Chapter 197

The damage Muyang Village suffered during this Huang Jin attack was not small.

Several buildings were burned down, and over a hundred NPCs lay on the ground, becoming corpses along with the hundreds of Yellow Turbans.

"Are you alright?"

Su Li leaped lightly from his Sweat-Blood Horse to Luo Qingqing's side.

Looking at everything before him, he let out a sigh.

He had rushed over at the fastest possible speed, but he still couldn't avoid causing such heavy casualties.

This was something that couldn't be helped.

After all, Muyang Village was still a long distance from Bai Yun Town.

Even at the speed of the Crimson Blood Cavalry, it took half a day to arrive.

"Thank you for this time; if it weren't for your rescue, relying solely on the NPCs in my territory, I would never have been able to stop these Huang Jin soldiers."

Luo Qingqing tidied her somewhat messy hair and patted the dust and blood off her body, trying her best to look neat.

Then, she opened her beautiful eyes and gazed at Su Li with gratitude: "What reward do you want?"

It had been agreed beforehand that as long as Su Li came to help, she would agree to any request of his.

Of course, this request certainly didn't include *that* kind of thing.

But for some reason, Luo Qingqing suddenly felt, if Su Li really asked for *that* kind of thing, would she really refuse?

"Well, about that..."

Su Li rubbed his nose and then looked at Luo Qingqing, holding back a smile: "I want you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Luo Qingqing blushed and shouted: "Ah?!!"

No way!

Really, no way!

Luo Qingqing looked at Su Li's serious expression, her heart pounding.

This man actually really made that kind of request.

He wanted her?

Should she refuse?

No, she should refuse, right...

But what if, if she missed this chance, there would be no such shop?

Luo Qingqing didn't know what was wrong with her.

She, who was known as an ice-mountain beauty in the real world, was actually hesitating over this kind of thing?

If her group of girlfriends found out about this, wouldn't she be nailed to the pillar of shame and die of social embarrassment immediately?

No, she couldn't be like this; she had to be reserved!

Luo Qingqing made up her mind, but looking up at Su Li's serious expression and his handsome, firm face, she suddenly nodded as if possessed: "I... I'm willing!"

After saying this, she immediately turned her head away shyly, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

But her answer and demeanor.

Left Su Li completely bewildered.

What's the situation?

He hadn't even gotten to the point, and Luo Qingqing was already willing?

Or was it that Luo Qingqing had already guessed what he was going to say next, felt it was no problem, and agreed?

That's too smart.

Su Li couldn't help but look at Luo Qingqing with higher regard, then said: "Alright then, from now on, your Muyang Village will be an affiliated territory of my Bai Yun Town."

"My Bai Yun Town will provide protection, and you need to do things for me!"

Hearing this, Luo Qingqing immediately raised her head; her shy expression vanished, replaced by a face full of little question marks: "???"

"What, didn't you guess it?"

Seeing Luo Qingqing's confused look, Su Li was also left speechless, frowning slightly as he looked at her.

"Guess what!"

Luo Qingqing really wanted to hit someone at this moment; she suddenly realized something: "You mean you wanted my territory?"

"Yes, that's right."

Su Li nodded, also reacting, and looked at her strangely: "Otherwise, what did you think I wanted from you?"

Pfft...

Luo Qingqing was vomiting blood internally, as if she had received ten thousand points of critical damage; it turned out she had been wishful thinking the whole time.

The other person hadn't even thought about wanting her.

Sob sob sob.

After getting this answer.

Luo Qingqing felt very lost instead, and wanted to cry.

Could it be that her charm in this world had weakened, and she wasn't even as attractive as a territory?

He only wanted her territory, not her???

But no matter how sad she was, Luo Qingqing still had to pretend on the surface that it wasn't what she had thought: "I also thought you wanted my territory."

"As your affiliated territory."

There was no other way; since it had already reached this point, Luo Qingqing could only swallow her pride.

And thinking about it carefully, if Muyang Village really became an affiliated territory of Bai Yun Town, there was actually no harm in it.

After all, it's good to have a big tree for shade; with Su Li, this big tree, blocking in front, she would never have to worry about her territory being destroyed and being reduced to a refugee again.

Thinking of this, Luo Qingqing's thoughts became active, and she looked at Su Li, explaining (making excuses): "I was just confused earlier, why you would want my Muyang Village to become your affiliated territory; yes, that's what I was confused about."

As she spoke, she didn't even feel confident herself, and she specifically emphasized her tone.

Su Li glanced at her faintly: "To be precise, I *do* want you."

"Ah...?"

Hearing this, Luo Qingqing's thoughts, which had already begun to fade, rushed back to her cheeks, and she said with a blushing face: "Could it be that you..."

"Sister, don't overthink it."

Su Li quickly waved his hand, stopping her from saying anything more wishful, and explained: "I need you to use your functions as a player to convey messages for me at any time when I leave Bai Yun Town."

Yes, players can communicate with each other anytime, anywhere.

This is something that cannot be done between players and NPCs.

If he were to go on an expedition in the future and be away from Bai Yun Town for a long time, he wouldn't be able to keep track of the movements of his territory, Bai Yun Town, at all times.

If something happened, even if Bai Hao sent someone to report, the time delayed in between would be enough for an accident to occur.

But if there were a player near Bai Yun Town to help him keep an eye on the movements of Bai Yun Town at all times.

Once there was enemy activity, reporting it immediately through the friend function would reduce the probability of accidents to the absolute minimum.

It was precisely because of this idea.

That Su Li had rushed over without stopping after receiving Luo Qingqing's plea for help.

To help Luo Qingqing resolve her crisis and, incidentally, do her a favor.

Thereby achieving the goal of having Muyang Village become an affiliated territory of Bai Yun Town, and then relocating it near Bai Yun Town so that Luo Qingqing could help him keep an eye on the movements of Bai Yun Town at any time.

Luo Qingqing had no reason to refuse.

She didn't need to pay any price at all; she just needed to act as a messenger to receive Su Li's protection.
