Chapter 892: Saviour Tax
The crack in the enchantment was big enough for more than a dozen people to pa.s.s through the next day. Yun Chujiu smugly touched her nose. What had she said earlier?! The prediction was accurate!
“Everyone, work harder. When the crack grows bigger, rush out according to the order of attack. Don’t worry. The five of us will stay at the end. We will ensure that you can get out safely!” Yun Chujiu continued to wave the small veil and shouted.
Initially, everyone felt a little uneasy when they saw that Yun Chujiu, Di Beiming, and the other three did not partic.i.p.ate in the attack. Now that they heard Yun Chujiu say this, they could not help but feel ashamed. It was a textbook definition of not judging a book by its cover! They thought that they were slacking off, but in the end, they were the ones who were going to stay behind for everyone’s sake.
Some took the initiative to ask the last batch to evacuate together with Yun Chujiu and the others. Yun Chujiu nodded in agreement and remembered all these people in her heart. These were the people who could be befriended in the future. At the critical moment, one could even see a person’s true character.
Another day pa.s.sed. The crack was by then large enough for dozens of people to rush out together.
Yun Chujiu let the cultivators retreat first according to the order, and the demonic beasts were put into her spirit beast bag. She complained in his heart. The Spirit Beast Bag that was given to me by the Pretty Boy seemed to have limitless capacity. It can actually continue to hold so many demonic beasts.
Di Beiming learned from the lesson of the ancient sword tomb and did not leave Yun Chujiu’s side for a moment. Xue Wuji also stayed by her side, ready to be a hero at the critical moment to save the damsel in distress.
However, the evacuation was uneventful. Yun Chujiu and the last group of people also safely withdrew from the enchantment.
When the cultivators who went ahead saw Yun Chujiu and the others exit the barrier, they immediately cheered!
At that time, it was already evening outside. The sunset glow in the sky was particularly gorgeous. When everyone saw the beautiful scene in front of them, they felt as if it a lifetime had pa.s.sed.
Those cultivators thanked Yun Chujiu in droves. Some of them even had red eyes. They would have hugged Yun Chujiu’s thigh and howl were it was not for the fact they would get in trouble for doing that to a woman.
Before Yun Chujiu could say anything, Xue Wuji curled his lips and said, “You should at least be sincere in your thanks, right? My little ninth sister risked her life to save you. She has no blood relations with you, yet you have the nerve to say a few words of thanks and it’s over?
Do you think it’s appropriate for you to let my little ninth sister enter such a perilous place and return empty-handed? Do you think you can live with your conscience if you go back like this? Aren’t you afraid that you would be haunted by guilt in the future?
Don’t you know what my little ninth sister likes the most? Spirit Stones, spirit tools, spirit herbs, anything is fine! My little ninth sister is just too shy to accept them. I’ll keep them for her! Come on everyone. I guess you’re tired too. After you give your thanks, you can go to sleep!”
“Brother Wu Ji! How can you say that?! You are trying to repay us with kindness. That is not right! Everyone, don’t listen to my brother. I have never asked for anything in return when I do good things. You don’t have to feel guilty. Although I feel a little regretful that I didn’t pick any spirit herbs, and although I almost died in there and suffered some psychological damage, you really don’t have to give me any thanks. You really don’t have to give me any spirit tools, spirit herbs, or Spirit Stones.” Yun Chujiu said with a smile.
Everyone was speechless…
Do you think we are all fools? You two are playing good cop, bad cop! This is a trick to get something!
However, everyone did not object. How much was life worth? Life was priceless. Not to mention that the little girl only wanted a small token of appreciation, even if she wanted all of their wealth, they would give it to her.
