Chapter 833! People always like to compromise
(Ciri)
……
Opening her mouth and letting go of Shen Ye's shoulders, the white-haired girl took a step back and looked at him in shock: "You...you can speak our language?"
Shen Ye did not answer, but just pulled open his collar to take a look at the bitten area. After finding the two rows of shallow teeth marks on his shoulder, he immediately said unhappily: "Nonsense, how else would you understand? And, you are quite ruthless!"
His body was now so strong that even a bullet couldn't penetrate his skin, but he didn't expect that he would actually leave a bite mark on it from the white-haired girl... Ciri. It was simply cruel.
So, is the Ancient Blood so powerful?
He had already guessed the identity of the white-haired girl, a character from the demon hunter world, a girl with ancient blood.
That's because I got so angry... Xili was embarrassed to say that, and then she imitated Shen Ye's tone and said: "Nonsense, we are fighting, didn't your teacher teach you not to show mercy to the enemy? And, how on earth do you know our language?"
Rubbing his shoulder, letting go of his collar, and patting the bitten area, Shen Ye continued: "If I hadn't shown mercy, you would have died a long time ago... Want to know? Just guess."
"I can teleport and perform magic. You can't catch me, so you can't kill me... I guess you are from our side, right?" The white-haired girl looked at Shen Ye's appearance carefully, nodded first, as if praising him, and then shook her head, because with her experience, she had never seen a person with black hair and black eyes.
"Teleportation, magic, if it really worked for me, you wouldn't have bitten me out of anger. Besides... damn, this way of talking is so tiring. Let me put it this way, I'm not from your place, but I can speak your language. As for why? Keep guessing!" Shen Ye was also looking at the white-haired girl, but the teenage girl hadn't fully grown up yet, and she had nothing.
"No, I'm too lazy to guess, but I will know sooner or later. I have the ability to predict..." The white-haired girl waved her hand lazily, then put the steel sword back into the scabbard on her back, and then suddenly raised her chin towards Shen Ye, showing a familiar and generous look: "My name is Ciri, my full name is Ciriya Fiona Allen Li'anlun... It's very long, so people usually call me Ciri, what about you? And where is this place? Why do people here treat me with hostility when they meet me?"
As a woman with special abilities of her own, Ciri is very adaptable and her attention is soon diverted.
Because you are beautiful... Shen Ye thought, and then he said: "Shen Ye, you can just call me Shen. As for where this place is, this is Night City, a...how to describe it, a city full of risks. As you just saw, the laws here are basically ineffective, and violence can be seen everywhere, robbery, murder, rape... In short, you have to be careful here at all times."
"You have just seen my strength. I don't take a few petty thieves seriously, unless there are guys who are more powerful than you. However..." Ciri seemed to be used to answering first and then asking questions. She continued: "But doesn't your lord care? It's already in such a mess."
"The lords here are big companies, and they are the reason why this place has become like this." Shen Ye shrugged and continued: "But speaking of it, except for me, there is really no one here who can be your opponent."
"Then I feel relieved." Xili breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "If there are more guys like you, I will leave immediately."
"You're not leaving now?" Although Shen Ye was very interested in Ciri, he remembered that Ciri didn't stay in the cyberpunk world for long before leaving.
"Don't worry, I'm just stealing... well, I'm traveling, so I can just take a look around." Xili was not shy at all. She was very brave after receiving a complicated education. She patted Shen Ye's shoulder, but Shen Ye was much taller than her, so she had to stand on tiptoe. Then she said, "I think you're a nice person, and you can speak our language. How about being my guide and taking me around?"
"It's not impossible to take a look around, but if you hire me as a guide, you have to pay something, right?" Shen Ye raised one hand and rubbed his index finger and thumb together: "I'm not doing it for free."
Born in a world where gold and silver are the main currencies, Xili didn't quite understand Shen Ye's actions, but she still understood what he said. She first felt all over her body, then simply spread her hands and said, "I don't have any money."
"Forget it if I don't have money." Shen Ye turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing Shen Ye being so straightforward, Xili was stunned for a moment, then immediately grabbed his arm and said: "Don't, I can use something as collateral."
Shen Ye turned around, with a smile in his eyes, and said: "What do you plan to use as collateral?"
Ciri immediately took out her steel sword and handed it to him: "Use this."
Shen Ye took the steel sword and shook it in his hand for a few times. It felt very heavy, but he still shook his head and said, "What we have the most here is steel... The sword behind you seems to be made of silver, so take it."
As he spoke, without waiting for Ciri to react, Shen Ye directly took away the silver sword behind Ciri, and then put it into the system space together with the steel sword.
Looking at the two swords disappearing in Shen Ye's hands, Xili was a little dumbfounded. It took her a long time to come back to her senses and said angrily: "Didn't we agree that we only wanted the silver sword? Give me back the steel sword."
She seemed to have forgotten that she didn't want to give the silver sword in the first place, but now that both swords were gone, her bottom line was lowered.
After all, people like to compromise.
"I told you that steel is not valuable here..."
"But it's worth tens of kronor to us!" Ciri said anxiously: "Give it back to me."
"I'll give it back to you later."
"I want it now. I also need it for self-defense."
"You don't know how to use magic?"
"How can magic be as fun as chopping people with a sword?"
"That makes sense, but I still can't give it back to you."
"How could you do this..."
Not long after, Ciri came out of the path, holding her steel sword tightly, glaring at Shen Ye while following him closely.
"where are we going?"
"Want to go for a drink?"
"Okay!" Ciri nodded excitedly, and then said vigilantly: "I have already given you my silver sword, you can't ask me for money again!"
"Don't worry, I'll pay for the drinks." Shen Ye said helplessly. It seemed that he had gone a little too far in teasing the girl.
but……
Ciri is only a teenager and is far from being as rational and mature as she will be when she grows up. It is really fun to tease her.
