Chapter 152: Chapter 151: Senior, Don't Tell Me You Don't Have Money for Compensation?
The sound of clashing metal grew closer and closer to the door. The little delivery boy at the entrance swallowed hard. Just what kind of hobby could produce such a noise? The next moment, the room door opened. The golden-haired young man stuck half his body out, reached out and took the pizza and Happy Otaku Water from his hands, and finally gave him a smile.
"Sorry, we weren't satisfied with the interior decorating, so we're using our hobbies to do some demolition. My apologies if we scared you."
Just as Aslan finished speaking, a series of curses in Chinese came from behind him.
"Bastard, what did you say?" (In Chinese)
"Aren't you afraid of being exposed, you guy?! You dare to order takeout?!" (In Chinese)
"F*ck! Believe it or not, I'll self-destruct for you to see!" (In Chinese)
The delivery boy didn't understand Chinese, so he had no idea what the girl in the room was cursing about. He could only give an awkward smile, say a very polite "Enjoy your meal," and then turn to leave. However, in the sound of his hurried footsteps, one could still hear a hint of panic, and even a bit of shyness.
Presumably, after this pizza delivery boy left, he would silently remark to himself that the little Eastern chick must be very feisty. But in a way, that was also a kind of kink. The customer is always right; he couldn't say anything about God. But if the little Eastern chick really had some special feelings... The delivery boy took a deep breath and counted his private savings. Alright, it was just a few bucks and some change, not nearly enough for him to go have some fun.
Inside the room, the twin swords in the black-haired girl's hands once again slammed fiercely onto the treasured sword Aslan held. Aslan, in turn, took a slice of pizza from the box with his other hand. A robotic bird flew out quickly from his ring, then changed its form. A mechanical arm thus appeared on Aslan's shoulder. This mechanical arm took the pizza, and Aslan, with its help, ate pizza while using the holy sword in his hand to block the black-haired girl's attacks.
"Hah... hah...!!"
Perhaps it had truly been a long time since she had fought like this, but the black-haired girl really felt that her stamina was failing. After her attack was deflected once again, the girl pulled back a certain distance. The treasured swords were still in her hands, but this time, she was holding her waist with her other hand.
I can't take it anymore.
Although moving her waist around felt much better, right now she had a feeling of lower back pain from overexertion.
Off to the side, Melusine, who had already ordered the Maoxuewang takeout, put down the phone. She then looked at the black-haired girl with an extremely bizarre expression. How can she have a bad back at such a young age? Inconceivable, simply inconceivable! Compared to her, this little black-haired girl was just too young. She, the remnant of the Horizon Dragon, hadn't even reached the age of having a bad back yet. How was it that the girl before her already felt like she should use some secret art to replace her own waist? Were the young people nowadays so fragile? Tsk tsk. As expected, these little girls were nothing to worry about.
"Tired of fighting? If you're tired, sit down and have some pizza and drink some Happy Otaku Water. And by the way, compensate me for the cost of cleaning up this house later. I assume a 'senior' of a long-lived species wouldn't be someone who does something but doesn't take responsibility, right?"
Aslan squatted down and handed a slice of pizza to the black-haired girl, his face still wearing that same smile that made you want to slap him. The black-haired girl gritted her teeth and sheathed her treasured swords. She could see that the guy before her didn't seem to have any malicious intent towards her. It was just that he had seen a senior secretly hiding in the crowd, so he came over to scare her a bit.
This kind of long-lived junior is really asking for a beating!
The black-haired girl snatched a slice of pizza, then took the Happy Otaku Water with her other hand and gulped it down. The refreshing feeling brought by the ice-cold soda instantly made the black-haired girl cast aside all her troubles. She hadn't paid attention to humans for a long time. Could human beverages now bring pleasure even to beings like them? Alright, although humans were annoying, they still had a few good points.
"What are you looking at? Ever seen a fae before?"
Taking a fierce bite of the pizza, the black-haired girl glared at Aslan. "Besides, this is your fault, isn't it? You just had to give me that meaningful smile! You were basically asking for it!"
Aslan's lips curled into a smile, which became even more brilliant. "So, you're saying senior doesn't plan to compensate? These things were indeed destroyed by senior. Se-ni-or~"
Aslan deliberately emphasized the word "senior," and his tone also carried a hint of sincerity. Aslan, of course, knew very well that the girl before him was extremely irritable, but amidst that irritability, there was also a hint of tsundere. At the same time, because she was older, she was very concerned about seniority—the kind of seniority between a senior and a junior, of course. Aslan was only 1500 years old, while this seemingly girlish existence had already lived for over 2300 years. She was 800 years older than him, so calling her "senior" was no problem.
"Could it be that senior isn't the type to shirk responsibility, but is just a little tight on cash?"
The black-haired girl's mouth twitched. So, he was making her choose between being a person who shirks responsibility and being broke? Of course, the latter was less embarrassing. At the very least, this black-haired girl didn't want to ruin her good image as a senior just like that. She had already lost enough face in front of this junior.
Aslan, of course, knew which identity the girl before him would choose, so he took the opportunity to say, "If senior is short on funds, I'm not an unreasonable person. Senior can work to pay off the debt by being my secretary for a while. Don't worry, it's a legitimate secretarial position."
The black-haired girl was stunned for a moment. At the same time, she couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Shameless!
This scoundrel-like behavior was comparable to Emperor Gaozu of Han back in the day! If it weren't for the wrong bloodline, the black-haired girl would have really suspected that the little blond brat before her was a descendant of that rogue.
Coincidentally, the Maoxuewang arrived at this time. After Aslan took the takeout, he very respectfully placed it in front of the girl.
"Of course, room and board are covered during your employment. And besides, the only long-lived species hiding among humans are probably just us and you, senior. We should look out for each other to live better in this society~"
