“Yes, yes,” Su Enxi sighed and said “master” in the voice of Shude Mai, wondering about her old partner’s reaction.
Mai stopped in her tracks, her eyes losing all their sparkle. Her beautiful figure would surely have attracted countless stares in a bustling city.
However, this old neighborhood was basically abandoned and there were hardly any people there, so no one witnessed the female ninja's figure.
Su Enxi looked at the screen in front of her. Her old partner stood in front of the old wall, with a few leaves falling in front of him, making him look extremely desolate.
"Alright, long legs, stop acting. I do know where you are, what you did, and..."
Su Enxi paused, then smiled and said, "The scene of you pledging allegiance to your new master."
She recalled the scene where Mai Shutoku was forced to change her address to "master," and she couldn't help but feel a surge of pleasure. However, out of consideration for their long-standing sisterhood, she refrained from expressing her laughter.
The female ninja looked around at the desolate wilderness and was speechless. "Damn it, there are surveillance cameras here too."
“This is China, Mai. You’ll have to get used to it.” Su Enxi shrugged, expressing sympathy for her old colleague.
Mai Shude took a deep breath. "Where's the boss? What did he say?"
“He didn’t say anything, but I guess he’s planning to give up on you,” Su Enxi said.
"What?" Mai Shude was stunned. She hadn't expected to be abandoned like this. She said unwillingly:
"You can give up on this? Didn't we sign a contract?"
Su Enxi shook her head. "The contract is gone."
"Gone?" The female ninja was somewhat incredulous. "How could it be gone?"
Her face changed color slightly, becoming rosy.
Su Enxi teased, "Of course it was your new owner who did it, who else could it be?"
"You mean... Little Dragon Girl?" Mai asked tentatively, pacing back and forth.
The breach of the "contract" was a severe blow to her. She had spent "half her life" finding meaning in this contract, but she never expected to die before starting her business.
“Little Dragon Girl doesn’t have the power to break the boss’s contract; it’s your new master who’s in charge.” Su Enxi shook her head.
“He…” Mai Shude stopped moving, somewhat incredulous. “How could this be?”
She muttered to herself, "I know that as a hybrid he can easily subdue Deadpool, and as a human he can subdue the Dragon King, so the boss can't be underestimated..."
But how is that possible?
"Isn't this enough?" Su Enxi said quietly.
Yes! Isn't that enough?
Putting everything else aside, simply making the "boss" unable to underestimate him is a remarkable achievement. Even when facing the four monarchs, the "boss" still treats them with contempt and resentment.
"Moreover, the contract between you and me and the boss is achieved through the invisible alchemical separation of cause and effect, which is completely different from the blood pact that the princess signed with the boss."
Looking at the helpless female ninja in the video in front of her, Su Enxi couldn't help but sigh, "Contracts are meant to be torn up!"
"Alright!" After a long silence, watching the sunset gradually disappear into the sky, Mai Shude finally spoke:
"So what about Chu Tianjiao? He wants to dump this trouble on the boss." It's hard to imagine that the female ninja would find it so difficult to say the word "boss" after being abandoned.
“I will send someone to take care of him. The boss shouldn’t give up such a useful person,” Su Enxi said directly without hiding anything.
"Too."
Mai Shude hung up the phone, watching the last rays of the setting sun, her figure disappearing into the darkness.
"Time Zero is always more useful than the Dark Illumination."
Chapter 86 Fireside Chat
It was already dark when we returned to the Regent Hotel.
However, both Wang Anzhi and Xia Mi were very satisfied; they had a thrilling yet beautiful date.
Before they returned to their respective rooms, the Dragon Girl looked at Wang Anzhi, who was all alone, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Senior brother, I told you that female ninja had no loyalty! She ran away the moment I wasn't paying attention to her."
Although she lost a "trophy," she also lost a formidable enemy who could inspire "despair." Therefore, Miss Dragon Girl was not particularly concerned about the loss and was quite satisfied with the outcome.
Listening to Miss Xia Mi's hurried and joyful words, Wang Anzhi thoroughly enjoyed her concern. "Of course, Junior Sister, you are definitely the best among everyone."
The dragon girl couldn't help but laugh, but before her laughter could spread, it gradually turned cold.
"What's wrong?" Wang Anzhi asked. His bloodline was inferior to Xia Mi's, and his hearing and eyesight were far worse.
"It's nothing." Xia Mi pushed Wang Anzhi out, closed the door, and made a face. "Senior brother, you should have a good talk with your female ninja! Don't be seduced by women."
As she spoke, the Dragon Girl couldn't help but feel a little wronged, but she didn't want others, especially her senior brother, to notice her inner weakness, so she could only choose to escape.
Wang Anzhi was somewhat puzzled, but when he turned around, he saw Jiu Demai standing in front of him with a smile.
"Master, Ninja Mai Shutoku pays her respects."
At that moment, he finally understood why Xia Mi was so unhappy.
"Great, Mai, I knew you'd come back," Wang Anzhi breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that his carefully constructed facade in front of Xia Mi would backfire in front of the maid.
"Then, could you heat up a cup of milk for me first?" Wang Anzhi entered his room, and the female ninja followed him without any hesitation.
“Of course,” Mai Shude said softly.
……
Beside the fireplace, Wang Anzhi sat at his desk, with a cup of hot milk and a copy of the Edda Epic on the table. The female ninja stood respectfully behind him, ready to give his orders at any time.
The room was very quiet, broken only occasionally by the sound of turning pages and the deliberate breathing of the female ninja.
Suddenly, even that last sound disappeared, the sparks that had been flying off the fireplace froze in mid-air, and a very childish voice came from nowhere.
"Is my linen robe any good?"
"You sound like a heartbroken young man with yellow hair." Wang Anzhi looked at the little boy in a suit in front of him, whose voice was full of sorrow, and felt something was off.
He leaned back in his chair and took a step back. "I'm not a priest, and I'm really not interested in you."
The boy ignored his flirtatious remarks, calmly sat down opposite him, and looked at the motionless female ninja behind him.
"It does look useful. You've learned to joke with me like this too."
"Hehe," Wang Anzhi chuckled. Genghis Khan once said something like, "There is no greater pleasure in life than..." Although Jiu Demayi had little to do with the devil in front of him, seeing his mournful appearance still made Wang Anzhi feel a sense of satisfaction.
"I traded this hempen robe for Chu Tianjiao's money, and you can forget about getting it back," he said solemnly.
"Can Chu Tianjiao compare to my Ma Yi?" The devil's face showed a mocking expression.
Wang Anzhi became interested upon hearing this, and he listed them one by one: "If we only consider bloodline, Mai is A-rank, which is almost the same as her younger sister, Senior Sister Jiu Deya, while Chu Tianjiao is S-rank, which would have been enough for her to become a knight in the era of the Dragon Clan."
In terms of identity, Chu Tianjiao bears Loki's mark, and his son Chu Zihang is both an enemy and a friend of Caesar, who can effectively interfere with this naive young man.
......"
"Do you think I care about these things?" the devil interrupted him, looking somewhat angry.
Wang Anzhi shrugged. "Since you're worried that your brother is trapped in Nibelungen, so you specially sent a sacrifice in, then I will naturally accept this sacrifice and take your brother out."
Is there a problem with that?
Looking at the devil with a dark face but still trying to appear elegant, Wang Anzhi continued, "Besides, I didn't forcibly take your person. Didn't I give you back a Chu Tianjiao?"
Wang Anzhi looked at him and said, "In some ways, you've hit the jackpot."
As he spoke, he leaned forward, carefully examining the devil's youthful face before him, and added, "And wasn't all of this within your expectations?"
The devil was speechless. He had foreseen this outcome when he sent out Mai Shude, but he still did it because he could not bear the consequences of losing his brother, Lu Mingfei.
For Loki, for Odin, for many others, "Lu Mingfei" was not important; what mattered was the "Supreme" hidden within him. But for him alone, it was different.
That is why he was willing to sacrifice a loyal subordinate in exchange for his absolute safety.
But even a devil cannot confront his own heart, even though this perfectly aligns with the central theme of the dragon race's so-called "power and might." He could only change the subject:
"I think you should know some of the truth by now, and why I insisted on sending my brother to Kassel College!"
“Of course, of course,” Wang Anzhi said with some emotion. “Kassel College is the current center. It houses two Dragon Kings and countless Dark Lords. Their mission to slay dragons is certainly radical, but it also naturally raises a banner.”
As he spoke, Wang Anzhi couldn't help but belittle the devil opposite him, "and that you only have the option of sending your brother to Kassel College."
Lu Mingze had no choice. After agreeing to cooperate openly with Angers and secretly with Loki, his only options were to fight to the death or obediently cooperate and become a peerless "dragon-slaying sword".
Faced with such humiliation, the devil chooses to swallow his anger. He can even put aside hatred and choose to cooperate with his former enemies, let alone someone with whom he has no grudge.
The devil said calmly:
"That's right, only my brother is still immersed in the worries and joys of stepping into the new world."
Before anyone knew it, he had also picked up a cup of coffee and slowly drank it.
"Whenever I see his happy and wonderful appearance, I can't help but feel gratified and jealous at the same time. While I bear all the pain, he can still enjoy joy and solitude."
"That's wonderful, I just can't resist ruining it."
He silently clenched the cup in his hand, and the cup shattered, shards of glass cutting his right hand.
Drenched with blood.
Chapter 87 Nuwa Reappears
Wang Anzhi watched as golden blood splattered onto the wooden table and shards of glass spilled on the ground, and unusually, he remained silent in mockery.
The peculiar relationship between the brothers Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze is something that he, as an outsider, can hardly comment on.
"Please excuse my poor appearance," the devil said, producing a handkerchief from his hand and gently wiping his cracked palm.
Wang Anzhi noticed this and asked, "Are you injured?"
"Just a minor injury." The devil showed no sign of weakness.
Wang Anzhi seemed to be deep in thought, but he didn't ask any further questions, just as he didn't ask about the Black King's Egg.
He knew that the devil could not answer these questions.
“I think you saw that imposter Chu Tianjiao too, right?” Wang Anzhi asked again.
“Yes!” The devil tightened his face, trying to appear authoritative, even though this would make the little boy seem more adorable and easily win the favor of the priest and Japan.
