Chapter 2842
“Are you really not interested in finding the treasure? You can resist such a significant temptation?”
There was a hint of skepticism in the Sheriff’s voice!
“Absolutely I can resist it, because even if I locate the treasure and come across that Ice Pill Pill, I know it won’t end up in my possession!”
“You’re definitely planning to take it for yourself, aren’t you?”
Kai’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke with a somewhat somber tone!
The county princess seemed taken aback for a moment before breaking into a giggle!
“You’re far too clever! But don’t worry, I’m not here to steal from you; I simply want to propose a deal!”
“I can cure the poison afflicting your friend, but in return, I need your help to find the treasure and retrieve the Ice Pill Pill!”
“As for the other items within the treasure, I have no interest in them—I’ll leave them all to you.”
“This arrangement is certainly advantageous for you, wouldn’t you agree?”
The Sheriff remarked!
“How can you be so sure that I’ll allow you to treat my friend’s poison?”
Kai frowned, realizing that he hadn’t shared this information with anyone except a few individuals from the Danyang Sect, notably Suo Xingyue!
It was Suo Xingyue who suggested seeking the Sheriff’s assistance for a potential cure!
Now that the County Princess was aware of this matter too, it raised Kai’s suspicions!
“In Jialing County, there isn’t a single event that escapes my notice, including the other half of the jade token that the tile jar provided you.”
“However, I won’t pressure you; if you decline, you are free to take the jade token and leave at any time!”
“But I must inform you before you depart: the poison affecting your friend is something only I can cure.”
“Unless you can locate the individual who administered the poison and obtain the antidote!”
The Sheriff stated flatly!
“Mr. Chen, please reconsider. That treasure won’t be easy to uncover, and acquiring the Ice Pill Pill will be fraught with danger!”
“I don’t want you to put your life at risk for my sake…”
Yih expressed his concerns to Kai!
Yi Hyuk was unwilling to jeopardize Kai’s safety; if anything were to happen to him, Yi Hyuk would bear the guilt for all of Heavenly Dragon Hall!
“You’re the county lord; why don’t you seek the treasure and obtain the Ice Pill Pill yourself?”
“Don’t tell me that with the strength of Jialing County, you can’t secure the Ice Pill Pill.”
Liu Ruyan questioned the county princess, dissatisfied with the notion of letting Kai take the risk.
“The truth is, she simply cannot leave this modest two-story building. Her current form can only be sustained by the spiritual formation within these walls!”
“To be precise, what stands before us isn’t a person but a spirit body!”
“If she were to leave, it would be disastrous for the spirit body, leading to its complete dissipation!”
“The Ice Pill Pill is capable of solidifying the spirit and manifesting a physical body, which is why I was instructed to retrieve it.”
“Am I right?”
Kai inquired, turning his gaze toward the Sheriff!
After Kai posed his question, the county princess of Jialing County fell silent for a moment, indicating that he had hit the nail on the head!
Finally, a few moments later, the county princess remarked, “You are even more astute than I anticipated. As a healer, you also understand formations and possess the supreme fire within you. I truly can’t comprehend all that you’ve experienced.”
Upon hearing the term “Supreme Fire,” Kai’s expression changed instantly!
He had never showcased this Demon Flame in front of others; only during the competition with Gao Qijie had he condensed the Flame beneath his feet, preventing the icy cold Qi from approaching!
Yet, how could anyone have noticed his use of the Greatest Flame?
Kai was baffled by how the county princess could possibly know about his Supreme Flame.
Noticing Kai’s distress, the county princess continued, “Rest assured, I won’t pry into the origins of your Supreme Flame, nor will I inquire about your true identity.”
“What I seek is solely the Ice Pill Pill. Assist me in obtaining it, and I will ensure your friend receives the antidote for the poison—it’s a win-win situation!”
