Chapter 206: Why Help Me?
Holy Church...
Ye Fei lowered her eyes slightly, concealing the strange glint that flashed in them.
"I have a question for you. Have you seen a young woman in red nearby?" The man in white robes stared directly at Ye Fei.
Ye Fei shook her head: "No."
The woman in the red robe inside the cave listened to the sounds outside, a hint of surprise flashing across her beautiful face.
Why should she help this human girl when she knows her completely?
Perhaps it was because Ye Fei's eyes were too sincere that the man in white robes had no doubts at all: "In that case, you shall come with me, and I will find the way out with you."
Ye Fei shook her head: "No need, I will find my own way."
"Why are you unwilling?" the white-robed man asked, puzzled. "There might be dangerous spirit beasts lurking inside this cave. You might not be able to escape alone."
"I'm used to being alone," Ye Fei offered a reasonable explanation.
The man in white robes: "..."
The man in white robes said, "Alright, then I'll take my leave first."
He quickly turned and left. Ye Fei let out a soft breath and turned to look at the woman in red standing in the cave: "He's gone."
The woman in the red robe looked at Ye Fei with cold eyes: "Why are you helping me?"
“Hmm… if I had to give a reason—” Ye Fei gave her a bright smile: “I think you have a lot of presence, I like that, so I helped you.”
The woman in the red robe: "..."
"I was just kidding. Aren't those people from the Holy Church going to kill you and steal your things? I can't stand this kind of unreasonable behavior." Ye Fei waved her hand casually. "You'd better leave quickly. We'll meet again if fate allows."
The woman in the red robe watched her decisive back, her eyes flashing, and immediately called out, "Wait!"
Ye Fei stopped and turned around: "Is there anything else?"
The woman in red robes slowly walked towards Ye Fei, took out a small red flute from the storage ring on her finger, and handed it to her: "Take this."
Ye Fei took the flute. It seemed to be made from the bones of some kind of creature, emitting a faint reddish glow, and felt very warm to the touch.
"What is this?" Ye Fei looked at her in confusion.
"I don't like owing favors to humans." The woman in red robes looked at her coldly. "If you are in trouble, just blow this bone flute, and no matter how far apart we are, we will come to help you immediately."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fei returned the bone flute to her without hesitation: "No need, it was just a small favor, nothing to mention, you don't need to take it to heart."
The woman in the red robe was taken aback. She actually didn't want it?
In her eyes, humans were all greedy creatures who would stop at nothing to get what they wanted—just like those lackeys of the Holy Church.
However, this human girl seemed to be different from ordinary humans.
Just as Ye Fei was about to leave, she heard Qing Li's voice: "Master! Master, please let me out!"
Before falling into the cave, Ye Fei was afraid that Qing Li would get hurt, so she quickly put it into her mental space.
Ye Fei summoned Qing Li, but before her master could say a word, Qing Li flapped its wings and flew toward the woman in red, its little black bean-like eyes filled with excitement and admiration.
Ye Fei tried to grab Qing Li back, but the woman in red robes raised her hand, and Qing Li's two little paws landed steadily on her fingers.
"Is that the Senluo Qingli Kite? What an adorable little thing."
The woman in the red robe teased Qingli with her hand, the coldness in her golden eyes slowly fading away.
