AST 1734 - One Disagreeable Word, Dead End? (1/2)
“Hi, I’m Yan Ziyun,” the male Ocean Demon nodded to Qing Shui.
Qing Shui didn’t expect him to be so assertive and thick-skinned. That sometimes symbolized strength and confidence. As the saying went, those who were brazen would attain luxury. Those who were sensitive would remain in poverty.
Qing Shui was speechless. Though the Mistresses weren’t his women, he wouldn’t allow others to take a share. For sure, he wouldn’t interfere their affairs if it wasn’t of their own wills.
“What can I do for you?” Qing Shui’s expression remained the same. Though it wasn’t pure hatred, it was absolutely far from fondness.
“Are they your women?” The male Ocean Demon was apparently not interested in Qing Shui’s name. All he wanted to know was the relationship between the Mistresses and Qing Shui. If they weren’t related, he wouldn’t have to fuss over it; if they’re directly related, then he would have to deal with Qing Shui.
“We are his women,” replied the Sunset Palace Mistress immediately. That made Qing Shui, who initially wanted to deny anything, lose his words at once.
Muyun Qingge smiled, looking at Qing Shui’s expression as if he was in grief. However, after a second thought, she pouted in discontentment because Qing Shui felt that he was at a disadvantage for admitting that they as his women.
Yan Ziyun was stunned. His dim light of hope vanished following that statement. Soon after, he displayed a gentle manner again since he noticed that both of them were inexperienced women.
Thinking of that, the male Ocean Demon smiled and said, “Young man, they’re no ordinary women. You have yet to qualify to live with them. Their constitutions would take your life away. What if we make a deal? I can give you what you want and you give them to me, alright?”
Qing Shui was at loss for words. He hated being unable to beat this man up. Yet, he recalled that the women in Main Continents and the Ocean Domains usually didn’t stand in high positions unless they were extremely powerful. Gender equality had been debated here, however, in this strength-prioritized world, women were physically weaker than men. Of course, there were also many stronger women, though they were the minority
It’s similar or even worse in the world of Ocean Demons. Snatching and changing women were allowed as long as one had the strength. Hence, Yan Ziyun’s reaction was not surprising. Nevertheless, Qing Shui frowned as he disliked such trouble the most.
“What about this? You offer a price and I’ll buy you!” Qing Shui said to Yan Ziyun after pondering.
Yan Ziyun gave a happy smile initially upon listening to Qing Shui’s bargain. As long as Qing Shui dared to bid, then negotiation was possible. Plus, he had a lot of treasures. Any one or two of them could make the deal. He was delighted to think of that.
However, Yan Ziyun startled when he heard Qing Shui’s last few lines, and he progressed into fury instantly. The Ocean Demons regarded themselves to be very elegant, ranking higher than most of the tribes. Although the Mermaids and the Drakainas were the most honorable, they were only royals in decline, with spied-on identities. If Yan Ziyun was able to have a women from the Mermaids and the Drakainas as his concubines, the satisfaction would be beyond words.
Besides, it was well-known among the tribes that the Yin constitution of the Drakainas and Mermaids could enhance warriors’ cultivation and stabilize their foundation.
“Do you know what you’re saying? How dare you humiliate the Ocean Demons.” Yan Ziyun turned ice cold at once, a sharp and tense aura attacking Qing Shui head-on.
A ridiculing smile crept onto Qing Shui’s face. Looking at Yan Ziyun before him, he said, “Did you just say bullshit? To exchange for my women? Wouldn’t your mother choke you to death if she finds out?”
Qing Shui knew the unspoken rules in this world. Despite the fact that there were many similar cases, nobody would like it. Everyone talked about equalities yet continued the inequalities.
Qing Shui couldn’t deny that.
