Chapter 137 - 141: Reuniting with My Queen
In a deserted alley...
Dim and shadowy, the surroundings were illuminated only by faint moonlight filtering through the eaves above, casting a sliver of brightness on the ground below.
After landing there, Chen Mo didn’t hesitate for a second before placing both Ling Ying and Xun’er down.
As the large hand lifted from her waist, Xun’er’s delicate little face turned a rosy red—an alluring sight—though a trace of annoyance also flickered in her heart.
"Well then, Miss Xun’er," Chen Mo said calmly, "I believe it’s time to talk about compensation."
"I wonder..." Xun’er considered for a moment before replying seriously, "Would an Intermediate Xuan Tier wind-attribute technique suffice as compensation?"
"Oh?" Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, a sly look in his eyes. "Miss Xun’er, judging by your mysterious background, I’d wager you come from a rather powerful family. Offering just an Intermediate Xuan Tier technique seems a little stingy, doesn’t it?"
Clearly, Chen Mo was probing her limits—trying to squeeze a bit more out of her.
"Stingy?" Xun’er pouted. "Even the top three clans in Wu Tan City only possess techniques at the Intermediate Xuan Tier. Besides, you weren’t even hurt. How is that stingy?"
"You’re comparing me to them?" Chen Mo’s sword-like brows furrowed. He sneered. "Miss Xun’er, you’re underestimating me. I’ve suffered emotional damage—you’ll need to compensate for that too."
As he spoke, Tian Yuan, the sword hovering around Chen Mo, suddenly positioned itself above Ling Ying’s head.
