Chapter 438: Loathe killing him
The shock the rookies from the human world had was different from the spectators from the three domains. They were already gaping in a speechless manner. At the beginning, they believed that Shi Xiaobai was speaking nonsense during his gay confession, but just as they were feeling impressed by Shi Xiaobai’s bullshiting, they suddenly received such shocking news. They were momentarily unsure what was real or fake!
Liu Yu’s lips were trembling as he said, “This Penniless Priest is actually beginning to believe Benefactor Shi Xiaobai’s words are true. That cannot be bullshit he’s cooking up. To know information that she is a man in disguise and that there is a red mole under her armpit, Benefactor Shi Xiaobai might really be…”
Feng Yuanlin interrupted by saying, “That’s impossible, right? That Hero King is fake. The premise Boss Shi Xiaobai is making is that the Hero King is real, and that he was fake. That is clearly a twist of the facts…”
Pulp Farmer said in a deep voice, “If the Hero King is fake, how would Shi Xiaobai know of her psyche and know the name of the nonexistent sword, to the point of knowing that she was actually a female in disguise? All of that wouldn’t make sense!”
Mu Yuesheng said with a frown, “What I’m worried about is different from all of you. Since the fake Hero King in front of us is an imitation, be it her attacks or personality, it is identical to what is written in the history books. But if the fake Hero King is really a female in disguise, could it be true that the Hero King that existed for real was also a female? Could it be that the real Hero King had successfully deceived the world, and lived as a man her entire life?”
Speechless said with a wry smile, “Heavens, if the real Hero King is a female in disguise, then for me to become the second Hero King, wouldn’t I need to do a sex change operation? I refuse to believe that it is true, but on careful thought, when the historical Hero King established a hero organization, he was the only member that wasn’t female. Despite all the beauties surrounding him, he remained single all his life. There wasn’t even any rumors of him having any ambiguous relationships with others. This mystery has lasted for three thousand years, and now upon further thought, her disguise as a man would be the perfect explanation. However, if the Hero King were female, and had lived a man’s life her whole life, no one would believe it if it was told to others, right?”
The few people felt like their intelligence was lacking. Shi Xiaobai’s words progressed layer after layer with clear logic. It was undeniable and it caused what they knew to be twisted to the point of them not being able to figure out what was right and wrong.
Nugatory to sever, messy to unravel, but the conclusion was already out.
Dawn took a few deep breaths before finally forcing herself to calm down with her strong psyche. Typical girls might have attacked in rage, in a desperate attempt to dice up the pervert that ‘blasphemed’ her, but she did not do so. It was not because she did not want to kill him, but because she wanted to unravel the lie more than killing him. Even if the lie was perfected to the point that it seemed real, she refused to abandon her doubts.
However, when the lie was so perfect that it could pass the spurious as genuine, then there was no point doubting it any further.
Dawn fell silent for a very long while as the redness on her cheeks gradually vanished as they returned to their pale color.
“You have won. Even if it is a lie, I believe it.”
After those words were said, the ice-blue eyes returned to its ice-cold calmness once again. Her sharp eyes were focused on Shi Xiaobai as though it was an unsheathed sword. She said coldly, “I’ll treat whatever you said as the truth. Then, please tell me what is your goal? If you really understand me, you would not have said such a sordid confession, much less say things like ‘are you willing to be a side hoe’, but you actually did it. Your actions are filled with contradictions but your explanation is tight and flawless. Everything you did must have been for a particular goal. I’m very curious, no, I have to know your goal.”
Dawn was regretting that she did not immediately kill the youth in front of her previously and that she allowed him to make the ridiculous lie become a fact that she had to believe. At that moment, she wanted to kill him even more, but she could not do it without any hesitation. That was because if she killed the youth, her questions could no longer be answered. She would frequently become vexed because of the questions in her mind.
Before killing him, she needed answers.
However, would he be honest?
He should know that once he resolved her doubts, she would not hesitate to kill him.
Would he be foolish enough to take the initiative to answer her doubts?
“Yes, you are right. What This King previously said was for a particular goal. And that goal has been accomplished. There’s no harm telling you,” said Shi Xiaobai.
Dawn was once again surprised. She realized that she could not maintain her perfect state of mind in front of the youth because he would often say things that completely caught her by surprise.
The goal she was eager to know had already been accomplished?
And there was no harm in telling her?
Dawn could not help but say with a deep voice, “Please tell me your goal.”
Shi Xiaobai smiled. His fake gentle and emotive look returned to calmness. Like a teacher who was explaining an answer to a student, he said seriously, “This King has a simple goal—This King only wanted to know if you are a girl who was disguising as a male. Your reaction just now has given This King a confirmation, so This King’s goal has been reached.”
Dawn was surprised. Her state of mind she had just calmed down was shattered by the blow of the words. She said coldly, “Why did you use such a shoddy lie to prevaricate me? This doesn’t seem like your style.”
Shi Xiaobai slowly shook his head as he said, “Unfortunately, that was not a lie. And that was the only truth This King had said from just now! That confession and that so-called love, or ten lifetimes are lies as you believed. In fact, to This King, you are a stranger he has met for the first time.”
Everyone was left gasping in silence again. After all that, to pass off a spurious lie that was filled with flaws as genuine, to the point of the person in question being forced to believe in the situation, he suddenly said that all he said was a lie.
The plot reversal that happened was so ridiculous that it was void of logic.
But Dawn remained in silence for a very long while after hearing his words. She began to calm down because she realized that her mental state was already in chaos. If she allowed it to continue, the youth in front of her would be leading her by the nose.
Her eyes turned cold and calm once again. She said in a deadpan manner, “Interesting. I have to admit that you are special. You are the only existence to date that has been able to make me perplexed. I want to kill you and am eager to do so. But I am unable to do it because you have created a paradoxical riddle filled with rock solid logic. And I thirst to know the answer to your riddle. Then, do you plan on being immediately killed by me after you answer my doubts, or do you choose to face me in silence, surviving to the point of me not being able to suppress the killing intent in my heart?”
Shi Xiaobai pricked his eyebrows and said with a chuckle, “Such a straightforward goad? Heh, but This King would not fall for such goading. Feel free to ask. This King will answer anything he knows. This King does not wish that the lie would become a fact.”
Dawn stared at Shi Xiaobai for a few seconds. She realized she could not see through the youth at all. Questions filled her mind and she could not be bothered to choose. She simply asked, “Since everything is a lie and I’m a stranger you met for the first time who you think is a girl disguised as a male, why do you know the ideal woman in my mind? How did you know the name of Lucifer’s Sword? Why do you have a copy of Lucifer’s Sword in your hand? Why were you able to so confidently reveal that I’m a girl in disguise? Why do you know that my right armpit…”
When Dawn said to that point, she hurriedly shut her mouth. She did not wish to mention it, nor recall the embarrassed look she had just a while ago from her anger.
She fell silent for a moment before saying, “For now, first answer those few questions.”
Shi Xiaobai chuckled to himself. It looks like she really had many questions. No wonder she was loathing to immediately kill him. However, the answers to those questions were actually very simple.
