Yu Tu stopped in his tracks, then turned around excitedly and exclaimed, "I do!"

"Huh?" Jiang Yuan looked puzzled, unaware that Yu Tu had already imagined countless scenarios to replace the conversation between the two.

"I..." Yu Tu was a little embarrassed by her own slip of the tongue. She said she was willing to simply go with the apostle, but her infatuated expression made it all the more intriguing.

"Since you're leaving, Miss Yu Tu, could you please settle the fare for the shared ride that took you into the ruins?"

Jiang Yuan reached out his hand towards Yu Tu.

"Carpooling fee???"

Yu Tu was completely stunned. She had thought that the apostle would fall madly in love with her, and she had also thought that he would calmly ask her to stay, but she really hadn't thought about the shared ride fare.

If you were to use a single idiom to describe the apostles, it would undoubtedly be "utterly insane"!

"What, you're not going to renege on your debt, are you?" Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Yu Tu suspiciously. This woman was all talk and no action; he really wasn't sure he could get the money from her.

Yu Tu's eyes darted around in a panic, and she quickly denied it, saying, "How could that be!"

"Do I look like the kind of person who'd owe you 1.26 yuan?"

"Stop! I didn't say one dollar and twenty-six cents!" Jiang Yuan began to calculate expressionlessly, and finally gave a rough figure, "More than 20,000 meters. Let's calculate at ten ninth-grade Holy Spirit Stones per thousand meters, round it down, and you give me two hundred ninth-grade Holy Spirit Stones and we'll be even!"

"Two hundred yuan?" Yu Tu immediately pouted.

"Using other treasures of equal value to pay off the debt is also acceptable!" Jiang Yuan thought that Yu Tu didn't have any Holy Spirit Stones, so he thoughtfully offered another solution.

Yu Tu hesitated, looking at the storage ring, but after a while she didn't take anything out of it. She said pitifully, "Big brother, actually I'm very poor. I've lived in an orphanage since I was little, and I'm all alone now. It's already extremely difficult for me to support myself. I don't have any savings!"

"Do you think I'd believe that?" Jiang Yuan was speechless. If it were true, he might sympathize with Yu Tu, but clearly, she had made it up.

"Although I have no money, I am innocent. How about I make do with this and pay off my debt?" Yu Tu tentatively probed Jiang Yuan, feigning reluctance.

"You really are wronged!" Jiang Yuan had no choice but to accept the weak and cowardly Yu Tu's act. "Fine, let's not make ourselves suffer. I don't want the Holy Spirit Stone. We're even now, and we'll never see each other again!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuan decisively turned and left.

"He's insane!"

Yu Tu stood there, overwhelmed with emotion. She hadn't expected that this scoundrel would reject her. And not only that, he actually felt wronged by taking her in. Was he even a man?

"No way! I've never been treated like this before. Today I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
