Although the surrounding demons had been cleared, Ye Ling didn’t start a fire for safety reasons.
Many animals fear fire, but demons do not.
Starting a fire in this Secret Realm would be like directly telling the demons that someone was here.
It would be a purely suicidal act.
Huo Xian’er knew this as well, so she didn’t bring it up.
“Ye Ling, how did you become so strong? Before, you were just a… just a…”
At the end of her sentence, Huo Xian’er couldn’t bring herself to say the last few words.
But it was easy to guess what she meant—she was probably going to say something like “a loser.”
Leaning against a tree with his eyes closed, Ye Ling seemed to ignore Huo Xian’er.
The night itself was dangerous, requiring constant vigilance.
Under such circumstances, getting a good rest was nearly impossible.
Ye Ling could only rest his eyes, trying not to fall asleep.
At a time like this, instead of resting, Huo Xian’er was trying to chat with him, which was really unnecessary.
Therefore, Ye Ling didn’t respond to her question.
Seeing Ye Ling’s indifferent attitude, Huo Xian’er’s cheeks puffed up slightly.
She, a beautiful young lady, had taken the initiative to chat with him, but he was ignoring her.
This… was simply infuriating!
However, Huo Xian’er didn’t give up.
“Ye Ling, we can’t sleep anyway, and we’ll be out of here tomorrow. Let’s chat.”
Sitting there doing nothing was extremely boring.
She couldn’t possibly talk to herself.
This time, Ye Ling finally opened his eyes.
Glancing at Huo Xian’er, Ye Ling finally spoke.
“Miss Huo, can’t you just rest? What’s there to talk about? It’s better to conserve your energy.”
Hearing Ye Ling finally respond, Huo Xian’er felt a surge of joy.
“Oh come on! You’ve already cleared out the nearby demons. There’s nothing to do anyway, so come sit next to me and chat.”
As she spoke, Huo Xian’er patted the empty spot beside her.
The long night stretched on, and she couldn’t sleep.
Without someone to talk to, Huo Xian’er felt she might go crazy.
Resting was important, but in this Secret Realm, one had to stay alert.
Otherwise, you might not even know how you died.
Seeing Ye Ling seemingly unmoved, Huo Xian’er felt deeply frustrated.
She had never been so frustrated in her life.
Indeed, growing up in the Huo family, Huo Xian’er had never suffered any setbacks and was very talented. She had never been this frustrated.
Biting her lip and puffing her cheeks slightly, Huo Xian’er spoke with a hint of anger.
“Ye Ling! Get over here right now!”
Ye Ling seemed too lazy to respond, not moving an inch or saying a word.
“Damn it! A grown man bullying a little woman.”
Clenching her fists tightly, Huo Xian’er muttered under her breath.
After a while, Huo Xian’er remembered how money-grubbing Ye Ling had been before.
A plan formed in her mind, and a sly smile appeared on her face.
She raised her right hand, showing five fingers.
“Hmph! Ye Ling, come chat with me, and I’ll give you five thousand Federation Credit Points.”
This time, Huo Xian’er was straightforward, stating her terms.
Getting five thousand Federation Credit Points just for chatting was like a pie falling from the sky. Who would refuse such an offer?
Especially when the person to chat with was a beautiful young lady.
Sure enough, upon hearing that he could get five thousand Federation Credit Points just for chatting, Ye Ling immediately opened his eyes.
His deep eyes stared straight at Huo Xian’er.
“Are you serious? Chatting with you will get me five thousand Federation Credit Points?”
Ye Ling’s first words were about the points, almost making Huo Xian’er explode with anger.
Why couldn’t this guy focus on the right thing?
Was it just about the five thousand points? Was it worth this reaction?
With a twitch of her eye and a few deep breaths to calm herself, Huo Xian’er finally spoke.
“Yes! That’s right, chatting with me will get you five thousand Federation Credit Points.”
As she said this, Huo Xian’er was practically gritting her teeth, almost wishing she could tear Ye Ling in half.
“Alright, let’s chat then.”
Not taking advantage of a good deal would be foolish.
Ye Ling understood this well.
And five thousand Federation Credit Points was no small amount.
For a Spirit Tamer, it might not be much.
But for a common person, it could be a month’s or even more than a month’s salary.
Getting it just for chatting was easy and enjoyable.
Standing up, he walked over and sat next to Huo Xian’er.
“What do you want to talk about? Just say it. I don’t know what you want to chat about.”
Leaning against the tree, Ye Ling crossed his arms and asked.
Since Huo Xian’er had brought it up, it was only natural for her to start the conversation.
