Chapter 285: I Trust You
"By the way, there is a very important thing I forgot to mention, you will be in a coma for 24 hours after eating the fruit. This is because the mana in the body becomes somewhat unstable when trying to adapt to the skills acquired through natural means. Bai Ze suddenly remembered the previous situation and hurriedly explained.
"Don't worry, I'll stay in your room until you wake up." Nangong Ling was the first to react, this is also normal, because Nangong Yi is his brother.
Bai Ze nodded calmly.
"Okay then."
In the absence of protection at all, he didn't seem to be worried about being attacked, after all, there was no point in worrying. First of all, if the enemy wants to hurt him, he must break through the defenses of the powerful Soul Evolver and Bai Ze. If this happens, then Nangong Yi knows that even if he is awake, there is no possibility of survival, so there is no need to worry.
As for his own people attacking him, Nangong Yi didn't think much about it. If he can't even trust the people who fight side by side every day, it's only a matter of time before he gets killed in the future.
Perhaps this is the idea of a person who is resigned to fate, but from a logical and objective point of view, it is also reasonable.
After Nangong Yi took his sister Nangong Ling to the room, Bai Ze finally looked at Shangguan Bingxue.
"This second one is for you." He finally reached out.
Above the palm of his hand, there was a small red fruit the size of a fingernail, and although it looked very delicious, Bai Ze knew that it was more sour than a lemon.
Shangguan Bingxue stared at his open palm, or more precisely, at the red fruit, his face was a little ugly. Finally, after being silent for a few seconds, she withdrew her gaze, looked directly into Bai Ze's eyes, and asked curiously, "Why did you give me one?" I haven't promised to go down with you yet, have you forgotten? This fruit represents a powerful second-order active skill, which in turn signifies the birth of a powerful soul evolver. Aren't you afraid that I'll end up joining another camp or even decide to create my own? ”
Bai Ze listened to her words and smiled indifferently. Although the question of the beautiful silver-haired woman is very reasonable, Shangguan Bingxue is not such a person.
He calmly replied, "We have had a lot of discussions and disagreements since the first day of the end. Until now, more than a month later, we still have disagreements, which is normal because we are people from two different worlds with different ideas. However, at least from what I know of you, even if you ultimately decide not to join my faction, I am confident that you will not be my enemy in the future. ”
Shangguan Bingxue raised her eyebrows, and said with a bit of amusement in her tone: "You are very confident, usually vigilant like a fox, do you really think that I will not be your enemy in the future?" ”
Bai Ze smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "Even if you become my enemy, you can't defeat me, right?" ”
When Kang Lan heard Bai Ze's words, she almost burst out laughing, and the corners of Fu Xuefeng's mouth began to twitch violently, and a drop of sweat slipped down her face silently.
"Humph!" Shangguan Bingxue snorted coldly, and was about to say something, Bai Ze continued.
"No kidding, to be honest, I did this because even if you become my enemy in the end, it only means that I see the wrong person and expect too much from you, that's all." He said calmly, looking at her with a sincere expression, "If I am wrong in the end, it will be a valuable lesson, not a loss." After all, a thousand thunders will still bear fruit, right? ”
Shangguan Bingxue's face changed several times when she heard Bai Ze's words. Eventually, she let out a strange sigh and shook her head. She leaned forward and took the red fruit lying in Bai Ze's palm.
Bai Ze nodded, and was about to say something, but his face froze the next moment.
Shangguan Bingxue looked at the fruit for a moment, put her slender fingers on her slightly open lips, and then stuffed them into her mouth. Her lips closed again, her graceful jaw moving, her throat quivering slightly.
"You...... Did you eat it? That's it? Bai Ze looked at her speechlessly.
Even Kang Lan and Fu Xuefeng were stunned.
Shangguan Bingxue's perfectly fair face became redder and redder, and her breathing became a little heavy, which indicated that the fruit was immediately starting to work.
She was a little embarrassed: "Then you have to take care of me until tomorrow......"
"Why don't you wait for us to get back to the starting point village? Then you can let Wu Yijun or Chen He take care of you, aren't you afraid that I will do something to you while you are asleep? Bai Ze pointed out with a confused face.
Although he trusted Shangguan Bingxue very much, he had not yet reached the point of unloading his defense. If someone asked Bai Ze if he would faint defenselessly in front of Shangguan Bingxue and put his life in her hands, Bai Ze would undoubtedly slap that person.
Bai Ze absolutely did not believe that the trust between himself and Shangguan Bingxue had reached such a height.
However, she actually...
"If that happens...... Shangguan Bingxue whispered, her eyelids closing rapidly. Just before she fell unconscious, she whispered, "That's that I misjudged you and expected too much from you......"
The corners of Bai Ze's mouth opened slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his dark eyes.
"Huh...... This woman has given you back your own words. Linglong's voice sounded in his head, and he said in a somewhat happy and funny tone: "This time, she really plans to follow you." ”
Bai Ze rolled his eyes, sighed heavily, stood up, and looked at the woman who had passed out on the sofa next to him.
Because it was uncomfortable to wear armor all the time, they wore ordinary casual clothes in private; The same is true of Shangguan Bingxue in front of him.
At this time, Shangguan Bingxue had begun to sweat profusely, and her skirt began to stick to her bewitching body, outlining that charming curve. This adds a completely different attraction to her usual coldness, whether it is an old man or a young person, Bai Ze can swear that as long as it is a man, he will definitely be attracted.
Even the shy Fu Xuefeng was slightly stunned and stared blankly, and it wasn't until Kanglan teased him that he came back to his senses with a red face.
Bai Ze looked at Kang Lan and was about to say something, but Kang Lan hurriedly shook his head and said seriously: "Chief, she trusts you not me, you can't live up to the trust of others." ”
"You ......" Bai Ze looked at her, wanting to say something, but couldn't speak.
What he wanted to tell Kanglan was to take Shangguan Bingxue to her room. After all, he is a man, and his relationship with Shangguan Bingxue is not particularly close. Bai Ze also saw Shangguan Bingxue's wariness of all men. He didn't want to live up to the trust she placed in him.
However, what Conlan said was also true; This left Bai Ze speechless.
Shangguan Bingxue had already made it clear, she entrusted all her safety to Bai Ze. In that case, wouldn't it be appropriate for him to take care of it? Although he didn't have time to respond, for Bai Ze, Shangguan Bingxue's high level of trust was indeed unexpected.
"Forget it, so be it." Bai Ze shook his head and didn't think about it anymore. It's not a big deal anyway.
Bai Ze walked around the small glass table and held Shangguan Bingxue in his arms.
When he stood up, Kanglan clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Chief, you two look more like a pair of newlyweds!" ”
Bai Ze almost fell to the ground when he heard Kanglan's words. He stared at her with wide eyes and said dumbfounded, "When did you become so joking?" ”
He remembered that not so long ago, Conlan was as shy as a rabbit. In the past, she would never dare to joke with him.
Conlan stuck out his tongue and smiled, "It's because I know what kind of person you are. ”
Bai Ze shook his head and walked upstairs without saying anything.
Fu Xuefeng finally coughed and muttered, "Hey, Kanglan, if that handsome guy Chen He knows, he will definitely have a heart attack!" ”
"Huh...... But there is one person who is afraid to die of sadness! Conlan laughed like a little fox, as if he had noticed something funny, and began to gossip.
Fu Xuefeng quickly thought of something and chased after him, "You mean Wu Yijun?" ”
"That's right." Kang Lan nodded and said in a low voice: "If she knew about this, she might regard Shangguan Bingxue as her rival!" ”
Fu Xuefeng rolled his eyes and muttered: "Anyway, there are many women who like Big Brother Bai, if you say that you are a rival in love, then you are also possible, right?" ”
"Me?" Conlan pointed at himself in surprise, then burst out laughing and said, "Of course not! I know where I am! Moreover, I feel that weak people like us simply don't have time to think about such things as love! ”
