Chapter 315: High-Sounding Excuse for Robbing

Chapter 315: High-Sounding Excuse for Robbing

"Do you think we are going to be silenced by the victorious party?" Bai Rouyun's voice contained a slight tinge of expectation as she looked at the two groups of people fighting in front of them.

Although she was new to the Wushi Continent, her personality was not one to suffer, and although she tried to seem careful and considerate, in truth, she just loved to watch the world burn and observe the drama from the sidelines.

Most things would be treated as unimportant to her, and she would only become caring if it had some sort of influence on the people she had claimed as her own.

When people looked at Bai Rouyun, they would often be cheated by her cheerful and gentle demeanor, but due to her experiences, she was not a naive young woman.

She knew better than others that the world was cruel. Although she would never intentionally harm innocent mortals, she was not a person who would step out to stop injustice either. Cultivators, on the other hand, were not among the people she would avoid.

In her opinion, those who stepped onto the path of cultivation were those who wished to fight to become stronger. It was those who were willing to risk everything to reign supreme.

Those who stepped onto this path of life had to be willing to die at any moment, and even if there was no grudge between people, they might still face death when interests were involved.

This was why, when she found out that someone were fighting up front, she was willing to go and watch the drama. At the same time, she also had some impure thoughts about reaping the benefits of the fisherman.

After being abandoned as a child, she had long since gotten used to robbing others. Even if she was no longer the same as before, she still felt no qualms about stealing the possessions of those who were dead on the ground.

As for whether or not they were all dead before she arrived, that was not important, since they had already fought for so long, so even if anyone encountered their corpses later, they would assume that they had mutually destroyed each other, and a random group had come by and stolen the items.

"Mother, please do not smile so sinisterly."

While Bai Rouyun's thoughts were going wild in her mind, Xiao Jin's tender voice dragged her back to reality.

Only then did she realize that she had been fantasizing about killing and robbing the people in front of her, and she coughed as she tried to regain her composure.

"Why would you call my smile sinister? I am about to teach you about the importance of money. Everyone knows that while birds will die for food, humans will die for wealth, but always remember that money and treasures can only be used when you are alive. No matter how valuable an item is, when you are dead, it is no longer important.

"Look at the many corpses in front of you. Even if they were the richest people on the whole continent, it will not change that they have died now, and their worldly possessions cannot help them in the future.

"Because of this, we should be good people and help them. Look around and see if they have anything of value on their bodies and we will take it away. In return, we will purchase some paper money that they can use in Diyu while waiting for their reincarnation."

Although they clearly had nothing on their bodies to give away their identities, Bai Rouyun had already realized that their weapons and armor was not ordinary. As such, it would be great to take it away.

"But, Mother, they are not all dead. What about the ones who are still alive?" Jiaojiao was looking at the groups of people in front of her, and her pretty brows were furrowed as if she had met a great challenge that she could not find the solution to.

"If we kill them, won't they be dead then?" Xiao Mao's words were clearly not his own but belonging to Xiao Hua. The Golden Emperor Vine was swaying happily on top of his head, as if eager to make its stance clear. It wanted to attack as soon as possible.

"Please slow down." Although they had just undergone a huge battle, the surviving group were not completely out of energy, and Bai Rouyun could not help but smile slightly as she lowered her head.

Although their group had not been noticed right as they approached, Bai Rouyun's explanation of how to take the worldly possessions and purchase some paper money was noticed, making it clear that this young woman had found a very high-sounding excuse for robbing the corpses.

If it were merely the corpses of their enemies, then they would not mind, but from the sounds of the beast by her side, they also planned on making the rest of them into corpses.

"Your Excellency does not need to worry. While my companions might be carried away by my suggestions, we are not as cruel as you might think.

"We are new to the Wushi Continent, and cannot afford to offend a group of experts such as yourself. Please do not worry about our presence. We will get on our way and will not pose any danger to your group."

Although Bai Rouyun truly would not mind attacking this group and taking away their items, she still decided not to act rashly.

For someone to be willing to send a whole team of killers like this, it was obvious that the identity of the group was special. She was still new to the Wushi Continent, and gathering such a strong enemy for herself already would not be the most suitable decision.
