"Of course, it’s true. I am the Deputy Sect Master of the Golden Sword Sect. Would I lie to you?"
Huang Tao laughed, "Just 5 million spirit stones, a trivial amount. As for the Ghost Face Flower, missing one won’t matter much, after all, we have a whole field of them here."
"But well, you need to remove your mask first and let see. If you are too ugly, then I’m not interested."
Bai Mani hesitated for a mont and then extended her hand to remove the mask from her face.
Though Bai Mani was wanted, the Demon Domain was vast; apart from the mbers of the Demon God Temple, who would care?
The Golden Sword Sect might be a major force on the Blood Wind Continent, but who would be concerned about who the Demon God Temple was pursuing? Moreover, Huang Tao had been stationed here for a long ti; it was impossible for him to recognize Bai Mani.
As soon as Bai Mani’s face was revealed, Huang Tao’s eyes lit up.
A top-tier beauty indeed!
That face, that figure, that temperant...
Just by looking at her, Huang Tao was thrilled.
The next second, however, Huang Tao’s brow furrowed, suspicion in his eyes.
This woman is so beautiful, so full of poise; if she really wanted to earn spirit stones, wouldn’t it be easy?
For a rcenary job, she’d stay with him for three days?
million spirit stones?
While doubt arose in Huang Tao’s mind, Bai Mani had already coldly spoken. "I can agree, but 5 million spirit stones, not enough!"
Not enough?
Exactly!
Though 5 million spirit stones were not a small sum, for a woman of Bai Mani’s caliber, it was deservedly a bargain.
She thought the amount he offered was too little; that was right.
All suspicion vanishing from his mind, Huang Tao burst into laughter, "Alright, I’ll double it to 10 million spirit stones. Would that suffice?"
Bai Mani paused for two seconds, "Alright."
As Huang Tao walked toward Bai Mani, just about to extend his hand, Bai Mani stepped back, frowning. "This might not be the best place. Although I’ve agreed, I didn’t envisage an audience..."
Huang Tao didn’t mind and smiled, "Alright, co with !"
Bai Mani put her mask back on and followed Huang Tao out of the room, heading deeper into the canyon.
After traveling several miles, a vast water pool appeared in front of them, with a Magical Treasure-refined Siheyuan on one side of the pool, complete with artificial mountains, flowing water, pavilions, and towers - everything included.
"This is my residence. You will stay here for the next three days. Don’t worry, without my orders, no one will enter the room; you don’t have to worry about being seen..."
Bai Mani asked, "There aren’t other people here?"
Huang Tao nodded, "I dislike disturbances. Moreover, I am here to supervise their work. I won’t stay long and will return soon, so I have not asked for anyone’s service."
As Huang Tao spoke, suddenly, a huge water pillar shot up from the massive water pool; a gigantic dark shadow rose from the bottom of the pool, and then a pair of fierce and cold-blooded gigantic eyes opened on the water surface, staring fixedly at Bai Mani.
That must be the Gate Guardian Beast of the Golden Sword Sect, the Golden-eyed Crocodile King, right?
Is the Ghost Face Flower nearby the water pool?
Bai Mani scanned around but didn’t spot any trace of the Ghost Face Flower, casting doubt in her mind, wasn’t it said that the Ghost Face Flowers were near the water pool?
Bai Mani adopted a guarded and cautious deanor, whispering lowly, "Is this... a Demonic Beast?"
Huang Tao warned, "This is our Golden Sword Sect’s Gate Guardian Beast, the Golden-eyed Crocodile King, whose strength is comparable to Daluo Peak, and even stronger than a typical Daluo Peak. You better not go out these few days. Without accompanying you, you’ll be treated as an intruder and will be killed on sight!"
Bai Mani humd in response and stopped talking.
After all, the whole truth would be revealed once she dealt with Huang Tao.
Thinking about it, Huang Tao was too complacent. From start to finish, he didn’t even test her strength—he was fully convinced he had her in his grasp.
Not to ntion the hidden Lin Chen, Zhen Liuxue, and Duan Tian, Bai Mani herself was at Daluo Peak with substantial combat power, harboring no fear of Huang Tao.
Perhaps her role as a rcenary made him lower his guard. After all, who at Daluo Peak would beco an ordinary rcenary, trading her body for several million spirit stones?
"Enter!"
Huang Tao cast an art spell, unlocking the array barriers of the Siheyuan, leading Bai Mani inside, then the array closed again, separating the inside and outside into two worlds.
Huang Tao turned around, looking at Bai Mani, "There’s no third person here, and with the array providing cover, no one else can see us; there’s no need to dally. Since our cooperation has succeeded, you should show so of your worth now."
Bai Mani understood; this was him asking her to undress.
Staring at Huang Tao, Bai Mani said, "It’s still broad daylight, are you in such a rush?"
Huang Tao laughed heartily, "With such a beauty before , who can resist? Co on, pretty woman, if you feel shy, let help you then!"
Bai Mani took two steps back, placed the Linglong Tower in front of her, and smiled slightly, "Seeing how eager you are, let first give you a gift!"
