Chapter 65: The Price of a Gold Coin

‘Just asking, did Anna save the world in her previous life to be blessed with meeting Yulim?

Could I also be blessed with such a girl?

Though Eve could easily give Yulim and her companions a large sum of money, it would undeniably feel like charity.

Not only Yulim, but Anna likely wouldn’t accept such a handout either.

Leaning back in her chair, Eve gazed at the ceiling, her thoughts drifting to her next destination.

In truth, just a moment ago, a fleeting thought had crossed her mind: to simply continue adventuring with Anna and her companions.

From the very beginning, when she departed Yarokan City, her intention was to embark on an adventure.

She sought to explore and experience this novel world while simultaneously enhancing her strength.

According to Eve’s original plan, upon reaching Xielan, she would assume the identity of an adventurer.

There, she would take on various quests, battle monsters to level up, and soak in the customs and scenery of this otherworld.

Adventuring with Anna and her friends wasn’t entirely contradictory to her goals, and their journey together had been pleasant and easygoing.

However, their encounter had been nothing more than a coincidence.

With similar destinations and Eve’s desire to repay a debt, they had traveled together.

Now, having gone through the oath of sisterhood and brought them back to Xielan, the life-saving favor had largely been repaid.

At most, she might treat them to one more grand meal.

Once this final bit of gratitude was expressed, what reason or excuse would Eve have to continue traveling with them?

A solo journey wasn’t necessarily boring, and she still had her little maid, Wennya, for company.

After a farewell meal, everyone would simply return to their own lives.

Since separation was inevitable, it was better to end this bond sooner rather than later.

This was the best choice.

Perhaps it was a little heartless.

But what did it matter?

She was a minor undead, after all, a member of the wicked Demon King’s army.

Eve placed a hand over her chest.

Even with little flesh separating her hand from her ribcage, she felt no heartbeat whatsoever.
