Li Yang: "..." This guy really is asking for an exorbitant amount.

A place of that scale, the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain, only has 5 million points.

That 50 million malice is equivalent to ten major events comparable to the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain.

Are you kidding me? Even if Li Yang is capable of causing trouble, she couldn't generate this much malice in such a short time.

The Flower of Evil knew its expectations were too high, and said sheepishly, "Actually, the higher the realm, the higher the concentration of Malice Points. For example, in this Personal Disciple Tournament... it might even reach 5 million."

Li Yang said coolly, "Yes, we're only 45 million short of 50 million."

The Flower of Evil coughed lightly and said, "How about this, twenty-five million..."

"Fine, give me 25 Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower."

The Flower of Evil retorted irritably, "I coexist with you and can protect you, isn't that enough?"

I don't need your protection.

"..."

Li Yang then said, "How about this, 5 million Malice Points and five Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower."

The Flower of Evil roared, "Malice isn't worth that much! If I were to throw a Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower into a small Realm Domain, I could easily reap 10 million units of malice!"

Li Yang remained unmoved and said, "Then go throw it away."

Flower of Evil: "..."

He dared not.

Firstly, the Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower is too rare for him to part with; secondly, the price of doing so would be too high, and it might attract even more people to covet it.

If the Upper Three Realms were to find out that he possessed so many Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower, even if the Huaxia Heavenly Palace were to mobilize, it would likely be unable to defend the Evil Domain.

Therefore, the Flower of Evil never dares to throw the Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower into other minor Realm Domain, even though it would easily earn him Malice Points, he dares not risk himself.

Li Yang had been observing the Flower of Flower of Evil's expression, and seeing that his hesitation was showing signs of wavering, she roughly knew what was going on.

The preciousness of the Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower is beyond doubt.

Si Kui wants to quickly advance to the Divine Venerable Realm after advancing to the Ninth-Grade Supreme, she needs at least ten Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower.

Let alone ten, even if you emptied the entire Huaxia Heavenly Palace, you probably couldn't gather three Ninth Grade Innate Sacred Object.

Therefore, Li Yang could only continue to fleece people from the Flower of Evil.

The Flower of Flower of Evil's expression revealed his psychological value.

It's obvious that he's willing to exchange a Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower for 10 million Malice Points.

But he dared not throw the Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower into other Realm Domain, as that would bring trouble upon himself.

10 million Malice Points is quite a lot.

Thousand Flowers Realm Domain is really difficult to manage.

Li Yang thought for a moment and said, "How about this, 20 million Malice Points and ten Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower."

The Flower of Evil, with a toothache, exclaimed, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

This is equivalent to exchanging a Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower for 2 million Malice Points, which is a huge loss for the Flower of Evil.

It was very difficult for him to cultivate the Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower, and he also needed to use it regularly, so he didn't have that many in stock!

Li Yang added, "25 million Malice Points."

The Flower of Evil retorted irritably, "Do you think I'm an idiot?!"

"26 million."

Do you think I'm a beggar?!

"2700..."

Before Li Yang could finish speaking, this flower couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out, "30 million!"

Li Yang quickly replied, "Deal."

Flower of Evil: "..." Did she trick him again?!

Li Yang said, "Let's sign it. Let's get used to our symbiotic relationship beforehand."

The Flower of Evil felt a sharp pain in her heart, yet she was also extremely envious of the malice that Li Yang had offered.

The Thousand Flowers Realm Domain and the Lost Space Society together have 10 million Malice Points.

The key point is that the purity of these 10 million units of malice is extremely high, much richer than that extracted from an entire Realm Domain.

Once the Flower of Evil has tasted its sweetness, all one desires is another five million.

Fine, the Flower of Evil is too lazy to argue with Li Yang.

If he has enough malice, he doesn't need to use so many Sacred Heart Flower.

It's actually quite good that he can use this thing to keep Li Yang hanging.

The Flower of Evil unleashed the Time Rewind, extracting a Spacetime Puppet of its own from over 800,000 years ago.

This took a heavy toll on the Flower of Flower of Evil; his face turned several shades paler.

Li Yang looked at the Flower of Evil before her with curiosity and clearly sensed its difference.

The Flower of Evil before them still had long, dark red hair, but instead of being tied up in a neat high ponytail, it cascaded down her back, reaching her ankles.

He wore a loose-fitting dark-colored garment, tied only at the waist, revealing glimpses of his chest and abdominal muscles and lean, muscular legs.

Li Yang: "..."

There was definitely no malicious intent, but how... cough...

The Flower of Flower of Evil's thoughts fell upon this Spacetime Puppet, and the Spacetime Puppet's somewhat bewildered and naturally alluring aura suddenly changed, reverting to the Flower of Evil's current arrogant and flamboyant demeanor.

The Flower of Evil raised her hand, tied her long hair back, and then touched her clothes, changing into a tight-fitting black combat uniform and mid-calf leather boots.

The Flower of Evil noticed Li Yang's gaze and said, "What, do you prefer the old me?"

Li Yang said calmly, "It's not a matter of 'more'."

Flower of Evil: "?"

Li Yang: "After all, I've never liked anyone."

Flower of Evil: "..."

"Don't waste time," Li Yang said, "Let's sign the contract."

The Flower of Evil snorted coldly, and a jet of dark light emanated from its fingertips, landing on Li Yang's heart.

This Symbiotic Contract requires connection to the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

Once completed, it must be adhered to to the end.

Li Yang had previously heard that those in the Divine Venerable Realm could break free from the constraints of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, but now she knew that it was just a rumor spread in the Astral Realm by the Upper Three Realms, who had monopolized the Divine Venerable Realm.

The Divine Venerable Realm is indeed powerful, but it's still far from transcending the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

If they truly transcend the Heavenly Dao, they will no longer be bound by that singular Divine Venerable Authority.

Li Yang was always cautious. She described the details of the Symbiotic Contract very meticulously, making sure nothing was overlooked before finally choosing to accept it.

Immediately afterwards, a clean black stream flowed into Li Yang's Spirit Sea, and the outline of the Flower of Evil appeared in Kongzhi.

Li Yang had always been on high alert towards him, and this was the first time the Flower of Evil had entered his Spirit Sea.

Although it was obtained by exchanging ten Grade Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower, the Flower of Flower of Evil was inexplicably delighted and was preparing to wander around Li Yang's Spirit Sea...

Suddenly, a snow-white barrier appeared in front of him, rendering him completely immobile.

Flower of Evil: "?"

He squinted at the air and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lianxin floated on Li Yang's Spirit Sea. His adult form exuded an immense sense of oppression. He spoke calmly, "I promised you, fellow Daoist, I would protect her Spirit Sea."

The Flower of Evil scoffed and walked backward, only to bump into a snow-white barrier once more.

There were cages on both the left and right sides; Lianxin had actually built him a "cage"!

"Li Yang!" the Flower of Evil roared, "Are you just going to let this Pure Lianxin run rampant?!"

Li Yang's voice rang out. "Don't wander around in my Spirit Sea; it will interfere with my cultivation."

The Flower of Evil stared at Lianxin and asked, "Why...?"

Lianxin volunteered, "I never wander off. Even if you come to her Spirit Sea, you will only come to me."

Flower of Evil: "..."

He wanted to scold Lianxin, but Li Yang was protecting him, and scolding him would do him no good.

What frustrated the Flower of Evil even more was that it couldn't break free from the barrier set up by the Lianxin, because it wasn't its true form.

If it were his true form, he could tear apart Pure Lianxin's little tricks in an instant!

But he couldn't possibly place his physical body in Li Yang's Spirit Sea; that... was too insecure. He wasn't as naive as Pure Lianxin.

Thinking of this, the Flower of Evil decided not to bother arguing with Lianxin anymore.

Since he's already inside Li Yang's Spirit Sea, he can confidently head to the First Realm Domain and reap a large amount of malice!

The Flower of Evil looked up at Lianxin and said, "How many lotus seeds did she trick you out of?"

Lianxin said, "Fellow Daoist, you did not lie to me."

The Flower of Evil rolled her eyes and changed her tune. "She sent you back to the Lotus Domain and asked you how many lotus seeds you wanted?"

Given Li Yang's greedy nature, and his encounter with such an easily deceived Pure Lianxin, I'm afraid...

Lianxin said, "One."

Flower of Evil: "???"

He exploded, demanding of Li Yang, "Why?! Sending him back to the Lotus Domain is far more difficult than three million malices, why do you only want one?!"

Li Yang ignored him.

Lianxin added, "But I don't plan to give you just one lotus seed. When she sends me back to the Lotus Domain, I will give her all the lotus seeds from my home."

Flower of Evil: "..."

Li Yang said sweetly, "Lianlian, even if you don't give me a single one, I will still send you back to the Lotus Domain."

Flower of Evil: "..."

A faint blush rose from the hem of Lianxin's layered robes. He said softly, "Fellow Daoist, this is a contract, and I will abide by it."

The Flower of Evil died silently, then shouted at Lianxin, "She's lying to you!"

Lianxin replied earnestly, "No."

"You..." The Flower of Evil deeply understood the proverb that circulated in the Astral Realm: You can't wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.

Pure Lianxin has probably been completely fooled by Li Yang long ago. Even if Li Yang really emptied her pockets, she'll probably still look blissful.

The Flower of Evil instantly became alert.

He would never be like Pure Lianxin...

But he seems to be overthinking it.

Li Yang's attitude towards him and towards Lianxin can be described as one of "yin" and the other of "yang"—not entirely different, but certainly diametrically opposed.

Meanwhile, Li Yang was suppressing her excitement as she carefully examined the system panel.

After she signed Symbiotic Contract with the Flower of Evil, the system panel indeed changed.

When Lianxin and she were symbiotic, Li Yang was granted a lifespan of 900,000 years that was yet to be unlocked. Later, with the system upgrade, she essentially gained a reservoir of this 900,000-year lifespan.
