Qianye Ying'er (1)

Yakou decided it was time to meet the Brahma Monarch Goddess and have a serious talk because it didn't go well the last time due to his tampering with her memories...

He cut down his cultivation season as he went to meet Qianye Ying'er the moment she woke up; as he wanted to get over with this thing and be done with this matter as soon as possible.

When Yakou used genjutsu on her and essentially entered her memories, he really saw how ruthless, scheming, ambitious and intelligent woman she was. She was a very rare talent not only for cultivation but also in terms of intellect, which was exceedingly rare.

This created some sort of desire inside his being that made him want to own her or have her on their side because she was indeed a talent worth of recruiting.

Even for the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

In truth, her intellect and scheming capabilities were the ones that made Yakou desire her allegiance because the cultivation of talent could be made. With the God Tree, it was possible, as they could just cultivate special fruit.

But intellect and other capabilities that Qianye Ying'er displayed from an early age were something that couldn't be really taught or obtained; that was something that one needed to be born with.

Meanwhile, Yakou was talking to himself at the other part of the Ōtsutsuki Clan warship in one peculiar room; the person in question was slowly waking up from her slumber like a cursed princess awoken by the prince.

That was a bit ironic because of the people on the ship had very prestigious status within their respective Origin Worlds.

Qianye Ying'er slowly opened her eyes as she woke up in the unfamiliar environment and the first thing she did was scan her surroundings with her Divine Sense as she started remembering what had happened.

Unfortunately, when she attempted to do so, she realized she couldn't cover even the room where she was sleeping and she also found out that she had almost no Profound Energy.

It didn't take her long to realize that this entire room served some anti-energy properties so she couldn't do anything, but at the same time, the good news about the situation was that, at least she wasn't bound or restrained.

Not having access to the Divine Sense was pretty bad because she couldn't even tell if someone else was on the ship, but then she remembered that the last thing that happened was meeting a weird pale-skinned man with a third eye at the God Realm of Absolute Beginning.

She knew that any attempt to escape was futile, so the only rational thing she could do was to remain here and wait. If possible, she could still negotiate with her captor, if he could be even called such.

Simultaneously, she was being overcome by enormous rage and hatred because the last thing she remembered before the man was knocked out was that he somehow tampered with her mind and unsealed some of her sealed memories.

Unconsciously, she started crying when she thought about the fact that her mother was killed by her father.

She was aware that her father, for sure, inserted some failsafe through the Brahma Soul Bell and right now, she was probably being proclaimed dead by the Brahma Monarch God Realm while some of the powerhouses were searching for her.

Qianye Ying'er grits her teeth in anger as she thinks over this because she is aware that for her father, she is nothing more than just another pawn. While she wasn't insignificant on the board, she was still a pawn.

"I see that you are already awake... that is good; you were sleeping for several days straight."

Suddenly she was woken up from her thoughts when she saw the familiar man entering the room. He looked at her with contempt, pity and anticipation weirdly enough, though at the same time, he was lacking the usual thing that men had when they were looking at her, which was lust.

Certainly, Yakou was very good at controlling his urges and even though he had to admit that Qianye Ying'er was probably the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, he also had to admit that beauty without any other added value was useless.

Yakou then went to her bed as he sat on the leather sofa that was next to it and slowly looked at Qianye Ying'er.

"So let's start over... My name is Ōtsutsuki Yakou, Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan."

Yakou introduced himself causally because he thought that this would be a better first meeting than the previous one, which didn't end really well.

"Qianye Ying'er, now it should be former Crown Princess of the Brahma Monarch God Realm."

She answered, at one side being glad that he didn't look at her lustfully, but at the same time, she was also aware that her greatest advantage couldn't be used in the negotiations or whatever that was about to follow.

"Are you native to the God Realm of Absolute Beginning?... No, you lack Profound Energy and have something else... qualitatively superior... not native to the Primal Chaos Dimension?"

Even he had to admit that just by saying some sentences and observing his facial expressions, she was able to get her answers without him saying a word.

While he was good at controlling himself, her abilities to read people were indeed frightening, as rumors told, as expected from a master manipulator and grandmaster schemer.

"Second one..."

Yakou didn't really have any reason to deny this and covering it up sounded more troublesome, and he was lazy for something like that.

"Hmm... then allow me to ask you, what is your species doing in the Primal Chaos Dimension?"

She asked carefully when looking at the Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. From his posture, appearance and style of talking, she was able to deduce that he belonged to the younger generation and yet, he was very strong.

As observant as she was about her environment and even the ship where she was, from which she was able to sense great power, it didn't take her long to figure out that whatever background he came from was huge.

Far bigger than anyone in the Primal Chaos Dimension could afford to offend.

And while dangerous, though, she started spreading the net.

"You know, I like people like you..."

Yakou chuckled as he said that and looked straight into her golden eyes as her eyebrows twitched at the jovial tone of the "alien".
