Chapter 187 Jishi Medical University 45
The young banyan tree spirit discovered that his palms were sweating profusely.
He is now... a plaything in Yu Naixin's hands.
Yu Naixin did not disappoint the young man from the banyan tree spirit, whose nerves were stretched to the limit.
After all the NPCs had left, Yu Naixin walked to the banyan tree and reduced the range of the butter lotus lamp's illumination to just enough to accommodate herself and the entire tree that had lost its aerial roots.
Yu Naixin's gaze swept lightly over the tree trunk: "What, want to be cut down again?"
She had to urge and beg him repeatedly.
The banyan tree spirit youth closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The most tense and anxious feelings had passed, and he began to calm down.
Yu Naixin was watching him intently from outside, and the young banyan tree spirit knew he couldn't escape her.
Rather than waiting for Yu Naixin to get impatient and actually chop the banyan tree in half, it's better to be dignified and go out on your own initiative.
Having experienced those things before, the young man from the banyan tree spirit didn't even subconsciously doubt whether Yu Naixin could cause such a great deal of destruction to his home turf.
Subconsciously straightening his collar and cuffs, the banyan tree spirit youth, with a death wish, vanished from the treehouse and appeared before Yu Naixin.
All the aerial roots of the banyan tree were cut off, leaving the area under the canopy empty and without any obstruction to the view.
The banyan tree spirit youth stood at the outermost edge of what was originally the aerial root forest, just one step away from Yu Naixin.
“…Miss Yu.” The banyan tree spirit youth’s voice was low and slightly hoarse. “You said…I want to thank you, what are you referring to?”
Yu Naixin glanced at him with some surprise.
She thought that even if the banyan tree spirit youth came out, he would be reluctant and continue to be a taciturn person, but she didn't expect him to be so cooperative and even took the initiative to talk to her.
Extending her right index finger, Yu Naixin pointed towards the giant banyan trees in the sky, whose roots were now just a tiny bit remaining: "Of course, it's to thank me for giving you a haircut."
[What?! I was still reveling in Yao Ling's incredible transformation into the headmaster, pondering the hidden meaning behind her somewhat riddle-like words to the banyan tree spirit, and this is it?!]
[Pfft, hahaha! Now I know why she has the nickname "Little Witch" in addition to "Big Demon King," it's so cute and playful!]
[“Yao Ling” was probably just joking around. Given Yao Ling’s style, almost every action she takes has more than just a superficial meaning, especially now that the entire dungeon is visibly nearing its end.]
The young man from the banyan tree spirit also didn't take Yu Naixin's joke seriously.
His lips were pressed tightly together, and his eyes, half-hidden by his bangs, were fixed intently on Yu Naixin, waiting nervously and attentively for her next words.
Seeing this, Yu Naixin clicked her tongue softly: "No fun."
The banyan tree spirit youth exuded a seriousness that said "I'd rather die knowing why," and Yu Naixin was too lazy to tease him anymore.
She dropped her nonchalant expression and looked seriously into the eyes of the banyan tree spirit youth, her peach blossom eyes curving into two crescent-shaped pools: "Before, when others looked at you, all they saw were dense aerial roots, not a trace of the trunk. But from now on, you can show your true face to everyone."
Even though he had prepared himself mentally, the young man from the banyan tree spirit still couldn't help but be startled by Yu Naixin's two sentences, causing his pupils to shrink sharply.
His lips moved, and the voice that finally came out trembled slightly: "...You know about my experiences in the outside world."
After saying that, the banyan tree spirit youth reiterated, "I understand it very well."
A few days ago, when he officially met Yu Naixin, the young man from the banyan tree spirit knew that Yu Naixin was quite familiar with his past, which exposed his biggest secret.
However, the young man from the banyan tree never expected that Yu Naixin's understanding of him would be so detailed, as if she had ripped open the deepest scars in his heart and dissected every muscle and every blood vessel.
The trunk was the birthplace of the banyan tree spirit's intelligence and the dwelling place of its soul. To hide and protect the trunk, it grew countless aerial roots, eventually transforming into a vast forest.
But... if they could, who would want to live a life of hiding and constant fear?
Yu Naixin once concluded that the young man from the banyan tree spirit was an out-and-out hypocrite, and the prerequisite for being a hypocrite must be knowing what a true gentleman is.
He was born amidst the fragrance of medicine and prayers in the clinic. He has witnessed the noblest qualities and the most compassionate hearts in the world, and he has heard the most devout prayers and the purest hopes. He understands what goodwill is.
Later, the banyan tree spirit youth followed suit, disguising himself as a savior of suffering gods to attract humans to offer him their flesh and blood.
So Yu Naixin targeted his most sensitive weakness.
Compared to the last time the two were together, the young man from the banyan tree spirit had taken much more initiative, but in the end, it was Yu Naixin who erased the last bit of distance between them.
Yu Naixin took a step forward, stood on tiptoe, and reached out to pinch the chin of the banyan tree spirit youth.
Then, apply a moderate amount of force and pull downwards.
Yu Naixin's heels touched the ground again, and with this action, the banyan tree spirit youth lowered his head and bent his waist slightly.
[Holy crap?! How did the little witch manage to make that move so... so captivating?! It's half coercion, half seduction; even I, watching from outside the screen, felt completely charmed, let alone the banyan tree spirit!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 16 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Village Head Slaughtered Pigs for Ten Years"!]
[The banyan tree spirit youth was clearly no match for them! Given their height difference, if the banyan tree spirit youth hadn't been cooperating, "Yao Ling" couldn't have so easily brought their faces to roughly the same level.]
[I highly recommend zooming in on the banyan tree spirit's face! His slightly bewildered yet obedient expression, perfectly complementing the demon king's sweet yet irresistible smile, creates an incredible contrast and tension! I'm totally shipping them!!!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 28 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Old Monk Wants to Eat Braised Pork"!]
Yu Naixin's nose almost touched the tip of the banyan tree spirit's nose.
The banyan tree spirit youth did not breathe like a human, and his body temperature was also lower than that of a human; the temperature transmitted through Yu Naixin's fingertips was somewhat cool.
Yu Naixin's warm breath, belonging to a living human, gently and softly landed on the face of the banyan tree spirit youth.
Cold and heat blend together, creating a misty atmosphere that belongs only to each other.
The banyan tree spirit youth: "...!!!"
For a moment, the banyan tree spirit's eyes widened in disbelief.
Whether in the second simulation or the official episode, Yu Naixin discovered that the banyan tree spirit youth was quite fond of his appearance.
Especially his own face; every time the two of them came into close contact, the banyan tree spirit youth would experience obvious emotional fluctuations.
With her advantages already in place, Yu Naixin naturally wanted to make good use of them.
The curve of her lips deepened, and Yu Naixin spoke to the banyan tree spirit youth in a whisper, "Mr. Banyan Tree, you've been through this program's alternate version many times, haven't you?"
"How many times? A hundred times? Two hundred times? Or more?"
"Facing the same environment time and time again, even after so much tireless effort, I've only managed to make the cage that confines me a little bigger. It's so hard and so difficult..."
Yu Naixin's voice is naturally sweet, and speaking in this way makes it even softer. Her breathy tone carries a heat that is even hotter than breathing, completely robbing the young banyan tree spirit of any remaining vigilance and resistance.
At this moment, the young banyan tree spirit stared at Yu Naixin's beautiful, smiling face, which was so close to him. His mind seemed to be filled with many thoughts, yet it also seemed to be completely blank.
At this moment, Yu Naixin finally revealed her true colors, her words soft and gentle: "If only I could take you with me... The outside world has changed by about ten years since you first learned about it, and there are so many new changes. I really want you to experience them too..."
"What a pity, you will continue to be trapped in this cage, unable to find release..."
[Huh? Huh?! Wait a minute, am I misunderstanding something? Is "Yao Ling" trying to bewitch the banyan tree spirit youth and indoctrinate him?! No, isn't the banyan tree spirit youth himself the biggest cult leader at "Jishi Medical University"? Good grief, brainwashing a cult leader?!]
[I was so busy admiring the little witch's beauty that I didn't notice, but it's true! I'll defeat you with your best move, an eye for an eye!]
[Hiss... The Great Demon King never explicitly stated anything, but every word, even the punctuation, was designed to entice the banyan tree spirit youth to quickly gain his full favor, thus ending this endless cycle of reincarnation. Its power was far greater than even a high-level charm spell!]
[First, they used words to win him over (although I honestly don't know the source or why, it's obvious the young man was swayed by "Yao Ling's" two sentences), then they struck while the iron was hot with their looks, and even made the "escaping the show's challenge," which is fatally attractive to the other guests, sound like they were wholeheartedly devoted to the young man. With these three tactics combined, I wouldn't be surprised if the young man actually reached maximum favorability!]
[It's not just three tubes; don't forget that the Great Demon King now holds the position of "Principal," giving him a natural authority over the banyan tree spirit youth. Furthermore, the Great Demon King likely possesses items or skills that enhance the efficiency of the raid, essentially employing five tubes simultaneously. How can the banyan tree spirit escape?]
No matter how gentle fangs may be, they are still not true honey.
The young banyan tree spirit regained some of his rationality, and a struggle appeared in his eyes.
Yu Naixin did not give him any more chance to calm down.
She tightened her grip on the banyan tree spirit's chin, turning what was originally a sensation closer to "itch" into one closer to "pain."
Their noses touched, their intimate gesture resembling that of lovers entwining their necks.
“I command you,” Yu Naixin’s voice returned to normal volume, her laughter tinged with wickedness, “to submit to me.”
