Chapter 93: Sorry, I Just Want to Open a Shop (1/2)

“Oh hoho…”

The dark purple feathers suddenly vanished, and the view changed abruptly. A magnificent throne slowly emerged in front of Shen Cheng’s eyes.

Shen Cheng looked up, slightly stunned.

He saw a woman with long dark purple hair, wearing a dark purple coat, her face stunningly beautiful, sitting on the throne. On her head were two clusters of dark purple bird feathers. Shen Cheng immediately realized that she must be a Demi-Human with avian traits.

Then Shen Cheng was confused.

No way, did he stumble upon another Demi-Human?

Shen Cheng tried to move his feet forward but found that his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, completely immobile.

An illusion? A dream?

“Do you… crave power?” The woman slowly spoke, her voice like the whisper of a demon, causing Shen Cheng’s mind to momentarily blur.

But Shen Cheng shook his head, clearing the daze, and responded, “No, I just want to open a shop right now.”

The woman slightly curled her lips: “… You don’t have to lie to yourself. Answer me honestly, do you desire to become stronger?”

Shen Cheng scratched the back of his head and said, “But I really just want to open a shop right now. Don’t mess with me, I need a good night’s sleep, I have a lot to do tomorrow.”

The woman’s lips twitched. She was sure that this Shen Cheng definitely wanted to become stronger.

But why… couldn’t she affect him in the slightest?

Could it be that he had no desire to grow stronger, only wanting to open a shop?

Or was it that he just wanted to sleep?

No way, right? At least Qu Zhen was still thinking about avenging his comrades every day. How could Shen Cheng’s desire to become stronger just vanish like that?

Is he really giving up that easily?

“Ahem…” The woman cleared her throat twice and bluntly said, “Come on, tell me your desire. As long as it’s within my power, I will grant it immediately!”

“Hmm…” Hearing this, Shen Cheng looked up, scanning the woman’s long, slender legs, her waist that could be grasped with one hand, her ample chest, and her face that resembled a painting. Finally, he fixed his gaze on… the two clusters of dark purple bird feathers atop her head.

“Can I touch your head?” Shen Cheng frowned slightly and asked, uncertain.

The woman: “???”

Wait, here I am, a beautiful woman sitting in front of you, offering to fulfill your every desire, and you ask to touch my head?

The woman felt like she had met the strongest enemy of her life.

This man’s thought process… was just too bizarre!

I asked if you wanted power, and you said you wanted to open a shop. I asked if you wanted to become stronger, and you said you wanted to sleep. I offered to fulfill any desire, and all you wanted was to touch my head?

The woman felt a slight headache as she rubbed her temples for a while, finally sighing deeply and snapping her fingers.

“Snap!”

With the sound of the snap, Shen Cheng suddenly felt his legs become lighter, and he was able to move again.

Is this… permission?

“Gulp!”

Swallowing hard, Shen Cheng took slow steps forward, reaching out his hand toward the woman’s dark purple hair.

In fact, Shen Cheng had always been curious about how the feathers on the heads of avian Demi-Humans felt.

But unfortunately, the only avian Demi-Human he had met so far was Yu Lan. If he really went and touched Yu Lan’s head…

Thinking of Yan Jinfang getting kicked by a spinning kick, Shen Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly.

As Shen Cheng reached out to touch the top of the woman’s head, the woman also raised her eyes, staring intently at Shen Cheng’s gaze.

Why… couldn’t she plant any seeds of influence in him?

At this moment, Shen Cheng’s hand had already rested on her head, gently stroking.
