Chapter 78: The Most Precious Thing

He didn't rush to leave, because this matter was somewhat troublesome; he had to settle it properly to have no worries behind him.

Once Túmí reports to the Federation, he could permanently lose the right to take missions.

He wasn't worried about that, after all he never relied on taking missions to survive; what he feared was that if the female in front of him reported to the Federation, the Federation would discover he had left the training base and would force him to return.

Then he couldn't stay by Ye Xi'an's side.

"What do you want?" Lin Zhi Jing stood in place, posture straight as a pine, his hands naturally hanging at his sides, his black windbreaker making his figure look even slimmer.

"Hmph, now you know to be afraid?" Túmí's husband, feeling sorry for her, helped massage her somewhat swollen neck.

Females' physiques and skin are inherently fragile; Lin Zhi Jing didn't hold back, and even though he only choked her for less than half a minute, her neck had become so bad it was unbearable to look at—her fair, slender neck looked as if wrapped in a purplish-black snake, horribly terrifying.

Túmí glared at Lin Zhi Jing; she, Túmí, had never felt so wronged since birth! Any male who sees her would deliberately strip to seduce her, yet today she was choked—utter disgrace.

She covered her stinging neck and sat on the sofa, took out a potent medicine from her space, and handed it to his male to apply.

Perhaps the male used too much force; Túmí, in pain, kicked him out.

Her eyes roved up and down Lin Zhi Jing, revealing a greedy look; one must admit Ye Xi'an's male choice is excellent—this scholarly rogue type, she seems never to have encountered before.

Túmí crooked her finger at Lin Zhi Jing: "Come over and help me apply it."

Upon hearing this, not only did Lin Zhi Jing's expression change, but the faces of Túmí's several husbands also looked unpleasant.

But they all knew Túmí was naturally fond of beauty and disliked males telling her what to do, so they could only stand aside resentfully, glaring at Lin Zhi Jing.

"I won't help you apply it."

Lin Zhi Jing had already decided to join Ye Xi'an's family, so he must maintain his purity—even applying medicine is not allowed.

"Hmph." Túmí sneered: "If I report to the Federation, do you know what you'll face?"

"I know, so tell me what you want straight out, but I could never betray Ye Xi'an."

Túmí's bewitching fox eyes narrowed slightly as she scrutinized Lin Zhi Jing: "Hmm? You don't seem to be the male matched with Ye Xi'an, right? Did you find her later?"

Túmí's long legs lay casually on the table, she idly rubbed her chin, puzzled: "No way—just look at that useless Ye Xi'an, what does this male see in her?"

Following her, you probably can't even get enough to eat.

Lin Zhi Jing curled his lips; Túmí's words were quite to his liking: "Exactly, I'm the husband Ye Xi'an found later."

"Cut the nonsense; besides betraying Ye Xi'an, I can satisfy anything you say."

Túmí lacks patience in pursuing males; she won't develop a competitive urge from a refusal—it's just one male, not worth wasting feelings and time. Since she gave Lin Zhi Jing a chance and he refused, her interest is gone.

"How boring." Túmí idly tapped her freshly painted red nails: "Then give me your most precious thing."

Lin Zhi Jing said nothing more, took the strange element stone from his pocket and threw it into Túmí's male's hand.

He had been worrying about where to discard this thing; now it's perfect—handled.

Túmí's male glanced at the object Lin Zhi Jing threw over, his eyes lighting up with surprise: "Wife, it's a strange element stone!"

Túmí hadn't expected Ye Xi'an's family to produce a strange element stone right away; delighted, she rose from the sofa, snatched the stone from the male's hand, sensed it with her mental power—sure enough, it was a strange element stone.

It's a fist-sized strange element stone; if sold, it could fetch a lot of money.
