"You're tired; take a rest. Once we get the inner core, let's leave. The stench around here is unbearable." Qu Tan'er finished speaking, then glanced at the dazed Shangguan Lin and that girl, speaking with a cold expression, "You, owe a debt of gratitude. After all, we saved your life. Do us a favor, and we'll be even."
"Please tell me what to do, miss," Shangguan Lin politely said.
"Help me find its inner core."
"?! ..." That simple?
Shangguan Lin could hardly believe it.
Was his life really worth so little?
Nevertheless, Shangguan Lin complied.
He drew his longsword and, in about fifteen minutes, retrieved the inner core and presented it to Qu Tan'er.
Qu Tan'er examined it curiously. It somewhat resembled the one she had seen before. She presented it to Mo Liancheng like showing off a treasure, grinning, "Chengcheng, here. What you wanted. But what do you want to do with it?"
"When did I ever say I wanted it?"
"? ..." A crow flew by.
