After his pride was completely defeated, Apas looked even more dejected in the next few days, walking lightly and with a hollow look in his eyes, like a walking corpse that had its soul taken away.
The unruliness and agility that belonged to Princess Medusa in the past disappeared without a trace. She would complete everything Chen Lang asked mechanically, without any unnecessary movements or any emotional ups and downs.
He was silent when he was serving tea and pouring water, his steps were sluggish when he was tidying up the room, and even his breathing was lifeless.
Chen Lang also knew that the news that her sister had defected to her mortal enemy Khufu was a huge blow to her.
After all, it was an act of betrayal of the honor of the clan, not to mention that Khufu was the undead Pharaoh that her Queen Mother hated most.
So at first, he didn't pay too much attention and acquiesced to her depressed look.
But it had been like this for several days in a row. Even the simplest trivial matters, Apas was lifeless, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her. This extreme dullness gradually made Chen Lang feel a little impatient.
The night was getting darker, and in the bedroom on the top floor of Dubai Mage Tower, only a dim wall lamp was lit, making the shadow long.
Apas walked in silently as usual, leaned over and carefully warmed the bedding. After his fingertips touched the warm bedding, he straightened up and prepared to turn around and leave quietly.
But the moment she turned around, her wrist was suddenly grasped by a warm and powerful hand, and an irresistible force pulled her back.
Apas's center of gravity was unstable, and he staggered and fell on the edge of the soft bed. His black hair was scattered, covering most of his face.
She slowly raised her head, a faint hint of confusion finally appeared in her empty eyes, and she looked blankly at Chen Lang in front of her like a dead fish.
Chen Lang looked at her condescendingly, frowning tightly, and his tone was as cold as ice. "I don't mind if you continue to look like you are dead, but if you continue like this and are lifeless in doing things, then you are not even worthy of being my bed-warming maid."
People may be mean, especially men, and they are even meaner in this regard. Chen Lang thought to himself.
He couldn't say that he didn't like Apas's undisciplined and proud little look, and he even found that lively resistance very interesting, so he thought of beating her and polishing her edges.
But after her pride was completely crushed and she looked like what she is now, Chen Lang realized that he actually liked her more who was stubborn and dared to talk back to him.
What is the difference between Apas, who is obedient and has no emotional fluctuations like this now, and those pink skeletons who are at the mercy of others and have no soul?
Without her freshness and unruliness, it would make people less interested.
"Am I not becoming what you want me to be?" Apas moved his lips slightly when he heard Chen Lang's words. His voice was so plain that it was neither sad nor happy, like a silent pool of stagnant water, and no emotion could be heard.
"What the hell..." Chen Lang was almost choked by these words, and the impatience in his heart was mixed with a trace of inexplicable irritability.
He was not a good-tempered person to begin with, and Apas's submissive but lifeless look made him more irritated than his previous rebelliousness.
But in the end, he still suppressed the vulgar words that came to his lips. His tone suddenly changed, and he asked with a bit of scrutiny, "It seems that you are enjoying your current life?"
Apas frowned slightly, a trace of confusion flashed in his purple eyes, obviously confused as to why Chen Lang suddenly changed his attitude.
But she didn't refute, she just lowered her eyes silently, her long eyelashes casting a shadow under her eyes.
Enjoy?
How could she enjoy it?
When she learned that her two sisters had abandoned the honor of the Medusa family and were willing to surrender to the Queen Mother's most hated undead spirit, Pharaoh Khufu, her heart was filled with overwhelming anger and humiliation!
It is the pain of having the pride engraved in the blood trampled on, and the despair caused by the betrayal of loved ones.
But unfortunately, she was unable to change anything, let alone take back everything that belonged to her.
Not to mention that her two sisters are very powerful. They each control the power of the two great empires of snake and scorpion. They have countless Demon Clan tribes under their command, and Khufu, the self-proclaimed Underworld God Emperor-level powerhouse, is not something she can compete with.
She was born too late and has no foundation in the Medusa ethnic group. She has neither enough strength nor loyalty to her own forces.
Now he seeks protection from Chen Lang and has become his vassal. He is even more isolated and helpless, and he is not even qualified to take revenge and regain his power.
It is this deep-seated despair and powerlessness that made Apas become such a walking zombie recently.
Apas remained silent without any response.
Chen Lang looked at her but didn't say anything.
The two just stared at each other for a long time before Apas said, "I want to become stronger, become stronger, can you... help me?"
She didn't want to sink like this, but she had no foundation and no help.
But Bingxue was smart, and when she saw Chen Lang being angry today, she suddenly felt that there might be a chance.
"I can help you, but why should I help you?" Chen Lang asked.
Apas was silent for a while, and then said, "With your current status, it shouldn't be difficult to find a vessel that can contract with me."
She seems to be risking her life...
Apas knew very well that Chen Lang had never trusted him.
In fact, she could tell that he didn't trust anyone at all.
At least, from the contact to now, she can feel that Chen Lang does not have 100% trust in anyone among Dubai.
If there is anything he can trust, it is undoubtedly a contract.
Although Chen Lang is not a mage Summoning System, human wisdom cannot be underestimated.
Summoning Vessel allows the mage to directly possess Contract Beast.
A vessel that can imprint a black dragon may be a rare thing, but for creatures under Emperor, it is not too difficult to imagine.
"Aren't you unwilling to be my contract pet?" Chen Lang said with a raised eyebrow.
For him now, it is not difficult to create such a thing. Even if he is rare, it is nothing to him as a dignified Asian Magic Association top talker.
Apas didn't answer. She didn't want to deny her pride, but now she had no way out.
She was even not sure whether Chen Lang would abandon her that day...
This is why, even though it was a slap in the face to her, she brought it up on her own initiative.
"Forget it, if you don't want to say anything, just go back and rest. I'll pay attention to it later." Chen Lang waved his hand and said.
Although Chen Lang didn't give any answer, he was excited in his heart. Apas didn't expose it, turned around and left here.
If possible, she naturally doesn't want to be restrained.
But she absolutely cannot allow Scorpion Empire to become Khufu's dog...
