CHAPTER 1901: CHAPTER 1898: LITTLE LIAR! SHUI QINGLING! (5)

Lin Bai was originally dealing with a Flood Dragon Puppet. After slaying it, he saw the Red Tribute Bead fly out from within it, only to be immediately swept away and protected by other Flood Dragon Puppets.

Shui Qingling looked at Lin Bai and said calmly.

Lin Bai asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Shui Qingling smiled and said, "We have now slain nearly thirty Puppet Flood Dragons. But as you’ve seen, every time a Red Pearl contribution appears, these Flood Dragon Puppets sweep it away and protect it. We can’t get to them at all."

"And if we want to get these tributes, then we must kill all the Flood Dragon Puppets here to obtain all the tributes!"

"But you also saw that Huo Fentian brought more than twenty Tianjiao from the Fire Domain here. If later, we join forces to kill all the Puppet Flood Dragons here and allocate the Red Pearls, do you think Huo Fentian will give any to us?"

Shui Qingling looked at Lin Bai and said with a soft smile.

Lin Bai’s heart sank as he glanced at Huo Fentian and the Tianjiao from the Fire Domain, remaining silent.

Shui Qingling said, "After we kill all the Puppet Flood Dragons here, I’m afraid the Tianjiao from the Fire Domain will unite against the two of us."

"We are outmatched and likely unable to resist. We’ll probably have to abandon the tributes and just run for our lives."

Shui Qingling continued to speak.

Lin Bai remained silent.

Seeing that Lin Bai did not speak, Shui Qingling continued, "I have a plan, but it requires your cooperation."

Lin Bai asked curiously, "What plan?"

Shui Qingling smiled lightly and said, "The two of us will jointly attack the area where the tributes are. You’ll hold off the other Flood Dragon Puppets, and I’ll take all the protected tributes. Then, we’ll split them evenly. How about it?"

Lin Bai looked towards the bottom of the pool.

Currently, all the Red Pearls are being protected by several Flood Dragon Puppets, preventing Lin Bai and others from easily obtaining them.

Just as Shui Qingling said, to get the Red Pearls, one must kill all the Flood Dragons here. But at that point, there are over twenty Tianjiao from the Fire Domain present, and Lin Bai is alone, as is Shui Qingling. Clearly, they can’t compete with over twenty Tianjiao from the Fire Domain!

Currently, there are nearly three thousand Red Pearls here. If they are taken now, it would be a good solution.

Lin Bai chuckled lightly, "Why should I trust you? Earlier, you snatched my tributes."

Shui Qingling frowned with a bitter smile, "Oh my little brother, is your heart really that small? Fine, fine, I’ll return these Red Pearls to you."

As she spoke, Shui Qingling took out over a hundred Red Pearls she had taken from Lin Bai earlier and handed them directly to him.

Lin Bai glanced at them, saw there were about a hundred, and without counting further, stored them directly into his Storage Bag.

"Do you believe me now?"

Shui Qingling looked at Lin Bai with sincere big eyes, clear and pure, like a little sister next door!

"Alright."

Lin Bai chuckled lightly and agreed.

Shui Qingling’s face brightened with joy as she said with a smile, "Alright, then you go hold off those Flood Dragon Puppets, and I’ll snatch the protected Red Pearls. Once I have them, I’ll come to help you break free, and then we’ll leave the Water Pond to divide the Red Pearls!"

Lin Bai nodded with a smile, "Alright."

Speaking, Lin Bai wielded the Demonic Sword. His figure turned into a swift flow in the water, rushing toward all the protected Red Pearls.

At this moment, the warriors of the Fire Domain saw Lin Bai’s move and hurriedly said, "Young Master, that sword cultivator is headed for those Red Pearls."

Huo Fentian glanced over and sneered coldly, "Heh, let him go. There are over a dozen Flood Dragons protecting them; he won’t be able to get those Red Pearl contributions."

"Let’s quickly kill all the Flood Dragons here, and then all the Red Pearls will be ours. If Shui Qingling and that sword cultivator dare to snatch them, we’ll make sure they die without leaving a corpse!"

Huo Fentian said with a fierce look on his face.

Just as Shui Qingling said, Huo Fentian never intended to share the Red Pearl contributions with Lin Bai or Shui Qingling. They only wanted to get the Red Pearls after killing all the Flood Dragons here, and then casually kill Lin Bai and Shui Qingling as well.

Lin Bai rushed toward the location of the more than ten Puppet Flood Dragons. The sword light immediately slashed down, breaking open the scales of one Flood Dragon, leaving a terrifying Sword Mark.

At this moment, the more than ten Flood Dragon Puppets, protecting the Red Pearls, swung their bodies fiercely and charged at Lin Bai together.

"Now’s the time!"

Lin Bai hurriedly shouted to Shui Qingling.

Shui Qingling saw Lin Bai lure away more than ten Puppet Flood Dragons, immediately became thrilled, and her figure merged with the water, disappearing without a trace.

When Shui Qingling reappeared, she was already in front of the Red Pearl contributions, her eyes sparkling with joy, seeing nearly three thousand Red Pearls here, her face full of excitement.

Lin Bai shouted, "Quick, collect the Red Pearls and come help me!"

Hearing Lin Bai’s voice, Shui Qingling chuckled lightly and said, "Oh my little brother, you should stay here and play with these Flood Dragon Puppets. Big sister needs to leave first."

Upon hearing Shui Qingling’s words, Lin Bai’s expression immediately turned cold, angrily looking at Shui Qingling, "Didn’t we have an agreement?"

Shui Qingling giggled joyfully, "Little brother, didn’t your family elders teach you? Never trust beautiful girls; beautiful girls can be deceiving!"

Lin Bai’s eyes flashed with a cold glint, and he was already certain in his heart that Shui Qingling intended to go back on her word and take all the Red Pearl contributions for herself.

Shui Qingling laughed excitedly, raised her hand, and with a wave, a vortex formed, sweeping up all of the more than three thousand Red Pearl contributions, ready to store them directly in her Storage Bag.

But just at this moment.

Suddenly, from the bottom of this pile of Red Pearl contributions, a fierce light shot upwards.

Shui Qingling looked stunned, and upon looking down, she discovered three more Flood Dragon Puppets hidden beneath the Red Pearl contributions, ones Lin Bai had deliberately not touched earlier!

"Not good!"

Shui Qingling shouted in alarm, dodging backward.

Swish—

Just as Shui Qingling retreated, she saw a sword light sweep by. On that sword, stood a white-robed man. He went straight to the front of the Red Pearl contributions and with a wave of his sleeves, swept them all away!

"You deliberately didn’t lure away the three Flood Dragons beneath the Red Pearl contributions..." Shui Qingling, besieged by three Flood Dragons, glared as she watched Lin Bai take all the tributes.

Lin Bai chuckled softly, "Little sister, not only do beautiful girls deceive, but handsome older brothers do as well!"

"You stay here and enjoy with these Flood Dragons. The big brother must go now."

After taking the more than three thousand Red Pearl contributions, Lin Bai rode his Flying Sword and dashed out of the Lake Bottom.

Shui Qingling stood dumbfounded, watching Lin Bai fly away on his sword. At this moment, she realized what had happened.

After agreeing with Shui Qingling, Lin Bai went ahead and lured away more than a dozen Flood Dragon Puppets, but deliberately left behind the three hidden ones.

Then, pretending to be entangled by over ten Flood Dragon Puppets, unable to extricate himself, he let Shui Qingling go retrieve all the Red Pearl contributions, while in reality, Lin Bai used her to lure away the three hidden Flood Dragon Puppets.

As Shui Qingling fell into the trap and drew out those three hidden Flood Dragon Puppets, Lin Bai summoned his Flying Sword and swiftly broke free from the encirclement of the dozen Flood Dragon Puppets, taking all the Red Pearl contributions in an instant!

Straight afterward, Lin Bai, adeptly, left on his Flying Sword.
