"You can do anything?" Zhou Wen sized up Liz and Lim and asked thoughtfully.
Liz and Lim trembled as their faces turned even redder. Their bodies trembled as they lowered their heads and said, "It's our honor to be able to sacrifice ourselves for His Majesty."
Before the two of them came, the City Lord had already instructed them many things. It was precisely because of the many instructions that they had so many thoughts.
"His Majesty is the king of the Lost Paradise. If we can give birth to His Majesty's children, we will be able to break through the shackles of the human body and allow our descendants to reach the Mythical stage. They will be able to fight those Godfiends and will no longer be pure meat. Whether our race can control its fate in our own hands in the future will depend on you … "
Thinking of the City Lord's heavy tone, Liz and Lim couldn't help but grit their teeth. Although they were still afraid, they still puffed out their chests and fearfully showed their beautiful side to Zhou Wen.
"If I asked you to die, would you be willing?" Zhou Wen asked.
He could only return with the help of the Rubik's Cube, but he needed four people to enter it. Zhou Wen needed three more people, and he was worried that he couldn't find anyone.
When Liz and Lim heard that, tears welled up in their eyes as they were extremely afraid. His Majesty is an omniscient existence. How can our schemes deceive him?
"His Majesty, we were wrong. It's all our fault. It has nothing to do with our clansmen. If you want to punish us, punish us. It's fine even if you want our lives," Liz and Lim said as they knelt on the ground, trembling.
"What did you do wrong?" Zhou Wen asked.
"We shouldn't … We shouldn't have wanted … wanted …" Liz said a few things, but she couldn't say them.
"Wanted what?" Zhou Wen asked with a frown. He thought that the people of Regretless City wanted to secretly harm him.
Zhou Wen was clearly overthinking things. The people of Regretless City revered the Demon King like a god, so how could they dare to harm him?
"We shouldn't have wanted to borrow your seed …" Lim said through gritted teeth.
Thankfully, Zhou Wen hadn't drunk any water; otherwise, he would've choked to death. He widened his eyes as he looked at the kneeling Liz and Lim, unable to believe his ears.
Zhou Wen even thought that he had heard wrongly. He wanted them to repeat it, but on second thought, it was impossible for him to have heard wrongly. It was useless to repeat it again. It would only make him more embarrassed.
"Since you know you're in the wrong, tell me. How should I punish you?" Zhou Wen deliberately asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, please forgive our clansmen. We're willing to commit suicide." Liz and Lim's expressions were filled with determination. They took out their short swords and were about to end their lives.
"Did I say I wanted you to die?" Zhou Wen's indifferent voice sounded. Liz and Liam looked at Zhou Wen in bewilderment, unsure of what he meant.
Now, they only felt that this Demon King was temperamental. They simply couldn't use human thinking to understand his behavior, and their hearts became more and more fearful.
"From now on, your lives no longer belong to you," Zhou Wen said to them.
"Yes, our lives belong to you, Your Majesty." Liz and Lim immediately knelt down.
"Get up. Prepare some food and clean up this place." Zhou Wen kept them alive because he wanted to use them when he entered the Rubik's Cube in the future. He didn't need them for the time being.
However, Zhou Wen was very curious about what they ate. It was a good opportunity to try it.
Liz and Lim felt as though they had been pardoned as they left the cemetery gratefully.
When they returned and told the City Lord about the matter, the City Lord and the others turned pale from fright and nearly peed their pants. They only calmed down when they heard the end.
"Your Majesty is indeed an omniscient existence. How can you not know my schemes? I nearly harmed the entire city … Thankfully, Your Majesty gave us a chance … Liz, Lim … Prepare the best food in our city. No matter what, we have to satisfy Your Majesty …" After the elder said that, he felt worried. He personally made the preparations and did the best in all the details. Finally, he handed the finished product to Liz and Lim and got them to send the food into the cemetery.
Zhou Wen was grinding when he saw each of them carry a basin in. The basin was filled with clear water, and there were a few crystalline green leaves soaking in the water.
"Your Majesty, please have your meal." Liz and Lim knelt in front of Zhou Wen and raised the two basins above their heads.
"Are these leaves delicious?" Zhou Wen was puzzled, but he still reached out to take a leaf and placed it in his mouth. He took a bite.
With just one bite, Zhou Wen frowned. Although the leaves didn't taste bad, they definitely weren't delicious either. They tasted about the same as the lettuce leaves on Earth.
Zhou Wen didn't like Western food, nor did he like raw lettuce. He looked at the two sisters and asked, "Do you usually eat this?"
"Your Majesty, this is the precious leaf of emerald grass. It's a very rare and delicious food. It's very rare to find it, and it's impossible for ordinary people to eat it. Only during celebrations and sacrifices will everyone share a little …" Liz answered.
"Then what do you usually eat?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"Usually, we eat the roots of stone grass," Liz answered.
"Go get some of the roots of stone grass." Zhou Wen couldn't imagine that such leaves that resembled lettuce would be a precious food in their mouths. How terrible would the food they usually ate be?
The two sisters were terrified, thinking that Zhou Wen wasn't satisfied with their hospitality and wanted to beg for mercy.
Zhou Wen repeatedly said that he didn't blame them and got them to bring the roots of the stone grass over. Only then did they leave in doubt.
When they brought the roots of the stone grass over, Zhou Wen took a look. It looked pretty good. The roots were jade-white and as thick as a finger. The segments were rather beautiful.
However, when Zhou Wen bit it, he immediately felt a bitter juice flow into his mouth.
"Is this thing for humans to eat?" Zhou Wen suspected that the people of Regretless City were messing with him. How could something that was even more bitter than bitter gourd be food they usually ate?
However, Zhou Wen used Truth Listener to scan it and knew that they weren't lying. Most people in Regretless City who were eating were like this.
Looking at the trembling sisters, Zhou Wen sighed inwardly. These people in Regretless City are even more miserable than the people on Earth.
On Earth, humans had stood at the top of the food chain for thousands of years. At the very least, they had enjoyed it. However, these people were at the bottom of the food chain in the dimension. Ignoring enjoyment, it was impossible for them to even eat meat. Any dimensional creature was at the Mythical stage. Who could they kill?
"This is for you." Zhou Wen took out two pieces of bread and threw them at the sisters.
