Chapter 292 Cooperation
Shi Li couldn't help but laugh; there wasn't anything wrong with what she said.

If we're really talking about age...

The boy in front of her was indeed much older than her.

Maybe he's an ancient monster who's lived for thousands of years.

"So you're admitting that you were once a member of the beast race?"

“Then we are of the same race.” Shi Li avoided the main point. She didn’t dare to start a conversation rashly because she hadn’t yet determined what the boy’s background was.

Although this child seems to have some foodie tendencies now, it's hard to guarantee that he won't get angry over some sensitive topic.

In that case, she would be asking for trouble.

While foodies may be endearing, they can only be truly wicked if they aren't inherently evil.

Thinking about the loyalty of the wolf clan, maybe this guy was a bad person before, but was just sealed away by the wolf clan.

After all, if she can time travel, what else in this world can't happen?
Shi Li felt that she really needed to experience more things; now she could accept many outrageous things.

They even make up their own reasons to make things seem more reasonable.

"So what if it is?" the young man scoffed.

He just stood there with his arms crossed, looking at Shi Li with a "let's see what you're going to do" attitude.

He didn't say much, nor was he curious about Shi Li's affairs.

But at least he didn't look angry.

Shi Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to negotiate terms.

"Look, you've been starving for who knows how many years, and life is so hard for you."

"Life is much better outside now."

"I see you're quite capable too, how about we make a deal?" Shi Li covered her neck with one hand, letting the blood flow freely, while pulling at the boy's once white, now stained crimson robe.

"What kind of deal?" The boy raised an eyebrow.

Seemingly not expecting that after what had just happened, Shi Li would still dare to touch him.

In my memory, people who were in a deep sleep all avoided him.

"I'll take care of feeding you, and you take care of my safety."

“This is a win-win situation for us,” Shi Li stated her terms.

No matter how you look at it, you won't lose out.

The competition is about to begin, and with this guy's help, our chances of winning are definitely much greater.

And this guy can exploit bugs; he's a dead man!

It doesn't count towards your entry quota!
Shi Li's eyes lit up with excitement.

Why should we cooperate with you?

"Since you say that what I've been consuming is your spiritual energy, then you're probably not the only one who has this kind of thing, right?"

"After I've drained you dry, I can still find someone else."

"So what if it's disposable? As long as there are enough people, a one-time meal is enough for me to eat my fill." The boy saw through Shi Li's intention to use this to manipulate him and couldn't help but want to laugh.

These people are always so confident, believing they are so powerful that they can control others at will.

But in reality, they are all digging their own graves.

"Then you may go and search, but you can spare my life first."

"Try to see if you can find someone with my level of mental strength." Shi Li was quite confident in her own mental strength.

She bet the boy wouldn't find a more suitable "food".

The boy hadn't expected Shi Li to say those words so calmly.

"But if you want me to keep you, all you need to do is protect the safety of your owner." Shi Li covered her neck, her face pale, but still managed to make a somewhat joking expression.

The boy felt a mix of emotions upon seeing this. Then he couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"You're really crazy, going to raise me?"

"I have a big appetite." As soon as the boy finished speaking, Shi Li knew that things were settled.

If they're willing to give you a chance to talk, then they're probably interested in this condition.

Then I no longer need to worry about my life.

The moment of relaxation caused Shi Li to faint.

When she regained some consciousness, she heard a hoarse voice calling her name.

She seemed a little tired; her voice was still somewhat soft.

Struggling, Shi Li opened her eyes with difficulty, feeling weak all over. Especially when she tried to turn her head to see who was calling her name, her neck hurt so much that she couldn't help but grimace.

"woke up!"

"Don't move! Lili, how are you feeling?" Seeing that Shili was moving, Heige quickly pressed Shili's head down, afraid that Shili would move again.

Her voice even sounded like she was about to cry.

"You're finally awake! You scared me to death!" This was followed by an uncontrollable sob.

Shi Li disregarded the pain and turned to look at Hei Ge, who was already in tears.

During the previous Zerg war, Hag hadn't shed a single tear, but now he was a heartbroken man.

"Don't cry, I'm fine." But as soon as she opened her mouth to speak, that familiar pain returned.

That guy bit her really deep; now even talking pulls on the wound and causes pain.

"It's all my fault. I'm not good enough to protect you."

"I should have been the one who got hurt. It was you who lured that monster away." Hege became more and more agitated as he spoke, no longer caring about his masculine pride. He was only filled with fear and heartache for Shili after she was lost and found again.

He now wishes he could take Shi Li's pain and injury upon himself, even if it meant a hundred times the torment, he would never want that wound to appear on Shi Li's body.

She cried like a child of a few years old, and Shi Li couldn't stop her from crying.

She only managed to stop crying when she was so overwhelmed with emotion that she was almost out of breath.

At this moment, Shi Li finally mustered enough strength to wipe away the tears still clinging to Hei Ge's face.

"Don't cry. After a while, when my mental strength recovers a bit, I can go back in time."

"The wound doesn't hurt anymore." Shi Li smiled, looking indifferent. The pain was only temporary. With this ability, she was often unaffected by minor injuries, since she could always recover completely.

If you can take the fall for someone else's injury, then it's worth it.

After all, it takes far less time to trace one's own spiritual energy than to trace the spiritual energy of others.

Shi Li was clear about this.

"But the pain is on your body." Hager couldn't quite figure it out; all he knew was how much pain Shili must have felt from such a deep cut.

How much blood must have been shed?

Even now, Shi Li's face is still frighteningly pale.

"It's my fault for being useless." Haig ultimately attributed all the blame to himself.

Seeing this, Shi Li felt very sorry for her.

"There's no need for us to discuss who's to blame or who's not."

"How can you blame yourself?"

"No one could have imagined this guy was this amazing." Shi Li affectionately pinched Hei Ge's cheek.

Seeing Heige's vulnerable, childlike side for the first time, Shi Li was somewhat moved.

How is this any different from a child like Xiaoyu?
"It's not your fault. It seems your mental strength has recovered enough. Don't cry yet."
