78: Chapter 78 You Are a Good Person 78: Chapter 78 You Are a Good Person “Just let her go like this, isn’t it too lenient on her?”

Initially, Bai Jin opposed Yang Yu taking Iyas out, but before she could express her objection, Yang Yu had already smashed the machine and forcibly taken Iyas away.

Now, in front of Bai Jin, Yang Yu had released the hard-brought-out Iyas, and Bai Jin was very puzzled.

Confidently, Yang Yu picked up the teacup from the table, took a sip, and said, “This move is called letting the prey go to catch it later.

Just watch!

She will come back crying shortly.”

Before he finished speaking, a series of hurried footsteps came from the corridor.

Iyas burst into the room, plunged onto the bed, wrapped herself in the blanket, and murmured, “How scary, the gaze of Humans is terrifying!

Are elves so rare?

Why are they all staring at me as if I’m a rare animal!”

You see, everything is still within my control.

With a sly smile at Bai Jin, Yang Yu put down his teacup and walked toward Iyas.

“Miss Iyas, why have you come back?

Where did the pride when you left go?

Ah, could it be that Human towns are not like yours, where there are hunters everywhere and you can pick vegetables whenever you want?”

Wrapped in the blanket, Iyas stood up, her eyes brimming with tears, and she glared fiercely at Yang Yu.

“Why!

Why can you Humans survive without the gifts of the forest!

No game, no farms, how do so many of you manage to live!

Is it really by plundering other races?”

“I can’t deny that such things happen occasionally.

However, that’s not the main theme of Human history.

A race that lives solely on plunder will only face extinction in the end.

Only by finding ways can they continue to thrive.”

Yang Yu took out a Gold Coin, tossed it high into the air, and caught it steadily.

He then held the Gold Coin out towards Iyas.

“Our food is grown by some people, and through the medium of money, it comes to us.

Simply put, it’s like one person handles the hunting, another handles gathering vegetables, and another takes care of lighting the fire and cooking, and in the end, all three enjoy a feast.

However, in Human society, these tasks are assigned to strangers, and in the end, they are tied together by this little Gold Coin.”

The importance of money was the first lesson Yang Yu taught to the village girl.

“So, where does this Gold Coin come from, and how should it be obtained and used?” Iyas asked.

“It’s a bit complicated to explain.

You just need to understand one thing.

Without money, you’ll find it very difficult to navigate Human society.”

I’m not foolish.

If I tell you everything now, wouldn’t you essentially get my knowledge for free?

Where would my village girl training plan even start then?

Iyas slowly put down the blanket, and the gazes of those outside the inn appeared before her eyes again.

She looked up at Yang Yu, her mind in turmoil.

She had already seen the Human towns.

But the more she saw, the harder it was to accept.

If everything Yang Yu said was right, not to mention finding her brother, she might even starve to death in the Human “village.”

The more she thought about it, the heavier Iyas felt, and despite her efforts, she couldn’t think of any solution.

The situation had gone far beyond her comprehension.

Just as she was looking at Yang Yu, Yang Yu was also watching her.

The two exchanged a deep, emotional gaze.

Gold Coin could only see indifference in Yang Yu’s eyes, as if saying kindness is never rewarded; your conscience must have been eaten by a dog.

Thinking about it, he never had a reason to help me from the start…

It was all my own wishful thinking…

“Iyas, did you understand everything I said?

Besides, how long do you plan to stay here?

We should be hitting the road soon.

I can’t keep you any longer.”

Suddenly, a certain conversation flashed through Iyas’s mind, and she grasped at it like a lifeline, covering her face with her hands and sobbing.

“I’m sorry!

I’m sorry!

It’s all my fault!

Initially, I shouldn’t have treated you that way.

At that time, it was the painful memories that made me say those things to you, I didn’t mean it, you must forgive me.

Being able to rescue me from those demons, you must be a good person, and now I am helpless and penniless, all I can rely on is you.

Please, you must help me, wuwuwu—”

Although his words were harsh and biting, his rescue showed his inherently good nature…

He was the kind of person who felt compassion for the misfortunate.

“Can’t help it, although I’m reluctant, for now, I must act like a weak and defenseless elf until I learn human knowledge, and understand how to survive in human society.

By then, I can go my separate ways with them.

I’m right, aren’t I?

Poor helpless Elf Lady.”

“Do you have the Mind Reading Technique?

Why can you say everything I’m thinking!

If you had the Mind Reading Technique, you should have told me earlier!”

Lowering her hands, Iyas looked at Yang Yu with a hint of anger in her eyes.

Indeed, she hadn’t cried, or rather, a fine Elf Warrior wasn’t prone to shedding tears for sympathy.

“I don’t have such a convenient skill as the Mind Reading Technique.” Playing with the coin in his hands, Yang Yu was indifferent to Iyas’s aggressive gaze, “Mainly because your crying was too fake, anyone could see through your true thoughts.”

Too fake?

Iyas looked incredulously at Bai Jin, who nodded slightly towards Iyas.

Iyas’s crying was too fake; even she could hardly stand it.

If Iyas had cried more genuinely, perhaps Yang Yu would have actually believed it.

“Since you’ve seen through me, all I can do is beg you again, please teach me the knowledge I need to survive in human society!”

Iyas lowered her head again towards Yang Yu, not knowing if it would work, but it was better than doing nothing.

“I told you before, if you want my help, you must pay me accordingly.” Yang Yu tossed the coin high, caught it in his hand, and a smile that Iyas had never seen before appeared on his face, “If your payment is sufficient, I can even help you find your brother.”

“What!” Iyas stood up excitedly, “Is everything you said true?”

“Of course, I never break my promises.”

Iyas’s somber expression suddenly surged with excitement, but it didn’t last long before she realized the reality, her mouth turned downward, and she clenched her hands unwillingly.

“I might have to disappoint you, I can’t offer anything valuable right now, but as long as you help me find my brother, I will certainly ask the Elf Queen to grant you the reward you deserve.”

“That kind of empty promise, anyone can make.” Yang Yu laughed, “Besides, don’t you have something you can pay me with?”

“What?”

The empty-handed Iyas racked her brains but could not think of anything on her that could serve as payment until she saw Yang Yu point at her with his finger.

“The payment I want is you.”
