Slap!
Ximen Kuang had originally been waiting to hear about the ten billion.
He had already prepared himself mentally. After all, Ninth-tier Mountain and Water had little to do with him. If Qin Shaofeng had not poisoned Liu Shan first, then no matter how much he said, it would have been utterly useless.
For that very reason, he did not dare calculate it at six billion.
Even three billion might not have been possible.
Even after they turned Liu Shui against the enemy, making the battle against Fan Shanhui much easier, it was still Qin Shaofeng's helpers who brought the battle to an end.
When it was all truly calculated, even ten billion from Qin Shaofeng would have been too much.
The moment he heard the figure of twenty billion, he felt as though his whole world had gone wrong.
He had already been bowing very low, and with his center of gravity shifting, he directly toppled over like a rolling gourd.
In any other setting, who knew how many people would have laughed at him.
At the very least, Xiao Ruyi and the other two would not have been able to hold back.
But now...
Everyone stood there with their mouths wide open, their eyes filled with disbelief.
This old fellow's merits in this battle alone could actually earn him a lavish reward worth twenty billion Radiant Star Coins?
Holy shit!
Was this still rewarding merit according to contribution? This was plainly sparing no effort to groom Ximen Kuang, wasn't it?
That was a full twenty billion Radiant Star Coins!
If it were truly exchanged for resources at an auction, how many cultivation resources could it buy?
"Ximen Kuang, y-you... You didn't embezzle part of our rewards, did you? That has to be it. We won't say anything more
