The female warrior’s eyelids fluttered open as she pushed herself up from the ground and stumbled over to where Qi Bei and his group were seated. She then sat down beside them.
“Could you give me something to eat?” The female warrior’s voice was a little hoarse. She had already exhausted her strength, and her stomach was growling at the sight of the abundant food in front of her.
“Help yourself,” Qi Bei said.
“Thank you.” After thanking them, the female warrior reached for a chicken leg. But before she put it in her mouth, she looked up and said, “My name is Sa Lingling.”
After introducing herself, she began to eat.
As Qi Bei glanced at the female warrior, Sa Lingling, he noticed that she spoke in a refined manner and appeared to come from an esteemed family. However, in his opinion, she wasn’t particularly attractive. Her eyebrows were thick, her lips slightly fuller, and her features were sharply defined, almost giving her a masculine look, if not for her well-proportioned figure.
Suddenly, Qi Bei heard Thirteen’s voice in his ear. “Master, this woman may be from the Sa family of the Saint Yana Alliance.”
Qi Bei was intrigued. The Saint Yana Alliance was made up of fifteen forces, ten of which existed in the form of countries, while the other two were in the form of clans, with the Sa family being one of those clans.
The fact that the Sa family could stand on equal footing with the other alliance nations in the form of a clan showed their strength. However, he didn’t know what position Sa Lingling held within her family.
After a short while, Sa Lingling finished eating, and she looked much better.
“Thank you for saving me,” Sa Lingling said gratefully to Qi Bei.
“Don’t mention it. I only saved you because of the five million gold coins,” Qi Bei said with a smile. He didn’t think that mentioning payment was ungentlemanly.
Sa Lingling was taken aback and said, “I don’t have that much gold on me right now. But if you escort me out of the Savage Wastelands, I will pay you ten million in total.”
“I knew this was a bad deal. Forget it, I won’t take the five million gold coins. You can go now,” Qi Bei sighed and waved his hand.
“You don’t believe me, but I will definitely pay you. I guarantee it in the name of the Sa family of the Saint Yana Alliance,” Sa Lingling pleaded.
“The Sa family? The Sa family is so large. Are you from the main branch or a side branch? While ten million gold coins may not be much to the Sa family, it may be a lot for you,” Qi Bei shrugged. Even the favored prince of the Golden Leaf Empire couldn’t come up with ten million gold coins unless he was in a position of power.
“I’m the Sa family’s eldest daughter. But I… I really can’t come up with ten million gold coins,” Sa Lingling said.
Qi Bei smiled, showing an expression of “I knew it”.
“I can’t, but my sister Sa Qier can definitely come up with it. As long as I speak up, she will give it,” Sa Lingling said, with pride and arrogance in her tone when she talked about Sa Qier.
“Master, Sa Qier controls most of the Sa family’s industries. She is a business genius,” Thirteen’s voice once again entered Qi Bei’s ears.
Qi Bei showed a thoughtful look. Sa Lingling wasn’t seriously injured and was a Senior-level warrior, so bringing her along wasn’t really a burden. But what could he get from her? Ten million gold coins? Pfft, petty cash. Her sister, the business genius? That… was worth considering.
Seeing the glances that Qi Bei occasionally cast her way, Sa Lingling felt uneasy. She knew that she couldn’t survive in the wilderness alone.
“Forget about the ten million gold coins. I have only one condition: I want to meet your genius sister,” Qi Bei said.
Sa Lingling looked at Qi Bei warily, saying nothing.
Although Sa Lingling was the elder sister, it was Sa Qier who had always helped her clean up messes since they were young. Sometimes, in front of her brilliant sister, Sa Lingling would feel inferior. Even though she had outstanding warrior talent, the people in the family would never see her standing in her sister’s shadow. She would always be the overlooked character.
So, her feelings toward her sister Sa Qier were complicated, but undeniable. Blood is thicker than water, and she was afraid that Qi Bei had bad intentions toward Sa Qier.
“Don’t worry, I just want to do some business with your genius sister. It’s a mutually beneficial thing,” Qi Bei looked into Sa Lingling’s eyes sincerely. In fact, he did have this idea, but as for the specific business, there was room for flexibility.
Sa Lingling looked at Qi Bei’s warm and friendly eyes and instinctively believed him, so she nodded her agreement. However, if she were to see Qi Bei’s dead and cold demeanor, she didn’t know if she would still believe him..
In fact, everyone has two sides, it’s just that Qi Bei’s behavior is a bit extreme.
In a civilized world, be the most civilized person. In a savage world, be the most savage person. In a dark world, it’s best to forget that you’re still a human.
This is the law of survival. Of course, the reason why people are people is because they have bottom lines and principles. As long as they abide by the principles and bottom lines, there is nothing wrong with what they do. This is Qi Bei’s philosophy.
“Also, we won’t be returning immediately because our business isn’t finished yet. We allow you to follow us, but you have to obey orders. And let me warn you again, the place we’re going may be very dangerous, and there’s a chance of dying at any time. Are you sure you want to come with us?” Qi Bei spoke up.
Sa Lingling nodded and said, “I joined an adventure team to come to the Savage Wastelands, and I know the dangers here. As long as I’m not alone, I’m willing to follow, and I’ll obey orders.”
“Good, let’s go.” Qi Bei said. Sa Lingling seemed to be afraid of being alone, but that had nothing to do with him.
The group walked on the white snow, gradually moving away.
…..
Xiao Li and Dia were huddled behind a boulder, both looking very tired and still showing signs of fear.
“Dia, are you still a man? Abandoning your companions and fleeing, we will never be able to hold our heads up again. And now, the Silver-Haired Wolf is also seriously injured, and there are a group of ferocious beasts blocking the way back. It’s just the two of us, we’ll die here sooner or later.” Xiao Li scolded.
“Enough! If it weren’t for you nagging in my ear all the time, we wouldn’t be so unlucky,” Dia growled in a low voice.
“You… hmph, you’re a coward, you don’t deserve to be a man. I don’t want to be with you anymore.” Xiao Li stood up in anger, pointed at Dia, and walked away.
Dia watched Xiao Li’s figure walk away, feeling even more terrified. Two people are better than one, how could he let her go? So he shamelessly chased after her.
“Don’t follow me,” Xiao Li said coldly.
“Who’s following you? The wasteland is so big, is it yours?” Dia retorted, behaving like a newly pubescent teenager. Maybe it was because he really had been through a lot, his actions seemed too childish.
Just then, Xiao Li suddenly stopped walking, almost colliding with Dia behind her.
“What are you doing?” Dia asked.
Xiao Li’s face turned pale, and she pointed her finger forward.
