125: Play a life-or-death mini-game

The Old Turtle, who a second ago was fighting Elder Yun over the seven-colored sacred lotus, actually gave the sacred lotus away to Huang Xiaoyao, who was dressed as a thief, upon seeing her.

If Xiao Fan saw this scene, he would probably vomit blood in rage.

Huang Xiaoyao received the toll and let out a giggling laugh.

The two masked burly men beside her weren't nearly as natural; the two fellows were trembling slightly, seemingly somewhat afraid of the Old Turtle before them.

The fellow whom the Old Turtle called Little Phoenix Bird returned to the Old Turtle's presence sheepishly. Looking at the Old Turtle who ignored him, his expression was a bit awkward, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction.

Although his cultivation base was in the Saint King Realm, higher than the Old Turtle's, in terms of seniority, even his own father was just a little brat in front of this Senior.

“Senior, my father sent me to invite you back.”

The man's expression was solemn and his tone firm as he said, “Father said that if I cannot bring you back, I don't need to return in the future.”

Facing the man's request, the Old Turtle glanced at him and said disdainfully, “What does it matter to me if you, Little Phoenix Bird, can't go back? Tell your father that your Grandpa Turtle likes it here and isn't going anywhere!”

“Senior, you...”

Seeing that the Old Turtle didn't give him any Face at all, the man was very helpless. He could only turn his gaze toward Huang Xiaoyao, hoping she would speak up for her brother.

However, Huang Xiaoyao was playing with the seven-colored sacred lotus in her hand, completely ignoring her brother's hint.

“Grandpa Turtle's place is good in every way, except that besides Grandpa Turtle, I can't find anyone else to rob.”

Huang Xiaoyao complained.

She had been thinking about robbing that human who was fighting Grandpa Turtle just now, but her brother, that useless fellow, couldn't even stop a single person.

No wonder Grandpa Turtle calls him a little bird.

Fortunately, the man didn't hear Huang Xiaoyao's inner thoughts, otherwise he would have been furious regardless of the situation.

“Hahahaha, Xiao Yao, who says there's no one else here?”

Seeing that Huang Xiaoyao was so keen on robbery, the Old Turtle burst into laughter. He then reached out a hand and made a sudden grasping motion toward a distant direction. Instantly, the space before him trembled, and two strange figures appeared there.

“Uh... it seems we've been discovered.”

Mo Tianxiao looked at the Old Turtle before him, his tone a bit awkward, though he wasn't too nervous.

They were just two little weaklings; surely these big shots wouldn't go as far as to kill them to keep them quiet, right?

However, Yun Sangyi on the side wasn't nearly as calm. Her body was stiff and unable to move, and the spiritual energy in her body seemed to have stopped circulating at this moment.

Two Saint Realm Great Demonic Beasts stood before them, and one was even in the Saint King Realm. This pressure was on a completely different level compared to that Quasi-Saint Realm Great Python in the Chaotic Star Sea.

“Hehehe, two little bugs actually managed to survive. You have some tricks. Xiao Yao, I'll give these two to you to play with.”

Although Mo Tianxiao and Yun Sangyi had hidden their auras well, they were naturally not enough to escape the notice of a Saint Realm Expert. Moreover, the commotion from activating the quasi-saint artifact earlier probably hadn't escaped the perception of the two Saint Realm big shots.

They just saw that the two were little weaklings and didn't bother with them.

“Thank you, Grandpa Turtle!”

Huang Xiaoyao turned her head, her eyes fixed on these two humans who were also strangely dressed, and her eyes suddenly sparkled.

“Are you two here to rob as well?”

Huang Xiaoyao hadn't expected to meet fellow practitioners, and two of them at that.

“You actually dare to come to a place like this to rob? Could you be here to rob Grandpa Turtle? Do you want this too?”

Huang Xiaoyao talked to herself, even pointing at the seven-colored sacred lotus in her hand.

Hearing this, Yun Sangyi didn't speak. She knew that things were likely looking grim and she would probably die here.

She had escaped the attack of the Quasi-Saint Great Demonic Beast in the Chaotic Star Sea and withstood the aftershocks of the Saint Realm Experts' battle, only to end up falling into the hands of Yao Beasts in the end.

If she was to die, then so be it. Having the mission target die with her, she wouldn't consider it a loss.

Beside her, Mo Tianxiao didn't know that Yun Sangyi's life was already flashing before her eyes. He just looked with interest at Huang Xiaoyao, who only revealed a pair of lively big eyes, and felt a bit sentimental for a moment.

More than ten years have passed, and this little girl is still a little girl.

The growth cycle of Yao Beasts is truly long.

“If I said I wanted to rob this item, what would you do?”

Mo Tianxiao spoke, his tone calm.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaoyao was stunned, and the surrounding Yao Beasts were also somewhat surprised.

The Old Turtle glanced at Mo Tianxiao, “You kid have quite some guts. Aren't you afraid of death?”

“Senior must be joking. Naturally, I am afraid of death, but being afraid of death doesn't necessarily mean one must show a fearful side,”

Mo Tianxiao said with a smile, appearing quite open-minded.

Of course, this was just an illusion. If this Old Turtle or the man watching him showed even a hint of killing intent, he would immediately throw out a saint-level talisman and then call for Revered Master to save his life.

“Interesting.”

The Old Turtle said casually, then looked at Huang Xiaoyao, “Xiao Yao, he wants to rob the sacred lotus in your hand. What are you going to do? Do you want Grandpa to help you slaughter these two little bugs?”

He naturally didn't care about the lives of little bugs, but he cared about Huang Xiaoyao's decision.

To this, Huang Xiaoyao suddenly became extremely interested. Her gaze fixed on Mo Tianxiao, and she said with some excitement, “It's not easy to meet a fellow traveler. Grandpa Turtle, you aren't allowed to step in.”

“Hey! Since you're also a fellow practitioner, let me ask you: if you encounter someone much stronger than yourself, how can you successfully rob them?”

Huang Xiaoyao handed the lotus back to the Old Turtle and looked at Mo Tianxiao and the other, “If you two can successfully rob it from Grandpa Turtle's hands, I'll let you leave safe and sound. How about it?”

The Old Turtle and the other Yao Beasts became somewhat interested.

“You two human bugs, come on. My little granddaughter is giving you a chance. Come rob me. No matter what method you use, as long as you can get the seven-colored sacred lotus from this old man's hand, I will not only let you go safely but also give this rare item to you.”

With the Old Turtle speaking, the other Yao Beasts didn't dare to interrupt, only watching Mo Tianxiao and the other with interest.

They hoped to see despair in the eyes of the two.

However, after hearing this, Yun Sangyi was first stunned, then immediately turned her head to look at Mo Tianxiao beside her, finding that he had also turned his head to meet her gaze.

She saw a hint of a smile in his eyes and was suddenly overjoyed.

No way!? We can even survive like this??

Others might not know, but she naturally knew Mo Tianxiao's methods.

Mo Tianxiao said calmly, “Since the Seniors and this little sister are giving us a chance, I can only do my best.”

Seeing Mo Tianxiao say this, the Yao Beasts were even more bewildered. “You actually intend to snatch something from Senior Turtle?”

Even that Saint Realm Expert from before couldn't snatch this sacred lotus from Senior Turtle's hands, yet a tiny Void Refining Cultivator and a Primordial Spirit Cultivator actually dared to speak such grand words.

“Good! If you can really do it, I'll even take you as my Revered Master!” Huang Xiaoyao put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and said with certainty.

The Old Turtle spoke up then as well, “Come on, little bug. Let me see how you're going to snatch it.”

The Old Turtle looked at Mo Tianxiao with eyes full of disdain. He had originally thought this kid had some skill, but it turned out he was just an idiot.

Mo Tianxiao didn't care about their gazes. He just lowered his head and quietly played with the seven-colored sacred lotus in his hand, saying, “This should count as my win, right?”

“???”
