Without saying anything, Han Jue raised his big hand and gently wiped the sweat from Su Qinglan’s forehead. His touch was careful and warm.
"My female is awesome," he said in a low, proud voice. His eyes curved into crescents. "You saved both mother and child. I knew you could do it."
Su Qinglan felt her heart warm. She smiled back at him, her tired face showing a gentle glow. "It was nothing. I just did what I could. The female was very brave too."
Han Jue shook his head. "No. In the eyes of others, it was impossible. Only you made it possible. You are the best."
They stood there for a moment, gazing into each other’s eyes. The sounds of happy voices from inside the room drifted out. Su Qinglan felt satisfied. This was why she used her medical knowledge and abilities to bring life and hope instead of despair.
Just then, a familiar ding sounded in her mind.
Ding!
"Host has successfully completed the emergency mission: Assist a female of Dragon Beast City in successful childbirth."
Su Qinglan’s eyes lit up. The system’s voice followed right after, sounding excited and proud.
"Host, you have done an incredible job!" Xuyu praised warmly.
"You don’t know how important this female is in Dragon Beast City. She comes from a respected family here. By saving her and the child, you have earned huge gratitude."
"The female will definitely have a very good impression of you. Not only her, but the native people of Dragon Beast City will start looking up to you. Your previous missions will become much easier now. Connections are very important. You have opened a new door today."
Su Qinglan thought silently to herself as she walked with Han Jue.
’Yes, Xuyu is right.’
Earlier, no matter how hard she tried to talk to the people here, they always kept their distance.
They treated her and her group like outsiders or even plagues. They rarely came to the assigned area and ignored them completely. It had made her heart feel cold and frustrated many times.
Why were they so unwelcoming? But now, everything might change. If this female spoke good words about her to the other females and families, things would definitely improve.
A single good reputation could spread fast in a big city like this.
She felt more motivated than before.
Xuyu’s voice came again, sounding cheerful. "Host, you should check the reward for this mission now. It is quite generous."
Su Qinglan nodded in her mind and opened the system terminal.
A new panel appeared in front of her eyes. When she saw the list of rewards, her eyes widened in surprise.
