Xu Ke sighed. "I understand that you are angry. I made a mistake. I know threatening you wasn't such a very good idea. However you must consider. I am hopeless without your help."
"I am not angry." She looked at him. "I am hungry."
Xu Ke sighed. "It seems that coming into this world thoroughly changed your priorities."
However, Lyca's attention was no longer with him. It was on the batches of food that two people were carrying towards the table by her bed.
"Eat it. It's not poisoned."
"I would eat it even if it was," she fired back, rendering him speechless.
"I am here because I want to ask you sothing about this" he held a stone in his hand. "Right now, I can only summon stones as small as this and creatures."
"Black stars ore?" Lyca uttered. Then the realization hit her. She had seen the sa stones on the Chu Family and on the people that she killed in Kong City. She had studied it and confird it was in that the Black stars ore from her previous world. "It's useless."
"I know. It's useless in our world. But I think it could change this world."
Lyca snorted. "How? Magic?"
"Exactly!"
She lifted an eyebrow. "You think people who wear them could use it? Impossible. The stone doesn't do anything. It doesn't attract anything."
"But electricity."
"Electricity. Yey!" Sarcasm was rich in her tone.
"I want to know if there is any other way to use it."
"Why are you asking this question? Did you forget that I am inside a room with nothing but a bed and table?"
"This is why I am letting you leave the room. But you have to promise . Do not try sothing or else your family will suffer. After all, Tang Ruyi is here working with Jihan for a secret project."
Lyca imdiately frowned. She lifted her gaze off the food and stared at him. "You dragged here her?"
"To be fair, she volunteered. She wanted an experience. I t her last night over dinner. I think she is a very lovely woman. Kinda like you. But I believe she doesn't have any interest in n."
"You "
"Hey don't look at like that. I already told you. She volunteered to co here. Kinda like how you ca here on your own accord."
"I will help you."
"I knew you would say that."
"Promise you won't hurt her." She knew his promise was useless. She Xu Ke. At the end of the day, he would only say that he promised her but his n didn't. His n could kill Tang Ruyi anyti and this shaless Xu Ke would never say that it was him who killed her.
Ruthless.
Cunning.
But stupid.
Lyca sneered inwardly.
"Of course I won't hurt her. She is my cousin too by the marriage of course."
"Who would want to marry you?"
"You After all, you are already a widow. Isn't it right that you move on and find another man to marry?"
Lyca stared at his smug face. She almost couldn't believe her ears. How co Xu Ke is doing everything that she thought he would do? From the imprisonnt to threatening the Tang Family to Tang Ruyi and now marriage?
Lyca was certain that she wasn't the Lyca that he used to know. But why was he acting like he was still the previous Xu Ke? He was using the sa old tricks over and over, it was comical.
"No need to worry. I am not going to force you into anything. You will marry because you want to."
She shook her head inwardly and focused on her food instead.
"Anyway, I will provide you with a lab. You will study the stone and you will be monitored twenty-four seven. I already removed all the weapons in your, the bracelet, the necklace, and that god-awful engagent ring. Why would Shen Qui gave you sothing so cheap?"
"Give the ring."
"Of course but only if you provide with sothing important first."
"What information do you want?"
"Internal energy. How many are you able to cultivate?"
"All of it."
"All of it?" he asked, he wanted to confirm if he read the whole thing. "How is that possible? You are only a soul. This is not your original body."
Lyca was speechless. What could it an? She and Shen Qui was able to cultivate their ridians and were able to complete all energy points.
"I don't know. I just cultivated it." She wasn't planning to tell Shen Qui that she had been cultivating naked, or at least most of the ti.
"Then how did you co back? Ye Bai you possessed her, right? This face is Ye Bai's too. How did you co back?"
"I don't know what you are talking about!"
"You knew what I was talking about! You ca back using this body to haunt ! To kill my family! You made feel what you felt when I killed yours!" Xu Ke's face turned ugly, his sharp gaze bored into her. "How!"
"I don't know! You can investigate it! I just fell asleep and beca comatose for three years!" Of course, she isn't going to tell him about the necklace. Nope not even if she died.
"I don't believe you."
"Xu Ke you can think about it. When I ca here I don't have any other intention but to live a good life and for a mont, I succeeded. But those people your people bothered . So I ran away. After that, I just fell asleep. I don't know what happened and I have no idea how it happened. One day, I was in my bed, the next ti, I was in the previous world."
"Then how'd you co back here?"
"I don't know"
"You "
"I honestly don't! I just decided to "
"To what?"
"To let go of you."
His face turned sour. "I don't believe you."
Lyca just stared at him in response, hoping that he would just leave her alone so she could enjoy her alti.
