Skadi, returning to infinity

When Zhenlong heard her say that, he shook his head.

"Such a deep sense of defensiveness?"

"Fine."

"Tell me what you want."

Zhenlong didn't continue speaking; he just wanted to know what she wanted.

"Can we put it down now?"

"I'll ask for it later when I think of something."

I definitely want it, but not at this time.

Because at this point in time, she can't get what she wants.

"Oh? So, that means I can buy on credit?"

“Interesting, Doctor, you are the first person to dare to let me buy on credit.”

"To put it bluntly, it means looking down on me and despising the Great Yan, which is a capital offense."

"To put it mildly, it's a lack of respect for elders and an inability to understand one's place."

"What are your thoughts, Doctor?"

The dragon's words made Skadi secretly smile: "So, Your Majesty wants my head?"

"That's not necessary."

This is not something to be said lightly, so Zhenlong avoided the topic.

"So, Your Majesty?"

Should we proceed with this transaction?

Skadi steered the conversation back to the real dragon.

"can."

"But this period is only three years."

"If you can't make your request within three years, then we'll just have to do whatever we can, how about that?"

The true dragon is the ruler of a country. Even if it's for his own selfish reasons, he could grant Skadi's request and even give her a hundred years.

As a ruler, a true dragon cannot do this.

Even if they were the closest allies to Skadi, as long as she wasn't one of their own, the true dragon wouldn't easily agree to her request to keep her around.

"Three years is too short, let's do four years."

Skadi thought for a moment and asked for an extra year.

"Oh? It seems the Doctor has some foresight about what will happen four years from now."

"Then it seems I've lost out in this deal."

Although he said he had lost out, Zhenlong's tone was tinged with amusement.

Skadi's words clearly revealed to the true dragon that something big would happen in four years.

This information is enough for the true dragon to begin preparations.

"It seems I've inadvertently fallen into His Majesty's trap and said some things that shouldn't be said now."

"But it's nothing."

"If Your Majesty is truly curious about what will happen four years from now, then you shall wait and see."

"As for other matters, I cannot say for the time being."

Upon hearing her say this, Zhenlong asked, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed?"

"Yes, revealing heavenly secrets will be punished."

This answer made Zhenlong understand, and he nodded without asking any further questions.

"But there is something I must tell you."

But then, the dragon said something that left Skadi somewhat bewildered.

The incorrect chapter has been corrected~

I'll upload it after I finish writing it.

Then I started making changes.

The revisions increased the word count from dozens to over a hundred.

After making the changes, I copied it over and overwrote the previous chapters before publishing it.

Previously, I had time to revise and send it, or I revised it several times.

I didn't have time this time, so I'll post the unedited version first and the corrected version later.

Then I just overwrote the revised chapter 13 onto the revised chapter 12.

There must have been a mistake during the copying process.

Because I modified Chapter 13 first, and then failed to copy the modified Chapter 12, the copy was overwritten.

Thankfully there was a reminder, otherwise I probably wouldn't have noticed it until I checked again in the afternoon.

Oh, nothing much has been happening lately. Although I've been busy writing about Pixiv and my new book, I'll still maintain a daily update schedule of two to three chapters for this book.

I sincerely apologize for my mistake and will update more today.

I heard that you have to show your breasts when apologizing, but I don't think it would pass censorship, so I'm posting a picture of Titi instead.jpg

Chapter Fourteen: This deal is in His Majesty's favor.

Perhaps the conversation had made the dragon awake. Sitting on his bed, looking at Skadi outside the curtain, he suddenly asked, "Bo..."

"Sir, are you really not considering joining the Great Yan?"

"With your abilities, you are wasting your talents on Rhodes Island."

The dragon had vaguely warned him about this matter several times before.

But Skadi pretended not to hear or simply brushed it off.

But now that the dragon has asked directly, she has no way to avoid it.

"No."

Since that's the case, Skadi directly accepted the dragon's invitation.

"I'm very happy on Rhodes Island, and I have no reason to leave."

"Without official rank, I can enjoy peace and quiet."

"Furthermore, even if I join the Great Yan, Your Majesty, think about it yourself: if I were by your side, what would my status be?"

Zhenlong answered without hesitation: "Prime Minister, or even higher."

Skadi smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Higher? Is it the Duke of Protectorate, or the Empress?"

The dragon did not answer, but its attitude clearly indicated that it had tacitly agreed that what Skadi said was true.

"Right?"

"His Majesty can't just bestow upon me the title of Prince and give me a territory to develop on my own, can he?"

"If that's the case, then there are many things I can't do."

"Because as long as I become a subject of the Great Yan, even if I have many conveniences, numerous benefits, and His Majesty's support, I will always be burdened with..."

Ultimately, all of them bear the traces of the Great Yan Dynasty.

"In other words, regardless of my original intention, as long as I do something, I am representing the Great Yan."

“In that case, there are a lot of things I won’t be able to do.”

"You could say that you don't need to give me an identity, but you will give me all the support I need, as long as I belong to the Great Yan."

"What if I do something that will anger the rest of the Great Yan, something that only Your Majesty can understand?"

"At that time, if someone presses His Majesty to decide whether to punish me, the one who has tarnished the reputation of the Great Yan, or if they choose to oppose His Majesty..."

Later they started causing me trouble...

"What will His Majesty do then?"

"Fully support me? In some people's eyes, Your Majesty is probably no different from a tyrant."

"If Your Majesty doesn't support me, what's the point of having me do these things?"

"Your Majesty, please answer me."

Skadi asked the dragon slowly and deliberately, knowing the answer perfectly well, as did the dragon.

"But seeing a talent like the Doctor... no, a genius of unparalleled talent, wandering outside, if I had no thoughts about it, then I would not be worthy of being the Emperor."

He is now the ruler of a country.

"Unfortunately, just as you said, Doctor, no matter what I choose, it is not a good decision."

"Only by making the Doctor independent, as the leader of a neutral force, can the Doctor's abilities be brought into play."

"I understand."

The dragon sighed. The treasure was right in front of him, yet he couldn't get it. It was truly a pity.

"His Majesty wants me to join the Great Yan, simply because he needs to use my abilities."

"In that case, as long as we cooperate on this basis, there will be no problem."

"Your Majesty, just tell me clearly what kind of cooperation you want, and what kind of exchange you desire."

Skadi rested her chin on her hand; she understood perfectly what the true dragon meant.

"really?"
