Food?
The moment she heard there was food, Yin Sha’s eyes instantly lit up. With a powerful stroke of her pectoral fins through the seawater, she rushed to Bai Sha’s side even faster.
“Where are the tasty treats? Where?”
Yin Sha’s large eyes darted about, visibly brimming with interest.
Seeing this, Bai Sha couldn’t help but find it amusing. Yin Sha was clearly a Territory Lord, known to demons as the White King, yet she still behaved like a greedy child.
But it was precisely because Yin Sha’s nature was so pure and innocent that Bai Sha, across multiple returns, had always chosen to interact with her.
“Let’s go inside first and talk.”
“Alright, Bai Sha, follow me.”
Yin Sha turned around, gently flicking her tail fin as she glided through the seawater.
Bai Sha followed close behind.
They passed through a field of dazzling submarine vegetation and arrived at an undersea cave.
Luminous Sea Pearls embedded in the cave walls emitted a bright, radiant glow. The light mingled with the seawater, making it shimmer exceptionally.
After venturing deeper into the cave, a shell the size of a house came into view.
Yin Sha made a brief introduction: “Bai Sha, you didn’t see my bed the last time you were here. This is a shell I found in the sea later. I don’t know which Demon Cultivator shed it, but I thought it looked good, so I brought it back. It feels quite nice resting in here.”
As she spoke, Yin Sha had already entered the shell.
Inside, she had laid a mat of vegetation, ensuring it wouldn’t be swept away by the naturally flowing seawater.
Bai Sha followed her into the shell. After settling down, she gently patted the mat with her tail fin.
She had seen Yin Sha’s little house in her first and second lives, so she wasn’t surprised at all.
“Bai Sha, Bai Sha.” Yin Sha turned around, her eyes sparkling. “Where are the tasty treats you mentioned?”
Bai Sha couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.
This was just like Yin Sha; she simply couldn’t forget about delicious food.
Bai Sha didn’t hold back any longer and promptly summoned the Blue Spirit Pearl.
When Yin Sha saw the Blue Spirit Pearl, she was momentarily stunned. She recognized it immediately as a Storage Artifact.
She was very surprised. “Bai Sha, you actually have a Storage Artifact?”
A basic Storage Artifact cost at least 2,000 Contribution Points. For a Qi Condensation stage Demon Cultivator, that was an extremely expensive price.
In Yin Sha’s impression, Bai Sha was still a Qi Condensation Middle Stage stage Demon Cultivator. To think she already owned a Storage Artifact made Yin Sha feel a bit envious.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t scrape together 2,000 Contribution Points, but contribution points needed to be spent on many things. The amount she could save was very small, so Yin Sha did not have a Storage Artifact.
“I’ve been somewhat lucky, so I managed to earn some contribution points.” Bai Sha didn’t elaborate further.
“Luck truly is very important for cultivation.” Yin Sha sighed with some emotion, then gritted her teeth and cursed, “That damned Mo Hen!”
“Mo Hen? Who is that?” Bai Sha asked, feigning ignorance.
“A damnable fellow. If it weren’t for him, I’d likely have a Storage Artifact to use by now too. He truly deserves to die!”
Yin Sha was very angry. She told Bai Sha the story of Mo Hen’s betrayal at the Water Jade Stone Vein.
In her first and second lives, Yin Sha had mentioned the matter of Mo Hen many times, gnashing her teeth in fury. But whenever Bai Sha had asked for details, Yin Sha wouldn’t say, feeling it was an internal matter for Demon Cultivators and unnecessary to tell Bai Sha, who hadn’t yet stepped onto the path of cultivation.
But now that Bai Sha was a Demon Cultivator herself, Yin Sha didn’t hide it and told her the full details.
In her previous life, Bai Sha had already known the details, but she acted as if she was hearing it for the first time, chiming in cooperatively, “That Demon Cultivator is simply too wicked, actually betraying a companion. He truly deserves to die.”
Yin Sha bumped her two pectoral fins together. “If that guy ever shows his face before me, I’ll definitely beat him to death.”
Bai Sha nodded repeatedly in agreement.
However, Mo Hen wouldn’t be appearing before Yin Sha in this life, at least, because she had already bid him farewell from this world.
Without saying much more, Bai Sha took the Deep Sea Crystal Fruit out from the Blue Spirit Pearl.
It was a fruit with a deep blue hue, looking crystalline and sparkling. Its surface felt very warm and smooth to the touch.
“Deep Sea Crystal Fruit?”
Yin Sha recognized the fruit immediately.
This was one of her absolute favorite fruits to eat. Unfortunately, it was very rare, and couldn’t even be bought in the Dream Ruins—mainly because Dream Ruins sold items for use by Demon Cultivators; they didn’t sell ordinary things at all.
“Correct, it’s the Deep Sea Crystal Fruit. Sister Yin Sha, please try some.”
With a flick of her pectoral fin, Bai Sha sent a Deep Sea Crystal Fruit flying toward Yin Sha.
Yin Sha immediately lifted her head and opened her mouth, swallowing the fist-sized Deep Sea Crystal Fruit in one gulp. She savored the delicious taste as the fruit burst open and its juice filled her mouth.
Delicious!
Truly too delicious.
As she swallowed the Deep Sea Crystal Fruit, Yin Sha glanced over. “Bai Sha, you didn’t come to me with a Deep Sea Crystal Fruit just to give me fruit, did you? Is there something else you need my help with?”
Bai Sha shook her head. “There’s nothing I need to do.”
“Really nothing?”
“Nothing.”
Bai Sha’s answer surprised Yin Sha slightly.
But then Bai Sha spoke again: “That being said, ever since I became a Demon Cultivator, I’ve been roaming alone, with no one to rely on. It’s truly quite lonely. And here in the White Shark Territory, there are so many of our kin. I wonder if I might be able to live here?”
Upon hearing this, Yin Sha immediately smiled. “So you want to live in the White Shark Territory? That’s no problem at all. Ordinary Great White Sharks who want to join my White Shark Territory must pass certain trials and become my subordinates, but you won’t need to.”
Bai Sha thanked Yin Sha, then asked with a smile, “And what status would I hold in the White Shark Territory?”
Yin Sha didn’t hesitate, laughing as she said, “Why don’t you become the Second King? Hehe.”
Second King…
Bai Sha couldn’t help but think of some dramas and films from her past life; it somehow felt a little strange.
But this status was still quite good, granting her the highest authority below Yin Sha within the White Shark Territory.
Thinking this, Bai Sha took another Deep Sea Crystal Fruit from the Blue Spirit Pearl and tossed it to Yin Sha.
As the Deep Sea Crystal Fruit traced an arc through the water, Yin Sha immediately flapped her pectoral fins, lunging upward with her head to catch it, steadily gulping down the fruit.
Seeing this scene, a strange expression flickered across Bai Sha’s face. Why did she get the feeling she was feeding a pet?
Yin Sha had no idea what Bai Sha was thinking. After swallowing the Deep Sea Crystal Fruit, she licked her teeth in satisfaction and then said to Bai Sha, “Bai Sha, let’s go. First, let’s find a place suitable for you to live. I remember there are quite a few caves not far from here; I’m not sure if you’d want one. If you don’t want a cave, there are some dense anemone fields outside; you can live inside those too.”
“Alright, I’ll go take a look with Sister Yin Sha.”
Flicking her tail fin, Bai Sha followed Yin Sha as they headed out.
