Cao Xing pondered for a moment, not answering immediately.
Marita softly said, "Lord Cao Xing, are you worried that after you find the Moon Crown Treasure, we will take it from you for the Legendary Weapon?"
"Please don't worry about that. If one day you truly collect the complete Treasure Bead, I, Marita, can decide to give you that magic wand."
"I swear in the name of the Moon God!"
She raised her right hand and made the oath solemnly.
Then, Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Lady Marita, that's not what I meant."
"I just feel that this necklace is too valuable, far beyond the Golden Salmon, and you should keep it."
"Also, it's the necklace your mentor gave you, which is significant."
"You can just give me some Crowns instead."
Cao Xing was quite clear about what he should and shouldn't take.
Although the temptation of the Legendary Magic Wand was great,
in comparison, the goodwill of this distinguished lady of at least Sixth Tier was much more important.
