117 Buying a Slave (1/2)
\”I doubt you have any honor, but I guess I will amuse myself. Speak then.\” Ryusuke cut to the chase as he asked her with a straight-forward look. He also took a bite out of the chicken.
Qianye Ying'er had gotten a little nervous by his first few words before she calmed down. She sat down on the chair and tried to clear her through before saying, \”I wanted to know more about you, Dragon Prince.\”
\”Nothing much to tell you.\” Ryusuke shrugged his shoulders as he believed that Qianye Ying'er didn't have the right to know more about him.
His words somewhat scared Qianye Ying'er, but on the surface, she remained confident. This wasn't the first time she was doing this, after all.
\”I wanted to know how a mortal could climb so high that he is at the top of the God Realm in a matter of months.\” She seemed genuinely curious about this fact.
Ryusuke didn't say anything to her. He just continued to chew his food as if this question didn't interest him.
Just his reaction told Qianye Ying'er that she wouldn't get any answer out of him now. She decided to change her question, \”Can I know about that power of revival?\”
Ryusuke lets out a sigh, \”Speak, do not talk in circles. What do you really want? And if you talk in circles again…\”
Qianye Ying'er didn't know why she was scared. Was it because of his nonchalant look or those red eyes changing their shape to that one which had shot out those terrifying flames which killed her Uncle?
She cleared her throat and asked genuinely this time, \”Can I stay in the Dragon God Realm? I want to know more about you.\” The first question was genuine, while the second statement could be considered half-truth.
What she was really interested in was the way to become a True God. She was sure that the Azure Dragon must have told his inheritor and now the son-in-law of the way to be the True God. To know that information from Ryusuke was her true goal.
Ryusuke knew she was up to no good. However, he couldn't help but let out a chuckle before his Mangekyou Sharingan returned back to the normal Sharingan.
Qianye Ying'er remained confused. She had a question in her mind 'Why is he laughing?'
\”You should know that we don't allow outsiders to live in the Dragon God Realm. Especially ones from the other Royal-Rank Star Realm. Unless…\” He looked at Qianye Ying'er's body from top to bottom before continuing, \”… they have a special reason.\”
Feeling that this opportunity was nearly within her grasps, Qianye Ying'er immediately spoke, \”Please allow me to stay with you! I swear I will do anything. I am sure there must be something I can help with!\”
\”Hmm… You are right. I certainly have a job right now. None other than you deserve to be with that job.\” Ryusuke said as the corners of his mouth raised a little.
\”What is the job?! I am ready to do anything…\” Qianye Ying'er continued to spout out this nonsense while she was day-dreaming of the day when she finds the secret to become the True God.
\”The job of a Slave,\” Ryusuke says this as his eyes focused upon Qianye Ying'er. His voice was so serious that Qianye Ying'er didn't know how to react for several seconds.
She then asked him with an expression of disbelief, \”W-What? What did you say? I fear I heard something-\”
\”So, you are deaf as well, bitch? I am failing to see any of your redeeming qualities. Do you know how to clean? Wait… that needs experience as well. Sorry, it was probably rude of me to remind you of your uselessness.\” Ryusuke said this in one breath and then stood up from his seat as if he was done with her.
Qianye Ying'er didn't even have the time to completely understand his words, she stood up and followed after him.
