Capítulo 2440: Chapter 38: Lici Arrives at the Dao Palace! Saintess Signs the Contract
For ordinary True Immortals, having Rank Six Spirit Rice to eat is already a delight, as so poorer True Immortals can only afford Rank Five Spirit Rice most of the ti and only indulge in a bit of Rank Six Spirit Rice during festivals.
But the Water Moon Saintess is different. While in the Water Moon Heavenly Abode, all her resource supplies were of the highest grade. Usually, sixty percent of the Spirit Rice she ate was Rank Six, and forty percent was Rank Seven.
“Yui~” the Water Moon Saintess said weakly, her eyes vacant, “I have no appetite, you eat by yourself. I feel like I’ve been a total failure of a Saintess, buried under debt, too scared to even return to the Heavenly Abode.”
“It’s indeed a bit of a failure.” Yao Yui said candidly, raising a bowl and starting to scoop up her Rank Six Spirit Rice. “The Sacred Supre sent a ssage saying that soone is holding a banner demanding debts at the entrance of the Water Moon Heavenly Abode. But this ti, the Sacred Supre said there are rightful creditors for every debt, and until you clear them, you are not allowed to set foot back into the Heavenly Abode. An Qing Old Ancestor, you… sigh~”
The real na of the Water Moon Saintess is [Yao Anqing], and she is from the Tianrui Yao Clan of the Immortal Clan. Because of her extraordinary talents from a young age, she was taken as a disciple by the Water Moon Sacred Supre and eventually beca a generation of Saintess.
Of course, the Tianrui Yao Clan is proud of her, but now…
Because she has not appeared, people are even blocking the gates of the Tianrui Yao Clan. The few Old Ancestors at ho are struggling to cope and sighing all day.
“Yui, are you really not going to comfort ? You’re eating so happily…” The Water Moon Saintess looked at Yao Yui in disbelief and then sat up in frustration to join the al, grumbling, “Don’t worry, I’ll repay the debts I owe~”
“With what? This ti you owe a total of over eighty Immortal Spirit Stones!” Yao Yui said helplessly, “Even if the family can co up with that much liquid cash to pay off the debt, the family’s financial situation would beco very strained afterward.”
The total assets of a strong Immortal Clan certainly far exceed eighty Immortal Spirit Stones. But assets are assets, and liquid cash is cash. Most families naturally resist selling family assets, considering it as selling the ancestral property, which would bring sha to the ancestors and be seen as a symbol of family decline.
“Uh… actually I also owe Young Master Shouzhe twenty Immortal Spirit Stones of principal…” The Water Moon Saintess blushed and felt hot all over.
“Another twenty?” Yao Yui, with a headache, held her forehead and said, “No wonder, Young Master Shouzhe sent word, saying he wants to et you.”
“Young Master Shouzhe wants to see ?” Upon hearing this, the Water Moon Saintess beca extrely nervous, “You, you, you… you didn’t let him co over, did you?”
“Yes~” Yao Yui nodded matter-of-factly, “How could I refuse Young Master Shouzhe’s request?”
“Oh no, it’s over.” The Water Moon Saintess’s face imdiately fell, looking like she was about to cry without tears. “When I borrowed the money, I was so confident that I promised him dividends, and now I’ve ended up so pitifully, won’t he laugh himself to death? If he sees in such a sorry state, won’t I be utterly embarrassed?”
“An Qing Old Ancestor, don’t worry yet.” Yao Yui said, “Actually, Young Master Shouzhe is quite a nice person. He heard about your situation and said he could help you initially cover the debts.”
What?!
The Water Moon Saintess was flabbergasted, her beautiful eyes almost popping out of their sockets: “Young Master Shouzhe is willing to help with my debts?”
In an instant, she was so moved that tears almost fell.
“There might be so conditions.” Yao Yui said seriously, “After all, your debts add up to the equivalent of a Chaos Spirit Stone.”
“Conditions? What conditions?” The Water Moon Saintess hurriedly asked.
“Not sure, but thinking from the Young Master’s perspective, An Qing Old Ancestor, you really don’t have much to offer him.” Yao Yui said, furrowing her brow.
“How can I not?” The Water Moon Saintess imdiately beca displeased, raised her head confidently, and pointed at herself, “At least I am a Saintess, with so beauty to offer.”
“…” Yao Yui looked at her disheveled and spiritless appearance and couldn’t help but shake her head, “The Young Master is only over four hundred years old… and you’re already three thousand.”
“What’s wrong with being three thousand?” The Water Moon Saintess argued, with righteous indignation, “I am a Saintess about to advance to the mid-stage of a True Immortal, is three thousand very old? Isn’t it just beauty? You ask him to co over, and I’ll give it to him.”
“Fine, then you better freshen up and dress nicely, An Qing Old Ancestor.” Yao Yui sighed, got up, and walked out, “I’ll arrange for the Young Master to et you as soon as possible.”
“Yui, are you serious about this?” The Water Moon Saintess suddenly panicked a bit.
“What else?” Yao Yui said helplessly, “Your Master doesn’t want to repay, and the family is under great pressure, this can’t be dragged out… Besides, Young Master Shouzhe is so handso, has high bloodline, you wouldn’t lose out. I can’t even wish for such an opportunity~”
With that, Yao Yui gracefully left the secret chamber, leaving the Water Moon Saintess sitting in place, her eyes vacant.
…
