Chapter 485: Triangular Slandering

Translator: CKtalon  Editor:

Seeing Shi Xiaobai suddenly enter a ruminative state before suddenly revealing a smile, everyone in the room was left confused.

 

Feng Yuanlin and Pulp Farmer exchanged glances and once again tried to urge the other to speak by staring daggers at each other. They still had not received a clear answer to that important question.

 

After the 'glaring war' continued for a long time, Pulp Farmer was finally defeated. He secretly straightened his back and clenched his fists. He asked, "Shi Xiaobai, do you have any impression of the matters after the fake Hero King's disappearance?"

 

With that said, Feng Yuanlin quietly turned his head away, afraid that his expression would reveal anything.

 

The look in Sunless's eyes changed slightly before it instantly was restored to the dull and inert state.

 

The Infernal Queen's coquettish smile turned increasingly teasing.

 

When Shi Xiaobai heard the question, he stopped thinking and looked up at Pulp Farmer. He began to subconsciously consider Pulp Farmer's question.

 

Matters that happened after Dawn Li's disappearance?

 

Shi Xiaobai dived back into his memories again. He recalled that when Dawn suddenly disappeared, his momentary panic and bewilderment caused him to be consumed by 'angry' emotions. The tiny bit of reason that had been awoken by Dawn's gentle address had vanished.

 

Back then, he saw everything flooded by a scarlet red screen. The lives in front of him had turned into ugly devils. Therefore, when Sunless approached him, it was as though a devil was walking toward him. His instinctive act of killing caused him to strike, stabbing Sunless's shoulders with both hands.

 

If not for the soft sensation of stabbing into the shoulders and the painful grunt that Sunless uttered which instantly awoken him, it would have created a tragedy.

 

Thankfully, he had resisted the 'wrath' in his heart, causing his already exhausted body to finally fall unconscious.

 

Shi Xiaobai remained silent for a moment and told everyone in the room of the situation that happened back then. An apologetic look of lingering fear flashed in his eyes.

 

Sunless reacted upon listening to Shi Xiaobai's depiction of the events. Her heart ached for Shi Xiaobai's tiny bit of consciousness while in that state but she was also delighted that he had defeated 'anger' in order to not harm her. Most of all, she was worried that Shi Xiaobai would blame himself for injuring her shoulders.

 

Sunless's thoughts were complex but she did not know how to articulate it. Her eyes wandered around and after a moment of hesitation, she finally extended her hand out to grab Shi Xiaobai's hand and said seriously, "Don't blame you."

 

The warm and gentle touch that transmitted to the back of his hand made him experience the genuine and selfless intentions of a girl. In the array world, Shi Xiaobai, who for the first time had his 'emotions opened up', knew how valuable these intentions were.

 

His heart warmed up as he smiled gently and whispered, "Got it."

 

Sunless's eyes lit up slightly as a fleeting smile suddenly suffused on her face. It was like an especially mesmerizing cactus flower that bloomed rarely.

 

A green 'tinge of envy' brewed. It was so astringent that it made the Infernal Queen roll her eyes.

 

Pulp Farmer, who was worried over another matter, did not engage in the fury of a 'bachelor dog', much less the realization that he was being the third wheel. He suddenly interrupted, "Then…what about the matters after falling unconscious? Do you still remember anything else?"

 

"Matters after falling unconscious?" said Shi Xiaobai in surprise. "This King was already unconscious, so how could there be any memories?"

 

Pulp Farmer's eyes widened as cold sweat immediately oozed out of his forehead.

 

Damn it, he was in such a rush to obtain an answer that he had forgotten such a simple piece of logic. If Shi Xiaobai did not remember that he had 'woken up' during his unconsciousness, such a question was equivalent to telling Shi Xiaobai that other matters had happened after he fell unconscious. A person as clever as Shi Xiaobai would definitely realize this problem.

 

Indeed, Shi Xiaobai quickly wrinkled his eyebrows and asked, "Did something happen after This King fell unconscious? Or could it be…that This King did something after he fell unconscious?"

 

Pulp Farmer's expression drastically changed as he cursed inwardly for being a fool. He knew that he had to quickly come up with a reason or fabricate a story to shrug off the matter. However, how could he so easily fool the clever Shi Xiaobai? Pulp Farmer's mind was a mess as he could not think of a solution instantly. He broke out into a sweat from his anxiousness.

 

Feng Yuanlin was also worried by the side, but with his dull brains, how could he come up with a solution?

 

Shi Xiaobai finally noticed the strangeness and as though he thought of something, his pupils constricted suddenly. With a slight change in expression, he uttered, "Could it be…"

 

"He slapped you three times."

 

"Ah?"

 

"Ah?"

 

Shi Xiaobai turned his head toward Sunless.

 

Sunless locked eyes with Shi Xiaobai and gradually lifted her left hand and pointed at Pulp Farmer. She said without any expression, "When you fell unconscious, your vital signs had vanished. He was so frightened that he slapped you three times."

 

Pulp Farmer was confused. When did he slap Shi Xiaobai three times?

 

Why was Sunless 'slandering' him?

 

Just as the surprised thought rose in his mind, Pulp Farmer saw Shi Xiaobai's suspicious and panicking expression gradually relax. With a flash of brilliance, Pulp Farmer immediately realized why Sunless had suddenly fabricated this lie.

 

As he had slapped Shi Xiaobai thrice, he was afraid that Shi Xiaobai still had a memory of that happening despite being unconscious. Therefore, he had asked such a strange question.

 

Sunless had helped him fabricate an excuse.

 

Pulp Farmer was relieved and he immediately felt like prostrating himself before Sunless in admiration. Indeed, the person that could fool Shi Xiaobai was also a 'freak' with an equally high intelligence.

 

After realizing this line of thought, he hurriedly added to corroborate Sunless's explanation, "Sor…Sorry. It wasn't intentional…Back…back then, the situation was intense. Feng Yuanlin nearly cried from panic!"

 

Pulp Farmer was followed the 'code of brotherhood' as he dragged Feng Yuanlin into it as well.

 

Feng Yuanlin exclaimed. With his intelligence, he obviously had not fully understood the situation. He only knew that Sunless had suddenly 'slandered' Pulp Farmer and Pulp Farmer had suddenly 'slandered' him.

 

Was this the prelude to a 'slander' exchange?

 

Feng Yuanlin was afraid that he would wreck Sunless and Pulp Farmer's 'plans', so he bit the bullet and tried inferring.

 

Since they were having a 'slander' exchange, shouldn't he say something as well?

 

But who could he 'slander'?

 

Feng Yuanlin racked his brains with all his might as a stroke of brilliance suddenly flashed in his mind. He said loudly, "Right, right, right. The situation back then was too nerve-racking. Everyone thought you were dead. Brother Pulp Farmer slapped you thrice, and I…I nearly cried from panic. Also, also…Sunless gave you mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in order to save you!"

 

At that moment, Feng Yuanlin found himself extremely clever. He had perfectly complemented the grand plan of a 'triangular slander'.

 

Sunless, who suddenly took an arrow in the knee, had her breathing falter for a moment. With a stiffened expression, she wanted to explain, but she could not expose the lie at that moment. She could only swallow her words but the embarrassment in her heart prevented her from looking into Shi Xiaobai's eyes. However, her right hand was still adamantly holding on to his.

 

Pulp Farmer lowered his head in guilt and pretended that it had nothing to do with him. However, he secretly gave Feng Yuanlin a big thumbs up in his mind. This support of intelligence was really fucking well done (sick)!

 

The Infernal Queen, who was watching the brouhaha by the side, burst out into laughter. Her feminine laughter could not cease at all.

 

When Shi Xiaobai realized the situation, he was at a loss whether to laugh or to cry. He said, "It seems like…all of you need to be a bit more careful after This King 'falls unconscious'."

 

Pulp Farmer was delighted. Shi Xiaobai had been fooled. A triangle was indeed the most stable shape.

 

Sunless was relieved as well.

 

Regardless, concealing the truth was all that is needed.
