Connie took a few deep breaths before she managed to stay calm and regain some composure.

A thought-provoking light flashed across her eyes.

She knew that she had to make a decision now.

She slowly walked to the front of Feng Buhuo and placed her left hand on her chest.

Then, in front of Leng Hanyan and the others, she bowed to Feng Buhuo.

Leng Hanyan and the others were stunned.

This was a kind of etiquette of the elves.

Usually, they would only do this kind of etiquette in front of higher-level leaders.

Although Buhuo Feng and the others didn’t know the elves’ etiquette, they could sense what Connie was trying to express.

“What are you doing?”

Feng Buhuo frowned. Being so humble was out of character for Princess Connie.

“Your Excellency, Connie once again apologize to you.”

Connie straightened her body and her gaze fell on Feng Buhuo.

From time to time, she would secretly glance at the laid-back Little Fiery on his shoulder.

After witnessing Little Fiery’s powerful strength, when she looked at this dragon whelp closely, she could not help but feel surging waves of shock in her heart.

“It was all Connie’s fault. I offended you with my words. I hope you can forgive me.”

“I also want to thank you for helping me. Without you, I’m afraid Connie would be dead by now.”

“No, you’re wrong. Without us, you would have been dead when you were attacked by those half-orcs.”

Feng Buhuo waved his hand impatiently and interrupted her.

“Moreover, you didn’t say that before. Did you forget that you said we were overthinking things?”

“So please don’t misunderstand this time. We’re not trying to save you, we’re just trying to save ourselves.”

Connie’s face instantly turned red. She wanted to find a hole to hide in.

But when she thought of her guards, not knowing whether they were dead or alive, she felt a burst of strength.

“You are angry, Connie understands.”

“But Connie does need your help with something. As long as you can help, Connie will definitely give you a generous gift!”

“Forget it, we don’t want to get involved in your matters!”

Feng Buhuo directly rejected her.

He did not want to have anything to do with Princess Connie anymore.

“Let’s go.”

Feng Buhuo walked past Connie and waved his hand.

Leng Hanyan, Little Fatty and the others saw this gesture and quickly followed behind.

This Princess Connie is really something. She provoked such a terrifying opponent for us.

If it wasn’t for Little Fiery’s astonishing power, we would have all died here today.

It was already good enough that she didn’t throw her temper at us, but she still had the cheek to ask us for help?

Connie saw that Feng Buhuo didn’t waver at all and directly left. She was instantly shocked.

This was her only hope now.

If she still couldn’t grab hold of it, then it would be true despair.

Thus, she quickly walked in front of no doubts and stretched out her arms to block his path.

“Listen to me…”

Feng Buhuo’s expression immediately darkened when he was blocked by her.

Little Fatty, who was behind him, could not hold it in any longer. He directly walked up and pointed at Connie and started scolding her.

“What are you trying to do? We’ve already said that we won’t help you.”

“Why are you still like a piece of tape, sticking on us like that!”

Connie was instantly stunned.

Since she was young, when had she ever been scolded like this?

Her eyes were filled with tears.

She lowered her head and said slowly.

“Do you know what we are fighting with the half-orcs for?”

Connie’s voice was very soft, and there was even a hint of crying in it.

However, when Feng Buhuo heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Leng Hanyan and the others immediately became interested.

In fact, they were all very interested in this thing.

To be able to cause these two races to fight, this thing was a treasure.

It was probably even more valuable than the resources found in the entire half-orcs’ camp!

Otherwise, the half-orcs would not have left behind their defences and gone all out to surround Connie and her elves.

Seeing their reactions, Connie naturally understood everything.

She could not help but sigh as if she had made up her mind.

“Since things have come to this point, I might as well tell you all.”

“I’m sure you all know about the source core. What we are fighting for is a source core.”

Feng Buhuo and the others did not have much of a reaction.

This was indeed within their expectations.

Other than the source core, what else was worth fighting for?

Connie did not expect them to be so calm. She could only laugh bitterly.

“This is not an ordinary source core, but…”

She did not continue. The magic staff in her hand suddenly flashed with a bright light.

A crystal suddenly appeared in her hand.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes widened.

Their breathing became extremely rapid.

The scene before them seemed so unbelievable.

They only saw an exquisite and shiny crystal lying quietly on Connie’s hand.

The shiny crystal emitted a dazzling red light.

Red light!

Feng Buhuo suddenly trembled.

Red colour, that was an SS-class source core!

It was exactly the material needed to help Little Fiery level up!

As long as he had this source core, Little Fiery had the possibility of advancing to an SS-class dragon.

Its power would increase to another level.

By that time, if the legendary SSS-class does not appear, Little Fiery would be invincible! Who in the world could compete with it?

In an instant, countless thoughts flooded Feng Buhuo’s mind.

This source core was too important to him.

It was so important that even Little Fiery, who was on his shoulder, also looked different.

The laziness had all disappeared. Its eyes were burning as it stared at the source core in Connie’s hand.

This thing that was emitting red light was like a magnet.

It attracted its gaze and attention.

Leng Hanyan’s eyes focused as she turned to look at Feng Buhuo, “Buhuo, you…”

Needless to say, her heart was extremely complicated at this moment.

Feng Buhuo naturally understood her meaning.

And Little Fatty and the others also understood.

Connie understood even more.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken this thing out at this moment.

All the living beings in this world knew.

An SS-class source core was extremely attractive to an S-class living being!

Connie secretly smiled. She was very satisfied with this result.

“You should know what level this source core is, right?”

“If I’m not wrong, this dragon whelp just happens to need this source core.”

Feng Buhuo exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and his expression returned to normal.

“What do you mean by this?”

“This is the generous reward I was talking about. How is it? Are you satisfied?”

What?

She was willing to use this thing as a reward to get their help?

Everyone was surprised by this.

After all, an SS-class source core was something that could only be found by luck.

However, Feng Buhuo was not excited because of this. His intuition told him that this matter was not that easy.

“Tell me what you want.”

Feng Buhuo said calmly.

However, Connie was full of pride.

She was very confident in this temptation..
