Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, Li Qingxin was furious, her little face turning red as she glared at Lin Bai, gritting her teeth.
Was she really battling the Corpse Demon here, only to let Lin Bai reap all the benefits?
Just then, the Corpse Demon, enraged, hit Li Qingxin on the shoulder, sending her flying, and she landed on the ground, spitting blood.
"Ouch..." Li Qingxin cried out in pain upon landing.
Lin Bai paused and looked back at Li Qingxin. Seeing her in such a miserable state, and still just a weak girl, he felt a bit guilty.
If it hadn’t been for Li Qingxin holding back the Corpse Demon, Lin Bai wouldn’t have gotten the Elixir Pills so easily.
If he left now, it would likely be difficult for Li Qingxin to escape from the Corpse Demon’s grasp.
"Miss Li Qingxin, do you need help?" Lin Bai paused and turned back to ask.
Hearing Lin Bai’s words, Li Qingxin angrily roared, "Of course I need help, what kind of nonsense are you saying? Can’t you see Auntie’s been beaten to the point of spitting blood, are you waiting to collect Auntie’s corpse later?"
Lin Bai was taken aback, intending to help Li Qingxin out of goodwill, but he hadn’t expected Li Qingxin’s words to be so forceful.
Lin Bai chuckled lightly and said, "Miss Li Qingxin, I can offer help, but I’ve heard Miss Li Qingxin is from Gourd Mountain."
"Since Miss Li Qingxin is a warrior from Gourd Mountain, surely she carries some Holy Blood Pills?"
Lin Bai said to Li Qingxin with a smiling face, but behind that smile was a hidden blade.
Li Qingxin was stunned and glared at Lin Bai, asking, "What nonsense are you talking?"
Lin Bai laughed, "It’s simple, I can help, but I want a hundred Holy Blood Pills as a reward, and I need to see the pills first, before I act!"
"You!" Li Qingxin glared angrily at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai laughed, "If Miss Li Qingxin feels she doesn’t need help, then I’ll leave directly!"
As he spoke, Lin Bai was about to turn and leave.
Seeing Lin Bai walking away and the Corpse Demon angrily charging at her, Li Qingxin defended herself while yelling, "Bastard, come back!"
Lin Bai halted again and asked with a smile, "Miss Li Qingxin, what do you want to say?"
Li Qingxin gritted her teeth and threw a Jade Bottle from her Storage Bag to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai caught the Jade Bottle, opened it, and saw fifty blood-red pills inside. Lin Bai asked, "Only fifty pills?"
Li Qingxin huffed and said, "If you help me escape afterward, I’ll give you the remaining fifty pills. Besides, if I gave you a hundred pills directly, you might just run away, how can I trust you, you wicked little thief!"
"Stealing Auntie’s treasures, and now extorting Auntie!"
"Little thief!"
Li Qingxin said viciously to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai nodded and laughed, "I see, then I’ll be taking my leave!"
With that said, Lin Bai turned and left.
Li Qingxin angrily shouted, "Come back!"
Lin Bai stopped and said, "Without seeing a hundred Holy Blood Pills, I won’t act!"
Li Qingxin glared at Lin Bai, wishing she could flay him alive.
After a while, Li Qingxin threw another Jade Bottle from her Storage Bag into Lin Bai’s hands. Upon opening it, there were indeed another fifty pills.
"A hundred Holy Blood Pills, I’ve already given you, enough for you to break through from the First Level of the Wending Realm to the second!"
"Now, can you act?"
Li Qingxin roared.
After carefully storing the two Jade Bottles, Lin Bai looked at the Corpse Demon, the smile on his face gradually fading.
"Miss Li Qingxin, later I will attack the Corpse Demon’s left side, and you attack the right side; we’ll drag the Corpse Demon from both sides, fighting and retreating until we leave this place."
Lin Bai laid out his plan.
Li Qingxin nodded, "Okay, make your move!"
With a flash in his hand, the Demonic Sword fell into Lin Bai’s palm, and he stepped forward, the sharp Sword Aura stabbing toward the Corpse Demon’s left side.
Stabbed by Lin Bai’s sword, the Corpse Demon was furious and charged at Lin Bai.
At this moment, Li Qingxin saw the Corpse Demon not attacking her and was overjoyed, immediately pulling back, ignoring Lin Bai.
Retreating a thousand meters, Li Qingxin temporarily escaped the Corpse Demon’s attack range.
"Miss Li Qingxin?" Lin Bai was shocked and called out to Li Qingxin.
Li Qingxin took many Healing Pills from her Storage Bag, swallowing them, and whispered, "Hmph, how can a little kitten fight Auntie?"
"Little thief, want me to help you?"
"Hand over all the pills you got from here, along with Auntie’s Holy Blood Pills, and Auntie will help you!"
Li Qingxin said proudly, looking at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai was stunned, looking at Li Qingxin.
Seeing Lin Bai’s amazed expression, Li Qingxin laughed triumphantly, "Hahaha, surprised, aren’t you? For thirty years the east river, thirty years the west. The strategy you used against me, now I’m using against you."
"This is what they call shooting yourself in the foot!"
"Quickly, hand over all the pills; I must tell you, this Corpse Demon is extremely dangerous."
Li Qingxin said with a smile to Lin Bai.
"Haha, so Miss Li Qingxin was planning this," Lin Bai calmly composed himself, smiling lightly, "Then Miss Li Qingxin might be disappointed; even without your help, I estimate it wouldn’t be very difficult for me to leave this place!"
At that moment, white radiance emerged from Lin Bai, enveloping him, sweeping through the Passageway like a meteor.
In an instant, Lin Bai’s figure had darted a thousand meters.
The Corpse Demon pursued Lin Bai, but seeing Li Qingxin on the way, its rage was directed at her.
"Little thief!"
Li Qingxin was dumbfounded, watching Lin Bai.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the palace, Lin Bai whispered, "Miss Li Qingxin, I took your pills with the genuine intention of rescuing you, but I didn’t expect you to treat me like this. Therefore, these hundred pills are considered compensation for my mental distress, as to how you escape the Corpse Demon, it depends on Miss Li Qingxin’s ability."
"Lin Mou, farewell."
Lin Bai bowed to Li Qingxin and, with a turn, vanished from the Passageway.
"Little thief! I’m so furious!" As Lin Bai turned to leave the Passageway, he could still hear Li Qingxin’s piercing roar in his ears.
With Lin Bai gone, the Corpse Demon naturally redirected its hostility towards Li Qingxin.
In the Corridor again, Li Qingxin and the Corpse Demon were locked in a fierce battle.
As for the outcome, Lin Bai couldn’t know.
Lin Bai left the Passageway, returning to the palace within the mountain halfway up, stepping out forthwith, leaving the palace.
But just as Lin Bai walked out of the palace, he saw Shen Qianlang carrying a long sword, approaching the palace entrance, facing Lin Bai directly.
