Chapter 135 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess
"Can we talk now?" Finally, after being sealed and ejected by Luo Nu countless times, Nan Yin proposed a negotiation to the ghost king in front of her. Despite rejecting Nan Yin's negotiation requests countless times, this time Luo Nu surprisingly remained silent and simply sat down cross-legged, completely expressionless. They were now in a space created by Luo Nu. This space was originally designed to be used with Luo Nu's newly emerged skill, which could exhaust any enemies within it. However, due to the seal Nan Yin had placed on her, Luo Nu could only temporarily trap Nan Yin in this space. Her plan was simple: Nan Yin was, after all, just an ordinary person who needed regular food. If she could keep Nan Yin trapped here for more than ten days, Nan Yin would eventually give in. When that time came, Luo Nu would have the upper hand. "Talk? Heh, what is there to talk about? How you want to enslave me?" Luo Nu sat on the ground, looking at Nan Yin with a mocking expression. It was understandable, as anyone faced with someone trying to enslave them wouldn't be in a good mood. “Why do you have to make it sound so harsh?” Nan Yin shook her head and then sat down cross-legged like Luo Nu. “What do you want? Don't tell me you plan to just wait me out here. This is my territory, and you can't outlast me,” Luo Nu said, starting to act stubborn. “Tell me what you want.” However, Nan Yin was not moved by Luo Nu’s threats. Outlast her? She never intended to do that. Who told her the seal was limited to that function? “Do you know? This seal has another effect. It can impose punishment on the wearer, with the maximum penalty being equivalent to the full force of its creator,” Nan Yin said nonchalantly. As Nan Yin spoke, Luo Nu's expression froze. On the other side, Nan Yin continued explaining slowly. "In other words, if I want to, I can use this seal to deliver a blow as powerful as that of a grand mage to you. Can you handle that?" "Grand mage?" Luo Nu couldn't help swallowing nervously. A grand mage! That was the pinnacle of human combat strength. She could foresee the formidable strength of the seal's creator, but she hadn't expected it to be this strong! If it were during her prime, Luo Nu would have had the capital to ignore Nan Yin’s threat. However, at this moment, she was just a remnant soul with diminished power. Even a casual statement from someone else could end her. “Your...your threat is useless!” Luo Nu insisted stubbornly, raising her head defiantly. Nan Yin had long known about Luo Nu's proud nature, so she didn't mind. Instead, she continued to provoke the ghost king. “I’m not threatening you. After all, you can feel how this seal works by yourself. I'm not lying to you,” Nan Yin said, standing up and approaching Luo Nu, startling the latter. “What...what are you doing?” Luo Nu said weakly. Unfortunately, her life was in someone else's hands now, so she couldn't help sounding weak. “I’m asking you, did you mistakenly kill many people before?” Nan Yin inquired. “I...I did kill some, but it wasn't intentional,” Luo Nu rebutted. "They barged in themselves.” Nan Yin didn't care what kind of people Luo Nu killed. She just needed to know whether she did. “Then do you think you can hide here peacefully forever?” "Order outside has become very strict in the past few thousand years. It’s completely different from the chaotic era three thousand years ago. Even if you kill one person, you will be thoroughly investigated, let alone the number of people you've killed... Just a friendly reminder, among the people you've killed, there was an ambassador from a country,” Nan Yin explained slowly. An ambassador? Luo Nu froze. As a civilized individual, she naturally knew the serious consequences of killing a country's ambassador. “There have been significant changes in the outside world over the past few thousand years. Even ordinary people have weapons that can match those of advanced power users. Sheng Cheng has occupied the entire Asia, and Dongyang has become one of our provinces... Anyway, don't you want to go out and see for yourself?” “Or are you going to wait here for the companions of those you killed to invite some so-called big shots to come and kill you, or would you choose to accompany me to explore the world?” After saying all this, Nan Yin sat in front of Luo Nu, waiting for her response. In the original work, Luo Nu followed Su Xiaoyu because of loneliness and isolation, so her words were definitely not a problem. Nan Yin's words indeed stirred Luo Nu's thoughts. Truth be told, she was someone who couldn't bear loneliness, or she wouldn't have initially laid down those meaningful illusions for Nan Yin. “Why should I agree to you? What do you want from me?” our proud Luo Nu remained as proud as ever. If it were only the first sentence, Nan Yin would have thought that some counseling was still needed. However, because of the following sentence, she thought it was now safe. All Luo Nu needed was an out. “Why should I agree to you? Because you have no choice,” Nan Yin said, reaching out her hand to Luo Nu. “Also, I said I don't want a slave. I don't want to enslave you. To be precise, I have a large company, and you can consider working for me.” “Moreover, we can be equals. This seal is actually a contract. You can propose some conditions, and we can write them into the contract.” “So, what is your choice?” Following Nan Yin's long speech, Luo Nu couldn't help but feel moved. Instead of randomly finding an audience to play with here, it would be better to go out and see the world with this girl in front of her. “Conditions... what could an ordinary person like you offer me?” Luo Nu continued to be stubborn. “But don’t forget who put this seal around your neck,” Nan Yin wagged her finger. “I have someone behind me.” Luo Nu had to admit that this was true. If Nan Yin was really just an ordinary person, how could she explain the powerful seal? Thinking about this, Luo Nu felt a little reassured. At least following this person in front of her seemed to hold some promise. “So, the conditions...” Luo Nu started to think about what conditions to propose to the young girl in front of her. After a moment, she said, “You have to give me a drop of your blood every day.” What? A drop of blood? This wasn't a sacrifice! Nan Yin shook her head decisively. “That’s impossible. I can provide you with some physical help.” “What kind of physical help can I ask for? Can I talk physics with a ghost?” Luo Nu was unwilling, but then she frowned, feeling something unusual about Nan Yin. “Wait... can you let me see... uh, taste your blood? Just a little, a drop is enough.” This sudden request from Luo Nu made Nan Yin slightly stunned, but after a moment’s consideration, she bit her finger and squeezed a drop of blood onto Luo Nu's palm. “Sss.” She gently approached. “Ah, slowly lick it.” “Hmm.” Luo Nu looked at the snowy-haired girl in front of her in astonishment. “I’m changing the condition. Can you give me a drop of your blood every day?” New reader group: 666403941, welcome all readers to join and encourage more updates!
