Her tone was extremely firm, as if she had already made up her mind to reach a joint agreement with Chen Yang.

But Chen Yang frowned and asked in confusion.

"What kind of deal does Miss Li want to make with me?"

"Is it because I saved you before?"

Li Qingge shook his head.

"No, we just benefit each other. As for Master Chen saving me, I owe him a favor."

"But what happens next is something else."

"The place where you got the elixir from, you can find what I need."

"Those two dangerous places... Although I hate to admit it, it's easy for problems to arise if I rely solely on my own strength."

"So I'd like to invite you to come with me so we can look after each other. What do you think?"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows. Li Qingge's sudden enthusiasm caught him off guard.

Before, he was always giving him advice and was afraid of being at a disadvantage, so why did he suddenly change his mind and want to cooperate?

"Cooperation? Miss Li, are you kidding? We just met by chance, and you seem quite wary of me. Why are you suddenly thinking of cooperating with me now?"

Chen Yang looked at Li Qingge with a smile, a hint of ridicule in his tone.

After being exposed by Chen Yang, Li Qingge's pretty face turned slightly red and her eyes were a little evasive.

She coughed lightly, trying to hide her embarrassment, but the slightly red tips of her ears revealed her current mood.

"This..." Li Qingge hesitated for a long time before finally mustering up the courage to speak.

"I was wrong before. I mistook Master Chen for those lechers."

"It's just...it's just..."

"Just what?"

Chen Yang looked at her with interest. This little girl was really interesting. She looked so generous before, but now she became shy. She really had an awkward personality.

"It's just..." Li Qingge bit his lower lip and took a deep breath as if he had made some important decision.

"But I've seen Master Chen's strength before. I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to deal with those mutant spirit beasts alone..."

When he said this, Li Qingge's voice became lower and lower, and his head drooped lower and lower, almost buried in his clothes.

The eldest daughter of the Li family, a proud daughter of heaven, when has she ever been so humble?

However, after experiencing the previous fierce battle with the mutant spirit beast, the pride and confidence in Li Qingge's heart had been completely shattered.

She originally thought that as a favored girl from heaven and with her hard work in training, she was already a leader among her peers.

This is also why she did not bring any servants with her and came to the notorious Xuanling Mountain alone!

But it was not until she met Chen Yang that she understood what it meant that there are always people better than you.

When Chen Yang faced those ferocious mutated spirit beasts that left her almost helpless, she was able to handle them with ease and killed them with her sword while chatting and laughing.

This strength and means shocked Li Qingge, and at the same time, he also felt a little awe.

More importantly, Li Qingge knew in her heart that if Chen Yang had not come to her rescue, she would probably have died at the hands of those mutated spirit beasts today.

"So, you want me to be your bodyguard?" Chen Yang raised his eyebrows and immediately understood what Li Qingge was thinking.

With a sense of cherishing talent, he was about to agree, but seeing Li Qingge was even a little embarrassed to look up, he changed his tone.

It would be really boring if I didn't tease such an interesting little junior.

"No... I'm not a guard!" Li Qingge quickly waved her hands to deny it, her pretty face red as if bleeding.

"I just want to ask Master Chen for a helping hand. I, Li Qingge, am not someone who will go unrequited. Once the matter is accomplished, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

"Although my Li family is not a famous family, we do have some background."

"And if we go together this time, I will also help you find the medicinal herbs that Master Li needs."

Chen Yang touched his chin, pretending to be in deep thought, but he caught a glimpse of Li Qingge's expectant eyes from the corner of his eye, and secretly laughed in his heart at this little girl who was quite impatient.

"Since Miss Li said so, Chen naturally cannot refuse."

He deliberately prolonged his tone, and watched Li Qingge's expression change from anticipation to surprise, feeling amused.

"but……"

As soon as Chen Yang changed the subject, Li Qingge's heart instantly began to tighten again. How could this man be even more unpredictable than the fox spirit in the mountains?

"I have a habit of not wanting to do business at a loss."

Chen Yang's lips curled up in a playful arc.

Although Li Qingge was a bit arrogant, he was not stupid. He understood Chen Yang's meaning instantly and promised him right away.

"Don't worry, Master Chen. I, Li Qingge, always keep my word and will never go back on my promise of compensation."

"Also, if Mr. Chen has any interest in anything along the way, please feel free to ask. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse!"

"Hahaha, Miss Li is straightforward!" Chen Yang laughed loudly and pretended to be happy.

In fact, to him, these things are external things.

As long as he wants these things.

Putting aside other things, now you can go directly to any of the six holy places, except for any one in the Floating Light Holy Land, and you can choose any of them at random.

However, after the previous contact, he discovered that Li Qingge was an extremely cautious person.

If I act like I have no desires or demands, she will become suspicious.

The two then headed into the Xuanling Mountains, which was a truly dangerous place.

Even though he is incredibly powerful, he is only in the initial stage of foundation building. If the two of them become suspicious and distrustful of each other.

It is also a trouble for Chen Yang.

The two of them packed up briefly and headed towards the depths of the Xuanling Mountains.

Along the way, Chen Yang showed a calmness and sophistication that was inconsistent with his age.

He seemed to know the Xuanling Mountains very well and was always able to avoid hidden dangers in advance without Li Qingge noticing.

Neither swamp traps nor ferocious spirit beasts can get close.

This made Li Qingge admire Chen Yang even more, and the look he gave him was filled with curiosity and inquiry.

"Mr. Chen, how did you know there was danger there?"

Li Qingge pointed to a seemingly peaceful patch of grass in front of him and asked in confusion.

Just now, Chen Yang suddenly grabbed her, changed the direction of advance, and bypassed the grass.

"Miss Li, look carefully at the several spiritual herbs on the edge of the grass. The orientation of their petals is a bit strange." Chen Yang explained patiently.

Li Qingge followed Chen Yang's instructions and found that the petals of those spiritual herbs were not blooming towards the sun as usual.

Instead, it slightly converges inward, forming a strange arc.

"Is there...any problem with this?" Li Qingge was still a little confused.

"This magical herb is called the Ghost Face Flower, and it is extremely sensitive to changes in its surroundings."

"Once a living creature approaches, their petals will close and release a poisonous gas that is unstoppable unless one has reached the Golden Core stage."
