After saying that, she seemed to have guessed something and asked in surprise, "Could this have been done by Ao Cang?!"
But how could that be? Wasn't Ao Cang already severely injured before?
Upon hearing her mention Ao Cang, Lai Tan's sinister gaze became evident: "This time it was indeed our oversight. We didn't expect him to have a way to heal quickly, and I initially speculate that he must have found a stable believer."
"Believers?" Qiao Yingying was unfamiliar with this topic, her brows furrowing. "What does this have to do with believers? Can believers really have that much power?"
Lai Tan laughed, looking at her as if she were a fool.
"Have you forgotten Lao Tzu's other divine identity? Since he is a god, he naturally needs believers to exist. This is mainly due to the power of the believers' wishes to make offerings. This thing is also very useful to me."
At this point, Lai Tan looked at her seriously and said, "Now, the only person who can help me is you. If I can obtain enough willpower, I can recover most of my injuries, and then I will have more resources to fight against Ao Cang and the others."
Qiao Mei and Ao Cang's strength far exceeded Qiao Yingying's expectations.
Her biggest asset right now is Lai Tan, so of course she doesn't want him to become too weak.
"How can I help you? Is offering incense for you enough?"
Lai Tan was dumbfounded: "Offer incense? I'm not some kind of Buddha, why are you offering me incense! Offering some food or money should be enough."
Given Qiao Yingying's current wealth, Lai Tan knew she couldn't come up with much money, so he suggested she try some food first.
Currently, her home only contains fruit and some snacks.
She checked the interstellar encyclopedia and found that most people offered fruit as a sacrifice, so she tried apples and bananas first.
After offering the apples and bananas with their eyes closed, there was no reaction from the apples and bananas, nor from the bananas from the other side.
Seeing that Qiao Yingying was about to try a second time, he stopped her immediately.
"Wait a moment."
The young man's purple eyes held a complex emotion as he asked her, "You weren't offering sincerely just now, were you? There's a necessary condition for ordinary people to make offerings to gods: they must be sincere."
Qiao Yingying still harbored considerable resentment towards Lai Tan, so it was impossible for her to be sincere.
After an awkward silence, she pursed her lips and told the truth: "No, but I can't be sincere with you right now, you..."
Lai Tan interrupted her: "I have a way to ensure the success of the offering, but it requires your cooperation and a significant price to pay."
Although he hadn't been a deity for a long time, he still remembered one principle.
Those who become deities, and who are imbued with the aura of the deities, can guarantee a 100% success rate in their offerings.
However, this is something that Qiao Yingying would find difficult to accept.
He didn't intend to hide anything from her; he told her the truth and gave her the opportunity to choose for herself.
"If you agree, we can start now. If you don't agree, you'll just have to wait for me to recover. During this time, I won't be able to help you anymore."
In his last battle with Ao Cang, he had already sensed his intense killing intent.
He was almost certain that if he hadn't escaped in time, it would have been only a matter of time before he died there.
Qiao Yingying has made no progress in winning over Xu Heyu. Considering the possibility that Xu Heyu might be snatched away by Qiao Mei, she gritted her teeth and agreed.
"Okay, then I'll help you." She said it reluctantly, her back teeth almost grinding to powder, and her eyes reddened with fear. "But you have to promise me you won't tell anyone about this!"
Interstellar society already has surgery to repair body structures, so even if she lost her virginity, she could still have it repaired through surgery.
At most, we'll need to spend time silencing them later.
Lai Tan noticed her reluctance. Although he guessed why she had agreed, he still lowered his eyelids, staring intently at her with his purple eyes and asking in a self-destructive tone, "Is it because of Xu Heyu?"
She didn't say anything, but simply stood up from his arms and told him to go to bed.
Not answering is equivalent to answering.
Despite the excruciating pain, Lai Tan transformed his lower body into human legs, and after Qiao Yingying walked out, a bitter, mocking smile appeared on his lips.
"How did it become such a shameful state?"
Being led by the nose by a bad woman, yet still finding it sweet.
He got out of the bathtub, hypnotizing himself not to think about things that made him unhappy. He took a deep breath, went to the bedside, turned off the light, and reached out to touch Qiao Yingying's trembling body.
If he could, he wouldn't want to take this step with her so soon, but the situation is what it is, and he can only go along with it.
Lai Tan had long coveted Qiao Yingying, and when they were intimate, he didn't hold back, but did as he pleased.
No matter what Qiao Yingying said, he ignored it all.
.........
The next morning.
When Qiao Yingying endured her physical discomfort to make offerings for him again, just as Lai Tan had said, she succeeded on the first try.
However, because the offerings were not very good, the amount of spiritual power received was not much.
Lai Tan suggested that she try using Star Coins again.
"The offerings you receive are not enough to warrant my help, so I cannot help you with this matter."
Over the years, Qiao Yingying had accumulated some savings, and after thinking about it, she took out 100,000 interstellar coins to make an offering.
Before the offering began, Lai Tan unexpectedly discovered that a very faint layer of wish power was emerging around her body.
This kind of willpower, in the eyes of their gods, is called the primordial willpower, which can be generated on its own without any external conditions.
Generally, its appearance is predicated on the believer having begun to trust in the deity.
He thought he was seeing things, so he deliberately moved closer to her and touched her body with his hand.
If it's true, then in the next moment, he will be able to absorb the power of his original will.
The young man continued to reach forward, gently touching Qiao Yingying's shoulder where there were teeth marks. He then witnessed a faint wisp of golden willpower winding around his fingertips and seeping into his body.
Qiao Yingying was focused on counting interstellar coins and didn't notice his movements.
After counting, put your hands together, close your eyes, and begin to pray.
But perhaps because she didn't trust Lai Tan enough, of the 100,000 interstellar coins, only 10,000 disappeared, leaving 90,000.
Even so, the power of the 10,000 interstellar coins helped Laitan recover from some of his injuries.
The two thick tentacles, which were originally dripping blood, have now formed a shallow scar.
This shows that it is still useful.
Seeing this, Qiao Yingying breathed a deep sigh of relief: "Thank goodness it worked, otherwise if you continued to be so weak, who would I be able to rely on?"
She really disliked Lai Tan, and the only one who might help her after knowing her true colors was him.
Qiao Mei was unaware of these things. On Saturday, she went to Shang Duojin's house with Ao Cang, waiting to go to Yan Qing's house together.
