Chapter 2431: Chapter 1863: Dividing the Spoils (2-in-1) (Part 2)

"There is a suggestion, but..."

Yin Si glanced at Su Ran and chuckled, "After saying so much, my mouth is a bit dry."

"Uh... these Underworld Coins are for your thirst, can you speak now?"

Su Ran couldn’t help but roll his eyes. This merchant really lived up to his name, a professional through and through. Reluctantly, he pulled out a stack of Underworld Coins, about twenty notes. To get this advice, he had to be generous.

"As expected of a lord, you’re quite generous."

Satisfied, Yin Si pocketed the Underworld Coins. "Since you’re so sincere, I won’t keep you in suspense anymore."

"..."

Hearing Yin Si’s comments, Su Ran really wanted to retort. He didn’t want to be generous, but anything less wouldn’t satisfy this merchant’s appetite!

"Little Skeleton, I suggest you use this Innate Divine Nectar on the Guardian Beast, the Five-clawed Bone Dragon King."

After getting his reward, Yin Si shared his plan directly.

"That’s impossible. The Bone Dragon King is undead, and Innate Divine Nectar is a soul liquid of the God Race. Using it on the Bone Dragon King might harm it."

Su Ran immediately refused. As an undead, he knew well that using a standard potion would be akin to drinking poison, let alone Innate Divine Nectar.

Even if he were given a hundred lives, he wouldn’t dare to taste this Innate Divine Nectar. He wouldn’t risk an accident happening to the Five-clawed Bone Dragon King. This Innate Divine Nectar cannot be used on the Bone Dragon King!

"Little Skeleton, you’re not wrong, but you still don’t understand this Innate Divine Nectar."

Yin Si didn’t abandon the idea despite Su Ran’s refusal and continued, "The next question is crucial, and I hope you’ll answer honestly."

"What question?"

Su Ran sensed something off from Yin Si’s serious tone.

"Isn’t the Bone Dragon King originally not a Bone Dragon?"

"What do you mean?"

Su Ran was baffled. How could the Bone Dragon King not be a Bone Dragon? What kind of question was that?

"I mean, wasn’t this Bone Dragon King originally not from the Undead Clan?"

Yin Si looked up at the Beast King’s Coffin in the sky, with one hand behind his back, as though he had it all figured out.

"Wow, you’re really something. How did you know?"

Had Yin Si not mentioned it, Su Ran almost forgot how the Bone Dragon King came to be. Now that he thought about it, the Bone Dragon King’s current state was all because of him. He turned a perfectly fine Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s corpse into this half-living, half-dead creature. If the Bone Dragon King had a spirit watching, it would definitely come for him...

Well, let’s not think about that. The more he dwelled on it, the worse he felt. The Bone Dragon King had already become the Guardian Beast of the territory, a fact that couldn’t be changed even if it regained its past life memories.

Unless the territory fell, it couldn’t be freed. Other than that, there’s no other way!

"The undead aura on it isn’t strong; it doesn’t fit its identity. I can only assume this Bone Dragon King came to this path midway."

Yin Si turned to look at Su Ran, "Turning a Dragon King into a Bone Dragon and a Guardian Beast, you’re quite something."

"It’s a small feat; I’m embarrassed to admit it."

Su Ran grinned modestly, a bit puzzled, "But what does this mean? The Bone Dragon King is still undead, and it can’t use Innate Divine Nectar. I can’t take the risk. What if something happens to the Bone Dragon King? Where would I find such an impressive Guardian Beast?"

"Just hear me out."

Yin Si nodded slightly, "The value of Innate Divine Nectar doesn’t lie in the nectar, but in its innate aspect."

"How do you mean?"

Su Ran thought the merchant’s words were becoming more and more ridiculous. The nectar had ’Divine’ in its name, and it wasn’t valuable?

"Innate Divine Nectar strengthens the innate foundation; it can be seen as enhancing growth. If I’m not mistaken, this Bone Dragon King was likely from the Beast Clan in its previous life. It would be most suitable for it to use Innate Divine Nectar."

Seeing Su Ran in a daze, Yin Si continued, "The current state of the Bone Dragon King is very unstable, its aura chaotic. In its current state, it’s difficult to guard the territory. The Innate Divine Nectar should solve this issue."

No wonder!

After hearing Yin Si’s explanation, Su Ran suddenly understood. No wonder the Bone Dragon King didn’t show up during the territory battle before—it was facing troubles!

If not for Yin Si’s reminder, he would’ve remained in the dark, thinking the Bone Dragon King was slacking off. Who would’ve thought it was such a situation.

"Master Yin Si, how to proceed?"

"Open the coffin, pour in the Innate Divine Nectar, and then close the coffin. Do I really need to teach you something so simple? Use your brain."

"Uh..."

Su Ran wiped his sweat, reminded of an internet joke about fitting an elephant into a refrigerator in several steps...

Not hesitating anymore, he opened the stone jar, revealing the golden nectar, causing a visual intoxication that startled him, making him quickly avert his gaze. Holding the jar, he stepped into the air towards the Beast King’s Coffin, kicked open the lid, and without seeing the Bone Dragon King’s body, poured the Innate Divine Nectar inside.

He then closed the lid, opting not to witness it, letting the Bone Dragon King absorb it itself. It would eventually surface again.

Bidding farewell to the merchant Yin Si, Su Ran headed directly to the residence of the Ghost King, Drought Fiend. He initially wanted to visit the Evil Demon Sovereign, but reconsidered due to the cost, focusing instead on delivering the Netherworld Ghost Smoke to the Drought Fiend.

This time, he wasn’t going to hide it. He intended to hand it over openly to the Drought Fiend, to earn more favorability points and prevent any surprises. After all, this was a Ghost King, not an ordinary NPC. Better to max out the favorability points first; only then would there be no betrayal, just like with Dog Egg, and it would be securely in the bag.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Su Ran politely knocked on the door, and in less than three seconds, the door was violently flung open, startling him.

The Ghost King, Drought Fiend, stormed out angrily, but upon seeing Su Ran, its anger vanished in an instant, gazing at Su Ran affectionately. Its grapefruit-sized singular eye sent out a loving gaze, almost making Su Ran nauseous.

"Ahem, well, I’m here to give you a gift."

Su Ran, not daring to say more, got straight to the point, pulling out the jar of Netherworld Ghost Smoke. In front of the Drought Fiend, he unsealed the stone jar, revealing the swirling ghost smoke.

"Gah?!"

Upon seeing the Netherworld Ghost Smoke, the Ghost King’s single eye widened, shock, joy, and disbelief mixed in its gaze, its excitement evident.

"Thump, thump..."

The Ghost King’s heart beat intensely, hands trembling slightly. With difficulty, it shifted its gaze, eagerly looking at Su Ran, pointing at itself with a thick finger, almost unable to believe it was real.

"Take it; it’s all yours."

Su Ran chuckled, nodding. Though the Ghost King, Drought Fiend, was from the Ghost Clan, it was more genuine than anyone else, its thoughts plainly visible, not deceitful at all. Such a person could be a friend, but romance was out of the question.

"Gah!"

Excitedly, the Ghost King lunged at Su Ran, intending to embrace him and share its joy, but Su Ran didn’t cooperate, not giving it the chance.

Su Ran wiped the cold sweat off his head, thinking that with his size, he’d be crushed in the arms of this burly woman.

Seeing the Drought Fiend’s resentful gaze, Su Ran wanted to leave immediately, but since its favorability points hadn’t increased yet, he stood his ground and handed over the stone jar.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Skeleton Lord, your subordinate Ghost King Drought Fiend’s favorability has reached maximum value, never to betray."

The system prompt felt like a sigh of relief for Su Ran, completely dispelling any worries about Drought Fiend’s betrayal. Even if it regains its peak Ghost King powers, it won’t betray him.

Having said goodbye to the Ghost King, Su Ran returned to the altar, pulling out a Strange Demon Bone Cauldron and that long bone.

This bone was dropped by Green Cap, valued at 500 million gold coins!

Now, it’s time to do some bone refining!
