1090 Ran Away? (1/2)

”Oh?” Xu Que heard her and stopped abruptly! He wasn't interested in the safe place the woman mentioned, but he was perplexed as to why the woman would want to collaborate with him! After all, based on his interactions with Wang Qiannian and the group, no one would bother to interact with him because he was only in the Half-Celestial Stage. Wang Qiannian gave up battling with him because he was too lazy. Why was it that this woman came over specially to initiate collaboration with him?

There was no such thing as a free lunch; Xu Que didn't believe in such a good deal!

”Fellow cultivator, to tell you the truth, I have no other choice. Therefore, I wanted to try my last chance with you!” The woman lowered her head and looked dejected.

”You have no other choice? Then all the more you shouldn't be looking for me. Do you think someone who's in the Half-Celestial Stage would be stronger than others?” Xu Que laughed as if he had seen through her tricks.

That woman was aware of Xu Que's suspicions; she shook her head and replied, ”It is just my intuition. You're brave enough to come to the eastern suburbs alone. Maybe you didn't know how dangerous this place is, but now you can see that it's a remote area where few people live...no, I should say that there's nobody over here at all. You should have guessed that this place isn't simple, but you chose to continue, which suggests that you've extraordinary strength!”

”Don't say that. Maybe I'm just silly. I have blind confidence in myself!” Xu Que laughed.

The woman shook her head instantly. ”It doesn't matter. My brother is running out of time. If he doesn't receive help, he'll die. Fellow cultivator, we must work together. Let's work together to mine for the Vital Rice. If we're successful, I only need 12 Vital Rice to lengthen his life for a year! The rest of the Vital Rice is yours!”

”Sounds good, so tell me how many Vital Rice there are in that place you mentioned, and how many more would be left after giving your brother 12 Vital Rice. By the way, what do I need to do if I cooperate with you?” Xu Que nodded, pretended to agree and asked for the details.

That woman blushed at once. ”That place...there are about 20 Vital Rice, so you could have about eight! Fellow cultivator, I know that this number may be very small for you, but the place is really safe, without any risk. Although I am in the Initial Stage of the Human Celestial Stage, if I excavate that area, I can no longer deal with all the Vital Ants, so you only have to block off those Vital Ants for an hour, I'll steal the Vital Rice, then we'll leave straight away!”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Xu Que listened and was instantly amused.

That woman looked really anxious. If Xu Que was an ordinary person, he would probably believe her. But who was Xu Que? His tricks were much more complicated than anyone else. How could he believe in that woman so easily?

A Vital Ants' nest with only 20 Vital Rice? That's impossible!

The key was he had to fight off those Vital Ants for an hour; the duration was a tad too long!

”Fellow cultivator, what do you say?” Just then, the woman looked at Xu Que and asked anxiously.

Xu Que smiled coolly, but didn't answer. Instead, he asked, ”Tell me. Why did you find me? Was it just because I'm extraordinary?”

That woman was startled, and a bitter smile flashed across her face. She shook her head lightly, ”Not because of that! But at least...your cultivation stage is lower than mine so I don't need to worry that you'll pocket all the Vital Rice. And in the public square, I saw your discussion with Wang Qiannian about the women on the street. From your expression, I believe you can be trusted. In this place, you're the only one I dare to collaborate with!”

”..…”

After her explanation, Xu Que was speechless! The rationales of her seeking him as a partner were because his cultivation stage was lower than hers and he had a bit of honesty!

D*mn it! He thought it was because of his handsomeness that she wanted to take the opportunity to get acquainted with him. To his dismay, her rationales were really disappointing!

Xu Que shook his head, ”Miss, our collaboration can be discussed in the future, but I've got to dig out the nest of Vital Ants in this mountain first.”

Xu Que turned about and headed up the mountain.

That woman exclaimed, ”Fellow cultivator, no! This mountain has a Queen Ant, its nest must be huge and robust, it's impossible for you to dig openly. You'll only startle them. And we'll be in great trouble; we'll die here!”

”Don't worry. The Exploding Heavens Faction has always been fearless. As I told you just now, I'm not fearful of any of those Queen Ants!” Xu Que smiled and continued to walk up the mountainside!

The woman was completely pale, with despair in her eyes. She had been really driven into the corner before she decided to seek Xu Que's cooperation. Who knew that he would be so stubborn. He already knew that the mountain was dangerous, and he still wanted to try. His attempt was too lethal. Once the Queen Ant was alarmed, she could escape all by herself, but Xu Que would probably just die there. If that happened, she would have a hard time finding a new partner.
