Mina blushed and quickly left the tent, without even giving her a chance to explain. This really made Li Xiao very depressed. He originally thought it was just a small mistake he made unintentionally, but paying a fine gold stone was already very, very sincere.
.
Unexpectedly, Mina seemed dissatisfied with the compensation for an adamantine stone.
"This is a thousand gold coins. Many people who change jobs can only make so much money in ten days and a half. If I had known, I would have paid her a gold coin directly. She said so herself anyway."
Li Xiao muttered indignantly, but then he thought about it. When he rushed to rescue people last night, he had indeed stared at the person for a long time, and then he had fallen asleep in a daze before and extended his claws to the other person.
No matter how you say it, you are at fault.
"Do you want to add another piece of mithril ore as compensation? This should be enough, right?" He was wondering if he should find a chance to apologize.
However, after setting off, he never had the chance to be alone with Mina. The girl seemed to always avoid him deliberately, but she didn't look angry.
Every time he took a break, he always took Yaman and hid in the distance, muttering something, and looking at him from time to time, which made Li Xiao feel uncomfortable all over. He could only bury his head in the rush and hope it could end as soon as possible.
This is an embarrassing journey.
…
However, after nightfall, Mina actually acted extraordinarily close to Li Xiao when they had dinner together. She actually prepared a very exquisite fruit salad for Li Xiao, and then sat down next to Li Xiao. It seemed that this girl really didn't want any compensation, but
It's because of yourself.
This matter really made Li Xiao very entangled. Things like love disappear quickly, especially love caused by a misunderstanding. Nine times out of ten, there will be no good results.
Therefore, when Mina started to take the initiative to approach, Li Xiao became a little timid. He made an excuse that he didn't like eating fruit very much and preferred to eat barbecue and stay away from it, so as not to get deeper into the situation.
It's just that Li Xiao deliberately avoided it, but Mina became more and more proactive. The more proactive Mina became, the more Li Xiao deliberately avoided it...
Mina was also confused about Li Xiao's changes. She couldn't figure out what she had done wrong. However, as a melon-eater, Yaman figured out the general situation. The captain gave the adamantine stone, which was not to Mina at all.
The proposal was a complete misunderstanding.
…
"Mina, you should wake up. The captain probably doesn't like you."
"How is it possible? The captain must also like me...otherwise why would he still call my name in the dream?"
"You thought that calling Nana meant calling you. Maybe the captain was calling Luna."
Yaman's words really made Mina feel like she was waking up from a dream.
"Could it be that I am doing all this on my own?"
"What if?"
"...Then why did the captain give me the Adamantite Stone?"
"At that time, you clamored for compensation. The captain is a very, very generous person, so he compensated you a thousand gold coins. If you were really willing to accept it, you might be directly blacklisted by the captain, and you will never see him again in the future.
It’s possible to form a team.”
"Oh my God, no wonder the captain has been deliberately avoiding me in the past two days. It turns out he thinks of me as a greedy and bad woman."
"It's not too late to know now. Don't do things that make people laugh in the future."
"...Fortunately, I didn't collect the adamantine stone. If I had collected it, I might have been asked to join the team by the captain." Mina said with some fear.
"That's not true. The captain still attaches great importance to his promise. Since he said he would send us to the royal city, he will definitely send us to the royal city before disbanding the team. But it will be difficult to form a team with the captain again in the future."
After Mina communicated with her, she finally stopped pestering Li Xiao, which made Li Xiao feel more at ease.
It's just that people's hearts are so strange. The other party finally stops bothering them, but they still feel a little disappointed.
It is of course impossible to say that he is not interested in the sexy and charming Mina at all, otherwise he would not have dreamed about her, but due to various concerns, he really did not dare to have that idea.
It is too strange for me to appear in this world, and maybe I have some kind of mission. If I really can't resist the temptation and give up my ever-growing obsession, I may be given up by the mysterious system of heaven.
The result would definitely not be good, either he would be sent directly back to his hometown and continue to be the same person lying on the hospital bed waiting to die, or even worse, be directly obliterated by the Tiandao system.
There is really nothing more important in the world than living well, so you must never give up your persistence to become stronger no matter what.
Unless you reach the top level in the world in the future, there is really no room for growth, so it would be safer to consider living a comfortable and comfortable life.
…
Along the way, it was as if he had turned into a fighting machine without any emotions. Apart from killing monsters, he was always on the road. Even the occasional breaks were spent in constant exercise and study, without the slightest thought of improving the relationship with Menayaman.
On the sixth day, we finally arrived outside the dark forest successfully, but it was already evening.
If I were alone, of course I could just break in, but now with two rookies from the Elf tribe, the strength of the monsters in the dark forest skyrocketed after nightfall, and it was really difficult for me and the two of them to walk through the dark forest safely.
"Let's rest here for the night first, and then enter the dark forest tomorrow morning." He hesitated slightly while standing outside the dark forest, but gave up the plan of taking the two girls into the dark forest at night.
"Captain, will the monsters in the dark forest come out at night? Would it be safer for the three of us to rest together at night?" Mina still reluctantly approached Li Xiao and asked nervously.
"I don't need to rest... Well, you guys quickly set up camp and I'll go clean up the monsters in the surrounding area." He said and rushed towards a stone giant monster spawning point in the distance.
"Yaman, I'm completely out of luck. The captain really hates me... You better work hard." Looking at Li Xiao walking away, Mina also completely gave up her plan to further improve her relationship with Li Xiao.
"Don't be so pessimistic. I don't think Captain Xu really hates you. Otherwise, every time you encountered the slightest danger along the way, the Captain wouldn't immediately help you. He's just not used to you being too close to him.
That’s all.”
"...You don't let me get close to you. Doesn't that mean you hate me?"
"Everyone's habits are different. Maybe it's the captain's habit... Otherwise, you can make a fruit salad for the captain later. If the captain eats it, he will probably forgive you."
"You make one too."
"Why?"
"Lest we all be annihilated, if you and the captain form a long-term team in the future and the team becomes prosperous, you have to take care of me. We have agreed before that we will advance and retreat together."
"...Okay, I will make one with you."
After the two quickly set up the tent, they prepared a fruit feast at the same time and quietly waited for Li Xiaoqing to return.
Chapter completed!
