Chapter 676: What is a Sea of Wealth
Fair Young Man was talking nonsense again. Bai Xue had been in the Spirit Police for a considerable amount of time, and it was no secret that she was a serpent demon in the Spirit Police. Everyone in the circle knew, but no one had ever bothered her. Why was that? It was because people in the circle were clear about the situation.
Now that the situation had changed, Fair Young Man dared to speak out boldly. Yang Haoran found it amusing, but he didn't expose him.
"From what you're saying, you're planning to take action against Officer Bai?" Yang Haoran asked, pretending to be serious.
Fair Young Man nodded slightly, without denying it.
"As a demon hunter, it's my duty to eliminate demons. As a human, I absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of any demons. They're not of my kind, and their hearts are different. Demons must be eliminated."
Fair Young Man spoke with a sense of justice, but Yang Haoran looked troubled.
"You don't need to feel troubled, Yang Divine Envoy. As the Underworld Envoy of the Yin Division, getting too close to demons won't do you any good. If you get into trouble because of her, you'll likely face punishment from above." Fair Young Man advised.
Yang Haoran shook his head, disagreeing with Fair Young Man's view.
"No matter what, Officer Bai and I are friends. You want to take action against her, and you're doing it here, in front of me? That's definitely not okay."
Yang Haoran said this, and Fair Young Man didn't show any surprise, but instead smiled with deep meaning."Do you remember what I just said, Yang Divine Envoy? To succeed, you must know how to make sacrifices. In the face of absolute benefit, what friendship can be spoken of? As long as you agree not to interfere, I'm willing to pay you a sea of New Genesis Coins."
Fair Young Man's words almost made Yang Haoran burst out laughing. Not only did Fair Young Man's lecture make him feel amused, but the bargaining chip he offered made him feel like he was being deceived.
Now, in the chaotic New Genesis World, many places had already abolished the New Genesis World currency, and the value of New Genesis Coins was naturally not what it used to be.
Moreover, as the Burial Master of Lecheng's Yin Division, he controlled several large Death God Temples, and anyone who knew the market knew that their annual income was staggering. He didn't lack New Genesis Coins at all, and using them as a bargaining chip was like trying to deceive a child.
He pretended to be slow-witted in front of Fair Young Man, but Fair Young Man treated him like a fool.
What was even more laughable was that Fair Young Man was educating him that there was no friendship in the face of absolute benefit. While Yang Haoran didn't completely agree or disagree, he knew that people were different, and some would abandon even their own mothers for gain.
However, Fair Young Man's offer of New Genesis Coins as a bargaining chip was hardly an absolute benefit.
"No way, this is absolutely not okay. If I do this, how can I still stand in Lecheng in the future?" Yang Haoran shook his head, rejecting him decisively.
Seeing Yang Haoran's decisive rejection, Fair Young Man still maintained his confident demeanor, smiling as he continued to speak.
"Don't refuse, Yang Divine Envoy. Did you not hear what I just said? I'm talking about a sea of New Genesis Coins. Do you know what a sea of wealth means?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Haoran was tempted to slap Fair Young Man. He really couldn't understand what Fair Young Man was thinking.
Seeing Yang Haoran's dark face, Fair Young Man continued to smile.
"I really don't understand what's going on in Yang Divine Envoy's mind. Faced with the temptation of wealth, I didn't expect Yang Divine Envoy to hesitate. Did I underestimate the friendship between you and Officer Bai?"
The Fair Young Man smiled and shook his head, his face filled with incomprehension. Yang Haoran, on the other hand, took a deep breath, his face looking even more unpleasant than before.
"If you think you can corrupt my friendship with Officer Bai with money, then you're wrong. Don't you know I'm the Underworld Envoy?"
As Yang Haoran said this, he intentionally emphasized the two words "Underworld Envoy", feeling that with this reminder, anyone who wasn't a complete idiot should understand his meaning. However, the Fair Young Man's response left him speechless.
"I know Yang Divine Envoy is the Underworld Envoy, which is why I'm reminding Yang Divine Envoy that in the current situation of New Genesis World, it's absolutely better for you to get along with our Demon Hunter Association than with Lecheng's Spirit Police. Isn't this simple logic?"
The Fair Young Man's words did make some sense, but Yang Haoran was not concerned with this issue at the moment. What he needed was for the Fair Young Man to produce something that would move him.
"As long as Yang Divine Envoy gets along with our Demon Hunter Association, there will be countless benefits in the future. If we miss this opportunity, there won't be another chance." The Fair Young Man said with a smile.
Yang Haoran felt extremely frustrated, worrying that if he didn't break through this layer of window paper, they might talk until nightfall without reaching a conclusion.
"You're right, in the face of absolute benefits, so-called friendships are as fragile as tofu. However, what you're offering isn't what I need. I'm talking about New Genesis Coins. So..." Yang Haoran furrowed his brows, his expression serious, and spoke in a solemn tone.
Although he didn't finish his sentence, in his opinion, he had made himself clear enough that even a fool should understand his meaning, and the Fair Young Man should definitely understand as well.
Upon hearing this, the Fair Young Man was taken aback, and his face suddenly turned gloomy, looking very unpleasant.
"Yang Divine Envoy's evasive words are really too clumsy. Do you really want to make an enemy of our Demon Hunter Association for a demonic woman? Is it really worth it?"
The Fair Young Man's words made Yang Haoran want to vomit blood; he never thought the Fair Young Man would say something like this. This kind of transcendent thinking left him completely unable to keep up, and in his opinion, the guy in front of him was either a real idiot or intentionally playing him.
Yang Haoran took another deep breath, put away his previous serious expression, and first let out a bitter laugh before revealing a defeated look, finally nodding at the Fair Young Man.
"You're really amazing, I didn't think I, Yang, was hiding so deeply, but it seems I still couldn't deceive your wise eyes. You saw right through me, and I was just trying to evade."
The Fair Young Man heard the relaxation in Yang Haoran's tone, and his face, which had already turned gloomy, eased up a bit.
"It's not that I have any wise eyes, but Yang Divine Envoy's performance was really too poor. You might try to act like it, but your eyes have already betrayed you. I saw the excitement and ambition in your eyes, and I know you're very moved by the offer I made. You're just a bit too cunning and want to get more benefits from me, so you're hesitant to agree."
The Fair Young Man spoke very confidently, with a tone that seemed to say, "You might as well stop pretending, because I already know what you're thinking."
Yang Haoran didn't argue, nor did he bother to argue with the Fair Young Man anymore. He just wanted to achieve his goal as quickly as possible.
"You're right, I do have ambition, and my heart is a bit dark. Since you've already seen through me, I might as well be direct and tell you. I don't want New Genesis Coins; I just want something that can help me right now, like a ghost. As long as you can produce a ghost that satisfies me, I, Yang, am willing to work with you to take down our target. What's the harm in that?" Yang Haoran's face regained its previous smile as he spoke to the Fair Young Man.
Upon hearing this, the Fair Young Man's face also regained its smile. He looked Yang Haoran up and down before laughing and speaking.
"Haha, it seems Ye Zhiqiu that wine fool didn't deceive me. Yang Divine Envoy is indeed a pragmatic little man, oh no, I made a mistake, a real hero!"
Yang Haoran smiled faintly, seemingly not bothered at all by the Fair Young Man's words.
"Haha, whether I'm a pragmatic little man or a real hero, it doesn't matter. What matters is to increase one's own strength. Only when one's fist is big enough do they have the qualification to discuss morality with others."
