"Claw!"
Valentin quickly pushed away the humanoid autonomous hormone that was sticking to him, and at the same time sent his sincere blessings to the other party.
The fragrance and warmth disappeared, leaving only fear and trembling. After thousands of years of living in the Asian continent, this was the first time that Valentine fell so easily. If the other party hadn't left him with a trace of reason, he might have turned into a mindless walking zombie.
"What are you afraid of?"
Jiao Zhengyu moved to the other side of the sofa and crossed his legs, looking at Valentine and narrowing his eyes.
"The transaction between us has always been voluntary, and I will not force the sale if you don't agree."
The corners of her eyes curved into crescents, a faint purple light emitted from her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were raised high.
"Such a big reaction makes me seem like a villain."
She looks very much like the female devil who often appears in comics from a certain country.
"You are indeed a villain."
Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Valentine took a deep breath and met Jiao Zhengyu's gaze.
"Coming from an unknown civilization, looking for someone to ask him to save the world, and at the same time sell various abilities..."
"As long as there is enough money, we can come up with something to destroy the entire planet."
"In literary works, you are definitely the final boss."
He pointed at himself.
"I am your wage earner."
Put aside the appearance and look at the essence, Valentin is indeed Jiao Zhengyu's wage earner, the kind who signed a contract of prostitution.
"But I have always been very kind to the wage earners and will not exploit them."
Jiao Zhengyu raised his eyelids and spread his hands.
"The salary I pay is enough for you to work for me properly and to your heart's content."
"...That's right."
Valentin could not deny this statement because she was telling the truth.
Live another life, source stone skills, and girl friends...
These were all given by Jiao Zhengyu.
"So don't overthink it."
The Sakaz girl shook her head slightly, and the aura of the female devil dissipated from her body.
The lightbulb that had been stuck in her horn a while ago reappeared, still glowing.
"Sometimes I still miss the old you."
A photo suddenly appeared, suspended above the coffee table.
Valentin looked over and saw that it was him from two years ago. Next to him stood a strange man made entirely of green data streams.
At that time, Jiao Zhengyu didn't have a name or a body, he just had such a strange appearance.
"What a simple child, he doesn't think so much about doing things."
Jiao Zhengyu clicked his tongue twice, but Valentine stopped talking.
He always felt that this guy was harming himself.
"……I want to go back."
Calculating the time, Valentine's body should have been lying in the Rhode Island inpatient unit for more than ten hours now.
It was just afternoon outside, so I should be able to lie down one more night if I went back.
Valentine had no intention of continuing the conversation. Not seeing Jiao Zhengyu's smiling face would make him feel more at ease.
"Wait a moment."
As a result, the Sakaz girl grabbed his wrist and forcibly broke the link.
"What else?"
Valentine tilted his head but did not break away.
Little Dragon Girl and Weapon Angel did not appear, and they should still be immersed in the dress-up play.
Jiao Zhengyu probably stopped him not to say goodbye, but because he had something else to say.
"Jingzhe, do you still remember this operator?"
The display screen suspended on the coffee table disappeared, and then appeared in front of Valentine. His photo was replaced with Jingzhe’s employment application. In addition to the photo, his height, age, place of origin and other information were all visible.
"Remember."
Valentine nodded.
He always keeps in mind the two-dimensional beautiful girls who match his XP and never forgets them.
There is also a blond Qilin in the harem of the wise king of the Asian continent. There is no need to say who the prototype is.
"I'll give you a suggestion, don't let her come into contact with Xing Yihuang."
"It's okay to pass by each other occasionally, but never to work together or become friends."
Jiao Zhengyu has a serious expression and speaks sincerely.
"Why?"
Valentine frowned.
Jingzhe and Xing Yihuang were both from the Yan Kingdom, and he had once thought about creating an opportunity for them to meet. Maybe Jingzhe, as an official, wouldn't be very enthusiastic about Xing Yihuang, but at least there is a chance, and he might even be able to find her family directly through that relationship.
As a result, Jiao Zhengyu directly rejected his idea.
"Xing Yihuang's dragon scales are black, proving that she is a black dragon, which is extremely rare in the Yan Kingdom."
"If you are familiar with the history of the Yan Kingdom, you will understand what the Black Dragon means to this country."
"Ordinary black dragons don't matter. The dilution of their bloodline over the years has made them no longer what they used to be."
"but……"
The Sakaz girl leaned forward and leaned against Valentine again.
"Do you still remember her from the Battle of Qicheng?"
"Summoned the spirit behind, a majestic Eastern dragon."
"The result disappeared not long after it appeared and returned to her body."
"...What do you want to say?"
The corners of Valentine's mouth trembled slightly, and he leaned back on the sofa with his upper body.
It's too close...
"The previous royal family has gone through thousands of years to reappear as a person with pure blood. Will Yan Guild let her go now?"
"Think about it."
clatter.
Jiao Zhengyu flicked Valentine's forehead, sending him back to reality.
--------the other side--------
"Well……"
The darkness dissipated and white light came in, layer upon layer intertwining into a tunnel, swirling and twisting.
Valentine felt as if he had jumped into a time and space tunnel, feeling nothing except a severe dizziness.
It took a long time for his body to react. The haziness in the field of vision gradually became clearer, and what came into view was a round white-haired dumpling with triangular ears.
"Good morning, Xiaole."
"Aww."
The little fox stuck out his tongue and licked Valentine's cheek, making him wake up a little and his senses gradually returned to normal.
With the white ceiling and the beeping sound of instruments in my ears, it was obvious that this was a ward.
However, Valentin had some PTSD from this environment, as if he had returned to the time when he first came to Terra, and he suddenly sobered up a lot.
He quickly sat up and looked around, but was shocked by the environment in the ward.
Animals, there are many animals.
Lion, tiger, antelope, sika deer, wolf, lynx...
Basically, all the beasts that are well-known to people appeared in the ward, but there was no fight and they stayed quietly beside Valentine.
It was then that he discovered that this was a multi-person ward, but he was the only patient.
Because the other hospital beds were occupied by wild animals.
"Lie..."
The good qualities developed over thousands of years allowed Valentine to suppress that 'grass'. His eyes widened and he stared at the hospital bed on his right, his mouth twitching.
There were giant lizards and pythons lying on it, as well as a bunch of birds and small animals that he couldn't name, and they got along very well with each other.
But this is also very reasonable. The electric current that flashes across the animals from time to time is the best explanation.
Even Valentin himself could faintly feel the Source Stone skills flowing out from his body.
just like……
Like when the Balrog was out of control, Ifrit couldn't control the large balloon monster at all.
Now he can't control Longlong either.
It's just that the dragon can only heal, and the only way to cause trouble seems to be to build a zoo in the real world...
Valentine understood everything instantly.
After all, Jiao Zhengyu is still a good artificial intelligence.
He supported the little fox lying on his head, moved his somewhat stiff legs, and was about to get out of bed to move around, but he felt someone tugging on his wrist.
Only then did Valentin find someone sitting next to the hospital bed.
Razer fell asleep lying on the bed like a student, with his left arm resting on his forehead and his right hand holding the boy's wrist tightly, as if he was afraid of losing him.
Her petite frame was so inconspicuous among the animals that Valentin didn't even see him at first.
Recalling the conversation in the mental space not long ago, Valentine laughed silently and gently stroked Razer's hair.
"Sister."
