Chapter 164 Onpharos 1-18 Wan Di held the plate, his expression...

Crane Kite never expects to gain anything from the game.

In the dullness of real life, a game that can make him cry or laugh is a game that suits his taste.

So even though he couldn't change his fate while on the Luofu Immortal Ship, he continued playing along.

White Calamity.

Bai E, Wan Di, and Na Ke Xia were all characters that fit his aesthetic preferences; he liked them at first sight, but didn't have any deep feelings for them, so he treated them... somewhat casually.

He Yuan knew that there was a possibility that he might like someone in the future, but he didn't need to say anything conciliatory at this time for the sake of that possibility.

Forced play? That's interesting.

His stats were so high before, it seems like no one dares to treat him like this.

Those star gods are fine, but they all seem to have reservations. If He Yuan clearly expresses his dislike, they will remain silent and watch from somewhere.

Bai Er's behavior was somewhat beyond his expectations, but still within acceptable limits.

He Yuan gripped Bai E's arm tightly, saying haltingly, "Bai... Bai E! Please go out—please go out? Let's have a proper talk?"

Bai E paused for a moment, then buried himself even deeper.

"How do we talk? And what can I get out of it?"

After being deceived by a philandering bad man, Bai E also used her cunning.

He wasn't stupid; he just trusted He Yuan's outward appearance too much and didn't think much of it.

Now, he carefully listened to the confusion and perfunctory tone in He Yuan's words, and continued to block the way, as if he wouldn't leave until he got an answer.

He Yuan looked flustered.

Wan Di is still in the kitchen and could return at any moment!

With my defenses wide open, who knows what kind of trouble Wan Di will cause when he returns!

He Yuan loves watching plays, but cherishes her health even more.

He wanted to see two people fight in front of his house, not compete against each other in bed.

It's obvious what will happen when Wan Di returns.

These two will probably fight, then try to provoke him, and eventually it will escalate into...

Okay, okay, although he had eaten sandwiches before, even among three people, it was okay to have that kind of thing only once in a while. Plus, the three people at the time were quite fond of him, so overall, the experience was only pleasurable, not uncomfortable.

But these two people...

To be honest, He Yuan wasn't very sure.

There was no intention to compare or belittle anyone.

Although Yingxing was strong, on par with the two, he never felt that the weight was too heavy.

Sometimes the force might be a bit strong, but it's always within his tolerance range.

Bai E... a young upstart, all he knows is brute force and no skill whatsoever, and he's still the same now.

Wan Di has improved in recent years and has become more compatible with him.

But men are most easily swayed, especially in bed, where they say one thing and do another.

It's best to avoid it if possible.

Cranes and kites don't want to suffer.

Faced with this "crisis," he resorted to the same deceptive tactics he had used before.

"Why don't you interpret the divine oracle too?" He Yuan reached out and turned Bai E's cheek, kissing him on the cheek. "You know what I'm talking about, right?"

Bai E remained unmoved. "You made the same promise to me before, but then you stopped me."

He carefully held He Yuan's hand and played with it, then wrapped his arms around the priest from behind, completely enveloping him in his embrace.

The gates of Heyuan were now wide open, the only lock blocked by a key. The dark key was swallowed by the pinkish-white keyhole, making it appear exceptionally hidden in the bright interior.

Moreover, the area it faces is also very dangerous; it's the kind of place you can see as soon as you open the door.

Bai Er said, "Your promises and tokens are useless. I will not leave until you produce something that can convince me to back out."

For the first time, He Yuan carefully examined this "savior".

Okay, Aglaia can probably rest assured now.

This savior is not as harmless as he seems on the surface; he can be deadly when he gets serious.

He Yuan said, "...I don't know, is there anything you want?"

Bai'er asked in confusion, "You don't know?"

Didn't know better and still provoked them!

He thought He Yuan was the kind of person who could flit from flower to flower without ever getting attached, but...

So you can't even handle something like this?

Bai E dismissed this guess and instead thought: Then wouldn't he be He Yuan's second man?

If not first, then second. At most, Wan Di was just lucky to meet He Yuan earlier. Otherwise, who knows who would have gotten the first one!

“I don’t know either,” Bai Er said.

His tone unconsciously became more relaxed.

Bai E had assumed that He Yuan's cold yet familiar demeanor had been used to dismiss many people in the same way.

Now that I think about it... no! Bai'er, think about it again!

What if—what if he was faking it again!

Bai E tried to read He Yuan's expression. "How did you deal with Wan Di before?"

He Yuan let out an "Ah," and uncomfortably adjusted her sitting posture, letting Xiao Bai peek out a little. "Before... before, I thought he was quite good-looking, could cook, and it would be convenient for him to come here, so... so I let him come."

That's it?!

“You seem quite adept at giving me the runaround,” Bai E said, his eyes gleaming. “Have you practiced before?”

He asked very directly, and He Yuan immediately understood his implication.

I also know that Bai E isn't so angry anymore.

...They're easy to coax.

He Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I haven't practiced it. If I had, you wouldn't have noticed yet."

Bai E: "...Oh right."

If He Yuan had put in even a little effort to appease him, things wouldn't have come to this.

No! Doesn't this mean that He Yuan didn't care about him at all?

Bai E was in pain, her pain tinged with deep sorrow.

Seeing his expression, He Yuan seized the opportunity to get up and flip over, freeing herself from the stick that had been buried there.

He ruffled Bai E's hair. "Are you sad? You look handsome even when you're sad."

Bai'er looked at him sadly: "Don't you like me at all?"

After understanding the deeper meaning, his anger was completely extinguished by a bucket of cold water, leaving only choking smoke that made his eyes sting.

He Yuan shook her head. "Of course I like you. You're so handsome and have such a great figure, of course I like you."

That statement is correct.

It's just that He Yuanping likes every beautiful character equally!

In short, you are all my wings!

Bai E understood.

He Yuan was lustful at first sight!

Wait, wasn't it said that He Yuan is blind? Then how does he know that he is... handsome?

Bai E asked, "How do you know what I look like?"

He Yuan used a pre-prepared excuse, "Because there are many people who like you too."

"Many people like me and say I'm good-looking. A large portion of those people overlap with those who say you're handsome. Whether you're beautiful in the conventional sense or not, at least you and I belong to the same aesthetic system."

"Most importantly, Aglaia also said I'm pretty, so you can't be too bad off."

When it came to these things, He Yuan began to speak eloquently.

He appeared less aloof and cold, and more human and lively.

Bai Er reluctantly accepted this explanation, but he still found it strange.

However, this is not something to worry about.

"You like me? But how much do you like me?"

He Yuan found an empty spot to sit down. "Friends, I guess. We're probably friends."

Bai E laughed, "Friends you can sleep with? You have many friends like that?"

He Yuan shook her head. "I have no friends."

Bai E: "..."

He inexplicably felt guilty!

Things have developed in a way that has completely exceeded his expectations.

He originally wanted an explanation and some punishment for He Yuan.

But without realizing it, the distance between the two had grown quite large, and the content of their conversations had also changed.

It seems that things get out of control whenever Crane and Kite are involved.

Bai E calmed himself down.

No matter what, he must get an explanation today!

"So what promises are you going to make to this friend of mine, the kind that I can trust?"

Bai Er steered the conversation back on track, but his tone was no longer as aggressive as before.

He Yuan lowered her head. "How about... you meet with Wan Di? You two can discuss when to come."

Bai E: "?"

Bai E: "Do you consider Wan Di to be a friend as well?"

What? He thought Wan Di was at least a close lover!

Just now in the garden at Dawn Cloud Cliff, the two of them were all lovey-dovey, like a couple deeply in love.

So, even a thousand enemies are "friends"?

Bai E suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Wan Di.

It's been three years, and we're still friends. That's kind of sad.

But as tragic as it may be, Wan Di has had a wonderful three years!

If Bai Er were to live that kind of life, what's wrong with being "friends"?

Crane and Iris are the "friends" who can sleep with him!

He Yuan nodded slowly, "More or less, more than friends, but not quite lovers."

"He should be considered my...lover now? That's how I've heard other people describe this kind of relationship."

"Would you mind having another lover?"

"Huh?"

Bai E has come to terms with it.

He felt that any man with a shred of self-respect would have left by now.

But there was no way around it; he simply couldn't live without He Yuan.

It wasn't just the initial attraction, but also the sudden surge of emotion in his chest that made his blood boil.

Sometimes, Bai Er is a bit hesitant.

After he grew up, he wanted to venture out into the world, but as he was about to set off, he still felt a little uncertain and wavered between staying and leaving.

If the Black Tide hadn't destroyed his hometown, Bai'e wouldn't have come to Ohema so quickly, driven by the belief of avenging his family and killing all the Black Tide monsters, and has come this far.

He is the savior, but he is also caught up in it.

He couldn't tell whether he had become a "savior" willingly or unwillingly.

When I was with He Yuan, that heavy burden seemed to lighten a little.

The scattered thoughts in his mind also coalesced into a cohesive whole, making his belief clear.

Whether by choice or necessity, he now wants to be the one who can save everyone.

—If he didn't exist, he would become that person.

He wanted to be the one who could save everyone.

He likes cranes and kites.

These heartfelt words finally reached his ears.

Bai E said that because she liked him.

"...Is that okay?" He Yuan said uncertainly, "Wan Di didn't say that he could only have one lover."

Because this is something that moral people need to abide by.

But if you're already in a relationship, why worry about morality?

Ignoring Wan Di's thoughts, Bai E pulled He Yuan's hand and hugged the priest back into her arms.

"Then I'll be waiting for your news."

"If you lie to me again, it won't be so easy next time."

Just as He Yuan was about to nod, she heard a noise coming from the doorway.

“Savior, there will be no next time.”

Wan Di held the plate, looking at them with an unfriendly expression.

-----------------------

A note from the author: These are just some of my own humble opinions.

Xiao Bai didn't explicitly say that he wanted to become the savior, and if the plot in Li Village is also uncertain, then Xiao Bai will also be uncertain.

But he ultimately became the savior, and he was very proactive in the process.

If there was an element of "fate" involved before he realized the data body, then after Lai Gushi's words, Xiaobai acted entirely out of his own initiative. If his thoughts hadn't been so intense, he wouldn't have been able to persist for so long.

In my opinion, from that time onwards, Bai Er truly became a "savior".

However, this is a lighthearted romance novel, and while there are some lighthearted moments and reincarnation elements, there definitely aren't that many. Please don't think I'm making this up, okay? [hugs]
