Astral Pet Store Novel - Chapter 226
Chapter 226: A Deal
Su Ping didn’t know what to do.
The two of them gazed at each other in speechless dismay.
After a short moment of silence, Su Ping felt a sudden and cold air current that was swarming toward him. The girl had taken out her finger from her delicate nostril. A ray of golden light was shot from her fingertip; it went straight for Su Ping.
“This is a mistake…”
Su Ping couldn’t finish his sentence. He had to jump to the side first.
After days of training and practice, Su Ping’s reaction had become quite agile and fast. His astral powers had increased to the lower position of the fifth rank from the upper position of the fourth rank. With the help of the Star Prism, he could mobilize astral powers of the upper position of the seventh rank.
Astral powers were running across his entire body. The Solar Bulwark gave him explosive power as well. The moment the girl lifted her fingers, Su Ping had already moved away. At the same time, he opened up the contract space; the Little Skeleton was the first to come out. An evil aura was exuded by the Little Skeleton, who stood between Su Ping and the girl. A dangerous light was flickering in the Little Skeleton’s crimson eye sockets.
That ray of golden light pierced through the wall behind Su Ping. The entire room was shaking.
Su Ping felt like weeping but had no tears. What a huge mess.
He had always known that random revivals were uncertain. Sometimes, when he went back to life, he would appear directly inside some beasts’ mouths. This time, he had revived in some weird, violent girl’s room.
“It’s you again!!”
The girl glared at Su Ping and bit her teeth.
Su Ping was confused.
All of a sudden, he noticed that the girl looked familiar.
On second thought, he remembered that this was the girl of the god race that he had met on the first day he was teleported to the Demigod Burial.
It was her?
Oh, destiny is a b*tch…
Su Ping was smiling wryly inside.
“This is just a mistake, a misunderstanding…”
The girl didn’t heed Su Ping’s complaints. While furious, the girl was stunned. Her room was covered with a seal of enchantment. It would be hard even for supreme gods to break in. How could this human come in from nowhere…
Her eyes flickered. She recalled how this person had “faked his death” to get away last time…
The previous time she went out to chase Su Ping, but was unable to find him and she could only come back empty-handed. She had to let the matter slide. But Su Ping reappearing had proven her speculation and a shocking matter.
There was a mighty existence that could control the power of space and time behind this human!
“Who are you exactly?”
The girl pulled a long face. She didn’t try to attack Su Ping again. What happened the previous time had proven that she could never end the human’s life for real. If she went too far or decided to use her true strength, she would probably antagonize the mighty existence and force a dangerous confrontation.
If that happened, it would be impossible to escape with her life…
Su Ping produced a forced smile. It was the same question from before…
Why did she have to get to the bottom of this? There was nothing special about him.
“A man? An upstanding citizen? For you, perhaps I should be called an alien…” Su Ping looked at the girl. He wondered if she would find his answer satisfactory. He would hate to waste his energy points unnecessarily.
Besides, his stay at the Demigod Burial was about to reach its end. He wasn’t worried that she could imprison him. But he would very much love not to be imprisoned and be able to continue this conversation.
The girl knew it was unlikely that Su Ping would give her the answer she was looking for that easily. She thought of another question. “Last time, you mentioned that you were from another world. What is the name of your word? Where is it? What are the coordinates?”
“It’s the Blue Planet. As for the location… Is the solar system a good answer? As for the coordinates, I don’t know,” Su Ping said honestly. As a matter of fact, even if he knew the coordinates, he would never reveal them. On the off chance that this Demigod Burial wasn’t far from the Blue Planet’s galaxy, and those of the god race hunted him down, it would be a disaster for the entire federation.
The girl sneered. “What’s your intention of appearing before me repeatedly?”
“… This is just a misunderstanding.”
The girl tried to threaten Su Ping, “Hmm, tell me the truth. I know you’re not afraid of death and that you can leverage the power of space and time to come back to life. But imagine this. I can make you a wanted man. I believe that in this Central Divinity, no matter how many times you can come back to life, the ultimate outcome is still your doom!”
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. That was a problem for him.
That being said, he could stop coming here in the worst case scenario. After all, there were quite a number of godly planes. If he had to, he could save up some energy points and go to the Archean Divinity directly to train his pets.
At the same time, he was wondering if he could use his revival chances to kill this girl.
“What are you thinking?” The girl became alert. It was just an instant but she did catch that flashing glimpse of killing intent which gave her the chills.
She wasn’t afraid of Su Ping, but she was worried about the mighty existence behind all this.
Su Ping didn’t know that his killing intent would be so easily noticed by the girl. Surprised, he stared at the girl and began to think.
Su Ping remained silent. The girl was worried. Secretly, she put on an armor suit. She had calmed herself down. She was considering what she should do once the battle began.
There were no sounds in the room for a moment. After a while, Su Ping resumed the conversation. “Here’s what I think. We don’t have to be hostile. Since you know you cannot kill me, why do you have to make things so difficult for me?”
The girl replied with silence.
Theoretically speaking, she didn’t have to target a pawn that was being manipulated by some mighty existence. Rather, she should befriend him. She didn’t have to make an enemy for that mysterious Divinity.
However, this human had picked the worst times to show up, which were among the most embarrassing moments for her. She had been taken advantage of twice, including their first encounter…
Despicable!
She bit her teeth in fury and clenched her fists tightly.
While she was furious, she did manage to stop herself from throwing a tantrum.
Su Ping thought of an idea. “How about we make a deal?”
“A deal?”
“A deal?”
The girl looked at him. What is the human aiming for by coming here?
“What kind of deal?” she asked.
Su Ping grinned while putting an innocent expression. “Last time, you said that your cultivation would progress rapidly if you could visit the Archean Divinity, right? What if I tell you that I have a way to take you there?”
The girl was taken aback.
In that plane, the words “Archean Divinity” were taboo.
Only those like her, the pure-blooded of the god race, understood the significance of those words. The name carried meanings and dignity!
However, the Archean Divinity had long been closed. No other outside races were allowed in. Not even the supreme gods could break the barrier to the Archean Divinity.
Otherwise, they would have opened up the path so that this fallen piece of land could return to the Archean Divinity. It was their hometown as well…
A short while of silence later, the girl asked, “What do you want?”
She glared at Su Ping. She would turn her nose up if it were someone else telling her this. But this human was odd and he was being backed by a mighty existence that could manipulate space and time; that existence was likely to know how to access the Archean Divinity.
