"You! Fine..."
Shirel relented.
With a sullen face, she said, "Can you untie me first, then let me take a hot bath and change my clothes?"
Zhao Chi shook his head. "No. Give me something valuable, and I'll release you. If you have nothing, then I'll make sure that 2-point Obedience Level of yours gets a nice boost to 5 points."
Gu Qing, clutching a needle, smiled at Shirel.
Shirel finally softened her tone. "I'm filthy. Bathing will also help me coalesce the Racial Bloodline more smoothly."
"Racial Bloodline?"
The term immediately caught Zhao Chi's attention.
"Yes, the Racial Bloodline of a Primordial Elf. That should be worth far more than 500 Gold Coins, right?"
"Primordial Bloodline? That's right! It's worth far more than 500 Gold Coins! So you had something like this all along? Why didn't you say so earlier? It seems you do have some good stuff hidden in your System Space after all."
