Chapter 2555 Take me with you, I will protect you!
"What can I do for you?"
After hearing Jiujiu's words, Ling Tian did not agree in a hurry, but spoke softly, wanting to know what Jiujiu needed him to do.
After all, according to Ling Tian's understanding of Jiujiu, she is a person who will do anything to achieve her own goals.
Before, when they were in the Holy Mountain, Jiujiu did a lot of strange things in order to get Ling Tian to take her to Weicheng.
Therefore, Ling Tian knew that he could not be careless with Jiujiu. At least he had to figure out what she needed before giving her his answer.
However, Jiujiu shook her head upon hearing this: "I can't tell you this for now. You just need to understand that I have no ill will towards you. Otherwise, I would have attacked you back at the Holy Mountain. I'm only looking for you now because I see a glimmer of hope in you."
"I used to think that when you came to Licheng, you would be killed by the city lord and unable to move forward. But I found that you not only gained the support of the human warriors in Licheng, but you also haven't attracted the attention of the city lord. So I want to cooperate with you and see your ending. So... let's work together."
After saying this, Jiujiu stretched out her hand and looked at Ling Tian with a smile on her face.
Ling Tian looked down at Jiujiu's outstretched right hand, then shook his head: "If you don't tell me what I need to do, I can't possibly agree to it. Absolutely not."
Ling Tian's words and actions left Jiujiu slightly stunned. Looking at him, a helpless smile appeared on her face as she said, "You...are you so afraid of being at a disadvantage? Or do you think I'm bound to cheat you?"
"I don't know." Ling Tian shook his head. "But I won't agree to something I don't know. Even if you don't want to cheat me, even if you have no ill will towards me, I still need to know the truth. This is my bottom line, so... I can't agree to you."
After hearing this, Jiujiu couldn't help laughing.
Thinking about how Ling Tian was so cautious when they were in the Holy Mountain, Jiujiu became dissatisfied with Ling Tian.
And now, it is still the same. Ling Tian is still so cautious and still so distrustful of himself.
After a moment's thought, Jiujiu nodded. "Okay, I can tell you. Actually, I need you to take me to the central city. Before we get there, I will provide you with help without asking for anything in return. Once we get there, we'll go our separate ways."
"Of course, after we arrive at Central City, if we become enemies, you can attack me directly. I won't have any complaints against you. But before we leave Licheng and reach Central City, I hope you can take me with you. That's all I ask."
Jiujiu spoke softly and directly stated her needs.
After hearing this, Ling Tian's eyes flashed with doubt, and then he asked curiously, "Take you to Central City? Didn't you say before that you wanted to stay in Weicheng? Why do you want to go to Central City now?"
"This has nothing to do with you." Jiujiu shook her head. "You don't need to know the reason. Anyway, you can rest assured that before we reach Central City, I will never attack you or do anything to harm you. On the contrary, I will protect you. What do you think? Are you willing?"
Jiujiu's words made Ling Tian slightly stunned. To be honest, he was full of confusion and didn't know why Jiujiu did this.
According to her previous statements, she actually had no desire for the Central City. When she was in the Holy Mountain, she expressed that she had no interest in the Central City.
On the other hand, now she suddenly proposed to go to the central city, and to follow Ling Tian and protect Ling Tian, which made Ling Tian a little puzzled.
If a person's thoughts suddenly change, it is obvious that something has happened, or that she has some advantageous purpose. So what benefit can she get from it?
Did she really want to go to Central City?
Just as Ling Tian was thinking, Jiujiu continued, "I know you won't understand why I suddenly asked you to take me to Central City, but I have my own things to do, so I hope you can agree to it. After all, this won't do you any harm."
"Yes." Ling Tian nodded after hearing this. "What you said is indeed not harmful to me, but... your sudden change is very concerning to me. I'm afraid you have other motives."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Ling Tian's words made Jiujiu burst out laughing. She looked at Ling Tian and shook her head, "You, you, sometimes being too cautious can actually affect your future. You can rest assured. I'm not changing to do anything bad to you. I just have something I need to do."
"You'll know about this when you get to Central City, but now isn't the right time. So, I hope you can agree to it and take me with you to Central City. We can make the rest of the decision later. What do you think?"
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she extended her hand once more, looked at Ling Tian, and whispered softly, "I really have no ill will towards you!"
"Okay!" This time, Ling Tian didn't refuse. Instead, he stretched out his hand and gently shook it with Jiujiu. "Since you've said that, I might as well take a gamble. After all, it's definitely safer with you by my side. I can take you with me, no problem."
"Happy cooperation!"
When Jiujiu saw Ling Tian agreed, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Ling Tian also responded with a smile.
After the two of them agreed to cooperate, Ling Tiancai let go of Jiujiu's hand, sat down on a chair beside him, and said, "Then what about attacking the Lord of Licheng? Do you have the confidence that you can suppress him?"
"That's no problem." Jiujiu nodded. "Suppressing him won't be a problem. After all, his four guardians are quite powerful. I'm no match for them. If you can take care of them for me, I can kill the city lord. So... the key link still lies with you."
"Are the Four Dharma Protectors that powerful?" Ling Tian raised an eyebrow, unable to resist his curiosity. "What abilities do those four demon beasts possess that make you so fearful? I remember you said at the time that there was a terrifying existence behind the Holy Mountain. That must be the current City Lord, right?"
"Yes, you're not wrong about that." Jiujiu smiled helplessly and said, "Back then, I was defeated by the four guardians. Although those four monsters didn't show their true strength, one of them left me with no chance of resistance and completely crushed me."
"Oh? So powerful?" Ling Tian said with surprise in his eyes, "Then what exactly is the power of that demon beast you mentioned? Even you are no match for it."
"Creating an illusion!" Jiujiu frowned slightly. "It can trap you in an illusion, and you'll never be able to escape!"
