, so money probably solves most issues.

"Possible it may be, but how can such a sum be settled? The entire Sunset Mountain Range is just worth ten billion Life Money, only enough for ten people to buy identities."

"That's the Sunset Mountain Range you see, and I happen to know someone not bound by these rules!"

"Not bound by the rules?"

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by that!"

"Damn it, ignoring me is infuriating! If I weren't a butterfly Spiritual Body right now, I'd definitely punch your skull in!"
