Everyone is Cultivating Immortals in the Wasteland, My Cave is Full of Goddesses

8: Bai Jie surrenders“Who are you… What do you want to do?”

Bai Jie’s tone was filled with wariness and fear. At this moment, her vision went black, and her stomach rumbled, having been hungry for two or three days, which was truly unbearable.

“I’m here to find supplies. It seems your luck is very bad; your birthplace is actually a desert…”

Li Ye’s eyes flickered slightly as he stared intently at Bai Jie’s front and said.

Bai Jie felt a surge of anger. If Li Ye acted recklessly, she might be finished, so she could only silently recite the Eternal Life Formula Cultivation Technique and circulate her Spiritual Qi.

She was now a Qi Refining First Layer Cultivator. Although she was starving, she wasn’t that easy to bully.

“Have you found anything around here? Or is this just a big desert?”

Li Ye asked curiously.

Seeing that Li Ye had no ill intent, Bai Jie relaxed a bit and said weakly:

“There’s only sand here, but sometimes I find some bugs and scorpions to eat…”

Bai Jie licked her dry lips, staring intently at Li Ye’s rather handsome face.

Li Ye had been eating and drinking well these past few days. Even if he couldn’t find food, he could rely on the abundant resources of stones and wood to exchange for it.

But Bai Jie couldn’t; she only had simple sand-made furniture.

“Do… do you have water? I’ve been thirsty for three or four days…”

Li Ye didn’t directly answer Bai Jie’s question but instead said coldly:

“Actually, you’re just afraid to go out. If you keep walking north, you’ll see the Withered Tree Forest. In the house in the Withered Tree Forest, you might be able to find water or food…”

Li Ye’s words were full of disdain. Bai Jie lowered her head upon hearing them, burying her face in her front… unable to see her toes…

These past few days, she had been seeing messages in the chat channel about people being eaten by Yao Beasts and demons, so she didn’t dare to go out at all.

She had been consuming herself these past few days… If she hadn’t been a Qi Refining First Layer Cultivator and had been constantly Cultivating, she might have died of thirst long ago.

Ordinary people would die of thirst if they didn’t drink water for three or four days.

However, yesterday she used a sand-made basin to collect a basin of urine, so she could still last a few more days…

“I… I’m afraid of dying… I’m afraid of encountering monsters…”

Bai Jie said sadly.

“Giving you water isn’t impossible, but it’s not free. You should know by now, in the Wasteland, there’s only luck and the law of the jungle.”

…

Bai Jie was speechless. Before her Transmigration, she was an excellent Chinese language teacher, still single to this day, but her round and graceful figure did resemble that of a young married woman.

People often say they like young girls who look like young married women, and also young married women who look like young girls; contrast is always the trump card!

The same went for Bai Jie; her career had been smooth sailing, but… one day, while teaching a class, she suddenly blacked out and was transported to this hellish place…

Perhaps on Blue Star, she was a respected teacher, but in the Wasteland, she was just a lamb to be slaughtered…

“What do you need to obtain…? I have nothing…”

Bai Jie didn’t dare to meet Li Ye’s gaze. She felt that Li Ye’s gaze on her was becoming increasingly abnormal, even carrying a hint of fervor…

“What do you think?”

Li Ye was not some so-called upright gentleman. Taking in Bai Jie would not only add another daily reward but also provide him with a beauty’s companionship.

However, it still required a condition of loyalty, which needed time to settle.

“You’re very thirsty now, aren’t you? Very hungry, aren’t you? I have a substance that can relieve this state for you. How about it, are you willing to come with me?”

Li Ye’s words were very explicit. Bai Jie hesitated for a while, struggling internally, but the devouring hunger and thirst, coupled with…

[Censored]

[Censored]

In this Wasteland, he was quite lonely and solitary by himself; having a woman would be even better…

…

An hour later, Li Ye got up feeling refreshed. Bai Jie’s eyes were unfocused, and tears flowed. Li Ye gave Bai Jie a piece of bread and a bottle of water.

“Don’t worry, I won’t treat you unfairly. As long as you’re willing to follow me and be loyal to me, I can give you a full meal every day.”

Bai Jie listened to Li Ye’s promise and eagerly drank the water and ate the bread.

It was simply delicious beyond compare…

Li Ye was willing to give her food every day, and she only needed to accompany him…

“Okay, I understand…”

“First, let me introduce myself. My name is Li Ye, Li as in the plum tree, Ye as in night.”

Hearing Li Ye’s name, Bai Jie’s pupils constricted. She coughed, her throat a little sore, and stammered:

“You… you are that Li Ye who received the global announcement?”

“It’s me.”

“I, my name is Bai Jie, Bai as in white, Jie as in clean. It’s actually you, you look so young…”

Bai Jie felt a surge of envy, then thought about it. This young man dared to venture into the desert alone, and he had great capital and strong power. Perhaps she could truly live a life where she ate and drank her fill every day…

[Ding! Bai Jie’s loyalty to you has reached 50. When loyalty reaches 90, you will gain a new daily reward.]

“Bai Jie… Could it be that you’re a Chinese language teacher? But this is your first time…?”

Remembering the novel he had read on a mysterious website earlier, Li Ye felt a strange sensation in his heart.

The two walked out of the desert, Li Ye planning to continue heading south.

They walked one in front of the other, Bai Jie’s hand tightly clutching Li Ye’s sleeve.

Seeing this, Li Ye directly took her hand, giving her a sense of security.

Subsequently, her loyalty reached 60.

After walking for about half an hour, a sand dune suddenly appeared before them.

From within the sand dune, a giant scorpion suddenly emerged. The scorpion was dark brown, its tail raised, revealing venom.

[Detected a First-Order Low Grade Sha Yao Scorpion. Males have long tails and small bodies. Females have short tails and large bodies. Their attack method is primarily with their tail stinger. Their weaknesses are the head and tail.]

“Step back a bit, this is a Sha Yao Scorpion.”

Li Ye held a Spiritual Axe in his left hand and a Spiritual Pickaxe in his right, coldly staring at the Yao Beast before him.

Bai Jie was too scared to move, but at Li Ye’s command, she quickly retreated.

“What would happen if I used Fireball Technique on it?”

Li Ye wondered curiously in his heart.

“Fireball Technique!”

Li Ye shouted loudly. At this moment, a small flame suddenly appeared on the Sha Yao Scorpion’s tail. Perhaps feeling the burning sensation, the Sha Yao Scorpion let out a furious cry.

“Hiss hiss hiss…!”

The Sha Yao Scorpion charged over. Following the System’s prompt, Li Ye smashed the Spiritual Pickaxe onto the Sha Yao Scorpion’s head.

Just as the latter was about to sting him, in the nick of time, Li Ye used the Spiritual Axe to chop off its tail!

The Sha Yao Scorpion instantly died!

Bai Jie looked completely bewildered.

Then, joy appeared in her heart.

In the Wasteland, the stronger her man was, the more secure she felt.

However… could she truly control such a powerful man by herself?

Bai Jie felt a little uneasy. Her proud beauty and figure seemed to be of little use in this Wasteland…

Beauties are everywhere, but strong individuals…

[Obtained First-Order Yao Beast Meat × 10]

[Obtained Sha Yao Scorpion Poison × 3]

[Obtained First-Order Yao Beast Blood × 10]

[Obtained Crude Sha Yao Scorpion Armor × 1]

“Sha Yao Scorpion Armor?”

Li Ye put away the blood, poison, and meat, then held the Sha Yao Scorpion Armor in his hand to examine it.

[Crude Sha Yao Scorpion Armor: Can withstand three attacks from First-Order Low Grade Yao Beasts/demons, or one attack from a First-Order Medium Grade Yao Beast/demon.]

“Sigh, so it’s a temporary defensive item. I thought it was a Spiritual Artifact like the Spiritual Axe. If it were a true defensive Spiritual Artifact, it wouldn’t only block three times. But it’s better than nothing.”

Li Ye looked at the Spiritual Artifact section in the survival manual.

He saw that besides the ordinary Spiritual Axe, Spiritual Pickaxe, and Spiritual Shovel, which were tools for survival, all other items were in the blacked-out section.

Li Ye tapped it.

[Ding! Requires a First-Order Spiritual Artifact Master to unlock the Human-Tier Complex Spiritual Artifact section.]

“Damn it…”

Li Ye could only give up. He put away the items and turned to look at Bai Jie, who at this moment had a somewhat fluctuating expression, seemingly deep in thought.

He directly pulled the beauty into his arms,

“What are you thinking about? Isn’t your husband strong? He killed that hateful Yao Beast with one strike.”

Li Ye’s words brought Bai Jie back to her senses. She wasn’t angry at Li Ye’s teasing, but rather quite pleased.

Although their relationship was merely a transactional one, Bai Jie felt care in Li Ye’s words.
