Looting Corpses, Being Countered

Shen Ge saw the palm-sized, somewhat damaged shield placed beside that woman at a glance, but he did not know his goods and could not tell at all that this thing was a Law Treasure, so he did not have much interest in it.

What made Shen Ge more interested was the Storage Bag at that woman's waist. You must know this woman was at the Golden Core Stage; heaven knows what good things were inside her Storage Bag.

Pulling the Storage Bag over in one snatch, Shen Ge weighed it and then looked at that peerlessly beautiful face, sighing. "What a pity, a great beauty actually died in such a desolate place, truly a case of a tragic beauty."

"It's also fortunate you met me. I'm a person who isn't too perverted. If you met those perverts on certain platforms, you might not even be able to keep your corpse intact."

"Since I've taken your things, and I am quite a kind person, I'll let you rest in peace."

Saying this, Shen Ge reached out his hand wanting to take this woman outside the cave to bury her. Yet the moment his finger touched the other person's skin, a pair of eyes was staring right at him, rolling around.

Shen Ge swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and stammered in explanation. "Um... Big Sis... I didn't mean to take advantage of you. I... I thought you were already dead..."

The next moment, Shen Ge felt a suction force coming from the other person's body, and in the blink of an eye it had already sucked away half the Qi in his body.

His body turning soft, Shen Ge knelt sitting on the ground, and before he could even beg for mercy, the next moment he lost consciousness.

It's over, I'm going to die again. This life has truly been miserable; I hope that after dying this time I can be sent back to the urban world-it's truly dangerous here.

Under the impact of external Qi, the seal within Su Liuyue's body gradually developed a trace of a crack.

Although this Qi was very tiny, for that kind of inward-facing seal it was enough to shake its foundation.

As long as this complete seal produced a tiny crack, Su Liuyue could completely break it open herself.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Shen Ge opened his eyes dazedly, only feeling that the world before him was spinning and his head hurt fiercely.

"Am I dead? How can I still have a headache when I'm dead?"

"If you're awake, get out of the cave and stand obediently at the cave entrance."

Hearing this cold female voice, Shen Ge regained his senses all at once. He looked in the direction of the voice, and what met his eyes was precisely that woman he had seen earlier.

After being stunned for a moment, Shen Ge rolled his eyes and lay back down.

Su Liuyue looked at Shen Ge, who had lain down on the ground again, with an expression of astonishment, and she spoke up. "Don't play dead, get up!"

Calling out a few times and seeing that the other person still didn't react, Su Liuyue couldn't help furrowing her brows.

Could it be that she had absorbed too much just now and injured his foundation?

"Forget it, I'd better wait until I break the seal before talking about it."

Not knowing how much more time passed, Shen Ge opened his eyes once again. This time, however, he didn't panic, instead immediately looking at Su Liuyue's location.

Seeing that the other person was still sitting cross-legged there, Shen Ge felt that waking up was truly not the right time.

"Awake?"

Seeing the other person ask a question, Shen Ge braced himself and nodded, saying, "Awake."

"If you're awake, go out and guard the cave entrance well."

Shen Ge crawled up and walked outside. Just as he walked a few steps, he turned his head again and said in a low voice. "Um... Big Sis, the previous matter was a misunderstanding. Can you let the lesser one off this once?"

"Get out."

Without getting a definite reply, Shen Ge walked toward the cave entrance with a palpitating and uneasy heart.

Arriving at the cave entrance, Shen Ge glanced at the cliff not far away. Although he desperately wanted to run, the moment he thought of that woman being a Golden Core Stage existence, he didn't dare run. No matter what, could something running run faster than something flying?

"People from the Spirit Moon Sect shouldn't kill casually, right?"

Shaking his head, Shen Ge honestly and dutifully began doing the work of security.

Two days later, a cold voice suddenly came from inside the cave.

"Come in."

Shen Ge was slightly startled. Telling him to go in-it seemed that woman's injuries had healed, and next would probably be the final judgment.

Yet Shen Ge was completely powerless to resist, and could only obediently walk inside.

Stepping into the stone chamber, Shen Ge lowered his head without looking at the other person, trying his best to use a respectful tone to ask, "Big Sis, why did you summon this younger brother?"

Su Liuyue slowly walked up to Shen Ge and looked him up and down, only after a moment parting her thin lips to say, "You saved my life, which counts as me owing you a favor. Do you have anything you want? I shall grant you anything."

"Although your behavior was somewhat offensive, considering that you were also acting out of good intentions, I won't pursue this matter."

Hearing that the other person not only wouldn't kill him but would also give him benefits, the heart that Shen Ge had hanging these past few days finally dropped back into his stomach.

He raised his head to carefully take a look at Su Liuyue. The wound on the other person's abdomen had already healed, and she had also changed into a new set of clothes. White clothes like plain snow, she truly possessed an air of detachment from the mortal world, as if about to ascend to immortality.

Shen Ge thought for a moment, and said with an earnest expression, "Currently every time this younger brother travels, he has to carry big and small bundles of supplies, which is extremely inconvenient. If Big Sis is willing, might you gift this younger brother a Storage Bag?"

"You just want this?" Su Liuyue was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected what this person sought to be so simple.

Shen Ge nodded and said, "Just want this."

Su Liuyue didn't ask further either. She directly took out the Storage Bag of that Devil Cultivator she had collected earlier, used her Divine Sense to investigate it once and put away those rather evil items, and then handed the Storage Bag over.

"There are still some medicinal pills and Spirit Stones inside. I have no use for them, so I'll gift them to you together."

"This Storage Bag belonged to a Golden Core Devil Cultivator; it has twenty cubic meters of space inside, which is enough for you to use."

If this Storage Bag were calculated according to market price, it would be between one thousand Spirit Stones and two thousand Spirit Stones at the very least. Shen Ge took it with a dazed expression; he hadn't expected this woman to be so generous, as he originally thought getting a Storage Bag of a few cubic meters would be considered not bad.

"Are you a Rogue Cultivator?" Su Liuyue suddenly asked a question.

Shen Ge, who had been somewhat dazed by that pleasant surprise, was startled for a moment before hurriedly replying, "Big Sis, this younger brother is indeed a Rogue Cultivator, and has just now emerged from a place of secluded cultivation in retreat."

Su Liuyue thought for a moment, then took out a token and tossed it over. "To be able to step into the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement at such an age, your natural talent can still be considered passable. This is the disciple token of Divine Sword Peak of the Spirit Moon Sect. If you are willing to go to our Spirit Moon Sect, you can rely on this token to directly pay respects and enter Divine Sword Peak."

Catching the token, Shen Ge glanced over it. The token was entirely black with exquisite carving, and an imprint of a golden longsword was carved upon it, looking quite good.

Putting away the token, Shen Ge cupped his fists and bowed solemnly, saying, "Many thanks, Big Sis. This younger brother might not be able to go to the Spirit Moon Sect for the time being, as there are still some matters in this mortal world waiting for this younger brother to handle. However, once this younger brother finishes handling these matters, he will consider going to the Spirit Moon Sect."

"Just follow your heart's intent. Giving you the token is merely giving you one more path, I am not forcing you to enter the Spirit Moon Sect," Su Liuyue said coldly.

The conversation gradually grew cold. Shen Ge thought for a moment and still decided to ask about a matter that had been plaguing him all along. "Big Sis, if it's convenient for you, might you check this younger brother's Spirit Root for him? This younger brother has cultivated for so long and still has never known what kind of Spirit Root he is, and has always been clueless about what kind of Cultivation Method is suitable."

Hearing this, Su Liuyue raised her hand and placed it on Shen Ge's wrist. Her Divine Sense followed his wrist into Shen Ge's body, and after a short while she let go of her hand and spoke. "Metal Spirit Root, top-grade, extraordinary natural talent."

This actually made Su Liuyue somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that someone she met at random could actually have such good aptitude, and moreover be a Rogue Cultivator, though this was also normal.

After all, cultivation spoke of affinities; without that affinity, no matter how good the natural talent was, it would be buried.

"So it's a Metal Spirit Root. No wonder the little flame I conjure up has such weak might."

"Is there anything else you ask for?"

Shen Ge shook his head hastily, saying, "Gone."

"Being able to get a Storage Bag of this tier is already supreme fortune, I naturally dare not covet other things."
