Qiao Sang let out a soft "Hmm," her gaze scanning the flyer in the man’s hand.
The middle-aged man enthusiastically handed over the flyer in his hand: "In this Secret Realm, we have our team. If you encounter any issues while in the realm, you can contact us."
"Whether it’s driving away wild Pet Beasts, replenishing supplies, or treating injuries, we can handle it. If we fail to resolve an issue, we guarantee no charge."
A business like this in the Secret Realm? What a lucrative idea... Qiao Sang reached out to take the flyer, glanced down at it, and then froze.
One bottle of C-rank Energy Restoration Agent, 300,000 Alliance Currency; one treatment session, 500,000 Alliance Currency; driving away up to ten intermediate-level Pet Beasts, 200,000 Alliance Currency, extra for more.
This... this is daylight robbery!
Qiao Sang swiftly returned the flyer: "I’m not interested."
With that, she turned around and left with Yaobao in tow.
The middle-aged man sighed. Sure enough, making money off the wealthy wasn’t so easy.
Qiao Sang arrived at the edge of the Secret Realm’s entrance.
A massive elliptical passageway nearly dozens of meters tall loomed before her, its transparent ripples undulating in layers, completely obscuring the world on the other side.
Mysterious and terrifying.
This was the entrance to the Secret Realm... Qiao Sang took out her phone, snapped a photo to document it, and prepared to contact Yuan Jiewen to ask if he’d arrived.
Just then, a slightly hoarse voice sounded from the side: "Excuse me, are you planning to enter the Secret Realm?"
Qiao Sang turned her head and followed the voice.
The speaker was a woman, her cheeks slightly sunken, with sharp, small eyes and pronounced brow bones, appearing to be in her forties.
Something clicked in Qiao Sang’s mind as she glanced at the woman’s hands, thinking, she’s not passing out flyers...
Qiao Sang gave a curt "Hmm" and asked, "What is it?" free.web(n)ove(l)(.)c(o)m
The woman’s face lit up with delight as she asked, "Would you consider teaming up with me to enter the Secret Realm?"
Without hesitation, Qiao Sang shook her head: "No, I have my own matters to attend to."
"I won’t interfere with your tasks," the woman said. "I only need to collect some materials for potion-making. I’ll follow wherever you go."
With that, she let out a long sigh.
"I had already arranged to team up with someone, but they suddenly flaked on me."
"No." Qiao Sang’s refusal was cold and firm. "I really have my own tasks to complete, and I won’t be able to protect you."
"How could you not protect me? Your Pet Beast looks so strong." The woman glanced at Yaobao as she spoke.
"Yaya!"
Yaobao froze for a moment, then puffed out its chest and let out a cry, clearly pleased with the woman’s praise.
No matter how much you flatter me, I’m not taking you in... Qiao Sang’s expression remained unchanged.
She hadn’t forgotten her mission inside the realm. Adding one more person to protect meant an additional layer of danger, and she wasn’t about to make such a foolish decision.
As these thoughts flickered in her mind, the woman spoke up again:
