Luo En glanced and lightly snorted, unmoved, "Are we that close?"
Thetis handed the bronze badge to Luo En and spoke faintly, "Then consider it the first favor you owe me."
"Are you sure? My favors are quite valuable..." Luo En grumbled as he stepped forward and placed the bronze badge around Thetis's snowy neck.
Having successfully gotten her way, Thetis's face bloomed with a bright smile, tucked the special necklace into her neckline, rose from the fire, and walked toward the tent under the night sky.
As he watched the Ocean Goddess's graceful figure disappear from his field of view, Luo En, bathed in the moonlight, looked at his hands that still held some residual warmth, and shook his head while murmuring.
"At a loss..."
However, it was only a small loss for now; who could say about the future.
