"Just let me take a look, is it a love letter or something?" Wu Yu put his arm around Jack's shoulder and said in a low voice.
"It's just a few words, you're overthinking it."
Jack ignored Wu Yu's pleading and cajoling. Like a groundhog, he easily escaped Wu Yu's clutches with a quick crouch and a jump.
"Tch, stingy. I even chose you just now!" Knowing he couldn't do anything about Jack, Wu Yu could only complain a couple of times before giving up.
Jack remained silent, and he hadn't lied to Wu Yu. The golden card lying in his storage ring indeed only contained a few words: the two words "arch-enemy" written in a graceful and elegant style.
Wu Yu turned around and asked, "Your Highness, where do you wish to go next? The journey here is treacherous. Why don't you join us?"
Although he had previously refused Philliss's request, Wu Yu couldn't just let a weak woman wander aimlessly in the desert, so he took the opportunity to invite her over.
"I still need to rescue people, hero, please come with me." Phillis shook his head, then looked at Wu Yu with expectant eyes.
"Where are we going? Is it dangerous?" Wu Yu asked with some concern.
"It's not dangerous, it's just in the deserted city."
"A desolate city?" Wu Yu looked at him with a "you're kidding me" expression. Looking around, the location of the desolate city was a barren wasteland. Even the crater that the Demon King had blasted out had been filled with sand. You're telling me there are living people there?
“That’s right, Sister Maper’s life stone is still intact. She must still be alive. Please help me, hero.”
Philliss blinked his helpless little eyes again, making Wu Yu's heart pound.
"No problem, I've got it covered." Wu Yu patted his chest with his right hand, looking very reliable.
Wu Yu was confident that he hadn't fallen for any honey trap, but he knew that Jack, with his righteous nature, would never refuse such a request, so he agreed on his behalf first.
"Jack, let's go?" Wu Yu turned around and called out.
"Please wait a moment." After saying that, Jack quickly ran out.
Wu Yu followed and saw that Jack was picking up pieces of iron from the ground.
These are all the results of Wu Yu's sword strike just now.
However, it must be said that the quality of this sword is quite good. Both are made of metal, but the watch Wu Yu was wearing on his left wrist is now completely gone, while Jack's sword has only broken into more than a dozen pieces.
"I'm sorry, I broke your sword." Wu Yu offered a perfunctory apology, after all, he felt that this was not the time to care about such things.
“It’s alright, I know a good blacksmith. I’ll ask him to reforge the sword for me. I have the materials myself. You just need to pay for the labor. I’ve known the blacksmith for a long time. Ten gold coins will be enough. So, up to now, you owe me a total of thirteen gold, three silver, and six copper coins. Don’t worry, I still won’t charge you interest,” Jack said seriously.
"Haha, you really like to joke around."
Wu Yu smiled and tried to pat Jack on the shoulder, but Jack dodged it by stepping to the side.
Jack put the last piece of iron into his storage ring, then looked up with his usual poker face and said ruthlessly, "I told you before, and since you're so forgetful, I'll emphasize it again: I never joke."
Wu Yu's smile froze. He stood there dumbfounded, not making a sound even after Jack had gotten up and left.
"Holy shit!" Wu Yu's roar suddenly echoed through the vast desert.
"Give me back the gratitude you showed me earlier, you stingy miser!"
Hearing Wu Yu's call, a smile unconsciously appeared on Jack's lips. He didn't turn around, but simply waved to Wu Yu behind him and then loudly responded.
"Likewise, you lecherous penniless bastard."
Lustful?
Wu Yu admitted he was poor, but the accusation of being a womanizer was absolutely slander. Back in school, he was known for his composure and ability to resist temptation. No, he had to explain things to Jack clearly; he wouldn't take the blame for this.
"Hey, you need to provide evidence before you speak!"
However, perhaps because they were too far apart this time, Jack did not respond.
Wu Yu was so angry that he stomped his feet, but in the end he could only follow along unwillingly.
