Mu Qian had just reached this point when Zhu Zhuqing was clearly tempted. But when she saw Xirui beside her, she couldn't help hesitating again.
"Everyone contributed. After absorbing this Spirit Bone, you and Xirui will both get a huge boost. I... I can't take it." After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Zhuqing still chose to refuse.
To her, their feelings were more precious than a Spirit Bone.
Mu Qian couldn't help laughing. He'd known his girl would say that.
He wasn't selfish. How could he have failed to consider Xirui?
Without this incredible support, they could still have killed the Flame Lion, but it certainly wouldn't have been so easy.
But before he could say anything, Xirui spoke first...
"Sister Zhuqing, giving you this Spirit Bone is the best choice. It'll improve our group's strength the most." The little girl spoke earnestly.
Mu Qian glanced at her in surprise. He hadn't expected her to take the initiative to turn down Zhu Zhuqing's generous offer.
He didn't believe for a second that Xirui didn't know the value of a Spirit Bone. No matter how innocent she was, she had to know that much.
Seeing the genuine smile on her face, Mu Qian's eyes filled with admiration.
Xirui was someone he could treat with all sincerity.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and sighed. "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted, but you contributed too. We're a team. I can't be the only one who benefits."
She could tell that Mu Qian cared deeply about the girl—not in that way, of course, but because he valued Xirui's terrifying talent.
So even if it was only for Mu Qian's sake, she didn't want the girl to feel disappointed.
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't budge, Xirui said with a playful grin, "Don't
