Chapter 49: Dividing the Spoils

  "Crackle, crackle——" The bonfire was burning.

  "Gurgling..." The boiling water churned and bubbled, emitting wave after wave of enticing aromas.

  Luoyu opened her eyes and found herself in a mountain cave, where Wang Bin and others were roasting meat and making soup.

  She was extremely tired before and didn't even know she was sleeping on top of a headless corpse with scars, later being carried by Zi Ye to this cave, only waking up now.

  "Delicious!" Luo Yu sighed.

  Luoyu woke up feeling refreshed and invigorated, smelling the savory aroma of meat, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva, got up and walked over to join the others sitting around the bonfire.

  "Hehe, Jade sister woke up! Don't worry, the meat soup will be ready soon." Bai Qi said with a smile as he stirred the meat soup.

  "Jade sister is really awesome today, she single-handedly took down three people and even killed Scarface, that's truly impressive!" Wang Bin gave a thumbs up.

  Afterwards, people talked about it and found out that among the three who died earlier, two were killed by Luo Yu, and the other was killed by Zi Ye. Zi Ye was let off, after all, he had already reached the 10th level of Qi cultivation, while Luo Yu was only at the 6th level, yet in the end, she even killed Wang Hua with a scar on his face, saving everyone from danger.

  Luoyu's face was dripping with blood, both the enemy's and her own. She held the enemy's head in one hand, her face fierce, as she loudly berated him. The image of her deeply engraved itself into everyone's hearts. Reflecting on this scene, they couldn't help but exclaim that this didn't seem like a female cultivator at all, let alone a 10-year-old girl. Even ordinary male cultivators weren't this ruthless.

  "Yes, I watched your entire battle, brave and strategic, extremely impressive!" Lu Yuan exclaimed in praise.

  "Everyone, please don't laugh at me. I was just under the protection of Lu Shixiong's formation and took advantage of my physical repair to barely kill two people. As for Knife Scar, if Wang Shixiong hadn't injured him earlier, I would have died long ago." Luo Yu spoke up to explain, she truly believed this.

  Wang Bin patted Luo Yu's shoulder: "Yu, don't be modest. We're all our own people. If you have something to say, just say it. Everyone sincerely admires you. If you want to come and try again in the future, we'll welcome you anytime."

  "Haha, then thank you Brother Wang and all the brothers! In the future, if you have a task, let my brother notify me, I'll definitely come if I have time. It was really great to go through the trial with you guys!" Luo Yu was overjoyed, knowing that this battle had truly earned her the recognition of Wang Bin and the others.

  Wang Bin pulled out several storage bags: "These are the goods collected from people like Knife Scarface. Now, let's divide up the things that can be divided and sell the things that can't be divided at the market. Later, we'll distribute them together with other spoils."

  "There are six of us in total, Jade sister should take the lead, she alone accounts for 30%, do you have any opinions?"

  Wang Bin looked at everyone and saw that they all nodded in agreement. Luo Yu had killed three out of the seven people, taking only thirty percent was indeed not excessive.

  Luoyu wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Ziyu's gaze, so she accepted it calmly.

  "Lu Yuan sets up the formation, the consumption is very large. I'll give him two-tenths, and we four will divide the remaining five-tenths evenly. Can this be done?"

  Everyone nodded in agreement.

  Soon, the Ling stones were divided into six piles, and Luo Yu had 100 middle-grade Ling stones and 30 low-grade Ling stones in front of her. She also took 10 portions of demon beast blood and spiritual grass for physical cultivation, which could be deducted from the subsequent distribution. Luo Yu was overjoyed and thought to herself that being a black-hearted person was indeed a shortcut to getting rich quickly.

  Most of these spirit stones came from Scarface's storage bag, and there were also a large number of spiritual herbs and demon beast materials. It seemed that they had basically completed their trial mission this time. Apparently, Scarface had killed many Tianxuan Sect cultivators.

  There were also twenty to thirty pieces of magical instruments, ranging from lower to upper grade, but Luo Yu and the others didn't dare to use them because they might be the belongings of their fellow sect members who had been killed. If someone asked about it, they wouldn't be able to explain clearly, so they handed everything over to Wang Bin to deal with, and after selling them, they would split the spirit stones.

  "I didn't expect to gain so much, it seems that being a black-hearted person is still very profitable, haha!" Wang Bin apparently shared the same idea as Luo Yu, "However, this time was still too thrilling, if we hadn't had Jade sister's extraordinary bravery, we would have only been able to watch from underground as others divided up our spoils."

  "Haha, isn't it?" Everyone burst out laughing together.

  However, after Master Shi's death, if he didn't have time to seize the house, then it truly disappeared from the world, and what was said about being underground was just a joke.

  "Now our task is only left with collecting the golden mouse's fur, let's rest for two days first, then we'll set out to find the golden mouse."

  Wang Bin made an action plan with everyone and assigned Luo Yu to draw more symbols for the next two days in preparation for any unexpected situations.

  "Alright, let's stop talking about official business and have dinner!" Bai Qi knocked against the ladle, "First bowl, for our Jade sister first."

  "Thank you, Bai Shixiong!" Luo Yu took the bowl of soup, which was made by simmering the Moonlight Rabbit's bone frame with some spiritual materials, emitting a fragrance that tempted people. After taking a sip, the broth was delicious and refreshing, and a small amount of spiritual energy entered her meridians.

  "It's really delicious, much better than what my brother did last time." Luoyu was referring to her previous trial when Ziyu taught her how to cook.

  "Zi Yun, how can you compare with Bai Shixiong? His craftsmanship is learned from Bai Shixiong." Zhao Yucheng burst out laughing, "Come on, Jade sister, try my roasted Moonlight Rabbit Meat. If we talk about roasting meat, I'm the best!"

  "Thank you, Zhao!" Luo Yu smiled and took it over, a rabbit leg with golden yellow oil shining on it, obviously brushed with honey. Taking a bite, the fragrance filled her mouth, so delicious that Luo Yu almost bit off her tongue.

  "It's so great to team up with you guys!" Luo Yu had a mouthful of oil.

  "Hehe, then eat more. If you fall in love with me because of this, I'll reluctantly accept it." Zhao Yucheng teased. He was nearly 18 years old, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, exactly the type that female cultivators welcomed nowadays.

  Luo Yu's trick was to pretend to be a ghost and scare the bandits away, but they didn't believe him.

  "Zhao Yucheng, you're asking for death! How dare you, right in front of me, my sister..." Zi Ye dropped the barbecue in his hand and punched Zhao Yucheng's face.

  "Oh no, don't hit me in the face!"

  "You're the one with this face that attracts bees and butterflies."

  Two people fought as one, but they only used their physical strength to punch each other. However, even if the punches landed on flesh, it would still hurt.

  "Zi Ye, you're too cruel! No matter what, I'm still better than that big and rough Sun Da Niu!"

  "You and he are comparable, this little white face is a bit stronger! Why don't you say how many intimate sisters you have!"

  "That's all they actively stuck on! Ah, my nose——, Huang Ziyu, I'm fighting with you——"

  A loud crash suddenly rang out, and the two of them fought even more fiercely.

  "Haha, Ziyu beat his butt!"

  "Right, hit him in the face! I've been wanting to slap that smug little face for a long time!"

  The crowd did not come forward to pull the frame, but instead added fuel to the fire and cheered. Luo Yu saw this and felt at ease gnawing on the rabbit leg, which was really delicious, and it would be even better with a mouthful of wine.

  "Damn it! What's going on with this stupid computer?"

  "Thanks!" Luo Yu took it over, tilted her head and drank a mouthful, the fiery liquor went down her throat.

  "Cough, cough..." Luo Yu was choked.

  "Haha, Jade sister is finally acting like a lady! If you fight like a man and drink like a man, where would we put our purely masculine face?" Everyone burst out laughing.
