Chapter 411 A Little Stunned by the Curses
Xiao Yuye remained silent for a moment, then resigned himself to his fate, "You help me kill the old man, and I'll find a way to keep you alive."
Meng Shiwan pursed her lips. "Isn't that your grandfather? Even if you're not related, it doesn't mean you have to ask me, someone you've schemed against for so long, to kill him for you. How could you even bring up such a request?"
Xiao Yuye said seriously, "That's not my grandfather. He's a man-eating monster. He'll do anything to survive. I strongly suspect that the old man has been trying to capture you because he has something on you that can prolong life. He's very afraid of death, and all his research is for the purpose of prolonging life and living longer."
Meng Shiwan seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Does your grandfather have superpowers?"
Xiao Yuye shook his head, "No, neither did I. Neither of us has awakened any special abilities."
Meng Shiwan seemed to have figured something out. An old man who was afraid of death, had no superpowers, and wanted to live, and this old man had been trying to take advantage of her. This meant that the old man knew about the existence of the system, and even knew that as long as he was bound to the system, he could be given superpowers.
Just like in her previous life, Meng Qingyue, who was bound to the system, also had the ability to replicate.
Once you have superpowers, your physical abilities will be enhanced, which is more effective than any maintenance method. At the same time, the system can also make the host a king on this planet.
Exceptional qualities, absolute power and wealth—who wouldn't be tempted by that?
So, was the old man keeping an eye on her because he wanted the system?
So what is the function of the black cube?
Meng Shiwan asked Xiao Yuye, "And you? I'll help you kill the old man, what will you give me in return?"
Xiao Yuye shook his head. "I will help you. If you don't kill the old man, he might kill you. What I want to tell you is that I am on your side. I will help you with everything I can to kill the old man."
Meng Shiwan chuckled lightly, "Even if I fail, you won't lose anything. At worst, you can just keep dealing with the old man, right? Are you using me as a pawn?"
Xiao Yuye: ...
"Then tell me, what should I do for you to believe that I genuinely want to help you? If I didn't help you, do you really think you'd be safe coming to the Chuangyuan Base?"
Meng Shiwan stared at him and said, word by word, "From now on, we are in this together. If I die, you should shoot yourself the moment you die with me. Only if I live can we both get what we want."
She didn't trust Xiao Yuye.
If something really happens, Xiao Yuye's first reaction will definitely be to protect himself. Only by tying his life to her own can Meng Shiwan ensure that this person will do everything he can to help her.
Without hesitation, Xiao Yuye replied, "Fine, let's cooperate. If you die, I'll die too. That way you'll trust me, right?"
But after saying that, Xiao Yuye felt that something was wrong.
Meng Shiwan is dead. Why did he commit suicide? When did they develop such a deep affection for each other?
Deep down, he knew that if Meng Shiwan died, he had to die too, he had to do it. So no matter what, he absolutely could not let anything happen to Meng Shiwan during her time at the Chuangyuan Base.
Meng Shiwan smirked, "It's been a pleasure working with you. Let's go."
To be honest, this control-type ability is really useful in crucial moments.
Sai Xishi drove behind Xiao Yuye's car, heading towards the Chuangyuan Base.
They first passed through a gate, and then began to spiral downwards, entering the depths of the underground.
After stopping in a parking lot, Xiao Yuye led the two of them down in an elevator into an extremely luxurious area.
You can see bodyguards stationed here every now and then; the security is extremely tight.
Xiao Yuye glanced back at Meng Shiwan, then mustered his courage and pushed open the door in front of him.
On the sofa inside, sat an old man with white hair and a hunched back. On the tea table in front of him, fragrant tea was steaming, and there was an incense burner burning beside him.
Hearing the noise behind him, the old man turned around and saw the three of them. He smiled warmly and said, "This must be Miss Meng. I heard you brought a lot of crops with you this time. That's wonderful! My old bones are too weak to stand up. Please forgive me."
He spoke politely, but his eyes gleamed with cunning.
The way he looked at Meng Shiwan wasn't like he was looking at a person at all; it was as if he had seen some kind of magic elixir.
That look annoyed Sai Xishi, and she immediately launched into a tirade, standing in front of Meng Shiwan.
"Oh, so you can't even stand up now? What's the point of having a cane next to you if you can't stand up? Is it just for admiring? You don't think you can neglect my Wanwan like that. You should know that inland, everyone who sees my Wanwan has to respectfully call her Base Commander. And you, can't you even stand up to greet her?"
Those who know you just think you've gotten old; those who don't might think you've broken your leg.
Our crops from the Dawn Base are always snapped up wherever they're sent. Our base manager personally delivered them to your base, and instead of welcoming us, you're putting on airs? If you're not genuinely interested in buying, we'll leave now. It's no big deal; nobody cares about selling to you.”
Old Master Xiao: ...
Over the years, he has acted like a local tyrant, and no one has ever spoken to him like that before.
Sai Xishi's attack left him somewhat bewildered.
Xiao Yuye stood to the side, trying his best to keep a straight face, but he almost burst out laughing.
Meng Shiwan pursed her lips, trying her best not to laugh, and pushed aside Sai Xishi who was blocking her way. "You can't say that. We're all business partners. It's okay. After all, I'm old and useless now. We have to understand."
Grandpa Xiao: ? ? ?
Sai Xishi stood beside Meng Shiwan like a sycophant, saying, "I told you, Wanwan, you're too kind. You're the base leader now, you should have some class. How can you let people treat you like this? Our vegetables aren't unsellable, why do we have to sell them to some old geezer?"
Grandpa Xiao: !!!
An old geezer? Who are you talking about? Who's the old geezer?
How dare this ugly freak call him a decrepit old man?
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth so hard he almost bit off his loose molar.
Old Master Xiao took a breath and instructed the middle-aged man who had been standing quietly beside him, "Butler Liu, bring out the best tea."
Butler Liu invited Meng Shiwan to sit down next to him and brewed her a pot of fine tea.
Meng Shiwan glanced at it but didn't drink it. Instead, she asked the man in front of her, "Grandpa, Xiao Yuye said he'd trade the black cubes for crops. Is this deal still going to happen?"
Grandpa Xiao exclaimed in surprise, "A black cube? Do you know what a black cube is used for? What do you need it for?"
