Chapter 609

"I always repay kindness; tell me, is there anything you want?"

The woman turned around to face Meng Zhangqing.

Yet, upon seeing Meng Zhangqing, her gaze faltered slightly.

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

Rather, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

But she could not recall it for the moment.

"So direct."

Meng Zhangqing was surprised inwardly.

She didn't waste a single word, going straight to the point.

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

But it was understandable; as a dignified Human King, why would she have the heart to exchange many words with a Marquis she was meeting for the first time?

"This junior doesn't have any special requests, I just enjoy making friends with the strong, especially those like you, Senior. I wonder if we could be friends?"

Meng Zhangqing said.

"Be friends?"

The woman's willow-leaf brows arched slightly.

She took her first serious look at the young man before her.

She had assumed this person would ask for resources or something similar; who would have thought it would be... to be friends?

Was he playing the long game to catch a big fish?

His vision was quite far-reaching.

He had a good eye.

"Yes."

Meng Zhangqing wore a smile.

"I advise you to choose something else, be realistic, and don't think too much. To me, being 'friends' is merely a verbal agreement; it holds no real meaning."

The woman's eyes were cold and clear.

Although she was severely injured and could not easily mobilize her power, the pressure belonging solely to the King realm remained.

However, Meng Zhangqing possessed an Unconquerable Will.

He was completely unaffected.

"As long as you agree, Senior, that verbal agreement is all I want."

The corners of Meng Zhangqing's mouth lifted slightly.

This attitude made the woman even more surprised. She had already made it clear, so why was this person still so stubborn?

He specifically wanted just a verbal agreement.

What use was a verbal agreement?

How strange.

Forget it.

The woman shook her head, too lazy to dwell on it.

"Since you insist, then I agree."

The woman said.

"Ding!"

"Successfully added Feng Laiyi as a friend!"

"Current favorability: One Star!"

"Attribute selection pending!"

"Triggered extra reward: Luck Card *1"

The system's voice rang out in his mind.

Meng Zhangqing was slightly stunned.

A Luck Card?

What kind of reward was this? It seemed to be the first time it had appeared, but as the name suggested, it should be something that could boost one's luck.

If you don't understand, ask.

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

The system replied.

Hearing this.

Meng Zhangqing's eyes immediately brightened.

Good stuff.

After receiving the gift from the Heavenly Dao, his fortune was already comparable to a Child of Destiny; if he had the bonus of a Luck Card on top of that, wouldn't that be incredible?

He would likely get whatever he wanted!

"Not bad."

Meng Zhangqing nodded slightly.

This item had to be used at a critical moment; it must never be used lightly.

Besides.

As expected of a Human King, adding her as a friend could trigger such an extra reward!

It was fortunate he hadn't chosen to throw her down at the beginning, or the loss would have been huge.

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

Withdrawing his thoughts, Meng Zhangqing asked with a smile.

"Is this a hint for me to leave?"

The woman looked at Meng Zhangqing.

"Not at all, but my journey is headed toward the Black and White Academy; if it's not on the way, I might delay your itinerary, Senior."

Meng Zhangqing's tone was calm, neither humble nor pushy.

From the brief conversation just now, Meng Zhangqing basically understood this woman's personality; it was truly difficult to increase favorability with her.

So... he might as well let it be.

In any case, he still had two Acquisition Cards.

When there was something he really wanted, he could use an Acquisition Card; that thing wasn't restricted by favorability.

"The Black and White Academy, huh."

The woman seemed to fall into deep thought, "Do me a favor."

"Does it take time?"

Meng Zhangqing replied.

"A little."

"Then I won't help."

"..."

The woman was momentarily speechless, "Aren't we friends?"

"Verbally."

"..."

The woman took a deep breath.

Good grief.

That remark had actually trapped her.

"There will definitely be compensation; I won't let you work for nothing."

The woman felt somewhat helpless.

"Tell me first."

Meng Zhangqing's words were concise.

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

Moreover, trying to develop this woman into a close friend.

Was still full of difficulty.
