Seeing Shi Xiaobai suddenly fall into silence before suddenly revealing a smile, the few people in the room were left baffled.
Feng Yuanlin and Pulp Farmer looked each other in the eye and once again urged each other to speak with their eyes. They had yet to figure out the most important question.
After a long period of 'winking', Pulp Farmer finally gave in. He secretly straightened his back and clenched his fists. He asked, "Shi Xiaobai, do you still have any impression of what happened after the fake Hero King disappeared?"
With that said, Feng Yuanlin silently turned his head to the other side, afraid that his expression would expose something.
Sunless's eyes changed slightly, but they instantly returned to their lifeless state.
The Infernal Queen's coquettish smile turned increasingly teasing.
When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he stopped his thoughts and looked up at Pulp Farmer. He subconsciously pondered over Pulp Farmer's question.
What happened after Dawn Li disappeared?
Shi Xiaobai fell into a deep recollection once again. He remembered that back when Dawn Li suddenly disappeared, his mind had been completely devoured by 'anger' due to his panic. The sliver of reason that he had awoken from Dawn's gentle call had vanished.
Back then, everything he saw was covered in scarlet. All life in front of him had turned into ugly ghosts. Therefore, when Sunless approached him, it was as though a ghost was walking towards him. His instinctive bloodlust drove him to lunge forward and stab his hands into Sunless's shoulders.
If not for the sensation of stabbing into her soft shoulders and Sunless's painful grunt that instantly jolted him awake, it would have probably resulted in a tragedy.
Thankfully, he had resisted the 'anger' in his heart with all his might. His already exhausted body had fallen unconscious as a result.
Shi Xiaobai fell silent for a moment before explaining his situation to the few people in the room. His eyes flashed a look of lingering fear and apology.
Sunless gradually felt moved as she listened to Shi Xiaobai's account. She felt her heart ache for Shi Xiaobai for being able to retain his rationality in that state, but she was also delighted that Shi Xiaobai had managed to overcome his' anger 'in order to not hurt her. Most of all, she was worried that Shi Xiaobai would blame himself for the injuries on his shoulders.
Sunless had mixed feelings, but she did not know what to say. Her eyes flickered and after a moment of hesitation, she finally reached out to hold Shi Xiaobai's hand. She said seriously, "It's not your fault."
A soft and warm sensation came from the back of his hand as he felt the girl's sincere and selfless feelings. Shi Xiaobai, who had his' first awakening of love 'in the array world, knew very well how precious such feelings were.
His heart warmed. He smiled and said softly, "I understand."
Sunless' eyes lit up slightly as she suddenly pursed her lips into a smile. The smile disappeared in a flash like a fleeting epiphyllum. It was extremely charming.
A certain 'sour smell' brewed in her, causing the Infernal Queen to roll her eyes.
Pulp Farmer, who was preoccupied with another matter, did not have the 'indignation' of a single dog. He did not even have the awareness of being a third wheel. Suddenly, he interjected, "Then … what happens after you fall unconscious? Do you still remember? "
"After you fainted?"
Shi Xiaobai said in surprise, "This King is already unconscious, so how can I have any impression?"
Pulp Farmer's eyes widened as cold sweat immediately seeped out of his forehead.
Oh no, he was in too much of a hurry to ask for an answer. He had even forgotten such simple logic. If Shi Xiaobai did not remember that he had 'woken up' while he was unconscious, wouldn't his question be telling Shi Xiaobai that other things had happened while he was unconscious? The intelligent Shi Xiaobai would definitely realize that something was amiss.
Indeed, Shi Xiaobai quickly frowned and asked, "Could it be that something happened while This King was unconscious? Or could it be that … This King did something while he was unconscious?"
Pulp Farmer's expression immediately changed drastically as he cursed himself for being stupid. He knew that he had to quickly think of a reason or fabricate a story to fool Shi Xiaobai, but how could Shi Xiaobai be easily fooled with his intelligence? Pulp Farmer's mind was in a mess. He was momentarily unable to think of a solution as he broke out in sweat from anxiety.
Feng Yuanlin was also feeling anxious by the side, but with his wooden head, what solution could he come up with?
Shi Xiaobai finally sensed something amiss. As though he had thought of something, his pupils suddenly constricted as his expression changed slightly. "Could it be …"
"He slapped you thrice."
Sunless' voice suddenly resounded.
"Ah?"
Shi Xiaobai turned his head to look at Sunless in surprise.
Sunless locked eyes with Shi Xiaobai as she slowly raised her left hand and pointed at Pulp Farmer. She said in a deadpan manner, "When you were unconscious, your vital signs disappeared. He slapped you thrice out of fright."
Pulp Farmer was taken aback. When did he slap Shi Xiaobai thrice?
Why was Sunless' slandering 'him?
Just as he had this puzzled thought, Pulp Farmer saw Shi Xiaobai's doubtful and nervous expression suddenly relax. With a flash of inspiration, Pulp Farmer immediately figured out why Sunless had suddenly lied.
It was because he had slapped Shi Xiaobai thrice and was worried that Shi Xiaobai would retain some semblance of consciousness while unconscious. Hence, he had asked such a strange question.
This was the reason Sunless had fabricated for him.
Pulp Farmer's heart relaxed as he was immediately filled with admiration for Sunless. Indeed, the only person who could fool Shi Xiaobai was a 'freak' with a similarly high intelligence like Sunless.
After Pulp Farmer figured this out, in order to match Sunless' explanation, he hurriedly echoed, "Yes, yes … Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose … That … that scene back then was just too tense. Feng Yuanlin was so anxious that he cried!"
Pulp Farmer was very 'loyal' and had dragged Feng Yuanlin down with him.
Feng Yuanlin exclaimed. With his intelligence, he obviously did not know what was happening. All he knew was that Sunless had suddenly 'slandered' Pulp Farmer, while Pulp Farmer had suddenly 'slandered' him.
So now, it was the rhythm of 'slandering' each other?
Feng Yuanlin was afraid that he would accidentally spoil Sunless and Pulp Farmer's' plan ', so he could only bite the bullet and make inferences.
Since they were going to 'slander' each other, shouldn't he say something?
But who could he 'slander'?
Feng Yuanlin racked his brains and suddenly had an idea. He said loudly, "Yes, yes, yes. The scene back then was too tense. Everyone thought you were dead. Big Brother Pulp Farmer slapped you thrice out of fright. I … I nearly cried from anxiety. Also, also, Sunless gave you mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to save you!"
At that moment, Feng Yuanlin felt that he was too clever. He had perfectly coordinated with the grand plan of 'triangular slander'.
Sunless, who was suddenly struck in the knee by an arrow, felt her breathing stagnate as her expression stiffened. She opened her mouth in a bid to explain, but she could not expose the lie at that moment. All she could do was swallow back her words. However, the embarrassment in her heart made her look away, not daring to look into Shi Xiaobai's eyes again. However, her right hand persistently did not move away.
Pulp Farmer looked down, as though it was none of his business. He secretly gave Feng Yuanlin a big thumbs up in his heart. This wave of spirituality support was truly brilliant!
The Infernal Queen, who was watching by the side, also burst into laughter. She laughed so hard that she could not stop.
Upon seeing this, Shi Xiaobai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He said, "You guys … It looks like This King needs to be more careful when he 'faints' in the future."
Pulp Farmer was delighted. Shi Xiaobai had been hoodwinked. The triangle was indeed the most stable shape.
Sunless felt relieved as well.
Regardless.
It was fine as long as he kept it a secret.
