Without realizing it, she had become a little rich girl.
In her delight, Bai Sha did not forget about Yin Sha. She immediately entered the communication interface and opened the friends section.
‘Hmm? Did Yu Ye message me?’
Bai Sha noticed that Yu Ye’s name was blinking, indicating a message was waiting.
She didn’t rush to open his message first. Instead, she clicked on Yin Sha’s name, selected the option to transfer Contribution Points, and sent over 500.
After the transfer, she spoke to the side: “Sister Yin Sha, I’ve sent over the payment for teaching me the Water Dragon Burst.”
Yin Sha was right there beside her.
Hong Xing and Hong Gang were there too, of course. All three Demon Cultivators looked utterly listless.
“Mhm, I got it,” Yin Sha responded listlessly.
“3000 points… my 3000 Contribution Points…”
“That damn Mo Hen! Despicable Mo Hen!”
Hong Xing and Hong Gang were both gnashing their teeth.
Watching this scene, Bai Sha’s expression became rather strange.
Although she had technically also lost 3000 Contribution Points, receiving 15,000 points made the loss feel well within an acceptable range.
Now, she needed to figure out how to spend these 15,000 points.
But first, let’s see what Yu Ye’s message said.
Bai Sha tapped on Yu Ye’s name.
“Miss Bai Sha, thank you for the information you provided. I managed to rescue my daughter with my friends. However, there was an unexpected incident. The Ancient Forbidden Artifact you wanted was not obtained.”
Seeing this message, Bai Sha frowned slightly.
She sent a message asking: “What kind of incident?”
Yu Ye was also at the Seven-Colored Shell at that moment. Seeing this, he immediately replied: “Miss Bai Sha, you’re back? I’m sorry. The Ancient Forbidden Artifact you wanted was seized by a friend of mine. I never thought he would forget righteousness for profit. Sigh…”
“Tell me the details,” Bai Sha was very calm.
For her, gains and losses in a single life didn’t matter much; there was always the next life to turn things around.
Yu Ye promptly explained the situation.
The beginning was normal enough. Yu Ye had invited several friends at the Foundation Establishment stage to attack the Coral Abyss. Those cultivators from the Wind-Thunder Observatory were no match for them.
Even when Ding Lei brought out the Ancient Forbidden Artifact, it was useless. Because they already knew the triggering method, Yu Ye and the other Demon Cultivators naturally didn’t fall for it easily. Ding Lei died on the spot without ever unleashing the artifact’s effect.
After dealing with Ding Lei, all the captured Demon Cultivators were freed, and Yu Manman naturally returned to her father’s embrace.
At that moment, a Demon Cultivator named Hai Sha took a liking to the Ancient Forbidden Artifact and expressed his intentions.
Yu Ye, naturally, wouldn’t agree. After all, he had already paid Contribution Points as compensation when inviting everyone to help. Furthermore, the ancient artifact was something he’d already promised to give to Bai Sha.
But Yu Ye’s refusal didn’t make Hai Sha back down.
In his earlier desperation to save his daughter, Yu Ye hadn’t immediately retrieved the artifact after Ding Lei died. So, the Ancient Forbidden Artifact was already in Hai Sha’s possession.
Hai Sha didn’t care whether Yu Ye was willing. Even after being refused, he simply turned and left with the artifact.
“I couldn’t catch up to him.” Yu Ye’s message carried a hint of regret. “Hai Sha specializes in speed. No one could catch him. We could only watch him leave.”
Bai Sha sighed inwardly.
So this was the Cultivation World?
In a short time, she had witnessed two instances where friendship was abandoned for profit.
Mo Hen betrayed his companions.
Hai Sha seized the Ancient Forbidden Artifact.
Similar scenes must be playing out all throughout the Cultivation World. After all, profit could move the heart of anyone.
“I am truly sorry, Miss Bai Sha. I promised you something and failed to deliver,” Yu Ye seemed to feel extremely guilty. “I only have 2000 Contribution Points left now. I can only give these to you for now. They aren’t worth a single Ancient Forbidden Artifact, but once I earn more points, I will transfer them to you.”
Along with that message, Bai Sha received the 2000 Contribution Points transferred from Yu Ye.
Her remaining contributions thus reached 17,000 points.
“You need not blame yourself. I know this wasn’t the outcome you desired. Failing to acquire the artifact only means my fate with it hasn’t arrived yet,” Bai Sha replied.
Just then, Bai Sha received another friend request. The requester was Yu Manman.
After accepting, Yu Manman also sent a message expressing her thanks to Bai Sha.
Bai Sha chatted casually with the father-daughter pair. She discovered that conversations with friends could be turned into small windows and placed to the side without affecting her continued use of the Dream Ruins. So, while chatting, she entered the Chat Section.
She wanted to ask how to spend too many Contribution Points.
Of course, she knew she could buy spells or Magical Tools. But was that truly the best choice?
Were there other options?
In the Chat Section, Bai Sha posted a thread: 《What to Do with Too Many Contribution Points?》
She wouldn’t truthfully state her own situation. The content described the matter of Mo Hen betraying his companions to seize the Fire Jade Stone. In closing, she asked: “Mo Hen seized the Fire Jade Stone, which can be sold for at least around 15,000 Contribution Points. As a Qi Condensation stage Demon Cultivator, how do you all think he would use this many Contribution Points after getting them?”
As soon as Bai Sha’s post went up, replies came flooding in.
“Fire Jade Stone? That thing actually appeared? This guy named Mo Hen really struck it rich.”
“Betraying his companions to hog the Fire Jade Stone for himself? That’s truly shameless behavior.”
“Mo Hen? I think I’ve heard of him. So he’s actually this kind of cultivator?”
“If it were me, I’d definitely buy a Foundation Establishment technique and some related spells first, just to prepare.”
“After pulling a stunt like that, Mo Hen’s former companions definitely won’t let him go. If he wants to temporarily boost his strength for self-protection, buying a Magical Tool would be better.”
“I think he could commission a Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator to escort him to the Sunlight Sea.”
Lines of information rapidly flashed before her eyes.
After reading a few, she also spotted Yin Sha appear.
“That bastard Mo Hen better not let me run into him in the future. If he does, I’ll beat him up every time I see him!”
Besides Yin Sha, Hong Xing and Hong Gang also appeared one after another, denouncing Mo Hen’s crimes with furious teeth-gnashing.
Bai Sha looked at the thread, then glanced at Yin Sha right beside her.
At that moment, Yin Sha also raised a pectoral fin and patted Bai Sha. “Bai Sha, you did the right thing. Exposing Mo Hen’s deeds publicly in a post is perfect. Let all Demon Cultivators recognize his ugly face. Let’s see how he survives in the Demon Alliance from now on.”
Clearly, Yin Sha had interpreted the purpose of Bai Sha’s post in a completely different light.
Bai Sha was happy to let her think that. She nodded and continued reading the replies. Suddenly, one particular response made her eyes light up.
