She became a god

After reading it, Ye Qingzhou smiled and said, "Just as I thought."

Before Long Yi could complain, Ye Qingzhou explained, "Although the invitations in my hand and yours are both for asking for help, the rewards are different."

"Isn't this normal? Who would give two races the exact same gift? Shouldn't you consider what the recipient wants when giving a gift?"

Ye Qingzhou smiled but did not answer, then asked, "Did you accept their payment?"

"The Iron-Eating Beast Clan can only offer a little land, spiritual plants, spiritual stones, and spiritual artifacts. Our clan has never lacked these things. When our clan accepted the invitation, we were unaware that the Iron-Eating Beast Clan was such a terrifying existence. In order to show the magnanimity of our great clan, we replied that we would not accept the reward and only sent us to investigate."

Ye Qingzhou sighed softly, "That's right, the scheming started with the invitation. Our two clans refused the reward, which is why we've survived until today. The dead I saw in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood belonged to different races of Little Green Mountain. I suppose they died because they didn't refuse the reward."

Long Yi cursed under his breath, "That's too vicious. How could a demon possibly refuse a benefit offered to him?"

Ye Qingzhou couldn't help but marvel at the wisdom of the ghosts, "They've always been playing word games with us. The invitation says you'll help in exchange for a reward, but in reality, it's about trading your greed for the reward for your life."

Long Yi couldn't stand it anymore, "You castrated your father! You trade your own greed for your own life, so those ghosts can kill without paying anything in return?"

Although Ye Qingzhou also felt a lingering fear, there were more important things to do at the moment, and he couldn't waste time on insults and venting his anger.

The mountains are high, the waters are deep, the road is long, the fish swim, and they have entered the sky.

The mountains are low, the water is shallow, the road is narrow, the fish fly, and they end up on the table.

"Going back to the nursery rhyme, the fish probably refers to the prey they have chosen. The mountain and water road, in my opinion, has two meanings."

"The first meaning is that the mountains, rivers and roads refer to the difficulty of escape. If the escape is difficult, the fish will not panic, will act normally, and will not be affected by the outside world. In this case, there is a chance of survival. If the escape is easy, the fish will be happy and will be eager to escape. In the end, they will only become food on the plate."

"A second meaning, hopefully there isn't one..."

Long Yi was listening intently when he saw Ye Qingzhou hesitate and urged, "Speak quickly, or you'll be held fully responsible if I get killed by a ghost later."

Ye Qingzhou didn't answer immediately, but instead asked Long Yi a question, "Do you have a wish?"

"Given the current situation, how could I dare to have any wishes?"

"Regarding the second meaning, I speculate that the mountains, rivers, and roads may refer to greed. The stronger the greed, the more likely one is to survive by refraining from making wishes. Conversely, death is certain. If this is the meaning, we are in great danger."

"Why? Aren't you going to refuse if your wish comes true?"

Ye Qingzhou said honestly, "That voice has a special power. Under its influence, you will not be able to resist following your inner desires. I can refuse because I have a spiritual treasure that helps cultivators to purify their minds and reduce their desires, so that I can maintain a clear mind."

Upon hearing this, Long Yi quickly put her hand on Ye Qingzhou's shoulder, "Good sister, do you have any extra? I won't take it for nothing. After we get out, I'll take you to my treasure vault. You can see if there's anything you like and take three treasures out."

Ye Qingzhou said, "Yes, there are, but they are all one-time use items, and the quantity is limited. I can give each of your clan's fellow Daoists who come here three one-time use treasures at most."

"also."
