"My Lady, he's coming!" the mutant exclaimed excitedly as he sensed Ricky's arrival.
"Of course, I knew he would," Queenie replied confidently, as the corners of her lips curled up in a
smile.
Soon after doing what he was told, the mutant hid again.
That was because the mutant didn't want Ricky to see him.
Meanwhile, a Nether Manor disciple led Ricky in their arrival at the hall.
Needless to say, the Nether Manor disciples were really angry with Ricky. However, there was nothing
they could do but obey Queenie's orders. In the end, they managed to treat Ricky politely and
respectfully, and at least tried to be civil about it.
On the other hand, Ricky was known to have a strong mind and consciousness, but at that moment, he
could not help but feel astonished by the fascinating beauty of this attractive woman in the hall.
Luckily, he snapped out of it with the help of his chromatic energy.
'No wonder this woman is unique. She has double bloodlines of both humans and devils. She can be
as noble as a cold saint one second and then turn into an attractive queen of devils the next. Plus, she
seems quite moody. Damn, it's really hard to deal with her, ' Ricky suddenly wondered.
"Well, I just hope you won't be too fascinated by her!" Tina said to him in a jealous tone.
"Don't worry about me, Tina. I'm confident that I can control myself," Ricky replied when he heard
Tina's comment.
"Well, hello there, Mister Ricky.
Mind answering a question for me? Do you think I am beautiful?" Queenie asked Ricky in a whisper
after walking to him charmingly.
"Well, Miss Queenie, what do you really want to say to me? Let's not waste any of our precious time
and get straight to the point!" Ricky said in a serious voice.
If it were any other woman, Ricky might have flirted with her for a while. But it was Queenie who was in
front of him, making Ricky give up the idea of flirting with her entirely because she was shrewd. Now, if
Ricky would flirt with her, he knew that he would definitely lose and would most likely end up falling for
her instead.
Plus, she could do anything she wanted because he was in her territory now.
"Oh, please! How could you be so boring?" Queenie said miserably upon seeing Ricky avoid her
cunning question.
At that moment, Ricky's deflection of Queenie's game made her doubt her own beauty, which had
never occurred before. In fact, any man who had seen her fell for her in an instant, as if she had cast a
spell. However, things were different when it came to Ricky. Her charm didn't work on Ricky but only
stunned him for a moment.
Apart from that, she could not see any evil desire in his eyes at that moment.
"Please state your business. Or I have to leave now," Ricky said sternly.
"Geez, calm down. All right, all right. Let's get straight to the point. I need you to help me do something.
Not now, but in a month," Queenie replied in the same manner.
"I am not obligated to help you. In other words, I won't do anything without something in return," Ricky
said. If someone wanted him to do something for them, then it would only be fair to him if they could
provide him with something corresponding in return.
Being the one and only incredible demi-spiritual emperor in the past several eras, of course, he could
state a high price for the task at hand.
"I never pay anyone who does things for me, in case you didn't know." Queenie refused his idea,
although she knew that Ricky's sentiments actually made sense.
"Oh, My Lady, you can't win over an ace genius by speaking this way!" the mutant who was hiding said
telepathically as it felt helpless at Queenie's remarks.
"Elder, I have never said that I wanted to win him over to my side!" replied Queenie.
"What? But didn't you just say that you needed him to help the human devils?" the mutant asked in
confusion.
"Yes. He will definitely do that as long as I make him admire me," responded Queenie.
At that moment, the mutant realized that Queenie was not going to draw Ricky over to her side.
Instead, she intended him to surrender to her. Such a realization made the mutant feel helpless.
It was afraid that Queenie's plan would be unsuccessful. After all, it had never known people who
dared make an incredible demi-spiritual genius surrender to them.
Feeling powerless, the mutant didn't say anything else. At that moment, it could clearly imagine
Queenie annoyed Ricky.
'I guess I'll try to stop her by then. I can't kill the incredible demi-spiritual emperor, and I can't offend him
either, ' the mutant thought to itself.
As a powerful saint, the mutant knew better than anyone else how terrible a grown incredible demi-
spiritual emperor could be.
"Miss Queenie, I can't find any sincerity in what you are saying," Ricky said simply, shrugging. In fact,
he wasn't annoyed by her words at all.
After all, he never meant to help her, so he didn't bother shed his energy into getting angry.
"Well, then, goodbye!" Ricky said as he waved his hand, intending to leave.
"Ricky, you will regret not helping me!" shouted Queenie.
"Then please make it clear!" Ricky said in an annoyed voice. He hated being threatened, even though
the threat came from an extremely beautiful woman like Queenie.
"It's very simple. If you don't agree to help me do this task, then I will expose the identity of the Evil
Mandragora. When that happens, the powerful warriors on the whole Misty South and even the
powerful warriors on the other three continents will come to you," Queenie threatened Ricky
telepathically.
At that moment, Ricky seemed to be caught off guard, for no one could hear Queenie's threat except
for the both of them.
After hearing this, Ricky seemed to have understood what she meant. His face immediately grew
gloomy.
"There are flowers on the other shore, from which the Mandragoras are growing. There are both holy
Mandragoras and evil Mandragoras..." Queenie continued to talk to him telepathically while staring at
Ricky's gloomy face. At this moment, she sounded like everything was under her thumb.
Just as she expected, even before she finished her words, Ricky interrupted, "I agree!"
He was left with no choice at that moment. He agreed to Queenie's request to protect the Evil
Mandragora's identity from being exposed.
'I can't let the Evil Mandragora show up easily anymore, ' Ricky thought to himself seriously.
"Now, that's more like it. You've made a wise decision, Mister Ricky. You won't suffer losses by working
for such an extremely powerful woman like me," Queenie immediately said with a smirk on her face.
Meanwhile, the hidden mutant seemed to be puzzled by Ricky's reaction. In fact, he didn't know why
Ricky would suddenly change his mind.
'I guess that I don't know her well enough, '
the mutant thought inwardly.
"How did you find out?" Ricky asked Queenie in the same manner.
"Hasn't that saint guardian told you that I have the Black Devil blood power? I can sense any devil's
blood in the world," Queenie replied telepathically.
"Although the Evil Mandragora is not a devil in its true sense, she cultivates the evil spirit, very pure evil
spirit, in fact. Moreover, I know a lot about the Evil Mandragora."
"Okay, I got it!" Ricky replied.
'I didn't know that the Black Devil bloodline could be this powerful!' He could not help but think upon
hearing what Queenie said.
"I can help you do this, but under some conditions: it should not involve harming others," Ricky said.
"And you must make a Martial Arts Oath. I'll help you do the thing you want me to do. But in return, you
must keep the Evil Mandragora's identity to yourself."
"Ha-ha, don't worry about me having a big mouth. And don't worry about harming others. What I want
you to do for me is only related to the force I'm from," Queenie said with a smile.
Soon after, as agreed, she made a Martial Arts Oath.
"Thank you!" Ricky said after hearing Queenie's Martial Arts Oath.
"Oh, you don't need to thank me. For all I know, you must hate me very much as we speak!" Queenie
just smiled and jested.
"Now, let's get on and tell me what I need to do for you," Ricky requested.
At this moment, he was not at all happy with what was happening, especially the fact that he was being
threatened.
