Chapter 170 Shut Up
Robert made a fool of himself in the livestream. Initially, he acted dismissive, as if talking to Lin Xi was a blessing. Then, realizing that Lin Xi wasn't like those believers at all, and wasn't convinced at all, and even dismissive, he panicked.
A "big shot" like him probably never crawled on the ground and looked down upon others. So after panicking, Robert didn't choose to speak kindly and plead with Lin Xi to take him away. Instead, he threatened her, telling her that if she didn't do as he said, he, a loyal believer, would make her regret it.
Lin Xi asked with great interest, "How do you regret it?"
"Your parents and family will be sent down to accompany you without a single one left behind!"
Hearing this, Lin Xi found it even more amusing. Sure enough, with a world population of over eight billion, it wouldn't be worth it if there weren't a few idiots. But Lin Xi hadn't expected the leader of a religious sect to be such a moron. Lin Xi wasn't a particularly powerful figure, so her trajectory from childhood to adulthood wasn't difficult to trace. Even after the state intervened and classified her file as top secret, it shouldn't have been difficult for the upper echelons of the American Federation, or for those who could influence Aaron Jones to send him the assassination order against SC, to investigate.
It's no secret that both her parents had passed away and that she had a falling out with her relatives after receiving the compensation.
As for her family, after her parents died, her only family member was Shen Sang Ning.
Unfortunately, Shen Sangning had already transformed into a ghost, so there was no need for Robert's followers to send him down to accompany him. Lin Xi smiled mockingly and said without fear, "Oh, I'm so scared."
No matter how stupid Robert was, he realized that Lin Xi was not afraid of his threats. Threats didn't work, so he could only use bribes. At first, he talked about giving money, and Lin Xi asked him directly how much he could give. He said he was willing to exchange his entire fortune for his life.
But Lin Xi realized from his eyes that he was lying. His promise of giving away all his wealth was just a temporary solution. If she truly believed it, she would be abandoned. His inducements were actually not very tempting at all, because the government really gave a lot. The rewards and consolation money given for each level cleared were enough for Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning to spend several lifetimes together. Real-world money held no appeal to Lin Xi at all.
On the contrary... money is more important in the world of Rules and Stories. From the Werewolf Killing copy to now, Shen Sang Ning has obviously become confused again. Now he has returned to normal, relying on the 300,000 yuan given by the funeral home to support the scene. Even if it has returned to normal now, we can't take it lightly. Once we are short of food and silver, we may become a stupid Ning Ning again.
So, making money is really an important thing.
After the money proved useless, Robert became truly anxious. Cold sweat streamed down his forehead, and his movements became somewhat exaggerated. He stretched out his hands to Lin Xi, his hands spread wide, his fingers spread apart due to nervousness. "Then what do you want? I can give you anything!"
His eyes fell on Shen Sangning, and he gritted his teeth and said directly: "If you don't want money, women! Do you want women? Don't you like women? You can have any woman no matter how beautiful she is! Anyway, she can only stay in this world. After returning to the real world, I can give you many women, whatever you want!"
"If you change your mind, you can have a man too!"
When Shen Sangning said this, she couldn't help herself and wanted to pounce on him and tear him apart on the spot. Lin Xi grabbed Shen Sangning's hand and comforted his wife first: "Ningning, do you believe me?"
Shen Sangning paused, but still pulled Lin Xi's hand and floated back, then nodded: "I believe it." Lin Xi would never fall in love with someone else, she belonged to him, Shen Sangning was absolutely sure of this. So she suddenly wasn't so angry anymore, and instead surrounded Lin Xi.
Robert saw Lin Xi holding Shen Sang Ning, but thought that Lin Xi was moved. He was about to continue, "There are many women who are prettier than her..."
But all he could say to Robert was two words: "Nervous." At this moment, Robert was like a duck with its throat strangled, unable to speak.
Learning to curse like Sun Ke was actually quite satisfying. Lin Xi didn't intend to call it a day after just one curse. He had already offended both her and Shen Sang Ning so much, it was impossible not to teach him a lesson.
Lin Xi clenched his fist and said to Robert, "You'd better shut up now." Before Robert could react, he saw Lin Xi striding towards him with his fist raised high. As Robert widened his eyes and prepared to fight back, Lin Xi's fist hit Robert's face accurately.
Robert, a heavyset adult man, was unexpectedly knocked to the ground by Lin Xi's fist. He covered his face for a long time, unable to recover. Fortunately, at that moment of being hit, he remembered Lin Xi's words "Shut up", otherwise it would have hurt him even more. Robert subconsciously wanted to roar in anger, but Lin Xi's voice was calm and composed.
"Think it over. If you're yelling now, do you still want your other eye?" This was also why Lin Xi asked him to shut his mouth. If you close your mouth and clench your teeth, getting punched in the face won't hurt as much. This is also why boxers wear braces. Otherwise, if you open your mouth and relax your teeth and get hit in the face, your teeth might fly out, which would be very painful.
If it hurts too much, a loser like Robert might scream and attract the nurse. The nurse now is different from before. She will never let Robert go so easily and will let him die.
Robert had to die, but not now. She wanted Robert to die according to her plan.
Robert choked. He had just been punched, and even a little blood seeped through the bandage. He really wanted to curse at that moment, but he held it in. Because no matter how much Lin Xi's beating hurt, it was just pain. If the nurse came, he would feel more than just pain.
Lin Xi was kind enough to provide Robert with some information: "By the way, the threat value of ghosts has increased. As time goes by, the dungeon will become more and more difficult, and that's the case now. If you want to survive, don't break the rules."
"You should thank me. I helped you get rid of that old man in the same ward as you. At least you don't have to suffer from your fellow patients."
Lin Xi had really used a lot of force in that punch just now. As a judoka, Lin Xi's punching power and speed weren't particularly impressive, but it was more than enough to deal with someone like Robert. She shook her wrist, flexed her fingers, took a deep breath, and sighed, "Awesome!"
She turned to look at Shen Sangning: “Let’s go and have some snacks.”
The dungeon was mostly oppressive, and even someone as carefree as Lin Xi would unconsciously rein in some of his inner strength. He wouldn't rein in much, but even if he did, he couldn't do his usual training, as it might trigger some rules. Lin Xi wasn't afraid of ghosts, and he tried not to get himself into trouble.
It was rare for someone to be hit directly in the face without restraint, so Lin Xi was really happy. After the fun, it was time to eat something to cheer himself up.
They lined up the snacks in the ward, and Lin Xi started gorging on them, showing off. Shen Sang Ning didn't stop her, but waited until she'd taken several bites before saying, "Lin Xi, you haven't been exercising lately. Be careful not to gain weight." Lin Xi paused, grinning and trying to get away with it, "Oh, I'll exercise when I get back to the real world. I even have a special soldier coaching me."
Shen Sang Ning was silent for a while, and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pinch Lin Xi's cheek: "Did you really not hear clearly or pretend not to hear clearly, I am inviting you to exercise."
Lin Xi was stunned, and she was even more stunned. She secretly took two more bites, but felt something was wrong and put it down again. She looked up at the big eyes, then at Shen Sangning: "This is not good, right? It's too exciting."
It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved by what Shen Sangning brought up. Previously, Lin Xi had always felt she couldn't be a beast, so she had always been self-disciplined and respectful towards the naive Shen Sangning. Now that Shen Sangning had brought it up, Lin Xi's heart was pounding.
But Lin Xi could imagine that the live broadcast room must have exploded.
[Ahhh what kind of exercise?! Is it what I thought it would be?!]
-_-!
[Is my CP finally going to hit a home run?! I’m so excited! ]
[As mentioned above, your couple has already hit a home run. They have been living together for a long time in real life. I don’t believe that they haven’t hit a home run.]
[It's normal now, you can go ahead, Lin Xi, hurry up, what are you waiting for? ! ]
[Why is it not so good? What's wrong with excitement? We want to see excitement! ]
[I don’t mean to discourage you, but it’s very likely that you won’t even see it.]
Shen Sangning heard the reluctance in Lin Xi's words. She supported herself on the bed and raised her head to look at Lin Xi: "Then do you want to?"
Chen Sangning's naughty side was clearly revealed at this moment, and Lin Xi blushed: "I do." How could she not want to? It had been so long, and Chen Sangning had always been by her side. She longed to touch Chen Sangning, kiss her hair, stroke her skin, and let her make beautiful sounds under her touch.
What Lin Xi didn't want was to be seen by other ghosts or other people.
Chen Sangning knew what Lin Xi was thinking, so she held Lin Xi's hand and leaned towards her: "Lin Xi, my dear, don't worry about anything, I'm here."
With Chen Sangning's words, Lin Xi felt relieved. Her hand spun up and held Chen Sangning's, interlocking their fingers. At this moment, Lin Xi was like a little wife, shyly saying, "Hmm!"
After that, Lin Xi felt a little dizzy, and her steps were unsteady. When Sun Ke came to buy cigarettes from her during the afternoon walk, he was absent-minded. She handed over a pack and said, "One hundred."
Sun Ke thought he had misheard: "You mean one hundred per pack?"
"Yes." Lin Xi was still laughing foolishly, not realizing that he had said the wrong thing. Brother Sun Ke would never give Lin Xi a chance to regret. He threw down a hundred dollars, took the cigarette and ran away.
