Chapter 114: Parting Ways

When they returned to the Heisen Chapel again, Duanmu Li had already been waiting for a long time.

Even with Xie Yaoyao and the others together, Duanmu Li was still worried about his sister.

Seeing the group return without a single person missing, the heart that Duanmu Li had been holding up finally let go.

He pressed his hands on Duanmu Xing's shoulders and examined her carefully for a long time. It wasn't until the little girl's face turned red that Duanmu Li finally let her go.

"This time, I, Duanmu Li, owe everyone a favor. My little sister has been well taken care of along the way. I am deeply grateful!"

"Hall Master Duanmu, there's no need for this. Axing is a part of the team, and everyone likes her! Besides, Axing is skilled and saved us several times, so don't talk about owing favors!"

Nie Yingying admitted that she still didn't like this Vermilion Bird Hall Master of the Azure Dragon Hall!

However, this didn't prevent her from still loving the little girl Duanmu Xing. Seeing the cute look of the little girl whose eyes curved into crescents when she heard her praise, she loved her even more.

"Indeed, no one took care of anyone. If we have to say it, it was just taking care of each other!"

Xie Yaoyao was also very satisfied with the performance of the little girl Duanmu Xing. Although she was a bit shy, her combat sense was very sharp, and her coordination with Vivian and the others was extremely tacit.

Nodding, Duanmu Li didn't say anything more, but touched his sister's little head and said, "I'll wait for you outside," before walking out.

Some things don't need to be said; just look at how they are done!

She, Duanmu Li, has her own way of doing things.

With Duanmu Li's departure, the atmosphere in the small chapel became a bit oppressive for a moment. Everyone knew that the moment of parting had arrived.

Xie Yaoyao swept his hand across a table to the side.

"Drip-drop!"

Various crystal cores stored in his personal space rolled out, filling the table—some big, some small, and colorful.

Nie Yingying, who was nearby, immediately understood his intention and also took out the crystal cores from her personal space and placed them on the table, though there were only five or six of them.

"I am very honored to cooperate with everyone this time, and we have successfully completed the advanced mission. Now, there is one last happy event, which is to distribute the spoils!"

"Our cooperation this time was particularly pleasant. According to custom, what is obtained by individual ability belongs to the individual, and what everyone participated in is distributed according to the size of the contribution."

"So, I won't share my weapon and the Feimosi demigod divinity I harvested with everyone, and Vivian's Setus also belongs to her personally."

"Due to everyone's coordination at the last moment, my plan was perfectly implemented, which gave me a huge harvest. So, I am willing to contribute all these crystal cores for everyone to share equally, and my share will be given to Vivian to thank her for saving me at the last moment."

The four women looked at each other. The crystal cores they obtained together were only a small part; most were obtained by Xie Yaoyao personally, and some were obtained by Feileide leading the Thorn Knights, all of which were eventually given to Xie Yaoyao.

"No, Brother Linghu! These crystal cores were all obtained by you. We didn't help, so we can't take your things!"

As soon as Xie Yaoyao finished speaking, the little girl Duanmu Xing immediately waved her hands to indicate her disagreement.

She didn't feel that she had done any coordination at the last moment that would allow her to take these spoils with a clear conscience.

Although she envied Xie Yaoyao and Vivian for obtaining powerful props and mounts, that was what they earned by their own ability!

Agasha, who was beside Duanmu Xing, also spoke up.

"Axing is right. We are already very grateful that Brother Linghu could lead us to successfully complete the advanced mission. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to deal with that guy with the Demon Bloodline alone."

"Oh! Axing, Xiaosha, why are you being so polite? We are all our own people. Ling and I have both received great benefits, so you guys should just split these crystal cores!"

Hearing Vivian's words, Agasha and Duanmu Xing's expressions became even more determined; they were firmly not planning to accept these crystal cores.

Nie Yingying, who was on the side, watched everyone with a smile and didn't express an opinion.

Hearing the girls finish speaking, Xie Yaoyao touched his chin and then spoke.

"It was my presumption! We are close, but I should still respect your efforts! How about this: these belong to me, as I obtained them alone. Then, these that Feileide hunted from those Cyclopes and offered to me, let's treat them as our public gains, okay?"

Hearing Xie Yaoyao's words, Agasha wanted to say something but was interrupted by Xie Yaoyao.

"Believe me, although you didn't actually participate in my battle with the final BOSS, your very existence was the greatest confidence I had to scheme against it! Not to mention that Vivian saved my life, and in the previous battles, Vivian, who was charging and fighting, must have received a lot of care from you, right?"

"So, this account can't be calculated clearly, but we are a team, and that has never changed. And you have always supported me, right!"

Hearing Xie Yaoyao mention that she saved him, Vivian immediately nodded vigorously, putting on a smug look of 'That's right, it was me'.

Seeing that Xie Yaoyao had moved the two, Nie Yingying smiled and stepped forward, casually dividing the crystal cores on the table into several portions and stuffing them into their hands. Even Vivian got a transparent square one, which made her eyes squint into a line with joy.

"Alright, that's it for this matter! You two little ones shouldn't overthink it. Just remember the favor of 'Linghu Chong', and when there is a chance to cooperate again, just put in more effort!"

Nie Yingying's emphasis on the three words 'Linghu Chong' made Xie Yaoyao feel ashamed, and he quickly explained.

"By the way, there is one thing I need to confess to you!" Looking at the curious eyes of the three girls, Xie Yaoyao was embarrassed to death. "That, actually, I'm not called Linghu Chong. My real name is..."

"Hahahaha!" Xie Yaoyao was interrupted by the girls' laughter before he could finish. "Brother Xie, actually we already knew! Sister Nie had already explained the misunderstanding between you and Sister Vivian to us, but we still think calling you Brother Linghu is smoother! Hehe!"

The atmosphere in the small chapel became much more relaxed and pleasant for a moment. Only Vivian was still a bit confused, but she didn't care. Seeing everyone laughing, she followed suit and laughed loudly.

The laughter diluted the sorrow of parting!

After informing the three girls that he and Nie Yingying planned to head to the neighboring Rhine Kingdom to inquire about information on Bloodline Entries, he parted ways with them. ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
