Upon hearing this, Huo Xian’er’s eyebrows raised.
What was this? Was he actually concerned about her?
As expected, it seemed she still had her charm.
A hint of joy flashed across Huo Xian’er’s face. Ye Ling’s sudden concern was quite pleasing to her.
“Um, Ye Ling, how about… we… we team up?”
After hesitating for a long time, Huo Xian’er finally voiced her thoughts.
This idea had come to her suddenly.
Judging by Ye Ling’s demeanor, he seemed to be doing quite well in this Secret Realm.
Although Huo Xian’er was strong herself and could easily last until tomorrow as long as she didn’t face a group of powerful demons, her Earth Azure Dragon was seriously injured and needed to return to the Spiritual Pet Seal to recuperate.
During this time, Huo Xian’er would have to rely on herself.
But in the Secret Realm, surviving alone without a spiritual pet was nearly impossible.
Thus, Huo Xian’er decided she wanted to follow Ye Ling.
After hearing Huo Xian’er’s words, Ye Ling paused slightly and frowned, clearly contemplating something.
If he took Huo Xian’er along, it meant he would be carrying a burden.
The Earth Azure Dragon’s injuries would require at least half a day of rest to move normally.
But leaving Huo Xian’er here would be ungentlemanly.
Yet, this was clearly a thankless task, and Ye Ling was reluctant to take it on.
So he hesitated.
He hesitated about whether he should team up with Huo Xian’er.
Seeing Ye Ling not answering her question for a long time, Huo Xian’er’s face stiffened.
She had thought Ye Ling would agree, but she didn’t get the answer she wanted.
Then again, Ye Ling didn’t owe her anything. Why would he take her along as a burden?
Thinking of this, Huo Xian’er couldn’t help but blush slightly.
She was a pampered young lady, so it was hard for her to change her mindset.
Now, to get someone’s help, she naturally had to offer something in return.
“Ye Ling, don’t worry. I’ll pay you accordingly. Until the first phase of the assessment ends tomorrow, I’ll give you 100,000 Federation Credit Points as compensation.”
Huo Xian’er offered a number with great confidence.
Given Ye Ling’s current situation, he indeed needed a lot of Federation Credit Points.
It wasn’t feasible to rely solely on himself to hunt demons for the evolution materials he needed.
Some evolution materials were only found in specific locations or dangerous areas, or came from certain dangerous demons.
Relying solely on oneself was indeed impractical.
At this time, the Federation’s trading platform was very useful.
On it, even some rare evolution materials could be found.
Of course, these rare evolution materials required more Federation Credit Points.
In the Federation, only Federation Credit Points were hard currency.
Of course, besides the Federation, Ye Ling didn’t know what else could be used as hard currency.
Those things could only be encountered after entering the Spirit Tamer Academy.
Faced with Huo Xian’er’s offer, Ye Ling was honestly tempted.
100,000 Federation Credit Points was a lot, and it was only for one day.
“Alright, I agree to your terms, 100,000 Federation Credit Points.”
Turning around, looking at Huo Xian’er up close, Ye Ling responded seriously.
Hearing Ye Ling agree so readily, Huo Xian’er nearly spat out blood.
What kind of person was this?!
He agreed so easily for 100,000 Federation Credit Points?
Was it necessary to be like this?
Doing this made her, the campus belle, feel very embarrassed! Did she have no charm?
However, despite her anger, Huo Xian’er had achieved her goal.
At least, Ye Ling was willing to team up with her.
So, for the remaining day, there shouldn’t be any major problems.
At this moment, Ye Ling directly extended his hand in front of Huo Xian’er.
Seeing this action, Huo Xian’er was clearly stunned, momentarily unable to react.
What did this mean?
Could it be… he wanted to hold her hand?
In this dark forest, with her Earth Azure Dragon injured, was Ye Ling trying to hold her hand to ensure her safety?
Thinking of this, Huo Xian’er’s face couldn’t help but turn red.
Lowering her head, she stammered.
“Ye Ling, isn’t this a bit inappropriate? We’re not that familiar yet, this…”
Hearing this, Ye Ling’s face darkened.
What the hell was this woman thinking? Wasn’t his gesture obvious enough?
Her imagination was truly unparalleled.
“A card, the 100,000 Federation Credit Points card, got it?”
As he spoke, Ye Ling made a hand gesture.
This was already very clear.
Only now did Huo Xian’er realize she had been overthinking.
His gesture was the classic sign for asking for money.
She had been overthinking it all along. Realizing this, Huo Xian’er couldn’t help but feel both angry and embarrassed, her face turning a mix of green and white.
