541 Chapter 541 Golden Leaf
541 Chapter 541 “Golden Leaf“
"You are looking for a golden leaf, right?" Shu Chen began his words with a bomb, startling Li Shi Ying.
"...How do you know?" Li Shi Ying frowned when she heard what Shu Chen said. How could this man know she was looking for golden leaf? Doesn’t this mean that he had been watching her for quite a long time now?
"Well, I accidentally came here when you said you can’t find the golden leaf. I don’t know who the guy beside you was back then, nor where he is now, but one thing I know for sure. I can find the golden leaf."
Shu Chen confidently revealed his card in the negotiation. He had to prove himself useful, so that Li Shi Ying would share the treasure list with him.
He grew up in a famous divine doctor’s family, with many of his other relatives becoming palace doctors or well-known alchemists. It was impossible if he couldn’t know where the golden leaf grew.
"What do you want?" Li Shi Ying was smart. She knew this young man wanted something from her in exchange for getting the golden leaf. What did he want? Is it the treasure list or...
"I want to cooperate with you. Let’s form a team...you share with me the treasure list, and I’ll help you get them all. Of course, I have to get a share too." Shu Chen finally told Li Shi Ying what he wanted.
Hearing this, Li Shi Ying went silent for a while. She was asking Jiu Wei if this man could be trusted. After all, the deal sounded fair with both sides getting their own benefits.
"Even if we can’t trust him, and if he backstabs us, with me here, mistress will be safe." Jiu Wei couldn’t trust this Shu Chen guy easily, since this young man looked smart like him, but he was sure whatever trick this young man had, he wouldn’t harm his mistress.
With him here, mistress would totally be safe!
"Alright, I accept your condition, now bring me to get the golden leaf. Only then will I share the treasure list with you." Li Shi Ying took what Jiu Wei said to her heart, and so she immediately agreed with Shu Chen’s offer.
"Good! Come here." Shu Chen’s face brightened when Li Shi Ying accepted his offer. With this, he too could see the treasure list without wasting time finding it!
5 minutes later...
"The golden leaf grows on top of that tree. This tree is special, since you can see it’s trunk shine whenever sunlight touches it. We can both climb this tree, but be careful. There is a ferocious spider guarding the golden leaf. If I’m not mistaken, the spider is a divine beast!"
Shu Chen guided Li Shi Ying to a tree she had passed before. The tree was tall and like what Shu Chen said, the trunk of the tree indeed shone in golden light when the sunlight shone on it.
"Divine beast spider?" Li Shi Ying was reminded of one of her divine beasts she got from Qi Tou. That certain small spider with superb web quality. She hasn’t used that spider yet, but who knows, the chance to use it would come one day.
"Yeah, this spider is extremely fast. The web it made is also strong. Once we’re caught, we will never come out alive. Oh, and the web is fire resistant." Shu Chen explained one thing more to Li Shi Ying before he slowly climbed the tree.
Li Shi Ying saw Shu Chen climbing the tree, and looked down to her clothes. She was wearing a skirt. How could it be possible for her to climb a tree?
"Fly." Li Shi Ying secretly used her ’flying’ talisman to make her body float. The second after she used it, she quickly caught up to Shu Chen, startling the guy to death.
!! What the?! That girl is floating on air?? B-but only cultivators in master stage and above could do it! Is it possible for a girl, several years younger than him, to already be in the master stage?!
He was 25 years old, and still at the late stage of senior stage. That alone was already considered super genius since usually, only when people became 30 years old, they also stepped up to the late stage of senior stage.
But this girl! She looks like 15-16 years old at most! How could a young girl like her already be in master stage?? Just who is she??
Li Shi Ying didn’t know what Shu Chen was thinking about, but if she knew, she would definitely laugh out loud while rolling on the ground.
Master stage your ass! It’s the flying talisman, ah!
5 minutes later...
"We’re here! Look, that’s the spider." Shu Chen and Li Shi Ying finally arrived at the top of the tree. Since the tree was so big, having two humans on the branch was no big deal.
The tree looked so big for Li Shi Ying, that she thought she could even make a treehouse there. If the tree was this big, the spider...how big would it be?
Li Shi Ying looked at the direction Shu Chen pointed, and saw that a spider the size of a squirrel, was sleeping while guarding a stack of leaves shining in gold light.
The golden leaf! She found it!!
