Weiran’s eyes widened slightly as she stared blankly at Nuo Ai’er, who was asking a serious question across from her.
‘Could this child possibly…’
“What, are you planning to go out and latch onto someone else’s thigh?” Weiran asked.
This guess was reasonable. After all, in Weiran’s eyes, Nuo Ai’er was just a kid with no innate talent and looked silly.
But without innate talent, one couldn’t go far in the treacherous Inner World, especially when targeted by a Witch.
Weiran couldn’t always be by Nuo Ai’er’s side. Therefore, joining a Guild to latch onto a powerful player was indeed the smartest and safest way to survive.
“That does sound like a choice you’d make.” Weiran teased.
“What’s with that?” Nuo Ai’er listened to Weiran’s teasing, puffed her cheeks slightly, and silently complained in her heart.
‘What thigh-latching? She’s making it sound like I’m a powerless, dumb loli who would cry for a long time if punched.’
She actually had another reason for wanting to join a Guild. Nuo Ai’er stated her real consideration: “It’s not really about latching onto a powerful player. It’s mainly that solo instances are too easy to be targeted.”
Ka Fei’s underhanded targeting wouldn’t end here… As long as the System judged Nuo Ai’er as a solo player, it would assign solo instances or PvP instances—there was no pattern.
And solo instances were the best places for Ka Fei to make a move. That was the most fatal hidden danger… But—
“If I join a proper Guild, I can form a team with guild members to take on team instances.”
No matter how high Ka Fei’s authority was, she couldn’t set up a deadlock for Nuo Ai’er and her teammates together.
That was Nuo Ai’er’s core goal. As for latching onto a powerful player… well, Alexia was indeed a powerful player.
“Don’t worry, the people I know are reliable. I’m not just randomly latching onto some stranger powerful player,” Nuo Ai’er explained.
With Emilia and Leinata, two Demon Kings, as her double guardians, joining a Guild would also be much more convenient.
Following them was absolutely a thousand times safer than wandering alone. She also wouldn’t have to die so many times.
“I see…” After hearing Nuo Ai’er’s explanation, Weiran’s eyes flickered with surprise. She took another serious look at the little loli in front of her, unable to help sighing inwardly.
‘I really underestimated this kid.’ She had thought it was just a timid, socially anxious little shut-in. But in this short time, she had quietly built up her own network.
Weiran: ‘This little one is indeed not simple.’ Weiran silently praised in her heart. But the next second, a bold idea suddenly popped into her mind.
Weiran: ‘Oh… come to think of it, this kid’s appearance is too deceiving. Snow-white hair, red eyes, soft and cute, looking harmless and adorable, a loli-like appearance that makes people want to protect her. In the Inner World, this top-tier cute looks are quite popular.’
“You’re not telling me you used this super cute loli body to trick a guild’s powerful player into letting you join, are you?”
“…ah”
Nuo Ai’er was stunned.
“What kind of thunderous question is that? (“
“No way” Nuo Ai’er would never do something like selling her cute little body.
‘…But wait, this little loli body could be used for that? (wandering thoughts)’
“Alright, alright, I’m just kidding.” Weiran stopped teasing at the appropriate moment, then gave her permission in a relaxed tone: “If you want to join a Guild, go ahead. You don’t have to be bound by me now. You’re free to do as you please.”
Getting Weiran’s explicit permission, Nuo Ai’er instantly felt a huge relief, the stone hanging in her heart completely dropped. She felt light-hearted. Since that was the case…
Nuo Ai’er suddenly remembered something important, quickly looked at Weiran, and carefully confirmed: “So, do I not have any debt now?”
Earlier, Weiran had said that the thousand-Point redemption contract was void, no need to repay, and she could go home anytime. If she didn’t have to repay, then she was free, completely debt-free, right?
“No.” Weiran answered.
Nuo Ai’er: “???”
Weiran: “You just voluntarily refused to return to Earth. The condition for the contract to be voided was that you choose to go home immediately. Since our little Nuo Ai’er herself gave up the chance to return and chose to stay in the Inner World…”
Weiran laughed lightly: “Then the original vassal debt contract automatically continues to take effect.”
“?!!”
That meant Nuo Ai’er still owed a thousand Points?
“What the—” Nuo Ai’er started to say two words.
“Oh dear, it seems the dream is about to collapse.”
Weiran finished speaking and smiled. The moment her words fell—the cloud beneath Nuo Ai’er’s feet disappeared.
Nuo Ai’er: “Eh?”
The next second, the white-haired little loli’s body suddenly felt light, and she fell straight down into the endless sea of clouds without any warning!
“Eeek!”
Nuo Ai’er crashed.
