Chapter 30 : Taking a turn for the better

|I roll my eyes.|

[ You don't deserve such a noble title from me.]

And what might that be? If your trying to blackmail me in any way, I'll make sure you regret it."

Blackmail? Don't be so dense. Unlike you I wouldn't do such a thing. You just have to do a few things for me.

[A few?]

"And what would that be?"

No need to rush, let me take my time.

"Haoxuan I don't have time for your shenanigans.Tell me what do you want. You're really getting on my last nerve."

The more you pester me, the more I'll take my sweet time Qing.

"Time is the only thing I don't want to waste right now you pig!"

|I let out a frustrated groan. Then I think for a second.|

[Wait,maybe he doesn't actually know what I'm planning to do and he's just bluffing. Or even better he might be wrong!]

"...Say what exactly was I about to do since you already know."

If you know it yourself, why should I tell you?

|He raises an eyebrow at me|

"I suddenly forgot. Can you refresh my memory a bit, if you don't mind."

Hmm...

|He eyes me for a moment.|

I suppose that's good news if you forgot. It means you won't be doing it anymore. At least there's one fortunate thing when you're an idiot I suppose. Especially if it's you.

| I stare at him fed up by his behavior.|

"Haoxuan have I offended you in my past life? Why do you treat me this way?"

[Certainly I haven't since I wasn't here in my past life.]

No I just want to piss you off.

|I stayed silent.|

[How exactly am I supposed to react in front of this kid...]

|I open my mouth to say something but quickly closed it not bothering to reply. I was annoyed to the point I didn't know how to react.|

[Should I kill him?]

<Calm down. Don't be impulsive.>

[I'm not actually going to do it... just thinking about it that's all.]

<Hen stop thinking about it.>

[I'm trying my best here.]

| I take a deep breath and forced a smile.|

"Listen let's not make this complicated. Tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it without question.Hmm? How does that sound?"

Without question?

"Yes"

Like you'll do it with no hesitation?

"Yes"

[I'm starting to worry]

<You should>

[I am clever.I certainly will not have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent. He will lose against me.]

<Says the one that doesn't have wit whatsoever.It's impossible to underestimate you.>

[As soon as I came in this world. I have only heard insults left and right,from day to night. I might die before 40...again]

<Cheer up!>

[...]

Is that so...

"Yes. Didn't you hear me the first time.?"

Alright then. It's settled.

Ok? So what do you want me to do?

|He thinks for a moment before replying in a smug tone|

You should go out with me. I don't like staying around these humans. And staying here all the time means that our my cultivation is going to slow down... I guess it's the same for you too.

"..."

[Well would you look at that!]

And I want to go out tonight.

"I see... alright then"

[This is surprisingly going out on my favor. He sounds more arrogant than he already is but that's beside the point.]

"Um question."

I thought you said you would do it no questions asked. Besides I already explained my reason what else do you want to know?

"Can you let me say it first? Jeez"

Speak

"Don't order me around"

Are you saying it or not?

"Fine.w hat did you think I was going to do exactly?"

Why are you asking that again?

"Just answer the darn question."

|Haoxuan sighs and rolls his eyes in annoyance.|

Weren't you about to run away? I know how much you liked where we stayed I thought you were going to go back cause I know how impulsive and stubborn you can get.

"Uh huh..."

Either way even if you did try to do that you'd be captured.

"Okay"

[At least that's one benefit when someone looks down on you so much.]

|He notices the relief in my voice and the mild amusement in my eyes and raises an eyebrow.|

Was that not what you were about to do?

"Oh yeah yeah absolutely."

|He narrows his eyes at me in suspicion.|

Mhm...

"So when are we going?"

In a few hours. When that 'master' falls asleep.

"You know you don't have to refer o him as that he said he doesn't like it."

Just being cautious.

"More like paranoid."

You should learn to stay quiet.

"You should do the same"

Idiot

"Moron."
