When Helian Hong was in his original world, his biological brother was the emperor, his father favored his brother, and his mother only had eyes for his brother.

But he was just a dissolute prince who had accomplished nothing, was greedy for money and lustful, and was neither good at literature nor martial arts.

Even the girl from a fourth-rank official's family that he liked didn't want to marry him.

But no one knows how difficult his life is. Does he want to make money?

If he wasn't greedy for money, how could he have money to spend? As a prince of a country, he had no extra source of money except for the monthly silver of 500 taels.

For a prince, five hundred taels is not enough to support his family and pay for social interactions.

After finally setting up a brothel to earn some money, everyone spread rumors that he was a lascivious person.

Even though the Queen Mother knew that the brothel belonged to him, she still often scolded him for spending too much and not knowing how to leave the money to his eldest brother so that he could bribe officials.

No one asked him how he supported his servants, and no one cared how he exchanged gifts.

It was said that he was neither good at literature nor martial arts. When he was a child, if he did better than his elder brother, his elder brother would ignore him for a long time and complain to the queen mother, who would punish him by making him kneel for a long time.

Therefore, he did not dare to learn better than his elder brother, and could only become an ignorant and playboy prince.

After coming here, he didn't want to go back at all.

He just wanted to be himself and never live for others again.

Although he did approach them with a purpose at the beginning, after getting to know them for a long time, he realized that these people were the ones he really wanted to make friends with.

I didn't expect to be excluded.

This reminded him of the days when he was looked down upon by everyone and ignored by all his loved ones.

His biggest wish before was that his family would pay attention to him, know what he liked to eat, understand his difficulties, and praise his achievements.

But for him, this is an unattainable dream.

Although it was very uncomfortable, Helian Hong still wanted to fight for it. He wanted to join these people.

The atmosphere between them was something he had never felt before.

Helian Hong stopped reminiscing, forced a smile and said, "Ling'er, why don't you invite me to join the team? I'm still pretty good at fighting."

Qu Ling'er shook her head and said, "We don't know you well, so let it go!"

Upon hearing this, Helian Hong quickly said, "But you can get to know me slowly! I want to join your team, and you saved me, and I haven't repaid you yet!"

Seeing Helian Hong looking at her aggrievedly, Qu Ling'er shuddered all over.

He's a grown man, why does he have such an expression? It's not like she abandoned him.

"I really would thank you, but I don't need your repayment. If you want to thank someone, then thank Master Bujie! It was his medicine and medical skills that saved you."

Seeing that this method didn't work, Helian Hong changed his approach.

"Then Ling'er, what if I say I like you and want to be with you forever? I want to accompany you and take care of you every day. I can do a lot of things for you. Even if I don't know how, I can learn. I..."

"Can you handle a beating? If you want to pursue me, you have to handle a beating first. Let's put it another way. You know whether you like me or not, and I know it too. Liking me isn't just something you say; it comes from the heart. You don't have to say these things just to join us, and you don't have to put yourself in a low position."

"Everyone is an independent individual, and everyone has their own shining points. Actually, you are a good person, but I don't know why you have trapped yourself and can't get out. I can feel that you are not a bad person, but that doesn't mean I like some of your actions, so I am sorry."

Qu Linger interrupted Helian Hong directly. Although Helian Hong had pursued Ning Manrou at first, then flattered Nie Fengjiao, and now seemed to be pursuing her, she could not feel a trace of sincerity from Helian Hong. He was always wary of everyone.

Helian Hong's whole body trembled, and there was a hint of sincere appreciation and warmth in his eyes when he looked at Qu Ling'er.

Unexpectedly, Qu Ling'er, who is usually careless, sees through him so clearly.

This made him feel more sincere towards Qu Ling'er, and he now really wanted to get to know this woman seriously.

Not for profit, not for survival.

Simply just to have someone who understands him.

However, he knew that he still had many shortcomings. He wanted to become a better person and get to know Qu Ling'er and these friends again.

Helian Hong put away the fake smile on his face, showed a genuine smile, and clasped his hands together towards everyone.

"My name is Ziyu. Thank you Ling'er and everyone for your care along the way. Thank you Ling'er for your kind advice. Now, let's say goodbye! See you next time. Ziyu will definitely become a better person. Ling'er, wait for me."

After saying this, he turned around and strode away. He was afraid to stay any longer, so he was reluctant to leave.

Everyone looked at Helian Hong thoughtfully as he left. He had clearly looked like a playboy before, careless about everything and wary of everyone.

Just now, they felt that there was a touch of truth, determination and seriousness in him.

Lan Mo watched Helian Hong leave seriously. He had a feeling that the next time they met, Helian Hong would definitely be a strong opponent.

It seems that he needs to increase his efforts, otherwise if Ling'er is really snatched away by Helian Hong, he might as well find a jellyfish to kill himself.

After packing up their belongings, they left the place in a hurry. After walking for a while, they couldn't see the beach at all. Qu Linger looked at the map and saw that they were still quite far away from the beach.

She planned to let Nuonuo send them away, while she wanted to stay and continue to plunder the resources on the island.

The more people there are in the team, the more supplies they consume.

Looking at the growing black dragon, Nie Fengjiao suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to ask if this was Qu Linger's new contracted pet?
