Chapter 607

"I repay kindness with kindness. Speak, what do you desire?"

The woman turned around, facing Meng Zhangqing.

Yet upon seeing Meng Zhangqing, her gaze faltered slightly.

It was not because of Meng Zhangqing's handsome face.

Rather, she inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

But she could not recall it at once.

"So direct."

Meng Zhangqing was inwardly surprised.

Absolutely no nonsense, straight to the point.

Her speech and actions revealed a sense of swift and decisive action.

Yet it was understandable; a true King of the Human Race would hardly have the time to exchange many words with a newly met Marquis like him.

"This junior has no special desires, merely a lifelong love of meeting the strong, especially seniors like you. Might I make a friend?"

Meng Zhangqing said.

"Make a friend?"

The woman's willow eyebrows lifted slightly.

For the first time, she seriously sized up the young man before her.

She had expected this person to make demands for resources or the like, but who would have thought it would be... making a friend?

Playing the long game to catch a big fish?

A far-sighted gaze indeed.

Good judgment.

"Yes."

Meng Zhangqing wore a smile.

"I advise you to choose something else. Be realistic, do not overthink. Merely 'friends' is just empty words here; it holds no meaning whatsoever."

The woman's eyes were cold.

Although she was severely injured at this moment and could not easily mobilize her power, the pressure unique to the King's Dao Realm remained.

Yet Meng Zhangqing possessed an Unyielding Will.

He was completely unaffected.

"If the senior agrees, that is enough. I only seek empty words."

The corner of Meng Zhangqing's mouth lifted slightly.

Such an attitude made the woman even more surprised; she had been explicit, yet why was this person still so stubborn?

He wanted nothing but empty words.

What use are empty words?

Strange and peculiar.

Never mind.

The woman shook her head and was too lazy to think further.

"Since you insist, then I agree."

The woman said.

"Ding!"

"Successfully added Feng Laiyi as a friend!"

"Current Favorability: One Star!"

"Attributes pending selection!"

"Triggered extra reward: Luck Card x1"

The system's voice sounded in his mind.

Meng Zhangqing was slightly stunned.

A Luck Card?

What kind of reward is this? It seems to be appearing for the first time, but judging by the name, it should be something that boosts luck.

If you don't understand, ask.

"After using the Luck Card, the host's luck will increase tenfold for one shichen!"

The system replied.

Hearing this.

Meng Zhangqing's eyes immediately brightened.

A good thing indeed.

After accepting the gift of the Heavenly Dao, his fortune already rivaled that of a Child of Destiny; with the bonus of a Luck Card, what then?

He would likely get whatever he wanted!

"Excellent."

Meng Zhangqing nodded slightly.

This item must be used at a critical moment; it must not be deployed lightly.

Furthermore.

Truly the King of the Human Race; even after adding a friend, such an extra reward can be triggered!

Fortunately, I did not choose to throw her down at the start, or the loss would have been great.

"I wonder, Senior, what are your plans next?"

Gathering his thoughts, Meng Zhangqing asked with a smile.

"Is this a hint to leave?"

The woman looked at Meng Zhangqing.

"Not at all, but I intend to head to the Black and White Academy on this journey; if it's not on your way, I'd be delaying your schedule."

Meng Zhangqing spoke calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.

From the brief exchange just now, Meng Zhangqing had basically grasped this woman's character; raising her favorability with her was truly difficult.

So... forget it.

Besides, there are still two Acquisition Cards left.

If there's truly something I want later, I can use an Acquisition Card; that thing isn't restricted by favorability.

"The Black and White Academy, huh."

The woman seemed lost in thought. "Help me with something."

"Does it take time?"

Meng Zhangqing replied.

"A bit."

"Then I won't help."

"..."

The woman was instantly speechless. "Aren't we friends?"

"Verbal ones."

"..."

The woman immediately took a deep breath.

Good lord.

Those words had actually backfired on her.

"It will definitely be compensated; I won't let you work for free."

The woman sounded somewhat helpless.

"Speak first."

Meng Zhangqing's words were concise.

Since they were already added as friends, there was no need to be overly enthusiastic.

Besides, developing this woman into a bosom friend...

... was still full of difficulty.
