Chapter 204 Now, you have to listen to me.
However!
This once again proves that TV dramas are all lies!
If someone keeps watching you while you're pretending to be asleep, your eyelids will twitch like you're getting an electric shock!
Feeling the breath above her head clearly, Karin sighed inwardly.
Those who don't heed the advice of their elders will suffer the consequences!
You really do get what you pay for!
She said, "How could such a beautiful big fish be hers? I've never won a scratch-off lottery ticket in my entire life!"
Ao Bai: "Isn't it because you've always bought two-yuan tickets that you didn't win?"
Huali retorted, "So what if it's two yuan? Two yuan is also part of my pursuit of getting rich!"
The gaze above her felt tangible, and unable to continue pretending any longer, Huali slowly opened her eyes, afraid that if she was even a second late, Yanxi would directly awaken her sleeping soul.
However, it would have been better if she hadn't opened her eyes. When she did, she was facing Yan Xi, who was kneeling beside her head, looking like he was about to cry.
Huali: "......"
She looked at her pale gauze dress in the darkness, and her peaceful sleeping posture with her hands on her navel. Then she looked at the "funeral offspring" beside her, a superstitious Chinese man who was on his deathbed and sat up in shock.
The mermaid before me was like a jade statue broken by wind and rain, its delicate fragility spilling out across the ground.
Seeing that Huali had woken up, Yanxi's shoulders trembled slightly, and soft sobs escaped from between his lips, "My little benefactor, you're finally awake."
Do you know where this is?
Huali: "......"
In that instant, she suddenly felt a deep empathy for Solly, the man whose death was triggered by an apple.
Only those who have experienced it know how desperate it can be!
Hua Li looked at Yan Xi with a complicated expression, and sincerely suggested, "Are you interested in participating in the Magnolia Awards? I'll vote for you; there's hope for the Chinese entertainment industry."
Yan Xi's eyes were filled with tears, and a fleeting look of confusion crossed her face.
Huali possesses all the characteristics of a "destined person," and only she can break the shackles that the heavens have placed upon her.
Now that the person has been successfully brought here, the most important thing is to get her to come willingly.
A faint glint flashed in the young man's eyes, and a mind of absolute rationality emerged in his mind.
First and foremost, Karin must never discover that this was a voluntary act.
In this way, he could continue to use this vulnerable mask to get closer to her, making her follow his instructions to complete the most crucial step while she was confused.
Yan Xi parted his lips slightly, about to utter a suggestive syllable, but the girl in front of him sighed heavily, "Where is this? Shouldn't I be the one asking you?"
After a few short minutes of scheming, Huali bluntly asked, "What are you planning to do after going through all this trouble to bring me to this place?"
The girl's almond-shaped eyes were bright and clear. Even in such a tense environment, she showed no panic. It was a kind of spiritual core that could only come from her own strong inner strength.
Yan Xi's mask of weakness cracked slightly. "...Little benefactor?"
"Don't call me your little benefactor." Huali waved her hand. "You don't think I didn't know you knocked me out, do you?" Although she really didn't know, she couldn't escape the keen eyes of her steward, Ao.
A look of surprise flashed across Yan Xi's eyes.
He clearly confirmed that she was in a daze before he made his move, yet she still noticed?
Yan Xi: "......"
When her purpose was exposed, Huali originally thought that the person in front of her would change like a face-changing act in Peking Opera, turning into a cold and ruthless big fish.
But a movie star is a movie star; even when exposed, he didn't panic at all and immediately launched into a dramatic performance.
Yan Xi's eyes instantly reddened, his humble posture like that of a believer begging for divine mercy, "My little benefactor... forgive me... it was my fault..." Every word was soaked with wet regret.
Ao Bai, standing to the side, exclaimed in amazement: "Wow!"
The beautiful mermaid raised her face, her shimmering eyes looking directly into Karin's, her innocent pleading enough to drown even the hardest heart, "I'm just so afraid you'll leave..."
"That Zhan Li appeared so suddenly... I was afraid he would take you away... that's why I brought you here..."
"So this is your home?" Huali interrupted him, turning to look at the pitch-black surroundings.
This hardware configuration is truly a waste of resources.
Even if a Little Mermaid doesn't have a deep-sea palace or pearl shell, she should at least have a coral cave with lush seaweed, right?
This is quite something, a former ocean idol turning into an underground dark-style contractor?
Huali, against her conscience, commented, "I didn't expect you to be so pragmatic. This place is indeed very secluded and easy to defend, but difficult to attack."
Yan Xi: "......"
Having already made some sense of it, Huali took out a small cushion from her Qiankun bag, sat cross-legged on it, and waved her hand with an air of authority, saying, "Come on, little bird, sit down. Now let me guess your motives."
"First of all, the fact that you went to such lengths to get close to me in this way shows that you need to stay by my side. So you must have something in mind, either treasure or people."
“But now that you’ve brought me here, the answer is obvious: you need me.” A glint flashed in the girl’s eyes. “That’s very interesting.”
"You were able to defeat Yuan Ting and bring me here without anyone noticing, which proves that your cultivation level is not low. Yet you would rather humble yourself than coerce me... Could it be because you are kind?"
The girl shook her index finger. "Obviously not, you're about to spill water."
Seeing Yan Xi's tear-filled pupils suddenly contract, Hua Li's lips curled into a wicked grin: "That means only I can handle this matter, and... it must be done while I am of sound mind..."
"So... do I need to volunteer?"
"Thud—"
The tears that had been hanging between Yan Xi's chins finally succumbed to the sudden tension and fell.
For a moment, the air froze.
All of the youth's movements—his humble groveling, his deliberate trembling, his damp breathing—vanished.
He was like a puppet whose strings had been removed, slowly, very slowly raising his head.
It was an extremely subtle movement, yet it carried a sense of heaviness as if mountains were collapsing.
As her wet, butterfly-like eyelashes lifted upwards, her eyes, which had been filled with innocent heartbreak just a moment ago, began to freeze and peel away inch by inch at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.
All the carefully applied warmth and alluring facades of vulnerability were completely replaced by inhuman emptiness and coldness.
He stared intently at the rosewood with a chilling scrutiny.
Yan Xi tilted his head slightly, "You...found out."
If it were anyone else under such cold and powerful pressure from a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator, they would probably have collapsed and trembled long ago. But the girl in front of them not only ignored it, but even nodded while resting her chin on her hand.
"Yes, so little bird, the game is over."
Huali imitated Yanxi's movements, leaning forward. Her eyes didn't flicker with fear, but rather with an indescribable excitement.
"Now..."
The girl's lips curled into a sly smile, and she said, word by word, "You have to listen to me."
