Chapter 720 - Angered
Chapter 720 - Angered
Teacher Fairy's original demeanor was almost gotten out if not for her last string of patience holding on. She kept on saying to be merciful and throw her old ways.
Jin Rou laughed upon seeing this. Naturally, her wouldn't mind the other party showing her true colors. After all, he had seen through this ever since they met, "If you want to wreak havoc just like in the past, sure go on. I won't stop you. Just don't think you can intimidate me by doing so."
Teacher Fairy's experession revealed a stumped one. She looked like she had seen a ghost that had haunted her for so many years. Eventually, she managed to ask feigning ignorance, "What do you mean? I don't understand what you're talking about."
It took a large amount of courage of the fairy to act like she didn't know what Jin Rou was talking about. But of course, how could Jin Rou be deceived by such acting?
"You can try for an acting award in the capital. You have a good chance of getting it." Jin Rou praised the fairy's acting, "However, you cannot deceive me. Not even your Oceanice Ancestor can, so how can you?"
Hearing that name, Teacher Fairy's eyes shook and became serious. She was glaring daggers at Jin Rou when she said, "Who are you?"
It was natural that the fairy would raise her guard to the maximum extent since Jin Rou revealed something that no one should ever know!
Oceanice Ancestor, she was a powerful monarch that swept the Nine Heavens alone! Defeating geniuses one after another to seek for the throne, she finally became victorious of the war and won the Nine Heavens Will. The monarch's origin was unknown and until now, no one knew about it.
After becoming a Dao Monarch, Oceanice created the Ice Palace located in the far south of the world where extreme snow and coldness could be felt and seen. After that, the ancestor never left the palace and years went by, there was no news regarding her and had been forgotten by many through the passage of time.
But, of course there were still curious ones who tried to dig into this pit but it was to no avail. As a matter of fact, even the Ice Palace located in the south disappeared as if it wasn't there to begin with.
Only Han Li knew what really happened there and how things happened there. After all, he was friends with Oceanice Ancestor herself or so to say, they had a fateful tie together.
Teacher Fairy was the sole disciple of Oceanice Ancestor and nurtured her to become a powerful existence she was now. All of the ancestor's arts were passed down to Teacher Fairy without reservation. The ancestor truly went all out to develop Teacher Fairy into a capable being.
"Truth cannot escape my eyes." Jin Rou shook his head and spoke, "Just that pattern in your bloodflow inside your body is enough for me to connect the dots between you and Oceanice. Do you really think that you can hide it from me?"
Teacher Fairy was speechless. If this person was telling the truth then they must be acquaintances or even friends. Also, there's a possibility that her ancestor and this person were enemies. However, the fairy immediately crossed this out. Her master never told her about any enemy she had. She had lived peacefully inside the palace thus she didn't make any more enemies.
"You know my master?" It was useless to act ignorance thus she dropped it.
"Hmm, let's see." Jin Rou rubbed his chin as he pondered, "I guess you can say that we're decent friends."
"Decent friends?" The fairy was puzzled. What was that supposed to mean? Friends at the normal level?
"Just think about it that we have a friendship of give and take." Jin Rou sighed. He didn't know how to explain their friendship too so he just left it as that.
"So you aren't an enemy of my master?" The fairy was still in doubt. It was understandable though.
"If I am, do you really think you will be talking in front of me right now?" Jin Rou smiled, "I am not a good person to just see my enemies roam around freely, you know."
Jin Rou paused for a moment and said, "And lower your guard. It won't do you any good if I am serious in injuring you."
Teacher Fairy had a grave expression. She was a powerful existence herself but in front of Jin Rou's aura, she felt so small like an ant looking at a big dragon. Nevertheless, she remained standing and didn't budge. She was known to be hard headed and couldn't be easily intimidated. Not to mention, this person dared to make her his maid!
"You really want to push it?" Jin Rou smirked as he walked towards the fairy. Every step felt like a heavy thunder about to descend from the sky.
Teacher Fairy couldn't help but took a few steps backward. She was just acting tough and now she was being tested. How could she maintain her usual image when a dangerous threat like Jin Rou was approaching her vicinity?
After several steps, Jin Rou was finally a meter away from the fairy. He was still looking at her with a smirk in his face as he said, "Try and attack me. If you can scratch me a bit, it's your win. However, if you cannot, you'll be my maid until I leave the academy. How is it?"
Teacher Fairy was surprised to hear the terms. It looked like Jin Rou was giving her a chance to get away. However, she immediately became angered as she heard the next words.
"After all, you're useless by my side. I don't think I need a maid who will be deadweight during my game." Jin Rou shrugged his shoulder as if he was truly helpless of the matter.
"You..." Teacher Fairy almost puked blood from being angered. If provocation was a talent, perhaps Jin Rou had the best of it in this generation.
Little did she know, arrogance had been deeply engraved to Han Li's body since time immemorial.
