“What…what has happened to me?”
Sui Xiong had done a good job transforming her body. Steele immediately stumbled a bit after trying to stand up, feeling very weak and confused. She looked around and cast her eyes on Ray, who was very nervous, and then the jellyfish floating in front of her. She then asked Ray, “Am I delusional? Why do I see a sea jelly floating in the air in front of me? Your Majesty, is it your pet?”
Hearing this, Ray began to laugh, while Sui Xiong was quite annoyed.
This silly woman…a sea jelly?! That was a snack for me! I am a jellyfish damnit! Yes, it’s true that a sea jelly is a jellyfish in a way, but a jellyfish is certainly not a sea jelly! They are different!
Not to mention…a pet! Ray is my follower. How can she be so ridiculous that she sees me as a pet, and Ray as the master! Saving her was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my whole life!
When Steele finally knew what had transpired, she was so excited and cried out, “Your Majesty, even the sun is shadowed by your righteousness and mercy! To return your favor, I can only—”
“You don’t need to return my favor! I simply did the right thing, and that is all. And now we’ll say goodbye!” Sui Xiong instantly interrupted her, since he thought what she was going to say would be “I would do anything for you” or something along those lines. Although Steele was very sincere, Sui Xiong still felt she was plotting something.
What if she said “I can only return the favor by giving myself to you”, how embarrassing would that be! And then I’d definitely get grief about it from Ray too.
“Even if you don’t want me to return the favor, please allow me to follow you!” Steele’s eyes were watering as she pleaded, as if she was ready to burst into tears at any moment. “Since the King of Sex and Lust does not want me, with this appearance, I will never be able to live among normal people again. If I don’t follow you, I don’t know where I can go!”
“We are about to cross the Wild Marsh of Ancient Woods, the Broken Cloud Mountains, and the Ancient Forest, and then we’ll arrive at the Commonwealth of Mifata. If you, a weak creature, come with us, you will be nothing but a burden,” Ray said, refusing her request instantly.
Obviously, he underestimated Steele’s intelligence and moral integrity. Hearing this, Steele quickly responded with an idea.
“Your Majesty, don’t you think there are certain kinds of people that you do not have among your followers?” she said coyly.
“Certain kinds of people that you don’t have…?” Sui Xiong then looked at Ray and looked at Steele. “Who are they?”
“We have everyone we need,” Ray said. In case he hadn’t been persuasive enough, he emphasized, “WE HAVE EVERYONE WE NEED!”
“See? We have everyone we need,” Sui Xiong said, “as Ray says.”
Steele smiled, and said, “Men are all quite thoughtless, which is normal. But from my point of view, there should be a cook, a servant and other personnel who are in charge of reconnaissance.”
“Don’t tell me you are versatile and can do all these things…” Ray spat out, mouth twitching. “I am not that stupid!”
“Who would dare lie in front of a god? I am a good cook and know how to please a man, and it is my life that has forced me to learn all these things.”
Sui Xiong was amazed by what she had said and responded, “Forced by your life? How can an aristocrat like you be forced to learn all these things?”
Steele sighed and slowly said, “Some men with principles like neither money nor women; they are brave and strong-minded. In order to seduce them, I had to learn other skills…”
Hearing this, Sui Xiong nodded.
“Besides, men always have some peculiar interests. There were some men who couldn’t even be seduced with a naked woman standing right in front of him, but if you wore an apron or dress like a housemaid and called him ‘master’, all of a sudden he’d be out of breath.”
Sui Xiong kept nodding.
