Death... and me



A few moments later, they finally ended their blabbering. "Ahem... sorry for that," said Rean. "Anyway, we have no interest in Minokawa Eggs or Bloodlines. We are going there to get something else."

Werin obviously asked. "What is it that you are looking for? I told you there is nothing there other than what I mentioned. Even if there is, why would I help you to get it in the first place? It is inside our Minokawas' Territory, so it is ours."

"Since you said there is nothing there, why would you be against it? At most, it will be a wasted trip, and you two will get free right after. Isn't that the best?" Roan obviously didn't tell that they were after another Fragment of the Universe Foundation.

"And who can guarantee that you don't want to capture my race members?" Werin asked back, understanding that they wouldn't tell him what they were looking for. "Just because you have this Kentucky here doesn't mean you don't want to get even more members of our race."

Rean shrugged his shoulders. "Let's be honest, do you think we would have any chance of capturing your race members with our cultivation? I'm not an idiot. I'm absolutely sure the high-level Minokawas there keep their Divine Senses spread and their race's eggs protected every second of the day, especially that Divinity Realm one."

"This..." Indeed, if even Divinity Realm experts didn't dare to go to the Minokawas' Territory to cause trouble, how could Rean's group do it? That was just too far-fetched.

Pulanli also understood that. She had experienced the Minokawas' experts' presence all the time while she lived nearby with Werin. Yes, she did live in the Floating Islands of Time, but it wasn't like she could live where the Minokawas Nests were located. With her cultivation, she could sense their watch at every second while she didn't use a formation to block Divine Senses in her residence. "Alright, you talked about a deal. What deal is it?"

Werin looked at Pulanli. "Why are you making a decision in my instead?"

Pulanli just patted Werin. "He isn't wrong. I, more than anyone else, know how tight the defense of the Minokawas are. If anything, chances are they will be caught, and then we will have a higher chance of escaping this place, don't you think?"

Werin pondered a bit and could only nod in the and. At the moment, they truly had no way out of this situation. They needed something to happen in order to find a gap to flee. "Fine. What is the deal? It is better to be good. Also, don't expect me to keep silent once I get released."

Rean then threw a Spatial Ring to Werin and Pulanli. 'Sister Orb, allow them to release their Divine Senses for a meter or so.'

Werin and Pulanli obviously noticed the change in the environment and could now use their Divine Senses. Sister Orb just had to allow them to release a tiny bit of Divine Energy to make that possible. Naturally, Werin and Pulanli looked into the Spatial Ring before both of them took a sphere out of it. "What is this?"

"Use your Divine Senses and check inside," said Rean.

"This..." Those were obviously the Divine Origin Energy Cores. Both Wering and Pulanli felt the completely pure and abundant Divine Origin Energy, ready to be used for cultivation. Not only that, there were another eight of those inside the Spatial Ring. "This is unbelievable!"

Ten obviously didn't mean much when you think about the hundreds of thousands the twins got. However, such a thing was more valuable than even Rank Eight Divine Stones, which are practically myths. "Where did you get these?"

Rean looked at them as if he was looking at two idiots. "As if you don't know already."

"The Ruins of the Stars!" Obviously, they immediately recognized these cores. "They are the same as the ones we could find inside those metal creatures in the Ruins. We tried to extract them so many times, but they always exploded."

Rean nodded. "You saw how our group found a place to control that place, right? Obviously, we took full advantage of it. They were extremely rare in there, though. Everything else always exploded. Anyway, help us in the Floating Islands of Time, and these ten cores are yours to use. I don't think it is a bad deal. After all, you said it yourselves. There is supposed to have nothing there."

Werin and Pulanli looked at each other. They obviously thought that they were most likely missing something about the Islands, although they couldn't figure out what. They checked every corner during their time together, which made them even more unsettled. Still, those Divine Origin Energy Cores truly had an amazing allure. "20! Make it 20, and we have a deal!"

"What?!" Rean pretended to be shocked. "Do you have any idea how much these guys are worth? You couldn't possibly believe we would find a lot of them in ruins, could you? I'm already paying way too much!"

Obviously, Pulanli and Werin understood that. "You might not have that many, but you definitely have more than just ten. Did you get what? A hundred of them? Perhaps two hundred? Stop being stingy. You wash our hands, and we wash yours."

Rean looked at Roan, who also didn't have a good expression. "You are the one responsible for our finances, remember? You decide if it is worth spending twenty of our cores in this endeavor that might as well turn into nothing. We don't have many of them, and we obviously need every single one. If I could decide, I wouldn't give a single more. You better think about it with care."

Rean and Roan's acting skills had truly reached an Oscar Deserving level. Well, Roan was already like that from the start, but Rean truly evolved a lot. "15 Cores! That is my limit! You said it, you wash our hands, and we wash yours. Let's reach a middle-term here. If you don't accept, then forget it."

Pulanli felt very satisfied with herself. "It is a deal then."
