Defeated...
Lai Mingjie didn't like being defeated, yes; but why would he trust the dragons to guard his back? Yes, he's grateful to Chartreuse to an extent, but he wouldn't put his life in her hands. He just sighed and looked out the glass wall. "If you want me to rely on you, you have to prove yourself. Rou is inside Nuwa's core. If you get him out of there, I'll work with you."
Chartreuse's eyes flashed with a strange gleam as she heard... what she wanted to hear. She only curled her lips and remained silent.
The demon king noticed the strange smile on her lips when he spoke. If anything, shouldn't she be surprised or appalled at least? Being in Nuwa's core was a very scary experience. Then again, she's from the divine race; she might have a different opinion about it. Should he listen to her further?
