Edwardâs face showed a moment of hesitation, but he ultimately chose to let Lin Yi and his group leave.
The ash-skinned dragonkin on the ground stared in the direction Lin Yi left, his brows furrowed.
Seemed to be muttering something to himself.
For extraordinarily skilled powerful individuals, a distance of dozens of kilometers is just a matter of moments.
Under the girlâs command, the black dragon beneath her carried Lin Yi to the northwest area of the dungeon.
This region is icy and snowy, the cold wind is piercing, and the chill is bone-deep.
Looking out, everything in sight is barren.
Dragons and dragonkin are cold-blooded creatures; they donât enjoy frigid environments.
Therefore, settling here turned out to be a great choice.
Lin Yi opened the map and checked Edwardâs current location.
That tricky guy chose not to continue the chase since Lin Yi was rescued.
Lin Yi knew the reason well.
It was naturally because the girl who rescued him had reached a quite terrifying level of power.
"Ai Linlin, Iâm very curious, why did you save me?"
"Arenât we enemies?"
Lin Yi focused his mind, and a crack opened in the icy surface beneath his feet.
With a slight adjustment to gravity, Lin Yi led out the ice river water coursing beneath and turned it into ice with a wave of his hand.
He made a simple bench for himself and the little girl named Ai Linlin before him.
Lin Yi didnât hesitate and sat down first.
Then he seriously looked at the girl and asked the question burdening his mind.
On the map, Lin Yi could clearly see the girlâs name and the country she belonged to.
Despite the cute little dress and the angelic face belonging to a Da Xia girl.
Looking at her nationality, it turned out to be Beautiful Country.
This information is very easy to find, so Lin Yi didnât pretend to be ignorant; he took the opportunity to ask about this little girlâs identity.
Unexpectedly, when asked about her nationality, the little girl not only didnât get angry but also blinked her watery eyes, patiently explaining to Lin Yi.
"Lin Yi brother, I really have joined the nationality of Beautiful Country, but my heart has always been in Da Xia!"
"Three years ago, my parents were schemed against by domestic professionals; under helpless circumstances, our family was forced to leave Da Xia, fleeing to Beautiful Country, but heaven is cruel."
"Though our family safely arrived in Beautiful Country, my parents... they..."
The little girl wept bitterly in front of Lin Yi, recounting her tragic past.
She gave a proper reason for rescuing Lin Yi.
Her impeccable acting and tears were indeed heart-wrenching at first glance.
But this scene, in Lin Yiâs eyes, became extremely awkward.
How to say this, the girlâs acting skills are indeed quite good.
The story crafted is reasonable, with her heart focused on her compatriots, she was willing to offend her current allies, all sounding like a righteous hero!
If not for the Eye of All-Seeing suggesting it needs fifteen days to analyze your information, I, Lin Yi, wouldnât have doubted your words at all.
Fifteen-day analysis time, what does that mean?
Even when analyzing Wanchong Mountain and Cheng Xiao, the Eye of All-Seeing never said it requires so much effort.
From this, itâs evident that this seemingly pitiful girl before me is by no means ordinary.
Her strength is definitely at the War God level and beyond and holds powers that likely surpass ordinary Laws.
Such a terrifyingly skilled individual being targeted by Da Xia professionals and forced to move to Beautiful Country?
How difficult it is to believe this?
Such apparent loopholes are plain to see.
No matter how much Lin Yi tried convincing himself to trust the girl before him, it was impossible.
Sometimes, playing dumb is essential.
Especially when confronting a powerful individual whoâs impossible to resist; more so.
Lin Yi completely grasped this principle.
Since she rescued him, and from allies nonetheless, it indicates that he holds value!
Following the steps given by this little girl ensures life safety temporarily!
Currently, skill points arenât saved up; the "Flash" Divine Skill hasnât reached Forbidden Curse Layer yet.
Itâs better to go along with the little girlâs intentions, survive a wave for now.
While buying time to enhance strength, also see what the girl is up to.
Either way, itâs impossible to shake off this little girl, itâs better to adopt an attitude of acceptance.
From Edward not chasing, itâs evident that the little girl and the black dragon she controls possess power exceeding Dragon King level!
To fight against such a level of powerhouse is futile!
"Xiaolin sister, thank you for saving me! I understand your feelings!"
"Sometimes, we have to make decisions we loathe the most!"
"You saved me from the dragonkin of Beautiful Country; how could I not believe you?"
"Xiaolin sister, donât cry, donât cry, let brother pat your head..."
Saying so, Lin Yi indeed placed his hand on Ai Linlinâs head, gently rubbing.
At this instant, whether dragon or human, all felt awkward.
Especially the black dragon accompanying Ai Linlin, its massive vertical pupils filled with incredulous expressions, muttering internally:
After living tens of thousands of years, youâre the first to dare do this!
Lin Yi didnât continue digging his grave, hurriedly shifting the topic.
"Edwardâs strength is very formidable; you rescued me from him, wouldnât it cause trouble?"
"My actions against the dragonkin of Beautiful Country will soon be exposed; if we continue together, you might also be on their hit list."
Regarding this, Ai Linlin seemingly had her reply ready.
Without thinking, she gave Lin Yi a precise answer:
Lin Yi brother, Iâve already committed betrayal against Beautiful Country; returning there is a dead end for sure.
Itâs rare for Da Xia compatriots to meet in this dungeon; why not journey together and care for each other?
I promise I wonât be a burden to you.
The girl had already spoken to this extent; what reason could Lin Yi have to refuse?
Even if he had legitimate reasons to reject, he dared not speak them.
Itâs better not to offend terrifying monsters above the Dragon King level.
Through this conversation, Lin Yi confirmed one thing.
Itâs that thereâs something on him this girl wants desperately, yet canât obtain easily.
Otherwise, why would such a powerful presence pretend as an innocent little girl next to him?
Utilizing his mastery over ice, it didnât take long for Lin Yi to create some icy instruments in the freezing land, leisurely enjoying iced coffee.
The second allocation of Dragon Crystal is about to begin.
However, Lin Yi showed no intention of competing for it.
