As soon as the words left his mouth, Qin Luo felt a little nervous.
You should know that in the previous simulation, Dan Bingli's cold personality had left a deep impression on him.
The purpose of this inquiry was mainly to test the extent of the importance of the Primordial Bloodline Stone to Dan Bingli, and whether it could motivate her to constantly push her own limits in order to achieve her desired outcome.
After all, he knew that the Primordial Bloodline Stone obtained at the auction wouldn't awaken Dan Bingli's Primordial Ice Emperor bloodline...
Upon hearing Qin Luo's question, Dan Bingli was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected Qin Luo to suddenly ask about her name.
She looked up at Qin Luo, a hint of surprise flashing in her light blue eyes, before her expression returned to its usual cool and aloofness.
If she had been calm and composed before, she might have secretly pondered Qin Luo's intentions. Was he simply curious about her name in order to consider the matter of the stone, or did he have other plans?
At this moment, however, her mind was completely focused on the ancient bloodline stone in his hand, and she had no time to ponder Qin Luo's thoughts.
After a moment of silence, Dan Bingli parted her lips slightly and coldly uttered three words:
"Danbingli".
Her voice remained cold and devoid of warmth, but Qin Luo keenly noticed that the moment she uttered her name, her gaze unconsciously drifted to the ancient bloodline stone in her hand, a fleeting glint of longing in her eyes.
"It seems this Primordial Bloodline Stone is indeed extremely important to her bloodline. No wonder she looked so devastated when we met again after she accepted the stone in the simulation. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. But that suits me just the way it is..."
Qin Luo thought to himself with secret delight, but his face remained impassive as he nodded slightly.
"The name 'Dan' is quite elegant, like ice and glass, which complements the girl's temperament perfectly."
As he spoke, he subtly observed Dan Bingli's expression. Seeing that she did not show any obvious dislike, he felt somewhat relieved.
Then, gently playing with the ancient bloodline stone in his hand, he slowly said:
“Miss Dan, I paid a considerable price to acquire this stone. Now that you are so eager for it, I am willing to grant your wish, but the ownership of such an item is no small matter, and I need to consider it carefully.”
Upon hearing this, Dan Bingli's heart tightened immediately, thinking that Qin Luo was subtly rejecting her, and the expectation in her eyes was instantly replaced by deep disappointment.
His throat tightened, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he only opened his mouth and said nothing. Then he slowly lowered his head, turned around, and left.
Qin Luo was stunned by this scene, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised:
"No? Is this girl really that stubborn? Shouldn't we try to persuade her again?"
He had thought that Dan Bingli would continue to fight for it so that he could gain more initiative, but he did not expect that she would turn around and leave so decisively, completely losing the determination she had shown earlier in order to get the Primordial Bloodline Stone.
Thinking of this, Qin Luo finally dared not proceed slowly any longer, fearing that he might accidentally mess things up, and immediately shouted:
"Miss Dan, please wait!"
Dan Bingli stopped in her tracks, turned around in confusion, wondering why Qin Luo had called her back.
Her originally aloof face now bore an undisguised sense of loneliness and dejection. Her light blue eyes gazed silently at Qin Luo, waiting for his next words, but she did not utter a single question.
Seeing this, Qin Luo looked at her and said:
"Miss Dan, do you perhaps think that what I just said was an attempt to refuse your request?"
Dan Bingli paused slightly, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes again, and said softly:
"That?"
Seeing the expectation and trepidation in her eyes, Qin Luo dared not go too far and said in a deep voice:
“As Miss Dan knows, I used five drops of Origin Spirit Liquid to bid for this stone at the auction. If we convert these five drops of Origin Spirit Liquid into spirit value according to the conversion of the Spirit Abyss Sect, then it would be five million spirit value.”
"Since Miss Dan is interested in this stone, I, Qin, am willing to suffer a small loss today to establish a good relationship with you and exchange this item for it."
Upon hearing this, Dan Bingli was overjoyed, and a glimmer of light flashed in her previously dim eyes.
But before this joy could spread in her heart, she immediately felt uneasy again. She simply couldn't come up with that many spirit points right now. Even if Qin Luo said he was willing to suffer a small loss, how could the difference of five million spirit points be easily made up?
She stood there with her head bowed, hesitating for a long time before finally mustering all her courage. Her voice was so weak it was almost inaudible, yet it carried a resolute determination, as she softly uttered a few words:
Can I...buy on credit?
After saying that, she dared not look up at Qin Luo again, staring intently at the ground beneath her feet, her heart filled with unease.
Seeing this, Qin Luo's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, then he said with a wry smile:
"Miss Dan, are you trying to make things difficult for me? This idea of buying on credit is really putting me in a bit of a bind."
Dan Bingli's heart sank to its lowest point. The glimmer of hope that had just been ignited was instantly extinguished. Even with her usually calm demeanor, she felt somewhat embarrassed and wished she could disappear into the ground.
His abrupt request was indeed excessive. The other party wasn't stupid, and they had no connection with him whatsoever. Why should they agree to let him take this valuable Ancient Bloodline Stone on credit?
She pursed her lips, wanting to say something to salvage the awkward situation, but didn't know where to begin, so she could only keep her head down and stand there silently.
However, just as Dan Bingli was filled with despair, Qin Luo's voice rang out again:
"but......"
Upon hearing the words "only two words," Dan Bingli's heart clenched. She subconsciously raised her head and stared intently at Qin Luo, waiting for his next words, as if a drowning person was desperately grasping at the last straw.
Looking at her like this, Qin Luo sighed softly and said slowly:
"However, since I have already resolved to forge this good relationship with Miss Dan, how could I give up because of this temporary difficulty? Offering to pay on credit is not impossible, but..."
At this point, Qin Luo deliberately paused, looked at Dan Bingli, and continued:
"But I have two requests. I wonder if Miss Dan would be willing to accept them?"
Upon hearing Qin Luo's words, a hint of wariness flashed in Dan Bingli's eyes. She knew there was no such thing as a free lunch; Qin Luo's willingness to let her take the valuable Ancient Bloodline Stone on credit meant he must have something in mind.
Seeing the wariness in her eyes, Qin Luo chuckled and calmly explained:
“Miss Dan, there’s no need to be nervous. These two things are not difficult. The first thing is whether you can tell me the origin of this stone. Since you’ve come here for this reason, you must know its origin.”
