Baby’s words were reasonable, but it was completely not the case in the ears of the people present. Many people could not help but think in their hearts,”you didn’t say how much we should pay you, but you said you want a reward equal to our status. In other words, they will pay each other however much they think they are worth, and every person or beast here more or less has some reputation in the immortal realm, so they naturally wouldn’t do something that would lower their own status.” It wouldn’t be good if word got out. How would they face others in the future? Therefore, even if it was for the sake of their own face, the price they offered couldn’t be too low! Otherwise, he would not have the face to continue living in the divine realm in the future.
“That … We don’t have any money now. If we can’t leave this Mystic realm within a month, how are we going to settle this?” The Yao family elder asked after some thought.
“That will count as interest. After all, we are only responsible for bringing you out of this secret chamber. As for whether you can leave this secret realm or not, it is not within our scope of consideration.” Baby said matter-of-factly.
“Little fox! This won’t do! You brought us out of here, so you can’t just leave us alone! With our current physical condition, if you don’t care about us, it won’t be long before we’ll be caught again. ” The whale quickly said in fear.
“Yup! You can’t just abandon us. ” The other humans and beasts also chimed in.
“What, you’re still counting on me to finish the whole pack? Besides, I’m not human. ” Baby said in an unpleasant tone.
“Little fox! You’re the kindest and most adorable little fox, you won’t leave me in the lurch, right?” The whale coaxed.
“You’re wrong! Although I’m cute, I’m not kind. I’ll definitely not save you if I see you in danger. Besides, don’t you know that I saved you for money? So, you don’t have to flatter me. I don’t buy it. ” Baby said arrogantly as he turned his head.
“However, if you want me to take you out of the mystic realm, you’ll have to pay extra. And I can tell you clearly that our escort fee is very expensive!” Then, the baby changed the topic and brought up money again.
When everyone and the beasts heard baby’s words, they all wiped their sweat. F * ck! I’ve never seen a Fox that likes money so much. What’s wrong with it having eyes for money? Of course, they would never have dreamed that the baby wanted to accumulate wealth so desperately, all for the sake of its lovely master.
Seeing that the people and beasts present were silent again, baby smiled and said,””Hehe! If you want to seek our protection, then write me an IOU and make a bloodline oath! If you can’t pay it all off, don’t you have your descendants to help you? So, don’t feel any pressure and think about it!”
Baby’s words made everyone look at each other and speechless. They really didn’t know what to say. This little fox was not just greedy for money! Moreover, they couldn’t find any fault in its words, so it made them feel even more depressed.
“Little fox! If we accept your escort, can you guarantee that you can bring us out of here safely?” The whale asked again after a while.
“This is a must! The escort fee will be paid within a month of your departure. If there is any delay, the interest will also be compounded. However, I will not be responsible for your clothing, food, accommodation, and transportation here. If it is up to me to arrange it, the cost will also be calculated separately. ” The treasure’s Silver eyes quickly flashed with a trace of calculation as it explained.
This time, baby’s words were very clear, but everyone or the beasts were very depressed when they heard it. However, it was a good thing that their strength was there. They didn’t need to eat anything and could just find a place to spend the night. Therefore, they didn’t need to trouble the little fox in terms of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, they thought.
“Little fox! We can take care of our own basic needs. ” Everyone looked at each other and said in unison.
“Mm! Alright then! You only need to pay me one million top-grade crystals or medicinal herbs, ores, and materials of the same value, and I promise to bring you out of the secret realm. ” Baby said with a faint smile.
“What? A million? You’re a robber!” When the crowd and beasts heard this number, they were all dumbfounded.
“Do you think it’s easy to bring you old, weak, sick, and disabled out of the secret realm? In my opinion, this amount of money is too little!” Baby raised his cute little head and said with an aggrieved face.
“You’re trapped in the secret realm, so you should know better than anyone else how dangerous and terrifying this secret realm is. Otherwise, how could you have been captured with your strength? And we’re taking a risk by bringing you guys out, so how can we be at peace if we don’t ask for more money? Why would we be willing to take you guys with us?” Without giving them a chance to speak, baby’s Silver eyes were filled with tears as he argued.
“Uh!” Baby’s words made everyone speechless once again. They were indeed a burden now. However, as long as they thought of how much money this little fox had asked them for, their hearts ached.
Baby saw through their thoughts and said with great sincerity,””Money is just a worldly possession. Do you think a mere one million top-grade crystal stones is worth less than your life? If you really value money more than your lives, then I have nothing to say. After all, this is your choice. We’ll meet again! I hope that I’ll still be able to see your figures in the divine realm in the future. I look forward to the day we meet again. ”
After saying that, baby took small steps and planned to leave.
“Wait!” Seeing that the treasure was about to leave, the whale quickly said.
“Is there anything else?” Baby turned his head and asked.
“I’m willing to pay one million top-grade crystals, but I don’t have that much, so I can only use materials as payment. ” The whale thought ruthlessly,’this little fox is right. Money is just a worldly possession. What’s the use of money if I don’t even have my life?’ Therefore, he was the first to think things through. He could not be with those anthropology checks that liked to take advantage of small gains, or he would suffer a big loss!
“No problem. I don’t care what you offer as a mortgage. As long as it’s of the same value, I’ll take it.” Baby said with a smile, obviously very satisfied with this whale’s way of doing things. Moreover, this fish was the first one to take the bait when it was playing hard to get, so it deserved its special treatment.
“You’re the first customer to ask us to escort you, so I should give you some benefits. I’ll pay for all your food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation, so I won’t ask you for extra money. ” Baby thought for a while and continued.
“Thank you,” he said. The whale was speechless. It didn’t think that it needed to be provided with food, clothing, and accommodation. However, when it saw the food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation, it realized how wise its decision was.
Baby saw the whale’s disapproving look and didn’t explain much. Instead, he turned his eyes to the others.
