The Healer Demands Payment!

Chapter 120

For a moment, Meng Qi was moved. It was just a moment ago that she had the desire to see Yun Qingyan’s primordial spirit, wanting to see whether it looked like the cute Xiao Qi. Such a thought, originally just fleeting, immediately emerged again with Ji Wujiong’s unexpected words, causing Meng Qi to recall Xiao Qi’s clear blue eyes, fluffy fur, and his pair of small, semi-circular ears…

Meng Qi’s hands, hanging by her side, flinched subconsciously.

Ji Wujiong’s lips rose in a smile as a glint of amusement passed through his eyes. When he spoke again, however, his tone was much more serious, “How is it? Aren’t you curious too? This is such a profitable exchange, don’t you agree? As long as I let go of this bamboo slip, none of the people here will compete with you for this, right?”

“No.” Meng Qi shook her head, “I can’t involve others.”

“I can’t do this,” Meng Qi repeated, firmer. There was a frown on her beautiful face. She hesitated for a moment, but when she was about to hand the bamboo slip to Ji Wujiong, another hand suddenly stretched out and gently pushed her wrist down.

“Wait a minute.” Qin Xiumo nodded to Meng Qi.

Ji Wujiong’s expression suddenly sank, and he looked at Qin Xiumo coldly. Except for Meng Qi, he disliked everyone here, so he naturally did not show a good face to Qin Xiumo.

“Meng Qiqi.” Qin Xiumo continued, “Before entering the Starfallen Sea, our group discussed the distribution system for the spoils. It’s the same as we have done after defeating the snow fang bees, so you won’t object, will you?”

“No.” Meng Qi shook her head.

“In that case.” Qin Xiumo said lightly, “We should follow our rules.”

He continued after a pause: “This time, Sikong Xing and Meng Qi contributed the most. Sikong Xing was the main force in eliminating the snakes, while Meng Qi’s array not only helped Sikong Xing successfully overcome her tribulation but also turned it into our help.”

“Yes!” Sikong Xing’s eyes lit up, “Without Meng Qiqi, I would not have succeeded in transcending the tribulation, let alone dealing with those snakes.” She continued: “The snakes were in the middle of turning into a dragon, and the golden-scaled snake that led them was already at the sixth rank.”

The charming girl raised her dainty jaw and looked at Ji Wujiong as she spoke, “Even if you are a powerhouse in the Void Comprehending stage, snakes are cunning by nature. You may not be able to deal with them easily, let alone take over their storage space. Many mutant beasts would destroy their storage space upon death, and the only reason you could take it out safely was that the golden-scaled snake had died suddenly.”

“That’s right.” Qin Xiumo chimed in, “It was Meng Qi and Sikong Xing who killed the snakes, and we contributed too. You commanded the snow wolves to hold down the snakes and bought time for us, allowing Meng Qi and Sikong Xing to make preparation for the attack. Plus, you also found the storage space and took it out, so you three deserve equal credits.”

He paused and continued: “According to the rules of our team, the three of you can claim one item first, and you also get an additional claim on whatever you discover. Moreover, regardless of specific team rules, the general understanding is that the loot would be distributed by taking account of individual needs.”

Ji Wujiong sneered, but said nothing.

“So Meng Qiqi…” Qin Xiumo turned to look at Meng Qi, “You, Sikong Xing, and Ji Wujiong have the right of first choice. If you want, you can get this bamboo slip.”

“I see.” Meng Qi nodded. In fact, the distribution method Qin Xiumo explained was no different from what she brought out before. However, the added rule of taking individual needs into account was truly out of her expectation.
