Fox Demon: God rewards hard work, I will eventually master martial arts and become a god

Chapter 323 It’s a pity

"I don't really want to mention the third person. I should even say that I didn't invite him. He came here on his own."

"There's nothing I can do to stop it, and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it."

"General Budd, the supreme military commander of this country."

Ernest held his forehead with his hands, as if the mere thought of such a person making him angry.

"But no one can stop you. Who has the courage to stop him?"

“It was from that time that I truly realized that I had to grasp my own power.”

Ernest clenched his fists, as if he really felt the power.

"So I gave the resources to Esdeath, and she has become a special existence."

"She is a soldier, but she can disobey General Bud's orders when necessary. Her army is under her command alone."

"This concentration of power has caused Esdeath to become increasingly disobedient."

"I felt bad about that, so I had to start looking for someone."

"Now that you've gotten a taste of power, are you interested?"

Ernest said.

"What kind of interests?"

Sailu asked back.

"Becoming the next Esdeath's interest."

Ernest leaned forward.

"Unfortunately, not yet."

Silu shook his head.

Ernest was suddenly stunned. In his eyes, this was almost a done deal.

Because no matter how he thought about it, Sailu had no reason to refuse.

In the empire, power means everything.

Ernest is a beneficiary of such a system. He holds power and also exercises checks and balances in multiple directions.

So even though General Budd had a bad relationship with him in the court, he still lived well.

Even a strong man like Esdeath cannot fall out with Ernest.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is that even a strong person like Esdeath can be disobedient at times.

Ernest has had the experience of training once, so in Ernest's eyes, this time he will not repeat the same mistake.

She wanted to completely turn Sero into her dog.

But unexpectedly, Seleu refused, and Ernest suddenly became a little flustered.

If she refused, then everything Ernest thought would be wrong.

There was not much time left for Ernest, and Seleu was approaching the stairs, where she was going to end their conversation.

"Wait a minute, maybe you can think about it again."

"Not only you, but all hunters will benefit. If you think the period is too long, then..."

"I can let you have some wealth and power first. The property of this hotel can be changed to your name at any time."

"You can come to the court tomorrow, and I will make you the new general of the empire."

Ernest quickly called out to Seleu.

Once again, Ernest raised the stakes.

Although the connection between them has not been established and the cooperation has not been finalized.

But it doesn't matter, Ernest doesn't think it's a problem, he can even pay first.

The four Rakshasa ghosts guarding the stairs were stunned when they heard this.

In their memory, there were similar things happening before, but this was the first time that Ernest was so generous.

Or it should be said that this is unprecedented and will never be repeated. Even Esdeath did not have such conditions at the beginning.

Sylvia turned around slowly.

Ernest suddenly smiled, which, in his opinion, meant he agreed.

Ernest smiled with satisfaction and thought to himself, "I knew it, it's just that the price was not right."

"However, I still refuse."

Sailu said softly.

Then he walked down the stairs without looking back.

Ernest's hand suddenly stopped, his hand suspended in mid-air, not knowing what to say.

Until Seleu walked away, Ernest thought he had misheard.

Sailu gathered the other hunters together in the meeting place.

"It seems that this place is not suitable for us. Let's just have a simple dinner together. Find a restaurant with a good reputation and I'll pay for it."

Sailu said softly.

This won the support of many hunter members.

The hunters had a hearty meal in the restaurant late at night, playing with each other while eating, and complaining about the various strange things that happened at Ernest's party.

For example, some people will directly touch the waiter.

When the lights are dim, she even reaches directly into the skirt.

Also, the desserts there were not tasty at all, and Hei Tong especially complained about this.

After finishing their meal, Sailu invited them to take a bath in the bathhouse.

Separate sections for men and women.

It seemed like Hei Tong was coming to such a place for the first time, and he looked very awkward standing in front of the cabinet.

So Sailu helped her take off her clothes and wrapped her in a bath towel.

They rubbed each other's backs.

Sailu's hands were quite heavy, and Hei Tong couldn't stand it at the beginning, so Hei Tong decisively volunteered to rub it himself.

Although Seleu found it strange, it was true.
Perhaps because he came from the Imperial Assassination Forces, Sailu's skills are quite good.

And he also has a good grasp of the acupoints.

"To be honest, you are more skilled than me."

Sailu said softly.

"I learned this in the army. Because we had to kill with one strike, I didn't have enough strength at the beginning. I was still a child at that time."

"So I will remember the acupuncture points and try to strike the weakest spots."

Hei Tong whispered.

"Sure. With this skill, if I don't work in the Empire anymore, I can open a shop to support myself."

Sailu said softly.

"I have a serious disability, and I may not have that much time."

Hei Tong said.

"There will be bread, there will be milk, but who can tell what the future holds?"

Sailu touched Hei Tong's head.

"If you were the captain, what would you want to do?"

Sailu asked.

"Maybe I'll go traveling, not just within the Empire, but also to countries outside the Empire. When justice needs me, I'll show up."

"Bringing fire to the masses to keep warm."

Sailu was silent for a moment.

"The captain is the captain. I don't have such awareness."

Hei Tong said softly.

Unconsciously, Hei Tong had grown more respectful towards Sailu.

After the brief answer, there was a long silence.

"Captain, Ye Xi is not dead, right? You let them go."

Hei Tong suddenly said.

Sai Liu was slightly stunned.

"In fact, I can feel that my sister is not dead. It's not because of the flaw left by you, Captain. It's just a hunch."

"Maybe it's my intuition as a sister. If she died, I think I would probably be able to sense it."

Hei Tong said.

"I'll pretend I didn't hear that. I don't want you to say that again next time."

Sailu grabbed Hei Tong's hand.

Then stand up.

"Captain, did I make you angry?" Hei Tong hurriedly chased out and couldn't help asking.

Hei Tong could feel that Sailu was about to leave.

"I'm not angry. If it's just this level, it won't cause any fluctuations in my emotions."

"It's just that it's time for me to leave. Tell the others to go back after they're done washing."

"Don't miss training tomorrow."

Seleu put on his clothes and left.

Kuronetō stood there, watching Sailu slowly disappear into the starry night streets.

Seleu came to Esdeath's residence.

Esdeath's residence is in the core circle of the entire imperial capital, and the houses here are extremely expensive.

But this residence was not bought by Esdeath herself, but a gift from the Empire when she became a general of the Empire.

At her level, money has no meaning to her anymore.

Everyone says that power is a permanent aphrodisiac.

But this may be the case for ordinary people, but Esdeath has never been an ordinary person.

She just likes interesting things, anything that can make her emotions fluctuate.

Esdeath had maids in her house. When Seleu arrived, the maids helped her open the door, and they did not ask about Seleu's identity.

It was as if Esdeath had given them some instructions before this.

Take her to Esdeath's room.

Seleu stared at the maids, who were wearing long fluffy skirts and the same uniform.

They all wore long sleeves, hiding themselves very well.

But in fact, they obviously have a foundation in martial arts. At least as Esdeath's servants, Esdeath has trained them a lot.

Open Esdeath's door.

It was already late at night, but Esdeath had not slept. She was standing on the balcony with her legs crossed, with a glass of red wine on the small round table.

Esdeath was halfway through drinking the wine, but she still felt unsatisfied. She looked at the moon, as if she had to finish the bottle of wine tonight.

"I thought you would come earlier."

Esdeath didn't even turn around.

The location of this balcony overlooks the courtyard, and Esdeath noticed it when Seleucia arrived.

"I originally planned to bring the hunters with me, but Minister Ernest found me halfway."

"A party was held for the hunters."

Sailu said softly.

"Are you having fun?"

Esdeath said calmly.

"It's very different from what I imagined. The hunters don't like it very much. Soldiers are destined to not be able to play with politicians."

“We are in different environments and our perceptions of the world are also different.”

Said Seleu.

"What terms did Ernest offer?"

Esdeath suddenly said.

"For other people, it might be tempting, but for me, to be honest, it doesn't have much appeal."

Sylvie shrugged.

Esdeath was no fool, and Seleu was not at all surprised that she had guessed Ernest's recruitment.

After all, Esdeath herself had done something similar before.

"If no one extends an olive branch to you, it means you are not valuable enough. If you are a worthless person, then it only means that there is something wrong with my vision."

"But it seems that my vision is not bad."

Esdeath took out another cup, poured wine into it and pushed it in front of Seleu.

"In fact, I really hope you can accept Ernest's proposal."

"Why?" Sailuo didn't understand.

"Because then I'll have a good opponent."

Esdeath smiled.

"Is it really possible?"

Sailu joked.

"Of course, I'd still feel frustrated if you did that."

Esdeath also smiled and clinked her cup with Seleu's.

"In the next period of time, that guy will not give up. He can't accept you staying with me again."

"This will make him feel threatened. Originally, his only opponent was General Budd, but if it continues in the current state, you and I together will become the third force."

"Remember to be careful."

Esdeath reminded Seleu.

"I'll pay attention."

Sailu nodded.

"Okay, I'm a little sleepy. You can sleep here too."

Esdeath walked to the bed and lay down with her arms spread out.

Esdeath's sleeping posture was not good, even quite bad. She didn't care about her image at all and patted the bed gently.

Seleu drew the curtains.

At first, Sailu thought there was nothing wrong with sleeping here for a night, and he was too lazy to go back when it was late at night.

Although I think Esdeath’s sleeping posture may not be good, fortunately the bed is big, so there shouldn’t be any problem.

There are other rooms in Esdeath's residence, but Esdeath's invitation was generous after all.

If she refused, it would be very hurtful to her.

But when I woke up the next day.

Seleucia then realized that Esdeath's hands were not honest at all. She always liked to touch others when she slept, and there were usually two pillows on the bed.

Use one as a pillow and hug one.

But since Seleu came, Esdeath took it for granted and used Seleu as her pillow.

Seleucus had a bad night, but Esdeath felt nothing at all.

"Good morning."

When Esdeath woke up, she saw Seleu with his eyes open.

She thought that Sero had just woken up and was greeting him while yawning.

Then get up and look for clothes in the closet.

"Come with me later. It's a good opportunity to visit other members of the hunters. After all, I have to show up."

"What would you like for breakfast? Do you prefer milk or juice?"

Esdeath said.

"Black tea."

Sailu answered.

So Esdeath asked the maid to prepare it.

Seleu looked at the time and thought to herself that it was obviously too late to have breakfast, but since Esdeath was not in a hurry, she had no reason to be in a hurry.

A new day begins quietly.

Esdeath treated Seleu to a sumptuous breakfast.

The two of them didn't talk about work at the dinner table, but instead chatted more.

It was also the first time that Seryuu talked to Esdeath about which new stores had opened in the imperial capital and which stores had the best clothes.

This was the first time that Seleucus spent the night at Esdeath's house, and it was also the first time he got to know what Esdeath was like in private.

Esdeath is not a workaholic, but she is a mature woman.

Even if it is an interesting thing, it is impossible to maintain a high level of concentration every day.

Real life tends to be dull most of the time.

Esdeath will adjust her state according to the current situation.

After eating, Esdeath took Seleucia out shopping.

Yes, shopping.

Sailu had not thought of this, even though it was already past work time.
