Chapter 524

Meng Zhangqing nodded.

He let go directly.

Yu Hongxue's figure swayed slightly, barely steadying herself.

But for no reason, there was an empty feeling in her heart.

"I thank you sincerely for your help this time. I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, I will give it my all."

Yu Hongxue didn't think too much of it.

Suppressing her complicated emotions, she said in a serious tone.

"No need to wait for the future. You can repay me right now."

Meng Zhangqing's gaze swept over Yu Hongxue.

Yu Hongxue's heart immediately jolted.

It couldn't be that kind of request, could it?

If it really was.

Could she agree?

And almost the instant the thought arose, Yu Hongxue panicked.

She wasn't panicking over the request itself.

But over why she would hesitate, why she would waver.

This kind of thing should obviously be flatly refused.

In the past, she wouldn't even need to think about it.

"What do you want me to do?"

Taking a deep breath, Yu Hongxue's hands tightened slightly.

"Can we become friends?"

Meng Zhangqing's eyes were sincere.

"Huh?"

Yu Hongxue was completely stunned.

What thing?

Friends?

This was completely different from what she had imagined.

Entirely outside her train of thought!

"During the Talents War, I already said I wanted to become friends with you."

Meng Zhangqing stepped forward.

His voice was sincere.

This distance made Yu Hongxue's breathing quicken slightly.

She was truly a mess right now.

Because Meng Zhangqing's request was the opposite of what she had imagined.

He only wanted to become friends with her.

But she had been letting her thoughts run wild.

She truly felt ashamed.

"Why do you want to become friends with me?"

Striving to calm down, Yu Hongxue asked.

Honestly, she found it strange. Become friends? What kind of repayment was that? Even if she agreed, it could just be a verbal promise.

She was, after all, the dignified Young Pavilion Master of the Nine-Colored Glazed Pavilion.

Her favor could clearly be exchanged for something better.

"This..."

Meng Zhangqing hesitated.

How should he put this?

Yu Hongxue, as a world-shaking monstrous talent, was naturally proud.

Saying something like 'you're very strong, I want to become friends with you' didn't seem quite right. Back during the Talents War, it had already angered her, and she had turned and left on the spot.

Thinking about it now, it really was wrong. Who crushes someone and then says they're strong?

That was no different from adding insult to injury, rubbing salt in the wound, outright humiliation.

But what else could he say?

Compared to himself, there really didn't seem to be anything worth praising about Yu Hongxue.

He was a bit troubled.

As for wanting her Holy Martial Body, that was even less something he could say.

Thinking this, Meng Zhangqing noticed Yu Hongxue's face, and an answer immediately came to him.

"Because you're very... pretty."

Meng Zhangqing said earnestly.

Hearing this.

Yu Hongxue froze.

Then she abruptly lowered her head.

【Meng Zhangqing, Yu Hongxue, Nine-Colored Glazed Pavilion, Young Pavilion Master, Holy Martial Body, Talents War】

Her cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Such straightforward words, she had heard them for the first time!

Usually in the Zong Sect, many male peers of her generation had praised her, using words more and more elaborate.

But hearing them, she felt nothing.

She only felt bored.

But now, "because you are very pretty," five ordinary words, no, six words, made a feeling of panic rise in her heart.

This was the first time in history.

Her heartbeat even quickened.

"So, is it okay?"

Seeing Yu Hongxue lower her head and stay silent, Meng Zhangqing felt somewhat speechless in his heart.

What's wrong?

A great favor, and you won't even agree with a spoken word?

A bit stingy.

"Okay."

Yu Hongxue raised her head and responded in a small voice.

But her beautiful eyes were like water, her gaze strange, completely lacking the heroic spirit she had shown before.

It was just that Meng Zhangqing's attention was no longer on her.

The system's voice sounded in his mind.

"Ding!"

"Successfully added Yu Hongxue as a friend!"

"Current favorability: Two Stars!"

"Attributes pending selection!"

"Triggered extra reward: True Intent Enhancement Card *3!"

???

Directly two stars of favorability.

This was quite rare, especially for Yu Hongxue, since this woman had disliked him very much before.

Even if the addition succeeded, it should have been only one star.

Could the system have made a mistake?

Never mind, forget it; anyway, this is a good thing. Two stars mean he can choose an additional attribute to fuse.

The extra reward triggered was also very generous!
