I asked you to practice physical skills, not to open the Eight Gates!

Chapter 89, Just give me some crystal cores, there will still be rewards
Shenxia Alliance Headquarters.

"The hero is back?"

Seeing Li Yang, Zhao Changfeng joked.

"Brother Feng, are you healed?"

"I'm well now, but it's a pity that I didn't get to see you kill the Titan Python and the Toad King with my own eyes." Zhao Changfeng only learned about Li Yang's battle record later.

With his own strength, he turned the entire battle situation around and killed the two beast kings.

So awesome!

"I risked my life to kill him. I lost at least half my life in this battle. Moreover, many of his methods were one-time only and could not be used later." Li Yang said.

Apart from the fact that the experience card for the Samsara Eye had ended, he actually didn't suffer much loss.

But how can you win sympathy if you don’t describe it in a more miserable way?
"We know you've worked hard, and we're still planning on organizing an award ceremony for you." Chi Xiangguang said with a smile.

"Forget about the ceremony. I don't like those kinds of occasions where I have to show up in public. It would be better to just give me some practical rewards." Li Yang rubbed his palms.

"Then what reward do you want?"

"Crystal core."

"Crystal core?"

"Yes, monster crystal cores, no matter their levels, the more the better, I want them all." The only things Li Yang cares about are crystal cores, the others are useless.

"What do you need so many crystal cores for?" Chi Xiangguang wondered.

Crystal cores have a wide range of uses, such as inlaying weapons, armor, charging cannons, barrier formations, puppets, etc., but they cannot be absorbed directly.

Therefore, although the uses of crystal cores are very wide, there is a certain upper limit to everyone's needs.

If it is a legion or an alliance, they can also explain using crystal cores to make crystal core weapons, charged cannons, and so on.

Li Yang wanted so many crystal cores, and Chi Xiangguang couldn't think of what to do with them.

Is he planning to establish his own territory?
"President, please don't ask me what use the crystal core has for me. This is my reward. This request should not be excessive, right?" Li Yang said.

"Okay, I won't ask any more questions. As for the crystal cores you want, I have to count them and make up for the consumption of Dusk City and the various legions. I'll see how many are in excess and then tell you."

Chi Xiangguang handled things from the position of president of the Shenxia Alliance.

Although Li Yang made the greatest contribution, the various legions also made indispensable contributions.

Crystal cores are important strategic materials. In this war, each legion consumed a large amount of crystal cores, so of course they had to replenish their losses first.

Fortunately, in this war, all the monsters that died had crystal cores, and they have basically been collected and are being distributed now, so there should be quite a few left over.

"By the way, if you have time, you can go and see the girl with the power of curse. She seems to only recognize you, and she looks very haggard these days." Chi Xiangguang said.

Gu Qingqing?
After the war started, Gu Qingqing was locked up and guarded by someone special.

After all, she is a cursed body, so even with Li Yang's sealing technique, she cannot be completely at ease.

It would be even more troublesome if the cursed body erupted when facing the attack of the beast tide.

"Okay, I'll go see her then."

Li Yang immediately left the conference room and went to where Gu Qingqing was imprisoned.

……

Still the same room.

All the curtains were drawn and the lights were off. Although it was daytime, the room was as dark as night.

Li Yang saw the girl curled up in the corner of the bed, hugging her knees and looking ahead with lifeless eyes. He didn't know whether she was in a daze or thinking about something.

"Qingqing?"

Li Yang called out softly, pulling the girl back to her senses.

Hearing this, the girl slowly looked up.

"I turned on the light, didn't I?"

Li Yang first asked, and when he was not refused, he turned on the light.

The bright light instantly illuminated the entire room, as well as Gu Qingqing.

Gu Qingqing was seen sitting there hugging her knees, her pretty face looking haggard and her eyes dull, like a walking corpse with no meaning in life.

She is obviously a young girl in her prime, but she has a haggardness and loneliness that does not belong to her age.

It was as if the noise of the whole world had nothing to do with her, she just curled up in her own little world. Li Yang felt distressed just watching her.

"Qingqing, I'm back, are you okay?"

Li Yang walked over and sat down beside the bed, keeping a certain safe distance.

Gu Qingqing didn't say anything. She looked at him with her lonely eyes, which slowly began to brighten.

Then, she crawled over little by little, and finally couldn't help but throw herself into Li Yang's arms, crying softly.

Her body couldn't stop shaking and sobbing, crying out all the grievances she had suffered in the past few days.

In this strange place, only Li Yang can give her a sense of security.

Gu Qingqing was unwilling to believe anyone except Li Yang.

Li Yang patted her back gently to soothe her mood.

He knew the fear and tension in Gu Qingqing's heart.

The days of wandering and fleeing left an indelible mark in her heart.

This made her extremely insecure and she didn't trust anyone around her.

Li Yang gained her trust due to some coincidences.

Otherwise, Gu Qingqing would have fallen out with the Shenxia Alliance long ago during her time there.

After crying for a long time, Gu Qingqing's emotions slowly calmed down.

She raised her head, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and silently left Li Yang's arms, keeping a distance.

"Do you feel better after crying? Do you want to go out for a walk with me?" Li Yang said.

Gu Qingqing raised her head and asked cautiously, "Is it okay?"

"Yeah, sure."

The girl nodded, quickly stood up, put on her shoes, and left the room with Li Yang.

The two guards at the door saw Gu Qingqing coming out and hurriedly stopped her.
"Li Yang, the president ordered that she cannot leave the room."

"Is it impossible even if I'm here?" Li Yang glanced at them.

The guard was a little embarrassed: "But we haven't received the president's order yet..."

"Go find the president now and tell him that I want to take Qingqing out for a walk. I'll be waiting for you here."

Li Yang did not make things difficult for them, after all, they were just following orders.

"Okay, then wait a minute."

A guard left immediately.

After a while, he came back with Chi Xiangguang's order and said to another guard,
"The president said they can be allowed to leave."

"Then go ahead."

The two guards stopped trying.

"Thank you."

……

Li Yang took Gu Qingqing and left the Shenxia Alliance.

After breathing in the fresh air from the outside again, Gu Qingqing's eyes became brighter and she kept looking at the scenery around her.

In fact, this is a very common street building.

But for her, being able to walk peacefully on a busy street full of people is a luxury in itself.

She had forgotten how long it had been since she had walked openly on the street like this.

Li Yang looked at the light in her eyes and felt more and more sympathy for this poor girl.

There are still too many miserable people in this world.

Li Yang took Gu Qingqing for a casual stroll in the Holy City, and then he received a message from Chi Xiangguang - the crystal cores had been distributed, and he was asked to go back.
