Only I can make them stronger

"I'm just guessing based on experience and intuition. After all, that stuff is too pure and seems to have some clear effects. Naturally generated minerals can't do that."

Xia Ye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.

As long as the source is unknown, it poses no threat to him.

"Then have you strengthened it? What is the difference between using artificial crystals and ordinary ore?"

"Not yet. That person has no money. At first she wanted to help me kill someone as a deal, but I refused. Later I asked her to help me find something, and now she hasn't come back yet..."

"Looking for something? Where to..." Xia Ye was about to ask, but old Dopley glared at him, so he quickly shut up.

These questions are not part of the content of the question.

Seeing that the topic had come to a standstill, Xia Ye began to think.

Since the girl appeared inside Shadow Claw, she was most likely looking for something there. At the very least, she must be in Katari City and would not go anywhere further.

Considering that they had a car and the girl had no money, they were likely to travel on foot in the wilderness. It might take a day or two longer to get from Katari to Clock City.

Thinking of this, Xia Ye smiled and said:

"Okay, I've learned something new... Grandpa Naduo, can I stay with you for a while? My friends and I are a little tired from shopping, so we want to find a place to rest."

"It's up to you. There's a stool over there, take it yourself, and don't disturb me while I'm working." Seeing that the other party had nothing else to ask, Dopley was generous. He pointed casually, then lowered his head, picked up a pen and continued to draw something.

He actually had some selfish motives in allowing Xia Ye to stay.

After looking at it again and again, Dopley found that Xia Ye's crowbar gave him a very familiar feeling.

It seemed to have some similarities with the white crystal ore that the vampire girl had, but the feeling was very vague and he couldn't put his finger on it.

So he also wanted to see what this boy wanted to see that girl about, and whether it was related to the white crystal ore.

So, inside the Dopley Equipment Store, Xia Ye and Anke were chatting in low voices, while the old man was writing and drawing non-stop. It looked quiet and peaceful.

Anyway, Xia Ye came to the Watch City to look for someone. Now it is very likely that the other party will come back here, so he is very patient.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but when An Ke was dozing off on Xia Ye’s legs, someone finally came to the door.

The hurried footsteps attracted the attention of the three people in the room, and the visitor opened his eyes wide and looked at Xia Ye and An Ke in the corner in surprise.

Qilisi really couldn't understand why she could run into him everywhere?

It took me two days to slowly calm down the urge to suck his blood, but this encounter was all in vain.

Not only was it in vain, it was even more intense.

44. Encore is jealous

Probably just as Xia Ye thought, Qilisi walked back to Clock City from Katari.

Not only that, she had consumed a lot of her physical strength and energy in the battle with Joey. After Xia Ye sucked away her blue crystals, she was unable to replenish her strength by sucking blood. She was only barely able to reach the second level, and the energy in her body was getting less and less.

So she was extremely careful on the way back. Fortunately, she arrived safely thanks to her long-term wandering experience and her first-level ability with high concealment.

"Is she the person you are looking for?" An Ke looked at Qilisi's beautiful face and whispered in Xia Ye's ear.

Before, at the Shadow Claw contact point, Qilisi had met the four girls who came to rescue Xia Ye. She knew that they had most likely protected Xia Ye.

Could it be that Xia Ye came here specially to thank the other party?

An Ke thought nervously.

This girl was really pretty, and she seemed to have a natural noble and cold temperament, which made her, who had just started dating Xia Ye, feel a little jealous.

I established a relationship with Xia Ye late in the first place. If there were to be such a strong competitor, how much time and energy would Xia Ye be able to devote to me?

If the other person was a colleague in the office, she could still accept it, but if it was a stranger, An Ke would never let the other person get close to Xia Ye.

"Well, she had something I needed very much, and I wanted to find out from her where she found it."

"Oh...that's good..." An Ke breathed a sigh of relief and murmured softly.

"What?" Xia Ye didn't quite hear the girl's murmur.

"Nothing, I said go ask!"

After saying that, An Ke pulled Xia Ye up and walked towards Qilisi, and deliberately stood in front of Xia Ye.

The vampire girl looked at the other party's aggressive look and subconsciously took two steps back.

She had not forgotten the scene of the other person pointing a shotgun at her. This person was not mentally normal.

"Did you bring the things back?" At this time, an old voice sounded from behind the counter, attracting the attention of three people at the same time.

Qilisi looked at Anke and Xia Ye, then looked at the old blacksmith, nodded to the latter, walked quickly to the counter, took out a small notebook from under her cloak, quickly wrote a note and tore it to the other party.

"I found something that was carefully guarded in the warehouse. It should be what you wanted... But my white crystal was damaged by him, so I don't have any more materials..."

Dopli read the note with a frown on his face, looked at Xia Ye strangely and asked:

"Have you two met before?"

"At Shadow Claw's contact point, she saved me."

"Then you also damaged someone's precious crystal?"

Xia Ye touched his nose awkwardly when he heard this, and looked at Qi Lisi and explained repeatedly:

"This matter is more complicated to explain. I didn't do it on purpose... Besides, in that situation, you really can't blame me, right?"

"If you hadn't used up your Cang... crystal, we would both have been handed over to her."

"I believe you are sensible..."

This confusing speech left Dopley confused, and even Anke didn't quite understand it.

Xia Ye had only given them a brief account of what happened that night, and had basically glossed over the fact that Joey was a mythical species and what they had done in between.

But Qilisi naturally understood and nodded helplessly.

"But if you lose your ore, the deal will be void and your efforts will be in vain..."

Seeing this, Dopli said.

Qilisi wrote another note and handed it to him.

"Are you asking me if I have any other methods? I don't even know much about your crystal stone. You think too highly of me..."

"It's impossible to do what you want without the corresponding materials. It's not that I don't want to help you."

Dopley responded helplessly.

The white-haired girl's expression became visibly disappointed.

She had been searching for so long, just to find a way of survival that suits her.

Do I have to go back to the [Crimson Temple] to look for the mineral called blue crystal that Xia Ye mentioned?

Can I hold on for such a long distance?

What's more, I don't like that place, and relying on the blue crystals to live is not a long-term solution.

But what else can we do now?

When her energy is used up, she will become weak and powerless, unable to do anything, and become the most humble wanderer, until her vampire characteristics are noticed by others, and then she is sold to a research institute...

Or, do I have to drink that disgusting blood?

Qilisi felt that the future was dark and difficult.

"What do you need? Maybe I can help." At this time, Xia Ye's voice suddenly sounded.

The other party is also a special person. No matter what she needs, it is most likely related to the special nature of her physique.

And past facts have proved that I am the only one who can solve this problem.

"Xia Ye!" Before Qi Lisi could respond, An Ke called out first, and quickly moved closer to Xia Ye and said anxiously:

"You don't even know her background, why are you suddenly offering to help?"

"We met in Xia City-State. Luo Qi was there at the time. She said that this girl was of the same kind as you. She originally wanted to invite her to the office, but she refused at the time..."

"Besides, if I help her now, she will be more likely to tell me where the things are. I guess I want to try to take over this deal."

Xia Ye explained in a low voice.

Of course, he definitely couldn't tell Anke the other reasons.

"But...but..." An Ke pursed her lips, not knowing how to refute.

Xia Ye has a unique charm. What if this white-haired girl falls in love with him and pesters him after he helps her?

"Okay, An Ke, be good. It's okay." Xia Ye didn't know what the little girl was thinking. She just thought that she was concerned about her. She pinched Shui Ling's little face and spoke softly.

"Then...then you are not allowed to have sex with her."

Unexpectedly, the anxious little girl said something shocking.

After being stunned for two seconds, Xia Ye said with a smile: "What are you thinking about... Let's talk about business."

"I do not care……"

"Okay, okay - I promise you..." Xia Ye agreed helplessly, touched An Ke's head and walked forward.

Qilisi had already written the note and handed it to Xia Ye as soon as he approached.

"I have no money, and my strength is very weak now, so I can't give you anything..."

The pitiful words were written in gorgeous fonts. Qilisi looked at Xia Ye aggrievedly, not knowing what to do.

"It's okay. You may have information that I really need. I think we should talk about this. Don't rush to run this time."

Xia Ye smiled and comforted the other person.

This girl seems to be an independent person who doesn't like to take advantage of others. If I show too much enthusiasm rashly, she might be unwilling to accept it.

"What information?" The note came over quickly.

"I want to know where you got that white crystal."

Hearing this, Qilisi's whole body tensed up, as if this topic was a little sensitive to her.

After hesitating for a while, she glanced at Anke who was watching her closely not far away and Dopley who was eavesdropping on her side, and shook her head.

"Can't you tell me?" Xia Ye frowned slightly.

Another note was handed over.

"I don't want anyone else to hear this. I only trust you now because you know how it is really used."

hear?

After reading the note, Xia Ye raised his eyebrows.

Then he took a deep breath, smiled bitterly, looked at An Ke and said:

"Well, Anke, can I take her back to the hotel? I need to talk to her privately."

45. Sit at the same table with Leah Karen

"Hey, little Anke and Xia Ye are back from their date?" As soon as the door opened, Karen joked when she saw Anke returning to the hotel.

Just now she was chatting with Fiti about why these two people had been out for so long. They had completed their supply mission for a long time but hadn't seen them yet.

"It looks like he's not very happy." Jinelle glanced at the door and said something coldly.

"What's wrong, Anke..." Fiti asked with some concern.

"Idiot Xia Ye! A yellow fire hydrant who can't walk when he sees a pretty girl! A dead stud who thinks with his lower body!"

Hearing the different greetings from the three people, An Ke became furious. He stomped his feet into the room and slammed the door shut.

"Xia Ye is like this, he just needs to flirt with girls, but the girls being flirted with have to think more."

Karen understood and said "comfort" earnestly.

"Don't ever talk to him again! From now on, even if Xia Ye is eaten by a monster, I won't shed a tear or get anxious for a second!"

"So which pretty girl did you hook up with again?" Karen asked curiously.

"Who else could it be? It must be the one from that night! I knew they had a complicated relationship! She was guarding Xia Ye even though she couldn't protect herself at that time!"

An Ke lay straight on the bed, buried her little face in the pillow and said dully.
