Chapter 2867
Kai could tell from the girl’s aura that she was gravely injured and was only managing to hold herself together for the moment!
As soon as Kai spoke, the girl’s expression shifted dramatically, and she suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood!
With the blood spewing forth, she fell backward with a thud!
Without hesitation, Kai leaped forward to catch her, channeling his spiritual energy into her body!
After a brief moment, the girl slowly opened her eyes!
Upon realizing she was in Kai’s embrace, she quickly shot up and distanced herself from him!
“What do you intend to do with me?”
The girl was clearly in a state of panic!
“If I hadn’t intervened just now, you would have perished right here.”
Kai replied, exasperated.
The girl examined her body, noting that she felt significantly better, but she remained wary of Kai and said, “Why did you save me? We’re complete strangers, and I hurt your people.”
“Even if you’re grateful, I won’t tell you where the Ice Soul Fragment is, so you might as well give up…”
Kai scoffed, “Some people just don’t know their own hearts.” He glanced at the Three Monstrous Thieves. “Let’s go and ignore this crazy person…”
As Kai turned to leave with the three thieves, the girl suddenly called out, “Wait a minute…”
“What do you want? I already told you, I don’t know anything about the Ice Spirit Fragment, and I’m not trying to steal it from you, so stop pestering me.”
Kai was furious!
“I’m sorry, I… I just wanted to thank you for saving me.”
The girl appeared embarrassed at that moment!
“There’s no need for thanks, just don’t bite the hand that saved you.” Kai said, clearly in no mood for pleasantries, and prepared to leave with the three thieves.
But just then, the girl caught up to him and stopped Kai!
“What more do you want?” Kai snapped, his anger flaring again.
“I was wondering if you could help me retrieve the Ice Soul Fragment together?”
The girl asked tentatively.
“Why should I assist you? We don’t even know each other! You’ve injured one of my people, and now you expect my help?”
Kai replied coldly.
“I won’t ask for your help without offering something in return. Once we obtain the Ice Soul Fragment, I can share half of it with you. Even a portion of it would significantly boost your strength.”
The girl hurriedly added!
Intrigued by her proposition, Kai asked, “What is this Ice Spirit Fragment? Why is it so powerful?”
Looking at Kai, the girl seemed sincere, indicating he genuinely didn’t know much about the Ice Soul Fragment!
“What you need to understand is that the Ice Spirit Fragment is a treasure, and this extremely cold land is a result of its power.”
The girl explained to Kai!
“If it’s such a treasure, why do you need my help to retrieve it? Can’t you get it on your own?”
Kai questioned.
“There’s a demonic beast guarding the Ice Soul Fragment, and I’m simply no match for it. That beast is what caused my injury.”
The girl answered honestly!
“If you can’t handle it, then I, a mere cultivator at the second rank of the Harmony Realm, would stand no chance against that creature. So seeking my help is pointless!”
Kai shook his head.
“You shouldn’t underestimate yourself; your strength is clearly above mine. You’ve concealed your true power. Don’t think I’m unaware of that.”
“If you were truly just a second rank in the Combined Body realm, you wouldn’t be able to withstand my aura at all.”
“And these three individuals, whose levels surpass yours, treat you with respect. In the Celestial Realm, strength is everything.”
The girl analyzed the situation point by point!
After hearing her reasoning, Kai couldn’t help but smile and said, “Your analysis is sharp. I can assist you in retrieving it.”
After making his decision, he turned to the three monstrous thieves. “You guys stay here; the others will arrive soon…”
