"You can betray like this?!" Lou FeiāErās eyes gradually widened during Xu Xinās recounting. This method is truly brilliant. Is this guy teaching her how to betray?
Unfortunately, with the contract in place, she canāt even come up with the idea of betrayal right now.
Moreover, although her main treehouse hasnāt been chopped down yet, Xu Xin is already like the owner of that treehouse. Her main treehouse and parasitic treehouse are basically not much different now. She has no way to stop him if he ever decides to chop it down.
So, with her main treehouse already gone, using the method he mentioned to betray, she would still be strictly confined by another main treehouse holder.
To put it bluntly, even if she betrays, she would only be turning from one personās slave to another personās slave.
So even without the contract in place, she wouldnāt betray.
If she really had to choose, sheād rather obediently be Xu Xinās slave. After all, this man is the number one person in all areas. Following him gives the greatest chance of survival.
And he has never done anything to her during his weak moments, at most just scared her a bit.
With such good treatment, sheād be crazy to go be someone elseās slave!
If she could break away and become the master, she might have some thoughts of betrayal...
"You are the top in all regions, and still afraid of betrayal, huh?" Lou FeiāEr was a bit puzzled, "If he has any brains, he wouldnāt go be a dog for someone weaker, right?"
"This matter is a bit complicated." Li Wenxi glanced at Xu Xin, saw Xu Xin nodding at her, and then explained the whole story to Lou FeiāEr.
After all, today Lou FeiāEr is the main character, itās good to tell her about these things.
Her life is in her own hands, she dare not stir up trouble.
"Ah..." Lou FeiāEr trembled slightly all over when she heard Xu Xin crushed Ma Hongyuās fist and directly chopped off his head.
She thought of the scene when her throat was cut. That shadow was even larger than the space of the bracelet!
If this guy had chopped off her head back then, she might not have been able to revive.
Thinking about this, she felt a little thankful.
"But... so thatās how it is..." Lou FeiāEr fell into contemplation.
About the issue Xu Xin just mentioned... she seems to have a solution...
She can make mutation pills!
Mixing Xu Xinās ability to contract mutated creatures, couldnāt this make Ma Hongwei entirely unable to defy Xu Xin, just like herself?
She is all too familiar with this contract effect, it completely extinguishes any idea of escaping, making it much easier for her to commit suicide than to escape. So this method can indeed perfectly solve Xu Xinās concerns.
Should she tell him...
"How about you do this!" Li Wenxi gritted her teeth and proposed a suggestion, "Lure him over, find a reason to make as many control panels as possible, and then just..." She made a slashing gesture across her throat.
"Whoa, so ruthless?" Xu Xin quipped, "Killing the donkey after it has done the grinding?"
"Iām just thinking about your safety!" Li Wenxi slapped the table, her cheeks a bit red, she also felt this method was a bit inhumane.
Xu Xinās current increased affinity left her without temper, even regretting saying such a harsh thing.
"Huh? ... Huh huh huh!" Keke was startled by Li Wenxiās slap, poked her head out from Xu Xinās embrace to see, and was directly snatched over by Li Wenxi for a vigorous rub.
"...What you said does make sense, but..." Xu Xin sighed.
What she proposed is once and for all, but Xu Xin really doesnāt want to give up on Ma Hongweiās ability. Doing so would be like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Besides, his ability might become even stronger in the future.
Xu Xin took out the red mutation pill.
Perhaps... let him use this pill.
He would benefit.
"This is it!" Lou FeiāEr pointed at the pill in Xu Xinās hand and exclaimed.
She figured it out, itās not fair for only herself to be miserable, she should let this Ma Hongwei keep her company!
"Just let him use this, and then you sign a contract, trust me, he definitely wonāt dare to defy you, even if you want to steel him, he will have to endure it!"
Lou FeiāErās words made Xu Xinās forehead black line, Li Wenxiās cheeks also turned red: "Hey, what are you saying!"
But what she said next made Xu Xinās eyes suddenly widen.
"Actually, I can make this pill, as long as you have the materials." Lou FeiāEr, after thinking it through, still said this.
This...
"Huh? You can make it? Then can I also have a chance to eat one?" Li Wenxi was also very surprised, but more was delighted. This pill is indeed powerful!
"Of course!" Lou FeiāEr nodded, "However, it requires materials, intermediate mutant beastās blood and flesh? Seems to be this, I havenāt actually made one yet."
"This..." Xu Xin looked at her, first shocked, then slightly frowned, "Can you really do it?"
"...I can, whatās wrong, I can do it, shouldnāt you be happy?" Lou FeiāEr felt nervous being stared at by Xu Xin, leaned towards Li Wenxi.
Xu Xin continued staring at her, his eyes gradually narrowed: "I remember asking you about this before, right? You lied? Didnāt you say before that you canāt lie to me, seems like the contractās power isnāt as strong as you say."
With that, Xu Xin raised his left hand.
"What are you trying to do!" Lou FeiāEr was startled, immediately hid behind Li Wenxi, "You only asked me how these two pills were obtained, didnāt ask if I can make them! I didnāt lie, you didnāt ask and blamed me!"
Hmm? Is that so?
Xu Xin recalled the conversation back then.
Hmm, seems... it really was like she said.
"Wenxi, save me, heās going to lock me up again..." Lou FeiāErās voice took on a crying tone.
"Huh? What is this? Lock you up? What lock up?" Li Wenxi was completely at a loss, but nonetheless instinctively protected the seemingly about to cry Lou FeiāEr, said to Xu Xin, "Donāt bully her, isnāt she helping you?"
This seems... it really was my misunderstanding.
Xu Xin shook his head: "I misunderstood you, sorry."
Lou FeiāEr breathed a sigh of relief when Xu Xin relented.
Indeed! Maintaining a good relationship with Li Wenxi, she is basically safe!
She felt she was a genius!
"So what exactly is this locking up about?" Li Wenxi caught onto the crux, looked at Lou FeiāEr and Xu Xin, expression a bit odd, "Locking up?"
"Itās like this." Xu Xin didnāt want to cause any misunderstanding, explained a bit about his bracelet.
"Inside that bracelet, itās especially dark, completely void, nothing visible, no sound, only the sound of your own heartbeat! Itās horrifying! Stay too long inside, spirit will definitely suffer!" Lou FeiāEr said with lingering fear.
"Ah, similar to a negative decibel room?" Li Wenxi realized, "That is quite terrifying indeed, itās said no one can endure more than an hour."
"Even scarier than that!" Lou FeiāEr shook her head vigorously, "At least you can see things in a negative decibel room! Inside that bracelet, pitch black invisible, canāt touch anything either, itās just like a void coffin already buried underground, too terrifying!"
She wasnāt exaggerating, though she wanted to render the braceletās terror to evoke sympathy from Li Wenxi, she found with her vocabulary, she couldnāt even describe this terror, let alone exaggerate it.
Speaking of which, she thought of the space inside the bracelet and almost burst into tears.
Too terrifying!
"Alright, alright, as long as you donāt make too big a mistake, Xu Xin wonāt lock you in there." Li Wenxi comforted her.
"Donāt fall for her act, who knows how much sheās exaggerating." Xu Xin rolled his eyes.
"I did not!" Lou FeiāEr was so angry her face turned red, she had experienced the feeling of the boy who cried wolf, "If you donāt believe it, check it out yourself!"
Honestly, being punished for making a mistake, she felt was okay, quite normal, but that bracelet was really a bit excessive! Making a small mistake would get you locked in, felt like being sentenced to death for stealing five bucks!
"Alright, this topic ends here." Xu Xin made a stopping gesture, "If you really can make the pill, then make one now."
