Chapter 1128 The Road Of Faith (1/2)
”What are you doing? Are you showing off to me?” Queenie pouted. Ricky kept saving her from the beginning to the end, which she resented very much. Proud as she was, she hated the fact that she had to be rescued, and to think that it was Ricky who saved her gave her the grief.
”I wouldn't do that. I'm not that brave,” Ricky said sincerely with an appeasing smile on his face, although he wanted to declare the opposite. After all, beggars couldn't be choosers. He didn't want to provoke Queenie too much, or she could expose the Evil Mandragora's true identity. If that happened, he would only regret it, so it was better to play by Queenie's rules for now.
Without saying anything more, Ricky destroyed Chomper's heart with his thunder power, and then he divided the pistil into two halves and handed one half to Queenie.
Queenie accepted it without hesitation. She even looked like she wanted to monopolize the whole pistil for herself.
”You are more honorable than I thought, huh? I didn't do anything to help, but you're still willing to give half of it to me,” she quietly muttered as if it physically hurt her to say these kind words.
Ricky didn't know how to respond to that, so he kept quiet instead.
He had expected her to thank him, as she had done earlier, but she didn't. Honestly, he should have expected that.
”By the way, the evil spirit in Chomper's pistil is quite powerful. Do you need my help with the refining?” Queenie asked out of the blue, smiling pleasantly all of a sudden.
”No, thanks,” Ricky answered lightly.
He knew that if he handed his half to her too, she was likely to keep it for herself. He was sure of that.
”Humph! Why can't you just appreciate it when you are offered something good? There are too many geniuses in this world who want my help, but you refuse me when I offer to help!” Queenie snorted upon hearing Ricky's refusal.
”My Devouring Mutant is enough to deal with it,” Ricky simply answered. Then, he sat down and began to refine his half of the pistil.
Now that Chomper had been destroyed, this garden was the safest place for them to stay in the ancestral land.
When Queenie saw Ricky sit down with crossed legs, the angry look on her face immediately disappeared. 'Calm down, ' she thought to herself. 'This guy is really extraordinary. I have to make him surrender to me, so that I can show my power that I can even make a genius like him obey to me to those old guys on the continents.'
Then, she also sat down with her legs crossed and started to refine her half of the pistil.
