Chapter 932: Wanting a Bit More Benefit
Chapter 933: Rules
“You originally promised to take me to find the Holy Dragon Judgment. Now it seems this Holy Dragon Judgment is also the key for you to break open the Dragon Locking Well. You got all the benefits, but I didn’t get anything.”
Xia Feng took the initiative to attack first, as if he had gained nothing, and righteously accused Huang Zhaoyue, “So, when you were in the Sumeru Realm before, you readily agreed to the conditions I proposed regarding the Holy Dragon Judgment, right!”
Huang Zhaoyue, knowing she was in the wrong, remained silent.
“How about this, I can help you, and I won’t make too many demands. You just need to agree to one condition, and I’ll help you. What do you say?”
“Speak.”
“Accept the Pale Divine Seal and become a believer of the Pale Dragon God.”
“!”
“How about it?”
“Impossible!”
“Why is it impossible?”
“My purpose in escaping the cage was to regain my freedom and no longer be controlled by any existence. Becoming a Pale Believer, what’s the difference between escaping from a wolf’s den and entering a tiger’s lair? Moreover, it’s the Pale One! That would only make me more… disgusted!”
“Wha?! Who are you calling disgusted!?”
“…In short, it’s impossible!”
“Then how about this, the requirements are slightly lowered. You don’t need to submit to the Pale One, how about submitting to me?” Xia Feng revealed his true intentions.
“What do you mean?”
“I’m not asking you to submit forever. After we break open the Dragon Locking Well and you retrieve your Godhead, you just need to become my subordinate, join my organization, work for me, and protect my life for a thousand years. Compared to the ten thousand years you were ‘imprisoned,’ this time isn’t too long.”
Huang Zhaoyue’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. A thousand years wasn’t long. After ten thousand years of lurking, she didn’t lack a thousand years.
But she was too eager for freedom now. Even one more year would be torture.
“One hundred years.” Huang Zhaoyue pursed her lips and spoke softly.
“!” Xia Feng’s eyes twitched. “Do you bargain like this? You’re cutting the price by half!”
“One hundred years. With your monstrous talent, if there are no accidents, you will have already reached the Divine Realm by then, and you won’t need my protection at all.”
I’ll take that as a compliment. Xia Feng fell into thought. Huang Zhaoyue was indeed right; a hundred years was more than enough.
Of course, that was assuming Miss Mu, this World-Ending Witch, was still alive and kicking.
“One hundred years is acceptable, but with such a shortened time, there must be some price. How about this, no need to wait until I help you escape the Dragon Locking Well. Now, you must become my subordinate and obey me!”
“On what grounds!” Huang Zhaoyue frowned, displeased.
“You don’t agree? Then fine, the negotiation breaks down. You can figure out the problem of the Dragon Locking Well yourself.” Xia Feng tidied his collar and leisurely sat down on a metal back chair.
“.”
Huang Zhaoyue lowered her eyelids, her eyes half-closed, and her voice was chillingly cold, “I can be your subordinate, but you cannot do anything improper to me.”
Xia Feng gave a cold laugh, his arms crossed dismissively. “.Huang Zhaoyue, you think highly of yourself. Even if you stripped naked and danced in front of me, I wouldn’t react at all, believe it or not.”
Huang Zhaoyue’s expression was unreadable as she continued, “Secondly, you cannot forcefully ask me to do things that are beyond my capability and will only lead to my death.”
“.I’m not that bored. What good would it do me if you died?”
“Finally, you cannot order me to do things I don’t want to do.”
“?!” Xia Feng’s smile slowly faded, and he let out a scoff. “You might as well say you can do whatever you want as my subordinate, without having to listen to any of my orders as your superior!”
“Is that possible?”
“You’re dreaming!”
“.”
“Alright.” Xia Feng’s expression was cold. “I won’t order you to do anything out of line. You just need to show the proper respect to me as your superior, and then when I need you to fight, you’ll unleash your full power without reservation. If you’re not willing to do even that, then you can find someone else.”
“Okay, deal.”
Although she was very reluctant to be under Xia Feng, it was still better than being threatened with her life by Huang Ye using her Godhead.
Huang Zhaoyue readily agreed and then asked curiously, “You mentioned an organization earlier, what kind of organization have you established? Is it large in scale?”
“. That’s none of your business. I’ll tell you when it’s time. For now, you just need to be responsible to me and obey me directly. Also, from now on, you must address me with a respectful term like ‘Venerable One,’ understand?”
Xia Feng leaned back in his chair, his legs crossed, acting like a big boss.
“.”
Huang Zhaoyue’s expression was blank. She suddenly regretted agreeing to this.
Venerable One?
And a respectful term!
“I will respect you, but the respectful term is out of the question.”
“Out of the question, then out of the question. Why are you glaring at me?” Xia Feng looked at her fox-gray heterochromatic pupils, which once again turned cold, and a chilling killing intent surged. He was displeased. “Is this the respect you spoke of?”
“.” Huang Zhaoyue took a deep breath, restraining the icy gaze filled with malice.
“Since we’ve reached an agreement, can you give me the Dragon Spirit Blood now?” she silently stared at Xia Feng’s neck.
“No, you haven’t given up yet.” Xia Feng was defeated. This woman had gone through such a long detour, and she was still fixated on this matter.
“Huang Ye intends to carry out his unspeakable plan on the wedding day, so for me, every day counts. Hurry up, let’s see if the Dragon Spirit Blood is still effective.”
Saying that, she stepped forward, placed her hands on the armrests of Xia Feng’s chair, and leaned down to bite Xia Feng’s neck again.
Xia Feng flinched, raised his hand to hold her slender shoulder, and reprimanded her displeasuredly, “Huang Zhaoyue, understand your position. You are my subordinate now!”
“You’re coming at me before I’ve even agreed. Do you have any manners?!”
“.”
Huang Zhaoyue’s face turned slightly cold, and she subconsciously wanted to get angry, but she held back in the end. She pursed her lips. “Although I am your subordinate now, you also promised me that your Dragon Spirit Blood, including your life, belongs to me. What’s wrong with taking back what originally belonged to me!”
“.” So the agreement for you to be my subordinate earlier was useless, wasn’t it? You still want to do whatever you want to me?
Xia Feng was completely convinced. He ignored her and extended his right index finger, holding it in front of her cherry-colored lips, and said coldly, “If you want the Dragon Spirit Blood, bite here. Any other method is not up for discussion.”
“.”
The man’s index finger lowered, hovering in front of her lips. Huang Zhaoyue couldn’t help but frown, her fox-gray beautiful eyes meeting the man’s black pupils.
Xia Feng’s expression was unreadable, and he said casually, “It’s tiring for me to hold this up, you know. You have three seconds to consider, three—!”
Huang Zhaoyue pursed her lips, her delicate eyebrows furrowed even deeper. Xia Feng had called her a dog earlier, which made her subconsciously feel that biting his finger like this was very strange.
But looking at Xia Feng’s expression, it seemed he wasn’t thinking in that direction.
Perhaps she was overthinking it. Xia Feng simply didn’t want to be bitten on the neck again, nor did he want any more physical contact with her, who had an abyssal bloodline.
It had to be said that biting the fingertip was indeed the most effective way to reduce physical contact.
