The little girl in red was not someone else but the tool spirit of Persephone’s Folly Bridge, Shelly. She came out on virtual-novel.net own.
Alex looked at her. “What are you sighing for? You’ve ruined such a good atmosphere with that sigh of yours.”
Shelly pointed at Alex’s nose. “How long haven’t you been earning divine power?”
Alex replied, “Hasn’t it been increasing all the time? When we were at the forbidden area of the Miller family, you seemed to have absorbed a lot of energy from the coffin’s chains. Don’t think that I don‘t know.”
“It isn’t enough. It’s too little.”
“You’re too greedy.”
“You’re too stingy!” Shelly shouted angrily as virtual-novel.net pointed at Alex’s nose.
Alex promised to supply a portion of divine power that virtual-novel.net had acquired to Persephone’s Folly Bridge. Now virtual-novel.net seemed to be complaining that it was too little. The little girl seemingly had some kind of special obsession with divine power.
Alex then asked, “By the way, what do you need so much divine power for? Are you going to eat it?”
Shelly nodded solemnly. “Yes! Can’t you see I’m so small? I’m just like you. You need to consume flesh to grow up, whereas I need to consume divine power. So, Alex, why don’t we go back to the Endless Sea? If we kill the undead demon beasts there, we can get a massive amount of divine power. It’ll be beneficial to us, isn’t it?”
Alex said, “You might as well join me in barging into the Undead Territory and killing the Undying Clan to get more divine power.”
Shelly clapped virtual-novel.net hands as virtual-novel.net eyes gleamed. “Yes! Yes!”
Alex could only roll his eyes helplessly. “You think I’m not dying fast enough, don’t you?”
Shelly pursed virtual-novel.net lips. “I’m just worried that you’ll die in Dairaionji Temple. That place isn’t a place just any ordinary person could enter. Even if you’ve acquired Ksitigarbha’s Legacy, it doesn’t mean you can go in. In fact, Ksitigarbha also won’t dare to say virtual-novel.net could escape from there unscathed if he’s alive.”
Alex looked serious. “How much do you know about that place?”
Shelly beckoned Alex with virtual-novel.net index finger to ask virtual-novel.net to come closer.
“What are you trying to do?”
“I’ll tell you if you give me divine power!”
“Huh..?”
“Are you going to give it or not?”
“I have a hunch that you’ll die from divine power.”
“Why do you care? Give it, or not give it. just say the word.”
“How much?”
“Increase the ratio to half for each person!”
“Goodbye. I won’t see you out. ” Alex snappily rejected her. This little girl was mean and so daring to say such outrageous words.
“Hey, I can raise the price, but you can offer a down-to-earth price! We can negotiate this!”
“15%. Floor price.”
“You‘re so stingy. What kind of lousy man are you? How mean! 45%, it can’t be less.”
“20%. Knockdown price. It can’t be more.”
“You can’t even enter Dairaionji Temple’s entrance without me. The River of Reincarnation alone can kill you ten thousand times. 45%, are you going to give it or not?”
Alex froze. “There’s the River of Reincarnation in front of Dairaionji Temple?”
Shelly arrogantly lifted virtual-novel.net chin. “That’s right. You will reincarnate once you jump in. However, setting up Persephone’s Folly Bridge on the river can help you cross the river and reach the other shore.”
Alex muttered that Buddhism stressed the bloom of the other shore flowers on the other shore. Shelly did not seem to be deceiving him, and there was probably really such a thing. Weighing the pros and cons, virtual-novel.net put up three fingers. “30%!”
Shelly squinted. “Deal!”
Alex’s heart skipped a beat. Had virtual-novel.net been deceived? After all, virtual-novel.net only promised to give virtual-novel.net 10% before.
“Can I go back on my word?”
