Ye Lili hesitated upon hearing this, pausing in her steps with a conflicted expression and not speaking for a long while.
Gu Zhiqi observed her look and lightly clucked her tongue, "If you don’t want to talk about it, there’s no need to force yourself."
Everyone has the right to keep their own secrets.
After saying this, Gu Zhiqi turned and continued walking ahead.
Seeing this, Ye Lili quickly caught up with Gu Zhiqi, looking at her gratefully, "Little Fairy, thank you for today. If it hadn’t been for you, I’d definitely have been captured."
Gu Zhiqi was thinking about something and didn’t speak.
"Um, Little Fairy, may I know your name?" Ye Lili asked, looking eagerly at Gu Zhiqi with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
When Ye Lili asked about her name, Gu Zhiqi subconsciously replied, "Gu Zhiqi."
"Gu Zhiqi." Ye Lili murmured her name and then continued, "Little Fairy, my name is Ye Lili. I really appreciate what you did for me today. If I’m still alive and we meet again, I will definitely repay you."
Remembering she was still a fugitive, Ye Lili went on, "Those people definitely won’t let me go. Now, I must leave. You should leave here as soon as possible too, otherwise..."
Thinking of Gu Zhiqi’s Combat Power, Ye Lili suddenly stopped and changed her words, "Well, I’ll take my leave."
Saying this, she turned to leave.
"Hold on." Gu Zhiqi reached out and grabbed the collar of Ye Lili’s clothes.
She turned her head, looking questioningly at Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi, looking indifferent and weary, gazed at Ye Lili, "Do you want to buy a talisman?"
Little Fairy suddenly turned into a little swindler?
Without Ye Lili speaking, Gu Zhiqi continued to pitch, "It’s not expensive, just 100,000, and it’s worth more than its price."
Even though she was speaking the language of sales, there was a hint of perfunctoriness in her expression and tone.
My life is at stake, and you still want to swindle my money?
A trace of accusation appeared in Ye Lili’s eyes as she looked at Gu Zhiqi.
There was a few seconds of silence at the scene. Seeing the accusation almost spilling from Ye Lili’s eyes, Gu Zhiqi lightly clucked her tongue and released Ye Lili’s collar, "If you don’t want to buy it, it’s alright."
I can simply set up an arrangement on her and help her hold on a bit longer.
"I’ll buy! Give me ten!" Ye Lili suddenly became as excited as if infused with a shot of adrenaline and said to Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi: What’s the stimulus?!
"I might not even be alive tomorrow; if I really die, I won’t be able to spend those money anyway. If I can let the Little Fairy earn some money... ahem, swindle some money before I die, I’d still be happy." Ye Lili said, already taking out her phone.
"I only have three." Gu Zhiqi said, pulling out three talismans from her pocket and handing them to Ye Lili.
These three talisman papers were meant to safely get her through this crisis.
Although she indeed had more than ten talismans, buying too many would be useless for Ye Lili.
Ye Lili exclaimed and examined the talisman paper in her hand.
This talisman paper looked quite ordinary.
The touch, similar to regular paper, showed no difference.
The pattern and symbols, too... But I must say, they were quite attractive, and just looking at them, one could feel an ancient and mysterious vibe.
Looking at this pattern, inspiration flashed through Ye Lili’s mind, and ideas burst forth.
I can’t hold back any longer; I have to find a place to sketch out a design.
Thinking this, she started walking away, but after a couple of steps, Gu Zhiqi pulled her back.
"Planning to freeload? Transfer the money."
Only then did Ye Lili belatedly remember that she hadn’t paid yet.
