"Ultimately, I still owe you a favor."
Su Mu slowly extended his right hand, looking at the mark of the Stone Ring on his middle finger.
This Stone Ring had indeed helped Su Mu greatly. Elder Ling brought the ring's Artifact Spirit, and according to him, it was this "important figure" in front of them who assisted him.
Yet he had only met this woman once, and Su Mu couldn't understand why she would help him.
Upon hearing this, it seemed Lady Houtu had already anticipated Su Mu would ask this question, having an answer in her heart long ago.
She slowly replied, "I didn't really help you in any way. On the contrary... you stopped the Great Flood, which invisibly saved this city."
"Today, I invited you here because I have an impertinent request, hoping you could help."
Lady Houtu's tone seemed always so calm and ethereal, without any emotional fluctuation.
