"Hong Yuan, from now on, as long as you say the word, no matter what it is, I, Luohu, will get it done properly and flawlessly for you. Just help me upgrade my treasures..."
However, faced with Luohu's earnest, pleading voice echoing in his mind,
Hong Yuan merely took a light sip of the Spirit Tea in his hand, then calmly glanced at Luohu.
Although Luohu still wore his usual domineering and cold expression,
a closer look revealed a trace of barely perceptible panic and weakness deep within his eyes.
Luohu was merely forcing himself to save face, doing his best not to show even the slightest sign of yielding or bowing his head.
Especially judging from the voice Luohu had transmitted into his mind,
Luohu's tone, attitude, and even his bearing had been lowered considerably.
There was even a hint of humility and pleading in his words.
It was so humble that Hong Yuan could scarcely believe the voice in his mind belonged to Luohu.
Hong Yuan then replied in his mind with a smile,
"Since you, Luohu, have put it that way, I am not such a stingy person. Like Yang Mei and the others, hand over your insights and a wisp of your origin, and I can help you upgrade any one treasure!"
Upon hearing this, Luohu was first delighted, but then he became somewhat hesitant.
"Um... Hong Yuan... can't you upgrade all three at once?!"
Hearing Luohu's shameless words, several dark lines immediately appeared across Hong Yuan's forehead.
"Three? Luohu, you actually have the nerve to say that? Do you have no shame at all?! Why not just have me refine the ten Chaos Spiritual Roots outside the hall into treasures for you?!"
"Is that okay?!"
"Get lost!"
Hong Yuan actually said that "get lost" aloud.
