The sage was determined to die.

"Is this what you used to register?"

Ji Bai held a very thin scale in his hand, which was almost as thin as a cicada's wing and shimmered in the sunlight.

Holding the item, he looked at the person in front of him with some suspicion, and couldn't help but say, "Just one piece?"

At this moment, Yan Ming was squatting to the side wiping his hands. The scene of disembowelment that he had imagined did not occur. After a brief exchange between the two, Yan Ming was still somewhat afraid, fearing that if he swung his claw, he would kill this young master.

result……

Even when Ji Bai was ready, Yan Ming scratched at the other person's body for a while as if he were picking at dead skin, and then peeled off a huge scale.

After having his scales removed, Wang Zhixuan appeared extremely weak. His already exhausted body was now barely breathing, and even his voice was very intermittent.

"This thing..." he said slowly, "is very precious..."

Ji Bai held the fragment in his hand, examined it for a long time, and then suddenly tapped it hard with his finger bone. Then, with a crack, it didn't break.

This made Wang Zhixuan tense up, and he stared at Ji Bai for a long time without saying a word.

"You..." He originally wanted to tell the other party to be careful, but before he could say it, he realized that he had already lost that right.

"Oh, so this is what it is. I thought it was something more unusual."

If it weren't for the fully armed hood, which was completely undecorated, Ji Bai's words would seem rather profound and unfathomable.

Another fragment, a fragment of literary heart.

Ji Bai originally wanted to take out a bigger one from his pocket to carry the rest, but he quickly dismissed the idea at the last minute.

He's so meticulously armed now; he can't let the details give him away easily.

Ji Bai coughed softly and said to him, "Is this all you have?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhixuan wasn't too surprised. He understood to some extent that someone who had fallen so low as to become a kidnapper was naturally dissatisfied.

However, daring to take things from the Wang family...

Wang Zhixuan skillfully concealed his inner thoughts, only coughing softly before saying, "This thing is very precious. Carrying it with you can at least protect you from several fatal wounds. It's the most precious thing I own."

"Oh, really?"

Ji Bai, with an air of nonchalance, reached up and picked at his ear, displaying a seasoned rogue's demeanor. "I've heard that rich people like you are the best at lying. Who knows if what you're saying is true or false?"

I'm truly fed up with these ignorant poor people.

Wang Zhixuan couldn't help but continue cursing inwardly, but fortunately, his face was so dark that his features were completely obscured.

However, before he could even speak, in his blurred vision, the person in front of him actually took the scale and walked towards the stinking skeleton.

After a while, the firelight rose again.

The stench of decay assaulted everyone's nostrils. Several people covered their mouths and noses, their faces contorted as they hid to the side. Only Wang Zhixuan lay alone on the ground, completely unable to move.

Ji Bai tossed the newly acquired fragments into the fire as if they were trash, leaving Wang Zhixuan speechless with astonishment.

Wang Zhixuan almost instinctively reached out to stop him: "No—"

Immediately afterwards, the fire, which was already burning fiercely, burned even more intensely.

"Ah, isn't it said that true gold is not afraid of being tested by fire?" Ji Bai said, "Is this probably a fake?"
