943 Deal
“Hey!”
The girl panicked and called out to Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming continued to walk forward, completely ignoring the girl.
She immediately grimaced and felt a little restless. Then, she began to speak loudly.
“Your Majesty, I can give you anything you want.”
Jiang Ming turned around.
That was good.
Then, he thought carefully and asked, “Why are you locked up here?”
No matter what, he had to find out the reason first.
“I was imprisoned here by my own master. My master should be dead. He was the ancestor of Zhuyan Palace. I was bored and raised snakes here.”
“Zhuyan Palace? Perhaps you’d like to meet your master’s descendant?” Jiang Ming laughed.
“My master’s descendant? Where is he?” the young girl asked with shining eyes. “Let me see him.”
“Now, there’s another condition. You should understand.”
Jiang Ming took the opportunity to raise another condition.
The girl was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
This man actually treated her like this. Wasn’t this a little too much?
“I’m still a slave. I can’t help you at all,” the young girl continued, pretending to be pitiful.
“Oh, what does that have to do with me?” Jiang Ming’s expression was indifferent.
“Do you want the jade flute in my hand?” the young girl choked and asked awkwardly.
“This jade flute can control all animals. If you learn it, you can even chat with these animals.”
“So, how do I learn to use it? If I can’t learn how to use it, won’t it be useless?” Jiang Ming asked unhurriedly.
The girl choked again and coughed twice. Her eyes were filled with embarra.s.sment.
“I can teach you the secret technique of Zhuyan Palace. Once you learn it, you will be immortal,” she said after thinking for a while.
Jiang Ming grinned.
He was wondering why some people in the Xiaguo Kingdom knew Zhuyan Palace’s spell techniques. It turned out that the source was here.
“Did you hide something related to Zhuyan Palace in the Xiaguo Kingdom?”
“How did you know?” the girl asked warily. “I don’t think anyone saw it. I’m just having fun.”
“That’s just what you think.” Jiang Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Someone saw it and learned it.”
“d.a.m.n it, Master’s secret technique was actually learned by an outsider. Tell me—who is that person? I’ll go kill him.”
The young girl’s eyes emitted a fierce light.
“You obviously hid it yourself.” Jiang Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The girl shook her head. “It doesn’t matter! What if that person put it somewhere else?”
Jiang Ming rolled his eyes and said, “Do you have anything else you can exchange with me? Perhaps I can consider removing your handcuffs.”
The young girl thought for a moment and then pointed at herself.
“Do you want to use your body in exchange?” Jiang Ming asked curiously.
“How is that possible?” the young girl spat. “What I mean is that I can do a lot of work. If you unlock my handcuffs and let me work, I definitely won’t let you down.”
Jiang Ming smiled.
“I have so many servants. Do I need you? You also know that I am the king of the Xiaguo Kingdom, right?”
The girl thought for a moment and then said, “Then you definitely don’t have the sh.e.l.l in my hand, right? This sh.e.l.l can help you stabilize your kingdom. Perhaps you’re willing to take this sh.e.l.l.”
As she spoke, she took out a golden sh.e.l.l from her pocket.
The sh.e.l.l emitted colorful light and had layers of barriers.
These barriers surrounded the girl.
The girl then knocked on the barrier and said to Jiang Ming in her heart, “Your Majesty, you should have seen it. This barrier doesn’t make any sound, and it’s extremely strong.”
“Is this all you have?”
Jiang Ming felt that this girl could not take out anything good at all, so he turned around and wanted to leave.
The young girl immediately became anxious.
She had finally managed to get close to Ning Caichen, and she did not want to continue being locked up.
“Hey, I still have a necklace in my hand. This necklace can open the Otherworld for me. At that time, you can enter the Otherworld and obtain many treasures. Don’t you want it?”
Jiang Ming did not understand what she was mumbling, but he roughly understood what she meant.
“Can I really obtain treasures?” he asked after some thought.
“If you can’t get any, you can kill me. I’m a trustworthy person.”
The girl straightened her back, her eyes filled with coldness.
She threw the sh.e.l.l over.
She knew that Jiang Ming wanted the sh.e.l.l, but she was not sure of its quality.
The moment he took the sh.e.l.l, Jiang Ming touched it and immediately felt a strong spiritual energy coming from it.
“Alright, this thing is pretty good. I’ll uncuff you now.”
Jiang Ming released his spiritual energy and slashed at the girl’s wrists. The girl’s handcuffs and fetters were instantly torn apart.
Her body was already extremely weak, but the moment she regained her freedom, she could not help but jump up.
After tens of thousands of years, she finally had her own freedom.
Then, tears welled up in her eyes. She could not help but kneel down to Jiang Ming. “Your Majesty, thank you so much. I’ll give this sh.e.l.l to you. I’m leaving now.”
Just as she lifted his foot, she was pulled back by Jiang Ming.
“What are you thinking about? You still have things to do for me. Just stay by my side. I think you’re quite useful.”
He smiled, showing his friendly side to the girl.
The girl could not help but cry, “Do you really want to trap me again? I’ve been trapped here for tens of thousands of years.”
“How can this trap you? You can still play freely, but when I call you, you have to come back. However, I probably won’t call you most of the time.”
Jiang Ming comforted the girl. The girl continued to nod bitterly, but she knew that she had no choice now. Her body was very weak, and she could not beat Ning Caichen.
She finally had freedom, so she did not want to die.
On the other side of the stone wall, Yuan Hehe had indeed become better, just as the girl had said.
He was about to walk outside when he happened to meet Jiang Ming and the girl.
Seeing the girl’s tattered clothes, he could not help but look at Jiang Ming.
“What are you guys doing?”
Jiang Ming quickly stopped Yuan Hehe. “Don’t let your imagination run wild. We didn’t do anything. From now on, this girl is your partner.”
“What is her name?”
Yuan Hehe looked at the girl a few more times.
