The Adventures of the Young Master 231 In One Condition

Jin Rou had already prepared for the worst outcome as he used two techniques at the same time just to clash with each other. He thought that he would, at worst, became immobile and suffered severely. But it seemed that lady luck was with Jin Rou as it only depleted his qi and was very exhausted.

Although he was successful in saving his friends and defending the people outside, he was now completely defenseless in front of his grandmother. She could now do whatever he wanted to do with Jin Rou's state. Of course, Jin Rou would still fight back despite being seriously exhausted this time around. Perhaps, that's his way of saying he did not yet want to come home.

Silence permeated between the two as a wind passed by randomly. Yanlu Rou just looked at Jin Rou with a complicated expression. That's right, she did not know what she should feel at all. But her anger had already subsided.

After a long while of silence, Yanlu Rou decided to speak, "They are just mortals, and even weak at that. Why do you need to take a huge risk just for them?"

She did not understand her grandson's way of thinking. As someone who ruled all the beings of this world, why bother saving this world of mortals when he could just create one after he destroyed it?

"Because they are my friends." Jin Rou honestly answered, "And they are my people."

"Nonsense." Yanlu Rou shook her head, "Jin'er, I know as a child, you need friends. But you can have friends in the Rou Celestial Realm. There are many families who are willing to be friends with you even after before you succeeded in the throne."

"Friends? More like they want to be friends with me in the name of benefits." Jin Rou casually rebutted. Although Jin Rou was still a child, he could see the inner hearts of every being he encountered. And most of those who he met in the past in their realm had very dark inner hearts. But of course, there was also a girl who he had met with a pure white inner heart, but he only met her once and never again.

"..." Yanlu Rou could not help but be rendered speechless by her grandson. She did not want to admit it, but what he said was true. All those who stroke a connection and form a friendship with the Rou Celestial Family was for their own benefit. But isn't it natural in this world where the strong prey the weak?

Hearing no response, Jin Rou decided to continue, "Grandma, I know that you love me, but please let me go and see the worlds myself more."

Truth be told, Jin Rou was still mad with his grandma. After all, who would have thought that she would use his friends as the bargaining chip for him to come back home? Perhaps, if Jin Rou was powerless, he would immediately agree but with reluctance just to save them. But as a Celestial King, he had the power to save them. Of course, it was just at the limit of saving them. Defeating his grandmother? No, that's pretty impossible for the current Jin Rou and he was much aware of that.

As he was very exhausted right now, all he could do was to beg his grandmother in accordance with his will. He did not want to fight with his family any longer as it was making him feel uncomfortable and heavy.

Seeing the pitiful state of her grandson, Yanlu Rou's heart melt. She wanted to rush forward and hug him but after remembering how did this grandson of hers raised his hand against her, she restrained herself from doing so.

But Yanlu Rou was happy because she did not take her husband, Lao Rou, with her. Because if she did, she knew that Jin Rou would be up for a beating.

Yanlu Rou inwardly sighed, she looked helpless and spoke, "Jin'er, since you really like to stay here, I will give you permission. But in one condition."

Jin Rou's heart almost jumped from joy. However, when he heard the words 'but in one condition', he immediately calmed down, "What is it, Grandma?"

"Do you remember the Su Celestial Family of the Colossal State Universe?" Yanlu Rou asked Jin Rou.

"Su Celestial Family?" Jin Rou recalled the name, "Yes. They are our ally, right?"

The Su Celestial Family had the same standing as the Rou Celestial Family as they were also ruling an entire universe paralleled to the Rou's. But unlike the Rou's True State Universe which has a few worlds, the Colossal State Universe contained three thousand worlds! Of course, it did not mean that the Rou's were weak compared to the Su's.

"That's right. The Su Celestial Family is our ally." Yanlu Rou smiled, "A month ago, the Su's envoy had come into our Celestial Mansion in order to deliver a message from the Su Celestial Family. It said that they wanted to visit our abode to discuss the matters regarding of deepening the alliance between the Rou and Su."

"Then do Grandma want me, as the Celestial King, to be there when they come?" Jin Rou asked. It was reasonable. The Celestial King should be present when receiving the guests from another universe as a sign of respect.

"My Jin'er is quick-witted." Yanlu Rou clasped her delicate white hands, "That's right. I want Jin'er to be there as well. Although the Su had not said when they will come, I will immediately send a message to you when they did. Thus, whatever you are doing, you have to leave it there and be at the mansion right away. If you agree with my terms, then I will let you do whatever you want to do."

"Alright, I agree." Jin Rou responded quickly. Compared to his freedom, this condition did not weigh much at all.

"Then since my cute grandson has already agreed, I have to leave now." Yanlu Rou said as she smiled, "Be sure to take of yourself, Jin'er."

She really wanted to hug and caress Jin Rou's beautiful hair first before leaving. However, she still bore a bit grudge. Besides, the situation was awkward. She was planning to let his grandson pay when he came back to their realm. When she stated the condition, she left out an important part, which was why Jin Rou immediately agreed. If only he knew that, he would immediately decline.

"Take care of yourself too, Grandma." And I'm sorry. Jin Rou wanted to say the last three words, but the words were stuck in his throat for some unknown reason.

Soon, a gate made of ice appeared in front of Yanlu Rou. She smiled warmly at Jin Rou, and turned her back towards him, entering the gate. But before she could fully enter the gate, her beautiful eyes flashed with a scheming smile on her face.

After his grandma left, Jin Rou immediately rushed towards his friends and check them. After checking them, he sighed in relief, "Thank goodness, they are well and will just be unconscious for a while. But thanks to Yuna, the effect inside the space barrier had brought less restraint to their minds."

Next, he put a protective barrier with soothing oxygen in order for them to breathe comfortably and aid them with their recovery and put another 10 consecutive barriers in order to ensure their security. Then, he left a message written beside Yuna Sierra and took off.

After all, he still needed to come back to Grivexia in order to fulfill a promise regarding Owner Bu.
