Sophia truly did not want to cultivate with the Golden Sunflower and repeatedly expressed her disgust for the Church.
But it was not her decision to make. Feng Jun bluntly stated, "If you don't want the cultivation method, then giving you the Golden Sunflower is already more than enough to reward you for helping uncover the secret of the Holy Water."
If she wanted to cultivate, this was the method. If she did not, then there was nothing.
In the end, Sophia nodded reluctantly. She had no right to resist.
Then Feng Jun gave her a few instructions, hoping she would gather more information on the Church cultivators' practices. Once she had confirmed that the information gathering was complete, she could fly to Luo Hua to find him—she had to bring the Golden Sunflower.
Sophia fell silent for a while before speaking. "It would be much faster for you to come to me than for me to go to Xia Nation."
Feng Jun gave her a strange look. "Do you know what price has to be paid for that speed?"
"It must be priceless," Sophia said with a dazzling smile. Raising her hand, she wrapped her arms around his waist again and rested her face against his shoulder. "But for me, couldn't you do it? I can pay some compensation, as long as you name the price."
She was a smart woman. She knew that once someone had enough money, what they valued was not money itself. That was the true meaning of financial freedom—anything one did not want to do was priceless.
"Speak properly," Feng Jun said with a light cough. He knew she was somewhat uninhibited, so he simply ignored her teasing.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to get through customs with the Golden Sunflower," Sophia said
