Chapter 945: For You, I Don't Want It Anymore
Because he understood Sharuth's personality, which was different from Lu Nai's.
But that didn't stop him from seeking what he rightfully deserved.
Well, the rewards far exceeded the usual price.
"It's just the two of us here." Sharuth looked at Wang Ye. "You can speak now. What's your plan?"
Without hesitation, Wang Ye took out the corpses of the Dark race Venerates.
The corpses piled up like mountains!
Sharuth was stunned.
After a moment, she looked up at Wang Ye. "Where did these come from? The mission astrolabe didn't record this."
"I killed them in the only passage," Wang Ye replied.
Sharuth instantly understood, her heart beating slightly faster.
Among them were not only high-grade Venerates but also peak Venerates with exceptionally high sky merit.
With these sky merits, she could immediately surpass and claim the first place!
"Why didn't you exchange them?" Sharuth asked, staring at Wang Ye. "And how did you manage to enter through the only passage?"
"Is it related to a divine item?"
"Was Chi Amber's demise also related to you?"
Wang Ye thought, "Why are you so clever?"
Wang Ye knew this well.
Once he presented these Dark race Venerates' corpses, many secrets would inevitably come to light.
That was why he wanted to have a private conversation with Sharuth.
"Don't ask so many questions," Wang Ye said, looking at Sharuth. "Just tell me, yes or no?"
"Alright." Sharuth nodded after a brief silence. "Tell me, what do you want?"
"Ten times the sky merit," Wang Ye said.
Sharuth was speechless.
"And three Nether Ganoderma," Wang Ye requested.
Sharuth remained silent.
"And a perfect ancient gem treasure."
Sharuth was at a loss of words.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
"I can't provide what you're asking for." Sharuth sighed.
"You can ask Madam or Sister," Wang Ye suggested with a smile.
"But you're asking for too much." Sharuth stared at Wang Ye.
Was this too much?
It was much less than what the Strength race had demanded.
"This is a test that will determine your destiny," Wang Ye said. "You should consider whether it's worth it."
"I need to consult Mother," Sharuth said. "Please wait."
"Sure." Wang Ye agreed.
After a while, Sharuth returned.
Their eyes met.
"Mother has agreed," Sharuth announced.
Wang Ye was speechless.
Did she agree to this?
He had made an exorbitant demand!
Madam Shag was generous!
She didn't even negotiate.
The Strength race should take note. This was how a prestigious race behaves!
Stop being so petty!
"However, Mother will provide you with the corresponding reward after I complete the baptism in the temple," Sharuth added cautiously.
She was being cautious.
Was she concerned about the uncertain origin of these Dark race Venerates?
"It's okay," Wang Ye reassured her. "Just make sure you keep your word."
"I will," Sharuth promised. "Even if Mother changes her mind, I'll do everything I can to fulfill your request."
Wang Ye nodded.
Ruth was indeed trustworthy.
"Congratulations on achieving first place, Young Master Ruth," Wang Ye said.
"Thank you." Sharuth looked at Wang Ye, hesitating for a moment. "You don't intend to take on the role of chief commander?"
"Can't bear to part with me?" Wang Ye chuckled.
Unexpectedly, Sharuth nodded. "Mother wants me to keep you at all costs."
Madam Shag had a good eye!
But unfortunately, it was futile.
"To let me stay by your side... there's only one possibility." Wang Ye gazed at Sharuth. "But for now, neither you nor I can make it happen."
"So, until we meet again, Young Master."
Sharuth's expression was complex.
She understood the meaning behind Wang Ye's words.
She also knew there was an insurmountable gap in their identities.
Wang Ye wouldn't give up other Sky race's women for her.
And she couldn't sacrifice herself just to keep a super genius.
Though she didn't dislike Wang Ye, and even admired him, but... they weren't that close yet.
"If I need you, will you come back?" Sharuth asked.
"Yes." Wang Ye nodded.
"Your word is enough." Sharuth nodded slightly, revealing a rare smile. "I hope that when we meet again, we'll be in different roles, sparking something new."
"Of course." Wang Ye smiled.
...
Wang Ye left the Sille Mansion!
No official responsibilities!
However, Sharuth still reserved the position of honorary legion commander for him.
This was given to retired legion commanders who had made outstanding contributions to the King Corps.
It held the same status as a legion commander but lacked the authority to command a legion.
But for Wang Ye, this was hardly significant.
Currently, Sajee, the legion commander of the first legion, and Lan Scarlet, the legion commander of the sixth legion, were both his protégés.
And Chief Commander Lu Nai was molded entirely by him!
His influence was pervasive throughout the new Sille King Corps!
"Are you leaving, Brother Ye?" Shakima was a bit reluctant.
"I was born restless." Wang Ye grinned. "Keep me in one place, and I'll die of boredom. Besides, in Ruth Court, my tenure as Chief Commander has run its course. What more goals do I have?"
Shakima rolled her eyes. "What else? You trying to climb up to Cousin?"
Wang Ye smirked.
Who knows who will climb up to whom in the future?
"Take good care of Lan Scarlet and manage the sixth legion," Wang Ye patted Shakima's shoulder. "She'll make an excellent legion commander."
"No matter how excellent she is, can she compare to you?" Shakima muttered.
"Of course not," Wang Ye chuckled. "But with Lan Scarlet's abilities, she's bound to become chief commander someday. Follow her, and you'll surely rise to great heights!"
"Alright." Shakima sighed in resignation.
Shakima thought, "Following you is the only way to soar. Unfortunately, that opportunity is lost."
...
Distributing sky merit!
Wang Ye was delighted.
Madam Shag was so generous and gave him so much sky merit.
That was ten times!
What a concept!
A high-grade Venerate had 10 million sky merit points. Ten times that was 100 million!
A peak Venerate had 20 million sky merit points. Ten times that was 200 million!
If only he had known earlier, he would have killed more...
However, his star reserve seemed empty.
Upon returning, he faced a daunting challenge.
He bid farewell to his subordinates, especially to An Lingwu, whom he hated to leave.
Turning away, Wang Ye headed to the neighboring Third Sequence Palace to strengthen his bond with An Lingsha!
He had gratuitously given his legion an attendant position!
But in the end, they hadn't gotten intimate at all!
An Lingsha was being unreasonable!
She just held his hand. It was too plain.
...
Tianjia King Garden.
"Detestable ugly monster!"
"You're almost late for the competition! Why aren't you back yet!"
"Such a big liar!"
Bea held a war saber in her hand, its intent palpable.
Her Spacetime Wing Blade Slash was executed with precision.
Her refined face was filled with anger, and the garden's flowers and plants suffered, petals strewn across the ground.
"Who's upset our Young Master again?" A familiar voice leisurely called out.
Bea's movement halted for a moment. Surprise filled her eyes. She bit her lip and turned away from Wang Ye. "Hmph, you finally know to come back!"
"Of course, I've been counting." Wang Ye appeared behind Bea, embracing her flexible waist from behind.
Bea's delicate body trembled slightly. Deliberately avoiding his gaze, she pouted. "What good does counting do? You're now part of Ruth Court. Sister Ruth will soon be independent. By then, you won't even be able to turn back!"
"I just went to Nordi to handle the formalities," Wang Ye said with a smile. "That's why I took a little extra time."
"From today, I'm a member of Bea Court again."
Upon hearing this, Bea's disbelief showed on her face. She suddenly turned, surprised. "Really? Uh..."
Her rosy lips quivered slightly. Bea's eyes widened instantly, limbs stiffening.
She was held tightly, unable to move.
Bea quickly shut her eyes, immersed in the sweetness and joy.
In the vast courtyard, their white wings enveloped them, resembling a pair of jadeite figures.
After a long while, they separated.
"Did you return to Bea Court?" Bea was still in disbelief.
"What else?" Wang Ye chuckled. "You want me to help you? I can't fight as a member of the Ruth Court."
Bea pouted. "I was just talking. You could've just come to cheer me on. I didn't ask you to fight..."
"Then I'll go back." Wang Ye turned around.
"No!" Bea grabbed Wang Ye's arm, hooking hers tightly around it. "You can't go anywhere! You have to stay here with me!"
After a pause, Bea asked softly, "What about your position as legion commander?"
"For you, I don't need it," Wang Ye replied.
Bea looked up at him. "But I heard you're amazing on this high-dimensional battlefield mission. You're number one in the Tianjia King Corps' sky merit! Everyone's talking about you! You can become the chief commander?"
"For you, I don't need it anymore," Wang Ye said seriously.
Bea held onto Wang Ye's arm even tighter, her head against his chest. "I'll work hard to cultivate! Will you wait for me? When I break through to High Dimension Lord, I'll appoint you as chief commander!"
"It's okay. Take your time." Wang Ye gently stroked her head. "I don't care about being chief commander or a top-grade Sky race. I only care about you."
"Yeah." Bea's face lit up with a sweet smile.
He was indeed good to her.
It wasn't just talk.
He was willing to give up everything for her.
He didn't even care about the superior-grade bloodline highly valued by the Sky race.
Her mother once said, that when her husband was willing to give up everything for her, it was true love.
She had found her true prince charming.
...
In the Cultivation Garden, Wang Ye stood silently by, watching Bea practice with her saber.
Awaiting the three battles against Wille Court in seven days.
With him present, losing was out of the question.
It was just a formality.
He wanted to make Wille Court feel complete despair.
It was impossible to turn the tide.
They were just dreaming.
Suddenly...
The emblem of the King Corps trembled slightly.
Wang Ye was surprised as he immersed his consciousness in perception.
What caught his eye were four dazzling words—Great Achievement!
Below were two options.
One was to exchange for 1 billion sky merits.
The other was to directly advance to a superior-grade Sky race!
Here it was!
Joy filled Wang Ye's eyes.
The advancement to superior-grade Sky race that he had been waiting for had finally arrived!
The great achievement granted by Tian Yumo had come early!
This was the true identity of a superior-grade Sky race!
Not the kind tied to Sharuth.
The difference in power was immense!
Wait!
Wang Ye's heart skipped a beat.
Did Tian Yumo's early grant of a great achievement mean... the Sky race was about to attack the Asura Realm?
