Chapter 55: All Warfare is Based on Deception

  Nas finally agreed to take me to meet the King of Ghosts, although I think his father should not be a simple role either. However, I really want to complete the second task. So, I must get three tokens, so that I can ask Sae Crown for guidance on how to make cloud clothes.

  He and I were walking on the road, speechless to each other. I thought Nas should say something, but he was unexpectedly silent, or maybe it's because what I said wasn't a liking between men and women, so did he cool down?

  I didn't expect that men are pragmatists, I thought he would at least retain some feelings, but it seems I overestimated his emotional cells. If he really wanted to retain me, I think Nainai wouldn't have fallen into Tarot's arms so easily. Or, apart from Nainai's change of heart, the bigger reason is Nas' lack of retention.

  "If it happens again, would you still want to hold on to her?" The suffocating air around us made me break the silence. Actually, I wanted to console Nas, he's a good person, so of course I hope he can learn to change.

  "Mind your own business." Nass retorted coldly, from his tone I knew he had already given up on himself. However, I think everyone would hope for their own good, so he was willing to take me to see his father king with such a good attitude.

  Under Nas' lead, I finally arrived at the place where the king lived.

  The design of the hall is quite luxurious and magnificent, with long pillars of jasper rising to the sky, crystal chandeliers inlaid with five colors on the ceiling, ancient stories carved on the walls, deep brown stable color plus golden majesty, forming a grand throne. The luxurious and Western-style design makes me feel a visual impact that is full and satisfying.

  Seated on it was a dignified old man with a solemn face, wearing a well-fitted long gown, holding a dragon-headed golden staff in his hand.

  I know this person is none other than Death Angel Ghost King Nikolai.

  "Your Majesty." Nass bowed and I followed suit.

  The courtesy that should be given, I think I should do it myself, otherwise people will say that I am too presumptuous, even though I am now preparing to do something presumptuous.

  "What's this?" Nikolai looked at me and Nas coming together, then asked Nas in confusion, as if I was air, he directly overlooked me.

  I know that Nikolai doesn't like me and Nass together, but even if it were someone of high status, they wouldn't want their children to be with someone of low status either. But why was I so foolish back then? Despite the fact that Zhan Zhonglan had nothing, I still chose to be with him.

  Or maybe I was just someone who thought it wasn't necessary to distinguish between different levels of wealth, even though our family had always been well-off.

  However, I still like independent life, hope to have their own ideals, and strive to achieve it!

  "She said, there's a way to get the method of making cloud clothes." Nas was self-aware and explained the key point with an expression that was neither humble nor arrogant. Even if the other party was his high-and-mighty father, he could still remain so calm.

  Just looking at the conversation between father and son, it's so official. I really feel quite speechless. Is it because of his father's autocracy that they don't even look like a close father-son relationship?

  "She said, and you believed?" King Nicholas looked at me with a dissenting opinion, heavily tapping his golden scepter. His originally calm face suddenly showed anger, and he shouted: "Don't mention that she has the ability to make cloud clothes, if she really had such great abilities, she would have left here long ago, why would she come to rely on you for no reason? She is taking advantage of you, and you are being fooled by her sincerity. You foolish child, how can I put it to you?"

  I didn't expect Nicholas to be so suspicious, thinking I was just using Nass.

  "You haven't tried, how do you know I can't?" I blinked and said casually. Actually, Nikolai getting angry was already expected, so I didn't bother to dwell on this matter either.

  "Someone, take her away and talk later." Nikolai was too lazy to waste words with me, directly giving the order.

  Looking at those pet ghosts that suddenly appeared, I knew that my provocative method had failed. But even so, what's the big deal?

  "This is the hospitality of the Death Angel Ghosts?!" I sneered, lightly moving my sleeve to reveal an X-shaped flying dart. It seems that we can't escape without a fierce battle, so I'll have to go all out as well.

  "Your Majesty, give us one chance!" Nass saw that I was about to take action and his eyes deepened as he hastily pleaded with King Nicholas.

  I didn't expect that Nas would plead with me, this is really beyond my expectation. I feel a warm current surging from my heart, it's so touching, it's so moving!

  I knew that Nas, this handsome guy, had already made up his mind. Suddenly, I had an idea in my heart. I took a light step forward and walked into Nas, calling out softly to him.

  White light flashed, and Nas was subdued smoothly. The smile on my face bloomed even more radiantly, just as I had expected.

  "What is this...?" The king asked me with a terrified face, his complexion instantly turning much paler.

  A big living person was taken away, even Nikolai looked scared. I stared into Nikolai's eyes and said word by word: "My skills, you should have seen them, it's not that I don't want to leave, but I'm sincere in doing good things for you, if you don't agree, let alone taking Prince Nase, even the king of ghosts, I can take him!"

  "King Nicholas looked at me and then said to those pampered little demons: 'You may withdraw!'"

  "Yes!" The pet ghost replied, and then blinked out of sight completely.

  "What is it that you want?" King Nicholas asked me hastily, his mind bent on saving his son.

  "I have three requests. First, you hand over the three tokens of faith, and I will naturally make cloud garments for you to cure their illnesses. Second, I want to see the first brave warrior Bai Mo. Third, after the matter is settled, I will return the tokens of faith to you, and then you must also return my freedom!" I didn't have any intention of deceiving them either, as long as the task was completed, I could leave this place with a clear conscience!

  "Is that all?" King Nicholas found it a bit hard to believe.

  "Yes." I replied curtly, looking at King Nicholas's worried expression, and I added weight to my tone: "You'd better agree now, otherwise, I wouldn't mind putting you in a hollow place without sunlight, full of endless darkness, then..."

  The king Nicholas discovered the gravity of the situation and interrupted me, immediately promising: "Good good good, do it according to your meaning, this will do?"

  It turns out that this handsome man's ring has such a strong compelling effect, it feels so cool!
