Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 724 - 92 Leisurely Life_2

She gritted her teeth in anger, "Don't push it too far!"

"Okay. I'll just lie down for a bit. So, what's your dream?"

"Does your back not hurt anymore?" Rose glared at Lin Rui, who was enjoying himself with his eyes half-closed.

"It hurts. That's why I'm asking you to sit here while I lie down and replenish my energy. Of course, if you could give me a massage, that would be even better."

"In your dreams!"

Lin Rui shook his head helplessly and said, "You see, that's why you haven't had a partner in over a thousand years. If I asked my girlfriend, she'd be thrilled to ride on me and give me a massage."

"I don't crave things gained by pleasing a man."

"How can that be called pleasing? That's called expressing love. Like if you had back pain, I'd definitely help massage it."

Rose laughed in exasperation, "You'd be more than happy to massage a beauty's back!"

"Don't make it sound like I'm desperate and would do anything. Out of all the elves, except for you, I wouldn't massage anyone else's back!"

Hearing this, Rose's heart was finally touched.

Women, they always wish to be the one special person in the world.

Being nice to a woman, that's completely useless. Outside of a faithful dog being self-moved, it's meaningless.

But if you let her feel she is the favored one, the unique in your entire world, even if you're incapable and broke, she'd love you madly.

Of course, this favoring has to feel real, or at least make her believe it.

And Rose clearly had no way to doubt Lin Rui's words.

Of course, she could see that Lin Rui had a proud personality; in the Elf World, aside from being close to her, he disdained everyone else.

Even if a beauty stood in front of him, he wouldn't go and massage her back. After all, he truly wasn't lacking women around him.

"With our relationship, helping me with a back massage is quite natural, isn't it? Comforting a close friend and comrade after a fierce battle, how can that be called trying to please? That's called affection!"

Rose directly pressed her hands onto his back and started massaging begrudgingly, "You always come up with all sorts of absurd ideas! Today I agree to help with your back, and in a few days, you'll dare ask for help with other uncomfortable areas!"

"Would you help then?" Lin Rui indulged in the gradually easing pressure from her hands.

"I would!" Rose gritted her teeth, "I'd help you get rid of it once and for all! So you won't be troubled anymore by it and have no more discomfort."

"No way! Then I'd have no fun left in life! Are you helping, or depriving me of my life and freedom?"

Rose sneered, "Your head's filled with nonsense, is that all you pursue in life?"

"If not? Should I be like your Empress, with ambitions for the world? I don't have such a broad mind. Ouch! Pain, pain, ease up!"

"Serves you right for speaking so recklessly, daring to disrespect the Empress."

"I was clearly talking about something normal, you're the one who took it the wrong way!"

Rose snorted lightly, "I know perfectly well what's running through that nonsense-filled head of yours."

"Alright, whatever you say. After all, you're massaging my back. So what about you, what's your pursuit?"

"My pursuit?" Rose thought seriously for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I don't know. I just want the Elf Imperial Court to thrive through the ages, for the Mother World Tree to always be healthy, and for the people around me to always be here."

"Tsk. I thought your pursuit would be to help the Empress achieve her grand empire! In the end, in your eyes, the Empress doesn't even have a name." Lin Rui shook his head in admiration.

Rose said naturally, "The Empress is different from us, she will ascend to become a Divine Spirit sooner or later."

"Why? To reunite with the Hero King?"

"Perhaps. But I think the Empress might have even grander ambitions. In any case, she's not content to remain a mortal forever. She will ascend sooner or later."

"You said that." Lin Rui said unhappily, "Why is it that when the Empress ascends to become a Divine Spirit it's ambition and grandeur, but when I'm to become a Divine Spirit, it's just a trivial pursuit? I've just enjoyed the scenery on the journey of life a bit more! What's wrong with that?"

"Give me a break. The Empress becomes a Divine Spirit to better protect us elves. You? If you become a Divine Spirit, it'd probably be to make a move on your Goddess, right? Your motives aren't pure, there's no intention of considering the broader world." Rose wasn't the most insightful, but she had a keen eye for the truth.

Lin Rui didn't get angry, smiling cheekily, "I admit it, I don't have as broad a mind as the Empress, it's you who misinterpreted my meaning."

"Get lost!" Rose directly pushed his head up, "Have you had enough lying down? You've rested, had your back massaged, time to get to serious business!"

Lin Rui spread his hands, saying leisurely, "Serious business? My serious business these days is to lie down and rest."

Rose was momentarily at a loss; so what's the point of her being here then?

Didn't the Star Nebula Sage say he was worthy of the elves' friendship?

So this guy's idea of friendship is sleeping on her lap?

"You... aside from lounging around, do you have anything else to do?"

Lin Rui raised an eyebrow, showing no embarrassment at all, but looked at Rose and said, "Of course. But, are you sure you want to join? Can't you massage my back while I'm resting?"

Rose suddenly felt a rush of shame and anger, understanding what he referred to as the other serious business.

"You jerk, all you do every day is lounge and sleep?"

"Didn't I ask you to massage my back in between?"

Rose kicked him away from herself, "What do you take me for? Some blue pill to restore your energy?"

"See, you're always thinking wildly." Lin Rui dusted off his pants, "In fact, your role is extremely important, outside of my greatest joy in life, it's you! Yet you belittle yourself like this."

Rose blushed and said through gritted teeth, "Oh, thank you very much! But I don't need it. I've seen through you, with your silver tongue, you're just trying to fool me."

Lin Rui shrugged and said, "There's no help then. I have my own interests and hobbies. You can participate in my greatest life joy, it's you who doesn't want to. You aren't satisfied when I look for you outside of my joy. Can't expect me to give up everything and just stare at you all the time, right?"

Rose was annoyed, "Oh! So in the end, it's my fault for not accompanying you? I have no interest in indulging in your nonsense-filled activities!"

"Alright then. So, are you leaving?"

"I!" Rose glared at him, turned away in anger, saying, "Go enjoy your fun then! You men, do you die if you don't do this kind of thing?"

"No, we won't. After enjoying, we're going to stroll the Elf Market, do you want to join?"

Rose ignored him and went on her way.

Why should she wait until he had indulged himself with other women and then accompany him to view the forest?

Was she his eunuch or maid?

The more Rose thought about it, the angrier she felt, nearly exploding with rage.

So how did she end up dating such a scumbag?

Unable to contain her anger, she turned back to Lin Rui and said, "Go with whoever you want! I'm not going! You bastard."

Lin Rui looked confused, "If you don't want to go, then don't. Just introduce somewhere suitable! In the afternoon, when we have leisure time, we'll take a stroll. See what specialties you elves have, do some trade."
