Dig Up the Sun Emperor's Legacy: I Build an Invincible Undead Legion
Chapter 45: Little Bee

Chapter 45: Little Bee

"..."

Carlos took a deep breath—he felt like he was being treated as "prey."

As if realizing her movements were a bit much, Sabina’s red lips parted slightly, breathing out sweet perfume.

"Big sister was just stretching a little—didn’t bother you, did I, little Carlos?"

Carlos didn’t take the bait with Sabina’s words, instead cutting straight to the chase.

"I came here to trade Blood Bat intel with you, Lady."

After speaking, Carlos carefully watched Sabina’s face to read her reaction to this whole thing.

Who would’ve thought Sabina’s gorgeous brow would actually scrunch up a bit.

Carlos thought this was bad news—had she already found Blood Bats? Was he too late to the party?

"Little Carlos, is our relationship really this cold?

You’re still calling me ’Lady’!"

That’s right—Sabina was actually ticked off about how he was addressing her.

Hearing this, Carlos griped internally:

’At her age, she’s still acting like a teenage girl, pouting and throwing fits!’

"You seem to be thinking something rude, little Carlos?"

Women’s intuition was just that unfair.

Carlos kept his poker face:

"Lady, not at all. I was just thinking about how I should address you."

Sabina barely bought it, a hint of amusement in her eyes.

"Oh, little Carlos, have you figured it out?"

Carlos pretended to think for a few seconds:

"Sister Sabina?"

The half-lying lazy woman’s eyes lost their amused sparkle as she said with annoyance:

"Too boring!"

"Sabina?"

"Too plain!"

"Bina?"

"Not close enough!"

"..."

Carlos thought this couldn’t go on forever. Bracing himself, he tentatively tried:

"Little Sasha?"

"Hmm?"

"Little Nana?"

"Mm?"

"..."

Carlos threw in the towel, throwing up his hands—he was out of ideas.

Seeing Carlos like this, Sabina laughed like music, reaching out a pale arm toward him.

"Help me sit up."

Having come this far, Carlos could only slowly take that hand—soft, with a slight chill.

Sweet perfume filled the air as Sabina sat up, her other hand naturally coming to rest gently on Carlos’s cheek.

She said softly:

"Little Bee, remember to call me ’Mina.’"

This was what super "close" people in Sabina’s homeland called each other.

Carlos looked weird—what kind of bizarre names were these? And he’d gotten a weird nickname too?

"Alright, Mina, can we..."

Finally past the name game, Carlos was dying to get down to business.

"No problem, little Bee. What do you want?

Spirit equipment? Magic potions? Or..."

As she spoke, Sabina lightly pressed her finger to her lips, letting imagination run wild.

The switch was too fast, like a fever dream—Carlos didn’t catch up right away.

Not asking about Blood Bat news?

This woman’s train of thought—Carlos really couldn’t keep up.

"I need to borrow a light gold quality spirit equipment from here—the Death Necklace of Bones, for 1-day usage rights."

"No problem, little Bee. Is that your only request?"

Sabina agreed without batting an eye. Light gold quality spirit equipment, though pretty valuable, was nothing compared to her little sweetheart.

Besides, it was just borrowing—with the Valois family’s rep, they couldn’t possibly borrow without returning it.

Even if they didn’t return it, so what? Who made this kid steal her heart?

"..."

Things went way smoother than expected, and Sabina never brought up Blood Bat news the whole time, like she’d totally forgotten.

But he felt like he should still tell her about the Blood Bats.

If she really didn’t need it, he had other intel as payback.

"Mina, on the mountain peak to the right of Cheali Canyon, there’s a hidden cave.

In that cave, a bunch of Blood Bats are sleeping.

I think this should be pretty useful to you."

The second he finished talking, Sabina’s body shivered slightly, excitement flashing in her eyes before vanishing.

"My sweet honey, yes, this is super important to me.

Since you told me this news, I know you also get my obsession with Blood Bats.

But you only used it to trade for temporary usage rights of one piece of equipment, and only for one day.

Even if it’s light gold quality, this is still way too much of a loss for you, isn’t it?"

Sabina’s slender finger lightly tapped the kid’s forehead, her red moist lips parting to release waves of sweet perfume.

The hint was he could get more compensation.

Carlos chuckled to himself. If someone didn’t know Sabina, they’d definitely think she was "making an offer,"

but as a player who knew Sabina’s character inside and out, he understood perfectly.

This was a test—once he followed her lead to ask for extra compensation, she’d definitely tease him playfully before kicking him out.

The deal would go through as originally planned, but he’d never be able to walk through this door again.

He said straight up:

"To you, Blood Bat news is extremely important.

To me, 1-day usage rights of the Death Necklace of Bones is equally important.

There’s no question of loss—they’re even."

Hearing this, obvious surprise showed up in Sabina’s seductive eyes:

"Little Bee, besides your gorgeous looks, your mind has also caught my interest."

"..."

Carlos’s expression went stiff. What reaction worked here—thanks or calling out this female pervert?

This woman had terrifying strength way beyond Carlos’s current level. With that in mind, any reaction wasn’t quite right.

Only silence.

Looking at her with clear emerald eyes.

Letting her understand he was still just a kid!

Sabina’s mouth twitched as she made an "oops" face:

"Right, big sister forgot you’re only half adult age.

Well, forget what I just said—consider it sister’s mistake."

"..."

Carlos complained internally—was this something that could just be forgotten?

But the spirit equipment wasn’t in his hands yet—he couldn’t bail.

He had to remind her:

"Mina, the spirit equipment..."

"That spirit equipment... let me think where I put it..."

Sabina half-reclined again, pulling Carlos along.

Carlos wanted to resist, but the power gap was too huge—he could only be forced to enjoy the rose bed.

"Little Bee, don’t be tense. Keep me company while I think—I’ll remember soon."

Sabina started humming a tune, threads of enchanting sound

drifting into Carlos’s ears. Since he couldn’t fight it, might as well roll with it.

This was a lullaby from Sabina’s homeland, with a dreamy, peaceful melody that unconsciously relaxed your whole body.

His soul, wound tight for months, was slowly soothed and cleansed, the bottled-up irritation and bloodlust in his heart gradually melting away...

Carlos hadn’t been this chill in forever. His eyes involuntarily closed as he drifted into deep sleep...

Seeing her little treasure fall asleep just like she wanted, Sabina kept humming, looking satisfied, thinking of something that made her happy...
