Chapter 140 Don’t Guess What the Boss Is Thinking
In the small courtyard under the scorching sun, a dragon and a man looked at each other.
The atmosphere was a little tense.
Shen Jiang opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't say anything.
The expressionless boss was only a few steps away from Shen Jiang. The boss had long legs, so he only needed a few steps to reach Shen Jiang.
Shen Jiang's breathing stopped, as if at this moment, time also stopped along with her breathing.
Everything around him slowed down in an instant, but so fast that Shen Jiang didn't have time to brainstorm or open his mouth to defend himself.
Shen Jiang stood there in a daze, watching the low-pressure Godwin walking towards her. His brilliant golden eyes exuded a breathtakingly cold aura, which made her heart tighten in an instant.
Sure enough, the first thing the other person did when he walked up to her was to raise his right hand.
The creepy feeling of fear he had when he first met the dragon came back to him. His legs felt like they were filled with lead, and Shen Jiang subconsciously closed his eyes.
However, the imagined power did not fall upon her. Suddenly, a shadow covered her head, and something gently stroked her forehead.
A very dissatisfied and angry voice came from the front: "Why are you standing here in the sun like an idiot?"
Shen Jiang opened her eyes suddenly and saw Godwin looking at her with concern. His deep golden eyes contained complex emotions that she could not understand.
Suddenly, the air seemed to flow again. The scorching sun overhead suddenly became more noticeable, and the noisy chirping of cicadas filled my ears once again.
Shen Jiang's heart was beating rapidly. She thought she was just too nervous. After all, a faster heartbeat is inevitable when faced with a life-or-death situation. But this heartbeat seemed subtly different from the nervousness-induced tachycardia she'd experienced before.
Godwin's obvious concern made Shen Jiang's heart ache. It was a mixture of surprise, guilt, and a few emotions that Shen Jiang himself was not aware of.
Shen Jiang looked at his boss with a complicated expression. He was looking at him with a worried look on his face. The speed at which the dark energy overflowed from his body slowed down. He seemed to really care about him.
But why?
With his almost cunning intelligence, it was impossible for him not to understand Su Qing's words. Those weeds he once dismissed as trash were now precious medicinal herbs in this world. With the Chinese medicinal herbs she had obtained from another world, she had revived her grandmother and revitalized Mingxin Hall.
She'd gotten something for nothing, deceiving him. Those false claims of being believers were initially driven by a desire to save their own skin, and later by the medicinal herbs. Given Godwin's free-spirited nature, wouldn't he have been furious at being deceived?
Why was he looking at me with such worried and distressed eyes?
Shen Jiang suddenly felt a little afraid to look directly into those eyes.
If Shen Jiang still found it a little unbelievable that the Black Dragon had given up the treasures he valued most just to be with her, then the other party's unreserved trust made Shen Jiang fully realize how sincere and partial Godwin's feelings for her were.
Shen Jiang silently avoided the unreserved and deep gaze, but this time she was not afraid that the other party would hurt her, but that she would hurt the other party.
Killing people and destroying their hearts. Although the dragon has always been invincible, his heart is no different from hers, it is also soft and fragile, and will be scarred by being betrayed and deceived.
Godwin saw that the believer looked sunburned, his face was pale, and large beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead and rolling down his skin. He did not look as smart as before.
As a fire dragon, Godwin has a natural affinity for high temperatures. In fact, his favorite thing these days, besides eating, is basking in the sun. The sunlight can clear the emptiness in Godwin's body and accelerate his recovery. But yesterday, a human fainted from the sun in the store made Godwin realize something: humans are a hundred times more fragile than he imagined. This abundant and scorching sun, which makes him feel comfortable, can also kill people for no apparent reason.
Believers say that weak humans who are sunburned have a disease called "heatstroke", and the ultimate cause is working in high temperatures under the sun for a long time.
Godwin didn't quite believe it at first, but he saw with his own eyes that the believers boiled some dry weeds into water and gave it to the red-faced dying human to drink. The human slowly opened his eyes and soon regained consciousness.
Now, the pale-faced believer had staring eyes, sweat all over his forehead, and looked shaky.
It’s just the sun that’s causing the problem!
Godwin became a little anxious. He was good at killing people, but it was really difficult for him to save people.
Godwin covered the believer's head with his hands and asked nervously, "Are you okay?"
Fortunately, Shen Jiang finally spoke.
Her mind was full of thoughts, but it was just a blink of an eye.
Shen Jiang: "I'm fine."
Godwin breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Jiang was full of doubts. She chose a tactful way to ask, "Lord Godwin, I wonder what she did to anger you?"
Godwin followed the believer's gaze and looked at the human lying on the ground, whose life or death was unknown. Disgust filled his face. "What a self-righteous foolish human! How dare she sow discord. She deserves to die."
Shen Jiang: “…”
For a moment, he almost forgot that this was a relatively "righteous" dragon. Godwin disdained all underhanded tactics, always seeking a real, direct confrontation. Su Qing probably never imagined she would be killed for such a reason.
But this is not the point. Just because Su Qing's method of sowing discord is too despicable, can Black Dragon ignore her deception?
Shen Jiang looked at Godwin, and he was also looking at her, but his eyes were playful, as if saying: This is my last chance for you, do you want to seize it?
Sure enough, the boss was not only angry because of Su Qing's gossip-mongering, he was killing the chicken to scare the monkeys to himself.
Things weren't really that simple. Shen Jiang remained silent for a moment, finally deciding to seek leniency for a confession. After all, the truth wouldn't disappear just because she was avoiding it. Even without Su Qing, Godwin would eventually discover the precious significance of those weeds in this world.
Shen Jiang took a deep breath and said, "Lord Godwin, I feel I should confess something to you. The weeds from your Longshan Mountain are indeed of extraordinary value..."
Godwin smiled faintly: "I know."
Shen Jiang looked as if he had seen a ghost. He knew? How could he know? Even if he knew, he wouldn't be angry?
Godwin was amused by her surprised and silly look, and asked casually and lazily: "Am I so stupid in your eyes? What you did is so obvious. I don't know it?"
Shen Jiang choked, hesitating about how to answer this question. In her eyes, Godwin was certainly very smart, but smart people hate being toyed with. Since he knew all this, how could he not react?
In fact, Godwin only learned yesterday that the weeds from his Dragon Mountain could be lifesaving for these humble, ant-like humans. A believer had carefully selected a few dry herbs from a cabinet, boiled them in water, and easily rescued the dying human from the clutches of death. The scene had left Dragon in awe, and even now, Godwin couldn't help but recall the radiance emanating from the believer.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that those weeds with no magical energy could have such a shocking use.
This answer solved many of the questions Godwin had after coming here, such as the cooperation between the believers and the factory, and the deeper reasons behind the believers' belief in themselves.
Although Godwin didn't understand what kind of energy the believers used from those weeds to be able to race against death with their weak human bodies, isn't it so cool!
The human girl who was considered cool by the dragon now had a brain freeze, which made it seem that she had nothing to do with coolness. But when Godwin looked at her, he discovered something new: she was so adorable with her eyes wide open.
Shen Jiang was a little confused. "Do you mind if I didn't tell you the value of these weeds?"
Godwin glanced at her sideways: "Do you think I will believe you if you say so?"
Shen Jiang: ...I guess they would think she is a lunatic.
After all, the wind dragon Quick had questioned her countless times why she was so obsessed with those useless weeds. Even her vampire brothers didn't quite understand. If it weren't for the temptation of the potion, they wouldn't have helped her pick herbs on the dragon's mountain.
Shen Jiang: "I thought you were so angry because I kept this a secret..."
Seeing her apprehensiveness, Godwin felt a sudden resentment in his heart and explained, "That noisy woman's self-righteous manner is so annoying. No one, not even a dragon, can speak like that in front of me."
He didn't say that he couldn't stand the woman's audacity to question the believer's feelings for him.
What does she know.
There are weeds on the hilltops of the dragons. Why doesn't Shen Jiang go to find them, but instead comes to be his follower?
And there was the little purple dragon that was filled with the believer's inner emotions. Why did she take the trouble to make a little purple dragon and muster up the courage to give it to him?
Of course, that’s because I love him so much!
Shen Jiang cast an indescribable look at Su Qing, who was lying on the ground like a rag doll: Anyone who dares to talk to the boss like this will definitely get a beating.
But Su Qing is the one who can't stand being beaten the most.
Shen Jiang walked to Su Qing and found that she was not dead yet. She didn't know if the boss listened to her and knew not to kill people, so the ruthless attack just now actually left the person alive.
As long as there's breath, Shen Jiang thought expressionlessly. At least now she doesn't have to bury the body.
Just treat it casually.
Su Qing woke up from a terrifying nightmare, gasping for breath: "No!"
The feeling of being suffocated by someone was so real that Su Qing still felt a dull pain in her heart.
She looked up and saw the side profile of a woman quietly flipping through a book not far away. Su Qing blurted out, "Shen Jiang, why are you here?"
Shen Jiang looked up from the book: "You just fainted in my yard."
Su Qing almost immediately recalled the horrific scene that happened that morning. She screamed, "He tried to kill me! I'm going to sue him for murder!"
Shen Jiang looked at Su Qing as if she was a fool, frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Su Qing rudely tore off her clothes to show her: "That madman, he punched me..."
However, Su Qing's words stopped abruptly. She looked at her smooth chest in horror, muttering to herself in disbelief, "How could there be... bruises?"
Shen Jiang cleared his throat and said seriously, "What nonsense are you talking about? You just had a heat stroke and fainted in the yard. Please go out and pay for the medicine. The total is two hundred and fifty."
