When the group heard what Ling Xi said, they couldnt help but feel like she was some kind of secret tycoonthough she herself seemed blissfully unaware of it. It was as if she could casually pull out several artifacts on a whim. But how did Ling Xi end up with so many?

Ling Xi, why do you have so many artifacts? Zhang Nu asked, baffled. Do you really not know? Are they really from your parents? You dont even know that much?

Hearing Zhang Nus question, Ling Xi shook her head earnestly. She really didnt know. She had used them since she was young, and from time to time, even the YaoGuais would bring her gifts. As far as she was concerned, theyd just always been there.

I truly dont know where they came from, she replied. If you dont believe me, then dont use them. Figure it out on your own, I cant help you there.

Zhang Nu immediately realized she might be upset. Had he pushed too far? Ling Xi couldnt be angryhe absolutely couldnt let that happen.

Ling Xi, dont be mad, he quickly said. We were just trying to be sure. If its really okay, wed love to borrow some of the artifactsbut you should be mentally prepared. We might not be able to return them.

Ling Xi nodded. Of course, she had thought of that already.

I know, she said calmly. Thats why the ones Im giving you are all life-saving tools or artifacts I dont particularly like. Youre asking for defensive items, right? Those arent that useful to me anyway.

As long as she understood the situation, Zhang Nu felt reassured.

All right. In that case, please hand over the ones we can use.

Without another word, Ling Xi reached into her bag and dumped out a dazzling pile of artifacts. These are all mine. If you like any, pick one!

The groups jaws nearly hit the floor. Ling Xi had that many artifacts? And not a single duplicate?

How was she this powerful? Were her parents some sort of rich immortal cultivators?

No way, Ling Xiyou really had this many? Liu Hai gasped. Could you maybe give us a couple too? We dont have a single life-saving artifact on us.

He even tried his best to look pitiful as he pleaded.

Ling Xi nodded. If they really needed them, she wouldnt mind.

If you need them, take them. Were a team now, arent we? If you want something, Ill give it to you.

Hearing such generosity, Liu Hai was almost moved to tears. To him, she might as well be a living goddess descended from heaven.

Youre way too generous! If youre serious about giving these to us, then we wont hold back.

Ling Xi simply nodded again. Nothing to be polite aboutthey were a team. If they were going to live and die together, why squabble over some items?

Were all in this together, she said. And after giving you these, you better protect me. My cultivation isnt all that strong

She added a mock-worried look, which made everyone laugh. Of course, they would protect her, after everything shed just given them, theyd be monsters not to. N

Dont worry, Ling Xi, Zhang Nu said seriously. Well protect you for sure.

Yeah! Zhao Yang added. Even if something happens to me, Ill make sure nothing happens to you.

Ling Xi couldnt help but laugh. Who wouldve thought that a few trinkets could turn them into this? If shed known earlier, she mightve given them even more just to see these reactions.

Lin Xiao, meanwhile, said nothing. Silently, he reached forward and picked out one of the offensive-type artifacts. That was what he needed most. His defensive and reactive abilities were already strongwhat he lacked was raw firepower.

If youre sure, he said plainly. Then I wont hold back. I just want one that can help me attack.

Ling Xi winced a little on the inside. That particular artifact was one shed been saving for herself. But if Lin Xiao wanted it, shed give it to him. She knew his offensive capabilities were weak. He really did need the boost.

All right, she said. Its yours. But promise me youll use it properly.
