BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1117: Ladies Talk Goes to South
Zowen licked her finger as she finished her second plate, "While you hold your brother in high regard, I think your brother is just a stepping stone for Tang Shaoyang. Your brother means level, and the reason he wants to lure your brother to save you is to raise his level, nothing more. So, yeah, better you persuade your family to give him what he wants if you want to protect your brother."
What Zowen said interested Lulu, casting a curious look at the blue-haired girl, "Don\'t you worry about Sir Tang? Even though my brother just reached Demi-God Rank recently, my brother is still Demi-God Rank, three ranks above Sir Tang."
Lulu was surprised that Zowen smiled at her, shaking her head, "I am a little worried, but as I said, your brother meets his worst opponent yet. Not because I underestimated your brother, but because your brother could not kill him."
After saying that, Zowen stood up from the seat and showed her an empty plate. She wanted to get more food for breakfast, leaving Rosalie alone with Lulu. The atmosphere immediately turned awkward as soon as Zowen left the table. Rosalie was not as kind as Zowen, giving Lulu the cold shoulder considering what her family had done to Tang Shaoyang.
Lulu decided to not speak since the opposite party did not want to talk with her. Her mind filled with Zowen\'s words. It was hard to see how confident Zowen was in Tang Shaoyang to fight her brother despite the rank gap between the two. That made her worried a little bit.
There was no exchange between the two until Zowen returned to the table with two plates in her hand and broke the ice, "You guys are so awkward."
"How are you supposed to have a conversation with someone you don\'t know," Rosalie rolled her eyes, enjoying her food slowly. "Also, aren\'t you overly friendly with her? Technically she is our enemy."
Zowen shook her head and replied after swallowing the food in her mouth, "But she is innocent, no? We can\'t fault her for her family\'s decision. It\'s not like she tried to harm him."
"It might be too early, but the conflict can\'t be resolved. Her family would be our enemy, and she has no choice but to be our enemy." Rosalie replied flatly as if it was no big deal making enemies of the Mistovel Family.
"Then I will say she is our potential enemy but not our enemy yet," Zowen smiled.
"It does not change the fact I don\'t know her, and it\'s normal not to talk with someone you don\'t know,"
"Alright, you win," Zowen shrugged, changing his attention to Lulu, "I am interested in her because she is also a mage, like me. And I am interested in the Dragon Magic you use."
She had her hidden intention, being friendly with Lulu. She was interested in Dragon Magic. As someone who dabbled in magic research for hundreds of years, she wanted to research Dragon Magic. Something she could not get when she was alive. Tang Shaoyang had a dragon and dragon bloodline, but he did not use the Dragon Magic. Lulu was her chance to delve deeper into Dragon Magic.
"Figure it out if you want something from her," Rosalie shook her head.
"In my world, I am a magus, but I guess it is different now. I am just an Ancient Rank mage now," Zowen smiled. At the same time, she finished the third plate of breakfast, "I want to know more about dragon magic. I know it makes your spell stronger, but I want to know more than that. Let\'s start from the foundation. Can anyone use dragon magic?"
Lulu narrowed her eyes, realizing that the blue-haired lady approached with a hidden intention. She was not sure if she wanted to share her knowledge with the blue-haired lady. As the blue-haired lady said, they were potential enemies, and her knowledge might be used against her family in the future.
"I am sorry, lady. I don\'t think I want to share my knowledge with you unless the conflict between Sir Tang and my Family is resolved. As you said early, we are potential enemies, and you may use my knowledge against my family. While I don\'t want the conflict to prolong, I also don\'t want to be the culprit that will lead my family to ruin." Lulu decided to be direct and bluntly refused to share her knowledge.
She also explained why she did not want to share her knowledge to avoid drawing the blue-haired lady\'s ire on her during her stay here. She wished the blue-haired lady would understand her position, and of course, she was quite smart to hint the blue-haired lady to talk for her to Tang Shaoyang to make peace with her family. That way, she and her half-brother would be returned, and she could share her knowledge with ease.
"I see," Zowen smiled, nodding in response, "You are quite smart, heh. Unfortunately, I can\'t help you with that, and you ask the wrong person. He may listen to her, though." She pointed at Rosalie.
"I intend to ask you nicely, and we can do research together if there\'s anything we can do to improve the Dragon Magic. However, you try to use me for your gain, huh?" Zowen\'s smile disappeared, "I hate the most when someone tries to use me. Experiencing it myself, I will not repeat the same mistake even though you mean no harm to me."
The atmosphere shifted instantly from friendly to tense. Zowen stared at the shocked Lulu, "Tang Shaoyang said he does not care whether you are alive or dead, right? You are just bait, and your brother will come even if you die to avenge you."
Lightning burst out from Zowen\'s hand. In the next second, tendrils of lightning shot toward the stunned Lulu. The latter was caught off guard, not expecting she would be attacked. They had just had a friendly conversation a few minutes ago, but she realized that her scheme to exchange her freedom with the knowledge unknowingly touched the blue-haired lady\'s reverse scales.
