Chapter 387: Daybreak Flower; Rank 7 Ferocious Wolf

Yue Chenxi was stunned; Xiao Chen’s words left her stumped. When she thought about it carefully, this seemed to make sense. However, she felt that something was still wrong.

This person was too horrible. In the past, when Yue Chenxi needed help, she did not even need to ask, and a mult.i.tude of people would offer help; she would even pick who helped her.

However, this Xiao Chen…when Yue Chenxi took the initiative to ask for help, she may owe him a favor. Yet, he unexpectedly asked for benefits.

Favor…, When Yue Chenxi thought of this word, she finally realized what was wrong. She quickly said, “It can be considered as me owing you a favor. How is that taking advantage of you?!”

Seeing Yue Chenxi angry, Xiao Bai said timidly, “Elder Sister Yue, that was what Xiao Bai said, not Elder Brother Xiao Chen. Please don’t blame Elder Brother Xiao Chen.”

Yue Chenxi was stumped again. When she thought about it, Xiao Bai had really said it. Yet, she took out her anger on Xiao Chen.

Depressing…why does it feel like I’m always making a fuss out of nothing whenever I’m with this fellow? Yue Chenxi thought angrily in her heart.

Xiao Chen smiled gently and pulled Xiao Bai behind him. He smiled faintly, “Don’t blame yourself. Actually, I meant to say that, you managed to say it before I did.”

After that, before Yue Chenxi erupted in anger, Xiao Chen continued, “Don’t be angry. It is as you say; you owe me a favor. In that case, please explain it to me. Let me see whether your favor is worth the risk.”

Yue Chenxi said rather rudely, “You…! Why do I feel that talking to you is like talking business? You are like an unscrupulous businessperson.”

When Xiao Chen heard the word business, he got an epiphany.

If the world could really function like a business, everything dealt with fairly, gathering and parting in peace, Xiao Chen would feel that it would be pretty good.

Unfortunately, Xiao Chen had seen too much already. The nature of this world was one where the strong ate the weak. There was no fairness without strength.

“Never mind. You can say what you want. Tell me more details of how you want me to help,” Xiao Chen said indifferently after he collected his thoughts.

Yue Chenxi pondered for a while, organizing her words before sharing the details of the matter with Xiao Chen.

It turned out that, after Yue Chenxi had completed her experiential training in the Boundless Sea, she planned to return to the Great Jin Nation. However, she had unexpectedly run into Jin Wuji at the Green Wind Island.

Yue Chenxi had exchanged a few words with Jin Wuji at the previous Five Nation Youth Compet.i.tion. Hence, an exchange of greetings was inevitable.

When Jin Wiju first invited Yue Chenxi to the gathering at the restaurant, she was in a rush to go back. Furthermore, to her, this gathering was not a very high level.

The people who attended were not the peak geniuses of the various nations. On top of that, she did not have much of a friends.h.i.+p with Jin Wuji. So, she was not obliged to agree to come.

Yue Chenxi had also guessed that Jin Wuji wanted to use her ident.i.ty to increase his influence. As a result, it gave her more of a reason to not agree.

However, Jin Wuji gave her news about the Daybreak Flower being on Qianren Islan. As long as Yue Chenxi would willingly attend the gathering, he would tell her the rough location of the Daybreak Flower.

Yue Chenxi practiced the Morning Sun Fist Martial Technique; as a result, she needed to cultivate the corresponding Cultivation Technique, the Morning Sun Incantation. Furthermore, it was extremely difficult to improve this Morning Sun Incantation.

If Yue Chenxi had the support of the Daybreak Flower, she could increase the speed of her Cultivation Technique’s improvement. Furthermore, the effects of the Daybreak Flower were not temporarily but forever.

Xiao Chen looked around and asked suspiciously, “Thinking about it, the Daybreak Flower should have a Demonic Beast or Spirit Beast guarding it. That’s why you came to me for help. I believe Jin Wuji was very willing to help you; why do I not see him?”

Yue Chenxi said, “He was injured by the Black-Blooded Demonic Corpse earlier and left in a rush. He cannot even care for himself.”

Xiao Chen thought about it carefully. He did not consider it a major problem. He looked up and said, “This is not a major matter. Forget about owing me a favor; consider it payment for keeping the secret of what happened in the herb garden.”

Yue Chenxi smiled gently; she finally heard Xiao Chen say something agreeable. She was no longer angry. “In that case, follow me.”

Yue Chenxi led the group to the north side of Qianren Island.

Qianren Island was very large, as large as Green Wind Island. However, it was much more desolate.

Aside from the ruined palace, there were no other buildings on the island. Rocks littered the place; weeds could not even grow.

Suddenly, Yue Chenxi, who led the way, stopped. She beckoned the two to hide behind a huge rock.

Yue Chenxi poked her head out and pointed to a s.p.a.ce a thousand meters away. There was nothing but a ferocious, black wolf about ten meters tall.

“The Daybreak Flower is beside that wolf. Be careful; it has very strong perception,” Yue Chenxi said softly.

When Xiao Chen looked carefully, he did not see anything; there was nothing there.

Xiao Chen thought that Yue Chenxi brought him to the wrong place. So, he used his Spiritual Sense to scan the area around the wolf. However, the result seemed to be the same.

Xiao Chen could not help but look at Yue Chenxi suspiciously, “Why do I not see the Daybreak Flower?”
