Luo Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of realization as he looked at the man with triangle eyes standing before him. This man's gaze revealed a trace of embarrassment and anticipation. Triangle Eyes' attire was far from luxurious, even somewhat shabby, completely different from the image of a wealthy young man Luo Chen had imagined. He wondered if this man could be a descendant of a once-prominent family now fallen on hard times? In desperate need of money, hence considering joining a female team to collaborate in hunting Dark Demons for profit?
Carefree Meng Lan evidently noticed Triangle Eyes' embarrassment as well. Her expression gradually softened from cold hardness. She glanced at Ling Yueyaya and then at the displeased Ling Yueyun and Ling Yue Mu standing nearby, seemingly weighing something in her mind. Finally, she asked, "Are you really sure you don't want that Spirit Pearl?"
Triangle Eyes nodded firmly, "Yes, if you're willing to lend me a hand, I'm even willing to give you thirty percent of the Golden Soul Coins I sell." He paused for a moment, then added, "However, we must clarify in advance, if anything wrong happens, we cannot take any responsibility."
These words made Luo Chen even more convinced of his suspicion — this guy indeed desperately needed funds. He pondered silently while closely observing Carefree Meng Lan's reaction.
Carefree Meng Lan was clearly moved by Triangle Eyes' proposal. She turned to Ling Yueyaya, seemingly seeking her opinion, "Yaya, what do you think?"
Ling Yueyaya playfully smiled and replied, "I don't mind, as long as Sister Naxue doesn't ask me to be the bait."
Upon hearing this, Carefree Meng Lan's expression subtly changed, obviously a bit concerned, "But if you're not the bait, then I..."
"Oh dear, I was just joking with you," Ling Yueyaya interrupted her, laughing cheekily, "Such things are naturally suited for a charming beauty like me. Right, little brother Luo Chen, don't you think?" Saying this, she intentionally winked her lively almond-shaped eyes at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen, being teased like this, blushed instantly, awkwardly lowering his head, not knowing how to respond.
Triangle Eyes, however, was overjoyed. He promptly patted his chest and said exuberantly, "Don't worry, we others will definitely protect your safety in the shadows. Miss, just go ahead — even if it costs my life, I'll ensure your safety!"
With his words, the other four team members also expressed agreement, nodding in support. Although they seemed inconspicuous, they exhibited rare unity and determination at this moment.
Seeing this, Luo Chen's doubts were considerably alleviated. He lifted his head, met Ling Yueyaya's gaze, and smiled slightly, showing his support. Carefree Meng Lan, upon witnessing the team's reaction, finally made up her mind, took a deep breath, and nodded resolutely.
"Alright then, let's decide this way. Triangle Eyes, I hope you will keep your promise," Carefree Meng Lan said.
Triangle Eyes hurriedly nodded affirmatively, revealing a relieved smile. He knew he had found the right people this time, and the forthcoming cooperation might bring unexpected rewards for both sides.
As the group's discussion settled, an invisible cohesiveness began to spread within the team. Though they came from different backgrounds, they now shared a mutual goal and anticipation. The Dark Demon hunting operation quietly commenced amidst such an atmosphere.
Ling Yueyaya waved her hand lightly with a mischievous smile, "Don't rush to promise me just yet. If I accidentally encounter some trouble later on, anyone among you should take responsibility for me~" Her words carried a joking tone, yet seemed to hide some deeper meaning.
Upon hearing this, Triangle Eyes opened his mouth wide, at a loss for how to respond. He scratched his head, awkwardly smiling, evidently not fully grasping the hidden meaning in Ling Yueyaya's words.
Ling Yueyaya, meanwhile, gave Luo Chen a meaningful glance, her eyes shimmering with cunning. She seemed to be hinting at something, yet said nothing explicit. With a playful laugh, she turned and walked gracefully ahead, leaving the others exchanging puzzled looks.
Carefree Meng Lan noticed Triangle Eyes' confused expression and smiled as she explained, "That's just her style; she always loves to joke. But, let's hurry and follow along, so she doesn't wander off too far alone."
Triangle Eyes nodded, quickly composing himself, and led everyone forward, "Since we've settled this, you guys will be responsible for leading the way then." He glanced at Ling Yueyaya, who had already walked away, then turned to Carefree Meng Lan.
