Chapter 586 - 187: Caught in the Act
Zi Yuan nodded, pretending indifferently, and wiped the cracks on the Black Gold Card again.
It seemed like he wanted to wipe away those cracks, only then did he carefully put it away. "I see, understood."
However, in the gaze that occasionally moved in the direction of the Black Gold Card, it was still somewhat hard to hide the regret.
After all, who knows when he’ll see Young Friend Prince again.
After observing Zi Yuan’s actions carefully, Bingtang nodded to herself, as it was inconvenient to keep in contact with such a person.
The suspects only left are the Prince of Mirror Country and Iris.
Thinking about it, Bingtang also pulled out a Black Card from her own pocket.
"Though it can’t compare to those Black Gold Cards, this also has three hundred thousand. If you need it urgently, just take it."
"Forget it."
Can’t afford to pay it back.
The dignified Sect Leader of Cyan Cloud Sect certainly cannot borrow money without repaying it.
Even Emperor Ye honestly goes back to pay parking fees, and for her not yet an emperor, to borrow money without repaying would be a disgrace to her ancestors.
"Not considered as borrowing." Bingtang, as if knowing what she was thinking, added, "It’s the surplus in Cyan Cloud Sect, it’s originally yours."
Zi Yuan glanced at her, "Really?"
"Facing the Sect Master, I wouldn’t dare to lie."
"Isn’t the sect’s funding tight?"
"Recently, after cooperating with the Disaster Strategy Bureau, it loosened up quite a bit, naturally it’s to show filial respect to you, Sect Master."
Hearing Bingtang’s words, Zi Yuan accepted the Black Card casually, "As it should be."
But honestly, after obtaining the five million per card Black Gold Card, the threshold really increased by a lot.
Such that thirty thousand, which used to seem like a lot, now feels a bit like small change.
Now only million-level Black Gold Cards can satisfy her...
"Sect Master, don’t just accept money from outsiders."
Bingtang earnestly said beside her, "Outsiders are full of schemes, taking a bit of their money might have unimaginable costs."
"Whether good or bad, I make my own conclusions."
Young Friend Prince gifted a total of ten Black Gold Cards.
How could she be a bad person?
A bad woman seeks money, and since she paid herself from her own pocket, what more could she seek, my kidneys?
So much money, selling her a kidney wouldn’t be impossible, anyhow I could grow it back...
In any case, Young Friend Prince is a good woman.
Bingtang then whispered, "Perhaps they don’t seek money, but allying with Cyan Cloud Sect itself is more valuable, using your name for deceit or harm is possible; this concerns Cyan Cloud Sect’s reputation, world peace... Sect Master, you must think deeply."
Zi Yuan originally intended to say it’s unrelated to Cyan Cloud Sect.
But upon thinking, the Catastrophe Dragon form and herself were indeed inseparable, some in the Disaster Strategy Bureau knew.
Though disguising as the Golden Disaster Dragon King was possible, surely not everyone in the Disaster Strategy Bureau could be trusted to be idiots.
After hesitating for a while, she nodded, "Kind of makes sense."
Then she took out ten Black Gold Cards to look.
Though it hurt a bit.
But ten was still too many, leading one to doubt whether Young Friend Prince had ulterior motives.
Doubting such a sincere friend made Zi Yuan feel somewhat sorry, but Bingtang had already said so.
She must also consider whether Young Friend Prince guessed her identity and tried bribing her with Black Gold Cards, should a request to violently intervene with the Disaster Strategy Bureau arise.
With such ten Black Gold Cards, refusing is somewhat challenging.
After all, having received, obligations follows, can’t completely do nothing, right?
Clenching her jaw, Zi Yuan tightly gripped the Black Gold Cards, though it pierced her heart, she made a decision.
Once meeting Young Friend Prince again, she’ll return nine cards, keeping only one.
The counterpart might not mind such trivial matters, taking only one card would provide ease in declining any unpleasant matters in the future.
Thus ensuring her thoughts are clear.
On the path of Cultivation Immortality, obscured thoughts are most feared, exchanging nine Black Gold Cards for peace of Dao Heart, not a loss.
Absolutely not a loss...
With that thought, Zi Yuan tenderly stroked the ten cards, as if bidding farewell to an old friend.
Indeed, the texture felt excellent.
Especially considering the deposited money, that weighty and full warmth further amplified the tactile allure, making it hard to put them down...
After putting away the Black Gold Card, Zi Yuan immediately began constructing her alchemy process.
Since the last Fasting Pill failure, she was constantly pondering her mistakes.
While it might not be her fault but the world’s Dao problem, as Daoist Master, failing to alter Heavenly Dao was her fault.
Now mastering Curse Power of Curse Realm, Zi Yuan finally realized the failure’s root.
Simply put, a Fasting Pill is merely a Magic Block, though it momentarily replenishes Magic Power, it’s utterly redundant for herself who rarely lacks Magic Power.
Due to being a Magic Block, it doesn’t even provide a satiety effect. She thought maintaining magic-filled gut sensation assured no hunger, yet reality proved magic cannot deceive the flesh.
However, curses are different; their diverse nature surpasses mere Magic Blocks, and some curse traits internally evoke intensely fulfilling sensations.
This she discovered when engulfing living planets.
Even Catastrophe Dragon’s vast stomach felt filled.
This means leveraging curses’ traits easily creates Fasting Pills having satiety sensation.
Most importantly, curses’ unceasing nature.
