The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 575: Conditions
Lilith slowly opened her eyes and she found herself bound in chains. His body felt extremely weak and he also discovered that his spiritual power, anma, and true essence were all sealed. That's when he realized they were defeated.
A flash of fear covered her face when she realized that the cloth and veil covering her face had disappeared. He then recalled the final scene before he lost consciousness.
"H-Hecate defeated..." He said it in a disbelief.
Hecate was an unstoppable general under the Sovereign of Asgard and even he could not defeat the man in a frontal battle. However, such a ferocious warrior actually died and even he was captured by the enemy.
Thinking of this, he scanned his body closely. He then sighed in relief after learning that no one had touched him.
After gathering his common sense, he adjusted his sitting position.
The clang of the chain resounded within the room.
"That man ... was he also in the Boundless God Realm like Master? No ... That shouldn't be possible ..." He muttered in a daze as he recalled the image of the man who had easily caught him. He was not even able to fight back and the man easily defeated him with just a few casual moves. The ease in how he was captured made him question his own strength.
"Women ..." A voice suddenly floated into his ear, making him flinch in shock.
Lilith turned her head to the side and saw the familiar face of the man who had defeated her. He looked stunning with his extremely handsome face and cold expression. His aura was calm and he looked no different from a normal person. However, Lilith increased her vigilance. This guy is dangerous!
"What do you want from me?" He tried to hide his nervousness and he even forced himself to look directly into Jiu Shen's golden eyes, but that beautiful golden ball almost made him enter into a daze.
Jiu Shen grinned coldly in his heart as he looked at Lilith's 'quiet expression. His slightly trembling shoulders and even his hasty heartbeat did not escape his senses. He knew that he was just pretending to be calm.
"Tell me more about the Lord of Asgard. Anything you know about him ..." Jiu Shen glanced at him deeply, closely observing the small changes in his expression and gestures.
Lilith furrowed her brows after hearing his words. His mind moved at the fastest speed, calculating how he could escape his predicament.
The man in front of him was so strong that he did not even have the slightest chance of escaping. The only way out was his compassion, but would this man spare his life?
He doesn't know.
Lilith immediately averted her gaze, not daring to stare at Jiu Shen. He was too calm to make her feel overwhelmed.
'Will he forgive me if I tell him everything I know about God?' He doesn't mind telling me everything he knows. In fact, he was unfaithful to the Ruler of Asgard. He only joined his faction to gain more resources and also to gain access to more spiritual techniques.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his head. He then looked up and stared straight into Jiu Shen's eyes.
The look they meet.
"I can tell you everything I know about Gods, but I want you to forgive my life. In return, I will offer my soul to you and be your slave forever." Her voice was soft and gentle like the spring breeze, her eyelashes fluttering softly.
Jiu Shen was slightly shocked in his heart. Is this woman crazy?
Offering one's soul as a slave was quite common in the cultivation world. However, the slave's soul would be placed entirely in the other party's hands. They could no longer control their freedom and even their thoughts would be passed on to their owners.
This may sound easy, but enslaving someone is actually a complicated process. Both sides must be willing and if either side does not agree, slavery will automatically fail. Failure will also cause a significant amount of damage to both sides.
Jiu Shen leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment. He was uncertain about his chances of winning against the Sovereign of Asgard. The man was one realm stronger than him and he had many artifacts of unequal caliber. Getting help from one more Celestial peak would increase their chances of winning. The only problem is the slavery process. If Lilith did something during the enslavement process, her soul would be injured and she would weaken drastically. However, he was not worried about this. With the Sincere Physique of Gods, any injuries to his soul and body would heal in just a few days.
"You're pretty smart, miss. Alright. If your information satisfies me, then I will accept your condition." Jiu Shen charged at Lilith and the chains that bound her body dragged her closer to Lilith.
Clangs! Clangs!
He was a little surprised when the chains started dragging him, but when he did not feel any evil intentions from Jiu Shen, he calmed his heart.
To be honest, he did not want to be enslaved. However, this was his last choice for his life to be saved.
Jiu Shen did not look like someone who would save his enemy so this was his only option.
Lilith glanced at Jiu Shen's face and sighed in her heart. At least this man did not seem like a beast and he looked like someone who could still be invited to reason. Besides, he was stronger than her. The only thing that was worrying was that this man was probably planning to fight against the Gods.
Thinking of this, he could only submit to fate.
After a moment of hesitation, Lilith told him everything she knew about God, including the smallest details she noticed. He stopped talking after more than twenty minutes.
Jiu Shen pondered his words and muttered. "Let's start the slavery process."
