What a Sleepless City that never sleeps! They're so domineering, willing to kill at the slightest provocation! Qi Ling couldn't help but become interested in this organization.
"Thank you, brother, your words have been very helpful..." Qi Ling was about to thank the big man when she looked up and found that he had disappeared.
"What a strange thing, seeing a ghost in broad daylight?" Qi Ling scratched his head in confusion, then walked through the crowd, reached out and took a notice, stuffed it into his pocket and took it away.
After all, even though he was wealthy, no one would complain about having too many Soul Bone, right? Even if he couldn't use them himself, he could give them to others.
Just after Qi Ling left, two people, one tall and one short, suddenly appeared where he had been standing. The shorter one was completely shrouded in a cloak, while the taller one was none other than the burly man who had given Qi Ling his answer.
" Uncle Li, do you think that Qi Ling is really as amazing as Miss said?" the short man asked, his voice surprisingly melodious.
The burly man called Uncle Li had a sharp, capable look in his eyes, clearly indicating that he was not as simple as he had appeared before.
"I can't tell just how amazing he is. After all, he's still too young, and nobody can predict his future development," Uncle Li said thoughtfully. "But, there's one thing!"
"I sensed in him the qualities of a king!"
"Wang?" the girl exclaimed in surprise. "How could that be? Could it really be as Miss said, that he..."
"Hehe, only Miss herself knows!" Uncle Li laughed. "Miss is incredibly resourceful; how could we possibly fathom her plans? You shouldn't worry unnecessarily. Hurry up and go find that Twin-Tailed Money Rat."
" The Twin-Tailed Money Rat isn't so easy to find. We've gone to so much trouble, and all we know is that it's in this Star Dou Great Forest," the woman sighed. "But the Star Dou Great Forest is so vast; finding even a small Soul Beast isn't so simple."
"That's not necessarily true. Since Qi Ling and we are destined to meet, perhaps the opportunity lies with him," Uncle Li said with a mysterious smile.
Qi Ling continued her journey into the Star Dou Great Forest, then took out the notice and looked at the Soul Beast depicted on it with great curiosity.
This Soul Beast is quite recognizable; it's a very common Soul Beast, the Money Rat, except that it has two tails.
Although it's unknown what difference having an extra tail will make, the fact that someone is willing to pay the price of a Soul Bone for it means that its value is definitely above that.
"I wonder what it's used for. Could it be used for treasure hunting?" Qi Ling thought to herself, unaware that her casual thought had actually guessed the truth of the matter.
As Qi Ling was walking, she suddenly heard a noise above her head, followed by a dark figure falling from the sky and crashing down on Qi Ling.
"Holy crap, what kind of Hidden Weapon!" Qi Ling exclaimed in shock, quickly dodging to the side. But the dark Hidden Weapon turned out to be nothing more than a little girl who had fallen from the sky!
"Ouch! You fell and killed me! Why didn't you catch me?!" The little girl covered her bottom, glaring at Qi Ling through gritted teeth, as if she wanted to kill him with her eyes.
The girl's appearance was the most perfect Qi Ling had ever seen. She had a pair of bright, sparkling eyes, delicate features, cute, protruding ears, and a round face. She looked like a character who had jumped out of a comic book.
Qi Ling looked at the beautiful girl in front of her. She had such a pretty face, but she didn't seem to be very bright. How could she try to extort money after falling from the tree?
Adhering to the principle of avoiding trouble as much as possible, Qi Ling carefully bypassed the girl and continued forward. His intuition told him that this kind of girl who seemed to have fallen from the sky was most likely a source of trouble!
Seeing that Qi Ling ignored her, the little girl became even angrier. She stood up and chased after Qi Ling, saying, "Hey! How can you be so rude! I was still talking to you, why did you leave?"
"Miss, if you saw a stranger trying to extort money from you for no reason, wouldn't you immediately stay far away from her and leave the area as quickly as possible?" Qi Ling said helplessly.
"Fine, you dare call me someone of unknown origin! Nobody's ever said that to me before!" the little girl said unhappily. "I'm angry! You owe me! You owe me!"
"Compensate? Compensate for what?" Qi Ling asked, puzzled.
"Of course, I'll compensate you with a good mood for a day!" the little girl said. "When I'm in a bad mood, I'm unhappy, and when I'm unhappy, my skin looks bad, and when my skin looks bad, it doesn't look radiant, and when it doesn't look radiant, it just... Hey, wait for me!"
Qi Ling quickened her pace, muttering to herself, "Seriously, the world is full of wonders, but this is truly the first time I've ever seen someone trying to scam me like this!"
The two chased each other, one after the other, and Qi Ling managed to keep up with her all the way. No matter how fast she sped up, it seemed that Qi Ling could easily catch up with her.
This made Qi Ling feel strange. He knew that even Zhu Zhuqing, who was Agility Attack System, was ashamed of his current speed, but he was still slower than this little girl he had picked up on the roadside, which was a huge blow to him.
"Hey! I see you took the notice from town. Are you also here to look for the Twin-Tailed Money Rat?" the little girl asked Qi Ling. "Perfect, how about we team up and look for it together?"
"You've followed me all this way just for this purpose?" Qi Ling said helplessly. "With your skills, wouldn't it be more efficient for you to find it yourself?"
"Hehe, you found out." The little girl stuck out her tongue and said, "If I could find it myself, I would have gone to find it by myself long ago! It's precisely because I can't find it that I teamed up with you!"
"Huh? You can find it by teaming up with me? What kind of theory is that?" Qi Ling asked, puzzled.
The little girl smiled and said, "Of course, because we're destined to meet!"
"Tch, see if I believe you! You'd only fool those bookworms with that kind of talk!" Qi Ling scoffed, walking away as she spoke.
"Oh, don't you believe me? We really are destined to be together!" the little girl said. "My surname is Ye, the Ye of leaves, so you can call me Xiao Ye! What's your name?"
" Qi Ling," Qi Ling said, having no reason to hide his name.
"Hey! You answered me, so you agree?" Xiao Ye suddenly exclaimed happily, "Great! Then our team is officially formed, you can't go back on your word!"
"When did I agree..." Qi Ling was about to retort when she saw Xiao Ye smiling brightly and extending her palm towards her, as if she wanted to give her a high five.
To be honest, no man could resist such a lovely smile, so Qi Ling had no choice but to place his hand in hers.
