Chapter 6072: I’m Hungry
Unfortunately, the stakes in the temples were even higher. The ghosts here demanded everything including life itself, turning the other parties into commodities.
Nevertheless, both sides had to be willing. The form of the transaction could be a bet or a prayer; the outcome depended on the process.
The temples were elusive under ordinary circumstances and required sincere wishes to appear. A top ten list existed - Darkmoon, Money, Armory, Ghostway, Ghost Monarch...
The big shots such as emperors and desolate gods knew them too well. The ordinary market no longer satisfied them, only the richer temples.
Li Qiye analyzed the area and said: “This creepy place won’t be as nice as the main market.”
“Yes, Young Noble, it is rather unpredictable compared to the market’s transactions.” Six-style nodded and could hear strange whispers.
“Strange, I couldn’t hear the forest’s noises before.” She became surprised.
“It’s because your heart is clear without impurities now.” Li Qiye smiled.
Six-style pondered the matter - her cultivation was fully destroyed so she started again from the beginning. She had no shortcuts and took it step by step - this put her heart and mind at peace, plagued with lofty goals and fantastical targets no longer.
“So it is due to your teachings, Young Noble.” Six-style bowed, appreciating her new mental state.
“Indeed, it’s been a long time since I felt the warmth of divinity.” The old woman shuddered as if unable to handle the chilling breezes. The lack of divinity made her feel cold and starved.
Li Qiye looked her up and down before exclaiming: “You’re quite something, still remember yourself, and haven’t undergone any transformation.”
“Sir, I found a way to live a bit longer without transforming.” She said.
“So you traded your divinity for lifespan.” Li Qiye understood.
“Yes, since my lifespan was running out, but I didn’t expect it to go like this.” She said with a dejected expression.
“Transaction or transformation, both a heavy price.” Li Qiye said: “Your divinity was ample indeed, exchanging it back in Soulcast Land long ago and still lasting until now. Look at you now, an abomination living a borrowed life.”
“All of her divinity...” Six-style took a deep breath.
“Sir, please give me some divinity.” The old ghost seemingly regretted her choice before asking for help.
“Why should I spare any?” Li Qiye smiled.
She hurriedly said: “I will exchange lifespan for a sliver of divinity, Sir. Your divinity is boundless.”
