Chapter 882: Chapter 337: Mutual Efforts (6k)

"What? Someone has their eyes on me?"

Still in the depths of Benlang Star, with the new generation Portal Giant Tree unfinished, Bai Yi welcomed a special visitor.

"Yes, Your Highness, not long ago, a middleman suddenly contacted me.

This middleman is from Holy Paradise, due to having multiple channels and connections in various paradises, they often mediate tasks.

This time, the task he sent was to probe you.

Unfortunately, I was in the dungeon world and happened to be in combat, so I couldn’t reply at the time. By the time I inquired again, the task was already taken.

Afterward, I quickly left the dungeon world and came to the Starry Sky to notify you."

Blood Night roughly recounted the information and experiences he received, but naturally, it wasn’t that simple.

As a Contractor, leaving the task world early is not without cost.

Not mentioning the rewards and initial investment lost due to task failure.

Were it not for a prior agreement with Chaotic Paradise, the paradise punishment was waived, yet both leaving the world and coming to the Starry Sky still require special items.

But he’s no longer who he used to be; unlike other Contractors living for themselves, though still striving for growth, his current goal is for Bai Yi.

The cost is acceptable compared to delivering this news early.

Moreover, at the same time, the entity in the territory received similar news, originating from Fertile Paradise, confirming the task’s authenticity completely.

"Do you know whose task it is?"

After pondering for a while, Bai Yi turned to ask, but Blood Night only shook his head.

"That middleman is very good at secrecy, which is why various paradise powerhouses are willing to cooperate with him.

Secrecy about the client is definitely the most crucial information.

Without cooperation, the middleman cannot disclose more."

Actually, even the task Blood Night received was part of a previously signed contract; only due to the network’s presence could he bypass loopholes to inform Bai Yi.

Otherwise, even this message couldn’t be handed over.

"Tch, who could it be? Actually daring to probe my strength?

If they’re probing, they intend to act against me. Who could I have offended? Is it those two pharmacists?"

With the strength she displayed last time, even if not her full power, it was enough to deter most starry sky powerhouses; doing her harm requires both strength and motive.

In other words, firstly there must be some benefit, secondly whether they can defeat her.

Otherwise, acting against her, who holds fame in the starry sky, brings no profit and might even incur a notorious reputation.

Additionally, even if there are hidden motives to act against her, the ability to overcome her must be solved.

The latter implies either many enemies or overwhelming strength, while the former...

She truly can’t think of any benefit that could be attractive, only grievances seem possible.

With these filtering conditions combined, those that meet them are few.

Currently, in the starry sky, the only ones with grievances against her are the two pharmacists and the Martial Cultivation Association President.

Other possibilities exist, but they’re all Middle or Low-tier, incapable of hiring someone to probe her.

However, the Martial Cultivation Association holds a grudge against the Red Moon Church, unrelated to her.

Even for vengeance, they would act against the Red Moon Church instead of her; initiating action against her is unfounded.

"Considering this, those two pharmacists seem like the only ones.

Fine, I initially planned to spare you, but you’ve taken the initiative to come after me.

I thought you’d settle down for a while, yet just a few days later you’re already probing me, even hiring paradise Contractors...

Alright, alright, since you’re not being courteous!"

Bai Yi couldn’t help but chuckle in anger; her lack of action wasn’t due to her inability to defeat them!

It’s just that if she truly acted, the cost and gain would be minimal, she initially thought they’d yielded, leaving it for later.

But now, since they can’t hold back, then don’t blame her...

"Wait, Your Highness, there might be another possibility."

Blood Night hesitated for a moment, then reminded:

"Aside from the Starry Sky, there’s a possibility someone in the paradise has thoughts about you.

While in the Starry Sky, Your Highness is relatively harmless, at least currently harmless.

But don’t forget, Your reputation in the paradise isn’t small, and there’s the expeditionary army rampaging through various paradise worlds, further spreading Your name.

You haven’t paid attention to them, yet the havoc they caused in the paradise has become well-known.

Moreover, not to mention others, You’ve acted against Holy Paradise before, and the middleman also originates from Holy Paradise.

It’s possible that this time, the one wishing to act against You is Holy Paradise."

Upon Blood Night’s reminder, Bai Yi recalled encountering Holy Paradise during the conquest of a dungeon world.

However, it wasn’t her personal conquest but the action of her expeditionary army, and the appearance of Holy Paradise was in the army’s reports, unnoticed.
