Chapter 441: Experiences (2/2)
But he learned so many things during his days in the lower worlds. He learned how dark humans' heart can be and what extent they could do to achieve their goals. Nevertheless, it didn't stop him from making some friends who he could trust.
”But on the other side of this dark reality, you will realize so many things. You will discover treasures and sceneries amazing enough to topple the heavens. You will meet friends and comrades that will help you in your journey and such.” Jin Rou added as he reminisced his memories together with the friends he made during his travels.
”Indeed, it is nice to have some true friends to accompany you on your journey. It's nice...” The old woman's gentle eyes suddenly flashed with bitterness and coldness, ”Unfortunately, I haven't found one. All of who I trusted had eventually betrayed me for the sake of power. Power has always outweighed anything else.”
Jin Rou didn't comment on this. He didn't experience what the old woman had been through, so he didn't dare to say anything about this.
There's a quiet silence between them, the princess didn't speak anything and just listened to the two who were speaking like they were friends. It was nice to listen to some deep talks for rare times.
The old woman broke the silence and smiled, ”Anyway, with my age, I really don't care about friendship or camaraderie. All I need is to get stronger so that I can protect myself and a certain someone dear to me.”
”So you are pursuing power in order to protect?” Jin Rou asked.
”You can say it that way.” The old woman chuckled and answered, ”It's nice to have a reason to use your strength other than killing nonsensically, right?”
Jin Rou pursed his lips. But he was agreeing with the old woman's words. It was really nice to have a reason to protect.
The two talked for an hour or two before reaching their conclusion. The old woman stretched her right hand and said, ”Young Master Jin is so open minded that it is very nice to talk with you. I hope we can have the time to talk again in the future.”
”If fate permits, I don't mind talking with you again Master Xuyi. You are so nice to talk too.” Jin Rou stretched his hand also and made a handshake.
After that, Jin Rou stood up and said, ”I'll be going now, Master Xuyi. I know you are busy of a person so I won't impose on you anymore. Furthermore, I have my own dealings too, so I have to be on the get-go.”
”Then I won't hold you back, Young Master.” The old woman smiled. But before she could say more, a familiar voice suddenly rang their ears saying...
”Master....?”
