Chapter 28 Chapter 28 How can I compare with you? How...
How can I compare with you? How can I compare with you?
I wanted to be angry, but he praised me. I wanted to be angry, but he said that those flowers could not compare with me. I wanted to be angry, but he smiled... He liked me more than those flowers!
Sada coughed dryly, his face flushing slightly. He stopped staring at Bai Tianming, blinked, and said, "Since you put it that way, I don't necessarily have to argue with some fickle demons. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Bai Tianming thought about it and thought that after a while, the flowers planted before should all bloom. With so many demons and humans here, maybe he could ask them to buy some back. After that, he could plant more land and more flowers.
It won't be boring then.
Anyway, these humans have come here, and it would be a pity to let them leave empty-handed. If they want to come back and cause trouble again, it would be a big loss if we do nothing now.
Why not ask them to buy some flowers?
"If you're willing," Bai Tianming blinked and smiled, "you can first level the land here, then help me plant flowers and figure out how to sell them."
"After all," Bai Tianming paused and explained, "it's a pity that such beautiful flowers are enjoyed by only me."
Hearing him say this, Sada couldn't help but become interested: "Even you say it's beautiful, it must be very beautiful. Can you take me to see it when you have time?"
"Okay." Bai Tianming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he no longer mentioned returning to hell. He smiled and nodded.
Sada retracted his wings, looked at the humans not far away, and whispered to Bai Tianming, "You said you wanted to sell flowers. How about selling them to them? I heard that humans like flowers."
"You can try." Bai Tianming smiled.
Sadah nodded.
Not far away, the humans who saw Bai Tianming and Sada huddled together and talking in low voices looked at each other, feeling that their hope of leaving was slim, and tried to quietly move to the side of the gap and leave secretly.
As long as they didn't get permission, they wouldn't have to worry about their request being rejected. Although leaving secretly was risky, it was much less risky than staying here, so they made the decision.
They approached the gap, and just as they were trying to climb over it and return to the place they were familiar with, they felt a powerful force stop behind them.
Everyone stopped, as if frozen by that power, motionless, not knowing whether to continue moving forward or turn around.
They wanted to keep going forward, but they felt that if they continued forward, they might get their heads chopped off. But if they had to turn around, they felt like the protagonists or cannon fodder in a horror movie. If they turned around, they would see ghosts and then be killed.
Why is it a dead end no matter how you look at it?
People looked at each other, and finally, it was the director who turned around and was the first to look behind him, with a heroic posture and an expression of being ready to die.
Behind them stood Sada and Bai Tianming.
Bai Tianming smiled at them, just like when they first arrived and saw Bai Tianming sitting under the tree, holding a cup of water and smiling at the water in the cup. It was very natural and gentle, without any aggression, just like an ordinary old man in the field.
Although Bai Tianming tried his best to be friendly, people really couldn't believe that he was friendly. It was because his own strength was too strong. In addition, next to him was Sada who did not hide his equally strong strength. The two powerful forces intertwined and collided. Just facing such a powerful force, they felt trembling and could hardly stand upright.
No matter how gentle the expression on the other person's face is, they will only feel that they are about to die and the other person is just sending them off with a smile. It's better not to do it!
Although they knew very well that if Bai Tianming didn't smile, they would only be more afraid, but now, they seemed to have nothing else to do, so they could only feel anxious.
They kept guessing in their minds the purpose of the two people approaching. No one dared to speak. The crowd was very quiet. The director looked at them and felt that they would not speak.
The director sighed inwardly. Between the smiling Bai Tianming and the half-smiled Sada, he looked at the smiling Bai Tianming. He thought, between two evils, he'd choose the lesser of two evils. This one seemed easier to get along with. Shouldn't he be too bad at talking?
"Is there anything wrong with you two?" The director took a trembling step forward, feeling that all the bones in his body were almost crushed by the two powerful forces opposite him. Even if this was not the intention of the opponent, but he was just too weak, he also deeply felt the strength of the opponent, and fear arose in his heart, but since he had already walked out, he could not remain silent. Therefore, his face was as pale as paper, but he still forced a very reluctant smile and asked tentatively.
"I want to talk to you about something." Bai Tianming was surprised by their fear and blinked, but he still tried his best to smile and said.
It's not that he doesn't know how powerful he is in this land; he is very clear about that. However, he feels that he has restrained himself enough and really doesn't know what else to do.
After all, before meeting these humans, the other things around him did not have a deep fear of him because of how powerful he was, so it was difficult for him to experience the situation firsthand.
"You say." The director took a deep breath, feeling his scalp tingling. He forced a smile on his face, bent slightly, his voice almost trembling, cold sweat oozing from his forehead, but he didn't lie down yet, maintaining a very polite and respectful tone.
They're not dead? That's amazing! I've never felt so lucky. Awesome! Maybe everyone will survive today? It's still a slim chance, but it's better than nothing, and it seems like hope is growing!
The person on the other side shouldn't be some ruthless villain. Although they have a strange connection to the devil, they don't look completely human, nor completely devilish. And with that name, maybe, maybe they can escape?
The director was in a very complicated mood. In order to avoid revealing his thoughts, he lowered his eyes, which made him appear more respectful and without the slightest dissatisfaction or intention of resistance.
Bai Tianming clearly sensed his fear, but seeing that he didn't retreat or go crazy, he felt a little admiration for him. His smile became more sincere, and he said in a gentle voice, "To be honest, I planted some flowers on this mountain. They've bloomed recently and are really beautiful. It's a pity that they only grow here. Would you like to buy some to take home?"
The director took a deep breath.
Such a powerful person kept us here just to let us buy some flowers? What kind of flowers are worth such a fuss?
He couldn't help but think of the extremely beautiful and delicious flower cake he had bought home many years ago at the cost of most of his fortune. It tasted so good that it was unforgettable.
At that time, he held the flower cake in his hands and smelled the fragrance of flowers wafting out of the cake. He almost trembled all over and his face flushed. He took a bite and it was sweet, fresh and pleasant, as if he had swallowed fresh flowers. The feeling of happiness floated out from every part of his body. It couldn't be any better, so much so that the small and narrow house at that time became extremely cute.
He felt that there was nothing more delicious in the world and he would remember the taste for the rest of his life. However, now, facing two such powerful beings, he was a little shaken.
Is there anything in the world that tastes better, is more beautiful, and smells better than that? Perhaps those flowers are inedible. That would be a shame.
Or perhaps something that looks like a flower but is actually quite powerful? For example, a Piranha plant, a giant-mouthed plant, a strange flower with floating balloons, or a strange flower covered in human heads? Actually, if someone is not afraid of death and is genuinely curious, those things can be eaten, but they generally don't taste very good.
The director frowned. The thought of eating something so disgusting and horrible made him feel like his life was over. He instantly felt like the sky was falling, and his face turned yellow-green.
Bai Tianming didn't wait for his answer and was a little confused: "Don't you want to?" If you don't want to, you can leave. At worst, you can find someone else next time. Anyway, this time, I just wanted to save trouble.
"No, no, no!" The crowd almost jumped up and shouted, "We want to, we want to!" They did this because they thought they would be killed if they said they didn't want to.
Under the threat of death, they are of course eager to find a chance to survive. No matter how ridiculous the chance seems, they will give it a try. People are always like this.
The director came to his senses, nodded, took a deep breath, suppressed all the regrets in his heart, and forced a sincere smile, as if he could really accept eating something made from extremely disgusting and ugly flowers. He said in a firm voice, "We do!"
Although after saying this, he almost fainted when he thought about how disgusting the food he might eat was, his face turned pale and blue. If it weren't for a group of people behind him supporting him, he might really lie on the ground, his body trembling slightly, his eyes looking at the sky, as if his soul had drifted away.
For the first time, he desperately wished he were lying in a coffin right now, because if he was lying in a coffin now, no one would be able to make him eat the disgusting food he hated.
He didn't even have to resist the pressure of two such powerful forces. He used his trembling legs to walk in front of the crowd, his face as pale as a vampire, to look at the flowers not far away, not knowing what kind of flowers they were.
He tried hard to suppress his urge to vomit. After a period of trekking that felt extremely difficult and arduous, he suddenly discovered that the two people in front of him had stopped.
