"Wanwan... save , save ! Help ." Ye Jiqing pushed open the car door, stumbled out frantically, and nearly fell to his knees.
I grabbed his arm in one swift motion and steadied him, "What's wrong? How can I help you?"
Ye Jiqing, who always carried himself with dignity.
Now, he appeared so disheveled and desperate, even attempting to kneel before .
What on earth happened?
"Chasing ... Xia Xi is chasing ... I've been fleeing, all the way here... A whole day and night..." Ye Jiqing's eyes were filled with despair, his stubble on his chin looking particularly pale and gaunt under the streetlight.
I sorted through his words and translated them, "You've been chased by Xia Xi and ca to Spring Wind Town seeking my help. You drove here, escaping for a whole day and night? Did you hit the road bollard just now because you were too tense?"
"That's right, she was right behind the car just now, all covered in blood! Blood all over..."
Ye Jiqing completely broke down, his eyes scattered and his mind sowhat muddled.
I softened my voice, trying not to agitate him further, "I rember giving you a Peace pouch."
"Wanwan, your Peace pouch seems to only be able to ward off Xia Xi once." Ye Jiqing's emotions surged again as he shakily pulled out a Peace pouch with obvious signs of scorching,
"I pressed it against Xia Xi's face, and she suddenly couldn't move, so I escaped, and then the pouch got these scorch marks."
I showed no surprise, "For a fifty yuan item, you expect it to be that powerful?"
"…" Ye Jiqing was at a loss for words, staring blankly at , then in terror he rembered sothing else and pleaded, "Do you have any more Peace pouches? Give
a few more! Wanwan, I know I was wrong before, I shouldn't have underestimated you so trivially, you indeed have real abilities, just like Wei Yao said."
"As for Peace pouches, I don't have any more, the last one I gave you was the last one I had." I spread my hands to show him, my tone calm.
Ye Jiqing's eyes turned bloodshot, like a wounded beast, he accused in a low voice, "Su Wan, you... you're still harboring resentnt about the past, aren't you? That's why you refuse to help !"
"I don't intend... to refuse to help, I really don't have any Peace pouches on hand. If you want one, I can only make it now, and the effects are limited."
I saw Ye Jiqing's misunderstanding and explained, furrowing my brows.
The quantity of Peace pouches I made last ti was limited, and the one given to Ye Jiqing was indeed the last one.
In his situation, giving him another Peace pouch.
Would only be a temporary solution; we needed to address the root of the problem.
Beichen stepped in front of
without waiting for
to finish, "This gentleman... Mr. Ye, is it? Please comport yourself with dignity. Life and death are predestined, and one's fate is in their own hands. Su Wan is under no obligation to save you."
"Who are you?" Ye Jiqing looked at Beichen in bewildernt.
Beichen declared sternly, "The person protecting her."
"I didn't an to coerce Su Wan, I just want to ask for her help." Ye Jiqing explained hurriedly, then yelled at , "Wanwan, you won't save
because you still have unresolved feelings for , and it's turned to hate because of love? If that's the case, then I have nothing more to say."
Having said that, Ye Jiqing slumped his shoulders and pulled open the car door, ready to leave.
Watching his retreating figure, I furrowed my brows, stepped out from behind Beichen, "How much are you willing to pay for my help?"
From the Demon Qi and resentnt lingering on Ye Jiqing, I surmised that there must be a significant secret behind the trouble he was facing.
Perhaps I could earn a substantial amount of Yin Virtue!!
An opportunity to make money and accumulate great Yin Virtue at the sa ti, why not go for it?
"You... are willing to help?" Ye Jiqing's back shuddered, and he turned around abruptly.
