Chapter 243 Encountering a Girl
Shen Yunxi knew exactly what she was thinking, but at the moment she only wanted to find Shen Ruoning and Shen Ruoyu as soon as possible, and she really had no intention of teaming up with strangers, so she ignored her and continued walking forward.
She moved with light steps and quickly disappeared into the thick fog, leaving the girl alone in the same place, bewildered.
"Sister, wait!" The girl quickened her pace and almost ran to catch up with Shen Yunxi: "Since we've met, it must be fate. Let's walk together so we can look after each other."
In the thick fog, the girl's voice was slightly panting, clearly indicating that she had been chasing too fast.
Shen Yunxi stopped in her tracks, the mist swirling around her, making her appear even more aloof and ethereal. She said indifferently, "No need."
In her view, teaming up with strangers would only slow down her search for Yu Bao and Ning Bao, and would only be a burden.
The girl seemed surprised by the straightforward rejection. She paused for a moment, then said, "Why don't I need it? I'm a fifth-level Spirit Lord Soul Imprint Master. My companion soul spirit is a thousand-year-old tortoise with super strong defense. I'll be very useful to it!"
She tried to demonstrate her value in order to change Shen Yunxi's mind.
Her face flushed red, and she stole a glance at Shen Yunxi's cool and beautiful face before adding, "Besides, you're so beautiful, it's definitely not safe for you to walk alone. I can protect you."
Shen Yunxi found him incredibly noisy and impatiently released her own ninth-level Spirit Lord soul power, coldly saying, "So, do you still think I need your protection?"
A powerful pressure of soul force swept out instantly, and the girl was stunned by this powerful force. Her face turned pale instantly, and she realized how ridiculous her previous words had been.
She stood there, blushing at her earlier boast, and scratched her head awkwardly.
However, the young girl was clearly very adaptable. She quickly adjusted her emotions and immediately changed her mind, saying, "Sister, then...then you protect me! I am just a weak woman with low spiritual power. Just thinking about walking alone in this dangerous grove makes my back tremble. It's definitely not safe for me!"
She pretended to be scared, hugged her arms tightly, rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, and looked at Shen Yunxi with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Shen Yunxi glanced at her indifferently, her tone icy cold: "Do as you please. I don't need protection, nor do I want to protect anyone." She paused, then repeated herself, her tone even more forceful: "What I mean is, you go your way, I'll go mine. Don't follow me anymore."
The girl seemed startled by her cold attitude and paused for a moment, but quickly recovered and said, "No, sister! I'll give you spirit stones! Lots and lots of spirit stones!"
She pulled a handful of glittering spirit stones from her storage bag and presented them to Shen Yunxi like a treasure. "Look, these are all top-grade spirit stones. My family has plenty! Consider it hiring you to protect me, how about it?"
She looked at Shen Yunxi expectantly, hoping that she could be moved.
Shen Yunxi didn't even glance at the spirit stones, and simply uttered two words: "No need."
"So many!" the girl added eagerly. "As long as you protect me out of this misty forest, I'll give you as many spirit stones as you want!"
As she spoke, she took out more spirit stones from her storage bag until she couldn't hold them all in her hands. The spirit stones piled up into a small mountain, gleaming with an alluring light.
