Chapter 21 - Pain is my Maiden! (1/2)

Jasmine: Reason?

Jean: I still have dignity, girl.

Jasmine: Hee… This is not up to you!

Jasmine's right hand had already grabbed Jean's shoulder as quick as lightning, and he instantly felt as if he was pressed down by a mountain, forcefully kneeling in the ground, however, he was unable to stand.

Jasmine: Immediately kowtow to this princess and this princess will officially become your master; not only would you change your Profound Veins, you shall be guided onto the right path during your cultivation of the profound.

Jean: You think that... the thing I showed you earlier... is the only thing I can do?

Jasmine's eyes widened slightly and let him go, she didn't want to risk her life for of a request like that. She already saw Jean bending reality and killing someone with the same attack that was inflicted to him, that was not a joke, it goes against the heavens! NO! It was even worse than the technique that she found out from a treasure she found before.

Moon Star Restoration, this technique would permit a certain person to send back any type of attack, an instant counter. However, it consumes a great deal of Lifespan, but this person just showed her a strange technique that it could reverse the ”EFFECTS” of the attacks, not the attack itself, and it didn't show any side-effects, the only disadvantage she could mention is that it requires the person to be injured first. God knows what this guy can do...

Jasmine: Tch… Whatever, I'll be your master even without you kowtowing… I will let you be my disciple, but it's only because I don't want to teach the ways of the Profound to a random person for no reason. To be able to become my disciple, it's the biggest fortune you'll have in your entire life.

From now on, it is absolutely necessary for you to always address me as your Master.

Jean: Ugh… This…

Jasmine: You're not willing?

Jean: Well, I already had a master before, the one who gave me the Sky Poison Pearl. He was a kind looking old man with white hair, and I've already called him ”Master” for many years.

So everytime the word ”master” is mentioned, I would unconsciously think of him. But since you are a ”Little Cute Ball of Joy and Love”, it would be awkward calling you master…

Jasmine: ...Nevermind, you can call me Jasmine, but you must not forget in your head that I'm your master! Furthermore, you must not forget your duty and place as my disciple!

He extended an arm at her, making Jasmine raise an eyebrow.

Jean: What? Never heard of an handshake?

Jasmine hesitantly grabbed Jean's hand, and Jean shook their hands.

Jean: I will treat you as my master, don't call you ”Master” and help you with your conditions, but you will teach me things and help me on my way to the peak, also, if you ask things about a certain thing of me that you will find suspicious, I will be free to answer, same thing for you, ok?

Jasmine: ...Yes.

Jean: Hm, about the Profound Veins…

Jasmine: Bring me to a place that no one will come near.

Jean: Understandable, follow me.

Then Jean led her deeper into the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range until they were in a dark part, meaning that they got deep enough, his stomach was rumbling with hunger, so he took out his Sneakers and opened the package.

Jasmine: What's that?

Jean: A sweet, do you want a piece?

Jasmine: Mm.

She hummed and Jean divided the chocolate bar in two, before giving one piece to Jasmine, she observed the sweet before taking a bite… Some instants later it disappeared from her hands and her lips were dirty.

Jasmine: Hey, do you have another?

Jean: No, that was the only one I had.

He just finished his own half and looked behind him, seeing Jasmine looking coldly at him, but he could see disappointment when he said that it was the only one. He checked his watch and saw a message that just came in.

*Achievement: ”FBI, OPEN UP!!”: I see what you did there.*

*Reward: Foundation Strengthening Pellet.*

A pellet appeared on his hand before he let it disappear in the Sky Poison Pearl, then Jean said.

Jean: Alright, this should be the right place.

Jasmine looked around and nodded in affirmation, then she said with a cold tone.
