803 A Huge Sacrifice! (2/2)

”Daddy, hear me out. I really can't, I…” Little Wu cried. As he did so, he grabbed onto Wang Baole's leg and wouldn't let go no matter what. His voice was wretched, and his expression showed extreme fear.

Seeing that, Wang Baole became softhearted for a moment, sighed, and looked towards Ling Shan.

”This is my dearest son, so I only have one request. Do your best!”

Wang Baole sighed with emotion in his heart and secretly thought that he was still too softhearted and couldn't stand seeing others cry. So after saying that, he waved his hands, tilted his head, and said, ”I'm handing him over to you!”

Hearing Wang Baole's agreement, Ling Shan and the several female cultivators beside her immediately became excited. They discussed for a while and sized up Little Wu again, even sending voice transmissions to their clan elders. After repeated confirmation, they were extremely satisfied with Little Wu, so Ling Shan smiled slightly.

”Don't worry, Fellow Daoist, this isn't the first time our vine civilization has exchanged resources with humans. Rest assured that your son won't be put in any danger. My clan sisters in charge of this will be bringing him over.” While speaking, Ling Shan raised her right hand, weaved hand seals, and pointed. Immediately, a giant vortex suddenly appeared in the empty space beside her.

As the vortex buzzed while spinning, as though a path was created out of nowhere, dozens of silhouettes with lithe and graceful figures walked out from it. These ladies all had skin as white as snow and looked extremely beautiful. Some even had heavenly fragrances fit for a national beauty. What made Wang Baole's pupils grow wide the most was that these ladies were all shy. They didn't seem to be faking it, but their disposition and other areas were all extremely pure.

That greatly confused Wang Baole. He looked at those ladies, then looked at Ling Shan and company. His brain couldn't react to that so quickly. As for Little Wu, he also stared with wide eyes and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva. Immediately, he stopped crying and put on a proper expression as he got up rapidly. After arranging his clothes, he bowed towards Wang Baole with cupped fists.

”Since Daddy has ordered me to do something, I must complete my mission no matter what!” After speaking, he turned around quickly, as though he was scared that Wang Baole would go back on his decision, and walked towards that group of ladies on his own accord. His jolly steps made Wang Baole feel even more uncomfortable in his heart.

But things were already as they were, and Wang Baole hadn't thought of stopping them. Under the accompaniment of Ling Shan, he was assigned a penthouse to rest. Before leaving, Ling Shan told Wang Baole that because the exchange amount was rather huge this time, he would have to wait for at least half a month.

Towards that, Wang Baole expressed his understanding. So, in the next half a month, although he didn't see Little Wu again, Wang Baole toured the vine civilization under the accompaniment of its cultivators. Wang Baole was especially interested in the vine civilization's artifact refinement. It just so happened that Ling Shan had a certain level of expertise in artifact refinement. Therefore, she shared her thoughts on artifact refinement with Wang Baole, and he did likewise during their casual conversations, and they both benefited from it.

Just like that, half a month slowly passed. When Wang Baole finished touring almost the entire vine civilization and increased his artifact refinement expertise through application, Little Wu… returned.

While one couldn't exactly say that he looked completely different, he wasn't too far from it. Returning while being supported by two female cultivators, Little Wu had black eyebags and looked like his vitality was greatly sapped. The moment he saw Wang Baole, Little Wu threw a jade slip towards him.

”Daddy, I've tried my best, let me rest for a while…”

Seeing Little Wu like that, Wang Baole was visibly moved and felt warmth in his heart. That was especially so after he saw the number of plant stones on the jade slip actually exceeded his requirements and reached 160 thousand. Seeing that, Wang Baole was even more touched.

Even the two female cultivators who brought Little Wu back felt amazed.

”Fellow Daoist over here actually completed the exchange amount five days ago, but he insisted on persevering just to make his daddy happy. Such willpower is extremely hard to find.”

Hearing their words, Wang Baole's expression gradually became weird. But he didn't think too much of it. After settling Little Wu down, he immediately contacted Ling Shan and started exchanging. Very quickly, Wang Baole used up all 160 thousand plant stones and purchased large amounts of precious materials.

After finishing that, although Little Wu was reluctant to leave, Wang Baole said goodbye to the vine civilization cultivators and left the star system. He stepped into the cosmos once again and continued speeding towards places even further away.
