Chapter 1376: Chapter 103: The Promise
In the small parlor next to the living room.
The true dragon of China was standing in front of the wall… having already dressed, she now had her hands against the wall, her forehead gently knocking on it.
I want to die…
She recalled, how did she end up saying those words? Impulse? Brainless?
I want to die…
But… she didn’t seem to regret it too much.
She stopped her impulse to headbutt the wall, slowly exhaled—a feeling that everything now felt much better than before, though it might just be an illusion.
The true dragon of China couldn’t help but mock herself: “It seems being honest has its benefits…”
How could she not know her own thoughts, she wasn’t really a young girl in her prime.
It’s just that the heart of a true dragon is hard to stir… but once truly invaded, it bees quite horrifying.
The suppressed emotions over thousands of years are like a flood… inheriting the power of the true dragon had directly elevated her to the level of the world’s strongest, there was never any need to cultivate the state of mind like those Taoists.
All so-called heart demons are automatically crushed to bits by the true dragon’s power of the Godly Land before they even approach… thus there was never an issue of going insane. But conversely, once such a problem arises, even the true dragon’s power wouldn’t know how to handle it.
Originally, there shouldn’t have been anything within China that could disturb the heart of the true dragon… only this club owner was an exception.
“That guy… wouldn’t think of me as… that easy, right?”
Should she go back to the living room or not?
What should she say upon returning to the living room??
What should she do after this??
Even though she made a declaration, she hadn’t considered what to actually do!
Everything was due to a momentary impulse, and even…
Once calmed, she couldn’t help but bee bewildered.
The true dragon of China subconsciously touched her lips, muttering to herself: “So this is what a man’s lips feel like…”
I want to die…
She suddenly stood up, grabbed her own hair and messed it up, then took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked out, not caring anymore!
We’ll cross that bridge when we get there!
There’s… no controlling it anymore!
…
…
Taking a deep breath in front of the door, the true dragon of China slowly pushed open the door to the living room, then closed it… her eyes meeting Luo Qiu’s gaze.
Her back pressed against the door panel, her hands nervously grasping at her clothes, “Um… I, I changed my clothes.”
“Mm, I see.” Luo Qiu smiled slightly: “I just brewed some tea, e over and have some.”
Just like that?
Long Xiruo froze for a moment… this guy, why does it seem like nothing ever happened?
“Won’t you e over?” Boss Luo asked with a smile again.
The true dragon of China then awkwardly walked over and awkwardly sat down… her heart pounding fiercely, whereas previously she could look at him for a few seconds, now she couldn’t even dare to meet his eye.
What is this nervousness about…
“Do you want sugar?” Luo Qiu picked up the cup with sugar cubes and asked.
“No need…” she shook her head instinctively, then forced a casual tone: “…Where are they?”
In the living room, now only she and Luo Qiu were present, as for the Golden Dragon and Teresa who remained the same, could be ignored—Miss Maid and Luo Pianqian were still absent, and even the young girl Mina seemed to be gone.
She remembered… when she first started talking with Luo Qiu, that mysterious girl seemed to no longer be in the living room… seemed she said she was a bit tired, went to take a nap or something, left alone from the living room.
“You Ye and Miss Pianqian are in the kitchen.” Boss Luo casually said: “Seems like they are preparing some late-night snacks. As for Miss Mina…”
While speaking, Boss Luo glanced at a certain spot—the place where there used to be a bundle of rolled-up beast skin diaries, but now the diary was gone, “…seems she’s still resting.”
“Oh…” Long Xiruo responded instinctively, then looked down at the tea cup in her hands, feeling restless, “So… umm…”
“Hmm?”
“No… nothing.” She dryly laughed twice, “The tea is good! Mm… it’s really good, really good… Have some tea, you drink too! Ahahaha…”
—Can’t you just be a bit more encouraging…
“If the previous incident feels unpleasant, need me to help erase it?” Boss Luo suddenly offered, “After all, it’s because of me that you have such unpleasant memories, so I wouldn’t charge any fee for it.”
“No!” she blurted out.
—Already… don’t have the courage to go through it again, if… really forget everything about it.
“Then that’s really a pity.” Boss Luo expressed a small regret.
“Are you saying I made you unfortable??” The true dragon of China glared… if only she could beat him, she’d love to crush this annoying face—!!
“Looks like, you’re more lively.” Luo Qiu smiled slightly, “I was worried your mood might deteriorate.”
The true dragon of China coughed twice… why is this calmness really because of not having a {heart}?
She couldn’t help but look into Luo Qiu’s eyes… trying to see something in them.
But within mere seconds, her violently beating heart made her unable to continue staring… she could only lower her head and sip tea, inadvertently asking, “By the way, what were you thinking just now…”
“Miss Long means, about you wanting me to be your man?” Boss Luo said offhandedly.
Spit——!!!! Cough cough cough cough——!!
She felt her ear roots were red… damn, the worst part was this sly businessman seemed not at all bothered, truly a heartless ****… feeling a thousand times displeased.
“I mean! About releasing you from the club!” The true dragon of China exhaled, shot a glare, then solemnly said: “There must be a way, right? Since the club owner can be replaced… Have you never considered finding a substitute for yourself? Or do you have no such intention? Reluctant to give up that scheming girl?”
“I have considered it.”
The Godly Land Dragon was taken aback by such a definitive answer.
Only then did Luo Qiu slowly speak, “But unfortunately, up until now, I have not found a way… The Club Owner can also buy things he needs from the shop, but to this day, I have been unable to access this part of the content.”
“Why?” She couldn’t help but furrow her brow, “You are already the Club Owner, what can still restrict you… In the end, what is the true nature of this shop?”
Luo Qiu looked at her, and spoke softly: “Ms. Long, you must stop your probing… because even I am unaware of what harm there might be if you continue—besides, this question, I can no longer provide as free information to you.”
“Then just buy it!” The Godly Land Dragon said indifferently… At this moment, what she was thinking about was how to liberate this man.
“I’m afraid…” Boss Luo smiled wryly: “Even if I were to make you mine immediately, it’s still not enough.”
Pfft—!! *cough cough cough*—!!!
—How can you say such things so easily… It’s maddening!!!
“Is it really… that serious?” Long Xiruo parted her lips, “I mean, if I continue to probe…”
Boss Luo gently nodded.
The Godly Land Dragon remained silent at this moment.
…
After a long while, the true dragon seemed to have acclimated to the current atmosphere, perhaps after contemplating many things, she spoke calmly: “I understand, in terms of my Power… or should I say, until my value bees sufficiently high, I will not probe further into your truths… but that does not mean I will abandon what I previously stated.”
Boss Luo parted his lips, and curiously asked: “Ms. Long, why are you so adamant about making me your man?”
Pfft—!! *cough cough cough*—!!!
“What I’m talking about is liberating you!! Liberation!! Understand?!”
The Godly Land Dragon replied in annoyance: “Don’t misunderstand! This is not solely for you, I have deeper considerations. Yes, I admit, your existence can indeed provide unprecedented convenience for those in need… Even achieving wishes. But as discussed previously, even without you, individuals can acplish most things through their own efforts. Instead, because of your existence, everyone develops a dependency, and your ultimate goal is nothing more than taking others’ souls… Although I don’t know what you ultimately want souls for, the one thing I am certain of is that if you are allowed to continue existing, what will bee of this world in the end? Furthermore… your Power is too dangerous for the world.”
She looked at Luo Qiu, and said with utmost seriousness: “I cannot watch idly as this potential danger erupts within the Godly Land… Especially you, I don’t wish for the day when your Power bees uncontrollable… Perhaps even I won’t be able to hold it off for a moment. So, considering all these, that’s why I wonder if you can be liberated, then explore the methods to solve this force behind you.”
“I see.” Boss Luo nodded, then smiled slightly: “I trust you, Ms. Long. However… just making me your man isn’t necessary for that.”
Pfft—!! *cough cough cough*—!!
With a slap, she pressed her palms on the tabletop and stood up suddenly… At the moment of rising, the chair moved backward, hitting the floor with a thud.
Just stared intently like that.
Luo Qiu was taken aback.
At this time, she didn’t avoid his gaze, “Do you…really enjoy, enjoy tormenting me like this.”
This was a side she had never shown before, a gentle expression.
Luo Qiu parted his lips, instinctively reached out, intending to touch the face so close to him… But the hand, only raised halfway, quickly fell back down.
Unexpectedly, the Godly Land Dragon’s quick eyes and hands caught him directly, pressing it to her face, “What are you afraid of? So hard just to touch? Look at me, tell me, am I true or false to you?”
“Suddenly, I feel very happy.” Luo Qiu hadn’t withdrawn his hand, “Someone who cares about me like this… thank you.”
…Except for her at home, and You Ye, there is no one else who cares about what is precious to him… what’s genuine.
…After all, in the eyes of all the people contacted, he… is always excellent, always omnipotent.
“Don’t move!”
Long Xiruo gritted her teeth at this moment, it had reached this point, she didn’t intend to retreat.
The Godly Land Dragon simply went all out, bypassing the table and hugging this guy in his seat, “I… may not be a qualified venting object, but… there is still time. If… if there’s anything you can’t say to others, or is stuffed in your heart and unfortable, you can… e to me. Some things you… probably can’t even talk to your maid about, right? Just like last time… you kept it all to yourself.”
That was the night the entire hemisphere blacked out.
Luo Qiu obediently didn’t move, just slowly closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of her body… able to hear the beating of her heart.
Strong and powerful, like a mountain breeze, like the flowing water of mighty rivers, ceaselessly.
He took a deep breath and softly said: “There’s the taste of mountains and rivers… truly forting.”
“Is… is that so.” The Godly Land Dragon swallowed hard, “If you like it… reluctantly let you experience it a little more…”
“You might not be able to escape.” Luo Qiu suddenly said in a low voice, “It already prevents me from giving up any reason to obtain your soul anymore… you know.”
“Then… e.” She lowered her head, gently stroked his hair, “See whether I win or lose. When you are finally liberated from its grasp, give me an answer then…”
After a while, she released Luo Qiu.
Boss Luo then thought for a moment, and said: “I just feel like, even in the scenario you mentioned… I might still choose You Ye.”
Content too realistic.
The true dragon staggered abruptly, indignantly saying: “Can’t you say something that fits the occasion?!?!”
“Any deceit is likely to harm you.” Luo Qiu shook his head.
The Godly Land Dragon furrowed her brow again, grabbed Boss Luo’s collar, then stepped onto his chair, looking down: “Listen, boy… If you don’t even give me a chance to pete, forget about getting my soul! Didn’t you say you owe me one thing? Is this request excessive?”
“I feel like…” Boss Luo smiled wryly, “a bit self-binding.”
“What are your plaints then?”
The true dragon forcefully pulled Luo Qiu’s collar again—almost wanting to write “villain” on his face.
“Nothing… just feels like using up this request so soon, is it somewhat inappropriate?” Luo Qiu shook his head.
Long Xiruo snorted coldly: “Why not use it when you can? Keep it to rot?”
“Definitely, precisely your style, Ms. Long.”
Luo Qiu let out a laugh like a child, and then his expression became solemn, as though making a promise, “I shall fulfill your request, esteemed ‘King’. Your Majesty.”
The relieved true dragon finally let go of her hand, then glanced at the wrinkled collar of the Boss’s clothes, turned away, “I am never gentle… you, you be careful yourself!”
…
—One day, I will pull you out of that abyss.
