Chapter 25: Cooperation?

Chapter 25: Cooperation?

"Ughh", Shao snorted in annoyance.

She had already tried six times to hurt Shenshah but to no avail

The results were the same~

Every time she was about to take his life, there was this inexplicable pang in her heart. like she just couldn't afford to lose him~

With her experiments, she found that this intimate connection between her and Shenshah doesn't seem to be affected by the distance between them.

This further made her infuriated.

Seeming to accept her reality, she finally looked up at the culprit responsible for her plight.

I could very well feel the helplessness in her eyes.

In the last few minutes, I just watched her perform various acts like throwing blades, throwing swords, and even throwing some random weapons I couldn't even name. It was like enjoying a free circus performance.

"Oh come on!"

"Don't make that face, weren't you the one who wanted my ring so desperately?"

"Had you not been so envious of my treasure, this wouldn't have happened", my words merrily rubbed her wounds.

"Fine, I admit I wanted to take that thing from you, happy?"

Shao's cheeks puffed up as her rabbit ears bent naturally. In irritation, she directly sat on the ground. As a bystander, I found her childish reaction a bit cute.

"Now tell me, how do I take out that ring? Heck! I can't even see that ring on my finger anymore. In place of it, there's now this damn leaf mark on our palms."

-Shao, at last, decided to adopt a surrendering tone.

Looking at her like this, I really felt so good.

'Shit I knew, I was never a good person but seeing people get their karma so fast is simply so satisfying!'

Putting my hands slowly behind my back, I walked leisurely in circles around her. My face was amusing as I examined her inflated body sitting angrily on the ground.

"To be honest, I have nothing to lose."

It is said when you know a person's behaviour, you can guess what sort of person they are.

Now, I had a rough idea about this lassie.

Like the sectmaster, she was arrogant and prideful. But unlike the sectmaster, Shao's mood was way too easily affected and she gave this strong vibes of a resentful-jealous type.

"Think yourself, isn't it best for me?" Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

"I got a free bodyguard, who can protect my life from any potential harm! With this I can daringly live my life without any worries", I spoke as if it was a minor thing.

"You"

My chest was upright, shoulders straightened.

Countless times had I read how a protagonist fools a heroine with his domineering words. Compared to those who only wanted to make a big plastic harem, my acting was surely impeccable~

"I agree!"

Shao instantly agreed.

Actually, she had secretly examined the leaf print on her palm countless times but she couldn't figure out anything.

Unknown to Shenshah, she was a master craftsman to begin with. In the entire first hundred floors of the tower, her name was renowned as the best craftswoman.

The number of excellent weapons and artifacts that came out of her hands was enough to soar her reputation to an all-time-high.

It is said that the one who is most aware of one's potential is oneself only. Basically she was sure, if she can't see anything wrong then no one else can help her.

As for asking help from those old craftsmens from the higher floors? She decisively refused it. How shameful will it be to ask help from others? Her name which she had earned so painstakingly will vanish in thin air if she did that.

Therefore, when Shenshah mentioned the condition of protecting him for only 90 days, she quickly accepted lest he changes his mind.

With her realm, what is a mere 90 days?

In a life of cultivator at her level, even 10 years pass like they were yesterday. 90 days is just a fleeting moment for her.

Looking at her ready to cooperate with me, I felt relieved. My trick to hire an overpowered bodyguard surely worked.

As for what happens later, we will see when 90 days are over! There's no point in thinking about so far ahead in the future.

While Shenshah was talking about his cooperation with Shao, the sect master was finally free.

She came out of the main hall. Her face was tired.

The important guests discussed a lot of trivial things with her making her bored.

In the end, when she thought she is gooing to lose her mind, they finally left.

She stretched out her hands and yawned a mouthful.

"Oh yes! Shao, just like me, must be feeling bored roaming here and there aimlessly."

"Let's go get her, then we will both go to eat at that famous restaurant which is recently opened on this floor."

"Hmmmm, where is she."

As her mental energy probed the sect to see where her dear friend Shao was, her eyes became fiercer.

"Why is she with that useless brat?"
