Chapter 1930 Convince 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 didn't care about their decision. Still, he was certain that he definitely didn't want it.
The man shrugged his shoulders in response. "I won't deny that. It's just that, at some point, you'll start thinking that you want someone to continue your bloodline. However, I can see that you're still young, so it's normal for you to not care about such things at the moment."
"By the way." Kentucky changed the topic. "I still don't know your name. You can call me Kentucky if you want."
"Kentucky?" The man found his name quite hilarious. "That's not a name you hear every day for a Minokawa. Anyways, I'm Jeskli-go."
"Jeskli-go? Do I need to make that pause in the middle of the name?" Kentucky also found the guy's name strange.
"Up to you. I don't really care." No doubt, he was definitely a Minokawa, just like Kentucky.
"I'll go for Jeskli then," Kentucky answered. "Go back to my race to cultivate or to impregnate some female Minokawa, huh? Doesn't my race do anything different from the others?"
Jeskli-go looked at Kentucky like he was an idiot. "We're 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. "We're 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 couldn't be more different. We stay in our corner without bothering others or ourselves, and we'd still be fine. For us, that's perfect as it is."
"Such a lack of unity..." Kentucky couldn't help but mention it.
"What are you talking about?" Jeskli didn't agree with Kentucky. "We're united in laziness. If something threatens our lifestyle, I can guarantee that we'll join forces to get rid of it."
After saying that, Jeskli finally got up and prepared to leave. "Yet, it seems like you don't wish to have a lazy life, so you don't really need to come with me if you don't 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 wasn't 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 couldn't 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 doesn't matter how much other Divine Demon Beasts condemn us for this. We couldn't care less. Yet, it doesn't mean that all of us like to live like this. There are some who prefer to seek excitement, although I can't understand them. The Minokawa Race will definitely not get in the way of these guys as long as it doesn't impact the race itself. If you think our kind of life isn't 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 can't 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. 'I do! Actually, I have a question. Do you know about the Regal Bloodlines?'
Jeskli stopped for a moment as he could still feel Placake's Divine Sense. 'Are you talking about that Azure Dragon? Someone of his race should have explained that to you, no?'
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 wouldn't 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. 'Yes, I'm different from normal Minokawas. Still, I need to ask. Do you know anything about my parents?'
Jeskli-go was still shocked by the feeling he had a moment ago when he suddenly remembered something. 'Ploto-Ume and Ratria-ket. You're their lost child. That Regal Minokawa that had disappeared all those years ago. Right, why didn't I think about it? Your age matches the timing, and this weird feeling I had about you should have been obvious.'
Kentucky was surprised to have heard those names for the first time. 'Ploto-Ume, Ume... that was the name my father used to introduce himself. Although he didn't mention the Ploto there.'
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 Race's territory. Getting to him without being noticed would be too difficult.
'I see...' Jeskli-go finally got a picture of the situation. 'Your 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.'
'So, what will you do?' Kentucky asked with a smile. 'Will you try to convince me to go back to the Minokawa Race? That's fine, but you need to tell me what happened to my parents.'
