Chapter 1172

"Are you really leaving?"

"I am leaving!"

Su Yang nodded.

Even though the little girl looked like she was about to cry, it couldn't shake Su Yang's resolve—or the orders from the General Headquarters.

"Big brother, this is for you!" The little girl cried, pulling two fist-sized, beautiful seashells from her chest. "My mom said if it weren't for General Brother and that sister, we wouldn't be alive today. These are the most beautiful pair I've collected."

Both seashells were beautiful, glimmering with deep blue, dazzling radiance under the sunlight.

Su Yang recognized them—they were a low-level sea shell beast from the deep sea, relatively rare along the coast, with no practical value, usually used as decorations.

"Are you giving these to me?"

"Mm!" The little girl nodded seriously. "The other one is for that lieutenant sister, but she looks a bit scary, so I'm a little afraid..."

The little girl spoke in a lowered voice, a little embarrassed.

Liu Mengyun had a cold aura and overwhelming presence; most people felt intimidated just seeing her, let alone this ordinary little girl.

Yet her words had clearly reached Liu Mengyun's ears...

Seeing the little girl's hopeful eyes, Su Yang still reached out and took both seashells in his hands.

"Thank you. The seashells are beautiful—I really like them. I'll take them!"

Hearing Su Yang's words, the little girl smiled through her tears.

Su Yang smiled and patted the little girl's head, then pulled out a bag of ten catties of dried meat and shoved it into her hands: "Take this snack home and eat it!"

The secret recipe dried meat of Chengcheng's mayor, Zhu Bin, made from royal-level beast meat, mildly spicy version, rich in nutrition, with health-enhancing effects.

Su Yang had tried it—the level of spiciness was tolerable even for ordinary people.

"This..."

The little girl swallowed hard the moment she saw the bag of dried meat.

"It's a return gift—you must take it. If you don't take it, I can't accept these two beautiful seashells!"

"Then I'll take it!"

"Go back to your mother!"

"Mm!"

Watching the little girl return to the crowd with the dried meat, Su Yang slowly walked into the mayor's office holding the seashells.

The bag of dried meat was precious, but ordinary people couldn't recognize it.

Su Yang didn't believe anyone who could identify royal-level beast meat would actually be interested in dried meat.

Royal-level beast meat had no value whatsoever in the eyes of experts.

Moreover, Su Yang didn't believe anyone would dare steal a gift he had given away.

Unless they were tired of living!
