Lei Yuan did not expect this sudden declaration.
‘Is this one of those “if I can’t have you, no one can” situations? Is she really going to attack me?’
Lei Yuan wanted to stall for time, but the woman’s scimitar was already coming toward him, so he quickly said, “Wait a minute! Maybe we can talk this over! I never said that I wouldn’t agree with you!”
‘First things first, just focus on surviving. I can think about other things after I get out of this situation.’
As expected, the woman put down her scimitar, but her expression did not look good. She said impatiently, “What is there for us to say?”
Was there another angle he could try to persuade her from?
Lei Yuan’s brain began to work quickly. He currently did not know any spells, and his cultivation level was not high. So, talking about his strength was off the table. He had to steer the topic to something else.
Suddenly, Lei Yuan had an idea. “Since you want to bring me back, it would be a good idea for us to get to know each other. What if you find out later that I… I don’t suit your tastes. Will you kill me then?”
He believed that with how her personality seemed, the chances of her letting him leave were non-existent. If she lost interest in him after a period of time, would she not get rid of him?
The woman actually started to seriously consider this question.
“If you don’t piss me off, I won’t kill you. However, it really depends on my mood. If I’m in a bad mood, I might just bury you six feet under.”
Lei Yuan was speechless. She really would kill him! Should he thank her for revealing this?
Lei Yuan gulped and swallowed the words that he was planning to say.
‘Won’t I die if I simply say something wrong then? Does she think that she’s my goddess or something? It’s one thing to indulge her, but following her every whim is out of the question.’
“If that’s the case, then I won’t go back with you.”
Lei Yuan had to be tired of living if he really went with her despite knowing that she would kill him at a moment’s notice.
However, when the woman heard this, her expression turned cold once more. She raised her scimitar and said, “Fine, I’ll kill you right now.”
Did he have a choice?
Lei Yuan had no choice but to ask her another question, “What do you like?”
This question baffled the woman. What did that have to do with bringing him back?
Although it felt strange, she did not question him and started to think about it seriously.
Looking at her serious expression, Lei Yuan suddenly found his opinion of her changing. This person seemed ruthless, but in reality, she had to think for a long time even about simple questions like what she liked.
Seeing that she had been thinking for a long time without answering, Lei Yuan tried to speak. “Is this question difficult to answer?”
“Sorry, no one has asked me this question before, and I’ve never thought about it myself. I think, I like new things, like you,” the woman replied.
‘There’s no need to apologize for this.’ Lei Yuan muttered in his heart.
The woman continued, “I also like sweet food.”
Food, that was easy! If Lei Yuan showed her something new, she might be willing to let him go. At hearing her mention sweets, he thought that the answer to his predicament became even simpler.
Lei Yuan immediately opened the system store and exchanged his remaining Evolution Points for a dessert that only existed in the modern era.
“Try this.”
Seeing something appear out of thin air in his hand, the woman was surprised. “Is this your spell? What is this?”
What Lei Yuan took out was a cup of ice cream. There was no such thing as “ice cream” in this world.
“It’s a sweet food. Give it a taste. It will be your new favorite dessert.”
The woman seemed pleased, and her mood improved. She followed Lei Yuan’s instructions and slowly ate the ice cream, one bite at a time.
“Cold, sweet, and soft. What is this? Why haven’t I seen this before?”The woman’s eyes were filled with curiosity. “It’s quite delicious. Too bad that I can’t eat it during winter. It would be too cold.”
Seeing her enjoy the ice cream, Lei Yuan exchanged even more points for all sorts of different desserts from the system store. Fortunately, the prices of food were not expensive in the system store, and after the exchange, Lei Yuan did not spend too many of his Evolution Points.
On the other hand, the woman was extremely satisfied.
“Where did you get so much delicious food that I’ve never seen before? Will I still have a chance to eat such food in the future?”
Lei Yuan pondered over this and decided not to tell the truth. After all, his goal was to escape. Now that he had gained her favor, his next step was to leave.
With that in mind, Lei Yuan explained. “There will definitely be another chance for you to have them. However, this food is unique to our country. You won’t be able to have any if I leave the country. If you still want desserts, I have to go back before I can make more for you.”
“So, it’s unique to your country. No wonder I haven’t seen any of it before.” The woman came to a sudden realization, but she frowned when she heard the second half of Lei Yuan’s explanation. “But if you leave, there won’t be anyone to make these treats for me.”
She might as well keep him with her! Was there no way to have both desserts and a man?
The woman thought of a way to balance the situation, and Lei Yuan continued to think of ways to fool her. At least for now, she was still willing to believe what he said. He had to capitalize on this situation and fool her.
“Don’t worry. If that’s what you want, I can make it for you and send them over next time.” The next time he returned, he would certainly not let her find him again!
The woman had already thought of this. “Forget it. If I let you go, I might never see you again. Besides, the ice cream will melt on your long journey here. I don’t want to waste food.”
‘She actually knows how to take a lot of things into consideration.’ The corners of Lei Yuan’s mouth twitched, and he prepared to continue bluffing.
There had to be a way to get her to let him go. This time, before he could speak, he heard the woman say, “I’ve got it! Since you can’t go back with me, then I’ll go back with you! This way, you can stay by my side, and I can eat delicious food.”
Lei Yuan was speechless. So, after all that, he still had to follow this woman around.
But the result was much better than before. At least he would be safer in his own country.There was no way he could not refuse. If he refused again, he might be killed right away.
“Alright, but my house is in the palace. Are you sure you want to go back with me?”
The woman did not seem to mind, and she was expressionless. “It’s fine as long as I can go back with you. Why are you worrying so much?”
After that, the woman teleported the two of them back to the main street. The sudden appearance of two people on the street frightened the people nearby.
Someone recognized Lei Yuan and thought that it was a spell he used, and they started fervently worshiping him. “It’s the Radiant Knight. We didn’t expect to see you here!”
‘Don’t mention my identity here!’ Lei Yuan glanced at the woman, but she did not seem to notice anything and did not react in any way.
He felt temporarily relieved. After that, the two of them returned to the palace together. The woman did not seem surprised at all when she saw the palace. This made Lei Yuan even more curious. What was her identity?
…
At the same time, Ofia and Lotti had sent many soldiers to search for Lei Yuan. They were on the verge of going crazy. Who would have thought that a crowd of people could separate them?
Lotti felt especially annoyed. It was a rare opportunity to spend time together…
