Chapter 225: Directly Two-Star Favorability? A Bountiful Reward! Divine Object in Hand! Content originally comes from novel~fire~net
If it’s true, can I really agree?
And almost the moment this thought arose, Yu Hongxue panicked.
She wasn’t flustered by the request itself, but by why she hesitated and wavered.
This was something that was clearly meant to be outright refused.
In the past, she wouldn’t have even thought twice.
“What do you want me to do?” Taking a deep breath, Yu Hongxue slightly clenched her hands.
“Can we become friends?” Meng Changqing’s gaze was sincere.
“Huh?” Yu Hongxue was stunned.
This was completely different from what she had expected.
It was entirely outside her thinking!
“I mentioned during the Genius Battle that I wanted to be friends with you.” Meng Changqing stepped forward.
His voice was earnest.
Being so close made Yu Hongxue’s breath quicken slightly. She was genuinely confused, because Meng Changqing’s request went against her thoughts.
He just wanted to be friends with her, but she was overthinking things. She felt genuinely ashamed.
“Why do you want to be friends with me?” Trying to calm herself, Yu Hongxue asked.
To be honest, she found it strange. Becoming friends?
What kind of reward was that?
Even if she agreed, it could just be verbal!
After all, she was the young master of the Nine-Color Glazed Pavilion.
Her favors could surely be exchanged for something better.
“This…” Meng Changqing hesitated for a moment.
How should he say this?
As a proud genius, Yu Hongxue naturally had a high opinion of herself.
Saying something like, “You’re strong. I want to be friends,” seemed inappropriate, especially since it had angered her during the Genius Battle, causing her to turn and leave.
Looking back, that was indeed wrong.
How could he say someone was strong after crushing them?
That would only add insult to injury, a living humiliation.
But what else could he say?
Compared to him, there didn’t seem to be anything noteworthy about Yu Hongxue.
He felt a bit troubled.
As for wanting her Holy Martial Body, that was even less something he could say.
Thinking about it, Meng Changqing noticed Yu Hongxue’s expression and suddenly found an answer in his heart.
“Because you’re very… beautiful?” Meng Changqing said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Yu Hongxue froze. Then she suddenly looked down.
Her cheeks flushed red at a visible speed.
This kind of straightforward compliment was something she had never heard before!
In the sect, many male disciples had praised her, using much more elaborate language.
But she had never felt anything from those comments. It was simply boring.
But now, “because you’re very beautiful,” a simple six words, brought a flurry of emotions to her heart.
This was the first time in history that her heartbeat quickened.
“So, can we?” Seeing Yu Hongxue looking down and not speaking, Meng Changqing felt a bit speechless.
Isn’t it just a verbal agreement to a simple favor?
Is she being a bit petty?
“Yes.” Yu Hongxue lifted her head and responded softly.
But her beautiful eyes were like water, with an unusual gaze, completely different from her previous confident demeanor.
However, Meng Changqing’s attention was no longer on her.
The system’s voice sounded in his mind.
【Successfully added Yu Hongxue as a friend!】.
【Current Favorability: Two Stars!】.
【Attributes to be selected!】.
【Triggered extra reward: True Intent Enhancement Cards *3!】.
Directly two-star favorability.
This was quite rare, especially considering it was with Yu Hongxue, who had previously disliked him intensely.
Even if the addition succeeded, it should have only been one star.
Could it be that the system malfunctioned?
Forget it, it doesn’t matter. This is a good thing.
Two stars mean he could choose one more attribute to fuse.
Additionally, the extra rewards were quite generous!
Three True Intent Enhancement Cards!
Previously, they had only come one at a time.
When had three appeared together?
This wave of friendship was truly an unprecedented windfall.
“Best friends!” Meng Changqing was a bit excited and grabbed Yu Hongxue’s shoulders.
Yu Hongxue’s cheeks turned even redder.
She fiddled with her clothing, feeling a bit flustered.
She didn’t understand why Meng Changqing was so happy.
Was it just because he became friends with her?
Did that mean she was important to him?
In an instant, Yu Hongxue’s thoughts were racing.
“I need to find a place to fuse my attributes quickly, to instantly enhance my fist intent!” Meng Changqing thought to himself.
With his luck, three True Intent Cards could definitely push his fist intent to the tenth level!
At that point, he would have dual true intents at 100 percent!
They could fuse together!
Suddenly, Yu Hongxue’s complexion turned pale, clearly indicating her injuries were still severe, and she needed further treatment.
“There’s an island ahead/ I’ll take you there.” Meng Changqing continued to support Yu Hongxue.
“Mm-hmm.” Yu Hongxue nodded.
This time, inexplicably, she felt no resistance, either in her heart or physically.
Looking around, there was only one island. And the Blood Cloud Divine Vine was on this island.
Meng Changqing brought Yu Hongxue here.
Yu Hongxue sat cross-legged. She turned her back and closed her eyes.
The meaning was clear.
This divine object has nothing to do with me. You can take it yourself.
Meng Changqing also walked directly toward the Blood Cloud Divine Vine not far away.
He saw a huge rock wall, growing there was a blood-red vine.
It emitted a sweet fragrance.
Moreover, a rich divine light surged, making it look extremely sacred.
This was a key item that allowed death realm martial artists to step into the title of Marquis!
And now he finally saw it.
However, it was merely an ordinary divine object, not meeting his requirements.
There were array engravings on the rock wall.
This was a formation specifically targeting the Wild tribes and beasts, so even if the divine object matured, they couldn’t pick it.
But for the human race, it was completely ineffective, equivalent to nothing.
Meng Changqing drew out Crimson Sky and struck down near the root.
A half-meter-long section of the Blood Cloud Divine Vine instantly fell into his hand, and he then placed it into a jade box for preservation.
Divine objects could regenerate, so he must not harm the roots.
“First divine object, secured!” Meng Changqing looked at the jade box in his hand, his face showing satisfaction.
