"That won't be necessary."
To Qu Qingyao's surprise, Ye Li directly refused this astonishingly generous additional reward.
The reason was simple.
His cultivation realm was about to undergo another breakthrough.
Once he left this place, Ye Li would naturally put the cleansing of all major targets on the agenda.
Only the order would be somewhat different.
Since the other party's future cultivation resources would come from the Valley of the Heavenly Maidens, they would soon belong to him anyway.
There was truly no need to take them now.
On the contrary, it would make her feel that he was taking advantage of her, and Ye Li would not regard this as any sort of favor.
The Dao Comprehension Golden Pill, however, was a genuine offering.
If Qu Qingyao had not been waiting here all this time, he would most likely have obtained one less Golden Pill during this trip.
Correspondingly.
When he settled accounts with the Valley of the Heavenly Maidens, if she had not refined this Golden Pill, it would naturally return to him untouched.
But no matter what.
With her sincerity in surrendering having reached such a level, he should not turn a blind eye to it.
Moreover, her actions had indeed saved Ye Li a great deal of time.
Casting aside his tangled thoughts.
Ye Li spoke calmly.
"I don't need the precious medicine, but I'll accept this Dao Comprehension Golden Pill. Thank you."
At his words, a nearly imperceptible trace of relief flashed through Qu Qingyao's eyes.
She understood the meaning behind Ye Li's words and softly asked.
"So, you agree?"
"For now." Ye Li did not nail his words shut. "You may return and wait for news."
At last, an indescribable emotion flickered through Qu Qingyao's eyes.
It was somewhat like a weight being lifted
