"Who I am? Never mind that. You just need to know one thing: the person protecting you is gone now. You know very well who you are, and you don't want me to expose your identity, do you? What will happen to you once your identity is exposed?"
Upon hearing this, Hiyori Kozuki trembled as she thought of the person who had always protected her being knocked away and whose fate was unknown.
"It seems you understand. You are truly alone and helpless now. You should know that to survive in a place like this, without any backing, you will become a true courtesan. You've probably seen plenty of those scenes of living a life worse than death, haven't you?"
Lin Qi continued to whisper in her ear, each word sounding like a devil's whisper, making her body tremble even more.
Hiyori Kozuki could fully imagine that in this situation, she would rather die, since death would end everything, while the things she would have to suffer if she didn't die would be far more terrifying than death itself. However, she still had responsibilities on her shoulders and could not die.
So at this moment, I am experiencing a brief internal struggle, and then I make some important decision.
Chapter 507 Are you worth this price?
Guangyue Rihe and her uncle had just been giving her a pep talk, then she bit her lip and looked like she had made up her mind. To be honest, sometimes 07 wanted to give her a thumbs up for this kind of self-imagination, after all, it took a lot of mental effort.
To be honest, I really don't need the other person to go through so much of a mental process, since they didn't have a choice at all, okay? They just had to add their own drama, really.
"My lord, I am willing to serve you. May I ask for one thing?"
Lin Qi knew what the other person wanted to say after hearing this, but unfortunately, he shouldn't even think about it. He could give it, but he couldn't accept the request the other person made.
"I know what you want to say, but I can only say I'll think about it. After all, it depends on whether you're worth the price."
At this point, Lin Qi decisively started fishing.
"The bounties on these guys add up to over 10 billion. Not to mention, their actual strength could easily bring them to over 10 billion, and they probably have over 100 billion in the money they've made."
"And what about you? What use are you? If you want me to help with this kind of thing, you at least need to demonstrate your value. So what value do you have?" 987
Lin Qi then launched into a probing question, since this young Liu seemed quite trustworthy, readily offering to come. What was he thinking? It was fine to come, to demonstrate his value; his value would be revealed. What could Lin Qi do? He was in a difficult position himself.
Upon hearing this, Hiyori bit her lip, looking unwilling. Of course, she was genuinely unwilling, as this was a golden opportunity for revenge, but because she felt worthless, nothing could proceed. How could this be? So she kept thinking about how to make her value work.
Unfortunately, she had no other resources to offer besides herself.
"I.."
"Come on, tell me, what makes you think you can offer me conditions now? Do you think I'm an idiot? Make me comfortable first, then we'll talk. What you need to do now is figure out how to survive, how to survive without anyone protecting you?"
"I believe you're not out of your mind and you understand exactly what I mean."
Hiyori understood what he meant. Indeed, her current situation didn't allow her to think too much. After all, the person who could protect her was gone, and if she really needed someone to rely on, the best choice was this person in front of her. She had originally thought she could manipulate this person as easily as she usually manipulated other men, but now it seemed impossible.
At this moment, Hiyori could only look at Lin Qi with that pitiful look she had learned in this wretched place.
"I hope Your Excellency will have mercy on me."
Lin Qi understood perfectly what the other person meant. Honestly, wouldn't it have been better to just say he was willing to lie down? Why all the fuss? If his literary skills weren't so good, he might not have understood, which would have been awkward. Fortunately, he could understand, so without further ado, he led the person directly to their private room.
When Hiyori Kozuki returned to her familiar room, she didn't feel comfortable at all. Instead, she was filled with tension. After all, it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous about what was about to happen.
At this moment, Lin Qi looked at the other person's lips, which were covered in rouge, and pressed them down to see what it felt like.
Hiyori Kozuki didn't stop the other party's actions. Instead, she looked extremely shy. After all, she wasn't one of those real veterans, and she was also shy, but there was nothing she could do about it now.
Lin Qi had to admit that it was indeed soft.
After they parted, he licked his lips and then sighed.
"Tsk tsk tsk, not bad, not bad, quite soft."
At this moment, Hiyori Kozuki was panting heavily because she had only seen too much of it but had never actually tried it herself. She had no time or mind to listen to Lin Qi.
After she recovered, her face was flushed, and she looked at Lin Qi as if she were very delicate. However, the next moment she found that he completely ignored her delicate appearance without any emotion.
"what."
Hiyori Kozuki discovered that what she had painstakingly cultivated had already been snatched away by someone else.
"Oh ho, what a surprise! Looks like you're quite good at growing fruit. I didn't expect that while others like to show off their cultivated fruit and say how well they've grown it, you've learned to keep it hidden."
"grown ups.."
Hiyori Kozuki's face was genuinely red this time, without the slightest pretense, as she truly couldn't handle the situation.
"Come, let me have a taste. After all, I don't think anyone has ever tasted the fruits of your cultivation."
Hiyori Kozuki gritted her teeth, forced to watch helplessly as this bully stole her cultivation results.
Most importantly, this thief went too far; he not only stole the fruit, but also took away the entire fruit tree.
She could only watch helplessly as she was forced to give away the fruit trees.
. . .
Lin Qi glanced at the sky outside; those guys should be awake by now.
After all, he had control over the strength of the opponent, and everything was in accordance with the plan. He could control what the opponent could do, unlike those who couldn't be controlled. It's just that the stronger the opponent, the faster they would wake up.
At this moment, Lin Qi couldn't help but wonder what to do next, whether to beat the person up or something else.
While I was thinking, the person next to me woke up.
Lin Qi calculated the time and had to admit that this girl was too weak, or rather, her physical condition was simply too poor. If he hadn't held back, she would probably have been unconscious for a long time. It had been at least a day since she passed out, which was outrageous.
Lin Qi forgot one thing: he thought it didn't matter if this type of person died from exhaustion, at most they would just be left behind later. However, this resulted in the other party suffering much more harm than the ordinary girls around him.
So there was no way to wake him up directly at this point? It only took a day.
Lin Qi looked at the other person's slightly trembling eyes, and when he woke up, he saw the fear in his eyes. Lin Qi caught him red-handed at that moment.
Chapter 508 I'm the best at making empty promises!
When Hiyori woke up, she saw the fear on Lin Qi's face. After all, given what he had done, it would be a miracle if she wasn't afraid.
Hiyori Kozuki has never eaten pork, but she has seen pigs run, let alone stayed in a place like this. Yesterday, Lin Qi completely overturned her understanding of some things.
Hiyori Kozuki really wants to ask, are you even human? Why are you so terrifying?
"Don't worry, I am indeed a human being."
While the other person was thinking about this and that, Lin Qi gave them a definite answer.
Unfortunately, people didn't remain calm after hearing this; instead, they became even more frightened.
"you.."
"You want to ask how I know what you're thinking? Actually, the answer is very simple: you write all your thoughts down in your head."
When I heard Hiyori Kozuki say this, I fell silent. It seemed to be true, since my fear wasn't like that at all; on the contrary, I was openly displaying it.
"That's me..."
Hiyori Kozuki looked rather awkward, having already woken up and regained her memories. She was also aware of the man's current situation, and her gaze towards Lin Qi was filled with shyness.
"Your performance last night only means I'll protect you and keep you from dying. As for anything else, we'll talk about that later. If I satisfy you in the future, I'll definitely satisfy you too."
At this moment, Lin Qi skillfully drew up empty promises, which was basically making empty promises to the other party. Whether or not he would help was up to him, and of course, he himself had no intention of helping.
By this time, Hiyori had been completely devoured, which allowed her to survive. She had no other options, but that didn't mean she wanted to give up. On the contrary, she looked anxious.
"Sir, what have I done to displease you?"
Hiyori Kozuki sat up abruptly, ignoring the pain, and asked the question, as the answer was very important to her.
"Hmm, the answer is actually quite simple. First of all, you're just a newbie. I was the one who guided you through the whole process. The only thing that satisfies me about you is your inherent strengths. As for the rest, think about what kind of rubbish you did last night?"
"Then, I barely lasted yesterday before I passed out. It felt like I was holding a lifeless doll. Tell me, where do you get the confidence that I'd be satisfied?"
At this point, Lin Qi launched into a scathing critique, leaving the other person feeling utterly humiliated. After all, it seemed to be true, but what could he do? He was desperate himself.
"You should know your own problems by now, right? So, regarding your situation, I can only say that I'm not satisfied right now. We'll talk about it later. When I'm satisfied, you'll definitely get what you want. Until then, keep trying and try to please me. Also, there's something I need to tell you: I won't be here every day."
Hiyori Kozuki was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then reached out and took Lin Qi's hand.
"My lord, are you going to abandon me?"
Hiyori was genuinely scared this time, afraid of being abandoned. After all, judging from the other party's tone, they wouldn't stay here forever. If they weren't here, where could they go? Could they really be planning to play around? If so, she would be at a huge loss.
"No, I haven't had enough fun yet, but I'm not here."
Hiyori Kozuki breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as it wasn't the kind of thing that was funny, she was just afraid that the other person would just disappear.
"What do you intend to do with me, sir?"
Hiyori asked this question at this moment, after all, what would she do if the person was not here? You know, this place is full of wolves and tigers, and she could be eaten clean in no time.
It's especially dangerous when you don't have a storage space yourself.
Hiyori Kozuki now only prays that this man won't be so heartless as to really abandon her. If he leaves her here, she's doomed.
"Don't worry, I'll dump you in a village where I have people too."
"Or rather, my little lover is there too. I originally wanted to pamper him today, but I was bored and had nothing to do, so I decided to come here for a stroll."
Hiyori Kozuki was a little confused after hearing this. What was going on?
"Excuse me, may I ask where that village is?"
At this moment, Hiyori Kozuki began to wonder where she would live in the future.
"Is it still within the territory of Wano Country?"
"No."
Hiyori was a little disappointed after hearing the answer; she really didn't want to leave if she could.
"Not here, nor in the New World, but in the East China Sea."
"East China Sea?"
Upon hearing the name of the place, Hiyori Kozuki's face lit up with a look of astonishment. She quickly located the place in her knowledge and exclaimed in disbelief.
"The Four Seas?"
"Yes, I was originally there, but I was bored and had nothing to do, so I just came here for a stroll."
"How could that be? I heard it's very, very far away from here."
Hiyori Kozuki was a little incredulous. How did this person get here? After all, they were said to have come from a very, very far away.
"Hmm, I know what you're thinking, but I just took you to see those people sleeping, have you forgotten? It's not far for me to get here."
Hiyori was a little confused when she heard those two words. Then, she recalled the scene she had seen and how she had seen it before she realized that her teammate had gone there in the blink of an eye and then returned to her room in the blink of an eye.
"Alright, stop thinking about these things. I know your situation better than you do, and I even know what your plans are and what your mother's plans are."
Upon hearing this, Hiyori Kozuki felt a surge of fear. After all, she was genuinely frightened when the other person revealed what her mother was plotting.
