Chapter 462: Soul Resonance Orb
“It was just a small favor! Since you are no longer in danger, I shall take my leave,” Han Li said calmly as he glanced a few times at the woman. Then he turned and walked away without a hint of hesitation or delay.
This action caused Yuan Yao, who was still shaken from the ordeal, to turn pale. She hurriedly cast aside her composure and blurted out, “Brother Han, what do you mean? Yuan Yao has not yet properly thanked you for saving my life.”
The beautiful woman’s words were spoken with a fragile expression, stirring a deep sense of pity.
However, Han Li did not look back. Only a cold voice came from behind him, “No need for thanks. I can only save someone for a moment, not help them for life. Miss Yuan, take care of yourself.”
With that, Han Li briskly walked over ten paces away, moving quickly.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao’s pale face became even more panicked.
In her current state, not to mention facing any iron fire ants ahead, she was barely able to resist the scorching heat. There was no way she could give up on Han Li, her lifeline!
So she called out a few more times in a soft voice, but Han Li ignored her and gradually distanced himself.
Seeing that pleading seemed useless on Han Li’s iron heart, and anxiety flashing across her face, she reluctantly spoke the words Han Li expected.
“Wait! If you are willing to protect me on the path ahead, I am willing to offer you precious treasures. You won’t have to waste your magical power for nothing,” she said, gritting her silver teeth.
“Precious treasures?” Han Li’s figure halted upon hearing this, seeming a bit hesitant.
“I still have a few Azure Fire Thunderbombs left. I’m willing to give all of them to you.” Seeing Han Li showing some interest, she didn’t dare delay and added quickly.
“Those green pellets from earlier? Indeed, not ordinary,” Han Li slowly turned around with a hint of amusement on his face.
Since he had saved her, he naturally had no intention of abandoning her. Moreover, there were other motives behind his rescue—just a tactical retreat earlier.
Now that she had come forward to ask, his purpose was achieved. Next, he would make a lion’s demand, and she would probably have no choice but to accept it begrudgingly.
Yuan Yao, this great beauty, clearly understood this!
But whether out of gratitude for his life-saving kindness or to continue receiving his protection, she had no other choice. She could only helplessly continue explaining to Han Li.
“The Azure Fire Thunderbomb is a secret fire bomb of the demonic path Qingyang sect. Each one requires a large amount of rare materials and much time to make. Its power can rival the nascent soul stage cultivator’s nascent yang fire. I have three left; I will give them all to you,” she said with a somewhat composed expression, extending a snow-white delicate hand. In her jade palm, three crystal-clear, slightly warm green pellets lay quietly.
Han Li returned calmly, looking at the three pellets without hurry. Then he said without emotion:
“These Azure Fire Thunderbombs indeed count as exotic treasures, but I wouldn’t risk it for just these. Carrying extra baggage here will at least double my magical power consumption. Would Master Yuan take such a risk?”
There was a hint of sarcasm in Han Li’s words.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao’s delicate face changed. After a long moment of flickering emotions, she suddenly smiled alluringly.
“Brother Han, just say your conditions. I don’t want to beat around the bush anymore. Could it be you want me to offer my body?” With that, Yuan Yao twisted her waist, her high, firm bosom slightly rising, appearing exceptionally full. Her bright eyes grew misty and filled with alluring charm.
Seeing her so delectable, Han Li showed a trace of surprise.
But then he narrowed his eyes, scanning her luscious figure without restraint. His shameless gaze caused the beauty to blush deeply, yet her eyes became even brighter and more intoxicating, as if casting a spell deep into one’s heart.
