The girl understood!

Her master, not someone who valued petty gains, but a true transcendent being beyond the world;

How could mere material things move her master? Isn't that underestimating people?

"Disciple knows what master needs. It's unacceptable for you to live in this rural place without any status;

May I ask if master wants to be a duke or a prince? Or let me think of a new title for you?"

Can't control it! Not only his hands, Wang Xiaole can't even control the opening and closing of his mouth.

The bait thrown out by the girl is too tempting;

Wealth, land, titles, all of these are things that many young talents may not be able to obtain even after half a lifetime of struggle;

But now, he has the opportunity to obtain all of them at once, and the price he has to pay is just opening his mouth once.

Just take one step, and he will be rich;

In the future, he will become a great lord, raise a pet, and reach the pinnacle of life in a happy life in another world. These will no longer be problems.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaole is a little excited!

It's time to make a decision:

"Um, Isabella! Regarding the apprenticeship requirements you mentioned, I have thought about it carefully after calming down..."

"I have never been rejected three times in a row by anyone. Master, don't you want to be the first?"

Isabella is full of dignity, no one can deny this;

But whenever Wang Xiaole looks at her now, he has a feeling that she is just an ordinary girl.

Compared to boys, girls don't like being rejected;

Once they find someone who doesn't accept them, their reaction is either pretending not to hear or changing the topic altogether;

Isabella, in front of Wang Xiaole, is both ordinary and more difficult to understand than ordinary girls;

Her way of not allowing herself to be rejected is to stand in front of the master with a straight back and release the unique pressure of an emperor, making it impossible for anyone to oppose her.

This is a good method, but her worries are unnecessary!

Because:

"I'm not here to reject you. I, I agree to the apprenticeship request you just made!"

"Really?"

Isabella maintains her upright posture and suddenly leans her head over;

The distance between the two is very close, and now Wang Xiaole only needs to lower his head slightly to see the chest that unintentionally squeezed over.

But even if he sees it, he will inexplicably feel a sense of regret;

Lolita and flat-chested are the perfect match, but the queen-type mature woman "can't gather popularity," it can be said to be a tragic waste.

"If master is willing to accept me, it must have been a fierce battle in your heart and experience... I wonder what gift you want me to give as a token of apprenticeship?"

I want you to give yourself to me

----Can't say it like that, Isabella will definitely misunderstand this sentence;

Besides, Wang Xiaole doesn't think it's the right time to make such a request.

Right now, he just wants:

"Next time, don't say those distant words! Our master-disciple relationship, even if it's not pure, it doesn't have any strong utilitarian color."

Wang Xiaole thinks:

Taking an apprentice is just a means to deepen the relationship, not a way to extort something from a young girl's hands.

Yes, this good disciple doesn't lack material possessions, because she has plenty of them.

The same goes for the master, he also doesn't lack those things, ultimately because he doesn't have any.

If you don't have something, do you have to obtain it? Is it something you can't live without?

Yes, Wang Xiaole is so poor that it can make a mouse cry.

It was like this when he lived alone in the Heavenly Kingdom, and even more so after he crossed over, he was truly "the proletariat among the proletariat"!

But he also had the stubbornness of a man.

Wang Xiaole would rather, one day, become a waitress in a tavern and earn money without compromising his male dignity.

He would rather do this than accept wealth that feels like charity, even if it is well-intentioned from his disciple.

A life of debauchery and extravagance...

He had to rely on his own efforts to obtain it. The beautiful scene that just flashed through his mind was just a fleeting thought.

Isabella couldn't understand:

She was the queen, and in order to gain the full loyalty of the lords, she had to follow the principle of equivalent exchange.

She exchanged status, honor, and wealth for their contributions.

Isabella fully agreed with her labor law-compliant thinking and didn't think there was any problem with the principle of equivalent exchange.

But her master was not like this.

Because she had observed many people, Isabella could tell:

Her master was definitely not someone without desires. On the contrary, he seemed to be a collection of various desires - appetite, sleep, wealth... It was all clear from him.

She had no intention of giving her master charity. She could tell that he lacked those things, so she wanted to do her best as a disciple and try to help Wang Xiaole with his troubles.

Did she do something wrong?

Why was it wrong? This problem exceeded her own thinking, so she could only seek answers from her mentor.

At the moment when Isabella lowered her head, the first interaction between the master and disciple began. The content was simple, and both sides only had one sentence:

"Disciple doesn't understand! Even as an emperor, after gaining the support of the people, you still have to ensure their safety and livelihood. With the masses, you have to maintain the principle of equivalent exchange, but you don't want anything..."

"What you're talking about is the relationship between the emperor and the people, not the same as the relationship between master and disciple! The person who is willing to give the best things to the disciple is called a 'master,' and the disciple doesn't need to give anything in return."

Wang Xiaole, with his legs crossed and his mouth full, couldn't bear the weight of the phrase "being a role model."

But what he just said was truly the concept that a master should instill in his female disciple.

At a certain moment, a small droplet fell and landed on Wang Xiaole's face.

The sky had already stopped raining, and the droplets falling now were just remnants of rainwater left on the eaves.

Isabella thought that maybe the roof had suffered some minor damage during the previous heavy rain and wind, causing the rainwater to fall.

This was her personal speculation, but no one knew better than her mentor what these inconspicuous phenomena truly meant!

"Oh no... we're in trouble."

But a few drops of rainwater were nothing at all.

Just if you consider:

At the same time Wang Xiaole spoke, the constantly emerging cracks on the walls on both sides were worth the attention of the two.

There were continuous sounds of bricks and tiles falling outside, accompanied by a significant sense of vibration throughout the entire building;

Uninformed people would find it difficult to distinguish whether it was the house shaking or the outside world.

"Isabella, to make a long story short: the world of illusion is about to collapse!" said Wang Xiaole with these words hanging from his mouth. He reached out and grabbed Isabella's slender arm, preparing to take her outside.

Out of trust between master and disciple, although Isabella was unclear about what had happened, she still followed Wang Xiaole and cooperated well, heading towards the outside to leave the house that could collapse at any moment.

After Isabella arrived outside, she blinked several times and looked at the distant lake. The rippling waves on the lake surface were like her gaze.

The sky reflected on the lake surface was cut into countless pieces of light and shadow, and the original appearance of the sky could no longer be found. It turned into countless stars, continuously flickering as if they would fall in an instant;

The sky was not adorned with a high-hanging sun, but the lake water had evaporated, and the trees on both sides had disappeared, replaced by deep pits sinking one by one;

The pits slowly expanded, and different individuals overlapped and connected with each other. Before long, they caused large areas to sink as a whole.

With a "crack" sound, she had to look up at the sky. With this upward glance, she discovered that the rain clouds suddenly dispersed, revealing the clear blue sky behind;

However, this was not the sky that people would like to see, because countless cracks suddenly appeared on the blue silk-like sky;

As if black blades had cut through the silk, black lines gradually filled the entire sky.

For Isabella, this scene was like the end of the world, and in fact, it was indeed a kind of "doomsday"...

When leading his disciple to escape, Wang Xiaole thought very clearly in his heart. He understood that this world was about to be destroyed!

It had nothing to do with the previous visit of the man and woman. The two of them did not cause much damage to the illusion and left on their own;

Naturally, it was not because Wang Xiaole lacked the physical strength to maintain this world. He was confident in his endurance.

The sudden collapse of the world of illusion and its imminent destruction was ultimately related to Wang Xiaole's own power.

This power within him came from the "Divine Stone";

Although the stone recognized the young man as its master, it was still influenced to a greater or lesser extent by the special experiences of its former owner, Freya;

When the "Divine Stone" was affected, the divine power it provided would naturally become turbulent;

And once the output of divine power became unstable, the world of illusion that relied on it would quickly self-destruct.

Wang Xiaole felt that the power within him was somewhat restless, like blood flowing faster in his veins, not a small problem that could be ignored;

From this, it could be inferred that Freya must have encountered some major trouble!

After all, she was a stupid goddess with a malfunctioning brain, and it was not difficult for Wang Xiaole to imagine the unfolding of a plot where she encountered danger in the mortal world...

Before helping her, Wang Xiaole had to first help himself and his newly acquired disciple, quickly escaping from this world on the verge of destruction.

Leaving the house, of course, there was the danger of the house collapsing, but the more important point was:

In that place, Wang Xiaole couldn't conveniently take people with him, the small house was not enough to set up a teleportation array;

And without the teleportation array, it was almost impossible for the two of them to leave this place in a short period of time.

The brilliance of divine power spread out, without the need for the owner to personally take action, it autonomously carved magical patterns in a vast area;

This place was originally a grassland, but now it has turned into an endless desert, with the vitality around it rapidly fading away.
