Grand Ancestral Bloodlines-Novel

Chapter 465 What Can You Provide?

Eska felt her soul shudder when she met Ryu's gaze. For some reason, this Connecting Heaven Realm junior made her feel as though she had been seen through completely.

When Eska realized that Ryu was indeed in the Connecting Heaven Realm, she couldn't help but suck in a cold breath. When she had met Ryu barely three years ago, if that, he was still in the Pulse Opening Realm. She couldn't wrap her mind around how he had leapt through so many Realms in such a short time. Just what kind of monster was he?

Even though the Connecting Heaven Realm was worthless before a Sky God like her, this didn't mean she had forgotten how long it should have taken to clear to this stage. Even for her, she had already been over a hundred years old.

Of course, her best talent was in her soul and not her Qi Realm cultivation, but that didn't mean she wasn't still an absolute genius in this regard. Yet, compared to Ryu, she felt like nothing more than an ant.

Taking a deep breath, Eska adjusted herself, It was unknown when Ryu would return to this library. In addition, he currently seemed troubled by something. Although Eska knew that for such a stubborn person, trying to take advantage of their weakness would only push them further away, Eska had no choice.

If things really continued like this, her Clan would be finished and the Zu name would disappear in the annals of history, never to recover.

"I know that we have wronged you." Eska admitted plainly. "It was unseemly for elders like ourselves to go to such lengths to deal with a child. For that, I apologize. However, I hope that you can see from this how desperate we are.

"I, as an Ancestor of the Zu Clan, have a responsibility toward ensuring that it survives. As such, I was willing to take on the blemish that would come with the actions that I have taken.

"Even though it is shameless, now that I have failed, I ask that you give us just one chance. Though our talent cannot be compared to your own, we are still four Sky Gods with countless lifetimes worth of knowledge and information. In addition, with the coming calamity, working together would also be of great help to you and your future.

"We are willing to listen to any demands you might have. As ridiculous as this might sound since you already have our Clan's core treasures in your hands, we will still try our best to fulfill any other demands you might have."

Eska finished her words in a single breath, clenching her teeth after she was done.

She knew well that her words hardly held any weight. It wasn't about whether or not they could truly provide something of value. Maybe Ryu believed that they really could. The issue was whether or not if what they provided was great enough to warrant the risk of putting his life in the hands of these Ancestors again.

From the very beginning, these Ancestors had made their goal clear. They wanted nothing more than to reunite with their family members. In the meantime, killing Ryu would just make everything far more convenient. Maybe to them, Ryu would always be a means to an end. It had to be remembered that the only reason Eska taught Ryu her [Immortal Sakura] in the first place was because she wanted him to lower his guard and not suspect them.

Eska wouldn't blame Ryu for thinking this way again. But, at this moment, she was truly at the end of her rope.

What Eska didn't know, however, was that Ryu didn't care about threats to his life. In fact, he felt that the more threats there were, the stronger he would grow and the faster he would do it. His entire life consisted of throwing himself into situations that might get him killed in the next second.

So, completely outside of Eska's expectations, Ryu spoke his next words evenly and without a care.

"What can you provide me?" He asked coolly.

"Ah…" Eska was caught off guard by the quick response. But, not long after she recovered, sitting up almost like a bolt of lightning. Any slouch to her posture completely vanished.

She was truly an enchanting beauty. Ryu hadn't been lying when he said that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen back then. Of course, he then met Ailsa soon after who managed to match her thanks to her status as a Faerie.

And, though Ryu didn't want to think about it, after millions of years of cultivation, Elena's looks had already been refined to be infinitely close to this level as well though she fell a small ledge short of Ailsa and Eska.

Ryu might have locked his link to Elena away. But, long before that, he had already caught a glimpse of her looks through her soul. With his Origin Flame, it was already etched onto his soul.

Still, at this moment, Ryu couldn't help but feel his blood boil when he looked at Eska's body stretching upward like that. In her quick movements, her large breasts weren't able to keep up, leaving them bouncing within her flowing white dress all to their own.

Ryu was never a shy person. When he met Eska, he was able to ignore her looks easily. But, with his Bloodlines growing ever more powerful and his intimate time with Ailsa being cut short, he had a fire in his belly that had yet to be released.

As such, he wasn't reserved with his gaze in the slightest, causing Eska to realize that her actions just now weren't as elegant as she usually was.

But, rather than being off put by Ryu's unrestrained gaze, she actually felt a light of happiness. The Ryu she knew was nothing more than a block of ice. If he showed this sort of interest now, at least there was a chance to bring some warmth to their relationship. This would make things much more cordial in the future.
