"What?! A Special Lock?!"
Li Tianming roared at Lu Daoxing, "Why did you put a Special Lock on it for him?!"
"Didn't he give me some Vine Hearts before he left the Safe Zone..."
"So I added a Special Lock to his Storage Box as thanks."
Li Tianming beat his chest and stamped his feet. "How much could those few Vine Hearts be worth?! His Storage Box doesn't just have a Thunder Snow Wolf carcass in it. There must be other Titan Reed fragments in there too!!"
Lu Daoxing felt wronged too. "How was I supposed to know he'd get this rich in a single trip... Besides, you never told me not to add a Special Lock."
Li Tianming took two deep breaths, then put his kindly smile back on.
"Xiao Qin..."
"Get lost."
"Look at you, swearing again. That's not good. We all came to rescue you, after all. You shouldn't be so hostile toward us."
"I'm only hostile toward you."
"...Well, how many Titan Reed fragments do you have left? Gods only eat the inner leaves of Titan Reed, so all your fragments are inner leaves too, right?"
Qin Siyang lifted his chin. "What's it to you?"
Li Tianming rubbed his hands together and smiled. "I got a little worked up just now. With how close we are, we shouldn't let something this small sour our relationship."
The corners of Qin Siyang's mouth drooped. He had no desire to engage with Li Tianming.
Chang Tianxiong asked again, "Xiao Qin, did you see any living Titan Reed?"
Everyone looked at Qin Siyang.
Seeing their puzzled expressions, Qin Siyang let out another breath of relief.
It seemed none of them had passed through the site of his battle with the Corrosive Black Centipede, Ice Crystal Giant Moth, and Lava Crocodile.
