Chapter 314 Cooperation (1/2)

In the end, Li Qingchan was unable to speak the words from her mouth, her gorgeously pretty face a blend of anger and shame. How could she not know that Yaoyao wanted to make her bow.

However, given her unbending and stubborn character, it was obviously not going to be easy to make her submit.

Hence, just as Li Qingchan was about to break the deal, elder Miao could only step up and smooth things over.

Upon seeing this, Yaoyao did not persist in her request, merely giving an alternate suggestion, “Since that is the case, we want half of that thousand feet aquatic beast’s Dragon Genesis Essence crystal.”

Elder Miao immediately had something to say about this.

However, Li Qingchan was faster. “Deal.”

She rather split the benefits than yield.

In addition, she did not want to owe Yaoyao anything. After all, Zhou Yuan was the cause of the problem, and it had nothing to do with Yaoyao. However, Yaoyao was now the one contributing, and as for Zhou Yuan… from what Li Qingchan could see, he was just someone who purely relied on Yaoyao, and this collaboration had nothing to do with him.

Zhou Yuan’s second layer Alpha-Origin strength basically made him unqualified to be part of this fight.

Hence, splitting half of the Dragon Genesis Essence crystal would make things even with Yaoyao, everyone getting what they needed and no one owing anyone else anything. It would also prevent her from feeling indebted to Yaoyao when they met again.

This was something the prideful Li Qingchan could not accept.

When elder Miao saw how decisively Li Qingchan had responded, she could only somewhat helplessly say, “Lass, half of the Dragon Genesis Essence crystal will not be enough for you to reach an eight dragon baptism.”

Li Qingchan calmly replied, “No matter, we are not losing out either as long as we ensure that Kong Sheng is unable get a lead.”

Elder Miao could only smile bitterly as she shook her head. This lass was really too stubborn, she could clearly enjoy the complete Genesis Dragon Essence crystal if she just opened her mouth.

Yaoyao gently tapped the jade Genesis Rune Brush on her palm as she glanced at Li Qingchan in slight surprise, evidently not expecting her to make such a decision. However, it also made Yaoyao give a slight nod of approval, the dislike she had towards Li Qingchan due to her overbearingness earlier fading somewhat.

Yaoyao offhandedly asked, “Shall we go then?”

Li Qingchan nodded, before her cold as an ice mountain eyes turned towards Zhou Yuan. “He doesn’t need to come along, right?”

Although the matter had been forcibly resolved, Li Qingchan felt somewhat unnatural when she looked at Zhou Yuan. The moment she recalled how he had seen everything, an uncomfortable feeling would fill her entire body.

Humiliation and anger, magnified to the extreme.

Of course, the most important reason was because a second layer Alpha-Origin like Zhou Yuan could not possibly interfere in a battle between Chosens such as Kong Sheng and Ye Ge.

To be blunt, Zhou Yuan would only be a burden if he went.

Zhou Yuan naturally understood Li Qingchan’s thinking, and could only laugh helplessly, not angry that he was being looked down upon. There was indeed a gap between him and the ten great Chosens such Li Qingchan, and it was only logical for him to be treated with contempt.

Since it was the truth, Zhou Yuan would naturally acknowledge it. He was not so narrow-minded that he would resent her because of this.

There was a slight trace of cheekiness in Yaoyao’s eyes as she glanced at him and leisurely said, “Let him follow us. Who knows, he may even turn out to be useful.”

Li Qingchan frowned slightly, clearly unable to comprehend what use a second layer Alpha-Origin disciple would be in such a situation. However, since Yaoyao had spoken, it would not be appropriate for her to object. In any case, they would just make sure Zhou Yuan was far away when they fought. Although he was weak, he was admittedly very quick. At the very least, he had managed to evade her pursuit for quite some time earlier.

Her gaze swept past Yaoyao and Zhou Yuan, somewhat curious about their relationship. It was clearly no ordinary relationship, and went far beyond that of simple friends.

This baffled Li Qingchan even more. Based on her initial impression, Yaoyao was clearly a rather indifferent and aloof individual. If Li Qingchan’s iciness was akin to a mask, Yaoyao’s iciness originated from within. Someone like her was extremely difficult to get close to, what more with someone else of the opposite sex.
