Chapter 289

Quinn frowned slightly when he heard Liliath's request.

The death warrant was issued by the Federal Government, and there was no such thing as revoking it. There was only one way to nullify the death warrant, and it was the death of the person on the death warrant list.

"Ordinary people might not know about Vampiric Vines, but you should know very well what kind of monster it is. If Gu Ding wasn't here today, I'm afraid no one here would be alive. Moreover, if Gu Ding hadn't caught it just now, it would've been a huge disaster for the entire Dragon Cove if it had escaped. In this sense, Gu Ding is the savior of everyone here. "

"Moreover, we didn't commit the crimes listed on the death warrant. You should know this, Lady Quinn, the Lord, and even the Speaker of Congress should know this very well. You applied for the death warrant because you couldn't get away with it, so you pushed all the blame on us … "

"I don't have the authority to interfere with the death warrant. I'm just a guardian." Quinn was not lying. A guardian was only responsible for protecting a Cosmic Nation and had no right to interfere with the regime, the Lord, and the Congress' decisions. Even though she was highly respected in Faye Cosmic Nation and many people, including Elizabeth, respected her, she had no right to speak.

At that moment, Elizabeth stood up and said, "There's no precedent of revoking the death warrant, but I'll try my best to apply for the Federal Government to revoke it. If it weren't for you this time, Dragon Cove, the capital of Faye Cosmic Nation, would've completely become a dead planet. On behalf of all the people of Dragon Cove, I must thank you! "

Elizabeth bowed calmly. Not only did it not arouse anyone's disdain, but it also gained more respect.

"In that case, let's talk about the price!" Liliath saw that Elizabeth had lowered herself to such an extent, so she did not pursue the matter any further and turned to Quinn.

"Gu Ding got a lot of beast blood and spirit fruits from Johnny. You've improved so much during this time, I'm sure you know the effects of beast blood and spirit fruits." Quinn looked at Liliath. "How about a hundred and twenty bottles of beast blood?"

"Two hundred!" Lilliath did not even think about it as she demanded an exorbitant price.

"I have less than 130 bottles left …" Kane was speechless.

"In that case, I'll add another hundred spirit fruits!" Lilliath was indeed a bargaining guru. She made Gu Ding feel ashamed of his inferiority.

"Thirty …" Kane's expression turned ugly.

Right at this moment, an energy fluctuation not far away interrupted the two's negotiations.

"Is that … a projection of a god's will?" Discussions could be heard from the crowd.

Gu Ding and the others looked up at the changing clouds in the sky. This time, the changing clouds covered almost half of the planet, and the pressure coming from the sky was frighteningly strong.

Even Gu Ding's heart was filled with an irresistible feeling.

"This … should be the projection of a higher deity's will …" Neptune's tone did not sound too relaxed. "However, it shouldn't be us. It's very likely that it's coming for the Demonic Bloodsucking Vine."

Kane, who was not far away, did not continue haggling. Instead, he looked up at the sky, patiently waiting for the higher deity's will projection to descend.

A white beam of light shot down from the distant sky, but it was not shot vertically. Instead, it was projected diagonally onto the square where everyone was standing.

After a while, the thick beam of light dissipated, and a figure appeared in front of everyone.

It was a tall middle-aged man wearing a bright-colored flowery shirt. The top two buttons were unbuttoned, revealing the thick black chest hair on his chest. The lower half of his body was a pair of beach shorts that barely reached his knees, and his calves were also covered with thick black leg hair. On his feet was a pair of gorgeous golden slippers. The slippers seemed to have a reflective coating that sparkled under the sun. However, this was not the brightest part. The brightest part was his hairless head. It was round and had a faint oily sheen. Under the light, it reflected a white glow.

Compared to his outfit and bald head, there was nothing special about his face. It was the kind that would be lost in a crowd.

"Hello everyone, my name is Willis!" Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the bald middle-aged man waved enthusiastically at everyone. "I'm 180981 years old this year, and I'm still single. Ladies who are also single can consider going on a date or something …"

He was clearly a higher deity powerhouse, but he did something like that the moment he arrived. It completely overturned his image as a powerhouse.

The corners of many people's mouths twitched slightly. "Is this guy here for a blind date?"

Before the brief self-introduction could be completed, the Demonic Bloodsucking Vine, which was in a daze, gradually woke up and started thrashing violently again. When the bald middle-aged man named Willis saw the Vampiric Vines, he seemed to have remembered the purpose of his trip. He stretched out his hand and spread his fingers. A giant energy net automatically formed and tied up the huge Vampiric Vines.

Then, he saw the black chain in Gu Ding's hand that was binding the Demonic Bloodsucking Vine. In a flash, he appeared beside Gu Ding. "Young man, did you catch this big guy?"

"Yes." Gu Ding did not deny it.

"Well done." Willis nodded in satisfaction. "I'm a supervisor of the Federal Government. I wonder if I can handle this Demonic Bloodsucking Vine's will projection?"

"No! We caught this Demonic Bloodsucking Vine. If you want it, uncle, you'll have to give us something in exchange, "Lilliath suddenly interrupted.

Only then did Willis notice that there were two little girls behind Gu Ding. The one who spoke was looking at him with her hands on her hips.

"Little girl, what do you want?" Willis was not angry. Instead, he asked politely.

"That big sister over there just offered 120 bottles of beast blood and 30 spirit fruits in exchange. If you offer a higher price than her, we'll give it to you. "Lilliath became bolder when she saw Willis' attitude.

Willis glanced at Kane and roughly knew why he wanted the will projection. He turned to look at Lilliath. "The beast blood and spirit fruits you mentioned are from Forget Worry, right?"

"That's right!"

"Then I don't have either of those things. Although I set up the restriction on Forget Worry many years ago, the beast blood and spirit fruits there are only of use to Lower Rank deities. They're of no use to me at all, so I've never collected them," Willis explained. "However, I can let you in and let you collect freely for ten hours. However much resources you get, it's all up to you. However, your collection must follow the rules I set before. You can't damage the ecosystem there at will. "

"Hurry up and agree!" Neptune suddenly shouted in everyone's ears. "Even people of Kane's status only have this kind of collection authority once a year, and it's only for an hour each time. Even if Johnny and Leilut live in the forest of giant trees, their collection authority is still insurmountable. "

"I agree!" Gu Ding immediately agreed when he heard what Neptune said.

Kane did not say anything more. She originally wanted to use this Demonic Bloodsucking Vine's will projection to find an opportunity to break through to Medium Rank deity. However, since the invigilator had asked for it, it must be because of the mission, so she could not argue any further.

"Sir invigilator, they're Interstellar Pirates. Isn't it against the rules to let them enter the forest of giant trees?" Senna objected with some dissatisfaction. There was a rule in the forest of giant trees that apart from the lord, no one whose cultivation level was lower than deity could enter. Every deity or lord could only bring one companion with them when they entered, and the companion could not leave the companion's side. These two rules had caused him to only enter the forest of giant trees three times over the years. However, Senna was tactful and did not mention the death warrant.

"The rules of the forest of giant trees were set by me. I'm making last-minute changes now. Do you have any objections?" Willis did not seem to like Senna. "Assisting the invigilator in completing a mission is a reward in itself. It has nothing to do with the identity of the helper. If you were the one who caught this Demonic Bloodsucking Vine, you can ask me for any reward you want. "

Senna immediately fell silent.

On the side, Lilliath lowered her voice and said to Elizabeth, "Although this Demonic Bloodsucking Vine was not sold to Sir Quinn, Your Highness, what do you think about that …"

"I'll explain to the relevant person in charge of the Federal Government and apply to revoke it. Don't worry." Elizabeth nodded at Lilliath.

"Thank you!" Although Gu Ding did not really care, it was not good to have a bad reputation.

At the same time, Willis pressed a button on his left wristwatch, and a space gap appeared. Willis kicked the Vampiric Vine, sending it flying into the crack in space. Soon after, the crack closed up.

"They can stuff such a big guy into the pet space?!" Gu Ding could not help but mutter in a low voice.

"Young man, this is not the pet space. It's an alternate space specially opened for us by Skynet. We can release living things into it. The pet space can only be taken in by pets that have signed a contract. Moreover, for such a big guy, the cost of buying the pet space is very high. "When Willis heard Gu Ding mention the pet space, he immediately gave him some general knowledge. "If you're ready, let's go to the forest of giant trees now. I also want to capture the Demonic Bloodsucking Vine as soon as possible so that we can complete the mission earlier."

"Sir, can I go with you?" Quinn hesitated for a moment but still made the request. She really wanted to watch the battle between Willis and the Demonic Bloodsucking Vine.
