Chapter 141: Li Xiaobai Enjoys Helping Others

```

"Woof, baldy!"

Ergouzi seemed to have a natural aversion to monks, baring his teeth at the little monk in a grimace.

"Hehe, it's a little baldy!" Ji Wuqing glanced at the monk indifferently.

"Amitabha, I am Liaowang, a monk from Lotus Sutra Temple in the Western Desert. I have met the benefactors. Just now, I saw the benefactors committing killings; my heart could not bear it, I beseech you to lay down the butcher's knife."

The little monk's eyes were clear, his hands pressed together, he spoke meticulously.

"I am Li Xiaobai. The master is unaware; these are all utterly wicked people. Just now, they attempted to dishonor this maiden. We cultivators have a sense of righteousness as vast as the sky. When we see injustice, we shout out against it; when it's time to act, we must act decisively and eliminate these scoundrels."

"It is not indiscriminate killing."

Li Xiaobai spoke with utmost seriousness.

Ouyang Shuanger in the vehicle behind rolled her eyes upon hearing this. If it weren't for the sake of Spirit Stones, you surely would've driven off directly just now.

"Not true, even though they are utterly wicked, people are inherently good. With earnest guidance, they can still turn over a new leaf. Master Li, your actions just now have deepened your sins," Liaowang frowned and said.

Li Xiaobai was speechless, feeling that this little monk had something missing in his head. Where in the Cultivation World could there be good people?

He himself had been cheated plenty of times on his journey.

But this monk seemed a bit scary, with his ability to shrink the earth to an inch, and just now, the concentration level of that Primordial Spirit didn't seem like something a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator could achieve.

He feared that his cultivation level started at the Divinity Transformation Stage, so it was probably best not to provoke such a genius for now. Finding the fragment was the main task at hand.

"Then master, please conduct a ritual for them so that they may be good people in their next life. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

Without waiting for the little monk Liaowang to react, Li Xiaobai opened the car door, jumped in, and floored the accelerator, speeding off in the truck.

"Woof, goodbye, baldy!" Ergouzi grinned broadly, a mischievous smile on his face.

"Hehe, little rabbit!" Ji Wuqing fluttered her wings.

Liaowang, watching the receding truck, looked conflicted. He glanced at the ground covered in flesh and finally sighed softly, sitting down in lotus position and beginning to chant sutras for the souls of the deceased.

A faint golden light rose up, the low murmuring of sacred chants bidding farewell to the fallen.

Inside the truck, Li Xiaobai released a sigh of relief as he saw through the rearview mirror that the little monk was not pursuing them. Liao Chen seemed rather stubborn, a real stickler.

He personally admired Monk Xuan Bei, ranked fourth on the leaderboard, who had crowdfunded a temple. This monk didn't stick to traditional Buddhist ways and brought Buddhist Law to the world through crowdfunding; what a business-minded operation.

Without spending a dime, he managed to get a temple for free.

That's what you call a real boss!

"Woof, kid, your ranking has gone up!"

Ergouzi played with a small token in his hand and suddenly shouted in surprise.

"Hehe, really, it's gone up by dozens of places, probably because you just killed those three men," Ji Wuqing said, looking amazed.

"And that baldy, actually ranking at three hundred, Lord Ergouzi does not accept this!" Ergouzi was very angry.

"Such a character, I could beat ten of them. This broken ranking isn't accurate at all!"

Ji Wuqing was excited too upon seeing Liaowang's name.

Li Xiaobai took out his token to check.

The Leaderboard.

Rank 9,973: Begging for Death Li Xiaobai.

Indeed, that must have been Huang Yi's previous ranking, which I took over after he was taken out.

But for little monk Liaowang to actually be ranked at three hundred was unexpected for me.

Li Xiaobai felt some regret; had he known earlier, he should have been ruthless and taken the monk out directly. Maybe then he would have risen in the ranks right away.

A hint of confusion flashed in Ouyang Shuanger's eyes as she too held a small token in her hand.

```

She was also on the leaderboard, so why was the ranking of this big shot next to her even lower than hers?

How could such a master only be ranked in the 9,000th place on the Human List?

Li Xiaobai quickly scanned through the leaderboard.

The Human List.

Number 7333: Princess Ouyang Shuanger of Zhenyuan Country.

Hiss!

Just a no-name Princess, and her ranking was even higher than his own, Li Xiaobai felt a slight imbalance in his heart.

"Miss Shuanger, how much do you know about the Tianbei Secret Realm, and where are the most treasures?"

"Naturally, the most treasures are within the small worlds in the Secret Realm,"

Ouyang Shuanger said, not knowing why she felt a mysterious chill.

"What's a small world?" Li Xiaobai was somewhat puzzled.

"Since ancient times, powerful beings who have understood the Dao would create their own small worlds. These small worlds are isolated from the rest of the world, a domain of their own making. The powerful could meditate on the Dao undisturbed within them. Now that these powerful beings have ascended, there must be a wealth of treasures accumulated inside these small worlds."

"The things left behind by the great ascended masters, even a common weed has miraculous effects, many powerhouses are here this time for these small worlds,"

Ouyang Shuanger explained.

"I see, so has anyone from your Zhenyuan Country come?"

"My Grand Emperor Grandfather is here. He is at the Spirit Realm Great Perfection in his cultivation level. If you could take me to him, the Grand Emperor will surely reward you handsomely!"

A cunning light flashed in Ouyang Shuanger's eyes. If the Grand Emperor were here, she would make sure to get back at this fellow good and hard.

"Taking you there isn't impossible, but how much can you offer?"

Li Xiaobai asked, as long as it wasn't someone at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, there shouldn't be a big problem.

"Ten thousand high-grade Spirit Stones?"

"This journey is perilous, and many powerhouses are contending with one another, your offering of Spirit Stones makes it hard for me to do this task for you," Li Xiaobai shook his head and sighed.

"Twenty thousand, I can't offer more!"

Ouyang Shuanger gritted her teeth, as long as she could reach the Grand Emperor's side, she'd be the safest.

"Deal!"

"Miss Shuanger, now you owe me thirty thousand Spirit Stones. We're clear about deals between siblings, let's set this up with a vow of heart first."

Ouyang Shuanger: "..."

...

A few minutes later.

Ouyang Shuanger felt a sense of despair. Under Li Xiaobai's coercion and inducements, she eventually took an oath with her Dao heart, promising to repay the owed Spirit Stones as soon as she returned to Zhenyuan Country.

She had no choice; this big shot by her side had declared that if she didn't take the oath, he would throw her off the side of the road.

The truck had already gone deep into the Secret Realm. At this point, acting alone would be akin to seeking death. With no other option, she signed the unfair contract.

Li Xiaobai was thrilled; this was a bountiful haul. With just a bit of talking, thirty thousand high-grade Spirit Stones were his. In just a short span of an hour or two, he'd made more than what he'd earn in several days of running a shop.

Helping others really brought in money faster. He wished he could encounter a few more cultivators who killed and robbed for treasures.

Humming a tune and about to try his "throwing shoes to ask for directions" trick again, Li Xiaobai's pupils suddenly constricted, his hairs stood on end, and a chill overcame his heart.

Through the rearview mirror, he clearly saw a bald little monk smiling as he casually walked towards him. Indeed, casually walking, but with each step taken, the gap between him and the truck closed instantly.

In a few blinks, the figure swayed and had actually jumped directly into the back of the truck!
