Chapter 490 That person is me
"Are you willing to part with it?"
Renotia snorted coldly.
"Of course I'd be willing to give it up."
After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou exerted force and pulled Renotia to the ground.
"Hmm."
Renodia let out a painful whimper.
"Have I been too lenient with you? Making you think I'm easy to talk to?"
"Remember this: don't take my kindness and patience for granted, or I'll show you my cruelty."
With another strong pull, Jiang Shuzhou dragged Renotia onto his lap, then stroked the top of her head with one hand and gently scratched her chin with the other, as if teasing a dog.
"This is so much fun."
A strange light flickered in Jiang Shuzhou's eyes.
"Master, are you trying to scare her to death?"
Seeing Jiang Shuzhou's terrifying performance, Grace couldn't help but facepalm, feeling it was utterly outrageous.
He clearly knows how to treat girls gently, but this is how he behaves.
"So what?"
Jiang Shuzhou responded with an indifferent tone.
"Take your time adjusting it; I have plenty of time."
"Then why was I different back then?"
"How can that be the same? You are my apprentice, and she is my captive, slave, pet, research subject, and music player. Naturally, the treatment is different."
Jiang Shuzhou has always believed in the principle that one should do what is appropriate for one's role.
Grace is Jiang Shuzhou's apprentice, so naturally, Jiang Shuzhou will show her a gentle side.
As for Renodia?
Since they're not apprentices, they don't need to be treated well.
Besides, Jiang Shuzhou didn't abuse her; he was just taming her.
"Gu, just kill me."
Renodia has begun to beg for death.
"What are you thinking? I went through so much trouble to get you, I'm not going to let you die like this."
I must say, as a pet, Renoir feels really nice to pet.
"Sigh... Master, you've only found women in this life purely by luck. If things continue like this, you'd probably be single forever under normal circumstances."
Grace, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer.
"Women aren't a necessity; enough is enough. Besides, if I wanted to, how many people do you think would send me women?"
Although no one is sending women to Jiang Shuzhou now, it's because of Grace. After all, they're always seen together, which is common knowledge.
If Jiang Shuzhou were still single, or if Grace weren't a legendary mage, then naturally there would be plenty of people willing to offer Jiang Shuzhou women, just for a good impression or a compliment.
But now, Grace is considered Jiang Shuzhou's official wife. Under these circumstances, who can send her a gift, and who would dare to send her a gift?
Grace's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this.
"Master, do you mean I'm interfering with your harem of three thousand beauties?"
"No, that's not it. I have endless things to do every day, why would I need a harem?"
Even with Grace, Jiang Shuzhou couldn't guarantee once a week, mainly because he genuinely didn't have the time.
However, they often did experiments together, which could be considered a form of companionship instead.
At this moment, Renodia, who had been silent all along, spoke.
"You seem happy?"
"What's wrong?"
"Because of you, yet another race is about to go extinct."
Jiang Shuzhou was taken aback, then realized that Renotia was referring to herself.
"It's alright, I do this all the time."
"But you never know, after all, my lifespan isn't as long as yours now."
Jiang Shuzhou planned to tease Renoir.
Upon hearing this, Renotia's eyes lit up immediately.
She only needs to endure a few tens of thousands of years at most, until the other person dies of old age, and then she can happily return to her freedom.
When the time comes, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap and the sky high enough for birds to fly, and she will regain her freedom.
"So, how long can you live?"
"Renodia asked cautiously."
"I'm only in my thirties now, and I can live for another hundred thousand years or so. I have plenty of time to slowly mold you."
"..."
Tens of thousands of years, Renotia thought, but it wasn't a big problem. She gritted her teeth and figured she could get through it.
"Oh, by the way, when I die, I'll make sure you're buried with me."
With those words, Renottia's eyes, which had just brightened with hope, instantly dimmed again.
Watching Renodia's performance, Jiang Shuzhou found it quite amusing. No wonder so many people like to tease cats and dogs; these pets are indeed fun.
"Your life is now in my hands. Sing obediently and be a lark, and you'll suffer less. Otherwise..."
Hooking onto the collar, Jiang Shuzhou pulled Renotia directly into his arms.
"Otherwise, you'll have to enjoy my full range of services."
Renodia didn't react to this at all, as if she had been completely ruined.
She planned to fight like this, even if it meant death, she just couldn't let Jiang Shuzhou have his way.
At this moment, seemingly unable to bear it any longer, Grace opened her mouth.
"I heard you're a Star Whale, right?"
She nodded almost imperceptibly. Renodia did have a slight liking for Grace, after all, she was the only person who had ever spoken up for her.
"Are you looking for a partner?"
Renodia nodded again.
She has always hoped to find a partner to spend the rest of her life with, and then have a child to carry on the race.
After all, no one wants their race to be wiped out, especially because of themselves.
More importantly, I was too lonely.
That feeling of not being one of my kind.
"Then you must have foreseen it, that you have no one of your kind left, right?"
Grace asked again.
"No, I still have some, he's just hiding it. He'll save me! I predicted it!"
"What prophecy?"
Immediately afterwards, Renotia uttered the prophecy.
"You will obtain what you desire, the hermit will dance with you, and your song will be sung for him alone."
Then, as if to comfort herself, Renotia continued.
Fate never lies.
These words seemed to offer her some comfort.
"Fate does not lie, but you cannot choose how it will come to pass."
Jiang Shuzhou immediately added a sentence.
"No matter what, my beloved will come to save me. Prepare to die then!"
Renoir remained defiant.
Is it possible that I am the one you love?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Renodia struggled frantically, trying to escape Jiang Shuzhou's embrace.
She realized something, but she didn't want to accept it.
"Okay, I'll tell you something."
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shuzhou lowered his head and whispered a few words to Renotia.
Then, Renodia, who had been struggling frantically, suddenly went limp.
"I have the ability to conceal my destiny, therefore, I am the hermit."
"Also, although I am not an astral whale, my species is special and there is no reproductive isolation, so if you want to continue your species, you still need me."
