While the guild was gathering for a meet-up, Liam filled Shen Yue in about the paladin and the weird treasure that he had obtained from him. Shen Yue silently listened to him, but when they were about to head out for the guild meeting, she stopped him.
"Liam, I have a selfish request to ask of you."
Liam turned to her, a faint crease forming between his brows. Shen Yue didn't usually preface her words like that—not with him. "What is it?" he asked softly.
She hesitated, her gaze dropping to the floor for a second before lifting to meet his. "If… if this Eternal System thing really does what it claims—if it can rewrite paths, break rules, change destinies—I want you to consider using it on me."
Liam blinked, caught completely off guard. "What? Why would you—"
"I know I am asking too much. I know there is probably someone else in the guild who has contributed more and who deserves more to use such a treasure, but I want to be selfish this one time, please. Let me use it."
