Death… And Me

Chapter 1930 Convince Me?

Kentucky never thought about having a family to start with. ”Ehhhh? That seems extremely annoying.” So what if Roan decided he wanted to start one? What if Rean did the same? He didnʼt care about their decision. Still, he was certain that he definitely didnʼt want it.

The man shrugged his shoulders in response. ”I wonʼt deny that. Itʼs just that, at some point, youʼll start thinking that you want someone to continue your bloodline. However, I can see that youʼre still young, so itʼs normal for you to not care about such things at the moment.”

”By the way.” Kentucky changed the topic. ”I still donʼt know your name. You can call me Kentucky if you want.”

”Kentucky?” The man found his name quite hilarious. ”Thatʼs not a name you hear every day for a Minokawa. Anyways, Iʼm Jeskli-go.”

”Jeskli-go? Do I need to make that pause in the middle of the name?” Kentucky also found the guyʼs name strange.

”Up to you. I donʼt really care.” No doubt, he was definitely a Minokawa, just like Kentucky.

”Iʼll go for Jeskli then,” Kentucky answered. ”Go back to my race to cultivate or to impregnate some female Minokawa, huh? Doesnʼt my race do anything different from the others?”

Jeskli-go looked at Kentucky like he was an idiot. ”Weʼre strong. We have powerful offensive and defensive abilities. We have very good control over Spatial Power. Not to mention that we have Divine Bloodlines. Just by being like this, we can secure a spot between the strong races of the demon beast races. Why would we need to do anything else?”

Jeskli smiled in the end. ”Weʼre already very different the way we are. Or do you think there are tons more demon beast races out there that are as strong and lazy as us? We couldnʼt be more different. We stay in our corner without bothering others or ourselves, and weʼd still be fine. For us, thatʼs perfect as it is.”

”Such a lack of unity...” Kentucky couldnʼt help but mention it.

”What are you talking about?” Jeskli didnʼt agree with Kentucky. ”Weʼre united in laziness. If something threatens our lifestyle, I can guarantee that weʼll join forces to get rid of it.”

After saying that, Jeskli finally got up and prepared to leave. ”Yet, it seems like you donʼt wish to have a lazy life, so you donʼt really need to come with me if you donʼt want.”

Kentucky was taken aback. That was right. The Minokawas had the kind of life he dreamed about, a life of laziness. That was something he rarely had the chance to experience with the twins. Be it because Roan forced him to train or because the twins were always in danger. Besides, Rean and Roan told him that he wasnʼt bound to them. If he wanted to leave one day, he could simply leave. He was free to do as he wished.

Kentucky opened his mouth, yet nothing came out. He couldnʼt say that he wanted to go with Jeskli and live together with the other Minokawas in the same way.

Jeskli saw that and smiled. ”We are proud of our lifestyle. It doesnʼt matter how much other Divine Demon Beasts condemn us for this. We couldnʼt care less. Yet, it doesnʼt mean that all of us like to live like this. There are some who prefer to seek excitement, although I canʼt understand them. The Minokawa Race will definitely not get in the way of these guys as long as it doesnʼt impact the race itself. If you think our kind of life isnʼt suited for you, then you can simply stay.”

However, Jeskli still decided to ask about something that was bothering him. ”You seem to be slightly different from the other Minokawas, though. I canʼt quite put my finger on it. Do you have anything else to say before I leave?”

Kentucky pondered over it for a bit before laughing out loud. ”Hahaha!” Right after, he asked through Divine Sense. ʼI do! Actually, I have a question. Do you know about the Regal Bloodlines?ʼ

Jeskli stopped for a moment as he could still feel Placakeʼs Divine Sense. ʼAre you talking about that Azure Dragon? Someone of his race should have explained that to you, no?ʼ

Kentucky then got close to Jeskli-go and extended his hand. As for Jeskli, he pondered in silence for a bit and decided to hold it. It wouldnʼt make sense to be afraid of Kentucky with his cultivation.

Yet, the moment he did that, his expression changed. ”You...”

Kentucky had purposely channeled the little Regal Bloodline that he had managed to unseal in his hand, allowing Jeskli to feel it. ʼYes, Iʼm different from normal Minokawas. Still, I need to ask. Do you know anything about my parents?ʼ

Jeskli-go was still shocked by the feeling he had a moment ago when he suddenly remembered something. ʼPloto-Ume and Ratria-ket. Youʼre their lost child. That Regal Minokawa that had disappeared all those years ago. Right, why didnʼt I think about it? Your age matches the timing, and this weird feeling I had about you should have been obvious.ʼ

Kentucky was surprised to have heard those names for the first time. ʼPloto-Ume, Ume... that was the name my father used to introduce himself. Although he didnʼt mention the Ploto there.ʼ

Kentucky saw that Jeskli-go gave up on leaving and used his Divine Sense to explain everything. As Rean mentioned before, the demon beast races would definitely try to protect him if they found out, especially since he was already inside the Dragon Raceʼs territory. Getting to him without being noticed would be too difficult.

ʼI see...ʼ Jeskli-go finally got a picture of the situation. ʼYour father only used part of his name to introduce himself, which was the right decision. It would be better than suddenly someone asking around if they knew anyone called Ploto-Ume. It was to protect you.ʼ

ʼSo, what will you do?ʼ Kentucky asked with a smile. ʼWill you try to convince me to go back to the Minokawa Race? Thatʼs fine, but you need to tell me what happened to my parents.ʼ
