538 Sucking

Liu Yao was not annoyed by the old beggar’s accusation.

“Old mister, you must be joking. Of course, I won’t do a losing business. If Brother Lu can take out something of equivalent value, I can naturally offer the Nascent Soul Fruit with both hands.”

The old beggar pursed his lips in dissatisfaction. “Say a thousand or ten thousand, but don’t you still want to make a deal with us? Also, do you have Nascent Soul Fruits? Why should we believe you?”

“You must be joking, sir,” Liu Yao said with a smile, “The Nascent Soul Fruit is a top-grade medicinal herb. If I had it, I’d have taken them out long ago to make a deal with you.”

Before he could finish, the old beggar spat, “Then what are you talking about here?”

Liu Yao fiddled with her fingers and said, “Old sir, don’t be anxious. I know where to find it.”

“Where?” Lu Benwei’s eyes lit up as he asked.

“Gao family!”

Hearing Liu Yao’s answer, the old beggar cursed in his heart.

Lu Benwei also smiled bitterly. It turned out that the Nascent Soul Fruit that was far away was right in front of him.

“Haha!” Liu Yao laughed. “Brother Lu, you’re thinking of attacking the Gao family? Snatch the Nascent Soul Fruit? Although Brother Lu’s talent is outstanding and you’re a peerless prodigy, don’t forget that Gao Shengqiang’s brother, Gao Shengtang, is the pillar of the Dragon Kingdom…”

“So?” Lu Benwei asked with a solemn expression, “How do you plan to help us?”

“Now, the Gao family is like fire and water with you. Even if Brother Lu were to exchange something as valuable as the Nascent Soul Fruit, Gao Shengqiang might not appreciate it. And I am willing to do you a favor,” Liu Yao said mysteriously with a fake smile.

“You mean you’re willing to exchange the Nascent Soul Fruit for us?” Lu Benwei muttered.

“Of course, the premise is that Brother Lu has to give me a treasure of the same value. Only then will I not be embarrassed to go to the Gao family.”

“Is the Pure White Snow Lotus alright?” the old beggar asked Lu Benwei.

“Old mister sure knows how to joke. Although the Pure White Snow Lotus is a top-grade medicinal herb, the Nascent Soul Fruit is of a higher grade in comparison.” Liu Yao chuckled, and a mocking look appeared on his face.

The old beggar did not notice and waved his hand impatiently. “Alright, alright, we’ll consider it. We’ll contact you when the time comes!”

Liu Yao ignored the old beggar and looked at Lu Benwei. “What do you think, Brother Lu?”

Lu Benwei was silent for a long time. No one could tell what he was thinking. Liu Yao and the old beggar stared at him blankly.

The sun gradually set in the west, and a hazy color appeared where the sky and the earth intersected. It spread to every corner of the north, south, east, and west like a painting belt.

The hard-earned warmth gradually dissipated, and the chill rose. Every breath of the three people was accompanied by warm water vapor.

“In that case, we’ll wait for Brother Lu’s reply.”

Liu Yao saw that Lu Benwei did not speak for a long time, so he took out a business card from his pocket. His business card was quite exquisite. It was printed in platinum, and his name and contact information was engraved on it.

“Wait for me in your office tomorrow morning,” Lu Benwei suddenly spoke.

“Brother Lu, are you agreeing?”

“That’s right. Tomorrow morning, I’ll bring you a treasure that will satisfy you,” Lu Benwei muttered.

“Good! Then I’ll see you there.”

After saying that, Liu Yao left with Lu Benwei and the old beggar.

…

After Liu Yao left, Lu Benwei was about to speak when the old beggar beat him to it. “No, Liu Yao is obviously a villain who hides a knife behind his smile. Did you really agree to his request?”

Lu Benwei rolled his eyes. “Right now, he’s the only one who can help us exchange for the Nascent Soul Fruit. If we don’t rely on him, who else can we rely on? Did we really need to break into the Gao family’s house and steal the Nascent Soul Fruit?”

The old beggar instantly drooped his head and stammered, unable to speak.

The Gao family has ruled Ha City for many years. They were truly a local tyrant.

Besides Leopard Hall and Tiger Sect, there was also a dragon general.

It was said that his strength had surpassed level 60. Lu Benwei’s current strength was damaged, and he did not even have 10 percent of his peak strength. If he really forced his way into the Gao family, he would die.

Lu Benwei was not that stupid, so cooperating with Liu Yao was a last resort.

“Old beggar, do you know anyone in Ha City?” Lu Benwei saw that the old beggar was a little unhappy, so he chuckled and asked.

“What’s wrong?” the old beggar glared at him and asked dryly, “Needless to say, he must be asking if the news about the Nascent Soul Fruit is true.”

The old beggar waved his hand. “No, I didn’t! If you want to find out, go and find out yourself!”

Seeing this, Lu Benwei slapped his thigh happily.

“Old beggar, your reaction is very unusual! You definitely know someone in Ha City! Let me guess who it is? Is youth the debt-holder of a love affair?” Lu Benwei laughed and teased.

“Go away, go away, you sly one. Your brain is full of yellow trash!”

Just as Lu Benwei said, the old beggar’s face turned red.

Lu Benwei no longer teased him. Instead, he straightened his expression and took out the Pure White Snow Lotus.

The old beggar blinked in confusion and said, “Didn’t I say that the value of the Pure White Snow Lotus is definitely not enough to exchange for the Nascent Soul Fruit?”

“That’s now, but not in the future.”

After saying that, Lu Benwei bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the stamen of the snow lotus. In an instant, the snow lotus seemed to come alive. Its petals opened and closed like human breathing.

The blood that dripped in the middle of the stamen was gradually absorbed by the Snow Lotus. A trace of blood appeared on the pure white petals.

“Cuckoo!” the old beggar cried out in disbelief, “How did you do that?”

“I have an origin-grade bloodline in my body. It’s the purest power of light that can purify all disasters in the world. The Pure White Snow Lotus also has a purifying effect. The power of light in my bloodline is a great tonic for it,” Lu Benwei explained.

“But, can this thing evolve with just one drop?” The old beggar could not believe it.

“Of course not. If I want the Snow Lotus to evolve into a medicinal herb as precious as the Nascent Soul Fruit, I’ll probably need all of my blood.” Lu Benwei denied.

The old beggar was dumbfounded. “F*ck! Doesn’t that mean you’ll be dead?”

“Am I that stupid?” Lu Benwei said speechlessly.

“But why do you keep dripping blood inside?”

At this moment, Lu Benwei was no longer satisfied with the blood essence from his fingertip. Instead, he cut open the artery on his wrist.

The scarlet blood was feeding the Snow Lotus. It was like a hungry baby, sucking on the supreme delicacy.
