Loot distribution—That really was the most pressing issue!And Zhou Dai wasn’t about to back down.She’d come to this island for the Holy Casket—it was her ticket into the Radiant Church.There was no way she’d give it up!After thinking for a while, she tried suggesting,“How about this? You could take on this vow quest with me.We could finish it together and both join the Radiant Chur—”But before she could finish, Yang Yi cut her off.“No. I don’t plan on joining any church.”Zhou Dai froze, unable to comprehend how someone could refuse the guidance of the Radiant Goddess.After several seconds, she offered another proposal.“Alright then.I don’t care about the other loot, but could you give me the Holy Casket and the Mind Devourer’s corpse?I’ll trade you something good for them.”Before Yang Yi could reply, Zhou Dai sent him several item details via private chat.Three rare items in total:White Rose — a rare revolver that fires silver bullets capable of suppressing regeneration and dispelling evil.Twilight Veil — a ship component that renders a stationary ship invisible.Sword of the Radiant Knight Commander — a rare longsword she’d gotten from a loot capsule off a fallen undead knight.After reading through the descriptions—especially the second item—Yang Yi’s breath caught.That was a damn good item.Ship invisibility would make exploration far easier.He’d no longer have to worry about hostile players raiding his ship while he was ashore.As for the trade, Yang Yi found it perfectly acceptable.He’d already intended to hand over the Holy Casket to Zhou Dai so she could deliver it to the Radiant Church.After all, his ship was a ghost ship—if the Church ever saw it, they’d probably try to purify him on the spot.Besides, both the Holy Casket and Roniette’s body bore holy seals that could be sensed by the Church’s forces nearby.How far that range extended, Yang Yi didn’t know—but carrying them was definitely like holding a burning coal.Better to let Zhou Dai take them.She’d be delivering them anyway, which would also fulfill Roniette’s last wish.As for using Roniette’s body in a capsule draw, Yang Yi never even considered it.He’d drunk that final cup with her—he wasn’t about to violate her remains.So Yang Yi decided to accept Zhou Dai’s offer.Of course, he couldn’t just agree right away—that’d seem too eager.After a bit of haggling, he reluctantly accepted, earning an extra 10,000 conch coins in the process.“Actually, the ship collapse—it was kind of my fault.I didn’t realize you were inside…” Yang Yi confessed his concern.“You can’t blame yourself!If you hadn’t killed that Mind Devourer, I’d have been eaten alive already!” Zhou Dai said quickly, brushing it aside.Yang Yi crouched down, preparing to free her.“By the way—I can’t see right now, so if I accidentally—”“This isn’t the time to worry about that!” Zhou Dai snapped anxiously.Her left ankle had already gone numb; all she wanted was to get out—fast.“Alright,” Yang Yi said seriously, getting to work.Under her direction, he squeezed through the wreckage into the narrowest space.Though blind, his sense of touch still worked—and he could tell her left ankle was crushed.Even if he moved the debris, that foot was unsalvageable.Worse, shifting things could destabilize the wreck and cause another collapse.After two seconds of silence, Yang Yi spoke.“Zhou Dai, I can save you—but the question is, do you trust me?”“You mean…”He nodded coldly. “Your ankle’s crushed beyond repair. There’s no saving it.”Zhou Dai stiffened, trembling slightly.She couldn’t see her own injury, so she’d been clinging to optimism—but reality was far worse than she’d imagined.After several seconds, she calmed down.The panic and fear faded quickly, replaced by steady composure.Even she was surprised by how fast she adjusted—as if losing a foot was no big deal.Maybe she’d just been through too much.Finally, she said in a firm voice,“Then cut it off. I can’t stay trapped here forever.”Her decisiveness surprised Yang Yi.He could tell she was a refined, well-kept woman with a striking figure.Yet this beautiful woman didn’t even hesitate to lose a foot—that kind of resolve… was stronger than his own.Yang Yi no longer dared underestimate her.Drawing the Sea Serpent’s Fang, he made a swift cut—severing her left ankle.Blood gushed out instantly.Without the trapped foot weighing her down, ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) the two quickly crawled out from the tilted wreckage.As soon as they were free, Zhou Dai pulled a vial of holy water from her bag, pouring it over the severed limb.Then she drank another vial and began bandaging the wound.Yang Yi stood aside, unable to help—he couldn’t see anyway.When she was done, sweat dotted her pale face.But strangely… losing the foot didn’t seem to faze her much.Even the pain was fading, as if her body had classified the injury as “minor.”Calmly, she finished dressing the wound.Then Yang Yi suddenly said,“Miss Zhou, I actually have a way to give you another foot—but I’m not sure you’d want it.”“What way?”“I know a restoration spell. I can attach a new foot for you.But since your old one’s crushed, we’d need a replacement.”Zhou Dai was taken aback—she hadn’t expected him to know healing magic. No wonder he was so capable.“You could try searching the wreckage.I once found a right foot before—maybe there’s a left one somewhere.Also, you’ll need some flesh for the spell to work.”“Flesh?”“Yeah.”Zhou Dai frowned, not understanding why healing magic would require flesh.Still, walking on one leg was hardly convenient.If she had a chance at recovery, she wasn’t about to pass it up.“Alright, help me down—I’ll look around.If you can heal me, I’ll even give you another ten thousand conch coins as a medical fee.”“No need,” Yang Yi refused.Because this restoration spell wasn’t exactly… pleasant.She might even prefer to amputate again afterward.“By the way,” he added, “there are corpses along the shore too, but they carry lycanthropy. Risky.”The two set off—Zhou Dai leading, Yang Yi supporting.Suddenly, warmth surged through his body.[You’ve received a blessing. Mind and body cleansed. Max Sanity +20, Max Stamina +20, duration: 2 hours.]It was Zhou Dai’s talent—she could bless others to boost their stats.But the effect caught Yang Yi off guard.Because while it raised his maximums, it also restored the corresponding values—snapping him out of his “madness” state.Pain shot through his left shoulder again, sharp and real.“How do you feel? Better, right?” Zhou Dai smiled.“It’s my talent—I can bless up to five people at once.”“Uh… yeah, I guess,” Yang Yi replied vaguely.Something about this woman just didn’t click with him.Zhou Dai searched the ruins, retrieving the Holy Casket from a thicket under Yang Yi’s guidance.Surprisingly, it could fit inside her storage bag.About ten minutes later, she found several sealed glass jars.Some were intact—like the heads of her five teammates.Others were damaged—like a slightly rotted right foot and a heap of mangled flesh.No left foot anywhere.“Does the flesh need to be fresh?” she asked.“No. But fresh works better.If it’s not fresh, use more of it,” Yang Yi said, unaware what she’d actually gathered.“Got it. This should be enough. What now?”“Attach the foot to the stump and align it.Put the flesh nearby.”She did as instructed, then told him she was ready.Yang Yi placed his hands over the wound and began casting Limb Restoration.Ancient runes surfaced, transforming into tiny spiders that stitched the limb to her body—weaving in the gathered flesh as well.A minute later, the spell ended.Zhou Dai’s left foot was “healed”—though it looked odd: it resembled a right foot, gray-green in color,with a cloudy, functionless eye embedded on the top.She tested it—and it worked perfectly.Though mismatched, the legs were the same length; walking felt balanced.The spell had reshaped everything neatly.She could even wiggle her toes—as if the new “left foot” were truly her own.The healing magic had surpassed 21st-century medicine.Zhou Dai was thrilled.Ugly or not, she realized she didn’t care much about appearance anymore.As long as her face was fine, who cared about a foot?It’d be inside a shoe anyway—no one would ever know.Without saying a word, she pulled out a pair of shoes and put them on.“Thank you. That spell was amazing!” Zhou Dai said sincerely.“As long as you’re satisfied,” Yang Yi replied.Since he couldn’t see, he never knew she now had two right feet…If he could have seen, he might’ve questioned her sanity.
