The Thorn Man was dumbfounded.
what happened?
If Esdeath is a big gray wolf...
In front of Esdeath, Lu Ye was like a little white rabbit.
But what's going on now?
Did the big bad wolf invite the little white rabbit into its home?
There's no need for that. Given Esdeath's status and abilities, even if she killed Lu Ye here, no one would say anything.
Since it wasn't about eating the little white rabbit, then it seems the big bad wolf fell in love with the little white rabbit at first sight?
"What, aren't you going to leave? Do you want to keep another arm?" Esdeath noticed Thorn.
"He also trespassed on your territory, so he should be punished as well!" Thorn couldn't help but exclaim.
“Ah,” Esdeath laughed mockingly, “No need. I don’t dislike people who can fight with an annoying guy like you. Besides… I quite like his face. He’s much more likable than a freak like you.”
"...!?"
Thorn was stunned again, but he quickly recovered.
"General! In fact, that man is also one of us, the Four Demon Rakshasa!"
"Tsk, don't you understand? Next time you want to come to my place without saying hello, you should at least be that girl named Horse Head. Maybe if I take a liking to her, I'll just let her go," Esdeath teased.
Ji understood.
Thorn was devastated.
Destroy this damn, appearance-obsessed world!
In fact, it has nothing to do with looks.
Esdeath simply disliked the executioner in front of her.
The fact that Ji Na didn't admit his mistake and instead questioned her about why she came back so early already made her very angry.
If it weren't for the fact that this guy was a close confidant of the minister, she would have killed him long ago.
As for why she asked Lu Ye, it was simply because she felt that what Ji said was unreliable.
But that doesn’t mean she trusts Lu Ye.
It's just that Lu Ye is a little more credible than Ji, and looks a little more pleasing to the eye.
That's it.
Chapter 207 The Slow-witted General
Lu Ye was practically dragged into Esdeath's bedroom.
Since she was certain that Esdeath wouldn't harm her, there was no need to resist.
It would be troublesome if we angered this woman.
However, Lu Ye noticed that Esdeath's grip was quite strong.
He felt like a tiger cub being grabbed by the scruff of its neck by its mother, its fate held in the grip of its neck.
The spacious villa was empty, and surprisingly, it was devoid of any expensive decorations.
But everything was very clean, so someone must come to clean regularly.
Esdeath did not torture Lu Ye.
She simply led Lu Ye to the living room, where he leaned against the white and gold-trimmed sofa, and then inquired about the cause and effect of the matter, as well as Lu Ye's identity.
"The newly appointed captain of the Imperial Capital Police Force, is that it?" Esdeath's voice was indifferent. "I see. On the surface, he's the captain of the police force maintaining order, but in private, he acts as the minister's executioner, right?"
"Yes."
Esdeath stared at Lu Ye with great interest, then got up and came to stand in front of him.
“I understand… but do you really not have a Zanka Imperial Arm on you?” Her icy blue eyes stared into Lu Ye’s eyes. “Although the ministers’ executioners are despicable, their abilities are still trustworthy. You wouldn’t be hiding an Imperial Arm, would you? That’s a serious crime in the Empire.”
“I have no reason to hide it,” Lu Ye argued. “I went to the restroom while I was patrolling the streets with my team and accidentally found Zank. So I killed him by sneak attack. Because I am also a Teigu user and my ability is suitable for assassination, I was able to succeed. If it were a head-on confrontation, I might not have been able to kill the one who beheaded Zank.”
After speaking, Lu Ye demonstrated his so-called "Imperial Arms" ability to prove that he did indeed have the ability to assassinate.
"I do not believe."
Contrary to expectations,
Esdeath's cold voice rang out.
Lu Ye thought to herself, "This is troublesome."
As expected, this woman is always causing trouble.
He had originally thought that his words would be enough to appease Esdeath.
But it still won't work?
After all, traces of the battle from a few days ago still remained in the square.
Anyone with a little combat experience could tell that these signs of fighting were unlikely to have been left by a sneak attack.
However, he still said these words because Esdeath had recently returned to the country and did not know much about the affairs of the city.
Although Lu Ye had never met Esdeath in person before, he had learned about her to some extent through other channels.
Esdeath is the ultimate battle maniac.
Aside from enjoying the thrill of battle, she was generally uninterested in other matters.
Even this return to the country seems to be due to the recall by Minister Ernest.
But as things stand, it seems that this woman's ability to become a general was not solely due to her military prowess.
Did she leave spies in the capital while she was on the battlefield to monitor the situation?
"May I ask why the general suspects me?"
Even at this moment, Lu Ye maintained his innocent expression and stared at Esdeath without flinching.
The essence of lying is not about how cleverly the lie is told, but about making it believable even to oneself.
“There’s no reason why. You’re no more trustworthy than that freak Thorn,” Esdeath said softly, changing the subject. “I don’t really feel any rhythm in things like ‘beauty’ or ‘art,’ but I still cultivate a lot of flower seeds in the garden behind this house. Do you know why?”
Lu Ye's expression changed.
His memory wasn't bad, and Esdeath seemed to have said something to Thorn earlier in the front yard...
"Do you remember? There's a flower in my garden called 'Manzisu'. Its sap can make people lose their minds, allowing me to get whatever I want. But it also has a side effect: the brain of anyone who ingests this sap will completely go haywire and die within thirty minutes, turning them into a complete idiot. The sap of Manzisu contains deadly poison."
As Esdeath spoke, she raised her right arm, her beautiful, slender fingers pointing towards the doorway.
To Lu Ye's surprise, a thick block of ice the size of a fist appeared right at the doorway, completely freezing it.
Not only that, the ice began to spread rapidly in the next second, climbing up the doorway and outwards from the house. The ice patterns extended like the veins of a leaf, then turned into ice blocks several tens of centimeters thick.
The ice spread so quickly that the entire room was frozen in just thirty seconds.
The sun was warm outside, but the indoor temperature plummeted to around zero degrees Celsius.
Is this... this is Esdeath's power?
Lu Ye watched as his breath turned white and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
That's terrifying.
These ice blocks looked exceptionally solid, like perpetually moving ice that had been frozen for thousands of years in an extremely cold place.
She has turned this room into a "prison".
Is fighting to the death the only option?
Lu Ye did not back down; instead, his gaze toward Esdeath became even more resolute.
He didn't consider his chances of defeating the person in front of him.
Because it makes no sense.
Since we're already in a dead end, we might as well fight to the death.
If there's still room for maneuver, he naturally won't easily break off relations, like a venomous snake feigning compliance.
But once he has no way out, he might as well tear off the mask and reveal the fangs of a beast.
Just as Lu Ye was calculating the distance between them and figuring out how to strike Esdeath's vitals quickly without being hindered by her ice-making ability, Esdeath suddenly laughed.
Her smile is beautiful, like a frozen river breaking through the ice, with water flowing gently.
Although Lu Ye wasn't aware of it, Esdeath really liked the look in his eyes.
"However, considering that you are a confidant of the minister, if you cooperate with me obediently, you will not have to drink the juice of the perilla."
Seeing that things were taking a turn for the better, Lu Ye quickly asked what it was.
"Take off your clothes," Esdeath said.
"Hmm...hmm?" Lu Ye was a little dumbfounded.
“Didn’t you hear me? Zank’s Teigu is eye-shaped and can be worn anywhere on the body,” Esdeath said. “I’m going to check if you’re hiding any Teigu on you.”
Looking at Esdeath's serious expression, Lu Ye realized that the woman was not joking.
A moment later...
“I didn’t tell you to take your pants off!” Esdeath said coldly.
"Is that so?" Lu Ye shivered a little because of the temperature in the room. "I thought I had to take off all my clothes because you were so serious, General."
Esdeath's gaze swept over Lu Ye's upper body.
With a good frame and well-proportioned muscles, he neither appears weak nor overly muscular.
Even so... her body fat percentage isn't low, which is strange.
Esdeath couldn't help but think this.
However, this kind of body is quite to her liking.
