"Heh. Of course, I want to live. Isn't that why I agreed to suffer such humiliation in the first place? But I had never expected you to be this cruel and extract my vital yin." Amara hatefully said.
"Agreed to?" Max raised his brows in confusion. A moment later, he realized the system must have made some deal with her.
Extending his hand, he slowly caressed her now pale face and asked with a smirk, "How it is cruel? You are my enemy. If not for someone protecting me in time, you would've killed me. I believe no matter what I do to you, it won't be cruel, but only right. Isn't this the unwritten rule of the magic world? Or, am I wrong here?"
Hearing his question, Amara was tongue tied. She knew he was right. If you couldn't kill your enemy, you should be prepared to face a life worse than death.
In the end, she could only glare at him and ask, "So, what do you want now?"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on his face. He stopped caressing her face and said word by word, "I want you to become my slave. If you agree, I'll spare your life. Don't worry. I won't ask you to betray your tribe or do anything that's against your beliefs. Think about it carefully before you answer, as your life depends on it."
"Huh?" Amara's expression worsened as soon as she heard this and hysterically shouted, "Senior, didn't you say you'll save my life if agree to satisfy him? Why do I have to become his slave now?"
[Little doll, I did say that and as a result, aren't you still alive? However, I never said you'll be able to escape. Kekeke.] The system's cackled evilly.
Max's brows scrunched up together when he heard their exchange, but didn't say anything. He just waited for her decision.
Amara had become so angry after hearing 'the' senior's reply that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood in anger.
After a while, she glanced at Max and angrily asked, "If I agree to become your slave, won't I still die when you extract my remaining vital yin energy? So, isn't is better for me to die right now?"
"Mm? Don't you have the blood demon's powers? Can't you just consume other female's blood and recover your yin energy?" Max asked, confused. Was she trying to deceive him and gain some more benefits?
"Hahahaha. You really aren't from here. You don't know anything about us demons." Amara laughed. She had already suspected that Max might not be a native of the demon continent because he didn't even know the common demon language before and now, he was proving it by saying that she had blood demon's powers.
She then continued, "The blood demon's power that you speak of is a bloodline ability and very few people in my tribe can awaken their bloodline. If not, why do you think my tribe isn't even in the top ten demon tribes right now? So, tell me, how am I supposed to recover when I haven't awakened my bloodline?"
"Old man, don't tell me you forgot to tell me this?" Max asked the system.
[So what if she hasn't already? I can help her awaken it.] The system indifferently said.
"Huh?" Amara's body jerked in surprise when she heard it and she asked in disbelief, "S-Senior, can you really do it?"
[Heh, I'm capable of doing things that others can't possibly hope to imagine. Awakening dormant bloodlines is just a small thing for me.] The system proudly declared.
Amara started trembling in excitement when she heard the confirmation. If she could awaken her bloodline, her tribe would pay special attention to her and pour more resources for her development.
She could even compete for the tribe leader's position. Most importantly, she could request the higher ups to pardon her loving big brother and free him.
Thinking all this, her heartbeat quickened as she hurriedly asked, "T-Then can you really awaken my bloodline if I agree to become his slave?"
[Of course.]
Hearing this, Amara looked at Max and resolutely said, "I agree to become your slave, but as you promised, you are not to ask me to betray my tribe or ask me to do anything that is against my beliefs."
Max didn't answer her immediately, but spoke to the system instead. "I believe I will have to pay you to awaken her bloodline. Is that right?"
Hearing this, Amara was surprised. What can a two-star weakling pay to an emperor or maybe a monarch level demon?
[That's right. If you want me to awaken her bloodline, you've to pay me a million lust points. If you agree, not only will I help you awaken her bloodline, I will also give you an ancient slave spell which will help you control any person or beast, irrespective of their power level. Of course, the target shouldn't resist even a slight bit when you cast this spell or it'll fail and you'll receive a severe backlash.] The system said.
"I appreciate your goodwill for offering me such an amazing spell for free." Max calmly said. He knew there wasn't any spell that could help you control a person or beast if they were a major realm above the user. Therefore, the spell the system offered was certainly a legendary spell that people would become mad for if they knew of its existence.
Saying this, he continued, "However, 1 million LPs are way too much. If you offer a reasonable…"
[Hey, hey. Stop right there.] The system interrupted before he could say anything and transmitted its angry voice into his head.
[You think 1 million is too much? How laughable! She gave you 200,000 when you've only extracted one third of her yin energy. This means she is worth 600,000 LPs as of now. So, you can easily imagine how much would she be worth after her bloodline is awakened and she can easily recover her yin energy. Tell me, is a million still seem too much to you?]
Hearing this, Max shrugged, "Alright. I agree." He just wanted to try his luck again to see if he could lower the price.
He then asked, "Can I also pay this one million in the demon cores?"
