Chapter 1346: Chapter 842: Compensation Received, Inverted Kunlun (2)
On the other side, as soon as Bu Yingshu and Zhang Yu returned to the Immortal Cave Heaven, she kicked Zhang Yu forcefully.
"Zhang Yu! Were you not as severely injured from the start?!"
Without the Yu Linggen and the support of the Domineering Body, under Bu Yingshu’s Void Refining level strength... Zhang Yu couldn’t help but fall directly to the ground, pinned down hard by her foot.
Recalling how she thought this lower creature was done for, how anxious and angry she had been... she stomped on him two more times, saying, "Zhang Yu! Did you think that by leaving Wanfa’s land, you could mess with me like this?"
"Think clearly where your roots are!"
Feeling the terrifying strength from Bu Yingshu’s long legs, Zhang Yu quickly explained, "Taoist Lord, I really wasn’t lying to you. At that time, I truly felt like I was about to die. After all, I’m merely a Divinity Transformation cultivator, how could I possibly withstand a Void Refining strike without getting severely injured?"
Hearing this, Bu Yingshu couldn’t help but ease up a bit, and although she believed him three-tenths, her foot subconsciously reduced its pressure.
She herself was a Void Refining Cultivator, well aware of the enormous gap between Divinity Transformation and Void Refining. Zhang Yu being gravely injured and near death was indeed a normal state.
Feeling the power in Bu Yingshu’s foot weaken somewhat, Zhang Yu also breathed a small sigh of relief internally, thinking, "Sure enough, this woman still trusts me quite a bit."
Fu Ji also said, "Zhang Yu! Although it seems like she’s above you now, the truth is the real control is in your hands! You are the one truly standing tall!"
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Fu Ji, your judgment on the situation is getting more and more accurate."
Fu Ji thought inwardly, "Hehe, sure enough... Zhang Yu still trusts me quite a bit. Normally, subordinates should fade into transparency in such compromising situations with their leader. But I insist on doing the opposite, joining in, so that whenever Zhang Yu recalls such deep memories, he will remember me."
Fu Ji reminded, "Zhang Yu! Don’t stop, continue to flatter her! Her foot is applying force again."
The exchange in their minds completed in an instant, and Zhang Yu, feeling Bu Yingshu’s skeptical gaze, continued, "It might be due to the Immortal Inheritance later on that I felt my injuries gradually recovering."
"But when I contacted you, Taoist Lord... I really thought I was about to die. I even looked at my savings, realizing I didn’t have enough to revive myself. The only thought left in my mind was to contact you, Taoist Lord."
Bu Yingshu snorted, "What? Want me to lend you money? Or did you already plan to ask Xie Lanyin for compensation?"
Zhang Yu said, "At the time, I figured if I couldn’t carry on alive to serve you, Taoist Lord, then I’d become a Soul Cultivator under your command, continuing to work for you."
"What nonsense, why would I want a Soul Cultivator from the Lower Realm like you?"
Bu Yingshu turned her head away, "Zhang Yu, remember this: you belong to me. I need a living person who can refine cultivation techniques with me; if you die, you’re of no value to me, and I’m not interested in Soul Cultivators of your level!"
She recalled Zhang Yu’s contribution to her talent breakthrough and couldn’t help but think to herself, "This useless Zhang Yu, the work he’s doing is becoming increasingly dangerous. If it weren’t for my protection, he’d have been beaten to death long ago... I need to find a chance to get him to help refine cultivation techniques, quickly unleashing my full potential."
"Hmph... after I fully exhaust your utility and achieve my supreme talent, I won’t care whether you live or die."
With that thought, Bu Yingshu retracted her long leg, then gently kicked Zhang Yu a few more times, urging, "Come on, why are you still lying down during work hours? Get up and start working."
"First restore the Spirit Realm connection, then try to finish the other Committee tasks earlier. I have many more assignments for you."
Zhang Yu’s body flickered and floated up, saying, "I’ll go restore the Spirit Realm connection first."
Watching the departing figure, Bu Yingshu suddenly spoke coldly, "The 6.4 million you just obtained, what do you plan to do with it?"
Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, saying, "I haven’t decided yet."
Bu Yingshu commented casually, "Once you’ve decided, send me a list of what you want to buy."
Seeing Zhang Yu’s confused expression, Bu Yingshu suddenly felt a burst of impatience and inexplicable annoyance, saying, "I get discounts on purchases, understand?"
Zhang Yu thought helplessly, "Why is she angry again?"
He hurriedly said, "Understood, Taoist Lord, once I’ve decided, I’ll send the list to you."
"Then I’ll go to work now."
Watching Zhang Yu’s figure disappear on the Grotto Heaven Bridge, the trace of anger in Bu Yingshu’s heart gradually subsided.
"Lower Realm People are indeed Lower Realm People, not understanding even this... forcing me to explain, really troublesome."
"This Grotto Heaven is also simplistically dreadful, a doghouse is just a doghouse."
Bu Yingshu was about to step away, but before entering the Grotto Heaven Bridge, she seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, with a hand seal, she scanned the entire Grotto Heaven roughly.
Finding no persons who shouldn’t be there or any inexplicable traces of Sword Qi or Sword Intent, Bu Yingshu felt somewhat satisfied.
...
On the other side, within the office area of the Maze Realm.
In this area, which had lost the Spirit Realm connection and had temporarily halted all operations, Zhang Yu’s figure appeared quietly.
Bai Zhenzhen, seeing Zhang Yu appear unharmed, also breathed a sigh of relief.
