Chapter 54 Canglong snorted, "You wish."
He Xile is a person who knows how to adapt to life.
When he was diagnosed with a tumor and admitted to the hospital, he maintained this positive attitude, laughing all day long. Even when he developed various side effects from radiotherapy and chemotherapy, he did not complain at all.
——For He Xile, things have already happened and there is no point in complaining.
It’s better to open your arms and embrace life.
Even the director of the cancer hospital at the time praised He Xile for his good attitude.
Unfortunately, He Xile had a malignant tumor, so no matter how good his attitude was, it was useless.
He Xile shook his big tail again, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
For those who love fur, this tail is big and fluffy, feels comfortable to touch, and is very good.
As for any inconveniences, you will have to wait and experience them slowly in your daily life.
He Xile thought, if anything goes wrong in the future, I can just curse Canglong!
After admiring his own tail, He Xile turned his gaze towards the nutrient supplement that Canglong had thrown onto the bed.
The nutrient tube had an ingredient list, but it wasn't the ingredients He Xile was familiar with. With the terminal gone, only a basic translator remained on his wrist, making it impossible to check whether the nutrient was safe to consume.
He Xile was very cautious, as if testing poison. He stretched out his tongue tentatively and licked a little.
Sweet.
Does it taste okay?
Not far away, Canglong, who had seen He Xile's series of actions, sneered.
He was quick and decisive. He also took out a hose from the drawer and ate it in one breath as if to demonstrate.
He Xile relaxed a lot: "Thank you."
He took a bold bite.
Wuhu.
It’s quite delicious, with a jelly texture!
He Xile was like a hamster, quickly finishing the entire tube of nutritional supplement and indeed felt very full.
Patting his belly, He Xile was in a good mood.
He jumped off the bed and threw the hose garbage in his hand into the trash can. As he walked, his tail swayed unconsciously behind him, and he looked very comfortable.
After throwing away the garbage, He Xile comfortably returned to bed. He first tried lying flat on his back and found that the tail was actually quite good. It extended from the base of the coccyx, tucked into the crotch when lying flat, and then tilted up, so it was not as uncomfortable as he had imagined.
Sleeping on your side won't affect anything.
"good evening."
After He Xile finished speaking, he found a comfortable position and fell asleep peacefully.
——Perhaps it was the sequelae of fainting before, He Xile still felt a little uncomfortable, with a dull pain in his head, and was very sleepy. After a while, He Xile fell asleep.
Canglong: “…”
Canglong stood up and walked to the bed.
He Xile was seen lying on his side with his eyes tightly closed. His long eyelashes were curled up and his eyeballs did not tremble at all. Even his tail was draped quietly over his body, as if he was really asleep.
...How can this human still sleep?
He doesn't mind having an extra tail at all?
Canglong frowned slightly.
Many people in Hai Xinna hate their second characteristic.
He originally thought that this human would be traumatized and distraught after discovering that he had an extra big tail, but he didn't expect that the other party not only accepted it calmly, but also looked quite happy.
Just like this tail...
It is not as hateful as imagined, but rather a blessing.
Canglong fell silent.
He raised his hand slightly, and the light beside him dimmed immediately. Canglong stood in the darkness, his figure also hidden in it.
&
Early the next morning.
He Xile was awakened by a quarrel.
Sister Snake said unhappily, "Since we've already agreed on a price with the Cook family, we shouldn't go back on our word now. Although we're pirates, we still have to abide by the basic spirit of the contract. Otherwise, who would be willing to cooperate with us in the future?"
"But the price offered by that birdman is more than three times that of the Cook family."
The driver said, "Sister Snake, think carefully. With this money, what can't we do in the future? Why do we have to become space pirates and continue to live in fear and displacement? Besides, as long as the goods we have are valuable enough, there will be no shortage of people to cooperate with us."
"If you think like this, I will never work with you again."
Sister Snake said coldly, "We're all on the list now. It's not as easy as you say to quit. The most important thing is, who can guarantee that the goods in their hands will always be valuable?"
The driver was silent for a moment.
He said impatiently: "It was originally a temporary cooperation intention. Do you think we will cooperate in the future?"
"At least that's what I thought before." Sister Snake said in a steady voice.
Pilot: “You—”
Seeing the two people in front of him about to quarrel, Canglong stopped them in a low voice: "That's enough."
He said calmly, "Now that you're awake, get up."
The latter sentence was obviously directed at He Xile.
He Xile had no choice but to open his eyes: "Good morning."
He slept well last night. His headache and blurry eyesight were gone. The only drawback was that -
"A-choo." He Xile sneezed.
He has never been a very stable sleeper, and often turns around in bed while sleeping.
Last night too.
However, this restlessness changed from the whole body running around to the tail running around.
——The tail that was originally resting on He Xile's body somehow slipped from under He Xile's lap and moved to the front. In the second half of the night, He Xile slept with his hands tightly hugging the huge furry tail and resting his head on the tip of the tail.
Where there is hair, there is bound to be hair loss.
He Xile always feels his nose itchy now.
Damn it.
"How does it feel to have a secondary characteristic?"
Sister Snake asked with a smile.
He Xile replied seriously: "It feels good when I hold it to sleep. I shouldn't feel cold in winter. It just sheds a little easily."
Sister Snake: "I'll ask someone to give you a thorough wash later, and no loose hair will fall off."
"OK."
He Xile couldn't help but look at Sister Snake twice more.
The second characteristic displayed by the other party is petrification and a snake tail. How come he knows so much about the washing and care methods of furry animals?
Sister Snake seemed to know what He Xile was thinking.
She elegantly gathered her long hair. "You know, we're space pirates, the kind that are well-known on the global wanted list. Our second feature is too conspicuous, making it difficult to move around. That's why when we entered the imperial capital, Canglong..."
"Don't talk so much to him." Canglong stopped him.
Snake Sister shrugged.
He Xile understood it all at once.
——This tail is just a cover-up and can be removed later.
Last night, Canglong deliberately said that it couldn't be removed in order to scare He Xile.
Too.
He Xile will be sold to a third party by Canglong and others. The third party must have been attracted by He Xile's human identity, so they spent such a huge price to buy him. If they buy him, the human will have an extra tail, so what is the difference between him and the Haixinna people?
The value of human beings will definitely be greatly reduced.
Buyers and sellers will even fight on the spot.
Tsk.
Canglong is a person...
He looks very cold on the surface, but he also has such a bad taste?
He Xile couldn't help but look at the other person.
Canglong paused.
He shook his legs a little anxiously and stood up expressionlessly: "I'm going to buy something to eat."
Before going out, Canglong stayed at the door for a few seconds, and his whole body changed. He transformed into an ordinary-looking adult male with rabbit ears as his second characteristic.
He Xile: “!!”
Awesome!!!
The driver had just had an argument with Sister Snake and didn't want to stay in the room.
He said in a gruff voice, "I'm going out to get some fresh air and ask Old Huang about something."
Suddenly, only He Xile and Snake Sister were left in the room.
Sister Snake looked at He Xile and said with a smile, "Did that Canglong kid scare you last night?"
"Yes. He lied to me and said the tail couldn't be removed."
He Xile's eyes narrowed, "Sister, what is Canglong's second characteristic? Why does it have this ability?"
He Xile had known long ago that the Haixinna people possessed abilities brought by their second characteristic.
For example, being able to run fast, having a sharp nose, and having the ability to see from afar.
But he didn't expect that there would be someone who had the ability to disguise himself.
If this happened in modern society, wouldn't Canglong be making a killing? Those top makeup artists would have to step aside when they saw Canglong.
"Chameleon."
Sister Snake felt that there was nothing to hide. Anyway, they were all on the wanted list. When there was a chance, He Xile could check on the Internet and find out the specific situation of Canglong.
chameleon?
He Xile nodded in understanding.
He asked again: "But can't chameleons only change for themselves? How can they change for others?" Could it be that the chameleons on Haixinna are different from the chameleons on Earth?
“Puff.”
Sister Snake laughed and lit a slender lady's cigarette. "It's a long story."
After arranging her words, Sister Snake said, "That race of theirs was indeed only able to change color at first. But since you've lived in Haixinna for a while, you should know that because of the robots, human employment is actually more difficult there, right? Which position requires their color-changing ability? None. Under social pressure, their tribe gradually learned to disguise themselves."
She waved the white cigarette in front of her and sighed softly, "Otherwise I won't be able to find a job, won't be able to afford food, and will starve to death."
He Xile: “???”
Depend on.
Even interstellar society has begun to involute! ?
So horrible!!!
Sister Snake continued, "As for Canglong, he felt that simply disguising himself wasn't enough, so he took the initiative to study. After more than a decade of effort, he mastered the method of using his mental power to disguise others. However, this method consumes a great deal of mental energy, so he doesn't do it easily."
He Xile was very surprised.
From what Sister Snake said, disguising others is actually Canglong's unique skill???
That’s awesome!
&
Canglong came back from outside with a few tubes of nutrition in his hand and threw them on the table: "Let's make do with it for now. Where's the driver?"
Sister Snake replied: "He's out there getting some fresh air. He doesn't want to stay in the same room with me."
Canglong said "Oh" and turned around to see the human sitting on the bed with his tail in his arms, looking at him with an indescribable sympathy in his beautiful eyes.
Canglong immediately looked at the culprit: "What did you say to him?"
Sister Snake: "Nothing much, just talked about the current situation of your race."
Canglong: “…”
Canglong said calmly, "Didn't I warn you before? Don't talk so much."
"I know, I know. I won't say it again."
Sister Snake waved her hands, "I didn't make this up out of thin air, it's all stuff you can find online."
Canglong snorted softly.
The door was pushed open.
The driver walked in from outside, bringing in a chill.
He stamped his feet, pulled his clothes back, and said solemnly, "Hurry up, we have to speed up. I just went out and got some news from Old Huang. It is said that His Majesty has already destroyed Boss Ying's spaceship and has sealed off the entire Obsidian Planet. They are investigating it one by one. We can't keep the goods in our hands anymore, otherwise there is a high possibility of being caught. It is best to trade them as soon as possible, get rid of them as soon as possible, and leave after getting the money."
He asked, "How is it going? Have you decided who to sell the goods to?"
Sister Snake was stunned. "Boss Ying was taken down? His Majesty also sealed off the entire Obsidian Planet?"
Only one night had passed...
So fast?
"Hmm," the driver said, "It seems they mistakenly thought Boss Ying had taken the cargo, so they bombed his boat. They didn't expect to find out after they got aboard that the cargo wasn't with him."
He sighed, "Old Huang also told me that His Majesty angrily scolded Boss Ying on the spot, saying he was useless and couldn't even intercept the goods. Boss Ying was furious. Now Boss Ying has been arrested and imprisoned in the Imperial Prison."
Sister Snake: "...How miserable!"
He Xile, who was listening nearby: "..."
Boss Ying?
Is that the scarface one?
...Well, it's bad enough that I didn't intercept the goods from Canglong, but I was even ridiculed by His Majesty. It's really too miserable.
He Xile actually felt a little sympathy for the boss for a moment.
Canglong looked at He Xile and said calmly, "His Majesty is truly generous. He has sealed off the entire Obsidian Star. It seems that you are very important to him."
He wondered thoughtfully, could this be related to the fact that He Xile had previously relieved his mental pain?
"Forget about that. Let's first think about who to sell the goods to," the driver said. "My suggestion is Birdman. The money he gives us is enough for us to squander for a long time."
Sister Snake also became serious: "But the birdman is not on Obsidian Star now, and His Majesty is here again. Given the identity issues of both parties, the birdman will definitely not take the risk of coming here, so it's not a good deal. I suggest giving it to the Cook family. It will be more reassuring if the transaction is completed sooner."
"Don't hesitate."
"Make a decision quickly."
Canglong suddenly asked He Xile: "What do you think?"
He Xile: “?”
ah?
Do we need to ask the goods themselves about this kind of thing?
...Isn't this too humane?
He Xile was still holding on to his big tail. Seeing that the three people present were looking at him, he hesitated and asked, "Who are the buyers?"
Canglong opened the terminal and introduced, "One is the Cook family, the only remaining noble family on Obsidian Star. The buyer happens to be the head of the family, Joule, a renowned business tycoon. He offered ten billion. However, the family previously had a record of purchasing many handsome men from the black market. According to observations, those men have since disappeared, while the blood coral flowers in the back garden are blooming beautifully."
He Xile: “?”
There was a hint of threat in the words!
Canglong looked He Xile up and down: "Your appearance is indeed in line with Joule Cook's aesthetic standards. You are human and have no secondary characteristics... No wonder he chose to spend a lot of money to buy you."
He Xile: "...what about the other one?"
"It's a birdman."
Canglong scoffed. "Does the church know? Birdman is the church's former archbishop. Over a decade ago, Wen suddenly changed the law, forbidding church members from continuing to preach in Haixinna. He also destroyed all church-related structures and imprisoned most of the main members. The archbishop escaped with the help of members. We hadn't heard much about him before, but this time he couldn't hold back and showed up... He offered 30 billion to snatch you from the Cook family."
church?
Why would they buy him too?
Even at the risk of being exposed?
He Xile looked confused. He looked at Canglong and said, "Then, can I choose neither?"
Both sellers sound horrible!
One is a habitual offender who tortured beautiful boys and then dumped their bodies in the back garden. The other one is up to some unknown evil intentions, but he is very likely to use He Xile to deal with Wen Ji and Your Majesty.
He Xile didn't want to have any contact with these two people.
Canglong stared at He Xile.
He Xile said innocently, "Actually, I think you've narrowed the path. Don't forget, His Majesty is also very rich. Instead of bothering to contact the buyer, why don't we both win? Will you sell me back to His Majesty?"
Everyone: “…”
Canglong snorted, "You wish."
He Xile was unhappy.
He muttered, "You asked me to choose. And you didn't want me to choose. What kind of person are you..."
Sister Snake raised her hand to cover her red lips, but there was an unconcealable smile in her eyes.
However, He Xile's proposal cannot be adopted.
Although the three of them are space pirates, their strength is far inferior to that of His Majesty, who has SS mental power. If they really try to contact each other, it will probably not be a normal transaction between buyers and sellers, but they will be beaten unilaterally and thrown into prison for hundreds of years.
If you're unlucky, even Boss Ying is next door.
Inhumane!
