CHAPTER 322: CHAPTER 266: THE POSSIBILITY OF PARASITE REBELLION (4000 WORDS!)_2
"You can betray like this?!" Lou Fei’Er’s eyes gradually widened during Xu Xin’s recounting. This method is truly brilliant. Is this guy teaching her how to betray?
Unfortunately, with the contract in place, she can’t even come up with the idea of betrayal right now.
Moreover, although her main treehouse hasn’t been chopped down yet, Xu Xin is already like the owner of that treehouse. Her main treehouse and parasitic treehouse are basically not much different now. She has no way to stop him if he ever decides to chop it down.
So, with her main treehouse already gone, using the method he mentioned to betray, she would still be strictly confined by another main treehouse holder.
To put it bluntly, even if she betrays, she would only be turning from one person’s slave to another person’s slave.
So even without the contract in place, she wouldn’t betray.
If she really had to choose, she’d rather obediently be Xu Xin’s slave. After all, this man is the number one person in all areas. Following him gives the greatest chance of survival.
And he has never done anything to her during his weak moments, at most just scared her a bit.
With such good treatment, she’d be crazy to go be someone else’s slave!
If she could break away and become the master, she might have some thoughts of betrayal...
"You are the top in all regions, and still afraid of betrayal, huh?" Lou Fei’Er was a bit puzzled, "If he has any brains, he wouldn’t go be a dog for someone weaker, right?"
"This matter is a bit complicated." Li Wenxi glanced at Xu Xin, saw Xu Xin nodding at her, and then explained the whole story to Lou Fei’Er.
After all, today Lou Fei’Er is the main character, it’s good to tell her about these things.
Her life is in her own hands, she dare not stir up trouble.
"Ah..." Lou Fei’Er trembled slightly all over when she heard Xu Xin crushed Ma Hongyu’s fist and directly chopped off his head.
She thought of the scene when her throat was cut. That shadow was even larger than the space of the bracelet!
If this guy had chopped off her head back then, she might not have been able to revive.
Thinking about this, she felt a little thankful.
"But... so that’s how it is..." Lou Fei’Er fell into contemplation.
About the issue Xu Xin just mentioned... she seems to have a solution...
She can make mutation pills!
Mixing Xu Xin’s ability to contract mutated creatures, couldn’t this make Ma Hongwei entirely unable to defy Xu Xin, just like herself?
She is all too familiar with this contract effect, it completely extinguishes any idea of escaping, making it much easier for her to commit suicide than to escape. So this method can indeed perfectly solve Xu Xin’s concerns.
Should she tell him...
"How about you do this!" Li Wenxi gritted her teeth and proposed a suggestion, "Lure him over, find a reason to make as many control panels as possible, and then just..." She made a slashing gesture across her throat.
"Whoa, so ruthless?" Xu Xin quipped, "Killing the donkey after it has done the grinding?"
"I’m just thinking about your safety!" Li Wenxi slapped the table, her cheeks a bit red, she also felt this method was a bit inhumane.
Xu Xin’s current increased affinity left her without temper, even regretting saying such a harsh thing.
"Huh? ... Huh huh huh!" Keke was startled by Li Wenxi’s slap, poked her head out from Xu Xin’s embrace to see, and was directly snatched over by Li Wenxi for a vigorous rub.
"...What you said does make sense, but..." Xu Xin sighed.
What she proposed is once and for all, but Xu Xin really doesn’t want to give up on Ma Hongwei’s ability. Doing so would be like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Besides, his ability might become even stronger in the future.
Xu Xin took out the red mutation pill.
Perhaps... let him use this pill.
He would benefit.
"This is it!" Lou Fei’Er pointed at the pill in Xu Xin’s hand and exclaimed.
She figured it out, it’s not fair for only herself to be miserable, she should let this Ma Hongwei keep her company!
"Just let him use this, and then you sign a contract, trust me, he definitely won’t dare to defy you, even if you want to steel him, he will have to endure it!"
Lou Fei’Er’s words made Xu Xin’s forehead black line, Li Wenxi’s cheeks also turned red: "Hey, what are you saying!"
But what she said next made Xu Xin’s eyes suddenly widen.
"Actually, I can make this pill, as long as you have the materials." Lou Fei’Er, after thinking it through, still said this.
This...
"Huh? You can make it? Then can I also have a chance to eat one?" Li Wenxi was also very surprised, but more was delighted. This pill is indeed powerful!
"Of course!" Lou Fei’Er nodded, "However, it requires materials, intermediate mutant beast’s blood and flesh? Seems to be this, I haven’t actually made one yet."
"This..." Xu Xin looked at her, first shocked, then slightly frowned, "Can you really do it?"
"...I can, what’s wrong, I can do it, shouldn’t you be happy?" Lou Fei’Er felt nervous being stared at by Xu Xin, leaned towards Li Wenxi.
Xu Xin continued staring at her, his eyes gradually narrowed: "I remember asking you about this before, right? You lied? Didn’t you say before that you can’t lie to me, seems like the contract’s power isn’t as strong as you say."
With that, Xu Xin raised his left hand.
"What are you trying to do!" Lou Fei’Er was startled, immediately hid behind Li Wenxi, "You only asked me how these two pills were obtained, didn’t ask if I can make them! I didn’t lie, you didn’t ask and blamed me!"
Hmm? Is that so?
Xu Xin recalled the conversation back then.
Hmm, seems... it really was like she said.
"Wenxi, save me, he’s going to lock me up again..." Lou Fei’Er’s voice took on a crying tone.
"Huh? What is this? Lock you up? What lock up?" Li Wenxi was completely at a loss, but nonetheless instinctively protected the seemingly about to cry Lou Fei’Er, said to Xu Xin, "Don’t bully her, isn’t she helping you?"
This seems... it really was my misunderstanding.
Xu Xin shook his head: "I misunderstood you, sorry."
Lou Fei’Er breathed a sigh of relief when Xu Xin relented.
Indeed! Maintaining a good relationship with Li Wenxi, she is basically safe!
She felt she was a genius!
"So what exactly is this locking up about?" Li Wenxi caught onto the crux, looked at Lou Fei’Er and Xu Xin, expression a bit odd, "Locking up?"
"It’s like this." Xu Xin didn’t want to cause any misunderstanding, explained a bit about his bracelet.
"Inside that bracelet, it’s especially dark, completely void, nothing visible, no sound, only the sound of your own heartbeat! It’s horrifying! Stay too long inside, spirit will definitely suffer!" Lou Fei’Er said with lingering fear.
"Ah, similar to a negative decibel room?" Li Wenxi realized, "That is quite terrifying indeed, it’s said no one can endure more than an hour."
"Even scarier than that!" Lou Fei’Er shook her head vigorously, "At least you can see things in a negative decibel room! Inside that bracelet, pitch black invisible, can’t touch anything either, it’s just like a void coffin already buried underground, too terrifying!"
She wasn’t exaggerating, though she wanted to render the bracelet’s terror to evoke sympathy from Li Wenxi, she found with her vocabulary, she couldn’t even describe this terror, let alone exaggerate it.
Speaking of which, she thought of the space inside the bracelet and almost burst into tears.
Too terrifying!
"Alright, alright, as long as you don’t make too big a mistake, Xu Xin won’t lock you in there." Li Wenxi comforted her.
"Don’t fall for her act, who knows how much she’s exaggerating." Xu Xin rolled his eyes.
"I did not!" Lou Fei’Er was so angry her face turned red, she had experienced the feeling of the boy who cried wolf, "If you don’t believe it, check it out yourself!"
Honestly, being punished for making a mistake, she felt was okay, quite normal, but that bracelet was really a bit excessive! Making a small mistake would get you locked in, felt like being sentenced to death for stealing five bucks!
"Alright, this topic ends here." Xu Xin made a stopping gesture, "If you really can make the pill, then make one now."
