Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

“Listen, we’re willing to keep your secret, but how are you going to thank us for it?”

Lu Siya squatted down in front of A’Ji and grinned. “It’s just as you said. Regaining youth is a miracle of life! If we don’t take a big portion of what you have, you won’t believe that we’d help you keep such a big secret, right?”

A’Ji widened his eyes and stuttered, “Y-You’ve already taken all the cultivation resources, treasures, and secret data in this lab. These things are enough to turn an amateur into an elite!

“Forget everything else, the seven Hell’s Blood that Big Brother Chao took were the most powerful super gene medicine in Dragon City. Jin Wanhao spent decades searching for the materials and creating them. And he only made seven vials. There were only seven!

“I wanted to use them to refine my new body now that I regained my youth and reach a state higher than Battle God Lei Zongchao when he was at his peak. But Big Brother Chao just drank them in such a simple and crude manner!

“O-Of course, I have no opinions about Big Brother Chao drinking Hell’s Blood. But I really have nothing else. What more do you want?”

A’Ji looked like his heart was broken and he was really sad.

“Enough with that pitiful look. It’s useless.” Lu Siya pursed her lips. “Didn’t you say that cunning rabbits have three dens? Aside from this secret lab, what other treasures did the Underground Emperor have?”

“That’s…” A’Ji’s eyes roved about, and he spoke falteringly. “There is more, but the scale of the other secret garages is smaller. The facilities are simple there. They can’t store valuable materials, either. 90% of Jin Wanhao’s wealth is here.

“Since these treasures are yours now, why don’t you just let me have those secret labs that aren’t worth anything? I’m just a pitiful boy who is growing and in need of nutrition, after all.”

“Don’t try that.” Lu Siya scoffed and exposed A’Ji’s lie. “When I was searching through the secret lab, I found many signs of the shelves and cupboards being moved. The materials that should have been stored inside were gone.

“Now that I think about it carefully, this secret lab might be shut off by iron walls now, but sooner or later, it would have been opened by Golden Tooth.

“You’ve already decided to cut ties with the former Saber Jin Wanhao, so it’s impossible for you to leave the most valuable treasures here and let the Golden Tooth members have them without paying.

“That’s why, I highly suspect, no, I’m certain that over the past few months since you regained your youth, you moved a lot of the treasures that were originally stored here to other bases and storages. Only treasures like Hell’s Blood and a handful of others that weren’t stable and needed to be stored under strict conditions weren’t moved in time. Am I right, my dear A’Ji?”

“You…” A’Ji’s face turned pale, but he had nothing to say to that.

“Be good and hand over all your treasures.” Lu Siya put on a gentle look that made even Meng Chao shudder. She pinched A’Ji’s face gently and used the tone of a weasel meeting a chick to say gently, “Just now, we could be considered to have trusted each other with our backs when we fought against the Vortex. We were even ready to sacrifice our lives for each other.

“Besides, I admire the Underground Emperor a lot. I really treat this ruler who controlled the lair and could do whatever he wanted here as my greatest idol. In fact, I admire him more than I do Battle God Lei Zongchao!

“I won’t ask for everything. Just hand over all the treasures, resources, materials, medicines, and data. We’ll split them into three portions, and everyone will have 33.333%. No one will have 0.000001% more than the other. Isn’t that just fair?”

“That’s not fair at all!” A’Ji looked like he was about to burst into tears. “Those things belong to me! They’re things that Saber Jin Wanhao got through hard work over his entire life and putting his neck on the line!”

“But you’re A’Ji, not Jin Wanhao. The real Jin Wanhao is already dead. Isn’t that the news that you want us to reveal to the world?” Lu Siya asked faintly. “Since Jin Wanhao is already dead, was a bachelor with no children, and accumulated these items through illegal means from gray areas, naturally, all who see them have a share in them. What’s wrong with that?”

A’Ji could not retort. He held back his tongue until his face turned red, then he finally said, “You can say whatever you want, but I still won’t reveal the coordinates of those secret garages and the way to open them. If you want them so much, then you might as well kill me, and we’ll be done!”

“I won’t kill you. Killing you won’t do me any good, and I never do something that won’t give me profit.” Lu Siya remained calm even when she faced A’Ji and continued being shameless. “Don’t worry, I won’t reveal your secret. You want to enjoy pure freedom as ‘they boy from Leprosy Village’, right? Fine, I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll fulfill your request.

“But from this moment on, I will keep an eye on you 24/7, and I won’t let you have the chance to go to those secret garages and retrieve the treasures of the Underground Emperor to cultivate. Do believe in my strength and determination. You won’t be able to escape from my hands.”

A’Ji was stunned for a moment. “Wh-What’s the meaning behind it? That’s the same as you causing everyone to suffer. You won’t be able to get anything.”

“Looks like you still don’t understand the situation, my dear A’Ji. This isn’t a situation where we’re all going to end up suffering.”

Lu Siya continued smiling gently. She pinched A’Ji’s face and said, “Meng Chao and I are fine. Even if we don’t have the Underground Emperor’s treasures, we’ll still get a lot of cultivation resources from Sky Pillar Corporation, Superstar, Agricultural University, the abnormal beast research center, Broken Star Club, and Blue Home. We’ll continue marching forward down the path of glory.

“The Underground Emperor’s treasures are just a delightful surprise to us. It’ll just give us more strength.

“But you’re different. These treasures are ten times, no, one hundred times more important to you than to us. Without the Underground Emperor’s treasure, you’re just a normal boy from Leprosy Village. Right now, your arms are also heavily injured. You’re about to enter puberty too, and that’s the most crucial stage.

“If you miss out on properly developing your body during puberty, your nerves, flesh, bones, and spirit meridian system will take the wrong shape, and no matter how much you cultivate, it’ll all be for naught. That’ll be the same as your entire life being ruined. You probably will not even be able to become as mighty as Golden Tooth’s gang leader. Think about it properly, aren’t I just making sense?

“Of course, if you really want to just be free, then even if you accomplish nothing and just be a poor, normal person, it’s fine, because you’ll still be free. All that I said just now will indeed not be a threat to you.”

A’Ji’s expression changed drastically.

Fear and hesitation flashed in his eyes.

“Y-You’re so ruthless…”

The boy wanted to cry, but could shed no tears. He cast a resentful and pleading gaze at Meng Chao.

Meng Chao placed his hands behind his back and looked skyward. He examined the cracks that were left behind on the ceiling during the battle.

He looked so focused that it was as if the secrets of the ancient ruins were contained in those cracks.

A’Ji’s expression changed rapidly. He struggled in his heart for a long time before he finally cradled his arms and nodded in great pain. In a quivering voice, he said, “Alright, I-I promise. Those who see it have a share in it, and everyone gets a fair share. But you can’t just take the Underground Emperor’s treasure for free, right? After you take those valuable resources, you have to think of a way for me to get a brand new identity and a new cultivation room and lab so that I can recover my strength as soon as possible.”

“That’s easy. Since you’re just a nine-year-old boy, you will indeed have a hard time trying to do plenty of things in our society. With our help, I believe that you will definitely have an easy time in your new life. This is a win-win situation!”

Lu Siya’s eyes sparkled. She smiled and said, “Also, I believe that Jin Wanhao wouldn’t have gathered just materials and gene medicine to live a new life when he was trying to break free of Golden Tooth. He must have kept a lot of bearer bonds and universal currency for the deep web, right? Don’t you think that you should be sharing these things with us as well?”

A’Ji gritted his teeth. “S-Stop asking for a mile. You’re going overboard!”

“If a child has too much cash on him and wanders around on the streets in a flashy manner, he’ll end up getting killed.” Lu Siya said coldly and shrugged. “It’s just as I mentioned just now. You’re a nine-year-old boy. Isn’t it dangerous for you to spend large amounts of bearer bonds and illegal money? If you hand it over to us, we’ll help you launder your money. Isn’t that much safer? So, I’m actually helping you avoid getting killed. Don’t go rejecting my kindness now.”

She was still smiling like a considerate older sister.

But when she pinched A’Ji’s cheeks, she gradually increased her strength as if she was turning her fingers into clamps.

Once again, she released the bone-chilling presence of the Queen Bee.

Meng Chao gulped.

Without saying a single word, he took half a step to the side.

“I-I understand.” A’Ji was also a little terrified of Lu Siya’s smile. He felt that the Queen Bee was even more terrifying than the Vortex, because she was someone who would exploit another until he had nothing left.

He was currently a lamb waiting for slaughter, and he was in so much pain that tears fell from his eyes. He could only nod. “Those who saw it have a share in the profit. I’ll give you whatever you want.

“Y-You’ve already taken every single one of the Underground Emperor’s treasure. You’ve plucked everything from me, so you should let me go now, right?!”

“Hmm…”

Lu Siya did not comment. She was still staring at A’Ji, and her smile turned even more mysterious.

If someone blocked off her voice and demeanor, she would really be like a gentle and kind older sister who was being considerate for a beloved younger brother.

But with the aggressive and oppressive demeanor, she was something else.

“W-What else do you want?! This time, I really have nothing left!” A’Ji cried bitterly.

“I know, I can’t bear taking anything else from you either.” Lu Siya narrowed her eyes. “But I just watched you execute Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash when fighting against the Vortex. It seems to be pretty powerful.”
