9 Will you be my friend?

Greenlight intensified on Yun Che's palm and a body frame of a petite girl formed.

The figure looked like a young dainty and has a petite body, with snow-white skin, bright red hair, and unrivaled beauty.

Although Jasmine was young, her upper body had considerably matured. Her snow-white breasts were like two jade pearls on her perfect body, as soft as the springtime shoots of bamboo.

Even though her body had still not matured yet, there was still the release of a stunning charm that would steal souls in her immaturity. It was as if all the beauty in the world had been mustered inside this body of ultimate perfection.

A pair of exceptionally very black demonic-looking eyes flashed mysteriously as Jasmine blinked. She continued to inspect the 'human' in front of her.

Yun Che seemingly observed Jasmine's movements. Jasmine was the first to comment.

"Hmph!... What are you staring at this princess for?" Jasmine voiced out. Her temperament was that of a princess.

"Nah... You looked so beautiful that I couldn't take off my eyes from you" Yun Che didn't avert his gaze and told the truth. It was his first time looking at her so closely and her features were breath-taking. As a man, how could he not appreciate it?

Jasmine looked into Yun Che's eyes and saw no lust towards her but only appreciation in his eyes. Her cheeks flushed red. It was her first time someone flirted so openly with her.

Jasmine is from the Star God Realm, a place in the Realm of the Gods. While growing up she always used to be under her brother's scrutiny and one dared to even speak with her. There's no flirting in her dictionary. She was always pampered by her one and only brother.

Seeing that, Yun Che still didn't turn his gaze away, she slowly lowered her guard and spoke

"Why is it with you?" asked Jasmine a little doubtfully.

"What?"

"The Sky Poison Pearl, One of the Heavenly Treasures, now... answer me, why is it with you?" asked Jasmine impatiently.

She was restricted from using any of her divine powers but still felt Yun Che's cultivation which was so low in her opinion. She couldn't understand why something such as Sky Poison Pearl, has chosen him.

Earlier, she assumed it to be Sky Poison Pearl but wasn't sure of it but now she felt the treasure's power was not be underestimated as she was considerably healing from Absolute God Slaying Poison which shouldn't be cured aside of that.

Yun Che put his hand forward and his palm shone with green light as an orb soon manifested.

"Is this it?" asked Yun Che.

"Y-yes" Jasmine felt a little bit of divine aura radiating from Sky Poison Pearl and nodded her head.

Yun Che didn't know how to answer. At first, he thought that he received this along with the system as his memories from the past body owner were still cloudy. He could only access a little information here and there. But now, hearing it from Jasmine, this possibility of this coming from the system is wrong.

Yun Che telepathically asked the system.

"System, What is this green orb on my right palm?"

[Ding!]

[Answering to Host...]

[It is one of the Seven Heavenly Profound Treasures]

[The previous owner of this body possessing it to lead to his demise]

"Oh!..." Yun Che could now join the pieces together. It told him highly of this thing's ability as he could infer from the memories that the whole planet was against him to grab hold of this treasure. It is the reason why many of them were poisoned to death.

"This... I don't know how to tell you" replied Yun Che.

"I woke up one day and it has been there since then" answered Yun Che truthfully.

Not detecting any lies from Yun Che, Jasmine spoke.

"It doesn't matter. From now on, you shall swear to be a slave to this princess. Now kowtow to me"

Yun Che was left dumbfounded. What is happening here? Just now.. did she order him to serve her. Hearing it from her, his blood started boiling for some reason. Taking little time to control it, he asked "Why, why should I be your slave?" Yun Che knitted his brows and asked.

Not noticing the abnormality in Yun Che's tone, she casually replied

"You are too lucky to become a slave to this princess. Now.. follow my orders and I'll present you with one or two resources which will aid you in your cultivation" Jasmine swept her hands.

Jasmine thought Yun Che would eagerly accept her offer to get some benefits. She could get what she wants to rebuild her body. Then she planned to get back her revenge. That blond woman... who took her most valuable thing from her. Her brother...

She gritted her teeth after remembering those painful memories which she can't forget no matter how hard she tried. She soon regained her sense when she heard Yun Che.

"I reject"

Just this small reply, left her mouth agape.

"Ask me anything under my power. I will..."

As Jasmine was yet to say, Yun Che repeated,

"I reject"

"W-why?" Jasmine stuttered. She thought of many possibilities but Yun Che's rejecting was none of them. She didn't take no for an answer.

"I don't how it sounds to you. But for me... It doesn't sound good. It's like someone comes to you someday and offers to be his slave. Will you accept?" asked Yun Che.

"As for you offering me cultivation resources, I am not at all interested" replied Yun Che. It is true though. As he has a system, why would he require resources? His system has already provided him sufficient things for which he was glad. And he doesn't want to lose his freedom, for the sake of them.

"I assume you've come from a far place. And your cultivation isn't one I can think of. But... Did you reach your current level without anyone aiding you? If not.. you're not one to force me to do your chores. I am not interested" Yun Che continued.

Jasmine felt daggers into her heart. How ironic, daggers were her favorite weapon of choice and now they seemed to have penetrated her own heart. In her life, something deep happened with her father, which involved her. This caused her to have a very deep-seated hatred and killing intent for him.

The current her was raised by him as he provided her with all the resources to sacrifice her for someday. Here, she is showing her superiority to Yun Che using her title as princess. Thinking this way didn't sit well for her.

Jasmine stood there motionlessly and slowly lowered her head and requested

"Please... please... help me!" It was her first time lowering her head and that too to a stranger. But her intuition told her that once she slips away from this chance, she wouldn't get it back. She took up the risk. He was her hope... her Only hope.

"I will help you. But first..."

Jasmine was expecting Yun Che will ask something hard from her. But once again it left her speechless.

"Will you be my friend?"
