68 Yings Determination. (1/2)
”I did not choose anyone.” Liu Lan replied.
”Then why are you trying to save him?” Ying still wasn't going to leave without getting what she wants but she was curious to hear why this famous princess wanted to save this pervert.
”I cannot share why, but I'm willing to trade in exchange for his life.” Liu slightly bowed her head as an assortment of items came from her storage ring.
Ying looked over the goods and was secretly impressed. You couldn't find pills like these for cheap. Bone Washing pills, Blood Refining pills, Skin Cleansing pills, and more that would cost her a small fortune if she tried to pay for them in the sect. It's too bad that she's certain that Fu Kang's secrets and mystic flame are worth more. None of this was tempting enough. It wasn't like she was going to give up Fu Kang even if she had better items to trade. She just would've took them and ran off with him before getting what she wanted.
”Got anything else?” Ying asked, unimpressed.
The shock on their faces was not hidden in the least. Liu Lan believed that this much would be enough to shock any regular cultivator in the Qi Gatherer stage. The average cultivator could grow in leaps and bounds if they took these pills and diligently cultivated. It isn't too much to say that Lan's pills were life changing for the untalented!
But Ying's talent wasn't horrible anymore! Ever since she got her sword, cultivation has become easier for her as time went on. She no longer struggled to get resources to break through, the impurities in her body were slowly filtered out because of her sword, and the quality of her qi was becoming purer. The longer she held onto her sword, the more her strength would rise. Anything those pills could do, her sword would eventually do even better.
”Ex-Excuse me?” Liu Lan was shocked that she refused her offer.
The pills she bargained with were made by herself! She knew they weren't perfect in quality but they definitely weren't something that could be refused! They were excellent quality pills that the average pill refiner would struggle to make. Even Elder Ru has praised her for her refining abilities, the top alchemist within the Golden Serpent Sect. Ying's rejection felt like it was spitting on all the hard work that Liu Lan has put into pill refining for the past several months.
”Those pills are trash. What else do you have to offer?” Ying didn't care about the pride of little miss princess. All she cared about was what she could gain from her.
”Senior, please don't joke... All of these pills are excellent grade, one level below perfect. There is no one that would not find a use for them.” She softly spat with her damaged pride.
”If I said they are trash, they are trash. Now hurry up and show what else you have on you.” Her words directly stabbed at the young lady's pride. The royal princess didn't even hide the pissed off look on her face.
'Oh, this is gonna be bad...' Fu Kang thought.
If Liu Lan wasn't here right now, he could use his Cube to escape this Violent Senior but he couldn't reveal his secret while she was here! If they were alone, he could think of something to distract the senior choking him and then make his escape. Maybe he could turn this situation into an advantage for himself. But first, he would have to get rid of Liu Lan.
”Fairy Liu! I'll be fine! Just go!” He spoke through choked breaths.
”I won't leave you here to die! You're the only one that can-” She quickly shut her mouth after realizing what she was about to say.
”How could I call myself the Greatest Under the Heavens Kang, if I couldn't handle a situation like this? Trust in me. I'll be fine.” In Liu Lan's eyes, he suddenly became a lot more handsome and manly after saying such things.
Ying punched him in the gut after hearing the sappy line. He coughed up blood from her beast-like strength. What was he trying to do, paint her as the bad guy? Is she the evil cultivator who's separating the two lovers for evil purposes? She just wanted his stuff! It was his own fault that he wasn't strong enough to protect it.
”I... I can't...” Liu struggled to say.
”Liu! Go! You're just a burden if you stay any longer!” Fu said harshly with blood sliding down his lips.
