Feng Wu looked at Chen Ziyun. “How about we make a deal?”
Chen Ziyun was alarmed. “What do you want?”
Feng Wu said, “It’s over there.”
Chen Ziyun looked in the direction she was pointing.
He saw the enormous cesspit.
The Spirit Stone Worms’ cesspit.
It was surrounded by worms.
Chen Ziyun suddenly had a very bad feeling, and he was even more alarmed.
Feng Wu couldn’t make herself say it.
She asked Little Phoenix, “Can’t you order the worms to take it out?”
Little Phoenix said, “It’s their treasure. If they find out where it is, they’ll never give it to us. We have to take it quietly.
“Plus, what’s in the pit is feces to us. Do you know what they are to the Spirit Stone Worms?”
Feng Wu asked, “What?”
The bird said, “It’s their life essence!”
Feng Wu burst out laughing.
Little Phoenix said, “Stop laughing! I’m telling the truth. Why do you think I buried the spirit liquid here? Why do you think they come here?”
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
Little Phoenix said, “Let’s take it out as soon as possible before anything goes wrong. Zuo Qingluan is headed this way.”
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
She turned to Chen Ziyun. “Something is buried inside that pit.”
Chen Ziyun was mortified. “You’re not telling me to go in there, are you?”
Feng Wu cleared her throat.
Chen Ziyun shook his head repeatedly. “Never! That’s not going to happen!”
Feng Wu asked, “Are you sure?”
Chen Ziyun said, “Not gonna happen!”
Feng Wu said, “Alright. In that case, I’ll let Sun Yu and the others rise to the Spiritual King stage after I retrieve the treasure. You can remain a Spiritual Lord.”
Chen Ziyun said, “I don’t believe you.”
Feng Wu smiled and raised her hand.
A green vine extended from within her sleeve.
It was glowing.
However, the glow flickered a little.
Little Phoenix encouraged the vine. “It’s alright. You’re a plant. The feces will be very nutritious for you.”
The vine shivered reluctantly, but it dug into the pit in the end.
Chen Ziyun stared at Feng Wu. “What are you doing? Why are you stirring the cesspit?”
Feng Wu wanted to throw him inside.
However, she didn’t have time for that now.
She had the vine go deeper and deeper, but she couldn’t find anything.
Feng Wu asked impatiently, “Are you sure it’s buried here?”
Little Phoenix said, “Of course! I buried it myself. Why can’t you find it?”
Feng Wu said, “If you could dig the hole before, why can’t you take it out on your own?”
Little Phoenix said, “Well, I…”
Just then, they heard footsteps.
“Zuo Qingluan’s here,” Little Phoenix reminded Feng Wu. “She broke off from the others.”
Feng Wu looked around and gestured at Chen Ziyun to take cover.
Chen Ziyun was confused. “Why do I need to hide?”
Feng Wu said, “You’re a witness. If Zuo Qingluan kills me, do you think she’ll let you live?”
Chen Ziyun asked, “Zuo Qingluan wants to kill you? Why?”
