Chapter 1285: Cant Afford To Offend (3)
Empyrean Cloud really wanted to ask if he really believed he would live longer than a death sovereign. But...she didn't know how to phrase that question. Her worldview had been toppled completely. This was the first mayor in existence to worry that their death sovereign would die.
She had no choice but to believe that the longer you lived, the more you would see.
She had seen countless mayors before, but all of them wanted nothing more than to see their death sovereigns dead. Meanwhile, Su Yu was afraid that Xing Yue would die.
Worried, Su Yu asked, "Lord, is there no way for me to remain a mayor when Xing Yue is dead?"
After some hesitation, Empyrean Cloud said, "I'm not sure. Normally, those lucky enough to have their death sovereign dead will leave as soon as possible. I have never seen any such person remain in the city to wait for a second conversion. Maybe...you can try."
With an expression of great worry, Su Yu said, "No, I won't try something so risky. Xing Yue better not die on me. If she dies and nobody else is willing to convert me, I won't be able to remain a mayor. No way. I need to tell Lord Grandstar to take good care of Xing Yue. I also need to remind Xing Yue to not go too far away. She shouldn't be too quick to fight the other death sovereigns for her hegemony. I also need to absorb less death qi from her. I can't weaken her too much, right? Sigh. Why is she such a worrisome person?"
He was starting to fear for Xing Yue. If she were to die, he would be in a very big trouble. With the sheer number of enemies he had, including the human race, the thought of losing his mayorship was terrifying.
He hurriedly said, "Lord, why don't you call Yanmo over? Tell him to try converting me. That way, I'll have a spare..."
Yet again, Empyrean Cloud experienced another first time. She didn't know how to react.
Thus, she ignored him and sent Grandstar a voice transmission instead, "Grandstar, your mayor...is telling you to protect the death sovereign over there properly. Don't let her die or he won't get to be a mayor anymore. He does not want his freedom..."
Grandstar was left quite speechless as well. Shortly after, he replied, "True. Xing Yue's death might really free him. That would put him in a lot of trouble and lose us an outstanding mayor."
