Dragon Clan: I'm too lazy to talk to you, you're not worthy to listen!

Chapter 39 The Little Devil's True Face

A shattered illusion.

The howling wind and the icy snow.

Ye Jingchen watched as the little devil Lu Mingze transformed from a boy into a short-haired young man. (He looked exactly like Lu Mingfei.)

She looked a bit lonely and melancholy, lacking the composed and elegant feeling she had just displayed.

At first glance, it seems a bit frustrating and disappointing.

He was very thin, even frail, as if he hadn't eaten enough for a long time.

Ye Jingchen rested his chin on one hand. Although the illusion had changed the map environment, the coffee table beside him and the white porcelain cup in his hand were still there.

He spat out a mouthful of tea leaves and looked at the little devil Lu Mingze—no, calling him "Number Zero" now seems more appropriate.

Looking at that haggard face, Ye Jingchen smiled calmly, "Speaking of which, Lu Mingfei, as the physical vessel you chose, should look like you, right?"

To be honest, he's not that handsome, it's quite something that Renata likes him.

hum!

Zero vanished from the spot, instantly appearing in front of Ye Jingchen. He looked down at Ye Jingchen, his tone turning icy: "How much do you know? Who exactly are you?"

Gods cannot have health bars.

All the sacred and the eerie, upon deeper understanding, are not so flashy; the greatest truths are the simplest.

Ye Jingchen's words undoubtedly tore away the many masks that Zero had carefully designed.

If you wear a mask for a long time, it will grow together with your flesh. If you forcibly remove it, you will inevitably tear off some skin and flesh, causing bleeding and pain.

Ye Jingchen stood up. He was taller than Young Zero, but he did not mean to look down on the other party because of his height.

"I'm just a passerby who happened to have seen your script. You should be able to understand this explanation." Ye Jingchen put his hands behind his back and examined Zero's strange mental domain.

Unlike the orderly Nibelungen of other dragon kings, Zero's spiritual world is chaotic.

Zero pondered for a moment, then turned his back to Ye Jingchen and said, "The audience should just be the audience and shouldn't come onto the stage to cause trouble."

Ye Jingchen also turned his back to Zero, "I didn't want to go on stage, but fate has lifted me onto this stage, and I just happen to be dissatisfied with the script's arrangement."

However, compared to me, you, the screenwriter, are now more like an insider, too deeply immersed in the role.

You didn't have to go through all this trouble. Why did you have to do so many pointless obedience tests and tests of human nature?

Zero closed his eyes, his voice trembling with anger, "Can you tell me what you want to do?"

"From what I can see right now, what I'm about to do is acting as a catalyst for your overall plan." Ye Jingchen stroked his chin, thought about the ridiculous task the system had assigned him, and smiled. "You could even say I'm here to help you."

Since I'm here to help you, why don't you give me a few Words of Power too?

It hasn't been easy for me to survive in this world, all to help you.

My newbie clothes are torn to shreds, my newbie weapon is lost and I haven't found it yet, and all the guys around me in the newbie village are big bosses, it's putting me under a lot of pressure.

Zero scoffed, "You know so much, why would you need my help?"

"Don't take it to heart!" Ye Jingchen turned to look at Zero, his eyes filled with a sincerity that was a little insincere. "We can be good friends and business partners, or you can call me brother!"

I can trade my life for your power, how about I exchange it for three-quarters of my life's worth of authority? My life should belong to that kind of high-density spacetime complex, with a very high gold content.

My skills are too weak right now; playing with you guys isn't fun at all.

Who wants you to be my brother? My only brother is Lu Mingfei!

Friends and business partners? Nobody believes you!

A life form with high value? What value does a hybrid with a C-grade bloodline have?

Zero scoffed at Ye Jingchen's attempt to take advantage of him and get something for nothing, saying, "I can't see through you or what's on you. Besides, I can only exchange with Lu Mingfei, as you should know."

Zero had a vague feeling that he would suffer a great loss if he made a deal with Ye Jingchen.

"All I know is that energy is conserved; the cake is all about how the person in charge divides it."

"Haven't you done things that altered the bloodlines of many people? One more or one less won't make a difference," Ye Jingchen blinked.

She smoothed her hair and said, "Besides, I only have this need right now, and maybe I won't have this need for a long time."

Zero turned to meet Ye Jingchen's eyes. He had normal black pupils, not golden ones. "The way you're saying things makes me feel like that bat-dragon at Tokyo Airport has nothing to do with Nidhogg. You're the one who's more like Nidhogg!"

"Your feeling is wrong, I am who I am." Ye Jingchen waved his hand.

He blew on his fingers and said, "Actually, even now, I still think you are the real Nidhogg."

Although you say you most want to kill the eight monarchs and Nidhogg, I always think this is just a smokescreen for your king to call for the king's capture.

After all, in your original script, all the dragon kings who betrayed Nidhogg died.

Lu Mingze shook his head. "In a murky world, being clear-headed is actually a mistake."

"This kind of half-truth, half-lie, riddle-like conversation is really boring," Ye Jingchen said, looking at Zero's face. "But the experience of talking to you is still okay. If I were to chat like this with Odin, he would probably have already ridden his eight-legged pony and stabbed me to death with his spear."

It seems the biting winds of Western Siberia and the piercing Kungunir ice have tempered your character and helped you grow considerably.

Zero felt like his cards were completely exposed at the poker table. Frustrated and gritting his teeth, he said, "Has your mouth always been this foul?"

"No, I'm usually quite pleasant to talk to. I only did this to test your tolerance level by constantly stimulating your senses with your personal experiences and feelings. I don't usually like to use my brain like this, but I'm just too weak right now." Ye Jingchen pursed his lips.

Looking at Zero's indifferent face, he said, "How about we sign a devil's contract? I'll take three-quarters of your life control and play with it."

"What kind of conspiracy is this?" Zero wondered to himself, looking coldly at Ye Jingchen. He always felt that Ye Jingchen was deceiving him for some purpose, which was undoubtedly a dangerous sign.

After all, he hasn't seen through Ye Jingchen yet, and fear often stems from the unknown.

Even someone as powerful as him can feel fear?

Was he really that powerful? If he was, why was he pierced through the heart by Gungnir and nailed to the cross?

The underlying logic of Gungnir, a spear made from a branch of the World Tree, is that "if thrown, it will pierce the opponent's heart."

If someone is truly powerful and possesses absolute strength, they are capable of tearing apart all rules and re-establishing order.

"Still hesitating?"
