"It's better than sending them all to die with you!" said Yao Ruoxian, growling furiously. "If you keep talking, I'll make you leave that fat thief behind too!"
"Alright, alright, fine. Then it's settled!" It was better to have some than none. Miao Yi beckoned to the little mantids and thirty-five of them entered his storage bangle in a bunch. Turning to Yao Ruoxian, he cupped his fists at him and said, "Senior Yao. I will entrust them both to you."
Yao Ruoxian scornfully waved his hand and said, "I don't need you to tell me about my own daughters. Remember the fees you owe me. Find a few more Yao Cores and whatnot, before coming back to repay your debt."
Miao Yi smiled, then gave a subtle wink to Yao Ruoxian and quietly told him something before turning to the ladies with a smile. "I'm going!"
