The Blue Skirt Girl immediately said, “Alright, my wish is to have you take me away from this place that is dark and devoid of light.”
Tan Yun smiled and replied, “No problem.”
Upon hearing this, the Blue Skirt Girl's expression calmed down. “I have gone to the Divine Monument at the exit countless times, but each time I am blocked by the monument and cannot leave.”
“Can you really do it?”
Tan Yun nodded affirmatively, “I can indeed do it.”
“How can I trust you?” The Blue Skirt Girl slightly furrowed her brows.
Tan Yun said, “Senior, I am not your opponent. If I cannot take you out, you can kill me.”
After a moment of silence, the Blue Skirt Girl replied, “My parents once said that humans are cunning. If you deceive me and take my divine fire, escaping on your own without taking me, what then?”
“Uh…” Tan Yun was taken aback, then straightened his expression and said, “Senior, humans are not all bad, and I am a good person.”
“Just because you say you are a good person, does that make you one?” The Blue Skirt Girl replied, “How about this, swear an oath and I will trust you.”
“No problem.” Tan Yun raised his right hand solemnly and said, “I, Jing Yun, swear to bring the ancient blue luan senior out of the God-Eating Abyss. Should I go back on my word, may I not have a good end in life, nor peace in death, nor a chance to reincarnate.”
“Hmm.” The Blue Skirt Girl nodded, “Alright, I promise you. Once you take me out of here, I will give you the ice attribute superior celestial master fire seed: Ancient Phoenix Flame.”
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun appeared hesitant to speak.
“What? You don’t trust me?” The Blue Skirt Girl's expression turned displeased.
“Senior, it’s not that I don’t trust you.” Tan Yun scratched his head and said, “Actually, I would also like your inferior divine sovereign fire seed: Luan Tribulation Flame.”
Hearing this, the Blue Skirt Girl's expression turned icy, narrowing her eyes at Tan Yun, with uncontrollable anger glimmering in her beautiful eyes. “Human, you dare to covet my Luan Tribulation Flame? I see you are seeking death!”
Tan Yun hurriedly waved his hands, “Senior, please calm down and listen to me.”
“I know the Luan Tribulation Flame is hard to come by. It was transformed from the Luan Divine Fire during your tribulation and is incredibly precious.”
“But think about it. If you give the Luan Tribulation Flame to me, once I take you out, you can absorb the heaven and earth divine essence to greatly increase your cultivation speed. Sooner or later, you will face another tribulation and transform into the Luan Tribulation Flame again.”
“Consider it: what is more important, the Luan Tribulation Flame or your escape from this dark God-Eating Abyss?”
Hearing this, the Blue Skirt Girl stared intently at Tan Yun, causing him to feel a bit nervous. “Are you threatening me?”
Tan Yun clasped his hands and said sincerely, “I would not dare to threaten you. If I anger you, even ten of me would not be your match! I am just speaking the truth.”
“No.” The Blue Skirt Girl refused, “I will not give you the Luan Tribulation Flame. You can give up on that idea.”
“Senior…” Tan Yun began, but was interrupted by the Blue Skirt Girl.
“No need to say more; I have said I won’t give it to you,” she retorted.
“Senior, please listen to what I have to say.” Tan Yun insisted, “It is rumored that the Luan Tribulation Flame holds boundless power and can burn twelfth level supreme divine artifacts to nothing. Is that true?”
The Blue Skirt Girl stood proudly, “Naturally.”
“Are you that confident?” Tan Yun asked.
“What do you mean by that?” The Blue Skirt Girl’s eyes turned sharp.
“Senior, I mean no offense.” Tan Yun clasped his hands, “I just feel that rumors shouldn’t be taken too seriously.”
“How about we make a bet? Do you dare?”
The Blue Skirt Girl’s curiosity was piqued, “What shall we wager?”
