Chapter 292 How about we just chat?

“————”

A lonely air filled the hall of the base, and Chi Qian, who stood there in a daze, was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Every time he comes back, Chi Qian would stand here for a long time like this.

That was because she was not used to this deserted base, and more because she missed her past companions again and again.

Even though a year had passed, Chi Qian still hadn't gotten used to the desolation of this base, and hadn't gotten over the tragedy of that time. It was as if he could hear the laughter and wailing of his comrades again when he closed his eyes.

“Ahem.”

Suddenly, Chi Qian started coughing violently, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

His face quickly turned pale, making Chi Qian extremely painful. He quickly took out a bottle of alchemy potion from his waist bag and gulped it down without saying a word. Only then did the pain subside a little.

“Hoohoo.”

Chi Qian could only gasp for breath with a pale face, holding his chest, as if he might die at any time, showing his unusual fragility.

That feeling of fragility seemed so out of place with the capable and decisive image he had displayed throughout the day.

Chi Qian, however, didn't seem to care at all and just glanced at his wallet.

Inside, bottles of alchemical potions were stuffed together. Judging from their color and appearance, they should not be other kinds of alchemical potions, but the same kind of alchemical potion that Chi Qian had just drunk.

Chi Qian checked the alchemical potions and whispered after a while.

"If there are still so many, it should be able to last for a while, right?"

Chi Qian's whispers echoed in this lonely space, and should have gone unanswered.

However, the next second, a voice broke the lonely atmosphere and it was Chi Qian's response.

"I see. Not only is your appearance ruined and your hand broken, but you also have serious internal injuries. Do you need to take medicine every day to suppress the injuries?"

The sudden sound made Chi Qian's whole body tremble violently.

"who!?"

The paleness and fragility on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and Chi Qian regained his calm and capable appearance, even with a hint of coldness and anger, which made him turn around suddenly and look towards the source of the sound.

Upon seeing this, Chi Qian was stunned.

"It's you?" Chi Qian asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Hearing this, Su Ming, who appeared silently at the door of the cottage, leaned against the door edge and smiled.

"I told you, I'm curious about you, sister."

This is totally irrelevant to the question.

The surprise on Chi Qian's face was quickly replaced by indifference.

"I'll give you one chance to leave here by yourself."

Chi Qian gave the announcement coldly.

It was obvious that Su Ming's behavior of following here had already irritated the female legend.

In fact, Chi Qian already had enough reasons to punish Su Ming for his ungrateful behavior.

She is a senior professional, and a well-known and powerful one among them. She is not someone who can be easily offended by a lower-level professional, not to mention that Su Ming is just a young man who has just debuted.

Even in Tianfeng City, the status of senior professionals is extraordinary.

The dignity of a senior professional cannot be insulted. If a junior professional provokes a senior professional without knowing what is good for him, one can easily imagine what the outcome will be.

Chi Qian is not a good-tempered person, otherwise he would not have attacked the leader of a large team over a disagreement in the talent market.

But she was not a person who liked to bully the weak, or take advantage of the small and the weak. Because Su Ming was still young, weak, and had just debuted, she did not do anything to him.

But if Su Ming continues to be ungrateful, then it’s not her fault.

Thinking of this, Chi Qian exuded some aura, enveloping Su Ming.

The momentum was not strong, but it was enough to intimidate a young man who had just debuted like Su Ming and make him afraid.

But to Chi Qian's surprise, Su Ming was not afraid at all. Instead, he seemed to be completely unaware of the fierce aura Chi Qian exuded and looked calm.

"I just want to chat with you, sister. Is that okay?" Su Ming spread his hands and said, "Sis, you don't look like you have anything to do anyway, so how about we just chat?"

As he spoke, Su Ming also took out a bottle of wine.

"Look, I brought some wine with me, so that's not considered rude, right?"

Su Ming's words made Chi Qian frown.

Isn't that disrespectful?

If coming uninvited is not considered rude, then what is? Chi Qian really wanted Su Ming to leave quickly and stop pestering him here.

But Su Ming's method of taking out a bottle of wine out of thin air surprised Chi Qian a little, and he looked at Su Ming with a strange look.

Especially that bottle of wine. The bottle cap was not opened and the smell of wine did not come out, but for some reason, it made Chi Qian, who saw it, feel somewhat sweet, intoxicated, and longing.

That is definitely not an ordinary bottle of wine.

"Who are you?"

Chi Qian questioned with a frown on his face.

At this point, Chi Qian also noticed some unusual things.

How could a young man who had just debuted find this place and approach silently, appearing so close before she found him? A young man who had just debuted, taking things out of thin air, and holding a bottle of obviously valuable wine, is this normal? The most important thing is that in front of the aura that she deliberately exuded, Su Ming was still able to remain calm and even talk to her with ease.

If this is still normal, then what is wrong? The person in front of him is obviously not an ordinary person.

Chi Qian's vigilance, which had been relaxed due to the opponent's age and weak strength, finally rose again.

However, Su Ming still pretended not to see it.

"So I said, we should talk." Su Ming said: "If we have a good chat, you will understand me and I will understand yours, right?"

This time, Chi Qian was silent.

She looked at Su Ming coldly for a long time. The way she stared at him really put a lot of pressure on him.

After a while, Chi Qian withdrew his gaze and sighed.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Chi Qian compromised.

There was no way. Su Ming's performance was too mysterious, making Chi Qian feel unpredictable. If he acted rashly, Chi Qian had no confidence that he would get any good result.

Besides, Chi Qian didn’t want to take action here.

The layout, decoration, furniture and even every brick and tile here were all purchased by her former companions. Chi Qian has been trying her best to maintain the original state of the place since a year ago, so that it can remain as similar as it was when they were still here.

If we take action here, it will inevitably cause some damage, and may even cause this place to collapse and disintegrate completely.

This is not what Chi Qian wants to see.

The pool was shallow, so I had to compromise temporarily.

Su Ming walked into the small room on his own and sat at a table.

"We can talk about anything, life, experiences, the past, anything is fine."

As Su Ming spoke, he waved his hand, and plates of hot snacks appeared on the table.

This method shocked Chi Qian again, and his mystery and fear of Su Ming increased.

However, Chi Qian at least knew why Su Ming came.

"Don't beat around the bush. You just want me to join your team, don't you?" Chi Qian sat down in front of Su Ming and said, "I told you, bring me four drops of Dragon Demon Saliva, and my life will be yours. If you can't do it, then there's nothing to talk about."

This is the only thing Chi Qian would never compromise on.

"Don't be so absolute." Su Ming said indifferently: "You want the Dragon Demon Saliva, don't you want to do something with it?"

Su Ming uncorked the bottle in his hand and poured a glass of wine into the cup in front of Chi Qian.

Suddenly, the rich aroma of wine wafted out, making Chi Qian's nose twitch and a tingling feeling ran through his whole body.

The feeling was not uncomfortable, but rather very comfortable.

Chi Qian hasn't felt this kind of comfort for a long time.

Ever since he returned from a disastrous defeat a year ago and narrowly escaped death, Chi Qian not only had a disfigured face and a broken hand, he also had severe internal injuries that could not be fully healed no matter what kind of alchemical potion he used.

The alchemist she knew had also diagnosed her and told her that her injuries would be basically impossible to recover unless she used top-grade recovery potions.

However, top-grade recovery potions are precious items even in Tianfeng City and are not easy to obtain.

Chi Qian is able to get it, but that will inevitably consume a large amount of contribution points.

So, Chi Qian decided to give up treatment.

Because her contribution points must be used elsewhere and cannot be squandered by herself.

Therefore, over the past year, Chi Qian has only relied on long-term consumption of cheap alchemical potions that can suppress injuries to deal with the injuries in her body. Not only has this caused her injuries to recur from time to time, but she has also been suffering a certain degree of pain at all times over the past year.

As a result, just by smelling the aroma of wine, the pain caused by the injuries in the body seemed to be suppressed, making the body feel relaxed and comfortable for the first time in a long time, which surprised Chi Qian.

"What kind of wine is this?"

Chi Qian couldn't help but ask.

"It's just some medicinal wine." Su Ming curled his lips and smiled, "Can you tell me what you want to do with the Dragon Demon Saliva?"

Having said this, Su Ming did not give Chi Qian a chance to refuse to answer, and directly pushed the full wine glass in front of Chi Qian.

"This little bit of medicinal wine is your reward for asking questions."

Hearing this, Chi Qian, who really didn't want to answer Su Ming's question, paused.

Although the matter of Dragon Demon Saliva was not a secret that could not be revealed, it was her private matter. Chi Qian did not want to mention the pain in her heart to others if possible.

But Su Ming's bottle of medicinal wine was obviously not an ordinary thing, and it seemed to have a very significant effect on the injuries in his body.

Chi Qian was sure that as long as he drank a cup of such medicinal wine, the injuries in his body would be recovered by at least 30%.

If I could drink a little more, it wouldn't be a problem to recover more than half.

This made Chi Qian a little conflicted.

".You're not going to do anything to the wine, are you?"

Chi Qian still remained a little vigilant.

"Are you afraid that I will get you drunk and make you sign the contract in a daze?" Su Ming rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "This kind of illegal contract method, regardless of whether the contract itself recognizes it or not, the Professional Center will definitely not recognize this kind of contract. If it really comes to that, you can just report me directly to the Professional Center."

When the team was formed, the Professional Center asked Su Ming to read the regulations, which included a prohibition: "It is strictly forbidden to coerce others in the name of the team or to increase the number of team members by force."

If Su Ming used irregular means to subdue Chi Qian, the Professional Center would certainly not turn a blind eye.

“That’s right.”

Chi Qian thought about it and felt that it made sense.

At that moment, Chi Qian reached out and picked up the wine glass. After hesitating for a while, he finally drank the medicinal wine.

After drinking it, it was as if he had drunk a stream of clear spring water. Chi Qian shuddered all over and couldn't help but reveal a satisfied expression.

Under the effect of the medicinal wine, the injuries in the body showed signs of recovery, just as Chi Qian had expected.

The physical burden and pain that I had been enduring all along disappeared at this moment.

Chi Qian was marveling at the magic of this bottle of medicinal wine in his heart while looking at Su Ming.

"I want to use the dragon demon saliva to save people."

Chi Qian is also a decisive person. Once he makes a decision, he will execute it promptly.

So, Chi Qian, who drank the medicinal wine, finally mentioned this unknown secret.

"Save people?"

Su Ming's heart moved.

"That's right." Chi Qian lowered his eyes and murmured, "Save my former companions and former team members."

"They?" Su Ming was a little surprised.

Didn't Chi Qian's team members all die? "No." Chi Qian seemed to be able to see what Su Ming was thinking, and said self-deprecatingly: "I, the culprit, could barely save my life. They were so innocent and so lovely. How could fate bear to let them all suffer?"

Su Ming only found out after Chi Qian's explanation.

It turned out that a year ago, not only Chi Qian managed to survive, but several girls in her team also managed to survive.

This is also the reason why Chi Qian can persist in surviving.

Otherwise, because of his decision, the entire team would be destroyed, and he would be the only one who survived, with a disfigured face, a broken hand, and serious internal injuries. Even Chi Qian didn't know if he could withstand such a huge blow.

The motivation that keeps her alive is actually those survivors, those companions who have managed to survive like her.

However, although those people managed to save their lives, in reality they were no different from being dead.

Chi Qian was so seriously injured, how could those friends who were weaker than her not be injured at all? At that time, they were almost dying, just half a breath away.

Their injuries were much more serious than Chi Qian's. They were the kind of injuries that were completely fatal and could not be treated in a hurry.

In order to save them, Chi Qian, who was also seriously injured at the time, had to make a decision.

That is, freeze them all.
