Xu Yi stood dazed for a long while. Then, suddenly, he lifted the restriction and let the Golden Roc Demon King's immortal soul return to his body.
With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the Golden Roc Demon King a Sumeru Ring. "Give the resources inside to White Wolf. I'll verify everything with him someday. If you dare skim even the tiniest bit, I'll hunt you to the ends of the earth and take your life." With that, he drifted away.
In his heart, how could he not want to kill the Golden Roc Demon King and be done with it? But compared to revenge, he knew he had to repay his debt of gratitude first. White Wolf had done him a great kindness, and given his friendship with the Golden Roc Demon King, if White Wolf were here now, he would surely beg for the other's life, even at the cost of his own.
Putting himself in White Wolf's shoes, Xu Yi could only let the Golden Roc Demon King go to repay that kindness. Besides, he had given the Golden Roc Demon King a wealth of resources to take back to White Wolf. Even so, he still felt he owed White Wolf, and had yet to repay him in full.
"Always avenge a grudge, always repay a kindness. Even with murder burning in your heart, you can still put yourself in someone else's shoes. Xu Yi, do you know why I, Desolate Charm Old Ancestor, am still willing to help you, even though you're such a sinister, slippery, shameless lowlife with no bottom line? It's because of that last little virtue of yours. It lets you retain the faintest trace of humanity." Seated high inside the Starry Sky Ring, Desolate Charm offered his appraisal with casual serenity.
