At that moment, after hearing Ming Yue’s explanation, Jiang Xuan was left utterly speechless.
Previously, he had recklessly offered himself freely, all thanks to his mediocre looks.
But with no System-branded skincare products to cover up anymore, he dared not utter those words again.
After all, saying such things would only lead to the end of his good days.
Now, whether he said it or not seemed to make no difference anyway.
Just then, Ming Yue pinched Jiang Xuan’s face with both hands, her eyes fixed on him as she gave a charming smile.
“Ah? You won’t even give me some sincerity, yet you still want me to believe in you?
I may be a righteous female warrior, but it seems like you think of me as a silly girl.
Whenever you said those things behind my back, weren’t you secretly delighted?
Because you knew I’d refuse, and you were just playing games with me, right?”
“No…no…it was really heartfelt…”
“Oh? Really heartfelt? Then will you also offer yourself to me now?
Go ahead, say it; I want to hear you beg me!”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!”
Right then, Jiang Xuan felt completely numb.
[What kind of operation is this?! I never had any intention of offering myself, yet it feels like I’m now fully at the mercy of this little ancestor.
It’s like an arrow on a bowstring, ready to be shot.
Why did it turn out like this? Reflecting, I was foolish to trust that foolish bird from the start, leading to one mistake after another.
Fine, fine, that bird better not cross my path, or I swear I’ll k*ll it, cook it, and eat it for sure!]
On the surface, under increasing pressure from Ming Yue, Jiang Xuan finally couldn’t take it anymore.
He was only silent for a moment when the System kept reminding him about the drastic drop in his relationship score with Ming Yue, plummeting from -6666 to -8888, and still dropping.
At that moment, Ming Yue released Jiang Xuan’s face and smiled regretfully.
“Alright, since you don’t wish to offer yourself, there’s no need for you to continue as my servant.
I’m a very reasonable member of the Monster Clan. If sincere feelings aren’t returned with sincerity, then I have decided to give up.
Didn’t you want freedom? Consider yourself free now.
Don’t worry, I treat humans and monsters alike with broad-mindedness. Even if you leave, you’ll always be a friend to me.
Oh, since you’re a weak man leaving me, just make sure you stay safe.
Your current state would make you vulnerable to stronger monsters.
If they get their hands on you by accident, the consequences could be dire. Beyond being locked away, you might even be tortured beyond recognition.
Monster society can be scary, but you’ve barely scratched the surface.
Truthfully, not every monster has a heart like mine.
I’ll spare the lecture. Go, get away while the wind isn’t dying down and before I change my mind.”
Seeing Ming Yue’s righteousness reach its peak, Jiang Xuan initially felt a bit touched. But a glance at the System’s message instantly rooted him in place.
d*mn, this stern righteousness is at -9999. What gives?
Clearly, no sincerity exists. Trust between people—or rather, between human and monster—is a joke!
Now, Jiang Xuan was certain that as soon as he dared to flee, Ming Yue would definitely catch him and imprison him, maybe even torture him endlessly.
Facing Ming Yue’s seemingly volatile –9999 relationship level, Jiang Xuan ultimately gave in.
Since the outcome would be the same anyway, he figured he might as well choose the lesser evil, even if it meant losing some dignity.
But dignity had long been abandoned by Jiang Xuan; he understood that a weak person’s dignity was worthless.
Dignity must be earned through strength, and the only way to gain it was to become stronger.
With that in mind, Jiang Xuan finally stuttered.
“Miss Ming Yue… please allow me to continue being your servant… to show my sincerity, I am willing to offer myself…”
“Really? Hmm? I’m always upfront. If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you. Let’s confirm this—were you truly willing?”
Jiang Xuan: “…….”
Inside, Jiang Xuan silently flipped her off and grumbled,
[I’ve never met anyone so shamelessly bold. She’s after the body, face, and even the reputation of a hero. And I’m just a part of her ‘game.’]
In response, Jiang Xuan looked both humiliated and angry.
“Yes… it was my choice… please honor my request, Miss Ming Yue.”
Hearing this, Ming Yue frowned slightly, looking somewhat conflicted.
“Ah, I thought you were someone close. Now, you’re craving my body and actually asking for this ridiculous offer.
This makes it hard for me.
But out of respect for helping others, I honestly can’t find a reason to refuse.
Fine, for the sake of being your close attendant, I’ll reluctantly agree this time.”
Jiang Xuan: “…….”
Watching Ming Yue’s dramatic twists and turns, Jiang Xuan was astounded. He hadn’t realized she was such a drama queen.
He used to think Ming Yue was easy to manipulate until this incident thoroughly broke his defenses.
Her cunning and theatrics far exceeded his expectations.
Moreover, every bad woman he encountered earlier had direct and strong tactics. But Ming Yue’s methods were way beyond their scope.
Even offering himself required begging her consent. He never felt this humbled before.
Just as Jiang Xuan thought the drama was over, Ming Yue unexpectedly spoke:
“Xiao Jiang, having accepted your offer, do you intend to show it?”
Jiang Xuan responded obliviously, “Show what, Miss Ming Yue? We’re still in a small village. Should you really…?”
Before he could finish, Ming Yue interrupted him.
“All the business here is done. Let’s head back to base.
But first, since you’re preparing to offer yourself, wouldn’t it be normal to come over and let me kiss you a few times?”
