Hell Emperor.

Chapter 358 Ye Jie - Raising Money
"Hidden virtue?... In order to save Sister He, of course we have to do our part. We will work together to find a way to do this. I wonder how much hidden virtue Brother Jie lacks?"

Hearing that Ye Jie lacked good karma, Yulan spoke up without hesitation, offering to help him out with good karma.

Ye Jie was a little embarrassed. He looked at the torn page and finally sighed, "I need a total of 100 million Yin De, and I'm still short of 33 million Yin De."

Everyone was shocked by the number that Ye Jie said. What Ye Jie lacked was not 3,300 Yin De, but the word "ten thousand" added at the end, which made a total of 33 million Yin De. Where could he get the money?
At the side, Hua Xiaomei seemed a little confused and couldn't help but say: "That's not right, Brother Jie, didn't I give you 100 million Yin De before? Why are you still short of 33 million?"

Hearing Hua Xiaomei mention this, Ye Jie held his forehead helplessly and said after some statistics: "It is true that you did give me 100 million Yin De, but I spent 10 million Yin De to modify your file, and 60 million Yin De to modify my own file. A total of 70 million was spent, and only 30 million is left. Killing the beast-shaped user brought me 37 million Yin De, adding up to 67 million. Aren't I still short of 33 million Yin De to reach 100 million?"

At the end, Ye Jie also had some doubts in his heart. It took 50 million Yin De to modify the Dragon Transformation to the Wuji stage, and 10 million Yin De to modify the Golden Cotton Soul Nourishing Technique to the Wanhua stage. 100 million Yin De seemed a lot, but in the blink of an eye, more than half of it was spent. If it weren't for the Yin De he got from killing the Beast Form Envoy, he didn't know where to get the huge difference.

After listening to Ye Jie's explanation, even Hua Xiaomei was dumbfounded for a moment. She had long known that being the Lord of Yama Palace would cost a lot, but spending 70 million in a short time was still beyond her imagination.

"Then...what should we do now?" Hua Xiaomei said with a bitter face.

Ye Jie was also in a dilemma. On the side, after learning that he lacked Yin De, the maids did not hesitate and made a plan. Soon, Fuling took out the remaining pages and transferred a large amount of Yin De to Ye Jie's account:

"These 5.3 million Yin De are all the savings of the maids. Now that Brother Jie needs it, just take it. I just hope that this Yin De can help Sister Shang He."

Ye Jie was stunned and looked up, only to see that the maids were all looking at him with hopeful eyes. The trust between them was self-evident. Even if they gave all the good deeds in the wine country to him, they would not complain at all.

Ye Jie's heart trembled. How could he refuse such kindness? The maids' kindness made the 5.3 million good deeds even heavier. He could only swear in his heart that he would never let them down.

"I still have 20,000 Yin De. Although it's not much, it's all the savings I've accumulated over the years as a ghost messenger... If it can help Sister He, feel free to take it."

Seeing this, Hua Xiaomei also took the initiative to speak up and gave the last bit of good karma she had to Ye Jie.

"And me! I also have 400,000 good karmas." Li Ba also spoke.

"Although I haven't done much good deeds, you should still use these two hundred thousand good deeds." Xie Xinyu said without hesitation.

After receiving the kindness from everyone, Ye Jie felt a warm feeling in his heart. What they gave to him was not only kindness, but also the trust that had already transcended life and death. Not all ghosts would give the last kindness in their hearts to others.

After hearing the news, Ren Changhong also showed a thoughtful look: "Yin De... I have been a Shura for many years, and I have earned a lot of Yin De."

As he spoke, the seven stitched pages suddenly trembled. Ye Jie looked carefully and saw that Ren Changhong had transferred a total of 9 million Yin De to him. The amount was so large that even Ye Jie's eyes widened. It turned out that Shura was indeed richer than ordinary ghosts.

"Is that enough? How much more is missing?"

After everyone pieced their money together, they finally managed to come up with a considerable amount of good karma. They immediately looked at Ye Jie with expectant eyes, hoping to hear good news from him.

However, Ye Jie's expression still did not improve: "I have almost collected 15 million Yin De, but I still lack 18 million Yin De to meet the gap I need..."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent. The fact that 15 million could be collected was already the result of everyone's efforts, but it was less than half. Where would the remaining 18 million merits be collected from?
Ren Changhong seemed to remember something and sighed, "This Frost Sword on me is a sixth-grade magic weapon. It has been with me for more than ten years. If I sell it, with the price of a sixth-grade magic weapon, I can get tens of millions of Yin De, which is enough to meet your needs."

Hearing that Ren Changhong was going to sell the sword, Ye Jie certainly disagreed and advised: "Don't do this. This Frost Sword is your most useful magic weapon. If you sell it, what will you use to fight in the future? Let me figure out a way to make up for the rest of these good deeds."

Not only Ye Jie, but everyone else also persuaded Ren Changhong to give up the idea of ​​selling the magic weapon. However, the shortfall of 18 million merits still seemed like a huge problem, standing in the way of everyone.

Ren Changhong reminded, "Oh, right, didn't the Earth Dragon King find the spiritual vein? The spiritual vein contains rich spiritual stones. If we can mine and mine them, the mere 18 million Yin De will not be a problem."

Ye Jie pondered and said, "That's right, but not only does it take time to dig up the spirit vein, it also takes time to exchange the spirit stones in the spirit vein for Yin De. With Nan Linghe's condition, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for that long. He has to be faster."

Hua Xiaomei seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "I remember that Su Miao and Yao Yin are both ghost fairies from the Nether Spirit Palace. The Nether Spirit Palace is very wealthy, so they should have a lot of good deeds, right?"

Hua Xiaomei's suggestion immediately gave Ye Jie inspiration. As she said, Su Miao and Yao Yin had both held important positions in the Nether Spirit Palace and must have done a lot of good deeds. Perhaps by borrowing some from them, he could make up for the shortfall.

Thinking of this, Ye Jie did not dare to hesitate, and immediately left the Qionglou painting and came to the two fairies Su Miao and Yao Yin who were chatting.

"What are you doing? I've already told you that if you can't gather all the ingredients for alchemy, Yao Yin can't save your companions."

Seeing Ye Jie coming, Su Miao stopped him with a vigilant look without waiting for Yao Yin to speak, with a hint of defensiveness in her eyes.

Ye Jie clasped his fists and said, "I have my own way to cure my companion's collapse, but now I lack the Yin De, so I can't carry out the method. If Fairy Miao Rou is willing to generously donate and lend me some Yin De, I will definitely repay you double in the future."

"Yin De? How much Yin De do you need?" Su Miao said with a sneer.

Ye Jie did not hesitate and told the truth: "I am currently short of 18 million Yin De. I wonder if Fairy Miao Rou has enough Yin De?" "18 million? Of course I have it, but why should I lend it to you?"

Su Miao's words made Ye Jie feel mixed emotions. It turned out that she had enough good karma, but judging from her expression, she was probably not willing to lend it to him at all.

Ye Jie had no choice but to persuade her: "My companion is suffering from collapse. It would be great for her if she can recover soon... Besides, I'm not asking you to give it to me for free. When the matter is settled, I will pay you back double."

However, Su Miao had no such intention at all. As a ghost fairy, she didn't care about the double reward mentioned by Ye Jie at all. Instead, she insisted:
"Speaking of which, the reason why Yao Yin and I were kicked out of the Nether Spirit Palace was all because of you. It's good enough that I didn't ask you for compensation. Now you actually want to borrow my kindness? Your face is really thicker than the city wall."

Ye Jie was helpless, but he had to ask her for help, so he said, "I wonder what Fairy Miaorou should do in order for her to lend me her Yin De?"

Su Miao thought for a moment, then said, "First, you have to take me to see the Golden Wheel, which contains the secrets of the King Kong City ruins. In addition, double repayment is also essential. Who made you promise that?"

Ye Jie nodded. If it was just like this, he could certainly accept it. However, Su Miao's next words made his heart sink: "In the end, you must beg me humbly and until I am satisfied, I will lend you Yin De!"

Ye Jie was a little embarrassed and said, "The first few items are easy to deal with, but what if you are not satisfied? How long do I have to beg you?"

Su Miao snorted coldly: "If you are not sincere, then keep begging. God knows when I will change my mind?"

Hearing this, Ye Jie couldn't help shaking his head. Su Miao's words clearly showed that she was still angry about the previous actions of the Nether Spirit Palace and would definitely not lend her good karma to him easily.

After learning about Su Miao's conditions, even Xia Wei couldn't bear to listen anymore and pouted, "Master, don't beg her. I must have done a lot of good deeds in my previous life, right? Can't I give it to you?"

Ye Jie patted Xia Wei's head, somewhat helplessly: "I appreciate your kindness, but only ghosts can trade Yin De, living people can't trade. Even if you have a lot of Yin De in your previous life, you can't use it."

After a pause, Ye Jie had no choice but to find another way. He sighed and said, "This is bad... Lacking this part of Yinde, I can only give it a try reluctantly. There is no guarantee that I can cure Nan Linghe. If it not only fails, but makes her condition worse, that would be really bad..."

Just as Ye Jie was hesitating, Hua Xiaomei suggested again, "By the way, Brother Jie, the 100 million Yin De I gave you before was the reward for defeating the Lord of Guangwang Palace. When the Li Tang ghosts took out the 100 million Yin De, they were quite generous. Now that you have become the Lord of the Palace, maybe you can borrow some from them?"

Ye Jie nodded. It was a loan anyway, and he didn't have to borrow from Su Miao. He could also borrow from his former friends who had fought side by side with him. Now that Ye Jie had become the hall master, he thought there would be many people willing to lend him money.

Xie Xinyu was a little skeptical and asked, "We have been walking for so long now, we are no longer in the Southern Continent, but in the Eastern Continent. Will we have enough time to go back and borrow from them?"

Ye Jie had expected this: "Don't worry, as long as I build a teleportation array in the Yama Palace, I can connect to other Yama Palaces and quickly move to other continents. Of course, there will be enough time."

After hearing Ye Jie's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief as if they had found an antidote, except Su Miao, who raised her eyebrows and didn't believe it at all:
"From what you said, the Golden Wheel Palace hasn't repaired the teleportation array yet? The construction of the teleportation array is a tiring job. Even if you find a large group of skilled array masters, they will have to test the teleportation path over and over again, and constantly improve the errors in the process before the teleportation array can be completed. If it is fast, it will take at least several years, and if it is slow, it may take decades to repair. By the time you repair the teleportation array, your companions will have long since given up. I advise you to beg me while I am in a good mood!"

In response, Ye Jie simply said: "I can handle this matter myself, so I won't bother Fairy Miao Rou."

"you……"

Su Miao crossed her arms. She didn't expect Ye Jie to beg her at all. She had originally planned that as long as Ye Jie begged her for a while, she would agree. However, she never thought that Ye Jie would not play by the rules at all. She snorted coldly:
"Well, I'll go to the Golden Wheel Palace and see how long you can hold out! When your companions are about to die, you'll have no choice but to beg me!"

Before leaving, Ye Jie's eyes also stopped at Xia Wei, who had been concerned about him, and reminded her: "Xiao Wei, I will go back to the Golden Wheel Palace with the others first. I will come back to find you after I have cured the collapse of Nan Linghe's body."

Xia Wei nodded. Although she really wanted to stay by her master's side and although she still had many things to say to her master, Nan Linghe's injuries could not be delayed. If she continued to delay, she would most likely fall into an irretrievable situation. She had to be healed as soon as possible.

"Master, I'll wait for you to come back." Xia Wei said softly.

As they were about to part, Li Fei'e also felt a little reluctant: "Thanks to Brother Jie, I was able to get rid of the beast-shaped poison... I didn't expect that we would be separated again just after meeting. In this case..."

As he spoke, Li Fei'e pointed with his hand, and a purple butterfly flew up and landed steadily on Ye Jie's shoulder: "Let Youdie go with you. I can't go to the underworld, so I can only let Youdie go for me. She will tell me everything she sees along the way."

The ghost butterfly obediently landed on Ye Jie's shoulder, adding a different kind of charm to him. Of course, Ye Jie would not refuse this.

As Ye Jie slowly practiced his skills, a light flashed on the body of the butterfly, and it turned into a wandering light spot. When the light died down, the original butterfly was no longer there, and instead, there was a petite girl who was as delicate as a piece of jade. The girl was only the size of a palm, but she looked exactly like Li Fei'e, as if they were carved from the same mold.

Looking at the miniature girl transformed by the ghost butterfly, even Xia Wei's eyes widened. She had heard from Ren Changhong and Su Miao that the master could transform the ghost butterfly into a star-moon exquisite moth. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she realized that the star-moon exquisite moth was even cuter than she had imagined:
"Is that... the dark spirit magic weapon that Master transformed the Phantom Butterfly into?"

Ye Jie took out the Earth-Shrinking Stone from his arms and handed it to the people around him. He couldn't help but look at Su Miao who was eager to try and prepare to go with him. He hesitated and said, "Are you going to the Golden Wheel Palace too? This Earth-Shrinking Stone can only be used by ghosts of the fifth level of the Sealed Immortal Realm and below. You have already ascended to the Ghost Immortal Realm, so I'm afraid you can't use it."

"Tsk... I know that without you telling me." Facing Ye Jie's kind reminder, Su Miao just replied unhappily, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not going to help you. I'm just going to see how wrong you are."
