Reincarnation In Against The Gods - 117 Buying a Slave
“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.
Only while she was following him did she start to understand his words, and her eyes widened in response.
Even though Ryusuke had said all that to her, she was unable to think of a response that would allow Qianye Ying’er to keep her pride and also be polite enough for Ryusuke to not be angry at her.
She had to grit her teeth and swallow that insult. Ryusuke was truly testing her nerves now. Was he saying all this to make her explode in anger and attack him?
However, that was not the end of the surprise for Qianye Ying’er. Her face turned to that of disbelief when she saw where Ryusuke was heading to.
It was towards the Brahma Monarch God-Emperor and the other Brahma Gods.
“Why are we heading towards my father, Dragon Prince?” Qianye Ying’er asked him without concealing her nervousness.
To be walking to her father without having extracted the information would be unacceptable for Qianye Ying’er.
“Silence!” One silenced word from Ryusuke’s mouth silenced her.
Qianye Ying’er could do nothing but walk towards the Brahma Gods with a bit of fearful expression.
Brahma Monarch God-Emperor noticed Ryusuke coming in his direction with his daughter in tow.
From the expression on his daughter’s face, he could understand that she failed in extracting the information till now.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, his eyes get a little stern before asking Ryusuke, “What is it, Dragon Prince? Anything you want to ask of me?” He couldn’t mask his voice completely and make it completely emotionless. It was probable that he was still angry at Ryusuke for that earlier stunt.
Ryusuke, though, looked amused because of that tone, “Hoh… Are you sure you want to continue talking to me with that tone? I bring an interesting proposal for you.”
At this, the Brahma God, which had been killed by Ryusuke and later revived, just hid behind his second brother. He probably had some trauma after experiencing that death. Death by burning isn’t pretty, after all.
“What is your proposal?” Qianye Fantian asked Ryusuke while signaling towards his daughter if she knew something. His daughter shrugged her shoulders, signifying she knew nothing.
“Do you want the information to ascend to that of a True God?” Ryusuke asked him rather casually.
His casual question caught them all unprepared. Especially Qianye Ying’er.
However, it took them just a moment to regain their composure. Qianye Fantian asked Ryusuke, “Why would you divulge such a great secret to me?”
His question made the Brahma Gods around him nod in agreement. There was no way they could trust Ryusuke’s word over such sensitive information.
“It’s because of what you will offer in return.” Ryusuke had a feral grin over his face as he continued to speak his demand, “I want Qianye Ying’er as my slave in return!”
