Lide remembered that in his previous life, there were many people around who liked movies about troubled times or the end of the world. Because in the chaos, the system has completely collapsed. The once high-ranking women only need a little food to be picked by the king. The power of life and death is all gathered in one body. The stimulation is enough to arouse anyone's nerves.
Now Lide also has an absolute advantage, and he is facing a similar scene. The person sitting in front of him is the most beautiful woman in the world and the third lord in the world.
Lord Lingwu's beautiful phoenix eyes were a bit unwilling, his eyebrows raised, and he looked at Lide from bottom to top; but if Lide really did something, she could do nothing but be at the mercy of others.
However, under such circumstances, Lord Lingwu quickly returned to his usual demeanor, and said to Lide:
"Is this level of threat necessary? You saved me because you just wanted to get information about this secret realm from me."
"This is Kungu's shelter, and there are countless traps that can put people to death. Without me, it is impossible for you to get out of here."
"In this case... do you think I'll answer your question?"
Even though he just woke up, Lord Lingwu still figured out the current situation immediately. Because her body was still very weak, she didn't speak fast, but her tone was very cold. She didn't plan to answer Lied's question, because the answer stayed in her heart, so she could be really safe.
Lid stared into her eyes. Under the firelight, the two looked at each other quietly.
Just like the scene where two people once looked at each other while heading north. It's just that Lide stood on a high place this time, looking down at Lord Lingwu. Facing her threat, Lid also smiled, moved in front of her, helped her smooth out the wrinkles on the veil, and slid his thumb across her lips through the veil.
This obviously too intimate gesture immediately aroused great disgust from Lord Lingwu. She turned her head sideways, shook off Lide's hand, and glared at him. With a smile on his face, Li De stretched out his hand to Lord Lingwu's cheek even more vigorously, looking ready to be frivolous, and at the same time lowered his voice and said:
"I want to know where your bottom line is."
Lord Lingwu looked at him and said:
"That's my bottom line. You can drop your hand, and then neither of us will go out."
"I will die here, dragging you along."
Her tone was extremely cold, and her aura almost overwhelmed Lid in an instant. The majesty formed by being in the top position for a long time cannot be broken casually, no matter how downcast she is, she is still a queen to the letter.
But just after she finished saying this, Lid calmly put down his hand, and caressed her flabbergasted cheek wantonly. He leaned into Lord Lingwu's ear and said softly:
"What now?"
A strangeness finally appeared on the expression of the Lingwu Lord. She concealed it very well, but there was a subtle tremor in her body, which Lid could clearly feel. Without waiting for her to say anything, Lide took the initiative to move his hand away, opened a little distance, and said with a smile:
"I don't have to go out because I don't have any obsessions. I have been in Yuxi City for two years, and I have established a complete system. Most of the power is given to the people around me. Even if I am not here, Yuxi City It can also continue to develop, I, the hands-off shopkeeper, is just sitting back and enjoying the benefits. What about you? Can you be as free and easy as me?"
Lord Lingwu fell into a brief silence, while Lide continued:
"After spending so much energy, planning such a big plan, and killing so many subjects, if you say no, you don't want it? I heard He Yue said that you know almost everything, so Lingwu's internal affairs , The army and the surveillance are almost all decided by you alone. Yuxi City can live without me, but Lingwu Territory cannot live without you."
Lord Lingwu replied contemptuously:
"Are you free and easy? I don't think so. To investigate the crystallization in the heart of the giants alone, you must tell me to protect your maid in advance. If you really die here, what will happen to them?"
"You don't need to coerce me, and you are just as reluctant."
After she finished speaking, Lide nodded generously and admitted without concealment:
"Yes. I really don't want to. So I'm still sitting here negotiating with you instead of killing you before you wake up. I want to go back because someone is waiting for me."
Lord Lingwu looked at him, closed his eyes gently after a while, and said intermittently:
"You're always used to giving in when confronting tit for tat... Back then you said you'd give me a horse, but now you openly admit your weakness. Do you think I'll agree to your terms?"
"Impossible. However, I appreciate your openness. So I will take a step back and negotiate with you."
"I can answer other questions that have nothing to do with this secret realm. In addition, I promise to bring you back to the human territory in the future, no matter whether you live or die."
After she finished speaking, she opened her eyes again.
Lied nodded:
"Then let's count it as a cooperation for the time being, although this partnership will be shattered one day. I will help you regulate your meridians, and I will also be responsible for your diet during this time."
Lord Lingwu gave an "um" as his final confirmation.
Neither of them mentioned the rude behavior just now.
They all know very well that the so-called cooperation is just a last resort. Lord Lingwu's reason was that he was inconvenient to move, and Li De's reason was because he didn't know enough about this place. After Lord Lingwu recovers, she will still look for her prey, and Lide, who wants to get out smoothly, will follow her. The two of them are like adventurers fighting side by side. In the early stage, they jointly attacked the extremely difficult dungeon, and then parted ways the moment they saw the treasure.
Lid let out a breath, and lightly picked his fingers, the flame expanded a bit, and it was suspended in the air by itself, like a chandelier.
He looked at Lord Lingwu and said:
"Then, I will ask some questions that have nothing to do with the secret realm, and I hope you can answer them truthfully."
Lord Lingwu simply said:
"I will keep my word, you can ask any questions you want."
Lid thought for a while and asked:
"So first question... your name?"
Lord Lingwu froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect Lide to ask this.
Lid scratched his head and said:
"After all, it's strange to call you Lord Lingwu all the time. This is your identity, not your name. Just like you don't know how to call me Lord of Yuxi City, it's quite annoying to keep calling you by that name. After all, the lord is bigger than the city lord, when I talk to you, I always feel that I am reporting to the female boss."
Another point is that Xiao Hei had told Li De before coming here. He said that Lord Lingwu almost never told others his name, even his childhood playmates. So Lide was actually a little curious about this. He doubted whether the Lord of Lingwu would have a name like Cuihua under his cold appearance.
Lord Lingwu was only a little surprised, and soon returned to normal.
She was silent for a moment, and replied:
"...you can call me Zhao Zhao."
