Bab 721: Queen's Proposition

The queen walked over to the brightly lit room and entered. Ning walked behind her and arrived there a moment later.

When he looked around the room, he was shocked. "So many pearls," he said as he looked at them. "Why are they used as decorations?" 

"They are not decorations," the queen said. "They are here to gather spiritual energy from the ocean above and give it to me. I had my leg broken, so I had to bond with a beast that needed an incredible amount of energy before it could heal me. As a result, I had this place made for me alone."

"I see," Ning said as he looked around. "This is a good meditation cave, I'm not gonna lie."

He sat on one of the chairs that didn't seem to fit the room while the queen sat on the massive bed in the middle of the room.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Ning asked.

"I had a few questions," the queen said. "First of all, have you killed anyone before?"
