Death… And Me-Novel

The little girl narrowed her eyes in response when Rean called her senior. However, she didn't comment on it. "You were just lucky. I've been looking for a Star Raven for a few days already. I didn't expect to find a Star Raven here, so I was truly surprised when it appeared to attack your group. In the end, I was just helping myself."

The little girl then looked at Kentucky once more before asking, "Do you wanna sell that bird to me? Because of the agreement, I can't force anything while I'm out, so I hope you'll be sensible enough to sell this Minokawa. Divine Stones are no problem. I'll give you a thousand Rank Three Divine Stones."

Hurio and Lilia couldn't help but gulp their saliva after hearing that. A thousand Rank Three Divine Stones was a truly huge fortune, even for a power like the Lanqueas Sect. However, this little girl was offering it in a way that seemed to be nothing more than pocket change in her eyes.

It would be a lie if the twins said they weren't interested in so many Rank Three Divine Stones. Their cultivation would progress much further if they had them. However, exchanging Kentucky for it was definitely out of the question. First of all, that wouldn't be their decision to start with, but Kentucky's instead.

Kentucky then looked at the twins and asked, 'What do I do?'

Rean and Roan shrugged their shoulders, saying, 'Your life, your decision. She seems to be a very powerful expert, so you might have an easier and safer life with her than us. If you wish to go with her, we definitely won't stop you.'

Kentucky shook his head, though. 'No can do. I don't want to just become a pet. At least with you, I can make my own choices... although Roan is quite annoying sometimes.'

Roan's mouth twitched after hearing that. 'If I'm being annoying, it's because you're acting stupid. What about fixing your behavior first, huh? I won't bother you anymore after that. For example, you can stop trying to hit on every single female cultivator you find.'

Kentucky looked away in response, saying, 'Today's weather is quite nice, no?'

Rean sighed after that. 'Alright, so do you want us to tell her, or do you want to do it yourself? It might be a risky thing to show her that you can talk and think by yourself, though.'

Kentucky pondered over it for a bit as he looked at the little girl. For some reason, he believed that she knew the truth already. "Ahem... little lady, I'm sorry, but I don't want to go with you."

The little girl's eyes lit up in response, saying, "I was right. You really have sentience. That makes things easier. My dear beautiful Minokawa, if you come with me, I'll give you all the resources you need to cultivate. No one will be able to inflict any harm to you either. As long as I'm here, you'll be pretty much free to do whatever you want."

Kentucky still shook his head. He didn't need to stay in a single continent forever if he went along with the twins, and he truly wanted to learn more about his race. At the moment, his best clue was in Jhiod Continent, so he wouldn't stay. "Thank you, but I still prefer to travel together with these two."

"Is that because they're your master?" the little girl asked. "I can sever the master-subordinate connection that you have with them if that's the issue."

"Master-subordinate connection?" Kentucky hadn't heard of it before.

Rean quickly explained after that. "Do you remember? We had this Master-subordinate connection with that Golden Rascol. She believes you're our tamed beast."

"Oh, right!" Kentucky didn't pay much attention to that before since he and the twins didn't really have such a thing. Their only connection was due to the Soul Gem System, but Kentucky was free to do whatever he wanted. "Sorry, lady. I've never had such a thing. These two always let me do whatever I wanted, and we're traveling together as companions, not as masters and subordinates."

The little girl was taken aback and immediately spread her Divine Sense into Kentucky, Rean, and Roan. She thought that Kentucky only said that because the twins ordered so. However, the master-subordinate connection she was looking for was nowhere to be seen. "You're seriously a free demon beast, uh? In that case, don't mind if I force you into a master-subordinate contract with me."

Immediately, Rean's group felt the power of space locking them again, just like the Star Raven did. However, they could tell that she was much, much more proficient with it than the raven. However, Kentucky, Rean, and Roan didn't seem very concerned. Due to Kentucky's connection with the twins through the system, Kentucky was also immune to restrictions regarding the soul.

The little girl punctured her finger before a drop of blood came out of it. She then performed a few seals in the air that quickly entered that drop of blood. Soon after, she shot that drop of blood into Kentucky's forehead. Kentucky's forehead then seemed to absorb the drop of blood as its power headed to Kentucky's soul. Eventually, it disappeared inside Kentucky's soul without any resistance whatsoever.

The little girl smiled after seeing that with her Divine Sense. "Don't blame me. The agreement said I couldn't force anything. However, this demon beast isn't bound under any contract, so it doesn't count." Right after, she ordered. "Come here. We're going home."

However, Kentucky looked at the little girl with a puzzled expression. "Why should I? Your home is your home, not mine. If you want to go home, then just go."

The little girl was taken aback when she heard that. "Hmm... perhaps my words didn't sound like an order. Alright, I'll be direct then. Kentucky, right? I order you to follow me to my home."

Kentucky shook his head immediately, saying, "Sorry, but I don't remember to have accepted you as my master or anything."

"Impossible!" After that, the little girl finally lost her composure. "The master-subordinate connection between your soul and mine is definitely there. How come you can defy it?"

Rean and Roan knew why, though. The Soul Gem System's Soul Dummy.. Kentucky also had the right to it as he was born in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, so he obviously didn't feel anything.
