"What a surprise. I didn't expect to see a royal blood here in my palace." The skeleton's voice was cold and deep, "What does the princess have to do in my place?"
The skeleton was truly stumped. After all, this type was he who hated the most! For turning his haven upside down, for making things worse for them who only wanted independency. That family deserved a fate worse than death!
The princess couldn't help but feel the thick killing intent that the skeleton was directing towards her. It made her spine feel cold as a chill was crawling under her skin. It was nerve-wracking feeling, but all she could was stand there. After all, she was in the deep territory of the skeleton. No matter what, she wouldn't be able to escape here unless Jin Rou helped her to do so.
Jin Rou looked at the princess and the skeleton with a smile, "Indeed, this is Shale Prime. The current princess of the imperial family. But I advise you not to put your hatred on her. After all, she is innocent as before those things happened to you, she is not yet existing."
If Shale was born before the incident happened, Jin Rou wouldn't try to help the princess and let the skeleton uphold his grievances. Unfortunately, it wasn't the case as the princess was innocent and didn't know anything of it. Thus, he was helping her right now.
The princess looked at Jin Rou with puzzled expression. She didn't expect that the last man she expected to help her was actually helping her right now. She couldn't help but thought what might be the benefits in it that he was willing to put a word for her?
After hearing this, the skeleton calmed down and retracted his killing intent. The other party was right, the woman was innocent and didn't know anything about what happened. So he shouldn't be unreasonable. Furthermore, he didn't want to offend this young man if it's possible. After all, Jin Rou had the capability to turn this place into ashes with his power!
The princess sighed in relief after crossing the death bridge safely. For a second, she thought that she's going to die here pointlessly.
"Thank you for understanding, King Uranasia." Jin Rou bowed politely. It was a formal etiquette to show respect towards a certain high ranking person.
"No need for the formal gestures." The king waved his skeleton hand yet he was feeling great deep inside. After all, a man of this level had actually shown respect towards him, "Anyway, since you have reached this place, I am giving one item that you want here inside. For the both of you, you can choose one each."
Then, countless treasures appeared surrounding this throne room. They were in a sealing formation of a grid, binding each treasure by one perfect square.
"Pick only one, please." The skeleton pleaded, "This place only let a person take one item, if it's more than that, I'm afraid that I don't know what will happen. After all, no one has yet to dare to do it."
So far, before Jin Rou and the princess, only one has managed to come here. And that person was law-abiding so no problems had occurred.
But this time it was different. Jin Rou was a universal law, he can create the law himself for this palace or he could destroy this place at once. It would be his choice, no matter what. That's why the skeleton pleaded them to follow the rule. He was greatly worried that Jin Rou would push his luck and be a bandit and challenge the entire palace.
If that were to happen, wouldn't Law Anxiu and Jin Rou fight off against each other? In fact, even with Anxiu's power, Jin Rou could still win without breaking so much sweat. Take note, Anxiu was nothing more than an intent right now. He might be a law but his strength was greatly reduced by being just a mere intent.
"Why do you look so worried?" Jin Rou couldn't help but laugh. He knew what the king was thinking and shook his head, "Don't worry, I won't do anything silly. So please be rest assured."
The princess didn't bother with them and was just searching for the fated item here. She had already scanned many treasures yet nothing of them were actually use for her. There were at least ten thousand of items here and she only scanned hundreds, so she wasn't feeling down at all.
Hearing Jin Rou's words, the skeleton heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn't afford to lose this place or else he would die cursing everyone who put him into too much despair.
Jin Rou casually strolled by the sides of the treasures and occasionally looking at them. Even if he wasn't looking, he could identify what kind of item it was. He didn't need to scan it for a few seconds before finding out what it was actually.
After a few hours, Jin Rou had yet to pick an item. It looked like he was thinking hard of what to pick since he probably had many choices.
Jin Rou looked at where the princess was and could see that she had already chosen something. Seeing the item, he creased his brows and said, "Shale, I don't think that item will help you in any way."
"Ah? Why would it be?" The princess was surprised being called by her name and this sudden intrusion about her choice. Nevertheless, she was still willing to hear him out.
"That item is called Box of Algeya. It is used for storing and caring for plant-type beasts. However, yours is a elemental-type beast. If you're thinking that you might think of a way to nurture your pet in that box, let me burst your bubble. It's pretty more than impossible. " Jin Rou said with a serious tone. This woman had been thinking of her choice only to land up to a treasure which would be useless for her.
He didn't know what type of brain this princess had.
