It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

But before she could be happy, she noticed that there was something new on the desk in front of her.

It was a small black collar that contrasted sharply with the white dress she was wearing.

"I want you to be my slave. This is my third condition."

Xu Shi snapped his fingers lightly, and finally showed his fangs at this moment.

"……impossible!"

Other conditions are easy to negotiate, but how could Dongfang Xiao agree to such conditions?

This is a hundred times worse than marrying you, okay? What kind of person is this? What kind of nasty things are in his mind?

To be honest, at this moment, the little queen felt that Xu Shi’s ambition was too big. In comparison, what was the point of confronting the Holy See?

Moreover.

"If that's the case, what's the difference between you and Cheng Gujian?"

She clenched her teeth, frowned, and stared at Xu Shi as she questioned.

"The difference is huge."

Xu Shi shook his finger, "I can do what Cheng Gujian can't do, and I can give you what Cheng Gujian can't give you."

"And this relationship only exists between us. I am a foreigner and have no interest in the internal affairs of your Hualan Empire. In the eyes of the world, you are still the high and mighty empress. You still have the final say on what happens here."

"Don't be ridiculous! Why should I believe you?"

Such words obviously failed to convince Dongfang Xiao, and she still looked at the other party with a wary attitude.

"So this is a big gamble, and the choice is still yours."

Xu Shi no longer gave her a substantive answer, but just whispered like a devil.

"If you agree, you will be my slave only. If you don't agree, you will be the slave of everyone in the world forever."

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Dongfang Xiao felt as if something had touched his heart.

Because even though it sounds harsh, it is still the truth.

Isn’t the canary, admired by everyone, a slave to everyone in the world?

What's more, all the benefits had already been laid out in front of her, and she had no doubt that if she refused this request, the negotiation would be completely in vain.

His so-called giving and empathy seemed to be just a prelude to this last condition.

She could even imagine what would happen next. The other party might turn around and go find Cheng Gujian - the fact was that Cheng Gujian might agree to his previous conditions, and once these two people joined forces, her situation would probably become even more dangerous.

Even if Xu Shi gave up and went back home, where would his next chance be?

Will the next Xu Shi appear? This is something that cannot be confirmed. Even if there is, how long will she have to wait? How can she guarantee that the next Xu Shi will not be as bad as the one in front of her? Will the next Xu Shi have the ability of the one in front of her?

She couldn't explain these, but what Xu Shi could give her and what the consequences of agreeing to him would be were all clearly laid out in front of her.

At this moment, Dongfang Xiao finally realized that Xu Shi was not "like a devil", this person himself was a devil, covered with treasures, tempting but dangerous.

And this deal with the devil did not just happen. It had already begun when she chose to sit on the other side of the river and watch the fire, seeking this fleeting opportunity like Mars.

Now, it seems that all that is missing is a nod from her.

The little queen sat on the throne with a dull look in her eyes, lost in deep thought.

Xu Shi was not in a hurry and admired her struggling expression with interest.

As he said, he has always admired the little queen.

silence.

There was a long silence.

"You...can't regret what you said."

Dongfang Xiao seemed to have made up his mind. He raised his eyes again, looked at Xu Shi, and spoke hesitantly.

"of course."

Xu Shi still had a smile on his face. "Please rest assured, Miss Dongfang. I am a person who keeps my promises."

Of course he knew what the other party was referring to. This was an unspoken fact between the two of them and was also the final bottom line of the negotiation.

These words seemed to give Dongfang Xiao a lot of encouragement, prompting her to reach out for the collar.

After a moment's hesitation, she pursed her lips sharply and grabbed it with force.

It's like grabbing the future.

Chapter 260 Look, she made me thank you

2023-09-10

It became.

Seeing Dongfang Xiao’s choice, Xu Shi smiled with satisfaction.

Of course, if you really want to talk about the sense of accomplishment, it's probably not much - this is not the first time he has done this kind of thing, and it's no exaggeration to say that he is very good at it.

Even if he does not have the serious mind-reading ability like his silly apprentice, he is very good at observing and judging people, and can easily find the biggest pain point in the little queen's heart.

It is an extreme, even twisted and crazy desire to break free from the shackles.

To put it in a small way, it is Cheng Gujian in front of him; to put it in a big way, it is the Holy See that has always been in opposition to the royal family.

No matter which one they are, they are the existence she wants to overthrow, the only difference is the distance.

What she wants to do is to be the unique king of the Hualan Empire, whose words are law and whose power should not be taken away by others.

But if it was just her, how easy would it be to realize this wish? Xu Shi didn't believe that the other party hadn't prepared something in private over the years, but the final result would be to watch Cheng Gujian's influence grow, while she herself would be in danger...

Under such circumstances, he was very confident that he could destroy Dongfang Xiao's psychological defenses by just focusing on this one point. The so-called empathy was naturally one of the steps - of course, he had indeed experienced similar things at that time, but even if he hadn't, this bad man would probably make one up on the spot.

Anyway, Dongfang Xiao didn't know his past, so why not let him do it?

And he did so, and the result was as smooth as he expected... In comparison, the other conditions seemed like icing on the cake, including the one that Dongfang Xiao himself was most concerned about, which was "Will you interfere with me like Cheng Gujian?"

In this situation, even a vague promise would be enough to tip the balance in her heart.

So she made her choice.

But this is not enough.

"It seems you have made up your mind."

Xu Shi smiled and said, "In that case, let me see some sincerity first... Release your holy light protection and let me leave some marks on you."

That’s right, how could the impact of the previous “increase in evil entropy” be enough?

Even if Dongfang Xiao really made up his mind and accepted his fate as his own slave, the seed had to be planted.

Anyway, as for her words, Xu Shi would not completely let down his guard just because of an empty promise. Such a guarantee is a must. Otherwise, with her personality, who knows if she will bite back in the future?

The best way to solve a problem is always to nip it in the bud before it occurs.

"..."

The little queen's hands were shaking slightly, and it was obvious that she was not as determined as she had just shown.

She also knew that the so-called "alliance" proposed by Xu Shi would never be so easily finalized, and this man must have a backup plan to control her.

If she still had some hope just now, it was now gone - if she agreed to his condition, there would be no turning back.

But... should I give up?

The answer is obviously no.

So, after a moment of struggle, she closed her eyes helplessly and lowered her arms, "You... come on."

Xu Shi was not polite either. He moved closer and lifted her chin.

He is indeed a devil, even his methods are like this... Dongfang Xiao felt mixed emotions. No matter what, she was still very pure in this aspect, and Xu Shi was the first man to do such an overstepping act towards her.

Of course she was resisting, or maybe she was not mentally prepared at all. Was she going to lose her first kiss?

But when the little queen thought that this was also due to her own choice, she had nothing to say.

Just...think of it as being bitten by a dog...

But Xu Shi didn't really kiss her. In the end, he just pinched her face mischievously and said, "Okay, that's enough."

"Is this the end?"

The expected scene did not happen, and Dongfang Xiao was a little surprised.

It was said to be some kind of mark, but she didn't see where it was, and she didn't even feel anything unusual.

"What else? What else do you want?"

Xu Shi joked, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Now, the contract between you and me is officially concluded."

This is an interesting matter. He had actually curiously asked Xia Wuyou once before whether he had any feelings when he implanted his seed in him for the first time.

As a result, Xia Xiaomao pondered for a long time and the answer he gave was just that there seemed to be an abnormal fluctuation in his heart for a moment. He then asked Jiang Chengcheng, Gu Yi and others, and the results he got were not much different.

From this we can see that the process of planting seeds is actually very gentle, and you can't experience it at all if you don't feel it carefully... Not to mention that this usually happens when the girls' mentality is extremely unstable, so they won't really notice anything weird.

Even the process of seeds taking root and sprouting is the same... Only at the moment when the closed loop is completed can the person who is infected feel the complete change in mentality and thinking.

But I realized it at that time, but it was too late, the matter was done.

Dongfang Xiao didn't feel anything anyway, and even felt a little relieved - slavery still existed in the Hualan Empire. She had thought before that Xu Shi's so-called "planting a mark" was really the same as the common practice of the imperial people, using a branding iron to iron a special badge or something like that...

Fortunately, it’s not, huh.

"Since the contract has been established, then put it on yourself. What are you waiting for?"

However, Xu Shi poured a bucket of cold water on her head after she was happy for less than half a second. "By the way, it's time to change the name of Miss Dongfang. Why don't you call her Master first?"

"you……"

The little queen's heart, which had just relaxed, was tightened again. After uttering one word, she couldn't say anything else. Looking at the small collar in front of her, she was reluctant to reach out her hand.

Rather than the so-called planting of a mark, this was what she resisted the most. As soon as the word "slave" came out, she could tell with her toes that this scene would happen.
