"Senior Sister Chen, let's be clear about this!" Shen Mo stated, full of righteous confidence. "Did I not save their lives? For such a great favor, asking for a few Spirit Stones and soul cores isn't excessive at all, is it? Once they pay the life-saving money, the debt is cleared, and no one owes anyone anything. As for the Elixir, that was just a minor favor. A minor favor is one thing, but not repaying a life-saving one can lead to troublesome entanglements with Cause and Effect..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mengze nodded thoughtfully. Indeed. In the cultivation world, enmities are hard to resolve, and favors are difficult to erase! The human heart and the ways of Heaven are both unpredictable. Minor grievances can escalate into life-and-death feuds, and a life-saving favor could potentially evolve into a fatal tribulation for oneself.
