Chapter 251 How to kill her?
“Mmm!! Mmmmm—”
Pei Jingxu raised his chin high, the provocation and viciousness in his eyes not diminishing: "Oh, I forgot, you can't speak now."
In fact, Pei Jingxu remembered that in the original plot, there was no mention of the heroine's "system" at all, as if it appeared out of thin air.
Combined with what Bai Shutong said to her before she left the city, Pei Jingxu was certain that Bai Shutong must be dissatisfied with the ending of the original plot where she failed to subdue Rong Jianxue, so she started a new round of the plot with her so-called "system".
Pei Jingxu tilted his head slightly, his eyebrows curved, and he let go of the hand that was holding Bai Shutong's chin, and raised the corner of his lips: "Since you can't speak, why don't I talk now and you listen."
Pei Jingxu leaned forward slightly and looked at the disheveled Bai Shutong in front of him, his eyes wandering over her.
She did bleed a lot, the dungeon tiles were stained dark red, and the steel nails on the stone wall were dripping with blood.
If these bloodstains were based on the blood volume of a normal person, he should have died from excessive blood loss long ago.
But now, although Bai Shutong looked disheveled, he was in good spirits. Even though the steel nails pierced his wrist bones, he showed no signs of fainting.
Narrowing his eyes, Pei Jingxu raised the corners of his lips: "Let me guess, even if you have an immortal body, there must be conditions, right?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Shutong's pupils contracted violently and he looked at Pei Jingxu in disbelief.
Pei Jingxu knew that he had guessed right.
From the information revealed by Bai Shutong at that time, Pei Jingxu guessed that as the "female protagonist", Bai Shutong could not kill anyone.
In other words, this story also has restrictions on Bai Shutong, the heroine.
The restrictions are also easy to guess, because she is the heroine, so she must be pure and kind, tenacious, and must save the dying and the wounded, and help the world.
So, she can't kill anyone.
Following this line of thought, I continued to guess that the "system" gave her a body that would not die easily, and there must be conditions for this.
——Only the protagonist will not die easily.
Only the protagonist can turn danger into safety and turn misfortune into good fortune when encountering various crises and dangers.
So, Pei Jingxu made a bold guess.
"Bai Shutong, I was wondering," Pei Jingxu said with an innocent smile, "if you were no longer the protagonist of this story, could I kill you?"
If she loses the so-called "halo of the heroine", this storyline will no longer exist for her. Does that mean that Bai Shutong is no different from other people and can be killed!
In the past few days, Pei Jingxu received some news from Jiang Hui.
Rong Jianxue seemed to have discovered Bai Shutong's "specialness" earlier than her, so he had been secretly sending assassins to assassinate her.
But every assassination attempt ended in failure.
I heard that there were several times when the assassins clearly admitted to stabbing her throat, but not long after, she would be found by others, treated, and soon recovered.
——This is the “halo of the heroine”.
But what if Bai Shutong is gone?
Pei Jingxu narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Shutong in front of him. Bai Shutong's eyes were bloodshot!
She couldn't form any words and could only hum and moan.
Pei Jingxu listened to her and roughly understood what Bai Shutong said.
She said, "Pei Jingxu, you're dreaming! I will always be the protagonist of this storybook!"
Pei Jingxu's expression remained unchanged, but the next second, he suddenly pulled out a sharp silver hairpin from his head and instantly inserted it into Bai Shutong's chest!
"laugh--"
Blood was gushing out.
The hot blood spurted onto Pei Jingxu's face, splashing onto her fair eyes and eyebrows. Pei Jingxu had an indifferent expression, lowering her eyes to observe her wound.
Bai Shutong wailed incoherently.
The fatal wound on her chest healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a bloody scar.
Pei Jingxu frowned, stood up and kept some distance from her.
It seems that, at least for now, she is still the recognized "female protagonist" of the story.
Realizing this, Pei Jingxu's face became cold and gloomy.
Bai Shutong's face was pale. She stared at Pei Jingxu and let out a howl similar to that of a wild beast, as if she was provoking and mocking Pei Jingxu.
No matter what she becomes, she is still the heroine here!
She has a system that can heal a lost tongue or broken meridians!
I just don’t know what Rong Jianxue discovered. He pulled out her tongue and made her unable to control the joints of her limbs. She can’t command the system, nor can she escape from here by controlling the system with her hands!
She needs an opportunity, she needs a chance!
That face was originally scratched by Rong Jianxue, but because of her self-healing ability, only a few deep and shallow scars were left on her face. Probably, these scars would disappear soon.
She will have a flawless face again.
Pei Jingxu narrowed his eyes and took a few steps back: "Since Rong Jianxue was able to trap you, I guess you can't get out of this dungeon either."
"You're on your own."
After saying that, Pei Jingxu turned and left without even looking at Bai Shutong.
After leaving the secret cell, Pei Jingxu followed Hongyao out of the study and returned to his bedroom.
Pei Jingxu wasn't sure whether Rong Jianxue's dungeon could trap her forever, but since the storyline still recognized her as the "female protagonist", she thought she wouldn't be trapped to death there so easily.
She still asked Jiang Hui to strengthen the military vigilance to prevent any disaster from happening.
After several days of traveling, Pei Jingxu felt sore in the waist and weak in the legs.
Lying on the soft couch, Pei Jingxu thought about Bai Shutong and finally fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already evening.
Hongyao knocked on the door lightly: "Miss, the master is back and wants to take you to the Rong Mansion for dinner."
Pei Jingxu stood up and said, "I understand. Come in and help me wash and change clothes."
"yes."
After finishing his preparations, Pei Jingxu came to the outside of the main hall and saw Rong Jianxue wearing a dark blue robe. She was tall and graceful, and the orchids on the robe were sewn with silver thread, which made her look low-key and restrained.
Taking a deep breath, Pei Jingxu trotted forward and looked at him with a smile: "Why did you think of having dinner at Rong Mansion?"
"For a family dinner, of course you have to bring your wife along."
Rong Jianxue said this and took Pei Jingxu's hand without any explanation. The two of them rode in a carriage and headed towards Rong Mansion.
Since the separation of the family, the old house of Rong Mansion has gradually declined.
The Rong family hasn't had a family dinner once a month for a long time.
Today's family dinner is different from previous ones. Rong Jianxue wrote the invitation and asked the Rong family to prepare it.
So at this moment, when the carriage stopped in front of the Rong Mansion, Rong and Rong Baimao, who had been waiting outside the mansion for a long time, greeted them with a smile.
"Jianxue, you're finally home for the banquet!"
"It's been so long since Mother has seen you!"
"You must have a couple more drinks with your father later!"
Seeing Pei Jingxu and Rong Jianxue getting off the same carriage, the Rong couple's expressions changed again and again, but they pretended as if they had seen nothing and asked Rong Jianxue about her well-being.
——Nowadays, the huge Rong family depends on Rong Jianxue for their survival, so naturally they dare not say anything more.
Before they entered, another carriage stopped at the gate of Rong Mansion.
Rong Xuanzhou, wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, got off the carriage and his eyes were immediately fixed on Pei Jingxu.
