"Wang Xiaohai, why are you here in the Kingdom of Bestan?" Dai Li looked a little flustered, but there was a hint of happiness in her voice. She didn't know if it was because she met an acquaintance or something else. She didn't expect to meet Wang Xiaohai in such an awkward way.
Wang Xiaohai felt a little surprised - it seemed that this noble princess had changed a lot in recent days, and she didn't even despise him or call him a hooligan.
"Are you looking for a job?" Wang Xiaohai said, "I have a job too. I'm not sure if you'd like it, but I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the salary."
Blackhearted Billy's eyes flashed coldly—how dare this guy steal the woman he'd set his eyes on? He'd noticed a beautiful woman had come here a few days before, and he'd slowly been plotting to make it difficult for her to find a job. In the end, she had no choice but to beg him for help, and then she'd fallen into his own trap. He hadn't expected such a troublemaker to show up and ruin his plans!
"Hey, kid, don't you know this place belongs to me?" Blackheart Billy said angrily, "I'm the only one who can hire workers here."
"Who made this rule?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"It's a government regulation," said Blackheart Billy. "I've paid on time every month."
"Oh, but why should I obey your government's regulations?" Wang Xiaohai said, "I'm not a fool. Why should I obey something that is obviously disadvantageous to me?"
Blackhearted Billy was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Wang Xiaohai to be so arrogant and despise the government of the Kingdom of Bestan!
"Are you trying to rebel?" Black-hearted Billy pointed at Wang Xiaohai.
"Is hiring a worker considered rebellion?" Wang Xiaohai asked. "If you say so, then so be it."
Dai Li felt very embarrassed, so she quietly left the crowd and returned to her room. The moment she closed the door, Wang Xiaohai slipped in.
"Little rascal, get out!" Deli tried to push Wang Xiaohai out, but to no avail.
"I'm curious. With your level as a beginner warrior—I mean, a warrior—why would you be so afraid of someone who isn't even a warrior?" Wang Xiaohai asked. "You could kill him with just one slap."
Dai Li didn't want to talk to Wang Xiaohai, she just kept crying.
Wang Xiaohai remembered - the entire country of Lorraine was destroyed, and everyone turned into mutated monsters waiting to die, including Deli's parents and brothers. Their families were broken up overnight, and no one could bear it, and everyone would be sad!
"Don't be discouraged, the mutated virus is not incurable," said Wang Xiaohai.
"Don't try to comfort me. The Dingwen Church has sealed off the border, leaving Lorraine to fend for itself. I sneaked back a few days ago and was caught by the Knight Patrol. All my belongings were confiscated. They were planning to kill me according to Church regulations, but just then, a swarm of mutant monsters swarmed out of Lorraine and rushed towards the border. The Knights panicked and went to hunt the mutants, and I took the opportunity to escape," said Deli. "If they could have saved me, the Dingwen Church would have done it long ago."
"It's not that the Vatican can't save us, but the price to pay is too high, so there's no need to save us," said Wang Xiaohai.
"You're talking nonsense, there's no way to save him!" Deli yelled.
"Yes, because this mutated virus wasn't directly radiated by the statue, but rather spread through infection, the mutation isn't very effective," Wang Xiaohai said. "As long as the infected person's blood is replaced with the blood of a Holy Knight, there's a chance of recovery."
Deli was speechless for a moment - the Holy See's Glorious Knights were more precious than the king's life. If the Pope was asked to choose between the lives of a hundred kings and one Glorious Knight, the Pope would undoubtedly choose the Glorious Knight. So what Wang Xiaohai said about using the Holy Knight's blood to replace the infected people was simply impossible, not even the king could do it!
"You said it as if you hadn't said anything." Dai Li no longer paid attention to Wang Xiaohai and turned to tidy up the things on the tattered mat on the bed. It was simple, just a few pieces of clothing. "Why are you still staying here? Are you planning to laugh at me?"
"No, why don't you accept my advice?" Wang Xiaohai said, "Your life isn't good right now. Haven't you eaten in a long time?"
"What's the difference between you and that Black-Hearted Billy? You're both just attracted to my beauty," said Delly. "Neither of us is a good person. If possible, please stay away from me. Also, if you want to see how miserable I am and laugh at my jokes, please stand back and watch."
"Okay, I can't help what you said." Wang Xiaohai said helplessly, "If life asks you to choose between me and Blackheart Billy, who will you choose?" He still has confidence in himself. He is younger, stronger and smarter than Blackheart Billy. Anyone who is not blind knows how to choose.
"I don't choose either one. I choose to leave this place so that neither of you can find me." Deli said, walking out of the house with a cloth bag of clothes on her shoulder.
"If there is a family member you particularly care about who is still alive, I can save his life." Wang Xiaohai said, looking at Deli's cloth bag with two patches.
"I don't need your pity, a hypocrite. I have nothing now except my body. You are just waiting for me to exchange my body with yours. Besides, who knows if you are lying to me? You are cunning and treacherous. You are not trustworthy at all." When Deli heard the word "family", her pace slowed down, but she still answered firmly. She didn't want to use herself to make a deal.
"Aren't you trading your body for someone you marry in this life?" Wang Xiaohai said. "According to probability theory, it would take more than 10,000 years to find the perfect partner for you, while the average human lifespan is only about a hundred years. So don't hold out hope; just choose the one who's most beneficial to you in this transaction."
"What probability theory? You're just talking nonsense to fool girls. This trick won't work on me. If I can't find true love, I'd rather be single for the rest of my life." Deli retorted.
