233: Isn't this free?

When Shen Mo spoke, Yuan Tianyin, on the other side, silently observed him without a sound.

She was still evaluating the truthfulness of the matter.

But Shen Mo couldn't wait for her to slowly make a decision.

He wondered, what if he wasn't allowed to wander out freely every time?

What if he wasn't allowed out after returning this time?

Moreover, the security here was clearly very strict.

If he left this time, who could guarantee he'd be able to come a second time?

Therefore, he directly said, "The young lady doesn't know, but my master's escape from the Wanmu Clan actually hides a shocking secret."

"The people on this pirate ship now want to know this secret."

"We must leave as soon as possible."

"If you want me to do anything, decide quickly."

"Otherwise, after tonight, we will leave!"

When Shen Mo finished speaking, Yuan Tianyin's heart was shaken.

She naturally knew that the Octopus person taking Shen Mo and his group onto the ship definitely had other intentions.

If nothing unexpected happened, they probably intended to harm them.

Given this, if she didn't make a decision soon, Shen Mo and his group would probably leave.

"Aren't you afraid I'll tell them about this?"

Through the window, she asked indifferently.

What a joke!

Shen Mo was speechless.

He replied, "Does the young lady think they'll believe her if she tells them?"

"What if I say the young lady is trying to coerce me to help you escape, and then turns around and bites back?"

"At that time, the young lady's crime of wanting to escape will be exposed!"

Yuan Tianyin: "..."

"How shameless!"

Minglan couldn't help but exclaim in her heart.

What kind of crime exposed?!

He was clearly biting back, saying they wanted to escape—did that even count?!

She whispered to Yuan Tianyin, "Young lady, should we still not believe him?"

"This person is so insidious!"

Damn it?!

Who are you calling insidious, you little brat?!

Wasn't this the hypothesis you yourselves proposed?

Upon hearing that small sound, Shen Mo was instantly furious.

And as he thought this, Yuan Tianyin on the other side made a decision.

"Alright, I believe you."

She reached out, her fair, tender fingers holding a vibrant green feather.

"If you have a chance to escape, show this vibrant green feather to the Yin Feng Clan people, and they will naturally come to rescue me."

When Yuan Tianyin finished speaking, Shen Mo waited a moment, and when he heard no more, he cried out in disbelief, "That's it?!"

When he said this, Yuan Tianyin was stunned for a moment, a bewildered look on her face, then she asked with some confusion, "What do you mean, 'that's it'?"

What else was there?

She had too little experience with worldly affairs and was somewhat at a loss for how to react.

Had she said something wrong?

Yuan Tianyin thought this, then reviewed her words again, finding no problems!

And while her face was bewildered and confused, Shen Mo on the other side was speechless.

"Payment! Payment!"

He looked at the direction of Yuan Tianyin and Minglan with some suspicion, wondering if they intended to default on the payment.

Who asks for help without paying?

Especially for such a dangerous task as delivering a message!

Did Shen Mo seek out Yuan Tianyin and her group just because they were pretty?!

Of course not!

It was because they could be used; they were from a country!

Yet, they actually wanted him to work for free—how could that be allowed?!

This was a life-threatening job!

When Shen Mo spoke, Minglan on the other side was somewhat incredulous, "What payment?"

"Weren't you helping us deliver the message for free?"

He had clearly come to them himself, offering to help them.

Neither the mistress nor the servant had expected that Shen Mo would actually charge money for his services!

He took the initiative to offer help, so... shouldn't it be free?

"Of course, it costs money!"

Shen Mo was speechless.

"My taking the initiative to help doesn't mean I don't get paid, does it?"

"I'm just a humble Wood Slave! Am I supposed to risk my life just to earn a little gratitude from you?"

"Who do you think I am?"

"Lei Feng?!"

When Shen Mo spoke, Yuan Tianyin and Minglan fell silent.

Their minds were a bit muddled.

So, this Wood Slave didn't recognize their identities and voluntarily want to help them escape?

He wanted to... make money?!

Yuan Tianyin struggled to sort out her thoughts, then said, "You just told me so much, just to be able to..."

"Get paid!" Shen Mo said as a matter of course.

Could it be to flirt with them?

He also needed a price to save people, okay?

When Shen Mo spoke, Yuan Tianyin became even more silent.

And Minglan beside her stood with her hands on her hips, speaking to him arrogantly, "How can you take money from our young lady?!"

"Do you know who our young lady is?!"

Just one casual word from her could bring him countless benefits!

Minglan had also never met someone as peculiar as Shen Mo!

So, he had been talking to them for a long time just to do business with them—this was simply unbearable!

When had their young lady ever suffered such indignity?!

She was the little princess of the Yin Feng Clan!

"I don't care who she is!"

Shen Mo looked utterly bewildered; even if the other party was a celestial fairy, they still had to pay, okay?!

His wife, back then, was so beautiful, rich, and powerful, yet she still gave him whatever he wanted, let him use everything!

His wife gave him money, so why shouldn't the other party?

Minglan was infuriated by him.

This person truly was a Wood Slave, knowing nothing!

As stupid as a pig!

It was much better to ask for a promise from the young lady than money, didn't he know that?!

He was stubbornly clinging to money!

Meanwhile, Yuan Tianyin, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief, then said to Shen Mo, "Alright, I'll give it to you!"

"Three Soul Force Crystals."

"These three Soul Force Crystals were condensed by me personally, enough to elevate the little grass on top of your head."

"Help me deliver this letter to Fengming Port, to a person named Yuan Feng."

When she said this, she immediately flipped her hand and took out a letter.

This time, the vibrant green phoenix feather in her hand was put away by her.

A restriction had been placed on that vibrant green phoenix feather by her; if Shen Mo did not take this vibrant green phoenix feather off the ship, this green phoenix feather would explode.

And what she had told Shen Mo earlier was not false.

This green phoenix feather was indeed one of her tokens, but holding this green phoenix feather, he would not be able to meet Yuan Feng or the people of the Yin Feng Clan.

Shen Mo did not have the ability or the strength to meet those people.

But now, holding her letter, he had that qualification.

In other words, from the very beginning, Yuan Tianyin had not trusted Shen Mo.

Even when he was talking so grandly, she had not given up on testing him.

And this letter was her true token and cry for help!
