Chapter 925: Sleeping and its Price (1/2)

The girl did not react at all to this. She merely looked at the young man and asked apathetically, “Why must we be friends?”

“Because I’m the type you like.” The young man revealed a radiant smile as a faint pattern flashed on his forehead.

The young girl’s eyes widened in surprise. “Y-You’re…”

The young man seemed to have no intention of hiding his identity. “Correct, I’m a demonkin.”

The young girl looked curious. “How can a demonkin come here? Isn’t it said that coming here is like entering a furnace for your race?”

“There are always some thick-skinned people.” The young man revealed his white teeth.

“You don’t look like it, though.”

“You can’t judge a book by its cover.”

The young girl came to a sudden realization. “Does that mean you look good, but you’re actually evil and dangerous inside?”

The demonkin almost stumbled into the bonfire. Not knowing whether to laugh or to cry, he said while pointing to his chest, “I’m not that kind of person! I always speak my mind, I never lie.”

“All liars say the same thing.”

“Goodness! It’s not even certain if there’s someone in the neutral lands that’s worth lying to!”

“Oh, then what are you lying to me for?” The young girl’s eyes widened.

The young demonkin nearly collapsed, but the young girl immediately added, “Actually, you don’t need to lie to me. Just tell me directly and I’ll sell anything for the right price… including this.”

With that, she patted the large cleaver beside her.

The demonkin said unceremoniously, “How about yourself? Will you sell that?”

The young girl was initially surprised, yet after pondering for a few moments, she said, “You want me to kill someone for you?”

A deep darkness crept up in the demonkin’s eyes when he saw the girl’s serious yet confused little face. He pointed at the girl with a spurious smile, saying, “Killing, I can do myself. I want you to sleep with me.”

The girl was puzzled. “Why would you need someone to sleep with you? Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?”

This time, it was the young demonkin’s turn to be startled because the girl had spoken with such confidence. Perhaps she had never slept close to anyone since she was a kid, nor had she ever slept deeply.

“It seems you’ve had tough days, were you always being hunted down?”

“It’s always been hunt or be hunted, isn’t this world just like that?” The girl seemed more relaxed and at ease while discussing survival.

But the young demonkin seemed even more excited, almost as though he had just found a new void continent. “Are you willing to sleep with me? It’s not just sleeping together, we have to do other stuff as well. Yes, haven’t you seen some men and women doing things when you sneak in to kill people?”

“Rolling around in bed without armor?”

“Yes! Exactly!” The young demonkin’s eyes lit up.

“Not wearing armor is dumb, no matter the time or situation,” the young girl commented.

The young demonkin was between laughter and tears. “You’re not wearing any armor, either.”

“I don’t need armor, this is my best armor.” The young girl pointed at the large cleaver beside her. “What do you think? Want to buy it? It’s really great. It was made from the forelimb of an arachne duke, especially powerful against heavy armor. The weaker ones, yes, like you, it’ll cut open directly. Both horizontally and vertically.”

“Cleaver made from the forelimb of a duke?I’m too poor, can’t afford that.”

The girl gave it some thought. “This thing is really hard to come by. I almost lost half my life trying to get it. No matter what, it won’t come cheap.”

The young demonkin raised his hands. “I’m really poor! Why don’t we go back to talking about sleeping together? What’s your price?”

The young girl was apparently puzzled. “I don’t know, I’ll need to think about it. That kind of thing, it seems, it seems…”

The young demonkin took a deep breath and suppressed his breathing. “It’s actually nothing, you’ll probably come to like it later on. You take your time to think about it, so let’s turn back to serious matters.”

“What you mean is… sleeping together isn’t a serious matter?”

The girl’s sudden sharpness caught the young demonkin off-guard. “That’s also a serious matter, very serious, and it’s also extremely important. So, you have to take your time to think about it. As for the next thing, it’s just a small matter.”

“What’s this small matter?”

Seeing that she was no longer insistent, the young demonkin became a bit more relaxed. “The matter is quite simple. You have a difficult enemy called Qianye, right?”
